[Q] Moto X XT1052 Root And CM11 - Moto X Q&A

Hello Devs and Wish you all a good day.I recently bought a moto x ( EUROPEAN , XT1052 ) which I wish to root and xpose ( or even flash cm11 ). AFAIK , the moto x can be only rooted after unlocking the bootloader and then flashing supersu via a suitable recovery. I know and have understood the process of rooting which follows :
Unlocking the bootloader via motorola site and Android SDK using the unlock key.
Flashing a custom recovery via fastboot ( TWRP or CWM ) and then flashing supersu.zip to root .
What bothers me is that the model which I am using has been recently introduced and I have little to no knowledge about the same . Therefore , I just wanted to make sure whether the process of rooting is correct ( which i posted ). Also , since all i can see in the threads is " Unified " will the official CM11 builds work for my device ? Can anyone please Point out or mention the correct CM11 official M6 build for my device ? It would be greatly appreciated if anyone replied or helped me . Thanks a lot for the time and Please Help .
Cheers !

The root process is same as you mentioned.
Unified means for all variants, so you can flash it without problems.
AND CM11 M6 has not been released as the speaker phone issue has still not been ironed out

Unlocked,Rooted, Flashed TWRP and now moto G XT1068 boots like snail

I have rooted my phone using the all in one guide for moto G2014. The only problem that I have is that booting time has increased by increase it means a lot. ROM is stock just unlocked and rooted and twrp flash. Any solution to solve this ? Because I doubt flashing another ROM won't be of much help .
Problem solved by flashing a new rom . I flashed AOSP 5.1.1

Need help with Moto G 2014 XT1064 and 5.0.2 root and no wifi

So after upgrading to 5.0.2 I attempted to root my phone which killed the wifi.
Seems this is something to do with the boot.img
After attempting different things to correct the issue my phone got bricked and had to be sent to Moto
Now I just got it back and want to make sure not to brick it again. I have read a bunch of different threads and some have firmware that is no longer available or files that others say not to use
Can anyone please point me to instructions that still work today on how to root the XT1064 and have wifi working with latest OTA 5.0.2?
Thanks

Where was your problem? Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 through fastboot ( fastboot flash recovery "name of the recovery" ) and flash latest superSU 2.4.6.
There are a lot of threads about it here on xda, check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58913714 If you follow the instructions exactly there should not be any issue according WiFi.

Now I think that I am on the way to hardbrick my moto xt1068. cause, I checked the bootloader version everytime I flashed, first I was on cm12.1 [BL v48.82], so I flashed the stock 5.0.2 with stagefright in order to update to indian MM [Then BL was v48.83], now when I updated to Indian MM [BL was on v48.86].
But I again wanted to go on cm, so flashed the TWRP, then flashed xperiaZ5G rom[Android v5.1.1], and checked the BL [was on same v48.86 ].
Now i wanna know that if flash stock 5.0.2 on v48.86 BL will that hardbrick?
and if is there any failproof method to flash LP roms or stock LP without causing hardbrick, what're those?
Thank You.

Hi
Just make sure you're not downgrading your bootloader.. Don't include gpt.img and motoboot.img while flashing the 5.0.2. And after that never install update via OTA.

So if something goes wrong, I can still flash stock, but excluding gpt.bin and motoboot.img (will that work?)
and I can still flash custom recoveries, roms, etc. right?

Yep, just make sure you're not downgrading your bootloader and don't update your phone via OTA and you'll be fine.

To Install a Custom Rom Safely, Plzz Help ... :D

Hi,
I own a Motorola Moto g2 (2014) Indian Version, 16 gb and i am running a stock firmware 5.0.2, rooted and bootloader unlocked. and i want to install a Custom ROM, So i went on to Youtube and find out how to unlock the bootloader and install Super SU.
After that i came to know about this site, and thought of flashing CM 13, and so in order to do that it was required to update bootloader, since it won't work on bootloader 4.4
So, i followed the instructions clearly and updated the bootloader and the TWRP Recovery , Both are successfull.
Now comes the problem part for me:
So when i browsed the xda developers site in the moto g 2014 thread , i came across this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/6-0official-indian-ota-zip-captured-t3299550
It said
So to everyone here. After updating to 6.0 I don't think it's a good idea to downgrade to 5.0.2 and update it with stagefright update over the air.
I made it and it hardbricked my phone.
5.0.2 bootloader version is 48.83
6.0 bootloader version is 48.86
So, don't downgrade your bootloader, it can cause hardbrick!
so, i got afraid, since i am going to install cm 13 nightly which is unstable and the bootloader already updated, will i be having problems when i restore it back to stock 5.0.2
and would it be safe if i installed cm 12.1 after updating the booloader or will it hard brick my phone. (since cm 12.1 is stable version compared to cm 13)
P.S Can someone post a link on how to backup before installing the Custom ROM, since i always see this step:
that is to make a backup using TWRP and then use advanced wipe to wipe the device, the only question is won't the adavanced wipe deletes the backup folder ?
And Is there any stable ROMS for moto g that runs marshmallow, + is it possible to install multi ROM twrp and Install CM 13 Along with the Stock Android

[Q]Need help getting root with 6.0 on XT1064

I just updated to 6.0 via official OTA on my XT1064
Bootloader is locked currently and everything is stock
I know I have to unlock the boostloader first but has anyone found clear instructions that they tested on the XT1064 to get root with the 6.0 update?
I found plenty of threads but they mix instructions for various models and versions of android
Im looking specifically for XT1064 and stock 6.0
I bricked my device already once previously and another time the rooting via boot.img caused wifi to stop working
I am not willing to use my device as a test subject anymore.
Anyone who has been able to root stock 6.0 on the XT1064 please help and simply point me to what worked for you
Thank you
