Just wondering how long we may have to wait for a Root. Just some small tweaks I'm dying to make.
Until someone gets a phone. Deliveries begin tomorrow.

I don't think we will have to wait very long... The bootloader is so easily unlockable that I'm sure we will see the Pure Edition getting a root within the next few days. Hopefully.. mine came in today and I'm dying to get some xposed modules on it.

Indeed! If you pre-ordered on day one, you should have it. Unless FedEx didn't do their job (which is likely.)

I suppose not EVERYONE would have it yet then.. I have mine though!! (Just excited, been waiting since this thing leaked..)
Some seemed to have root, if you are willing to unlock the bootloader, install the experimental CWM, and flash the latest SuperSU beta.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/moto-x-2014-dump-t2868250/post55628034
Not a real issue if you have the pure edition (as far as I know unlocking the bootloader on the pure edition does not void your warranty). But currently I can't find the working CWM.
If people are looking for root w/o unlocking the bootloader then I think we will need more time.
My Pure Edition arrived around noon today (the 24th).
Unlocked the bootloader, then I installed the test version of CWM, then I installed SuperSU
Launched SuperSU app and it seemed to work so I went ahead and went crazy...
Currently rocking a device with all my apps & data (thanks Titanium Backup!) and with a few UI tweaks (thanks Xposed and GravityBox!)
I can vouch it is all working 100% and is safe if you can follow instructions. Everything I needed was in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/help/moto-x-2014-dump-t2868250 Test version #8 of CWM is the one you want; page 9 I believe. Post #99 is the instructions I followed, worked like a charm.

edit: do I need to flash CWM or can I just "fastboot boot recovery.img" and flash SuperSU?

Just saw your edit. Not sure, I went ahead and just flashed it. I'm just going to leave it there until somebody ports TWRP to the new X (probably only a matter of days). Never tried just booting it - should maybe work; but again, can't say for sure.

If you can get it to me somehow, I will post it somewhere that bandwidth quotas will not be an issue. Please do share it, I think there's alot of us (me included) that got their X's early, and have them ready to go with an unlocked bootloader, just waiting to root. Thanks!

I just rooted without flashing CWM using
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
where recovery.img is the CWM Test-8 file, and sideloading the 2.02 version of SuperSU. Rebooted from CWM and chose to fix root, now I have root. Took all of 30 seconds to do.

I am currently not rooted but I have Twrp installed and bootloader unlocked!
If being rooted is a big thing for you now (there really is no need to be just yet), When I had my G Watch, there was a toolkit over there that did all 3 things for you. The dev claims its for G Watch only, but a reply was posted that someone had success on the Live as well, which I dont see why that would be an issue considering its the same OS on both..
If you want to be the test person...feel free !!

How did you?
Sent from a Galaxy 5 light years away
it was alittle confusing (well the twrp terminal part) but these are the steps he gave me:
Install TWRP, use that to root your device. Then remove the /System/app/Superuser.apk.
Boot into TWRP
Mount the system
Use the TWRP terminal emulator
rm /system/app/SuperSU.apk
I went into TWRP, mounted the system, and went to reboot the watch, at which point it said that I was not rooted and asked me to install Superuser...I clicked yes, then rebooted and let it settle
Went back to TWRP, made sure system was still mounted, and used the built in file manager (I really had no idea how to use the TWRP terminal since there was no way to input the rm command on the watch itself) to manually remove the Superuser.apk.
I randomly noticed today that there is a firmware update available for this tab via Kies-- not sure yet what the changes are yet but the upgrade seemed to go smoothly.
I saved the image, extracted the recovery.img and root.img, and posted for Chainfire here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57390437&postcount=690
I'm crossing my fingers hoping he will able able to provide support for this tablet! Being able to get past the kitkat SD card restrictions would be great.
The new version is T807VVRU1ANK1. Kernel version is 3.4.0. I'm not sure if that changed.
thanks for posting this to chainfire, i have this tablet and have been waiting for root!
how long does it usually take assuming they started working on it immediately?

Depending on how well someone can port it. Since cfautoroot is just a custom recovery that installs root. Anyway does this device have unlocked bootloaders?

You have to extract them from a firmware image. Since they're not yet available for download from sammobile.com, you have to wait for a firmware update via Kies. After you follow the prompts to update, follow these instructions to save the firmware: http://androidforums.com/threads/how-to-backup-firmware-from-kies-upgrade-process.458795/
Once you've save the firmware image you can easily extract the files he needs.

