somebody please help on the rooting situation

I'm a bit confused on the vzw moto x. Here's why-
My brother has the razor m. Well roms are only avialable if u didn't take the ota. Cause the ota locked the bootloader and every rom dev is still only making roms for the unlocked bootloader. They are not making roms for the locked bootloader. And i Don't want to be in that situation.
And the moto x just had a ota to.
So is there roms for the vzw moto x after the ota, or only before the ota?
One person said I had to get the developers edition (I think)..well Iwent to vzw and the sales rep said they don't carry a developers edition, and that he said "Idont think there is one for this phone".
So what's the deal abt roming a vzw moto x? I know very well abt safestrap, and twrp and that roms are only compatible with one another and not both...
Thanks

Before the update you can root and load safestrap, after the update you are screwed (there are some caveats but that's the basic consensus).
Big Red sales reps want to sell you a phone they have, why would they direct you to Motorola to buy a phone? http://www.motorola.com/us/shop-all...Verizon/moto-x-developer-edition-verizon.html

650$!!!!! Is there no way to get it at an upgrade price? That's fn crazy

Yes. There is no way to get it at the upgrade price because it's sold by Motorola, not Verizon.

[Q] Cost of Unlock Bootloader

Heard you have to pay for this, can anyone tell me the cost?
Looking to buy this phone so couldnt login and check

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.

AT&T Bootloader Unlock?

I was searching for AT&T roms, and came across this website http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_xt1058. It looks like it tells you how to unlock the bootloader for AT&T and non us GSM phones. Has anyone tried this. Is this how to unlock the bootloader on the att moto x so we can install roms. I figured I'd ask before I brick my phone trying it.
Thanks

Unless you have the at&t developer edition you can not unlock your bootloader. You must go to the Motorola bootloader unlocking website to get a unlocking code

[Q] What are the advantages of Dev Edition?

What are the advantages, if any, of the Moto X Developer Edition? Right now it is a $50 premium for the dev edition, but if I can accomplish the same thing on my own with a regular Moto X, is it really worth the extra $50?

the only thing you will see is it allows you to unlock the bootloader which makes rooting possible on all OTA's because you can just flash a customer recovery.
also when you unlock the bootloader on a consumer Moto X you void warranty when you do it on a DE Moto X it dose not.

Also, you get 32gb vs 16gb of storage.

The Dev Edition is also 32 GB, so it's actually the same price as the 32 GB carrier edition.

Can you do a full nandroid on the regular edition?
Also, I've read on twitter the non-dev edition may be locked down for good on 4.4.2.
If you want root, you may as well get the Dev edition to guarantee it.

If you don't care about the astheitcs then yes it's worth it!! You get an unlocked bootloader ANd Motorola will still backup up the warranty. As to what extent they will back the warranty you would have to ask customer service.
Hope that helps

The bigger question would be why would someone want to downgrade the firmware as each new firmware release "upgrades" the bootloader. So it appears that once you accept a firmware update on your phone there's no going back. If there is something about the update you can't tolerate you appeared to be screwed, even with a dev ed. At least that's what I'm piecing together. I have a VZ dev ed and will try to flash the modem and system files to see what happens when 4.4.2 comes out as I'd like to keep my options open if for some reason I want to downgrade. FWIW, I've been on android since the original droid and never felt compelled to downgrade but like the warm and fuzzy feeling of knowing that I can if I want.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

4.4.2 isn't out on vzw yet? When it does come out, it sounds like it should be possible to flash it without flashing the bootloader? What effect does the bootloader have on custom roms?
Sorry for some of the newb questions, but my Galaxy Nexus didn't have any issues/concerns with the bootloader that I'm aware of. It was just flash whatever and go.

