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.

I been looking for the ota kitkat for sprint moto x but the only one I came across seems to be bricking peoples phones. Anyone know of one that is working.
It doesn't brick you just need to read the sprint thread on how to flash kit kat, I'm on it with root and had no issues

OK thank you. I'll probably just have wait cause I don't have access to a computer for a couple weeks.
Probably people not reading or taking out the right lines in the XML. Need to delete a line in there before putting it up on RSD lite and returning to stock. If it's on the official firmware sites it won't brick your phone.

I was thinking about getting a Moto X due to having an mf3 locked down bootloader. However, it looks like the development is completely dead for this device. Is the bootloader completely locked down for the AT&T version? Just wondering why these forums are so dead. What about rooting with 4.4.2? Thanks

They're dead because the stock software is just that good. There is no real need to hack it up because it's fine as it is.
That's what I figured.. Is there any problems with rooting 4.2.2?

Use RockMyMoto for 4.2.2. Use SlapMyMoto if going to 4.4.
So with the new 4.4.2 slap my Moto works perfectly rooting the phone?

Yes, but he's asking about root. If he's flashing 4.4.2 ROMs, he's already rooted and it's a moot point.
Just picked up my Moto X 2014 on AT&T today and the motorola website won't get me my key. What's the deal?
Did you get the AT&T variant? You can't unlock the bootloader on it. You would have to get the Pure Edition from Motorola.

So there's no way to get a custom rom and root? Stuck with this bloatware? That's seriously disappointing.
There is root using Mofo. Check it out here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/noob-guide-rooting-verizon-moto-x-2014-t3097375. It won't unlock the bootloader but will give root. It also doesn't disable write protection do you will lose any changes made to /system after a reboot. But it's all the carrier versions have right now.

I am looking to upgrade to this phone. Is it easy to root for Verizon?

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.

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.
