I assume jcase the creator did and it didn't work. He found another root exploit but isn't going to release it.
I wanna try. Will it mess my phone up?

no, that vulnerability has been patched, so if something you'll test your phone againsts that vulnerability and you'll fail (so you won't mess anything up)
Really sucks he wont help us out with 4.4. Being a family guy with a career...I understand. But damn...would love root on this thing

I hope I'm not jumping the gun here, I did a while back and jcasr corrected me. But, if you read the bounty thread in the general section, he's 99.5% sure that he has figured out how to root 4.4 (may only be att though) without burning up an additional exploit... He is working on it and said he will release it when he gets a copy of the att ota.
Moto X rocking 4.4

Where's the development?

I was thinking about getting a Moto X due to having an mf3 locked down bootloader. However, it looks like the development is completely dead for this device. Is the bootloader completely locked down for the AT&T version? Just wondering why these forums are so dead. What about rooting with 4.4.2? Thanks

They're dead because the stock software is just that good. There is no real need to hack it up because it's fine as it is.
That's what I figured.. Is there any problems with rooting 4.2.2?

Use RockMyMoto for 4.2.2. Use SlapMyMoto if going to 4.4.
So with the new 4.4.2 slap my Moto works perfectly rooting the phone?

Yes, but he's asking about root. If he's flashing 4.4.2 ROMs, he's already rooted and it's a moot point.

Easiest way to tether on Verizon?

Install Xposed Framework and download and install the Moto Teather module.
While your at it, I'd install Gravity Box too. Pretty awesome tweaks.

I have been successful using used the wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
change device profile to galaxy nexus (cdma/lte)
check box: wifi-driver reload
check box: enabled routing fix
If you have troubles, its also suggested to...
check box: wifi-driver reload 2
(per -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449534 )
I had been using on 4.4, but its working on 4.4.2 also.

thanks mate, but i think that only can works on KK4.4.4 not 4.4.2
If it doesn't work 4.4.2.... Then it doesn't work. Talk to the developer of the app. No one can help you here. ?

[Q] sunshine app

Has anyone tried the sunshine app on the new moto x? Mainly asking Verizon users. Thinking about trying it because it does clearly say it will work on some 4.4.4 devices.

Not yet, they just recently added Moto G, supposedly they are currently working on Moto X 2014
There is support for first gen moto x but the website and the thread you directed me to makes no mention of the 2gen. moto x.
It says it MAY work on some 4.4.4 devices and to go ahead and try but I don't want to break anything. I'll let someone else be the guinea pig.

I just tried the app to see the error message. Answer is no..you have to at least be rooted for the app to have a chance. Right now there is no root method for this device :/

It doesn't work on 2014 X. The "some 4.4.4 devices" it worked on previously had root and lost it (that I can tell).
