I can't find any on the motorola website and the landing page that I found by using google takes me to a support page.

Did they ever have the developer edition option for the 2014 edition?
2014 Pure Edition = 2013 Developer Edition

Unlike the earlier developer edition, you would lose warranty on the pure edition if you request a bootloader unlock, so it is unfortunate that Motorola didn't offer a deveoper edition this time.

100% false. It was confirmed by Moto on their forums that the pure edition would be treated like a developer edition and would not void the warranty if you unlocked the bootloader.

Thanks for the tip! Here is a thread that confirms what you said: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/unlocking-bootloader-moto-x-pure-t3004779
Fine, but unlocking bootloader alone makes no sense if u no root. And rooting void your warranty, am i right?
... You do realize you can remove root easily... Or even restore back to stock with the bootloader unlocked right?
And no, root does not void the warranty.

Good to hear such of information.
I sent a developer edition back with a custom ROM on it and the warranty was still valid. I wanted to put all these non sense claims to the test about people stating you'd void your warranty. It only voids the warranty if they can prove thats what made the device go faulty. If its a hardware failure, like screen dying, or wifi glitching out or some other crazy thing, software won't cause that under most circumstances.
Of course, if your in india though, they will void your warranty upon unlocking the bootloader for some stupid reason.
please go and see another answer form motorola chat

There's no financial cost to unlock your boot loader, its free.

Thanks for your reply.
I was going off a FAQ in the General section
Please note, In order to flash any custom Recoveries, you need to have unlocked Bootloader. Barring the open Bounty, the only viable option right now is to buy an unlock code from Motorola.

Motorola does not charge you for the boot loader unlocking code, the only cost is your warranty if you do not have a developer edition.

You can only unlock on VZW and AT&T if you get the developer edition, and the cost is $50 more than the standard device.

So if you just get the regular one, you are stuck with the stock ROM?
Also, is it possible to get the VZW dev edition? I just went through the whole Moto Maker process and didn't see anything about developer edition.

Developer editions aren't eligible for MotoMaker.
The unlock process it free, but as mentioned, it is not currently possible to unlock a non dev Verizon or Att model and the Dev models are not available through Moto Maker. If you're looking at another carrier then VZW or ATT you can unlock from what I read, but since theyre not DEV editions you lose your warranty.

I'm pretty sure they're referring to the SIM carrier lock. Correct me if I'm wrong folks.
I have a Verizon Dev edition with my boot loader unlocked. And I did not have to pay for a unlock key.
Hi again,
Is it possible install a Dev Edition ROM on a "common" Moto X?
Thanks!

The Dev edition Roms aren't one byte different from the regular ones.
The vzw Dev edition uses the regular xt1060 ROM.
The GSM Dev edition use the T-Mobile xt1053 ROM.
What are you trying to accomplish?!?

There is no hardware or software difference besides the unlockable bootloader. When the bootloader exploit gets released, unlock your device, and it will be nearly the same. (I only say nearly because I feel like i'm forgetting something.

That really doesn't make sense....but no. You can't.
There are SEVERAL XT1058s. Which do you have? The AT&T Variant, or a different one?
If you do NOT have the AT&T variant, you can already unlock the bootloader which basically "transforms" it into a DEV edition without doing anything else.
Any phone with an unlocked bootloader *IS* an un-official "DEV" edition. There is nothing "special" about the Dev editions except for their unlockable bootloaders, or rather the fact that they retain their warranty after being unlocked.
I'm not understanding what you intend to gain?
ALL Moto X's have unlockable bootloaders *EXCEPT* for the Verizon, AT&T, and Republic Wireless variants.
The only thing "special" about the dev editions is that they keep their warranty intact after unlocking the bootloader. But if it isn't a device SOLD as a DEV edition, you will void its warranty anyways.
And if you happen to have the AT&T, Verizon, or Republic Wireless variant, see the thread in General titled "China Middleman Back" - that guy sells codes that unlock the bootloader on the locked variants. If you pay him and get a code, your phone will be a non-official DEV edition. If you DON'T have AT&T, Verizon, or Republic Wireless variant, you can *already* unlock it *FREE* from Moto's official unlock website.

@samwathegreat can i flash a Galaxy Note 3 rom? I want to transform my maxx to a note 3. I really like the bigger screen.
Wut?
Just what exactly is the Developer Edition?
Is it just a plain & simple Sim Free, No Carrier Device in UK.
I see this phrase bantered around with the Moto X 2014 & never find out what the Developer Edition is.
I have a 32gb Sim Free Moto X 2014 coming direct from Motomaker to the UK.....Is this a Developer Edition?
Can someone advise?
I am wanting to Unlock the Bootloader & Root when it comes.
Does unlocking the Bootloader void warranty with Motorola?
Ta
You have the developers edition. It just refers to the unbranded and unlocked Moto X.
Its also the only one where you can unlock the boot loader and not void warranty.

You'll be copying the code wrongly. It's very strict. You have to take out spaces.

I want to get the bamboo/ white moto x , but it's on 500 eur ( 32 gb) on Amazon and 550 eur on Moto maker, I don't need the moto maker version, since I want to go with the stock white/bamboo configuration, but on moto maker you get the pure edition. As far as I know the unlocked gsm version has a locked bootloader and if you want to unlock it you need to use Motorola's website and lose your warranty :crying: , am I right?
Can you unlock the bootloader from the pure edition without voiding the warranty? I just want to root to install xposed but to me it's totally worth the 50 extra euros if I am going to get to keep my warranty :laugh:
On motorola's website you get the following message "You have only yourself to blame. Unless you have a Developer Edition device, once you get the unlock code, your device is no longer covered by the Motorola warranty" , notice how they say developer edition and NOT pure edition, I'm quite confused ...
Pure edition is also known as a Developer edition. For more info please see this thread:

Thanks! Good to know, the bad thing is that it appears that MotorolA does not honor the warranty for some people with the pure edition and for other people it does
Hi guys, just a quick question.
With Nexus devices, if you flash a factory image then you relock the bootloader them return in warranty.
How does it work on Motorola? The same? Or there is a sort of "counter" which shows that the bootloader was previously unlocked (as HTC's "Relocked" voice in bl)? And if yes, is there a way to hide or "reset" it?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English.

If you have the XT1095 it doesn't matter either way. Locked or unlock will not affect your warranty
It will sat that it was relocked.

As far as my knowledge goes, the XT1092 is the European Pure Edition which means you'll still have warranty after setting everything back to stock. A European law even forces Companies to give you warranty if the issue is hardware related and not caused by your software change.
Hey fellows!
I just got the the Moto X XT1097, its possible to root whitout unlock?

That's what a Motorola agent answered to me (It's Italian):
He said that the bootloader unlock voids the warranty, BUT restocking should give me back it. ?

So does US law in many states.
Now a poster on another forum claims it is a federal law, and when I looked up the statute he was referencing I did not see that in the statute. I asked him to clarify but he never did.
I could have missed it when I scanned through the federal statute, but again, I didn't see it in the federal statute. However, as I said, many states have laws that can be invoked if the manufacturer tries to do a blanket warranty void and the issue you are having is not related to whatever you did that the manufacturer says killed your warranty.
