OK, I just got myself Moto X (16GB) and I'm coming from Galaxy Nexus.
I had to go and pay full price for a phone so I don't lose my unlimited data plan, now my goal is to be able to tether off of it), while using my Galaxy Nexus I had https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fattin.togglewidget.hotspot that I installed from Google Play that allowed me to enable tethering ... unfortunately that doesn't work w/ MotoX(
Is there any easy way like this widget to get to tethering (w/out root)?
ClockworkMod tether may work, I did the same thing as u actually... toro to Moto X full price to keep unlimited. I rooted mine and put safestrap on it and I love it to death, even a patch for native wifi tether to work bypassing the check here on xda. For what it's worth you can always RSD back to stock if you don't like it rooted or need to return it.

How come RockMyMoto instead of PwnMyMoto? PwnMyMoto seems like easier to do (I've tried it and couldn't get it work due to an error inside of ZIP)
Wondering if anyone has tried towelroot on 4.3 for locked bootloaders, it says on the site that theoretically it should support any device build built before June 3rd.
I understand we have a locked bootloader but so does the Verizon and AT&T S5

Worked for me
I used it and it seems to work fine. Very easy, go the towelroot.com site, click on the symbol and download the app.I enabled installing from non-secure sources in settings/security. I installed the .apk and it ran, rebooted automically and I now have root. I am running Stock 9.2.A.0.295 now rooted without all the downgrading etc. Sweet! You must have read the same article on Androidpolice that I read.

I have just successfully rooted my locked Xperia T running 4.3 stock (.205)
Wow! :laugh:
Thanks for posting!
Worked on my unlocked Xperia T, i can grant SU rights to applications, but I cannot update the supersu binary. Anyone else have this problem or is it my device ?
AT&T Build
Works on my AT&T Xperia TL, Android 4.1.2; Build 9.1.F.1.120.
SuperSU + Linux Deploy up & running.
-----updated: Terminal "su" works, but Linux Deploy = rebooting on "su" request, even with updated SuperSU

1. With the help of a file manger install TowelRoot
2. Install modified FlashgordonBB , and then with it PhilZ Recovery . Don't use the "normal" Flashgordon.
3. Flash Update Supesu in Recovery.
4.Reboot and install Supersu.
Set.

All right and I am grateful, too, certainly. That man deserves a beer or two, and some pretty girls, too.
But 150 pages of thanks - as great as it is - I think I'll just stick here.

Since rooting my LB Xperia T yesterday, I'm experiencing frequent disconnects in my phonecalls.
Anyone else has similar issues?

May be we should report here which Xperia models have been rooted successfully using Towelroot?
- Sony Xperia V, .210

I don't think its good idea becouse some ppls can't root with it sucessfuly.
So SuperSu is advising an Update
So apparently, SuperSu is now offering an update - I was wondering what version, so I launched SuperSu and it updated after I allowed it, choosing "Normal" instead of TWRP/CWM - because I don't have a recovery installed. It worked fine and it suggested a reboot - which after that I had version 2.0. Works great.
Yesterday, Geohot released his Towelroot exploit here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
Towelroot was made for the Verizon / AT&T Galaxy S5, reported working with the Note 3, and is supposed to work on pretty much any device with a kernel built before June 3. Since the TF701T has a kernel from Apr 18, I tried Towelroot on a completely stock TF701T and can report that I am now rooted without unlocking my boot loader.
Just leaving this here in case there are any further developments. I'd love to see how much can be done without voiding warranty through bootloader. At the very least, we have Xposed.
worked for me too !
Thanks great !
Good news. Can a mod sticky this please.
Thanks, it works very well. I want to know if I can install custom recovery without unlocking bootloader.

No you will need to unlock the boot loader to install a custom recovery I'm afraid.
Confirmed! Works great. Are you using Chainfire or the regular superuser. Chainfire tells me I need to update the binary but fails to do it. Using regular superuser now.
This is what i was looking for!!
We can at least get Xposed, Delete bloatwares, Starting Apps, Titanium Backup, Adaway.
But can someone confirm my doubts, Because this exploit works with before June kernels, it obviously means that if Asus bring us 4.4 we will not able to have a persistant root, except if a dev create a working LB custom recovery and then a Pre-rooted, zipaligned, deodexed 4.4 rom.
Am i wrong bros?

