Yes Motorola unlock bootloader website, after you unlock you need to flash twrp 4.4 recovery with Motorola fastboot( mfastboot) mfastboot flash recovery twrp 2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img and then put supersu on the sdcard and fire up recovery and install supersu and welcome to the root club
Edit you can not flash or accept the ota with a custom recovery, it will bootloop, but you have options, 1 reinstall stock recovery or flash system and stock recovery if you have altered the system. 2 flash a updated sbf firmware , they are available soon after the ota's come out. I would suggest the later as some people, including me have had issues flashing twrp after accepting a ota

Hey, what type of mtoo x did you get your wife? the regular moto x or a developers edition? I currently have a developers edition and I believe that I just have to install custom recovery and install SU since the dev edition already have an unlocked bootloader, right? what I want to do is buy a custom moto x (non-dev edition) and root it. Is that possible?
I have a moto x 2013 with an unlocked bootloader. I was on 4.4.2 and I decided to take the OTA. After flashing stock 4.4.2 and updating I flashed TWRP and my custom boot animation. It would no longer turn wifi on which I had solved in the past by reflashing stock. I stupidly tried to do this, and realize now that I have the 4.4.4 bootloader with 4.4.2 images. Is there anything I can do? Is there any way to flash 4.4.4?
Edit: I flashed TWRP and copied the ota to the sd card from a otg drive. I then flashed back the stock 4.4.2 recovery and used it to install the ota zip. I do not recommend others try this as I have no idea how safe it is. Avoid getting in this situation to begin with.
Now I need to know if I can try flashing TWRP again and what I did wrong with that last time? Or was it the boot logo/animation?

You're fine to flash TWRP. The issues was you re-flashed it before taking the update last time. To update to 4.4.4 you have to do a stock restore to 4.4.2 first then install the update.

I am almost certain that I flashed it after taking the update. The update won't flash with anything other than the stock recovery. It was probably user error of some sort when flashing.

Is stock lollipop or you just flash a different version of your phone model? Every zip with stock IMG files has the recovery.img you are looking for, just download the correct version for you.

I have a rooted 2013 Moto X (XT-1053) running 4.4. How can I update it to 5.1? OTA has failed. Thanks!
Easiest way? Full unroot. Download original 4.4.4 Rom for your phone. Extract recovery.img and system.img then flash manually both files with mfastboot (required to flash system.img). Reboot and download/install OTA

I was running a rooted rom and my bootloader is unlocked.
But i wanted to flash the 5.1 ota.
So I was trying to flash the stock image so that I could unroot and flash the 5.1 ota.
I used the Moto X Multitool and used option 4:
flash back to total stock unrooted rom and recovery-full-wipe
How do I flash a rom? It doesn't matter what. I don't want to send it back to Motorola.
Adb is working but fastboot is not working.
EDIT:
I rebooted into the bootloader and flashed TWRP.
Everything is working perfect again
Now I'm stuck in this recovery screen:
Can you get back into the bootloader and did you try doing a factory reset?
