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...

I was just referred to this site for guidance on rooting my Verizon XT1096 (Moto X 2014) running Lollipop 5.0. I understand there was a problem with the locked bootloader on this particular device that has been preventing root access. Is this still the problem? Is root still not being achieved? And also, how can I determine if my device has a locked bootloader?
Thanks :angel:
Reboot into fastboot menu it will tell you if its unlocked
There is no root for the Verizon version.
Your phone has a locked bootloader, and unfortunately there is no root for it either. Sorry to say, but you are stuck with a stock phone.

I have a Verizon Moto X 2014 (XT1096) on latest 5.1 update. I just want root. Nothing seems to hell give me root access. I've tried several root apps. (kingo root, kingroot, etc etc) it would be a dream if I could possibly unlock my bootloader. I do have OEM Unlocking enabled in developer options...but it seems to do nothing. Please help. Thank you.

4.4.4 and 5.0 are Mofo rootable. 5.1 this far isn't.
I got a fresh Moto X from AT&T with 5.0.1 on it and was wondering if I can downgrade and unlock? Every android I had I enjoyed the comfort of unlocking and rooting. I need that again.

You can't unlock the bootloader of an AT&T Moto X 2014 no matter what version of Android you are running. You need to sell it and buy the Pure Edition if you want to unlock the bootloader.
Hello,
I'm running a Verizon 2013 Moto X with its bootloader unlocked by SunShine. Will the Lollipop update that is getting pushed out relock the bootloader? I'm anxious about taking the update without knowing if there will be a way to root again afterward.
Thanks!

they never relocked the bootloader with any other phones with updates like the razr hd so they probably wont on the x and its easy to root when you are unlocked just flash super su through a custom recovery
it did not relock my dev edition

How did you unlock via Sunshine? I'm on 4.4.4 and used Kingroot for temp root and sunshine tells me that my device is not compatible.
I took the update and it didn't relock it.
As for SunShine, i used it while I was on 4.4. I waited until I knew I could keep root to take 4.4.4.
I am on VZW non-DE 4.4.4 latest and it's wanting to update ... I don't have the bootloader unlocked and sunshine won't temp root last I tried ... is there any hope in staying on 4.4.4 in the case an exploit is found and 4.4.4 is needed before going to 5.1?

I unlocked via sunshine earlier this year. I used the recovery image (version LPA23.12-39.7) to update to 5.1 rather than taking the OTA. Bootloader is still unlocked.
Keeping Root & wp off when Upgrading Rooted Retail VZW Moto X with wp off to Lollipop
My Retail XT1060 VZW Moto X 2013 (non-dev edition) is rooted with a locked bootloader and write-protection off and running Android 4.4. I would like to upgrade to Lollipop (Android 5.1) while keeping root access and write-protection off. Is this doable?
Follow up thread-jack that seems highly relevant ...
If I have the same exact device and I am not rooted or bootloader unlocked, is there any good reason to wait to apply Lollipop in hopes that an exploit will be released to root/BL unlocked from 4.4.4?
