Yes it is unlockable, and rootable. To unlock bootloader just google search "motorola bootloader unlock". And do it from official mitirola dev page.

I did look there on the Moto site but Maxx did not seem to appear on the list of unlockable phones unless I am totally blind. I will look again.

hi,
I can't post in the developer sections, so a question here:
Has anyone rooted their UK moto X yet? Comes with 4.4.2
the motorola chat said they expect we'll be able to unlock the bootloader but I'm not holding my breath.
But rooting? Yes please!

as of right now there is no root for 4.4.2 so you have to wait and see if someone finds a way to get root
or wait and see if you can unlock your bootloader.

Sorry to say but the answer is no. There is no known root path or exploit available to the public at this time for 4.4.2. The only option is an unlocked boot loader.
no downgrade to 4.4 possible?
no... bootloader in 4.4.2 is different from 4.4. check the threads... there's been many failures of bricked devices because of it.
unlock the bootloader. go pay that chinese guy the $40'ish bucks for the unlock code. got my code overnight. straight up and legit.
aldouse's info is correct.
I would just add one thing... paying ~$40 on the Chinese site selling unlock codes appears to no longer be an option. Seller is not responding. And rumor is that Moto caught up to the person.
Aw man I wish I knew about that seller while it worked. I would of loved to have done that. Looks like were SOL now OP

No root ain't so bad on the x.
I think I have an idea for obtaining root on it...kind of use the stock recovery as the exploit

Not straight up and legit. Stolen codes from moto! You want unlocked and root buy a ****ing developer edition. If everyone bought developer editions maybe carriers would be more likely to offer unlocked.

Method to root Moto X Android 4.4.4 Verizon.?
1. Did you bother searching? You might not be the first person to ask.
2. Buy a developer edition and sell your phone or take a chance with the middleman in China to unlock your bootloader.

Boot into recovery and flash one of the su zips that corresponds to the root app of your choice. If you don't have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, then you can't root.

I don't think Verizon is pushing it to every one yet, so if you are not part of the Soak, that is why your phone says its up to date.
You can grab the OTA zip being sent as SOAK and manually flash it. (see HERE and HERE) BUT know that if you have a locked bootlaoder, you can't root it.

The China middleman works for the time I used it, but it's so much easier and convenient to just buy a developer edition now that they've gone on sale.

Root is almost available for the DT but BL unlock is not guaranteed yet so no one can say if DT owners (like myself) will even be able to flash anything. Good question though.

Likely not. You can't just "swap ROMS" between a CDMA device and a GSM device.

Were those turbos XT1250s? Because nothing has been shown about someone working on BL unlock for the DT (XT1254)......yet. but ofc the XT1250s are already unlocked but not the XT1254s which is the model I believe he was asking about.

Probably not this simple, but if we get root maybe the bootloader from one of these prototypes can be copied to a turbo using a dd command. Then we would all have unlocked bootloaders

That would not work because it is not signed by moto. The ONLY things that matter are: 1) Signed vs unsigned packages and 2) bootloader exploits. Some BL exploits require root, most do now since they have gotten advanced. I miss the days of hardware level exploits and stuff. No more though. Root will likely be needed for a BL unlock and I would assume once root drops people will start working on one. Jcase has unlocked many motos and I would assume he will work on one when he has time (he is sick and very busy).
So root will not allow a BL unlock by itself. I am not even sure if this root exploit removes /system write protection. Some don't. We just have to wait and see.
I was busy last week, but if there will be BL unlock for Verizon Droid Turbo, then I'll make the CM12 / CM12.1 universal.

If you dump the package yourself I would imagine it would no longer have the same check sum no? Jcase has said this about many devices and then out of nowhere released exploits. I am not asking him to, I am just saying he enjoys doing this and is really, really good at it. I can see him collaborating with the root author to develop a proper exploit if it does not already exist. Either way, this root probably won't be released for another few weeks, if ever.

No, if you dump the bootloader yourself, it will be signed with the exact same certificates as when it was compiled. As a quick demonstration, take a device (not the Turbo) and download a custom kernel for it.
Check (and make note of) the MD5 checksum. Then install it.
Boot it once or twice, messing around with it. Then dump it (via
Code:
dd if="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot" of="/sdcard/boot.img"
) and compare the MD5 of your dumped image to that of the one that had not yet been installed. Zero difference.
