You do realize that is for sim-unlock, right? Has absolutely nothing to do with bootloader.
Verizon X's are already sim-unlocked....

How come people aren't talking about this? Would I be able to root if the bootloader is unlocked?

The popular carriers like AT&T and VZW don't allow it - so that prevents a large group from doing it.
Cause most carrier phones don't have their option to unlock the boot loader. But yes if you do unluck the boot loader you can root. But you can also root without unlocking thanks to jcase's pwnmymoto root method.

Most people aren't talking about it because I guess they figure you know whether or not you bought a phone that could be unlocked. If you are bootloader unlocked then yes - you just flash su.zip in cwm or twrp and you are good to go.
So if you are on Sprint or T-mobile, US Cellular or international go for it.
Unlocking the bootloader voids warranties as well...doing it through the website makes that void permanent whereas if you did it without the website you can still have your phone go through the warranty process as long as you unroot and relock the bootloader. that's what i love about the nexus devices
Ugh!!!
Glad I ran into this. I was going through the process to unlock my XT1080M on the site...looks like I'm waiting for the non-Chinese path.

There's no 'non Chinese' path for Verizon phones. Unless you have a developer edition

While this may be true for Nexus devices, it doesn't apply to the Moto X.
The Moto X bootloader has 3 states:
Locked, Unlocked, and Re-Locked
Once you have unlocked, if you subsequently re-lock, the status changes to "Re-Locked". You can NEVER get it back to "Locked". So regardless of whether you get your code from the official Moto Unlock site or the Middleman, they still know that you had unlocked previously. There is no way around this...

Exactly! I'm not sure what he is waiting for. An BL unlock exploit to come along? Dan Rosenburg (author of the Razr M Bootloader exploit) has said himself that it is extremely unlikely that a new Moto BL unlock exploit will EVER come along.
@Radio2006 : The "china" method could end tomorrow. It is 99.999% sure to be the ONLY way you will ever get unlocked. If being unlocked is important you, I would urge you not to wait.
Its China method quick, before it ends again....maybe for good....
Or it won't happen. The bootloader won't be "cracked". If it could be, it would be by now.
I'd get in on the China method, or accept a life of no proper root for your device. And no developer made updates after the X stops getting official updates.

Hey, gee thanks guys. I didn't know that. The China method has already shut down according to an XDA post that I read earlier. So I was hoping that something would occur later.

It closed earlier this year, then reopened a couple months later. It is still available now. Find the thread titled "China Middleman Back?" Thread.
Good luck!
You rock bro...just sent the payment. Thanks again.

Nope. Lots of moto x variations can be unlocked. And they all can do anything a dev edition can do, except keep their warranty.
I just received an xt1053 with 4.4.3 and I can't seem to find a way to root this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you not read anything in the TowelPieRoot thread? The answer to why you can't get root to stick is in that thread. The answer to your question is unlock your bootloader.
Yup I sure did read the whole thread anyway I got it to work without unlock haha thanks anyway I guess
Hello i have a Moto X 2 gen 2014. I would like to relock my bootloader. How do i do that. ??

Why do you want to do that? The device will show locked status code 2 not locked status code 0 and it won't restore your warranty if you voided it by unlocking it.
Cant i go 100% back to stock?

You can get back to stock software. But relocking back to status 0 is not possible as was mentioned. Relocking the bootloader has no purpose anyway, so I would just forget about it if I were you.

With an unencrypted device, you could justify it for security reasons. The command is fastboot oem lock. You should've been able to find that without asking.
But otherwise, yeah it's pointless to relock.

You have to get that straightened out with Motorola. Call and ask to be transferred to the US call center, but this has to be done M-F during business hours.

Pretty sure it warned me that it would happen while unlocking... I could be wrong.

That is a generic warning. The warranty for the pure edition is not voided by unlocking the bootloader. But you have to get it straightened out by speaking to someone in the US, not the foreigners.
Even though the message is there, Motorola still honors the warranty on the pure editions.

Hiya,
Just rooted my Turbo, but I seem to not have RW permissions on the system file. Is this normal? Is there a work around or fix?
Thanks,
NJ
As long as the bootloader remains locked its read only.
Ahhh. OK. Thanks. I am presuming that the bootloader has not been successfully unlocked yet?

Correct.
Hey does anyone know if or when the moto x 2014 will get its bootloader officially unlocked by Motorola. Was researching on the site and it seems as though Verizon models are getting their bootloaders officially unlocked. Since they said the carrier models aren't getting marshmallow they could at least unlock our bootloaders so wencan get root and flash some roms. Or if anyone knows how to get it done unofficially..... I'm all ears. Thanks
I'm unlocked on Verizon, but att I don't know if or when. If you haven't upgraded above 5.0 you can root with mofo and unlock with sunshine.

That's the thing, motorola never announced that verizon got it. It just magically started to work when someone tried to unlock his bootloader then they told all of us. There is no way to know if it will ever be able to be unlocked. But everyone can keep trying, maybe one day it will work.

Don't know of a way outside of unlock code from moto then. If you can gain root (at least temp root) sunshine will still unlock it. But haven't seen anybody figure it out yet for 5.1. Maybe keep an eye on kingroot see if they've got it yet.

I've tried this already almost 20 times. Rooting via king Root won't get past 56% every time. Getting failure again and again and again.

Clear the cache of the app after it fails. Read the thread. It is random how it works...but it does.
