I don't know if vzw provides unlock codes.
But what I can say is warranty won't affect your chance of getting an unlock code.
You should check on moto website.
If you enter the imei number they'll tell you whether it can be unlocked

Eh, thanks I was hoping to get it from motorola cause sunshine isn't working either cause it requires root, link of a working root method for locked boot loader would be much appreciated.

No. Moto will never give out the bootloader unlock code on the Non-Developer Edition XT1060 (likely due to their contract with Verizon), and Verizon does not give them out (for dev edition either).
And with the locked bootloader, once 4.4.4 is on your phone, you can't root it.

Its likely for an OLDER ROM.
There were about 3 or 4 different processes for X with a locked bootloader, but it was based on ROM version on the phone (i.e. 4.2.2 w/camera update, 4.4, 4.42). Once 4.4.4 is on there, all past vulnerabilities that were exploited on phones with locked bootloaders have been patched/closed, so if you have 4.4.4 on the phone and can't unlock the bootloader, you can't root.

Nope. You should have bought a xt1095 instead of the at&t.

How to get root?

Hello everybody, i bought XT1058 from AT&T 4.4.4 directly from USA to Germany via simpleshoppinglink.com
And it is no way to get root or open loader. Does it mean that my Moto X no-good and i have to claim for shipping company? If it's possible to solve this trouble with root I will appreciate.

You cannot root or unlock the bootloader of an XT1058 running 4.4.4. You should have bought the XT1053 GSM Developer Edition or the TMobile Moto X if you wanted to unlock and root it.

If this is a republic wireless version (XT1094), the bootloader cannot be unlocked.

MoFo works to root but it does not disable write protection. Costs $20 and you need a paypal with a US address to buy it. I think you can fund the paypal with a prepaid card but you do need a US address.
You have to modify your images prior to flashing since write protection is not disabled.
