I've read and reread jcase's guide since it was first released but it's a little too advanced for me and includes far too many steps than I could easily botch. It's my opinion that a better guide or video could be really beneficial for myself as well as all the other lost users that make the occasional failed attempt post. Is there anyone out there who's successfully completed root who could help out?

Not sure if you still need help or not but here is what I did. None of this is my own work. I read through the forums over and over and tried to take notes from the 4 different forums (RSD Lite, RockMyMoto, MotoWPNoMo, and SlapMyMoto) so that I could have one place to look while rooting my phone. No video but maybe this will help you get rooted.
Edit: Telnet Thread
Before you begin, make sure to visit each forum and download the necessary files. You will need RSD Lite, Cydia Impactor, Android SDK(For ADB), the camera update file for 4.2.2., and the files from each of the 3 steps (RockMyMoto, MotoWPNoMo, and SlapMyMoto). Unzip these and save all the files in the same folder with your SDK tools. You will also need to open the 4.2.2. file using wordpad and delete the following line
<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
Save the new file with the deleted line and use this when you use RSD Lite to go back to 4.2.2.
You will need to turn off firewalls and antivirus. Telnet needs to be enabled on your computer. I used Windows 7 and you can find that option from Control Panel, Programs, Turn Windows Features On and Off. Then check the boxes for Telnet Client and Server.
You will need to turn on USB debugging on your device and hook it up to your computer and make sure you have all of the necessary drivers working. You can test by opening your ADB command window (hold shift and right click the folder where you downloaded and unzipped Android SDK) and typing adb devices. If it does not list a device, you need to check your drivers (Motorola drivers) If it does, you are ready to start.
Root directions
ADB commands in bold and telnet commands in italics. Do not type "quotes" except internal set in step 5 l.
1. Revert to 4.2.2 using RSD Lite
a. Open command prompt by holding shift and right clicking folder where ADB tools are
b. Verify adb devices connected by typing "adb devices"
c. Reboot into bootloader by typing "adb reboot bootloader"
d. Open RSD Lite and verify that device is connected (Should show up in Line 1)
e. Click three dots to Open file VZW_XT1060_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-MX-17-57-X-1_CFC_1FF
f. Click Start and let process run.
Phone will be working and RSD Lite will show that it is working. After phone reboots type adb reboot bootloader in adb command window. This will let it reconnect to RSD Lite and should say finished or passed where it had listed the progress. If it does, start up the phone using volume up on your phone and go back to settings and enable usb debugging. Then proceed to RockMyMoto.
2. Run RockMyMoto
a. Open adb command prompt
b. Find device ip address
i. type "adb shell getprop dhcp.wlan0.ipaddress"
ii. write this down for future use
c. Push files to sd card
i. type "adb push su /sdcard/"
ii. type "adb push RockMyMoto.jar /sdcard/"
d. Run Cydia Impactor “# start telnetd as system on port 2222” and hit start
e. Open a command window by holding shift and right clicking on the folder where you saved Cydia Imapactor.
f. Type "telnet {your phone’s ip address} 2222"
g. Type "dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto"
h. Reboot in adb command prompt by typing "adb reboot"
i. Repeat telnet process again (will have to start a new session after each reboot) (should reboot on its own this time)
i. type "dalvikvm –cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto"
j. Repeat telnet process for a third time (Will not reboot)
i. type "dalvikvm –cp /sdcard/RockMyMoto.jar RockMyMoto"
k. Wait ~60 seconds for su to install then install SuperSu from Google Play Store
You should now have root
3. Run MotoWpNoMo to disable write protection (Must be rooted and have disabled firewall and antivirus before running. Also set phone to "stay awake" when charging. Will need to grant root permissions during process so make sure to watch phone)
a. Run “wpbegone.exe” as administrator. File located in MotoWpNoMo folder
b. Follow on-screen prompts
c. After complete, verify in adb command prompt by typing "adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect"
d. Will see a “0” if write protection is disabled
I had to repeat this process 5 or 6 times before it actually worked. It will take 15 minutes or so if it runs the whole process. If not, it will cut short and tell you to hit enter to exit.
4. Use RSD Lite to go back to the 4.2.2. update. Follow the same directions from Step 1
5. Run SlapMyMoto 1.0
a. Push SlapMyMoto to sd card using adb command window
i. type "adb push SlapMyMoto.jar /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar"
b. Open telnet session (See 2c and 2d)
c. In telnet type "dalvikvm –cp /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar SlapMyMoto"
d. Reboot in adb
i. type "adb reboot"
e. Open telnet session again
i. type "dalvikvm –cp /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar SlapMyMoto"
f. Device should reboot
g. Take 4.4 OTA
h. Open adb command prompt
i. type "adb shell"
j. type "cp /sdcard/install.sh /data/local/tmp/install.sh"
k.type chmod 755 /data/local.tmp/install.sh
l. type "echo “/data/local/tmp/install.sh” > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper"
m. Toggle Bluetooth and when device reboots, process is complete
(Mine device did not reboot with bluetooth toggle so I rebooted using adb command and it worked fine)
Agreed with OP. I'll try the above guide, thanks. Question: Does this method cause permanent changes? I heard somewhere that either RockMyMoto or SlapMyMoto or something, 1 of the methods, caused irreversible changes even if you went back to stock. I'm really just looking to root to get tethering on an unlimited Verizon account and other basic things.

