Hi
Is it good to root 5.0? or shall I wait to 5.1?
what will happen if I rooted on Lollipop 5.0 the upgraded to 5.1 using OTA update? will it harm my device?
Is there a trusted/tested root for Moto X 2014 Lollipop 5.0?
If you are rooted you will need to do a clean install of 5.0 before accepting an OTA to 5.1 or the OTA will fail. The way I use to root is to flash a custom recovery and then flash SuperSU.

what do you mean by "good"? in what aspects? the answer will depend on how you want to use after root features.
AFAIK, you have to stock recovery installed before getting any OTA, they wont even downloaded if you have a custom recovery, so you have to use fastboot to install stock "recovery.img" before getting OTA.
I used CF-Auto root method, its safe and easy, but beware, you have to unlock bootloader first.

I hope it helped.
Wanted to know if there was a root out there for N900A Lollipop 5.0 yet. or if there was a way to restore back to 4.4.2 and then root and update to 5.0 been looking for an hour and not finding anything. if this has already been answered please post link and i will close thread.
You will need to downgrade back to NC2, then root with towelroot, install busybox, install safestrap, then upgrade to rooted Lollipop. You can find downgrade instructions/link on Walter White's thread as well as instructions on how to do the lollipop upgrade once you're rooted:

Hello,
I have a z3C running lollipop (updated from PC Companion), which had KK fully rooted. After the update I've lost root and seems I can´t get it back.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!
you can't update via PC companion and retain root. you'll need to downgrade back to kit kat, root again, and then upgrade to lollipop by flashing a pre-rooted rom.

I wanted to ask if there is a root for 5.0 yet without having to downgrade or using Safestrap ( I had no luck with safestrap nor with the downgrade). I was either hoping for something like towelroot for 5.0. Or even a custom rom with odin install.
Didn't wok for me. What am I doing wrong?
Is there another, easier way to root?
Basically, all I really want is to flash Lineage OS 14.1. That's the end goal.
So far, I've successfully unlocked the bootloader.
Firmware is 10.7.A.0.228 Lollipop 5.1.1
