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

idk what you did to cause this but just boot into fastboot and flash the factory dev images to the phone and it should boot fine.

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???

[Q] Install ROM without installing root

So I have an unlockable bootloader XT1058. Currently running 4.4.2 I wanted to root, but have read rooting includes downgrading and doing things I'm not too comfortable in doing (image flashing has claimed one of my phones before). So I was thinking, installing CWM or TWRP looks actually simpler than rooting the phone. I really don't care about losing data on the phone, but would like to do a nandroid before installing a custom ROM. So the question is: can I Install custom recovery, do a nandroid and flash custom ROM without first rooting?

Return it for a developer edition moto , cause you're never ever going to be able the flash custom recovery with a locked boot loader

Did you read at all?? I have an UNLOCKABLE bootloader.. Not locked...

Nice temper ya got there.
Technically ...an unlockable boot loader would mean you have the only Moto x in existence that has a boot loader incapable of being locked. Ever. Lol
Also....did you read at all? If you mean to say your boot loader is unlocked, then flashing a custom recovery and rooting is the easiest thing in the world to do. And the info on doing it is all over the Moto x forums.......but.....you'd have to read. it's no different than doing it on a nexus. Just a hint.

You change it from locked to unlocked, so unlock it flash recovery and you can do what ever you want from there
Rooting is up to you but most people root , you don't need to
Yes I would suggest doing a nandroid prior to rooting of the stock system img

Sorry for the response, I'm on the phone and didn't really measure my response.. The thing I wanted to know is if my bootloader is unlocked, can I install custom recovery and do a nandroid without first having root or is root necessary to install custom recovery and backup?

Root is not required. Unlock bootloader, mfastboot flash recovery, boot into recovery and you can nondroid back up.

Never have I flashed a custom recovery and not immediately rooted after. So try it. It'll work or it won't. LOL
Why not root? Its simple. Twrp will do it for you even.

OK thanks. I just read somewhere that to do the nandroid you had to have root since you could not access certain directories... I've had Nexus phones for the last 3 phones so I'm not used to all this knieving and shady proceedings to install root and ROMs

An unlocked Moto x is no different than a nexus at all. As far as rooting and installing roms.
Except maybe backward compatibility. My N7 today I flashed the 4.2.2 bootloader....from kit kat and flashed a 4.2.2 rom after. That won't work on an x.
But as long as you're not trying to go back in versions....the procedure for the x and a nexus are nearly identical. Unlocked bootloader x's of course.

[Q] Is there a Root for Moto X XT1096 ???

I was just referred to this site for guidance on rooting my Verizon XT1096 (Moto X 2014) running Lollipop 5.0. I understand there was a problem with the locked bootloader on this particular device that has been preventing root access. Is this still the problem? Is root still not being achieved? And also, how can I determine if my device has a locked bootloader?
Thanks :angel:
Reboot into fastboot menu it will tell you if its unlocked
There is no root for the Verizon version.
Your phone has a locked bootloader, and unfortunately there is no root for it either. Sorry to say, but you are stuck with a stock phone.
