[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

Requirements for flashing a custom ROM on a locked VzW Moto X

Hi, I an debating buying a consumer Moto X on Verizon.
My question is this:
Is it possible to flash a custom ROM with a locked Moto X?
If so, what is required/which ROMs are compatible?
I am familiar with safestrap (coming from the droid RAZR), as well as flashing ROMs in general.
Thanks!

Don't buy a consumer version , there's no safestrap ROMs , also gaining root on 4.4.2 may never happen. I suggest you buy a developer edition and unlock the bootloader.
Unlocking the DE will not void the warranty.

Unfortunately, that is not within my budget. Is it possible to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 and go from there?

No, you can't downgrade from 4.4.2 to any earlier firmware, try swapa for a slightly used one . if root and flashing ROMs and your budget won't allow you to pick up a DE , then maybe the moto x is not for you

It is totally possible, but you'll have to unlock your bootloader, on 4.4.2 there's no way of rooting without doing it

This ^^^^
If you can unlock your bootloader, your set! If you can't, not happening. Sorry.
You can try the Chinese fellow who is selling unlock codes, if yours can't be at moto site. 45 dollars. If your phone is on his list.
Good luck!

Thank yall. Ill see what i can do :good:

Newbie here, want 5.1.1 on my Verizon moto X

Hey everyone, I'm sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'm very new to the whole rom-switching and phone-rooting world.
I have a Verizon Moto X (I believe it's XT1060) with stock everything. I am absolutely sick of waiting for Verizon to release the update to 5.1.1. So, I want to do it myself, but I still want it to be Motorola's version of Android. Can someone please give me a step by step guide on how to do so? Thanks!

Are you in 4.4.4? If so, your are SOL.
