Hello, I have a question about rooting my Moto X v5.1 (build LPAS23.12-39.7-1). See, it was bought from Verizon, but it is unlocked, so I switched to T-Mobile, not sure if i'm suppose to follow the root tutorial for Verizon models still. I entered the recovery mode and saw that the bootloader is indeed locked. Sorry i'm really new at this and pretty confused, if you need any more info about my phone please ask and I will provide. Also, if you have a tutorial link that would be great as well, seen too many that have different steps than each other and don't want to brick my device. Thanks a lot!

I just came from an s4 and this might not be feasible on the moto x.
Basically you flash the kernel from an earlier release. Then you root and flash the original kernel. Here is a link to the process to help describe what I am talking about. Just wonder if we can use rsd lite to do the same thing.

I have the att version on 4.4.4 can't unlock bootloader
Anyone have any ideas?
I came from an s4 as well. The root method is very unclear for moto x. The thread that supposedly tells you how to do it says <insert guide here>. After reading about bugs on lollipop, I'm not sure I want to install it. I've got 2 more weeks before I need to decide whether to keep it..
I came from a Galaxy S4 too and I'm still new to Motorola, and I have to say that root was fairly easy to achieve, just follow the tutorial on the thread below, it can't go wrong:

Now @hector12t, if the bootloader on your device can't be unlocked there's no way to get SU access, at least for the moment.
having trouble unlocking the bootloader on my xt1092 no carrier.. moto website keeps saying its not supported.. have removed all the spaces in the string but still no joy.. its a uk version if this helps

My phone moto x 2dn gen x1097 model is unlocked from AT&T , will it be possible to get update marshmallow with out flashing and I want to keep this phone under warranty.
Appreciate your response
You either flash (unlocked bootloader) or you wait for an OTA update. Your choice.
So the folks on this forum are my last hope before I give up. I bought an XT1049 on ebay (I know, mistake!) because I wanted to try Republic Wireless, and the phone has KitKat running on it - far superior to Lollipop on the Moto X in my opinion. I got the phone - great condition, and KitKat was everything I remembered (silky smooth, much longer battery time) vs. the laggy dog of Lollipop I have on my old Moto X. This should be great, right? Wrong. Turns out it's not a RW phone. Says XT1049 on the back, when I plug it into my laptop it says XT1049, but after emails with RW support and community, this is not an RW phone. The ROM is different and they don't recognize the IMEI. Sigh....
Take it to AT&T store and a Metro PCS store to see if I can get it to work on either of their networks. Guy at Metro PCS pops in a sim card, changes out Access Point Names, then tells me the phone is "network locked", and he can't do anything for me. He said it's possible to unlock it, but I'd have to know what network it was locked by. Well, it's not RW, but I don't know who or what to do at this point.
The System Version is 161.44.38.ghost_row.ACGLTE.en.US, which I've found is "ACG Regional Carriers" - which seems like bad news to me. I don't think that network - or collection of networks - would work for me in any reasonable way.
So my question - is there any way I can get this phone unlocked to work on a legit GSM network like AT&T, or preferably T-mobile? Or am I just chasing my tail and need to take this as a lesson learned? The phone works remarkably well, so I don't want to brick it. I can use it as a secondary phone at home - just with no data/calls. But I would love to find a way to use this if I can figure a way to unlock this.
Thanks in advance for your help! (I realized this should be posted in the Q&A section, but can't seem to find a way to delete this or move to Q&A.)
Is your device bootloader was unlocked?
Try to unlock the bootloader if it will unlocked so there was a chance to use this phone with gsm

Thanks, Shabby! I finally got time to do this. Yes, my bootloader can be unlocked. I'm a total noob to this though, so really don't know what to do next. I haven't unlocked yet, just got the email from Motorola with my Unlock code.
Any guidance you can provide for unlocking GSM would be greatly appreciated!
Is your phone asking for code?

Friends,
I tried to do root in Moto X4, I followed XDA's own tutorials and I could not. I searched several links, some asking to download the modified boot.img, among others.
I unlocked the phone and now you have an unlock message. Can you get this message out?
Someone got root because I can not do it at all. I can root on other Motorola models, but this Moto X4 does not. Thank you for your help.
The title is misleading but can you help us help you? What model of the moto x4 do you own and what firmware are you on?

Sorry for the title, I'm new to the forum.
Moto X4 1900-6, I'm using the factory rom stock. However, yesterday I traded for US firmware, Android One, and got root success. After researching a lot, I found an article saying that it was easier to do root using the US firmware.
ok, least you have it working.
If you want to get rid of the unlocked bootloader text that appears during booting, you can just flash another boot logo
Greetings, I just picked up the Moto e5 Supra (cricket wireless). Gotta say the 5,000mah battery is awesome and the waterproofing is a nice feature. After not having an android since Note 2 I decided to move back from Apple after my iPhone 6s Plus had issues with the digitizer board flexing. Found this beauty of a phone for a great deal at a local Cricket store for $150..
I guess i have a few questions about this phone and rooting. To start can anyone confirm that this is the same as the Moto E5 Plus? Below is my phones info. Basically looking for confirmation. Also any other info on this phone and rooting/ROMS would be appreciated. it's been a while since i last had my Note 2.

According to this, it is in fact the e5 Plus with a different name.
I have the Boost Mobile (Sprint) E5 Plus XT1924-8 and it's the same specs. I was able to unlock the bootloader and root via the instructions on the E5 forum, just have to make sure to make a backup in TWRP.
Please help me unlock my bootloader. I have the cricket wireless varient. Says its ineligible to be unlocked. XT1924-6
It can't be done if it's from Cricket
any updates on this?
I just found this in my developer options for me e5 supra... this means I shpuld be good to go right?

I am actually getting ready to start the root process myself I do remember about Motos was that the carrier didn't matter because Motorola comes unlocked . the carrier can hide that from you but the unlock process was actually on the Motorola website if you go to motorola.com or.net or whatever it is all the instructions you need are there to unlock the bootloader mode which by the way he happens to be the hardest part of the whole process all of its easy . I don't mind helping out where I can mix anyone needs it but TBH I'm not nearly as experienced as most these guys

try the lolinet website for moto E5 Plus (hannah) if your on cricket. flash the factory firmware and it has to be a build equivalent to whats currently flashed or newer.
