Is there any way to disable the boot vibration? Or at least shorten the vibration?
I searched through the forum and there were few threads requesting this but no solutions for other phones.
My X is BL unlocked XT1053 running rooted Stock 4.4.3. Thanks.
I would also like to know if this is possible. Any luck on finding a solution?

Hi, I have a sprint Moto X on 4.4. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or rooted anything because I haven't felt the need to but since 4.4.2 came out it keeps nagging me to update but I don't want to loose my chance to root so I figured now would be a good time to root it. I've looked around the forums but haven't seen a guide specifically for the Sprint Moto X root for 4.4. What is the process to root my phone? Once I do I can just disable the moto ota app and I'll stop getting the notifications to update right?
Thanks
Edit: Also, is it possible (and a good idea) to flash a stock 4.4.2 rom and keep root?
If you unlock your bootloader, rooting is simple by flashing twrp.
If you want to leave your bootloader locked, you need to use safestrap and all that other stuff. Much more work.
Its all in the stickied complete guide to Moto x. Or in the dev threads. Doesn't matter if you are sprint. You want the locked bootloader method, or unlocked method....depending what you decide.
Lots of info in the sticky in general.

I don't have a warranty on the phone so are their any cons to unlocking the bootloader?
I looked at the complete guide and it seems pretty straightforward.
My last question. Is there a way I can upgrade to stock 4.4.2 after unlocking and rooting? I don't want a rom with a bunch of changes and unneeded features.

If you unlock the bootloader, the only con is warranty. Everything else is a pro.
4.4.2 can be rooted just as simply as any other version, if your bootloader is unlocked. So the easiest thing to do is do the 4.4.2 OTA for your phone, then root after upgrading. Or flash 4.4.2 manually if the files are available yet.
Keep in mind, unlocking the bootloader will completely wipe your phone.

there is one Con like said and that is the warranty but i could care less because being able to root any version of android is a huge plus side i would really unlock your bootloader

Awesome!
Look in themes and apps section. There's a few threads with different boot screens and instructions.

Hi, I bought a moto x recently and I really don't know what is the best option to mod my phone. I have android 4.4.2 and standard moto x from Claro, and I'd like to mainly root. I'm not really interested on unlock BL, but aparently in 4.4.2 it is needed to unlock BL. I have read some guides here but I don't get it. What I shall do ? Thanks guys.
Without an unlocked bootloader, this is your only root option on 4.4.2...

And its only root. Write protection is still enabled, meaning anything you do is undone when you reboot or power off and on.
So it has a lot of limits. I don't think you can write to the system either.
Not ideal.
Yes, I was wondering on downgrading my phone, what about that ?

You will BRICK it if you try. Its well documented here. You can not downgrade safely - even with an unlocked bootloader.

Hi this is a pretty simple question but if someone could expand (if it is possible) by listing what needs to be done that'd be extremely helpful.
I read through the guides in the general section and i read that for at&t 4.4.2 the bootloader is locked and attempting to downgrade will brick my phone. So does this mean that i can't root my phone and flash roms? or can I, and if so what needs to be done before I download a toolkit and proceed? I'm on stock at&t OTA 4.4.2 firmware.
thanks for reading.

without an unlocked bootloader, your out of luck. You might be able to "safestrap," but last i heard, that isn't an option on OS 4.4.2.
You will need to unlock your bootloader to flash any roms. Unfortunately there is no official way to unlock your bootloader for an AT&T branded Moto X. Since you are on 4.4.2 safestrap is also not an option. There is currently a root method for 4.4.2, but it doesn't disable write protection. Disabling write protection is required to make any permanent changes to the system. Without that ability any changes will revert back after rebooting. This includes root since that requires modifying the system. There is an unofficial way to unlock your bootloader through a Chinese middleman that has acquired databases with unlock codes. There is no guarantee that this person will have your code and seems to only be able to acquire codes from devices assembled in 2014. The middleman is selling the codes for ~$45. The information is at the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/china-middleman-t2751177
If you want to try rooting you can try the method from the following link:

thanks for the info.
the main reason i'm trying to flash a ROM is I lost rear camera functionality just randomly. Haven't found anyone else with this issue. Can I download the 4.4.3 OTA and flash it in the stock recovery? Or will I have problems with that?

The 4.4.3 is for T-Mobile and unlocked bootloaders. If it is just your rear camera having an issue you could try a factory reset or flashing the stock ROM for AT&T for 4.4.2 using RSDLite. If that doesn't work it may be a hardware problem. You may want to try a warranty exchange.

Hello, I am a beginner
I had been search the method on the forum
But I don't know whether it is exactly work
Please help me to solve this problem:crying:
And I want to root cm13
My system version is
222.26.7.ghost-att.ATT.en.US att
You can use sunshine too unlock your bootloader, as far as i know att still didn't allowed Motorola too unlock this 3 year old device..
Friends,
I tried to do root in Moto X4, I followed XDA's own tutorials and I could not. I searched several links, some asking to download the modified boot.img, among others.
I unlocked the phone and now you have an unlock message. Can you get this message out?
Someone got root because I can not do it at all. I can root on other Motorola models, but this Moto X4 does not. Thank you for your help.
The title is misleading but can you help us help you? What model of the moto x4 do you own and what firmware are you on?

Sorry for the title, I'm new to the forum.
Moto X4 1900-6, I'm using the factory rom stock. However, yesterday I traded for US firmware, Android One, and got root success. After researching a lot, I found an article saying that it was easier to do root using the US firmware.
ok, least you have it working.
If you want to get rid of the unlocked bootloader text that appears during booting, you can just flash another boot logo