If you are using the factory image, you can do it with the stock. Haven't done it using ota image so not sure about it.
I found that you can use kingroot to root the factory test firmware for the SM-S903VL
This is the only root method I know and I belive it is the first for the SM-S903VL
The factory firmware has drawbacks, no text calling or downloads or play store.
If anyone can find a way to make this better and actually be able to use the play store phone and texting let us know.
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU DO THIS
Downgrade and root files found on my drive...
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4954IfsDiYKendnaWN1cGZ2Snc
Use odin to flash and Kingroot to root, may take a few tries.
If you are done and need to flash back to stock firmware flash these files with odin...

I flashed a custom recovery used from one of the other S5 phones but it kept booting into a page that said take it to a Verizon employee. I assume that's because of the bootloader being locked. I installed Flashify with an apk and used that to flash.

I used Flashify to flash a custom recovery image, TWRP. It worked but the device wouldn't boot into the recovery image or even back into the operating system anymore. It went straight to a page telling me to take my phone to Verizon store so Verizon could fix my phone. I tripped something.
I just opened Odin and reflashed 4.4.2 and kept messing around, that fixed my phone.
Sorry, didn't mean to get your hopes up.

I used Flashify to flash a custom recovery image, TWRP. It worked but the device wouldn't boot into the recovery image or even back into the operating system anymore. It went straight to a page telling me to take my phone to Verizon store so Verizon could fix my phone. I tripped something.
I just opened Odin and reflashed 4.4.2 and kept messing around, that fixed my phone.
Sorry, didn't mean to get your hopes up.

aw poop, seems we need someone to make a safestrap or bootloader unlock method.. I wish we didn't have to fight to get root and recovery control...

I think you finding this method mentioned in this thread on the original post is a real winner. I think it might be the answer for someone to come in and start developing. *fingers crossed*

Hopefully... It took forever to find the firmware files and I only just happened to investigate the factory test files and noticed it was 4.4.2 and decided to try out different one click roots for the heck of it...

I found that you can use kingroot to root the factory test firmware for the SM-S903VL
This is the only root method I know and I belive it is the first for the SM-S903VL
The factory firmware has drawbacks, no text calling or downloads or play store.
If anyone can find a way to make this better and actually be able to use the play store phone and texting let us know.
MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU DO THIS
Downgrade and root files found on my drive...

Use odin to flash and Kingroot to root, may take a few tries.
If you are done and need to flash back to stock firmware flash these files with odin...

I don't have this phone, but can you send me some screenshots of what apps are installed, and a screenshot of About phone menu, so that I can try to help with play store and phone/text?

I wasn't entirely sure what you wanted when it concerned Apps so I just went to settings and took screenshots of everything under Settings > Device > Apps
Let me know if that's everything you need so I can put 6.0.1 back on before I head to work so I have a stable phone.

I was able to get the home screen and notifications but there is this black transparent thing with yellow text that is getting in the way of everything, you can see it in the screenshots. Also because this is Factory Mode apparently there is no lock screen? I've rooted again and am trying to see if I can turn it off for you but here is what I got so far
I have a US Model BLA-A09 that I flashed LineneageOS on. How do I return the unit back to stock. I can't seem to find the stock firmware anywhere for this model.
Thanks

I have a US model and sorry can't answer your question however hoping you can help me by explaining how you rooted and unlocked your phones boot loader? If there is no way to recover for us US users though I may want to hold off.
Thanks

Only follow the unlock part, then flash TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904) from dev section and latest magisk after that. (http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk)
@dkotoric there doesn't seem to be any A09 yet. Either it hasn't gotten any updates yet or they just haven't been found.
I have stock firmware for BLA-A09 I can share with you. Tell me where to send

Your pictures shown it's flashed kernel and recovery. Did you manually flashed it? Or it's doing automatically.....

I manually flashed the system.IMG, kernel (aka boot) and recovery ramdisk image thru fastboot. With that, I was able to start (it wouldn't) but I somehow was missing some things I had deleted (and that's understandable) but some things I never had as well (such as system update, clones, magazine, and translator.
Somehow, after starting I was able to see the update in Firmware Finder, which before that I hadnt been able to. Downloaded it immediately and I also, same as another commenter I read just now around here somewhere, had problems with the extractor, so this time instead of the three individual IMGs thru fastboot, I flashed TWO of the supposed to be three update, update full, and update public (with the missing one being update.zip) straight thru the unofficial TWRP and voila! Back to complete clean stock with safety net (and Google pay verified and conserving custom recovery
