I guess you didn't see this thread in the GENERAL Section -> [One Stop Shop] How do I root my Moto X - Let's end the confusion
Your phone falls under the first point.. Unlocked bootloaders. (Maybe it should be titled "unlockable bootloaders")... so in particular see this post -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54671918&postcount=70

Read the original thread this QA thread is about, and you'll see PwnMyMoto was patched a very long time ago. It worked with 4.2.2.
I suggest you see this thread in the GENERAL Section -> [One Stop Shop] How do I root my Moto X - Let's end the confusion And read under the section titled... Locked bootloaders on Android 4.4.4 Or you can read just this particular post in that thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54671918&postcount=70
Yes, those are the same links I put in Post #4 here, but the info you need is contained in them too.

Failure to install
I tried installing the root app however I wasn't able to. The following is the command I gave and the response it gave.
Code:

What ROM or Android Version is on your phone?
The vulnerability that PwnMyMoto exploited was PATCHED/FIXED in the first OTA update to 4.2.2 w/Camera Patch (october/november 2013). So unless you're using the initial 4.2.2 ROM that shipped on the X back when it was launched in September 2013, PwnMyMoto wont work!!!
In other words....
Please be advised that.... PwnMyMoto only works on the initial shipping 4.2.2 rom from Sept 2013. If you have taken any updates, you can NO LONGER USE PwnMyMoto!!
This Q&A thread was started by a BOT on these forums, not a person. The initial thread it points to discussing PwnMyMoto is from September 2013 and Jcase even posted in the first post of that thread that the "latest OTAs patch this exploit" on Nov 3, 2013... i.e. it wont work with newer roms/updates on the phone.

Will this work on Moto X 2nd Gen AT&T Lollipop?

No. The vulnerability which was exploited by this process has long since been patched.

1. This is an old Exploit that has been patched a while ago.
2. The Xt1052 can be boot loader unlocked, so you don't need an exploit like this... You can root by unlocking the bootloader, flashing twrp and installing SuperSu.

When i go to use the PwnMyMoto and click install it says App not installed
please help

What phone and what ROM?
As I stated earlier in this thread, The vulnerability which was exploited by this process has long since been patched.
So unless you have a 2013 X with 4.2.2, you can't use this.

[Q] No more root for Moto X?

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.

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

[Q] do you think it's possible to flash...

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.

Verizon DE4.4.4 update

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

Root 4.4.4? Method Found?

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...

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.

Problem in Nexus 5
Hey guys, I'm new here so please, forgive me if this isn´t the apropiate thread for my question. (And sorry for my ****ty english)
Yesterday I flashed Lollipop on my Nexus and I wanted root access to restore my apps with Titanium. So I flashed the Franco Kernel and then the CF-Autoroot. That's work with any problem. Root checker works and I can restore my apps with Titanium.
The problem is that I wanted to change the lcd density from the build.prop, but ES File Explorer doesn´t recive root permises. I tryied with others explorers and the same problem. Also, I wanted to hide the navbar with Ultimate Dynamic Navbar but i can´t.
Please, if any of you knows how to fix that, or you have the same problem, answer to me. Thanks!

Unfortunately after flashing my xt1064 I still don't have root access. Tried flashing it again but still nothing. Returned to the stock boot.img for now.
Edit: Nvm. It works. I thought you could just install SuperSU through the app store and not have to flash it. Yeah I'm a noob. Everything appears to be working now with the beta version of SuperSU. Thanks.
