So this is the tool for 32 bit systems. 64bit wip. But figured id share it to see if anyone wants to try when it comes available
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/root-tool-dirtycow-apk-adb-t3525120
This is not for the g4 nor is it garantied to work. But like i say new roots come out everyday. May be a start for anything above zv6.
This is for reading rite now again for 32 bit not 64 so if yall go trying it and brick. Its not my fault or the devs who posted the tool
Youve been warned!!!!!!
32bit is only for Lolllipop and G4 Lollipop is already rootable I believe.

buddy I believe your wrong theres a few threads and sites. what is is.
is that the system itself app xposed and everything g4 is actually 64 bit based running on top on a 32 bit arch for the hexcore setup to work its a 32 bit but if u ever flashed xposed or anything even on lolli its all 64 arch
so rite now the 32 bit tool will not work.
As far as I know you still will need an unlocked bootloader to get dirty cow to root a device. I have the LG v521 and the only reason it's able to be rooted is because you can unlock the bootloader. The other non t-mobile variants cannot root the same way because they can't unlock the bootloader.

I really HATE to have to post this and I will do so quite reluctantly....
I am certainly NOT a noob when it comes to Android, rooting, etc. But, the X is my first Moto android phone. I recently purchased mine via CTO with the AT&T Kitkat leak already installed. The person I bought it from claims there is NO WAY to gain root. He said he installed the leak via stock recovery.
The leak I'm running is 140.44.3.ghost_att.ATT.en.US.
Can anyone who's kind enough and well versed in Moto devices explain to me HOW I can how I can gain root on this leak and/or get Safestrap TWRP installed and if not, will I still be able to receive OTA updates being that the bootloader is locked and the stock recovery is intact? I just don't understand enough about Moto devices. I've searched and searched and can't really find the answers myself otherwise I wouldn't post here on XDA like the moron that I am.
I have a hard time accepting that I can't gain root despite not being able to unlock the bootloader. I realize that certain versions are only compatible with Safestrap (I hope I'm understanding that correctly) but, again I don't understand enough of how Moto's work. I've always had Samsung's or HTC's which are SUPER easy to use via ADB, etc.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ragna... I haven't. I appreciate the help greatly. Moto's are so different from anything I'm used to and being that I am not starting out from a stock position makes it even more confusing.

You might want to check out whether your phone is bootloader unlockable. I think you should be able to flash 4.4 on it completely soon, I would suggest holding out until then.
By the way, welcome to the Moto X camp.

To get back to stock all you need to do is download the 4.2.2 stock firmware images and then use rsdlite to install them... Assuming you have adb anyway configured, it only takes a few minutes.
From there you can do a fresh install of the 4.4 ota or take the steps to get 4.4 ota with root.

I wasn't certain because it was flashed over. I'm running on a Verizon ROM and frankly I wouldn't have known it was a Latin America version if I got it like that. So... Oh well. I suppose the probability that it is an AT&T version is much higher. In that case, OP's SOL for a bootloader unlock. Lol

I'm just reading your post now but, this is exactly what I did... I just used RDS Lite to return to stock 4.2.2 and then OTA'd to 4.4 and now I'm gonna use jcase's exploit to gain root. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFO GUYS!

Thanks Ragna. I appreciate the info and being the "welcome wagon", LOL. Yeah - I'm obviously on the AT&T version (not a Dev Edition) so my BL is unlockable which - is complete bulls**t. I don't get why Moto has to pull this crap or why AT&T gives a rats ass what we do with our phones.
I was able to root my Verizon on 4.4 Just take your time and read thoroughly.
It's sort of a rough set of instructions not for the faint of heart.

