I have been trying to root my MOTO X 2014 but so far I have just unlocked the bootloader but I have not been able to do anything more than that .( My phone is completely functional )
hallo. i rooted my phone by this topic
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105
downloaded supersu and root boot zip files. then go to recovery and install as zip these 2 files. then reboot
you must install TWRP 3.0.2 newest version first. but my advice is use stock 6.0 rom, because all other 7.1.1 roms have some bugs
be careful, do not brick your phone. i bricked 2 times but survived. still using 6.0 stock

Hey man, I'm from brazil and I trying root my motox (2nd Ger). I'm so confused where to start. First I have to unlock bootloader, right ? what I use for this ? If you have a topic for this send me. After i have to install te TWRP, right ? I downloaded the twrp 3.0.2-1 victara. If you have a topic for install too . The rest of the steps i believe its this:
1- Connect Moto X to the computer with a USB cable.
2- Copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-2.76.zip file and the attachment zip (according to the version of your device) to phone memory .
3- Reboot in Fastboot, go to Recovery and acess the TWRP.
4- Install the two zips and reboot.
I already have the SuperSU and root boot. thanks, sorry for my bad english.

all the steps u have stated are correct but to install the twrp(custom recovery ) u would need to connect your device to computer and boot in fast boot mode after that u will have to go in recovery mode using the fast boot mode and run the supersu and the .img file from the given folder .
You can get into fast boot mode by pressing the power button and volume down for 3 sec then leave the power key and hold the volume key for a sec longer and u will be in the fast boot mode.
These following links are going to be helpful these links show the video of moto x pure u can just follow the exact same steps just with the different img file

stock recover for lxb22.99-16.3 see post #2
to install future ota updates you need to unroot and have stock recovery (they will download but not install and or cause a bootloop)
falcon got 5.1.1 as its gen 1 we are gen 2 and still waiting - not fair - but how motorola does it (to try to sell more gen 3)

bootloader unlocked is only needed to install twrp - you will get ota updates with locked or unlocked bootloader and they will install if locked or unlocked
its only rooting that causes bootloops and of course you need stock recovery to install - so yes just install updates without worry

Hi,
I managed to unlock the Bootloader on my Moto G 2nd dual sim. Now I'm looking for a step to step how to to root my phone.
There are so many (confusing) how to's out there
I'm using Marshmallow.
Took me a while to find instructions for non Windows user to unlock bootloader ...so a step by step Linux how to would be appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Best, Martin

As long as you have your adb and fastboot tools installed on your computer, as well as the drivers you need for the moto g2, the steps are the same for both windows and Linux. To root:
1. Flash twrp version 3.0.0.0
Download the file, place in your fastboot folder, and then open a command window in that folder. Type : fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
2. Using TWRP, install SuperSU v2.62 only.
3. (Optional)Boot your rom up and update SuperSU to version 2.65 using the play store.
That's all you need to get root access.

1. You do not need a modified boot image, SuperSU will modify the boot image for you.
2. I answered your question because I've done the above hundreds of times before.
3. I do realise that I'm replying many months later than when you posted, but XDA only informed me of your reply just now.
ATTENTION!
You MUST read all the guide BEFORE doing it, if you do it without reading all of it first you may ends up bricking your phone!
Prerequisites:
Asus ZE500KL (may work on ZE500KG, but haven't tested, do it on your own risk) on Marshmallow, NOT LOLLIPOP!
Also, it must have fully booted AT LEAST one time, otherwise, you'll soft-brick it.
If your phone is not on Marshmallow, you can use THIS guide insteadDownload and put the unlocker zip file and the SuperSu zip file in the phone
How To:
1 - Install adb and fastboot driver (follow THIS guide)
Now you can connect the phone to your computer2 - Reboot in fastboot mode with one of the following method:
a -Volume Up while booting upb -With adb, after enabling USB debugging in developer settings, using:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now that you are in bootloader, you have to boot in TWRP,
download THIS recovery (is the twrp one) and boot in to it, using this command:
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-x-x-x-x.img
(Obviusly the recovery name must be the one you downloaded)
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
It should automaticaly enter in recovery.
Now you MUST flash FIRST ZE500KL_BootloaderUnlock.zip, otherwise you'll brick your phone
Btw, the recovery will mount your phone's memory, so you can put now the files in the phone, if you forgot to do it before
AFTER you installed the unlocker zip, you can install the SuperSu zip
When the install is complete, clear the cache and reboot your phone, now you can enjoy your root!

So.. I'm thinking of buying a ZE500KL and I've been doing some reading on this phone on the forums.. did it really just get unlocked like yesterday? does that mean custom roms from now on?

I would recommend Z00L/T, you will get cm13, official unlock at least.
You Say " May Work On ZE500KG" Is ze500kg already receive Marshmallow Update?

i think isnt permanent, this step is needed to boot into twrp then flashing a unlockBL..
to make permanent.. the command must "fastboot flash recovery twrp_X.X.X.X.img"

Is it me or everytime I reboot the device after rooted, it's going back to unrooted?
Root is a success tho, great job, OP!
Edit: okay, not every reboot, but after several reboots, then it went back unrooted
[Rooted/Unlocked bootloader] So I deleted my OS trying to install a new rom (CM) I went into my custom recovery (philz touch 6) and I wiped everything and tried to flash cm. The CM I downloaded didn't install due to an error and when I tried to reboot my device, it stayed on the Warning screen. I've tried to sideload multiple roms (one at a time) and some gave me errors and when I installed the roms from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/xt1053-retail-stock-lollipop-flashable-t3155843
it successfully installed but when I went to reboot my device it just shows the warning screen for about 20 seconds and then it will just reboot again and repeat. I have tried to install:
cm-12.1-20160710-NIGHTLY-ghost
cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K9-ghost
cm-11-20141115-SNAPSHOT-M12-ghost

Turn off your phone then turn on pressinf power button + volume down
Then you download any stock ROM based in your model, you can get them here: https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (1st gen-2013)/Stock/
You will install fastboot+adb in your computer(you can find in google a link, it's pretty easy to do). Also you uncompress the .zip (the firmware that you just donwloaded) in the same location as your fastboot.
To flash the stock rom using fastboot you have a guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/ref-return-to-stock-recovery-rooted-t3027079

Thank you so much for your help, although the tutorial you linked is explaining how to install rom from SD card and I was not able to do that, I was however able to extract the files and flash them via CMD and fastboot
