Hey guys I just want to know if it is possible to port multirom to the moto x???? My previous Motorola Atrix 2 had something similar called boot menu manager. So is it possible to get multirom????
You'd have to talk to the dev who created it. And he would surely need a moto x. For the N7 2013 he had a kick start campaign to collect funds for the N7 2013 purchase.
With half the moto x people being out of the picture, cause they have locked bootloader.....interest may be low. Also, there's only so much to flash on a moto x.....again, interest may be low cause of that.
I'll say this, if the people that want it put a moto x in his hands (through up front donations) its very possible he would make a version for the X.
This is all assuming its even technically possible.

Maybe @Tasssadar can weigh in?
It is on my N5....amazing. I have 4 ROMs currently on it.
Personally, I think a lot prefer stock....tho I guess with multirom they may try other things and keep stock as their main ROM.

So its not possible for one of the devs of the moto x to port it themselves with his help???

Most of the devices that we use here are Bootloader locked, and would not allow flashing. As for the devs of the device, Motorola, I don't think they support the rooting scene as much as say someone like Oppo does.

Even if you safestrap you can't flash kernals(so you can't have anything like CM11, PAC, etc) only Stock based roms will work.
Stock roms:

Krypton:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/rom-krypton-v1-2-v1-3b1-6-9-2014-t2716657
I'm not sure safestrap will work if you're already on 4.4.2 or higher.
So..The thread needs to be awaken.
Since now we have unlocked bootloaders, can any dev please try porting Multirom Manager for our X? :fingers-crossed:
@Tasssadar @iKrYpToNiTe can weigh in..
I'm praying for this day to come

It can be dangerous flashing firmware meant for another phone even if the specs are similar or even identical. Each firmware is made specifically for each phone. There are a number of things that can go wrong by flashing firmware that was not made for your phone causing you to hard brick it. You need to consider partition sizes, the bootloader, and the boot image just to name a few. Replacing the boot image with one from the AHD won't guarantee the phone will boot and if it does end up booting the phone will most likely not work properly.

No no I'm not that stupid lol I'm gonna deodex this then post a link for others and I plan to build a moto x ROM but base it off Mexican retail and try to implement as many moto x features as possible
really ? you care about my signature
Don't think there's much good in this.
The main moto x features revolve around the architecture of the x8 (such as the google now feature) and the amoled display (such as the active notifications)
It has a customized snapdragon processor but the problem is that the Moto X has two additional cores for handling all of the "always running" sensors, such as the mic and gyroscope. If we did port it, our battery life would be KILLED due to these long running sensors and the lack of a low power third and fourth core.

so i have a xt1060 verizon moto x, and was gonna unlock the bootloader with sunshine, but how would i go about rooting it? i assume just installing superSU is not enough, also is there any restrictions i should know about? i sure have lots of phones i have rooted but Motorola has always been weird.

Sir..once the bootloader is unlocked, you'll need to install a custom recovery, TWRP or CWM..the stock recovery will be of no use..then with a custom recovery, you would gain Root by installing SuperSU from the custom recovery..no other restrictions that I can think of..
KEEP IN MIND..during the bootloader unlock process..your device storage will be erased, you will loose personal data..back up your data FIRST..

I use stock ROM's only..maybe Debloated..but mostly stock..don't have the time to fool with all the "crap" with a custom ROM..anyhow..if the ROM is for a XT1060..then I would certainly think you'd be OK..but as I said..stock for me only, I use to flash a lot of ROM's but was always battling some function that didn't function..and realized, I was not enjoying my devices..So I swore OFF custom ROM's..now I do mostly testing for Dev's and so on..
BTW..I own a XT1060 Moto X Developer Edition..but if your bootloader is unlocked, then your device would be likened to a DEV Edition, except for the logo and white back shell (back panel)..
I use TWRP only..If CWM is a must for you, then their site should have what you need, or here in XDA..BE SURE the custom recovery version is for the Moto X "ghost"..no other will install/work properly..the code name for Moto X is "ghost"..so any recovery MUST be developed for your " ghost" device..there are TWRP versions that is developed for the Moto X "ghost" and the "obake" Droid Maxx and Ultra..same version works with all three code names..DON'T KNOW about CWM..

i infact did look at that like 5 times before each time i get excited about moto x news, its really not updated and what i mean is it only says people on 4.4.4 with locked bootloaders cant unlock their bootloader and root the devices, sure theres a link for CWM but it also does not say how to install it.

People on 4.4.4 can't root with a locked boot loader is what it says. And that remains true. It doesn't say you can't unlock the boot loader though. No where does it say that. It's a thread with a collection of root methods....it's not about unlocking.
And cmw is also not mentioned, it may be in a thread that is linked to in the one stop shop, but not in the root thread itself.
Just wanted to be clear, as far as rooting goes....it's completely up to date. Read it a little more carefully. ?
If anything changes with root methods, it will be updated. A link to a Sunshine guide will be included as well, if there is one made. If there already is, I've missed it. A member said he was making one, but I haven't seen it yet.
And if anything that thread links to is out of date, the maintainer of those threads should be notified. ?