Yea... So I've read. Telnet is SO old school... Was kinda surprised to see that as part of the process. I haven't yet taken the plunge but will probably eventually go for it. Just a little confused since I'm already on stock 4.4 so I'm not sure if I should start at step 1 or what. Oh well... I'll figure it out. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi, I bought a moto x recently and I really don't know what is the best option to mod my phone. I have android 4.4.2 and standard moto x from Claro, and I'd like to mainly root. I'm not really interested on unlock BL, but aparently in 4.4.2 it is needed to unlock BL. I have read some guides here but I don't get it. What I shall do ? Thanks guys.
Without an unlocked bootloader, this is your only root option on 4.4.2...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771623
And its only root. Write protection is still enabled, meaning anything you do is undone when you reboot or power off and on.
So it has a lot of limits. I don't think you can write to the system either.
Not ideal.

You will BRICK it if you try. Its well documented here. You can not downgrade safely - even with an unlocked bootloader.

Will there be a root method when we get the L OTA? And with locked bootloader?

Seeing that 5.0 source just dropped and moto hasnt even issues an update to l yet i think its far too early to say. But I think that chances are small with a locked bootloader seeing that the root method for the nexus 9 involves flashing a new bootloader. But like I said who knows.
Currently, we don't even have a way to root 4.4.4 on a locked bootloader, so once L drops on the X the chances become extremely slim. Rooting on the 9 involves flashing a different kernel that will allow the unsecured code to run.
If you are able to unlock your phone through whatever way, then you will probably eventually be able to root L. If you still have a locked bootloader, I wouldn't hold my breath.
The Nexus 9 isn't unlockable like other Nexuses (Nexii?)? What does this mean for the Nexus 6...?

I believe the N9 IS unlockable. However, to obtain root chainfire had to do more than usual. He wrote up the details on G+.

Takes a different kernel not bootloader like I think was mentioned above.
Hey does anyone know if or when the moto x 2014 will get its bootloader officially unlocked by Motorola. Was researching on the site and it seems as though Verizon models are getting their bootloaders officially unlocked. Since they said the carrier models aren't getting marshmallow they could at least unlock our bootloaders so wencan get root and flash some roms. Or if anyone knows how to get it done unofficially..... I'm all ears. Thanks
I'm unlocked on Verizon, but att I don't know if or when. If you haven't upgraded above 5.0 you can root with mofo and unlock with sunshine.

That's the thing, motorola never announced that verizon got it. It just magically started to work when someone tried to unlock his bootloader then they told all of us. There is no way to know if it will ever be able to be unlocked. But everyone can keep trying, maybe one day it will work.

Don't know of a way outside of unlock code from moto then. If you can gain root (at least temp root) sunshine will still unlock it. But haven't seen anybody figure it out yet for 5.1. Maybe keep an eye on kingroot see if they've got it yet.

Clear the cache of the app after it fails. Read the thread. It is random how it works...but it does.
I have an SM-N910T running N910TUVU1COG2. I've kept it at this because I didn't what to lose the unlocked bootloader.
Is it possible to update my N910T with stock firmware without updating the bootloader? I've done it on other Android phones without any problems, but am clueless about the Note 4's ability to do so. What say you all?

Well, that totally sucks. Damn Samsung/T-Mobile. One of the main reasons I bought the phone was because it had an unlocked bootloader so that I could do as I will with it. It was bought out-right, unsubsidized, and I should be able to install what I want without worrying about the bootloader getting locked. So I guess I'm stuck at COG2 for a while longer, at least until my desire to keep the bootloader unlocked is overcome by my desire for new hotness.

If once you upgraded to marshmallow you can only downgrade to 5.1.1 OK1 but no 5.0 or 4.4.4.
But with 5.1.1 OK1 bootloader you can still flash 4.4.4 and 5.0 roms with custom kernels and they work flawless.

Only revert lock. But if you are looking at rooting, recovery and flashing roms its not locked. I took mine to PE3 MM and left it there.....
OK, I'm confused.
Sorry to belabor the point, but I'm confused. If the bootloader is unlocked, then should I not be able to flash any ROM, Samsung's or not? i.e. I don't understand how the OK1 bootloader, if it's unlocked, will prevent me from flashing COD2. Or is it that the bootloader itself will not properly boot anything prior to OK1?
