Been doing some searching on the Moto X. Two questions that I need help with ASAP.
1. Can the GSM unlocked version be put on AT&T wihtout issue?
2. Since it is the carrier unlocked version can I unlock the bootloader?
Can't find anything out there.
Also, is there still an easy root exploit out there?
I want to pick up a wood backed companion for the Nexus...
Which model?

So basically everything but band 5, if I want to use it on AT&T. That may be worth it to get an unlockable bootloader.
So I am not new at this. Owned several Nexus devices all rooted within hours of ownership. But this multiple versions is confusing the **** out of me. I am ordering the XT1053. Can I just unlocked the bootloader through Moto's site and then go through ADB and flash TWRP or CWN and install SU?

^That is what I have gathered and I am coming from the same place as you. All I am looking to use is Xposed and CandyShop(Zipthemer).

1. Yes. I currently use an at&t mvno and pick up LTE with my unlocked X.
2. Yes. You will void your warranty if you request a code though. Unless you buy the developer edition. Unfortunately the Dev ed is not available through motomaker.
Don't know about easily rooting though. This is the first android I've owned where I haven't felt the need to root yet.

wrong section for starters.
sprint doesnt use unlock codes.
they push an unlock to your phone.
they are the only carrier that uses a back door method.
how do i know?
i had to fight with sprint for weeks to get them to unlock my phone so i could use it in spain.
sprint is very difficult when it comes to this procedure. and although you may have received a confirmation unlock email from sprint, your phone may not be unlocked.
it is a hassle.
back door method ? can u elaborate ?

you talk to sprint. then they push an update to your phone.
you dont put in a code or anything.
they push the unlock to your phone.
Actually this has a builtin app to unlock the phone search it up on the general section u should see SIM unlock. U might have to dig around the tread for the instuructions.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386703 that's the thread with the video tutorial. U probably should of posted this on the Q&A section

I just installed Safestrap v3.65 on my os v 4.2.2 with no problem and have done a complete system backup with it to the Moto X's internal SD card. I'm rooted and write protection is removed.

I'm a tard I meant 4.4.2 , I thought someone figured out how to get safestrap with write protection but just wishful thinking lol

This is available for locked Verizon Moto X's still with write protect off and on the old bootloader - 4.4.2. This avoids updating the bootloader keeping write protect. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/116025-romsafestrap-unlockedxt1060-stock-rooted-vzw-164552-kitkat-442/

This is my first Moto device and I'm not familiar with how to root these. All I know is its a Moto X Verizon exclusive (pig skin edition), I know the SIM is unlocked because I'm using it on At&t. If someone could help me by shooting me the proper links to a tutorial specific to this model phone I would seriously appreciate it. Thanks.

You cannot root it or unlock its bootloader, unfortunately. In the States only the Pure Edition can be unlocked and rooted. Also, it'll likely be a VERY long time until your model gets rooted if it ever does, and if I was a betting man, I'd go all in on its bootloader never getting unlocked. In other words, learn to love it stock because that's probably how it's going to stay.

US Cellular XT1093 can be unlocked, and does Sprint have it yet? If so, it's unlockable. I prefer to say "All variants except Verizon and ATT are unlockable" rather than "Only Pure Edition can be unlocked in the US". Plus it's less words (by one lol).

You're right, my bad. I keep forgetting that USC has it too. Not sure about Sprint.
Fresh off of the presses, The LG G8 has an Android Q Beta! Beta 3 to be exact.
It is ready to go as soon as you unlock the bootloader. Also you will need to have a windows install to run the EXE.
If you dont like it you can roll back with the same app.
All Info and how to do it can be found here. LG G8 Android Q Beta
I shall be doing it as soon as I'm done with my review!

I will certainly be following this project as of right now there's too many limitations for me as this is my daily driver phone but I'm certainly going to be flashing this on my OnePlus 6T.

Unfortunately it says my device isn't supported. I guess only the Korean models are eligible.

Oh this is interesting. Which model do you have? What carrier? Did you unlock the bootloader first?

Oh well... Looks like the OEM unlock option is not only grayed out on my Verizon model. It is just nonexistant! LG still bending over for Verizon here...

I'm on Sprint but I can't even access the bootloader. Using adb reboot bootloader or the recovery menu option just makes the phone reboot normally.

Might be possible to flash Korean firmware for it but I haven't tried and would probably lose support for some bands.
The yellow warning sign in the article says it will only work with Korean phones, and the best way to ensure compatibility is to buy a phone in Korea.
I have a feeling LG will lock bootloaders on all US consumer phones for the forseeable future. I hope I'm wrong.
So no US support?
Hi I have just been gifted a note 8 which is the snapdragon model from the U.S but I'm in the UK. My device is a greatqleue, is there any root method or custom roms for this model. I don't even know if it's a Verizon, sprint or other u.s carrier and far as i can tell it's running the XAA csc and the n950U1UEU7DTC3. Hope some one can help clear some things up.

You have a locked bootloader on the SM-N950U1. No custom roms, kernels, and No TWRP recovery.
You only have root for Android Nougat! No root for Oreo or PIE!
Do a xda search for "safestrap" for putting Oreo or nougat back on using Bootloader version 7 and "Extreme Syndicate" for Nougat ROOT (it doesn't UNLOCKED bootloader)!
They're in the "Note 8 Rom section".

Wow. How come there isn't any root method for newer os and how come bootloader cant be unlocked? For this specific device
There are to many things to consider to answer the "how come" question..lol. There hasn't been an unlocked bootloader on a US Snapdragon device for many many years.

Ah, I understand! Shame really, I know of some "soft" mods that work without root like theming etc but it's a shame. And when I got the dtc3 update I noticed it's still on the March security patch instead of april?
