Put 'Motorola unlock bootloader" in a search box. Look at the Youtube video before you go to the unlock website.
Here's the link to make it easier for you.

Due note that this voids your warranty completely by requesting an unlock code. Even if you don't decide to use the code.
I have successfully unlocked via Motorola website. But now I don't know how to root my GSM Dev Editions xt1053

That is exactly the information I used to mfastboot flash TWRP recovery and flash the Supersu zip in TWRP for root. Worked perfectly.

xt1095 on stock 5.1

is there a way to root an unlock bootloader running stock 5.1
im on the pure edition.
You have to go to settings > developer options > oem unlocking. Turn that on. Then you can do the normal process to unlock the bootloader.

Flash twrp recovery,then choose reboot to system. Before rebooting, it should offer to root your phone if your phone is not rooted. That should work.

If you're unlocked, flash TWRP and do whatever you'd like to do. Flash the latest SuperSU ZIP or install CM. That's the benefit of an unlocked bootloader...

Only a TEMP root, with Towel Root, or TowelPie root was possible on 4.4.2 with a locked bootloader.
IF you've never had your phone upgraded to 4.4.4... and you still have 4.4.2 with bootloader 30.B4, take a look at Sunshine to unlock your bootloader, then you can root just like you had a Developer Edition phone...

I had it unlocked already. To root it I followed the steps on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fzih8xkki0. It's an old video but it worked for me. I just had to get an updated version of SuperSu and TWRP recovery. That's all.

Not eligible to unlock BL for ATT MotoX

I just get my moto X 2014, when I try to unlock the bootloader it says your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking.
My CID is 0x001
On motorola forum they said that AT&T devices are not unlockable
Then I just don't understand why there are so many mod, flashable ZIP on XDA for ATT XT1097
It is unlockable, how to you flash a TWRP to flash them

Only the 1097 from AT&T cannot be unlocked. All the other 1097 models can be unlocked which is why there is mods, roms and twrp for those.
Sorry, but you can't unlock, flash twrp, nor use custom roms on the AT&T model.
