hi everyone! i have at&t moto x 2014 xt1097 curruntly at stock 5.1 with locked bootloader. i want to update it with stock marshmallow firmware but can't find it at the motofirmware centre (at least not for at&t version). any help will be appreciated.
There is no at&t marshmallow firmware.
If you did not accept the security updates from October (Android security patch level 2016-08-01), then you can use Kingroot and Sunshine ($ 25) to temp-root and bootloader unlock your device, and install some non-at&t firmware, see Root and Bootloader Unlock AT&T XT1097 on 5.1.
If you're device is patched, then this path is closed and you are out of luck.

unfortunately i have the updates installed. i heard that to install any motorola stock firmware the only requirment was unlocked bootloader. do i have to root too? or just unlock bootloader?
Your information is correct. But you cannot simply unlock this bootloader. The At&t xt1097 bootloader cannot be unlocked through the Motorola service.

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.
i have unlocked the bootloader of my Moto G and rooted it, but still on stock rom. So, will i still get updates from Motorola.
If not will I get updates if i unroot and lock my bootloader. if yes can i know how ?
Thanks In Advance
Model No : XT1068
You'll still get updates with updated bootloader. However, you won't get OTA updated if you've rooted your phone.
When there's a news of an update, just flash the factory images and wait for ota. No need of locking bl

Hello,
I'm running a Verizon 2013 Moto X with its bootloader unlocked by SunShine. Will the Lollipop update that is getting pushed out relock the bootloader? I'm anxious about taking the update without knowing if there will be a way to root again afterward.
Thanks!

they never relocked the bootloader with any other phones with updates like the razr hd so they probably wont on the x and its easy to root when you are unlocked just flash super su through a custom recovery
it did not relock my dev edition

How did you unlock via Sunshine? I'm on 4.4.4 and used Kingroot for temp root and sunshine tells me that my device is not compatible.
I took the update and it didn't relock it.
As for SunShine, i used it while I was on 4.4. I waited until I knew I could keep root to take 4.4.4.
I am on VZW non-DE 4.4.4 latest and it's wanting to update ... I don't have the bootloader unlocked and sunshine won't temp root last I tried ... is there any hope in staying on 4.4.4 in the case an exploit is found and 4.4.4 is needed before going to 5.1?

I unlocked via sunshine earlier this year. I used the recovery image (version LPA23.12-39.7) to update to 5.1 rather than taking the OTA. Bootloader is still unlocked.
Im on BOI2 firmware unlocked att 920A. How i can update my phone to latest mm build would be able to retain unlock status which was done officially?
I don't think that will affect your sim unlocking status. If your phone was officially unlocked by at&t there won't be a problem upgrading it to MM.
I was just wondering if I still need to use sunshine (ie pay) to unlock bootloader now that there is this magisk thing on the quark scene now....
Yes, you will always need to unlock the bootloader of these Motorola phones. Magisk hides root and system alterations from apps that don't like it.
You will have to use Sunshine to unlock your bootloader for the Droid Turbo XT1254. There's no other way. Magisk and other stuff like iSu are just used to camouflage the changes you have made.
You can't have permanent root in the first place until you unlock your bootloader. You don't need Magisk if you don't have an unlocked bootloader and don't have root.
And luckily Sunshine has been available since November 2015, unless you took the most recent OTA MCG24.251-5-5, released March 1, 2017 (not to be confused with MCG24.251-5).

Yes, Sunshine works on Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254 firmware:
SU4TL-44 (Lollipop)
SU4TL-49 (Lollopop)
MCG24.251-4 (Marshmallow)
MCG24.251-5 (Marshmallow)
It does NOT work (yet) on MCG24.251-5-5, the very latest OTA update released March 1, 2017.
