Yes..you need to unlock boot loader first. I could be wrong....I'm not an rsd expert. Lol. Should say on that thread...first post.
You can root without unlocking, but you're limited in what you can still do.

no you can downgrade from 4.4 to 4.2.2 with a locked bootloader. many people have done it. you just cant flash CWM or TWRP with a locked bootloader.
here check out this thread it shows two ways to flash back to 4.2.2 and even has a video you can watch hope it helps

You can not and will never be able to unlock the boot loader on a consumer Verizon variant, lesson learned. Your only hope in hell maybe? Is to run the 4.4.2 sbf firmware for Verizon only only only only only, no its not out and maybe awhile before its available

I think 4.4.2 firemware can't to save it.Because CID is wrong,can't flash anything.That sounds Bad..:crying:
maybe I substitute the CPU suite or substitute Phone main board can save it...Fixed it should spend about $135:crying::crying::crying::crying:....

Wait for the sbf firmware, if you can access the fastboot menu, it's not totally done, the sbf firmware will hopefully flash it back, you need it anyways ,even if you swap out the internals, and do not flash any other sbf firmware ,it will hard brick it

CID partition is the unlock bootloader certificate.CID parition include the factory information and Carrier information.If no this parition or partition wrong,can't unlock bootloader,and can't flash any firmware.
But on droid razr, erase this parition can flash other carrier's firmware. e.g. XT910 UK retail firmware,
Like the attached picture:
Do you find something???

In your title you put moto x gen 2. Which this thread is for moto x gen1. If the OTA bricked your phone I would guess you had miss matched partitions and probably something you did prior to the OTA. Hope it was a Dev edition since you said your bootloader was unlocked. Only Dev editions are covered by warranty with unlocked boot loader s.

can i root my moto x?

i have verizon moto x, it doesnot say dev ed on back, only verizon.
it currently runs 4.4.4
and in boot loader it says device is unlocked. status code 3.
but in "the complete moto x guides/information" thread it lists verizon moto x as unlockable.
i want to get root following the same guide.(twrp flash, su flash).
is it safe for me to do that?

Yes, if it says unlocked status code 3 you can get root via twrp, su flash

thanks, much appreciated also its alright if i flash any 5.1.1 rom( like cm12) right? ofcourse after flashing cm11

Yes, but I'm not sure the latest ones will work with the older 4.4.4 bootloader and modem. Probably would be best to upgrade it to stock lp first. Don't worry it once bootloader is unlocked it won't relock
Edit:also you don't need to flash Cm 11 first first anymore. And the safest way to upgrade to stock lp is probably via rsd

I recently installed official marshmallow 6.0 on my verizon XT1096 from other variant like xt1092 after unlocking bootloader and now I also getting same error to re lock it. I was irritating by bootloader unlocked warning screen. If anyone knows please tell me also. But anyhow I got rid from that warning screen by installing logo.bin file in fastboot. By following this link.

To be able to relock it, you must be 100% stock. For example you would have to flash back the full 5.1verizon firmware.
But there is no point in locking it. Locking it does not restore the warrany, it was voided when you unlocked it.
Also it does not make the warning bootloader unlocked message disappear. That message will only disappear if you flash a different boot logo.
Honestly, there is not much point to relocking it.

Thanks Sir, I understood the point. But one thing to ask, can I flash back the stock 5.1 factory images of XT 1095 instead of Verizon. By following the factory restore instructions. Actually I want it be 100% pure stock XT1095, just like convert it and get clean OTA of 6.0 stock without any issue.
Because when I was installing 6.0 xt1092 stock on it I got some errors
Like failed check boot & recovery
shown in image below and I am doubtful it is not 100% pure because now when I connect it to my PC it still detect it as xt1096.
I am not rooted or custom recovery.
Please sir little bit more help.

No. It has to be the xt1096 firmware to lock the bootloader.
