Due to some work-related reason, I can't have a rooted Moto X.
I start to think about what I can do without root. If I understand it correctly, if I have an unlocked boot-loader, I will be able to install TWRP and flash the apps that need the root access. Is this true?
If so, is hashcode's safestrap a viable option? Yes I'd have to waste some space. But the ROM slot I added will be essentially flash-able via TWRP.
Can anyone comment if this will work?
Thanks
AT&T Moto X's cannot be bootloader unlocked.
The idea of SafeStrap, I think, is to create another slot. This does not require an unlocked boot-loader, does it?
Okay, got a strange question here. I plan on going from the N5 to the unlocked GSM MotoMaker Moto X version. All I want is root with stock recovery (don't really care for a custom recovery, plus I'd like to still receive OTAs). Can I unlock the Moto X bootloader, load TWRP recovery (instead of flash), and then install SuperSU? Or do I *have* to flash TWRP to achieve root?
correct me if im wrong, but I think you can "unlock the Moto X bootloader, load TWRP recovery (instead of flash), and then install SuperSU".
or
use one of the methods in the original android development section to achieve root.

Yes, I've looked at those threads. However, in 4.4, a backdoor needs to be introduced in order to maintain root. I'd rather not have to do that and I don't mind unlocking bootloaders. This will be my first, non-Nexus device in awhile, so I just wanted to make sure I can just unlocked the bootloader, load a custom recovery, flash SuperSU and then just have root.

Just unlock your boot loader, flash twrp recovery and finally flash supersu and you're good to go. Ota's can not be accepted and flashed with root or custom recovery on the moto

Thanks! That's what I thought! I didn't know that root removed the ability to accept OTAs?

Hi I am planing my first root and I am honestly a little confused. I am on TMobile with 4.4 KitKat (Moto X).
I understand how to unlock the Bootloader and that I need to install TWRP before I can activate SU.
I am just not sure about the bugs (if any) with TWRP and what version to use.
The reason for my concern is on the TWRP website the Moto X is not listed as a supported device.
Is this video Tutorial still valid - is this how to do it with 4.4 KitKat?
And is this the latest version that works (what are the known bugs)?
Hello,
I need help. So I have a regular Verizon HTC One M7 running on 5.0.2 with Sense 6. I want to know if it's possible to root this yet. I've looked everywhere and can't find any luck. Does anyone know if it's possible yet and if so, how? I'm kind of a noob when it comes rooting (first time) so I really don't know what to be looking for. Also, do I have to pay for S-off (What does that even do?) or can I root without it?
Thanks to anyone who tries to help
Google sunshine s off, that will be your best bet, after you get s off u probably unlock boot loader , then using a custom recovery you can root. Verizon is a pain when it comes to rooting

Well the only way you can be able to flash a custom ROM is by gaining S-OFF on this one so that means you will have to pay $25 for sunshine and then install a custom recovery then you can flash the ROMs found in the development forum for the Verizon HTC One. If you are having problems with sunshine as you said that you are on the latest software update from Verizon, you can see this thread for help. Here's an article talking about S-OFF. You might want to check it out. Lastly, you must be wondering why the users of the HTC One from Verizon has to achieve S-OFF before everything else. It's because Verizon has locked the M7 down making it impossible to unlock using HTC Dev and the only way to be able to flash a custom ROM is by getting S-OFF'ed and getting your bootloader unlocked using sunshine.
You can flash a custom recovery by using fastboot and typing the following command in the command line.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recoveryName>.img
In where <recoveryName> is the name of the custom recovery image you are going to flash.
Good luck!

You'll need to
achieve temp root
use sunshine to unlock the bootloader / s-off --->25$
flash a custom recovery (TWRP)
and you can root flashing latest supersu.zip in custom recovery
Im sure there is some threads in the Verizon HTC One forum explaining how to achieve temp root

I don't need S-off because I don't have plans to add a rom. I just want to give apps root access. Can I use HTCDev.com to unlock my bootloader?
EDIT: I read what the guy above me said. I guess I have to pay for Sunshine.
My son has a moto x bought in 2014 - XT1052. How can i root it safely, because i am a little afraid of the process. I have in mind that is very dificult to do that in this phone, anybody as made it? I have the OPO rooted and is great, my son wants some of the functionalities that i have in my phone but it needs to be rooted...
Sorry for my english (not my 1st or 2nd language)...
yes possible to root, i've rooted mine with king root, but you need to unlock your bootloader first, then install the .apk file of king root(the easiest method to root moto x), then get twrp recovery and you're good to go !