The only irreversible change comes from MotoWPNoMo. It permanently turns off write protection.
If you root and go through all of the steps you can access free wifi tethering. It can be done after following the above directions and then running the script from post #35 in this thread.
Thanks a ton. I don't think that turning off write protection is a big deal if I don't go crazy letting stuff access it or whatever. I appreciate the help. Only other problem I wondered is getting OTA updates but I guess people will make topics how to accept them while rooted later when new updates come out.
Edit: Is that above guide for non DE Moto X on Verizon? 2) That link for tethering also says for DE, does that matter? Non DE here
Not 100% sure but I think that you can still accept OTA updates if you use RSD lite to go back to 4.2.2 before you do it.
Yes, the link will work for non DE Verizon Moto X. I am running a non DE from Verizon and have so far had no problems with it. Granted, I haven't used it much yet but so far so good.

Correct.. If u rsd back to 4.2.2 u can still take OTA..HOWEVER u will no be able to root... Simply because there is no known root for 4.4 hince y u must go back to 4.2.2

I get that. But the list above eventually says take the 4.4 OTA. So really, it's going back to 4.2.2, rooting, then since you're already exploited, you can still get 4.4, right? I was worred about getting updates beyond 4.4 in the future, but I guess people will figure that out when they come out.

Yes... U go back to 4.2.2 get root then use motowpnomo to kill WP then reflash back to 4.2.2 for clean push slapmymoto and then take OTA for 4.4 and finish using the adb commands listed in instructions.

... You will also need to open the 4.2.2. file using wordpad and delete the following line

Save the new file with the deleted line and use this when you use RSD Lite to go back to 4.2.2....

this is really great, thanks! I'll give this a try tonight. however, I need clarification on this step I extracted from your instructions. when saving the file, do I need to re-zip the package or do anything special?

I did not rezip the file. I deleted the line, hit save, closed wordpad, and used the file with RSD Lite.

Followed the guide, had root at the beginning. Took the 4.4 OTA and finished the guide, no longer have root with SU or Titanium Backup. Can't proceed further, any help?
Edit: Seems a reboot into bootloader and then rebooting worked. Do I need to do this every time I reboot the phone? As in, must I connect it to my PC and do this? Or can I reboot from the phone directly somehow?

I edited too late, sorry about that. Seems after I randomly rebooted again through the adb prompt on my computer, it now works, for now.

Were you able to verify that write protection was turned off using adb?
c. After complete, verify in adb command prompt by typing “adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect”
d. Will see a “0” if write protection is disabled
i'm currently at step 2d, and cydia just reads, "testing #9950697".... how long should this process take before I try something different?
thanks!

Check your phone because the first time you do it, you have to hit "Accept" on the screen.

It generally takes less than a minute or 2 to go through the testing process and connect.

