I have a Moto X on Verizon currently running 4.4.2. Can I go back to a stock ROM so that I can root my device and load up a custom ROM?
Any and all help is much appreciated!

DO NOT DO IT! Just search this forum, downgrading causes bricks, and most likely you will end up with a phone that doesn't work at all.

A temp root is available now. It is somewhat limited, but still useful. See towelpieroot in the themes and apps subforum.
No custom rom ability, but can run most root apps.

FireOS 5.3.2.1 and above can not be rooted at present. Nor can it be downgraded; attempts to do so will brick the device.

You can't; bootloader (thus kernel) remain locked.

Hey mrmazak,
Thanks for your development and the support of this community with Dirtycow.
To clarify, are you seeing any exploits that could be leveraged in order to root and it will take more time for development, or is it just out of the question?
Thanks,

Blu has changed preloader since v6.6. no access to preloader from sptf, so no flashing, no root
Thanks mrmazak,
Anytime sooner will there be root ?
No, there will not be root. The security holes have been plugged. The tools used to modify the phones have been blocked.
If you installed a recent over-the-air update, you are out of luck - no recovery, no flashing, no rooting. Period. End of story. Done.
Never accept an over-the-air update for a phone that you want to root or modify.

Wow **** blu.
Guess I'll just return it, you know, cause **** sales too!
Sorry, I am new to rooting with many of my phones and I am getting very frustrated at how many developers patch the root. I used to think Android was friendlier for root than iOS is for jailbreaking, don't think so anymore.
Is there a root friendly list of phones new you have on this forum up-to-date?
Sort of hard to buy a phone requesting from the seller to have the "right version" on it. Ex.) blu phone prior to v6.6.
Thanks.

it is possible to root V8.4 if you're already using a custom recovery with dirty cows v11

If you have custom recovery , then yes. The dirty cow part is only needed to allow bootloader unlock. So once it's unlocked and you have recovery , should be no problem to root
Trash talk lol, nothing is impossible just that you can't do it simple!.

Thank you for your answer. Too bad, I hope that someone competent will find a way to root this version, if not at least a way to uninstall Fire launcher and other system applications.

- root is very unlikely
- but there's still a lot you can do: https://forum.xda-developers.com/am...-to-make-50-amazon-fire-tablet-stock-t3710158

Thank you ?. I have already made these changes. I would have liked to free some memory by uninstalling some applications. We'll see.
Have a good day

Hi! On another thread, I think, I found that if you turn the screen off, wait about 5 to 10 seconds, then turn it on again (by touching the on/off button at the top), the install button goes orange and you can install. You have to do this process for each separate APK - hope it works for you, too! (I'm on 5.6, too)

Fire Os 5.3.2.1 and up= NO ROOT/ NO CUSTOM ROMS
Thank you for answer my ? But

No - device will brick with no possibility for recovery if downgraded below 5.4 (not entirely accurate but good enough).
Is there any known successful downgrades from 5.3.6.4 -> 5.3.2.1? It's not within the 5.4.x code base. I'm in the same situation, trying to determine a way to get to 5.3.2.1 from 5.3.6.4
Thanks,

You can't; nor is there a reason to do so. If root is desired follow the guidance in this thread.
