The process to have root only works if your phone has 4.4.4 or 5.0. If you have 5.1 it is unrootable. The root process for verizon is with a software called mofo which you have to pay for.

I believe there is a way for you too downgrade , root then keep the root with an update .. not 100% on the method but it is a possibility. You would have to use the new kernel i believe.

I'd probably jump on that. Luckily I'm still back on OE2 so I've got root. But sooner or later AT&T will release 5.1.1 and I'll want it.
Is there a guide to rooting 5.1 with MoFo? Plus are there any free options? I'm willing to pay but $20 is kinda too much for me.
You have 5.1 right now? If so you are out of luck. Mofo and sunshine require you to be on 5.0 or 4.4.4. In which case there is no known way for you to root. Sorry.

I have a moto x 2014 on verizon running android 5.1 and I wanted to know it if was possible to downgrade back down to kit kat. Of course I would need to unlock my boot loader using mofo first, but if i can do that, would it be possible to flash an older device image with kit kat(also without losing my unlocked boot loader)? If not, are there any kitkat roms for the xt1096? I couldn't find any myself.
Thank you.
It's even worse than that. You can't get root so you can't use mofo or sunshine. It is stock only for you. Sorry.
You can't root, unlock your bootloader, nor downgrade. There is absolutely no way currently for xt1096 running 5.1.

Man... You seem to know your stuff. Do you know if there is even anyone working on rooting these?
No idea. Nobody has said anything about it.

Is there any way to root this version on my Moto X? If there isn't would updating allow me to root it?

To be able to root, first you must use kingroot to gain temporary root. After that you can use sunshine to unlock your bootloader. Once your bootloader is unlocked you can use the standard root procedure which is flash TWRP and let it root your phone.

I tried using KingRoot but it didn't work. And is there a tutorial online with a video? Not very familiar with android.

Kingroot does not root the phone. It only makes it possible for sunshine to work via temp root. They say that it is a try various times process. If kingroot does not work, keep trying and eventually it will.

Ok but sunshine costs money. Is there any other method without paying?

Hey Guys,
I have a ATT SM-G925A I just had and insurance replacement. The new one came with 6.01. My original has 5.02 rooted.
Can someone please clarify this, It seems from what I have been reading is that there is no way for me to downgrade the new 6.01 phone back down to the 5.02 version, or root 6.01 either.
Is that factual?
yes. confirmed. can't go back down or root. I believe Sprint or t mobile is still capable of root in marshmallow. never buy phones from AT&T if you want to root.

Or never find one
Just want to make sure before flashing this, are there any problems anyone has experienced after flashing 6.0.1 update??
Thanks!