No. That is an example of why you shouldn't try to downgrade your bootloader. That person's problem was NOT that he was running an old system. It was that he was running a two-versions-old system and then tried to take an OTA meant to upgrade a bootloader from two-versions-old to one-version-old (i.e. 4.2.2 bootloader to 4.4 bootloader but he was already running 4.4.2 bootloader) -- which all translates into he was (however inadvertently) trying to downgrade his bootloader from 4.4.2 version to 4.4

Can't be done. Unlocked bootloader is necessary for this phone to write to system. Right now (on Verizon/Motorola Marshmallow update) you couldn't unlock the bootloader, even if you wanted to.
Whereas BEFORE the Marshmallow update you could have easily rooted the phone after unlocking the bootloader.
THEN, you could have fearlessly updated to Marshmallow and still retained the unlocked bootloader and all rooting rights.
We told everyone to unlock before updating, if they ever wanted root.

Why didn't you unlock before updating to Marshmallow? You've had since November 2015, when Sunshine team cracked the Droid Turbo bootloader. Marshmallow was released early December 2016. And everyone was warned to stop procrastinating and unlock the bootloader, before taking that update.
If you only bought the phone in the past month and it was already on Marshmallow, then your fault for not researching prior to buying -- IF that is so important to you. It's been discussed over and over and over in this forum.

Haha I think my youtube responses made him mad. I guess they were kinda dickish. In my defense though, when people keep asking the same question over and over again, I have to do something to keep it interesting.

I was already unlocked before the mm update and lost root ....I'm STILL unlocked (bootloader) how do I get root back?

Flash the older beta SuperSu 2.72 for initial root. After you reboot and confirm root, then you can update to the latest SuperSu. It's mentioned in all the 6.0.1 update threads.

Yes. You download and install via TWRP. How did you get root before?
Do you have TWRP custom recovery? And if not, why not?
Your bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is amazing, even just for being able to go back in time to undo any mistakes (restore backup). But also lets you flash zipped files like SuperSu.

You'll need a computer to get TWRP on there. After that, you won't need one anymore. You need to download the TWRP image you want, copy it into the same folder as fastboot.exe and flash it using the command fastboot flash recovery [twrp image file name].

Since someone dug up this old thread, let me reply to my own post from several months ago, as it's now outdated. As of right now, Sunshine CAN unlock any Droid Turbo bootloader from the past two years. And if you have firmware before that (older), just update to more recent.

Don't ask how you got it? OK, I won't, but you are implying less than honest effort.
However, you managed to get the ONE Quark with a Verizon locked-down bootloader. Why didn't you get a better one? Better for your purposes which is to avoid paying anything.
You live in Latin America, and somehow ended up with the U.S. Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254. Whereas, the Moto Maxx XT1225 is the Latin America Quark with the FREE bootloader unlock code. (Moto Turbo XT1225 was sold in India, but is the exact same phone as the Moto Maxx XT1225)
The Moto Maxx XT1225 was sold in at least Chile, Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. I bought THREE of these "Latin America" phones and I live in the U.S. Sort of the opposite of you! But I bought the "Latin America" Quark because it was the better phone for me -- unlocked bootloader and has all the AT&T LTE bands. (I wouldn't mind paying for bootloader unlock if I had to, what was important for me was the AT&T carrier bands.)
Venezuela is right next to Brazil, and the same continent as Chile. Why are you getting a United States Droid Turbo, when don't need CDMA bands and the Latin America Moto Maxx XT1225 is a much better phone for you with free bootloader unlock? (Yes, all the Quarks have the popular Latin America LTE bands 3 & 7. But the XT1225 is also "better" because of more HSPA bands, and 64GB storage. Most of the used Droid Turbos popping up in other countries seem to be 32GB.)
Next time, if you care about free bootloader unlock, don't get a Verizon phone. There's other Quarks, and even other phones. You're lucky there's any bootloader unlock at all for the Droid Turbo -- and that's only thanks to Sunshine. Many people are grateful to the Sunshine team.
But no one forced you to "buy" (steal?) this phone in South America. So, no -- no one is going to pay for your Sunshine bootloader unlock.

Don't ask how you got it? OK, I won't, but you are implying less than honest effort.
However, you managed to get the ONE Quark with a Verizon locked-down bootloader. Why didn't you get a better one? Better for your purposes which is to avoid paying anything.

Friend, do not insinuate things that are not (treats with respect) ... I did not steal it, I bought this phone because it is cheaper than the others ... if it was difficult to get this for its price imagine the others ... I am glad for You and your pockets full of money