I have attempted to root my Moto X several times and I have had no success. I originally had 4.2.2. rooted with PwnMyMoto. i have reflashed the stock 4.2.2. firmware (or at least i think i have).Every time I have finished and opened SuperSU, I get a notification that no SU binary is installed. I have copied and pasted my cmd prompts along with the file versions and applied setting in hopes someone will be able to see where the problem is occurring.

I have a Bell MB886 that I bought on Amazon.com. It came with ICS 4.0.4, and OTA doesn't work for me (maybe because I'm from Chile).
I saw this post and wanted to install stock Bell's 4.1.2 for my Atrix HD using RSD Lite, which gave me lots of errors, and when I finnaly could make it work, it gave me an error flashing system.img.
I thought I bricked my phone, cause even trying to flash other original ROMs, it gave the same error message.
From this point, I did some research on the internet and I want to share my experience with you guys to flash the Stock ROMs using the manual method on our Atrix HD's.
First: Get the firmwares.

Once you download the firmware ZIP, uncompress it to any folder you want (I recommend using the C:\ root or your desktop).
Then you need to download the file "fastboots.zip" (attached to this post).
Uncompress the files located on the Windows folder of the file fastboots.zip on the folder you decompressed the stock ROM.
If you want to replace the original recovery with CWM, you can replace the file "recovery.img" on the folder you decompressed the stock ROM with the one attached to this post (uncompress it on the same folder).
You should get something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There you have the files "fastboot" (with orange, the one you will use to flash), "MB886~.xml" (the XML file that contains the instructions for flashing the system), and if you replaced it, contains the modified recovery.img (in yellow).
So, now we will analyze the MB886_bell-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-8_MB886_FFW-11-4-release-keys-BellMobility-CA.xml file. There is always a XML file named as the ROM name, that contains the instructions to RSD Lite for flashing the file. We will use this instructions for manually flashing our file.
Open the XML file with Notepad and you should see this:
The lines on red are useless for us. The rest of lines are the ones we have to insert on the fastboot command line.
Let's analyze the lines.
Every line includes an operation (command), var/partition, and filename. We have to tell the command line the commands between < >. For example:
When the XML file says this:
<step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt_main0.bin" MD5="66250529A6711D25A1AFB4F8D4CA4873" />
It tells to the command line:
flash partition gpt_main0.bin
So, now we will flash our device.
I assume you have installed Motorola's Drivers (link) and put your phone on fastboot mode (Turn off your phone and press both volume keys and power on. You'll enter bootmenu options. Choose AP Fastboot by scrolling with volume down and volume up to select).
This guide is intended for use under Windows 7 64-bit, as I have not tested it on other platforms. Do it at your own risk as I assume no responsability if this doesn't work for you as it worked for me.
Go to the folder on which you extracted the files, and click the adress bar and type CMD and hit enter, doing this we open the command line on the folder you are actually.
So, now we have to flash the rom, typing the commands on the XML file on the command line.
If the XML file says the following:
Code:
<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
<step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt_main0.bin" MD5="66250529A6711D25A1AFB4F8D4CA4873" />

<step operation="flash" partition="devtree" filename="device_tree.bin" MD5="E0E4804A20D47C379B2F718F1C118B8A" />

<step operation="flash" partition="cdrom" filename="cdrom" MD5="C3A09EA2D007AC96F4BA7AA09B478ABE" />
<step operation="erase" partition="tombstones" />
<step operation="erase" partition="cache" />
<step operation="erase" partition="userdata" />
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_clear" />
We have to insert the following on the command line (hitting enter between lines):
fastboot flash partition gpt_main0.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2.mbn
fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cdrom cdrom
fastboot erase tombstones
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
If between every step you see the OK message, every went ok. Type fastboot reboot and you should see your new system working OK.
I hope this helps anyone that had the same problem as I had, as RSD Lite didn't work for me, and almost bricked my new Atrix HD :good:
Greetings,
I also did this before Btw, nice guide for anyone who cant use RSDLite to flash.

