Do not take the ota, wait for the sbf firmware and flash with rsdlite, I have seen and read more problems due to accepting an ota, patience my friend. No guarantee that you will have an issue but its better to be safe than sorry

SAme here, but what If I unroot via toolkit? Dangerous?

If you have deleted system apps, flashed a custom recovery or things like that then either SBF back to the original 4.2.2 firmware or 4.4 when available. If its only root you can just take the OTA. It will kill root during the process.

4.4 or 4.4.2

My unlocked gsm Moto X firmware version is 4.4, is that different from 4.4.2? Some rooting protocol requires 4.4.2, that's why I am asking. I just don't want to brick it.

The Moto X doesn't have 4.4.2. It has 4.4. If you're reading a root guide that references 4.4.2, it probably isn't for the Moto X. You should only use a guide/process specifically for the device you are trying to root.
You can see the software version by going to Settings > About Phone (very bottom) > Android version (4th item down).

you are going to use SlapMyMoto like everyone else but not sure what 4.2.2 camera update OTA you would use to flash back.
here is the link to the slapmymoto guide

[Q] Re-Root after auto Kit Kat update

Im getting my new ATT 32GB Moto X on Monday and after flashing my Samsung Galaxy S3 into the ground I thought I would leave the Moto X running the stock ROM for a while but rooted.
My question is, in reading some of the threads it looks like I will have to re-root after every Kit Kat update pushed out from Motorola, is this the case? Is there a method that will add root privileges back after the phone reboots from the update? Lastly, any suggestion on what root procedure is working the best?

Can we assume you bought the consumer version ? If so, looks like your SOL. Root method only works up to 4.4.
If you bought the DE veraion ? Root is straight forward as unlocking your bootloader , flashing recovery

Yes I did purchase the consumer version so it does look like I am SOL. Thanks for the quick reply.

ATM but you never know jcase might just have something up Hus sleeve, if you are still on 4.4 you can still root with slapmymoto and pawnmymoto which might break yourmoto

What is the reason we can't root xt1096 5.1 stock?

Hey there,
I am really courios why can't we root xt1096 while it is on stock 5.1
That sounds wierd to me because this is my 4th android phone already and I rooted all the priors without any problem.
I understood there was mofo and kingroot working on 5.0 , what happend with the 5.1 update?
Also, is there someone trying to make root possible for 5.1 stock?
I would like to get some answers if you guys don't mind
Thanks in advance.

The vulnerability that was used to root it in 5.0 and 4.4.4 was fixed by motorola.

If you were that concerned about root, there are options (ie: Pure Edition) that will ALWAYS have root.

Yea, but at first I didn't know that I can't root my phone. It seems to me really obvious that we can root any android phone because it is open source...
Moreover, the pure version has bigger screen than the normal xt1096 and that's the reason I didn't take pure edition.

He means the pure 2014 xt1095. The 2014 pure has the same screen size. The pure 2015 has a bigger screen.

Oh.. well, I didn't know that.
Looks like I'm screwed up because I bought the phone only 2 months ago because Motorola promises upgrades and now they just abandoned the xt1096..
Does anybody know if there is a progress trying to achieve root for 5.1 stock xt1096?

First, sorry for the double comment. Hope it's fine...
Kingroot has updated and they say they can root 5.1
I tried but with no success. Well, it failed at 23% which maybe brings hope to xt1096 users because this is the first time it lets you try to root with the app.
We currently have 832 people waiting for a root strategy but we need more people to ask them so we can be more noticable to them.
Please guys with xt1096, use kingroot and then it will fail to you. Then, choose the option that put us in the queue.
Thanks guys.
Hope soon we can get root to our abandoned phone..
