Can non-Pure Edition Moto X 2014 be rooted? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I found this link indicating a way to root the 2014 Moto X. Nothing in it says that you need the Pure Edition to root. But that runs contrary to what I have read elsewhere?
Can someone confirm or deny that root can be achieved in non-Pure versions of the new Moto X?
Thanks.

You wouldn't even have to ask if it were possible right now. There would be than thousands of posts about it. So in short, no. No new Moto X with 4.4.4 has a root method.

Can you link to the post you're talking about

What about temp root, like towelroot?

When you refer to a link and ask questions about it, it's generally a good idea to include that link so people have some reference of what you're talking about.

As stated in the article, it only works if you can unlock the bootloader through Motorola. If you can unlock the bootloader to begin with, root is trivial.

And unlocking the bootloader isn't possible, even with the instructions in that link?

[Q] Verizon Moto X

I currently just got a Verizon version moto x and using it on my at&t network.I'm new to the Verizon moto x and just want to know if 4.4.2 is rootable and unlock boot loader on the Verizon version? If so will it cause me not to be able to get connection using at&t or does it not matter?
Short answer. No. Sorry.
If it was on a version lower than 4.4.2 you could root it. But its on 4.4.2, so no can do.
However, go to general thread and see the China unlock thread. For $45 you can unlock the bootloader..IF your phone is on his list. Then you are golden!
That's the only hope you have. ?

Moto X 2014 4.4.4. Verizon Firmware

Where can I find the Stock firmware? Links would be nice
Thanks in advance.
Here's the complete moto X guide, a sticky in the general section. Go to the returning to stock section. There's a link for firmware (sbf) . If your 4.4.4 is released yet, which it may or may not be.
If not, might have to wait. And not sure what you are doing exactly.... But don't downgrade Android versions. If you value your device.

That would work if the OP had a 2013 X, but the topic says 2014, so a better place to start would probably be the 2014 Moto X forum.

Your signature says you are 'rooted' already, but maybe 'unlocked' is the better term? Since your phone appears to be unlocked and s-off, you are all set to use custom 'rooted' ROMs. There are several rooted Lollipop ROMs to choose from in the development section.
Hey Can somebody please hook me with links Tutorial on how root my HTC one I'm on complete stock lollipop

You don't need to flash twrp.
a) You can fastboot boot cf-auto-root.img
b) You can fastboot boot twrp.img and then adb sideload root.zip through it.
This is a Nexus with fastboot. Not a samsuck.

The only thing breaking phones is not knowing what you`re doing followed by making the wrong decision All 2 above suggestions are great btw.

A few questions...

Hello fellow XDA members,
I just got the Moto G 2014 and I have been looking into rooting and flashing for this phone. I have a few questions:
1. What is the difference between this variant (XT1072) and the other ones. This has 4G LTE, its that the only difference or does your phones have it as well?
2. Is rooting and flashing worth it? I have been looking at a couple of ROMs and Kernels and I'm not sure whether rooting is the way to go. I have modded all my previous phones but this phone is fast and it rarely has any problems.
3. Do any of the ROMs even support this model or are all the models the same and their shouldn't be any problem flashing?
Thanks for your help [emoji14]

What do you mean? The system apk of the playstore? If so, I can't do that since I am not rooted. Also, why are you posting something like that in another persons thread. I'm sure you will be helped much faster if you create your own thread. I recommend downloading the apk of the internet if you want it, just do a quick google search.

Google playstore's host is deleted. For this i need the host file.

This post should answer your question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/xt1072-compatible-roms-t3068071
I have a Moto G (2014) XT1068 and it doesn't have 4G. I've read posts of devices being bricked because of attempting to install ROMs meant for the regular Moto G (2014) so I wouldn't recommend it. Sadly, there don't seem to be anyROMS for your phone...
---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------
However, you can root your phone and install Xposed Framework to get customization features of other ROMs but I think that's about all you can do...

Yeah I thought that the only way was to use xposed if there are no ROMs. Thanks anyway!