wow u are super awesome, i thought i surely bricked my atrix but this brought it back from the grave, thank you, thank you, thank you. lol
fixed my moto atrix hd phone!!
hey so i got it figured out by following these directions from xda ppl http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2259661 im all good again & brought back from dead. but question do u think i can now use cwm recovery to flash a stock at&t rom onto phone cuz i flashed a stock bell rom but maybe i will stick with that because 1. its jb 4.1.2 verus at&t 4.1.1 & 2. it lets the wifi hotspot feature built into rom work where as at&t 4.1.1 rom blocked it? ty tho for all your help. ron. :highfive:
It worked 4 me, i upgraded my bell's atrix hd from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2, thanks!
Saved my phone
You are awesome! I was so afraid I'd bricked my phone. I've been lurking the forum for a while, but finally joined just to say thanks.
Hello everyone. I'm glad to hear that this worked for you too :laugh:

Honestly I don't know, as I have not ever installed AT&T ROMs on my phone, only Bell ones. As far as I know, you can install AT&T ROMs on Bell phones, but only if they have unlocked bootloaders. As a matter of fact, there is a guide for that! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050283
Hope this helps.
Greetings,
mega thanks, leanix ! ! !
leanix, i was SOOoo close to just giving up on my Atrix HD... (read my plight at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394238&page=2 ).
Very grateful for your post. It was time consuming and tedious to execute all the commands, but have just loaded epinter's rom and excited about having an AWESOME Atrix HD breathing fire!
Whew!!!!

hello I do not understand how it is to put the commands in the cmd you could make a video .. I when I try to flashar with lite rs I get error in "BOOT.IMG" know it can be?
well crud...
Right in the middle of flashing a new ROM (the PACMAN) my sWindows machine goes to the infamous blue-screen-of-death... Now the phone is in bootflash mode and won't accept any flashing.
After spending most of the day trying various 'tricks' to no avail, I'm resolved to send it to mobiletechvideos.com and let them revive it. I think it will take a JTAG to jump-start this guy...
I'll post a reply when it's returned and report on what they were able to do.

mobiletechvideos.com did good on my Atrix HD
I've had a month now to play with my revived Atrix HD! I sent my bricked phone to mobiletechvideos.com and they were able to install the PACMAN rom onto it (pac_mb866_4.3.Build-1_20130917-025321). So far, so good. I'm very happy to have a working 4.3 on the AHD. And thanks to Skeevy420 for his work to port this rom.

Strangely enough I can flash MB886_niimx-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-50_MB886_NII_TA-2-16-release-keys-NII-MX after removing the red lines, but can't get past "fastboot flash partition gpt_main0.bin" when trying MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA

So what I found out is that you can not "cross flash" without encountering errors. Find out which base your phone is currently, as the partition table my be different and you may not be able to flash gpt_main0.bin. I got the point I couldn't use RSDlite to flash any of the 4.1.x stock roms without it failing. Had to do it manually, when you find which, you're able to flash it all without errors.

I just had that problem last night. I followed the OP's guide, but only ran this one command: fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin. Make sure NON-HLOS.bin is in the same directory as fastboot.exe
I'm on the last step of mjphillips1981's mac toolkit for 4.4 rooting and it won't finish:
Code:
Press ENTER to finish the SlapMyMoto process.
Open a new terminal window by pressing Command+N
In the new terminal window type the following command
./adb shell echo "/data/local/tmp/install.sh" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
Press ENTER when you have finished the above command
I keep getting the error:
Code:
-bash: /sys/kernel/uevent_helper: No such file or directory
I've been at this all day
try this
open terminal
cd to the toolkit folder
type the following (one line at a time)
./adb shell
echo "/data/local/tmp/install.sh" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
I think these lines need to be separated.
Hit me up on Google+ and lets see if we can work through this.
An I would suggest that you put questions in the toolkit thread. I was just browsing and noticed this. If you put the question in the thread I get an email.