Works for now but 4.4 will most likely use the newer patched kernel. My Note 3 w I think KK is showing Kernel version 3.4 so KK may not have to use a kernel later then that.

Ok so root on 4.4 will only be possible by another exploit or unlocking BL.
I think i'm going so stay on a rooted 4.3 for now
Works for me as well. However, neither app superuser nor su work for me.

You can update first then use towelroot, no problem.
Updating SU bin
Regarding 'Out of date' SU bin message - after rooting with towel root install attached apk and then manually update.
Restoration and warranty concerns
Now, this might be a silly question for most Android users, and for me, but seeing as how I just can't trust my tablet that much with its wonkiness I have to ask: is it possible to "unroot" my device after using Towelroot and returning back to stock? Also, can ASUS see that I've been rooting my device, even though the bootloader has not been touched, and not accept my warranty?

To unroot do a factory reset.
There is no flash count so Asus can't be aware of this.

I may be stupid, but how is this supposed to work? I download tr.apk and when I try to install it, my TF701 says "App not installed". Is it not a straight-forward one-click method, or is is more complicated than this? On some other threads, it seems that there is a step of connecting the phone to the PC and running an installation batch script. Is this true for the TF701 as well?
Can someone supply a step-by-step guide on how to do this?
You just have to allow third party apps in Security settings and then click and install the apk. No pc or script needed.

I already have that (unless it somehow has reset itself - will check when I get home) - and it still said "App not installed" when I tried to install it.
It even came up and told me what permissions the application requested (which I don't think will happen, if I haven't enabled third party apps). Among those I saw an interesting one that I hadn't seen before - maybe that's the "root" cause of the exploit (pun intended )
Very strange... I have two TF701s, and on the oldest one (JB 4.3, Kernel 3.4.57 Apr 18, build 10.26.1.28) the tr.apk won't install. On my recently bought TF701 (Still not updated, running JB 4.2.2, Kernel 3.4.35, Oct 22 2013, build 10.14.1.47) it ran without any problems.
Has anyone with the Apr 18 update run the TowelRoot exploit successfully on their TF701?

I am hoping to install moto g (2014) with cyanogenmod rom because of some reasons, and I am curious whether the google play allows users to use the applications given by Motorola to be installed inside Cyanogenmod rom.
Thank you

I'm not running a Cyanogenmod rom and don't plan to but I'm wondering if the Motorola apps would sideload if the OP only wanted a few ew of them.

My wife's Moto X (2013) on VZW got the OTA to Lollipop last night, but today it keeps throwing an error "Update Google Play Services. Google Play services won't run unless you update Google Play services." If she follows the update link, it takes her to a blank page that has a retry button that doesn't do anything. I had her clear the Play cache and reboot, it re-compiled the apps but the phone still throws the same error message with the same result. She's on non-rooted stock (she doesn't like me messing with her gadgets too much ) so re-flashing is out of the question. I did a bit of research and found some suggestions out there that included attempting to side-load the latest Play services. Is this the best route to take or should I try something else instead? I got the newest Play services APK from Open GApps, so I know its safe, but if there is something else I can do to fix it without messing around with that I'd be a happy man.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
It gave me those errors also, but eventually the error messages went away after a few restarts. I also installed the newest Google Play Services downloaded from APKMirror so I can get Android Pay to work properly.

Was it a Moto X or your MAXX that it gave the error? When I get home tonight I'll try the side load to see if that fixes it.

Is anyone else having the problem of NOT receiving OTA on DE VZW..
I'm running stock ROM with xposed I don't see why I wouldn't receive
No, it was immediate after I RSD'd back to stock. Was running AOSP 5.1.1 prior. The first was the small update then the 700mb main file. When I say immediate, it was almost as soon as the phone finished booting up. This is a VZW Moto X DE as well, so maybe try a factory reset.

After getting home, I looked at her phone and couldn't replicate the message. So I dug deeper and found that indeed the Play Services had updated itself to the newest release sometime between when she complained about the error and when I got home. So that solves that one. I did, however, side-load the latest Play Store app, for some reason hers was several versions out of date. While I don't doubt her phone would have automatically updated it eventually it did put my mind at ease. Thanks for your input on this one.

Thread hijack aside...it could be that it is being rolled out in waves and you aren't in one of the waves yet. I would try a reboot followed by going to settings > system > system updates > check for system updates.
