Ok I have a rooted verizon DE moto x. It just popped up to update to 4.4.4. I was wondering if anyone has just updated there's while rooted and how it went. I don't won't to let it update and soft brick my phone bc I'm not where I can do anything about it for a few days. I would think it would be ok seeing it's a DE unlocked boot loader. Any help is gr8 thanks

First, questions belong in Q&A - not General - please post to the correct forums.
Additionally, please search. You can find all the information you are requesting in any one of these threads of the same exact topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/4-4-2-4-4-4-vrzn-rooted-t2831132
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/vzw-ota-4-4-4-problem-t2834435
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/getting-error-updating-moto-x-dev-t2835144
Good Luck :good:
If you're on stock recovery, with no stock apps disabled by titanium, and without xposed installed (or at least disabled), it will work. I was stock rooted on my dev edition vzw with stock recovery and the ota installed no problem.
That said... Just wait until you get home. The update is very small stuff and isn't worth being phoneless for days over.
As mentioned above questions should be posted in Q&A not general and there is already threads which this question has been asked and answered. Please use them instead of creating a new thread. Thanks

No, the very first step is using moto dev to unlock the bootloader, ATT models aren't allowed by Moto Dev
Wrong section my friend. This should go in Q&A section. I'm sure it will get moved, but just wanted to let you know for future reference.
OP please read the Forum Rules on posting.....Thread Closed.
Hey everyone,
Purchased Moto X yesterday. Tried rooting it today with no luck after trying many different methods/watching videos. Each time I tried to install a Moto root app it was unsuccessful. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

What version is it running? Mine had 4.2 on it when I got it a few weeks ago and I used the "SlapMyMoto" method which worked very well.

Running 4.4...do you have a link?

Here is a link... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538896
EDIT: If you have read any of the guides for rooting the Moto X, it IS pretty explanatory in terms of saying you must be on 4.2.2, and if you're on 4.4, you must downgrade. Carry on with the following...
I mean, let's all be civil about the whole situation. Long story short, OP, if you're on 4.4, you have to downgrade to 4.2.2 camera update (not the original 4.2.2, but the camera update version of 4.2.2) and then do the rooting, and then upgrade back to 4.4. I'm assuming because you're not able to get root apps to run or get the process to work, you must be on 4.4. If you're on 4.2.2, post what issue you're having in the respected forum for it. Or try searching that particular error via google or the site, and see what comes up. Chances are, others have had the same issue as you and have found out what works and what doesn't.
lets make this real simple for everyone here no more flaming and here is a guide for rooting 4.4 and it also links to all the other guides

I know this is not the Q&A thread. Don't shoot me. But i figured this was a dev question. Does anybody think or have tried flashing the stock droid ultra ROM to the moto x since they are VERY SIMILAR phones? Is it possible? Can it be done? Has anybody tried? If not and I was to try it do you think I can flash stock moto x IMG files back to normal? Or will i fubar my bootloader. Running Moto x Dev edit Verizon. These are questions that have been running through my head. Just thought I might ask. And is anybody willing to help me look into it? Thank you for taking the time to read and reply.

Very similar is never close enough. Any ROM for a different phone will not work for a different device. Some exploit methods work on multiple devices but never Roms and kernals.

I only asked cause if cm11 pac-rom etc could do it maybe we could. Thanks for answering though. It was worth a shot. I just miss my droid ultra?
They are the same phone in almost every way and yes the builds are compatible, or at least the 4.2.2 and 4.4 builds were last year. When the leaked T-Mobile 4.4 build came out, I was running it perfect on my vzw moto x DE and at least one other person was running it on their droid ultra/maxx with no issues.
So your question for the devs was just answered by non devs. If you KNEW you were posting in the wrong thread, but wanted to make sure you got noticed please follow the rules next time. It's not like you didn't know this does not belong here.
Only try this if you have an unlocked boot loader. If you are locked then you are out of luck. Still recommend finding a build for your phone.

i posted here thinking maybe devs have already tried it and/or have a workaround for it. i'm not going to start a fight with you over the internet cause thats just petty.
Moved here as this does not belong in the Development Section, OP please read the Forum Rules on posting.
Hey everyone,
First, yes I have searched for this
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/one-stop-shop-how-root-moto-x-confusion-t2826159 as well as everything else I find still tells me that there is currently no way to root a 4.4.4 Moto X
Doing some searching on google I found this method that claims to work and it was just published about a month ago...
http://www.igadgetsworld.com/moto-x...unning-on-android-4-4-4-step-by-step-process/
I am however a little weary about the fact that still nobody on here seems to have a solution? Is this a method that will work or is it just going to brick my phone?
Sorry I am not the most knowledgeable about this stuff but have you guys seen this?
Mine is a VZW version that I am trying to root.

Those on 444 with the old X & Ultras are waiting for jcase & others to come up with some way to get Dan Rosenberg's exploit to work. Jcase said so far root is needed.
So root alone or temporary root to unlock the boot are yet to be found.

Thanks for pointing me to that thread I will keep an eye on it. However I still don't fully understand what is this method I have linked to then?
In short this will not work? Sorry I feel a little ignorant asking these questions...
wrong place
Well I have to admit my mistake. I've just realized this was supposed to be posted in the original moto x section as opposed to the moto x 2014.
Can somebody please move this for me? Sorry for any confusion this may have caused...

The method you linked is enabled by an unlocked boot! All unlocked bootloaders have easy root.
Im by no means new to the rooting community, but I'm drawing a blank on finding the information I need. Maybe just having a blind day lol.
But is there anyway to root the AT&T Galaxy S5 on Lollipop?

This has been asked and answered SEVERAL TIMES in SEVERAL THREADS. If you are on G900A and took the OTA to 5.0 you are screwed, no root and no downgrade. If you are on G870A (S5 Active) then you can downgrade, root, and reupgrade with keep root through muniz_ri method or flash a custom ROM like TMS5 or Alliance. I'm feeling the need to make a Lollipop 5.0 Q&A thread so new threads asking week old questions can stop cluttering up the forums.
Well since this post has obviously butthurt someone will a mod please delete. Thanks.

Not trying to be an azzhole but there is a search function for a reason...if you had done a search for your question you would've answered it by reading within a couple mins.
If Someone know if theres someone working on Root for S5 G900A?
If so, changelog or something that tell us how the process is going?
