I know that the bootloaders are locked, but can you unlock it after you get root?
I know that they're working on root exploits, and I helped test somethings today for the VZW version.
Would something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker work or something similiar be made for it?
If you can have root access without unlocking the boot loader that would be beneficial. Means your warranty is still valid for me I'm screwed as my boot loader is unlocked

Not without some sort of boot strap. Like safe strap or boot menu.

Is anyone working on an unofficial bootloader unlock/lock so we wouldn't lose our warranty?

What I would like to know is if the developer edition still maintains warranty after unlocking the boot loader?

To my understanding is that No It doesn't. When you go to the Moto website and go to the unlock your bootloader area and then find your phone. Once you click on that it gives you the whole deal on what you are about to do is going to void your warranty. Go figure, they make a phone with the ability to unlock the boot loader for just that specific reason and they still void your warranty. Lol

Is it a Developer Edition or an AT&T model? The AT&T model doesn't have an unlockable bootloader. The dev edition does, and therefore you can flash the dev firmware onto it.
I had thought you could unlock it through the tool online?

AT&T Moto X's do not allow for the bootloader to be unlocked.

I'm not familiar with the Moto x xt1053 at all, I've been doing some searching using tapatalk so it's not the easiest.
What I'm trying to figure out is if there's a full root method and a tether app that runs off of my phone data rather than my hotspot plan. Also if there's anything else I should know I'm getting myself into. Thank you in advance.

The XT1053 is either the GSM Developer Edition or the GSM "unlocked" (includes T-Mobile SIM) from Moto Maker.
You can unlock the bootloader on it via Motorola's web site, but unless you have the Developer Edition, you void your warranty. Once the bootloader is unlocked, you can root any rom version on there.
IF you get the Non-Dev Edition and do not want to unlocked (so you keep your warranty), then you have to worry about what rom is on your phone. If it already has 4.4.2 installed, you can't root it with a locked bootloader. If you have 4.4 or lower, you can root, but do NOT take the update to 4.4.2. For more details see what I've already typed over in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/-t2702982
As for tethering, there are various options once you root depending on your carrier.
Thank you got the info! How do I know if it's the dev edition or not? If it's already on 4.4.2 can I downgrade like I would using Odin with my Samsung?

Dev edition is black face, woven white back, silver accents (button/camera ring) and says "Developer Edition" on the back. "GSM Unlocked' wont say Dev Edition on back, and can be black or other color backs.
as for downgrade, please take the time and use the LINK I supplied, its answered over there.
Awesome, thank you again. This one is a white front and a blue back with green camera ring, trading my lte s3 for it.

Its not dev edition. Then again, the warranty is non-transferrable... so unless the person you are getting it from is a friend/family member who could send it for warranty repair later, the warranty wouldn't apply to you so unlocking wouldn't impact you.
I'm not worried about a warranty at all. So basically, from what I gather, I can root no matter what, but if it's on 4.4.2 I have to unlock the bootloader first?

Yup.. as said in the other thread, if its on 4.4 (or lower), you can use SlapMyMoto/MotoWpNoMo to root and disable write protection.
however, unlocking the bootloader & rooting is way way easier.
Awesome, I read it, just wanted to make sure I got it right. I appreciate the help!

That was actually very quick and painless. I unlocked the bootloader and it was just like "hey, how's some root". I was like sure, and it was just rooted. Pretty sweet.
Actually how to know my LG G Flex D959 T-Mobile bootloader is locked or unlocked? Is there any way to know my lg g flex d959 t-mobile bootloader is locked or unlocked?

Hello, I just got my Sony Xperia Z1S a couple of weeks ago and I'm on T-Mobile's Jump Program. I understand how the program works but I'm wondering if I root the phone and put a custom recovery on it will they say I can't jump to a new device when I'm eligible?

They can easy find out if you are rooted or not by seeing the boot loader its binary change for good if you root.
Only some devices have binary resetter.
so think and take you next step.
Press thanks if I helped you.
That is incorrect.
The boot loader on a Z1s can not be unlocked.
You can always unroot Xperia devices by flashing a stock ftf and no sign of routing is left.

without unlocking boot loader how can we root ?
You follow the one of the several guides in the development section.
Unlocking the bootloader is not the only way to root and since a lot of Xperia devices can not unlock the boot there are lots of ways to root with out touching the boot loader

Unlocked bootloader is always rootable.
Locked on other hand is sometimes HARD to root.
So if you can't root locked bl, it's easier to make tutorial to root with unlocked.
Since z1s can't unlock bl, it's mean it is locked, he rooted that way.
If he unroot, or flash stock rom, no trace of root is left behind.

That is only one way to root, and always works, if you are allowed to unlock the boot
But it is not often the only way or the best way or even possible (as some devices can not unlock the boot)

Yup. I am rooted but my bootloader is still locked. The only other device I had where I was rooted but my bootloader locked down tight was my Motorola Droid X. But still was able to flash custom Roms through Bootstrap recovery.

But its always, to me, nice to have the boot loader unlocked because you can do a lot more in the hacking sense with no worries. All of my other devices that have the BL unlocked are all easy to save if you some how bricked it. No need for rsd lite / sbf your Moto device. Plus all of my devices where I unlocked the BL, I had long after the warranty expired.

ya unlocking gives full access to user.
Just picked up my Moto X 2014 on AT&T today and the motorola website won't get me my key. What's the deal?
Did you get the AT&T variant? You can't unlock the bootloader on it. You would have to get the Pure Edition from Motorola.

So there's no way to get a custom rom and root? Stuck with this bloatware? That's seriously disappointing.
There is root using Mofo. Check it out here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/noob-guide-rooting-verizon-moto-x-2014-t3097375. It won't unlock the bootloader but will give root. It also doesn't disable write protection do you will lose any changes made to /system after a reboot. But it's all the carrier versions have right now.
