Sprint Moto X from moto maker, how to unlock bootloader and root?

Trying to figure out if I should get my wife a Moto X, the only two things she needs is good battery life and wifi tether. Been trying to read on here but I am little lost, from what I understand the bootloader on the Sprint Moto X from moto maker is unlockable but how do I unlock it? I am seeing things about getting an unlock code from Motorola but this is not a dev edition phone.
Do I need to unlock bootloader in order to achieve root and then get a wifi tether to root?
And it looks like Sprint has not updated to 4.4 for the Moto X, is that right?
Thanks

Yes unlock in Motorola web site and the update is coming soon.

Thanks, I just looked that up and see that you can do it from their website, I didn't know that. Once I unlock the bootloader will future updates lock it again or will it remain unlocked like my N5?
Thanks again

So far you remaining unlock

[Q] Can a Verizon Moto X work on the T-Mobile network?

I have a Moto X that I purchased from Best Buy. I have Verizon. the Moto X is not activated. Can the same Moto X I have be activated on a T-Mobile account, can a TMO customer use it?

The short answer is yes. There may be some LTE issues depending on what version of Android is on the device.
There are few threads in the Droid Ultra section on this.

The Moto X is up to data with the latest OTA.

The Motorola site for the respective developer editions says Verizon version support LTE 750Mhz (B13) whereas the T-Mobile version supports LTE 700/AWS/1900MHz (B17/B4/B2). Doesn't seem like the VZW version will support T-Mobile LTE.

Sprint moto x to tmobile?

Please forgive me if this has been asked before!
I am really wanting to buy the sprint moto x but I'm looking to leave sprint in a few months. I was wondering if I can take the moto x with me to tmobile (I know you can with the nexus 5 but I don't want that)?
Does the moto x for sprint uses a sim card for sprint now like the others?

In short, no you cant
It doesn't have the LTE bands for T-Mobile, and the GSM frequencies are disabled by firmware and the SIM lock (LTE is SIM based, but it only works on Sprint's band 25 network).

[Q] Moto X roms

Now my bootloader is unlocked, I am looking for Roms to flash. I have an xt1058 Att variant.
I've see a label ghost, moto-8960, and moto-8960dt. Which one works for my phone?

Roms that are stated to be compatible with your Moto X model? The ATT Moto X? XT1058?

That's easy enough, but I was wondering about these names. For example, the N5 is hammerhead, N4 is Mako, the N3 was maguro, Crespo, and Toro.
Does the X (gsm) have a name?
