I just get my moto X 2014, when I try to unlock the bootloader it says your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking.
My CID is 0x001
On motorola forum they said that AT&T devices are not unlockable
Then I just don't understand why there are so many mod, flashable ZIP on XDA for ATT XT1097
It is unlockable, how to you flash a TWRP to flash them

Only the 1097 from AT&T cannot be unlocked. All the other 1097 models can be unlocked which is why there is mods, roms and twrp for those.
Sorry, but you can't unlock, flash twrp, nor use custom roms on the AT&T model.

Put 'Motorola unlock bootloader" in a search box. Look at the Youtube video before you go to the unlock website.
Here's the link to make it easier for you.
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/
Due note that this voids your warranty completely by requesting an unlock code. Even if you don't decide to use the code.
I have successfully unlocked via Motorola website. But now I don't know how to root my GSM Dev Editions xt1053

That is exactly the information I used to mfastboot flash TWRP recovery and flash the Supersu zip in TWRP for root. Worked perfectly.
If someone has a T-Mobile carrier unlocked moto x can they unlock the boot loader (T-Mobile let's you) and then use it on att without any I issues?

You don't have to unlock the bootloader to use it on att. Unlocking the bootloader just give you options for a custom recovery and flashing roms, etc.
The unlocked version is just that. You can put any gsm Sim card you want in it and it will work. LTE will vary according to the carrier you put it on with regards to frequencies used.

Yeah, I wanted to know if could also unlock the boot loader because the att model is unlockable. But a T-Mobile can have an unlocked bootloader and if it is unlocked carrier as well then you could have a non developer custom moto x with unlocked boot loader on att. Just curious if it us possible.
To answer your question: yes, you can unlock the bootloader. Doing so will void your warranty unless you buy the developer edition though.

Hello,
I'm pretty new to this but I would like to know if the root method is still the same after the 4.4.3 OTA. Also, does this phone (Moto X DE) already come with an unlocked bootloader? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The developer editions come with an unlockABLE bootloader. You can unlock free from Moto's website, and it does not void your warranty (Developer edition only).
Assuming you unlocked your bootloader, the root method (for unlocked users) is SIMILAR on 4.4.3. You will need new versions of TWRP and SuperSU. See the first post here for TWRP / SuperSU versions that work on 4.4.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...unlocked-twrp-2-6-3-1-android-t2534850/page48
If you are talking about using a root 'exploit', this is not possible. The exploit was patched in 4.4.3. If you want root on 4.4.3 or later, you MUST unlock your bootloader, and not try to use an 'exploit' to root it.
This clear it all up?
Yes and thank you for the prompt response. So as long as I unlock the bootloader first and use the files that you provided links for. I should be good rooting my Developer Edition Moto X? Also, anyway you can provide a link with the info I need to unlock the bootloader?

Hey OP
what color is the back of your phone? Your signature suggests you have the t-mobile variant which if you unlock the bootloader youll end the warranty.

XT1053 is the model number for the GSM Dev Edition, AND The GSM Unlocked (ships with T-Mobile SIM) Moto Maker edition, aka T-Mobile varient.
The only difference is the Dev Edition being the standard black face, woven white back, silver accents (buttons and camera ring), only comes as 32Gig and says Dev Edition on the back.
You are correct, while the bootloader unlock code is available from Moto's web site for the XT1053, completing the request for the code voids the warranty unless you have a Developer Edition.

Link to get bootloader unlock code from Moto -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a but but if yours is NOT the Dev Edition, it will void your warranty.
Yes, unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, boot to TWRP and install SuperSU.
I suggest these instructions for ADB and MFastboot setup -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/ADB.htm
For Rooting the X with unlocked bootloader I usually point to -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/instructions-unlocking-rooting-dev-ed-t2649738 However, while the process is correct, there is a newer TWRP (which @samwathegreat has pointed you to http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/MotoX/TWRP-2.7.0.0-moto_msm8960dt.img ), and there is a newer SuperSU (see -> http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip )
EDIT: Official TWRP -> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost

If I am reading everything correctly, the att version is xt1097 and has a locked bootloader. There is no way to unlock the bootloader and there is no root method for a moto x bought from att. Am I correct in this assumption? :crying:

Yes you are correct. The original Moto X (carrier locked) bootloaders can be unlocked using "Sunshine", there is a potential it will become available for the 2014 version in the future, but I don't think it will be anytime soon.
Secondly, there is no reason to get the AT&T version because rumor is Motorola is going to enable all the AT&T supported LTE bands in the Pure version: http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-x-pure-edition-xt1095-may-soon-get-more-lte-bands

It depends on which xt1058 it is. If it's the at&t variant, u cannot unlock the bootloader. If it's any other non-us carrier, u can unlock the bootloader...

For the Developer Editions Moto X, and some carrier editions (Like T-Mobile, Sprint and others), Motorola freely gives away the BootLoader Unlock codes when requested On Motorola's Web SIte. In the case of the Non-Developer Editions, it voids their warranty to request the code.
I'm not going to go into the reasons why, but Moto does NOT give out the bootloader unlock code for the Retail and Moto Maker X for Verizon, ATT and a few other carriers.
That is why you will see people ask what carrier.
One last note...
IF you get a 2013 X for ATT or Verizon, AND the phone is still on 4.4.2 or lower AND the bootloader is NOT 30.B7, you can use Sunshine to unlock the bootloader.
NOTE: once the phone has 4.4.2, 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 on it, you can NOT Safely downgrade it!!! And there is no way to downgrade the bootloader (even on Dev Edition models).
thanks i got the XT1058 ATT model but i am having bootloader BO.4 which is a good sign and i have android 4.4.2 so i can unlock with sunshine root. thanks for replying
Raj
you saved me form lots of regret my friend, i will keep cancelling updates until i can pay for sunshine. i have boot loader 30.b4 thanks a lot for your suggestion
Is there no other way to unlocked BL XT1058 ?
My previous phone is dead, but the data was backup via TitaniumBackup.
Without unlocked bl, i can not root... Without root, i can't restore my data via TitaniumBackup
*sigh* I guess i bought the wrong phone?

Correct. If you have an ATT XT1058, Sunshine was the only option to unlock the bootloader. And to use it, you needed to be on 4.4.2 or lower, and never had 4.4.4 or higher on your phone.
IF you have a Rogers Canada XT1058 or other non-ATT XT1058, you should be able to get your bootloader unlock code directly from Moto's web site.