Yes. I know all about that.
But you said the one stop shop root thread is out dated.....and my friend, it is not.
Once your boot loader is unlocked, it's no different than any unlocked X...which is covered in the first section of the One Stop Shop.
How you unlock is irrelevant to the rooting thread I thought we were discussing.
Someone said he was making a Sunshine tutorial thread. If that ever happens, I will mention it in the Root thread. ?
Until then, it's not in there cause there is no clear, straight forward thread on it.
---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------
And again...all the One Stop Shop says about Rooting 4.4.4 is that you can't with a locked bootloader, and again...that is 100% accurate. ?

Root is almost available for the DT but BL unlock is not guaranteed yet so no one can say if DT owners (like myself) will even be able to flash anything. Good question though.

Were those turbos XT1250s? Because nothing has been shown about someone working on BL unlock for the DT (XT1254)......yet. but ofc the XT1250s are already unlocked but not the XT1254s which is the model I believe he was asking about.

Probably not this simple, but if we get root maybe the bootloader from one of these prototypes can be copied to a turbo using a dd command. Then we would all have unlocked bootloaders

That would not work because it is not signed by moto. The ONLY things that matter are: 1) Signed vs unsigned packages and 2) bootloader exploits. Some BL exploits require root, most do now since they have gotten advanced. I miss the days of hardware level exploits and stuff. No more though. Root will likely be needed for a BL unlock and I would assume once root drops people will start working on one. Jcase has unlocked many motos and I would assume he will work on one when he has time (he is sick and very busy).
So root will not allow a BL unlock by itself. I am not even sure if this root exploit removes /system write protection. Some don't. We just have to wait and see.
I was busy last week, but if there will be BL unlock for Verizon Droid Turbo, then I'll make the CM12 / CM12.1 universal.

If you dump the package yourself I would imagine it would no longer have the same check sum no? Jcase has said this about many devices and then out of nowhere released exploits. I am not asking him to, I am just saying he enjoys doing this and is really, really good at it. I can see him collaborating with the root author to develop a proper exploit if it does not already exist. Either way, this root probably won't be released for another few weeks, if ever.

No, if you dump the bootloader yourself, it will be signed with the exact same certificates as when it was compiled. As a quick demonstration, take a device (not the Turbo) and download a custom kernel for it.
Check (and make note of) the MD5 checksum. Then install it.
Boot it once or twice, messing around with it. Then dump it (via
Code:
dd if="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot" of="/sdcard/boot.img"
) and compare the MD5 of your dumped image to that of the one that had not yet been installed. Zero difference.
New root method found for 2014 moto x for at. Maybe it can be modified to work with droid turbo and get us wp off?!
Same method as mofo --- no wp-off
No bueno
At least its free tho
Someone could make a free version of mofo if they wanted. Personally, I wouldn't, purely out of respect.
Someone care to post the link for root on the x2 2014?
All I find is the lollipop root achieved but that is for an unlocked boot only.

Right crashxxl original moto x
I built this ROM as a test for those who have locked bootloaders on the Tab S and can't get root.
In my experience Samsung bootloader locked devices will not allow a custom kernel or recovery to be installed. However it is possible that the bootloader will allow a modified rom to be installed.
The rom is bone stock Lollipop 5.0.2 except it is pre-rooted with SuperSU 2.49. It needs to be installed via ODIN. If ODIN allows it to flash then its highly likely it will boot just fine.
If there are any issues that arise then all that is required is to flash the stock firmware, available here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T707V/

If anyone gives this a shot, please report with details.

If it works for the T707v then I'll do the same for the other Bootloader locked devices. It all depends on whether ODIN will flash it or not.
The reason I have used the T707v is because this device at least has the stock firmware available, so it should be relatively safe to try this.
Not many wanting a rooted t707v then.

It seems the US LTE variants were not very popular, T807T does not have a lot of use either.

Seems so, would have done it for the att and other Verizon model if it worked. Wouldn't want to test it out on an att model first with no stock firmware available.
@deadman96385
Anyway I could do to pick your brains about something.
Am I right in thinking you have a Tab A?

I do have one, what's up?
I don't believe Odin allows modified system images to flash on bootloader-locked devices.
I tried on my Verizon S5, it shouldn't work, but let's see anyways
I have one and I'll try it but I'm out of town for work right now won't be home to try it until the 24th. Would be awesome if it works.

It does, it depends on the device's bootloader.
Plenty have been rooted or modified this way.

Exactly why I said let's see anyways
It's just that the S5 and Tab S are so similar in so many ways and were release at the same time on VZW, that I thought they'd have the same locks.

What do you mean you ran it and did nothing at all? It doesn't unlock the bootloader.
Its the stock OS already rooted.
Did it install successfully with ODIN?
What is the state of root when checked with Root validator?
We need screenshots if possible please.

One hit wonder, very helpful...
I have the 807V and am watching this thread very closely. Too bad that other guy didn't provide any info.

Exactly, if he'd have only took the time to at least let us know if it installed OK with odin. It seems like it did which means that he should also have had root.
Not sure what he was expecting to see?
