I migrated my apps from the og moto x developer edition. One app was SuperSU. When I opened that app I didn't get any errors, so I downloaded a root checker app and it confirmed my new moto x was already rooted.
Fluke?

Yes, fluke. Just tried on my pure edition and it's a no go.
Maybe a refurbished device? And the previous owner rooted it, and Motorola didn't recognize?

Will it receive ota updates when it is rooted?
Refurbished so soon after launch? I suppose it is possible.

Yes, several returns are happening, I'm sure they're flipping them.
Use DiskDigger and see if there are any deleted files /photos on there. Always encrypt then factory reset your device prior to sending it back

Pardon my stupidity if this has already been asked, but I couldnt find any info on it.
SIM unlocked and rooted my AT&T Moto X and am running it on my local carrier. Have 4.2 installed with SS. I just got the OTA notification for 4.4 (i assume from AT&T). Is this normal?
Also, if I were to take the OTA, it would break root of course, but could I just use slapmymoto to root it? Also, since I have never done OTAs, are there any disadvantages to it?
TIA
Don't bother taking the ota...the first step of slap my Moto is returning to stock 4.2.2!

I will be completely honest I am a complete retard when understanding how rooting works... But I have done the process a dozen of times and I havent had any major problems but for this root I cant figure it out! So here is my problem....
Verizon sent me an update to the newest system version (98.72.189.XT894.Verizon.en.US) so naturally I downloaded and installed the update and it UNROOTED my phone! I no longer have safestrap and superuser access and such. So I have tried different techniques and different programs on rooting this bad boy such as Motofail and Razrs_edge and I still cant get it to work... Both programs have the usual errors of "Permission Denied" or "Unable to". So all and all.... I NEED HELP!
Here is what I do know like im 99% sure about
-I have all the drivers and their is no yellow triangle and I have motorola device manager.
-I have Unknown Sources checked and USB debugging checked.
-I also forced stopped smart actions cuz I read on a post that I was causing problems while rooting.
Here is what I do NOT know
-Which USB mode do I need to be on? Mass Storage? MTP? idk!
-Do it matter that I am on 4.1.2?
Again I want to thank you for your time and I really would like some help with this darn thing! I am kinda desperate right now..

Hi,
The old root method won't work after the OTA update.
You need to use this method:

I've updates to 4.4.2. Now I want to prevent further updates until I decide to do it. I am rooted.
On 4.3 and 4.4, I used Titanium Backup to freeze the MotorolaOTA and Updater apps. Now that I'm running 4.4.2, there is no Updater app in the list. Is it enough to freeze just MotorolaOTA?
Yup works for for me

Or you can use a root capable file manager to navigate to /system/priv-app and rename the 3C_OTA.APK to somethning else.
I bought a Verizon N6 from Verizon a few weeks ago. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, installed TWRP and Chroma rom. Everything was working fine with the exception of occasional force closes of Facebook. I then flashed Benzo rom. I noticed days later that I was consistently not getting 4G LTE. From there, I flashed different roms (AOSP, CM, and stocks bases) and the LMY47E bootloader/radio combination all resulting in no 4G. I also tried tinkering with the APN settings and the other settings in Mobile Networks without any luck. I tried creating an APN, but it doesn't save it. Lastly, I tried doing the *228 update and a factory reset without the SIM card in, still no luck.
So in the end, I have no 4G LTE. My phone seems to work like normal, just slower data. (3G data and voice work). If anybody has any suggestions, I really appreciate it!

Mine has done that too..just use wug tool kit ...flash back to stock then reroot and do twrp again....that's what I've had to do ....just don't relock bootloader of course..will take about 2o minutes but you will have lte back....
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I did try that, except I went and relocked the bootloader. Wug didn't install stock recovery though, so I flashed stock, unrooted and relocked the bootloader.. All with TWRP still installed. I thought it was bricked for a moment, but it worked out. Unlocked and rooted again, but still no 4G.

I'm not sure why it didn't install stock recovery; I thought it was supposed to too. Maybe I missed something.
And yes, the sim was in with the *228. I was a little skeptical about that afterwards too, but my wife was having signal issues and remedied it with that on her Note 3. So I gave it a go.

Hello all:
Last night, tmobile started blocking my service unless I disabled SuperSU. I installed xposed (yes the app and the framework) and rootcloaked every tmobile app I could find, but my service is still blocked.
Anyone have any ideas? I am 10n.
Thanks

must be more to this story
thousands of users are rooted without issues
Sounds like there's an app running with Root permissions killing your radio.
This isn't T-Mobile, this is you. There is no way for them to do that at least not to only one device.
Pay your bill.
