How to get root? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody, i bought XT1058 from AT&T 4.4.4 directly from USA to Germany via simpleshoppinglink.com
And it is no way to get root or open loader. Does it mean that my Moto X no-good and i have to claim for shipping company? If it's possible to solve this trouble with root I will appreciate.

You cannot root or unlock the bootloader of an XT1058 running 4.4.4. You should have bought the XT1053 GSM Developer Edition or the TMobile Moto X if you wanted to unlock and root it.

I'm not going to go into the reasons why, but Moto does NOT give out the bootloader unlock code for the Retail and MotoMaker X for Verizon, ATT and a few other carriers. There was this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/verizon-moto-maker-bootloader-unlock-t2680651 on purchasing an unlock code from a 3rd party source via Chinese web site, but it has not been available since April 1. And we don't expect it to be available again.

I don't know if vzw provides unlock codes.
But what I can say is warranty won't affect your chance of getting an unlock code.
You should check on moto website.
If you enter the imei number they'll tell you whether it can be unlocked

No. Moto will never give out the bootloader unlock code on the Non-Developer Edition XT1060 (likely due to their contract with Verizon), and Verizon does not give them out (for dev edition either).
And with the locked bootloader, once 4.4.4 is on your phone, you can't root it.

Its likely for an OLDER ROM.
There were about 3 or 4 different processes for X with a locked bootloader, but it was based on ROM version on the phone (i.e. 4.2.2 w/camera update, 4.4, 4.42). Once 4.4.4 is on there, all past vulnerabilities that were exploited on phones with locked bootloaders have been patched/closed, so if you have 4.4.4 on the phone and can't unlock the bootloader, you can't root.

The Australian version is XT1092 (the same as EU I think). I think you can unlock the bootloader and root it.
Just follow this guide, it will help you further. :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-xt1097-to-xt1095-nextel-t2972693
Just to confirm for anyone else who is reading this thread and wondering,
the Australian Motox 2014 can be bootloader unlocked using the Motorola website.
I didn't end up getting one, I got a nexus 6, however my friend got a Moto X 2014 from The Good Guys,
and I went through the procedure on their phone and it will unlock.
Thanks to X96 for your advice in this thread too.

Well, this is the 2013 X group.. The bootloader on the 2013 X for Republic Wireless (XT1049) can not have its bootloader unlocked once on 4.4.4, and I'm not aware of a root method that works on the RW XT1049 once on 4.4.4. IF you are looking for SIM unlock (aka carrier unlock) there was an option for the 2013 X from RW, but I'm not aware if it works or not once you get on 4.4.4
Further, since they are different phones, and use different roms, I'm not sure any of the XT1049 2013 X for Republic wirelelss would apply to a 2014 X for Republic Wireless.
You might have better luck posting in the 2014 X group. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014
Have you tried Sunshine app? If not just Google search it and let it test your device if it can unlock bootloader. Cost me $25.

If this is a republic wireless version (XT1094), the bootloader cannot be unlocked.

MoFo works to root but it does not disable write protection. Costs $20 and you need a paypal with a US address to buy it. I think you can fund the paypal with a prepaid card but you do need a US address.
You have to modify your images prior to flashing since write protection is not disabled.
