[Q] If I unlock my Sprint Moto X, I can just root by pushing TWRP and SuperSU?

I have a locked Moto X 4.2.2 (latest camera patch).
I used RockMyMoto to root it and it worked fine.
But now I want to goto KitKat..
From what I think I've read, I could take one of two options
1. Go through the SlapMyMoto process to update to 4.4 Kitkat and stay locked
- This keeps stock recovery and root I think?
OR
2. Unlock my phone officially and just push TWRP and SuperSU with adb/fastboot and I'm done?
Is that right? Is it really that simple to root when you are unlocked? I don't give 2 flips about voiding my warranty

The conversation here is regarding unlocking the phone's bootloader, not unlocking the carrier...

AT&T Moto X - 4.4.4 - Root & Unlock Boot loader?

Is there any root method that will work for an at&t moto x running on 4.4.4 and unlock bootloader? Or am i stuck running stock?

Enjoy stock, you're stuck. Unless you find a bootloader unlock code.
Next time search, this question has been answered too many times already.

Always read the stickies... Like this one from the general section,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2826159
?

What the hell.. c'mon man it's been like 10 years... still not a method.

You may have found some threads on here that recommend Sunshine, a $25 app that you can download (link below). The developers say that it may work for some users that are on 4.4.4. Try it. It will confirm for you whether it will unlock before you pay. It successfully worked for me when I was on 4.2.2. Good luck.

Your bootloader is UNlocked? If so, just flash TWRP recovery, reboot-bootloader, go into TWRP and it should prompt you to root. If not, install SuperSU zip from TWRP.
Now, if your bootloader is still LOCKED, then you are stuck. Sunshine has not worked on ATT XT1058 that has 4.4.4 on it. (and before you ask... no, you can't safely/successfully downgrade all parts of the X in order to use Sunshine).
As for how long its been... As android matures, there are less and less bugs and vulnerabilities to exploit/hack to gain root access if you can't unlock the bootloader. The number of people capable of finding them dwindles too.

That is sad. I tried to use sunshine just now on xt1058. Says I have no root (after attempting temproot).

all I know the Bootloader can not re unlock when you flash stock firmware or update OTA. So you dont need to relock BL after do anything ! Keep Bootloader Unlocked will help you custome your phone easier with root and more !

A certain thread called "[LOLLIPOP WARNING]Those Who Unlocked Via Sunshine or Purchasing a Code from China" says the following:
There is an Enable OEM Unlock option that is appearing in the Developer Options of the N6 and MX14 running 5.1 and if it is not checked, you cannot unlock your bootloader. If you unlocked via Sunshine or purchased a code for your device from the Chinese code seller, we do not know what is going to happen wrt this Enable OEM Unlock option for your phone if you upgrade to 5.1.
Until we do, it is safest to not upgrade and stay unlocked until 5.1 drops and the situation becomes clearer.

There hasn't been any update on the thread since the 5.1 release for the Moto X, so if I were you I would wait... Sunshine has also a support line, so you could also send a ticket and directly ask if they can unlock your bootloader. I'm sure they have seen this case!

you had an xt1058 right ? you updated to 5.1, did your bootloader get relocked ?

It didn't, but I had a Rogers xt1058 that was BL unlocked directly by Motorola and not by Sunshine...
According to Motorola's website, at&t's Moto X cannot be BL unlocked officially, so that's probably why we cannot know what will happen if you update to 5.1.

Root Moto X lolipop

I had it unlocked already. To root it I followed the steps on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fzih8xkki0. It's an old video but it worked for me. I just had to get an updated version of SuperSu and TWRP recovery. That's all.

Steps to unlock bootloader and root xt 1058

I'm getting a used xt1058 att phone. I'm pretty sure it's on jb or kk. How do I unlock bl and root? Should I take all updates up to lollipop? Then unlock and root so I can get it ready for 7.0 build when it comes to our phone?

Is this still able to be rooted?

I'm interested to know as well if the XT1058 variant bootloader can be unlocked as well.
Brillant phone & form factor but unfortunately stuck at Lollipop
