I just got a new Moto X GSM unlocked from moto maker directly.
I do not want to unlock the bootloader, just have root for adblocking and titanium backup for the most part.
The only methods I was able to find seem to involve downgrading the moto x to 4.2 but that would require unlocking the bootloader, which I do not want to do. (i'm not even sure if this bootloader is easily unlockable)
Is there a way to root on 4.4 without downgrading/unlocking?
as of right now no there is no way to root 4.4 without downgrading.
You do not have to unlock bootloader to downgrade to 4.2.

CF root with ATT branded XT1097
Does anyone know if the new CF root method that came out today will work with ATT branded XT 1097? Since we are not able to unlock bootloader directly from Motorola?
Thanks!

Moto X BL discrepancy
I have a Mot X (2014) and after multiple attempts to unlock the BL, I'm stumped. It's a VZW and everytime I input the code string on Moto's site they inform me that the phone is ineligible for BL unlocking.

Do not think that VZW allows the BL unlock same with ATT.

What to use for Verizon xt1096? Is it safe to try both 95 and 97 and see what doesn't fail?
Root for Moto X 2014 XT1096
Does anyone know if there has been an update for rooting the xt1096? I know that the 1095s and the 1097s both have roots available for them but does the 1096? If so where would it be found?
In response to #8, Verizon doesn't let us unlock our bootloaders, and both of the methods (for the 1095 and 1097) require an unlocked bootloader. That means we will need another way to gain root. (Just incase you're wondering, I double checked that those methods won't work by trying to use them on my 1096. Both failed, thus resulting in nothing changing...)
Works on my brazilian xt1097?
if I have a XT1095 rooted on Lollipop, I will get updates? or a I need to reflash the stock boot.img?

rooted on 5.0.1 with cf root + stock recovery. would a factory reset through stock recory be a problem? would I loose root privileges in the process? thanks

You will still get updates, but when you try to flash the update it will fail due to modifications made to the system. If you modded the boot.IMG then you will need to reflash the stock boot.IMG. You will also need to flash the stock system.IMG since it was modified with root access. Once you are completely stock again you can take the update without any issues.
locked hell
I'm in the same boat. I paid full price for what I hoped would be an unlocked phone, but I still got a fully crap-wared phone for use with Verizon. Bootloader is locked, so I'm not sure where that leaves me. I bought this direct from Moto, so not sure how Verizon is still allowed to lock me down.
thank you!
Guys, I have a xt1097 brazilian version. I would like to know if this cf auto root works for me, I'm running android 5.0 with a locked bootloader. It's better unlock bootloader an then use the cf auto root? Or is it better to use cf auto root with the bootloader locked? Does this work with xt1097 running 5.0?
Thank you!
Bye!

Hello everyone!

Thanks!

Only a TEMP root, with Towel Root, or TowelPie root was possible on 4.4.2 with a locked bootloader.
IF you've never had your phone upgraded to 4.4.4... and you still have 4.4.2 with bootloader 30.B4, take a look at Sunshine to unlock your bootloader, then you can root just like you had a Developer Edition phone...

Hello guys, I bought an Att sim unlocked, locked bootloader moto X 2013, and I' m fine with stock, but I want to remove some bloatware. Now I'm in 4.4.4 and I heard that I can root my phone, but after a reboot the root is gone, because of the locked bootloader.I want this temporal root to unistall the att bloatware plus some other app. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance?
Instead of temporary Rooting, you could better choose to Disable the Bloats.. (few cant be disabled as well) :s

Temp root was available on 4.4.2 and lower. Once on 4.4.4 you can't root, nor can you use Sunshine to unlock your bootloader then root.
i have verizon moto x, it doesnot say dev ed on back, only verizon.
it currently runs 4.4.4
and in boot loader it says device is unlocked. status code 3.
but in "the complete moto x guides/information" thread it lists verizon moto x as unlockable.
i want to get root following the same guide.(twrp flash, su flash).
is it safe for me to do that?
Yes, if it says unlocked status code 3 you can get root via twrp, su flash

thanks, much appreciated also its alright if i flash any 5.1.1 rom( like cm12) right? ofcourse after flashing cm11
Yes, but I'm not sure the latest ones will work with the older 4.4.4 bootloader and modem. Probably would be best to upgrade it to stock lp first. Don't worry it once bootloader is unlocked it won't relock
Edit:also you don't need to flash Cm 11 first first anymore. And the safest way to upgrade to stock lp is probably via rsd