missed some commands it looks like but im not sure if anything is diffrent because your on a mac
but here is the step by step from jcase's thread
Step1)
Unzip SlapMyMoto-1,0.zip and push the jar file to your internal storage
Code:
adb push SlapMyMoto.jar /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar
Step2)
Use http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/ to open up a telnet session as system user on port 2222. We covered how to use Impactor and telnet in the RockMyMoto root, I won't be covering it again since this post is going to be long enough already, see here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2509590 or http://rootzwiki.com/topic/107098-ro...the-first-ota/
Connecting over telnet, and run Stage1 with this command:
Code:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar SlapMyMoto
When the device tells you to reboot, do this manually with "adb reboot" or your power button. It will not auto reboot on this step
Step3)
Once the device has rebooted, run Impactor again and connect over telnet just like in the previous step, then run the same command
Code:
dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/SlapMyMoto.jar SlapMyMoto
Once the device has rebooted, please take the 4.4 OTA.
Step4)
Now that we are on 4.4, we can finish the process with adb shell:
Code:
adb shell
cp /sdcard/install.sh /data/local/tmp/install.sh
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/install.sh
echo "/data/local/tmp/install.sh" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper

These commands are all in the toolkit. The only one that needed to be enter on individual lines is the one he listed.
I just wish he would have posted the question in the Toolkit thread so I could have helped earlier.

Thanks, I think this did it. The only thing is that I had to manually reboot my phone, but it appears I am rooted as I'm able to run root-only apps. XDA wouldn't let me post on your thread because I don't have the required number of posts. Glad you came across this thread! Thanks again

You're welcome! From what I read. Some people do experience that the phone does not reboot on its own.
Glad you got it working.
I just removed the toolkit. It's too hard to for me to get things working correctly when I do not have a consumer device to test with.
I take no credit for this. Do not thank me. Go thank Skrilax_CZ.

It is not prerooted. In order to root, you will need an unlocked bootloader and CWM/TWRP.

I tried to flash this file with rsd lite and I received an error.
I updated to 182.46.10.... recently, but I suppose 183 has some issues alredy fixed. What did happen here?
Please someone let me know what happened.

Just so you and everyone else knows (I'll have to post this in a few threads) but the Towel Root method completely works on our phones. Locked bootloader, stock 4.4.2, and I was able to root my wife's Razr M just now:

If by flashing to 4.4.3, you mean AOSP based ROMs, then no.

I lost it going to official Verizon (4.4.2), but got it back by doing the same hack I used to get it in the first place.

Issues with RSD Lite
Anyone having issues flashing back to Stock 98.30 with the flash files? I keep getting an "Unknown Fastboot Command", Failed Flash Error.. Not sure if RSD Lite or PC config is the problem. I downloaded the above mentioned file (4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip, Opened RSD Lite, Decompressed/Flashed, and get "FAIL". Anything I need to change in my ADB/Fastboot/SDK-Platform-tools folder??? The error I am getting says "Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing".
So...if I didn't want to overwrite my current system install, could I just use this:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2.mbn
fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase tombstones
fastboot erase cache

Hello. I tried again but RSDLite does not see it. Windows detects the phone correctly but RSDLite not. Patience will use the adb commands to install the firmware.

Hello. If you have the Moto X 2013, and want to install a firmware you must use RSDLite and download your firmware from here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
However, if you have the Moto X 2014 RSDLite does not work and then you have to use adb commands and install it manually. To date, however, the Moto X 2014 is only a firmware that you can download from here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=37
Hope of signing helped.
I too would like to know what the commands are to flash the phone back to stock via ADB.
I have tried RSD Lite with no success (device is not recognized)
I have tried the tool found here in the Android Development Forum with no success. The phone is back to stock ie. firmware, recovery, boot logo, etc. but SuperSU is still installed and does not respond to the full unroot command. In addition in Fastboot my software status is modified and the bootloader is still unlocked.
If you open the xml file all the commands for fastboot should be listed. They need to be run while in fastboot mode

This is what I see in the XML file. Is there an easy to decipher what I would type at the CMD prompt? It looks like I type what is in "quotations" with a preceding fastboot.
What command do I start at? Is it the line "flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt.bin" or do I need to enter the lines above too?
Where do I stop? Is the last line I enter "erase" partition="clogo"

Fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Theyve changed the wording a bit but should be the same. If you want to flash you run the fastboot commands for all the ones that day "flash" and you also run the ones that say "erase" unless you want to keep your data. Good luck and if you flash theres probably no turning back.
in order for rsd to see you phone you need to update to rsd6.2.4 and usbdrivers6.4
