I have a stock T-Mo Moto X which was dropped and the screen is not usable but the phone boots up. I cannot interact with the touch screen. How can I backup the contents of the device via ADB or some other means and how can I wipe the device without being able to interact with the touchscreen?
Bump
No one has any input here?

Won't work as I cannot even enable USB Debugging to get ADB to work. I cant see or touch the screen.... Well I can activate Cerberus Shell but I don't have root. What can I do from this shell?
I know you noted it was stock, I assume that means no custom recovery? Would it be possible to flash one (if BL is unlocked)? If the BL is locked, don't unlock it because it will wipe data...

Nope, pure stock. Check my latest edit though.

What is the past of least resistance to root a 4.4 tmo X? In order to keep data, is it still that insanely long process?

WIth the T-Mobile variant you have two choices to root..
1. Unlock bootloader, flash twrp recovery, boot into twrp and install SU (or use TWRP's option to root). But this voids your warranty (since you don't have the developer edition), and unlocking the boot loader will wipe your device and data.
2. Use SlapMyMoto which has a lot of manual steps, and you need to reboot to "recovery" (well its modified and you don't have recovery), when you want R/W ability. (Or you have to also do the MotoWpNoMo process to gain R/W full time). But this has many steps.

thanks - re #1, will upgrades be painful i.e., new OTAs?

OTA's will be more painful with #2 as there will be more to restore to stock. And of course the unknowns of if the new OTA will be rootable or not, and how long before a root process comes out.
For #1, you should be able to just put stock recovery back and take the OTA, then reflash TWRP and re-root.

You can unlock the Sprint & Tmo version. No dev edition required.

and what if you have the T-Mobile Moto X, haven't got the email to unlock bootloader and you can't get adb to recognize device?

Well, if you don't have an unlocked bootloader, SlapMyMoto (which now incorporates the MotoWpNoMo process into its steps) is the only way (there have been some efforts to consolidate/automate the process). And may not be usable if you're already on 4.4.2 (taking the 4.4.2 OTA update or flashing the full 4.4.2 SBF prevents you from flashing older ROMs which is a crucial step in using SlapMyMoto).
I've not see a 4.4.2 specific root process for locked bootloaders yet, but to be honest, I have a unlocked bootloader, so I haven't been completely paying attention.
If you have an unlocked bootloader, root process is still the same.
there is not going to be any new way to root 4.4 is not going to get a new exploit because 4.4.2 is out and Devs are working on finding a way to root it so the people with locked bootloaders can update.
if you want to root your device you have allready been giving the only 2 ways to do it
Locked bootloader - SlapMyMoto
Unlocked bootloader - Customer Recovery and SUPERSU
please dont bump your thread for info you allready have.
here is a link to both guides for both methods and a guide for unlocking your bootloader.

I'm currently rooted with 4.4 using the slapmymoto method. I'm ready to void my warranty by unlocking my bootloader via Motorola. Is it recommended to unlock the bootloader the way the phone is set up now, or should I go back to factory 4.4 and then unlock the bootloader? I'm just trying to make sure I don't brick my phone.
Thanks

Doesn't matter how you do it. It will work fine.
Just know that unlocking the bootloader will WIPE YOUR DATA. That means everything that was stored on your SD card is not gone.

Humm.... Not really sure. I thought it loaded a modified version of the stock recovery, but with write protection disabled. If this is the case, then it will still wipe your data.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge chimes in. I have not used slapmymoto since I unlocked my bootloader.
SlapMyMoto 1.0 does not touch the recovery. Your recovery is completely stock. MotoWPNoMo disables write protection for the system. I unlocked my bootloader while rooted via SlapMyMoto and retained root so I did not have to flash a custom recovery to gain root. However, there is nothing wrong with playing it safe and flashing back to stock and then you unlocking your bootloader.

Once you unlock your bootloader write protection is disabled.

You can if you want to play it safe, but if you are already rooted with SlapMyMoto then you really don't have to. The only issues you may run into is if you modified the system and there is an ota update.

is there a way to root an unlock bootloader running stock 5.1
im on the pure edition.
You have to go to settings > developer options > oem unlocking. Turn that on. Then you can do the normal process to unlock the bootloader.

Flash twrp recovery,then choose reboot to system. Before rebooting, it should offer to root your phone if your phone is not rooted. That should work.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk
If you're unlocked, flash TWRP and do whatever you'd like to do. Flash the latest SuperSU ZIP or install CM. That's the benefit of an unlocked bootloader...

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

Not through sideload no. You can flash it with RSDLite or fastboot, but only if your bootloader is unlocked.

No.
However you can unlock your bootloader with sunshine. After you unlock it, then you can do it.
