I was interested in the ProtectedApps so I downloaded it, (along with all the other apps needed)
However, I need to get the Xposed Framework and it said that app requires root.
How do I root the phone?
I am a beginner in rooting
Start by searching in the Droid Turbo forum.
You don't.
There is currently no way to root the Turbo if it is running OTA 5.1

I'm on the fence as to if I should root my Droid. I'm getting the message to install the 2.2 ota and part of me wants to take it but I've been wanting to root for a while now.
How much benefit would I get using cm vs stock android?

since i'm getting all these views and no replies, perhaps I should clarify. As far as I can tell, the only thing that really interests me about rooting is the ability to run custom themes and change my boot animation and all that. I've heard that CM is faster than stock android so that's appealing as well, but not as much as the ability to use themes and stuff.
What say you?
if i were you i would update to 2.2 and use easyroot or universalandroot to overclock then wait for a better root to come out where you can load custom roms etc.
Download Universal Androot. Press Root. Then after the process is done, reboot your phone. You are now rooted. After doing so, download ROM Manager (Free version) and flash CWMod Recovery and then install CyanogenMod. Then, buy the Premium Version from the market and while that is downloading, use the App menu in settings to back up your apps to your SD Card after the Premium is done downloading. Go back into ROM Manager and download and install one of jdLfg's kernels. You now have a ludicrously fast phone with a ridiculous amount of themes for your ROM. And all of this will take about 15, maybe twenty minutes at most.
(No, you don't need to wipe to install CyanogenMod)

Wow, thanks. I had no idea I could do it all from the phone like that.
What's the advantage to the paid rom manager vs the free one? Does the paid have access to more stuff?

Pay the few cents and support the dev. This such a useful you won't regret it. Makes and restore of of your ROMsnso much easier.

I don't have a problem supporting the dev, I was just curious if there were additional features in the paid version. You know, to make it worth our while to pay.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App
I believe you have to have the paid version to download ROMs through the app.

@ L or anyone else who can help
I followed your instructions and the ROM manager wont work... should i not have already had 2.2 before doing this?
Universal Androot should have installed Superuser Permissions which should allow RM to install ROMs. If you are "stuck at M" flash SP then flash CWMod Recovery again and try to reinstall the ROM that you want.
And no, it does not matter which update you were running before you rooted. If the RM installs aren't working, then download which ROM you want from the internet and flash that.

UniversalAndroot???
It didn't work. I have stock 2.2 id like 2.2 rooted with chevy ulow1.25 but I can't figure it out.
There is no way to root FRG22D (your likely build) without using RSD Lite to my knowledge.

I just ordered a Moto X Verizon, and I will be rooting it and flashing Eclipse rom onto it. Is there any reason not to take all the OTA updates from Verizon, and then root and do safestrap or? Not sure how it works. I
Thank you
Go read Jcase "slap my moto" thread in original development and after your done....read it again. The many posts in that thread have the answers your looking for pertaining to OTAs and what goes along with rooting the moto x on 4.4

No custom rom for you then unless you install SafeStrap.
Yea I know I'd have to use safestrap. But is the latest OTA root able and safestrapable? Just wanted to be sure before I take the ota update from Verizon

Safestrap is not KK compatible yet AFAIK.
And yes it is rootable. Good amount of work though.

Is there a way to root the at&t xt1097 variant? I don't care about the boot loader I just want TiBu and my xposed again. Any info or help would be appreciated!
Nope. Only the versions with unlockable bootloaders can be rooted. If you are within your return window, I'd suggest returning it and picking up the Pure edition instead. I'm using the Pure on AT&T without any issues, and I'm happily unlocked and rooted.

Any luck with root using chainfire's autoroot for the at&t model? My moto x 2014 is arriving in a week and It would be a bummer if I can't root it. I came from using a nexus 5 with root and custm ROM installed.

Nope, still no root. If root is that important, then return the one that's coming and buy a Pure edition. That's what I have and it works great on AT&T. And I'm unlocked and rooted

Basically, can i use ADB/bootloader (and/or the method in the above link) to install TWRP and SU? Or am I in the total wrong direction?
I'm pretty sure this will only work on moto devices pre Droid Ultra/mini/maxx

This is old and horribly out of date. Won't work on anything newer than ics
Oh OK. My bad, I didn't check the date it was published lol
Is moforoot still currently the only root exploit?

Yes if you are on KitKat 4.4.4. Unless you want to try kingroot. Keep in mind though that neither method disables write protection so you are limited with what you can do with it.
Also keep in mind that kingroot is only temporary (in some cases lasting only about 15 minutes), and oftentimes causes system instability. So basically it's useless unless you really want to see a SU prompt on your screen for some reason.
