Rooting the Moto X - Moto X General

This is more of a PSA:
In case anyone is curious, the current motochopper isn't compatible with the Moto X. Motochopper seem to able to inject the exploit, but failed to inject SuperSU.
Framaroot doesn't seem to work either.
Just need to wait someone much cleverer than myself to root the device!

I think with how many different variations there are of this phone we'll have some good luck. Patients is the key. It's already a slick phone, rooting will just make it that much better.

Have you tried Motochopper? How do you know the sploit works? If you can get a root shell you should be able to do anyone else you want. I've been trying numerous things, I have a dev unit with an open unlocked kernel but it's way older than the release kernel.

I can confirm that the exploit doesn't work.
Version on the dev userdebug kernel I have is 3.4.0-xline-eng-g7a0ce30-00001-g79a2847 (built Apr 8)
Version on the other production kernel I have is 3.4.42-xline-gfd1a699-00158-g8990abb (build Jul 20)
I need to get a kernel dump of the production kernel before I try the libperf exploit. I'm not holding my breath on it working since a fix for that exploit came out about a month before that build. I've been trying to see get a transparent proxy inbetween the production phone to see if I can locate where the OTA servers are to try and download an image.
I'm able to take a dump of the userdebug kernel if anyone also has an unlocked bootloader and is interested in being a Guinea pig.

Ha! I guess the output from Motochopper isn't exactly accurate (no offense!). Here's a screenshot, whatever the screenshot means .

I'm not a Moto X user, but I've heard the boot loader on the ATT model is unlockable. Has anyone tried unlocking through Moto's site?

Any way to flash these on Linux? Ubuntu 13.10 to be exact. I get an error every time I try to flash system. I really, really do not want to install Windows on my computer. Every other phone I've owned, it's been no problem until the moto x. I have fastboot installed from android tools. So I think that's why I'm getting an error. I need the Motorola fastboot which I have, but I don't know how to make it so the terminal uses it instead of the system fastboot.

[Q] Locked BL updated to latest OTA

I was using original stock 4.1.1 version + http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542&highlight=98+18+94 to use xt907 on t-mobile.
Yesterday, I used RSD to restore the 4.1.1 version and OTAed to the latest 98.30.1.XT907.Verizon ROM. Then the t-mobile sim does not work any more, and the original method does not work.
Then I tried to downgrade 4.1.1 version using RSD, and failed. Then I'm stuck in the fastboot mode...
My question is:
1. Is there a way that I can get out of fastboot mode? Which rom should I use in RSD to restore?
2. Is there a way that I can downgrade to earlier version?
3. Is there a way that I can still use t-mobile sim card?
Thanks
You might be able to use the droid razr m utility but I'm no expert in it. I've just dabbled around in all of this. Wait for some insight from Rikrong or someone of the sort.

Poppers, you're on point. However, there's no Razr M utility for the latest update. You can use House of Moto from DroidRzr or flash the latest OTA with RSD.
Daniel, since you updated to .1, you can't downgrade. Just grab the last FXZ from SBF or use House of Moto to clear the fastboot fail. If your battery is low, you need to make sure it's charged before fastbooting.

Thanks RikRong! I managed to use house of moto to reset the system to the latest VRZ_XT907_9.8.1Q-94-1. Now the phone works. But I still cannot use t-mobile sim card. And the original method described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542&highlight=98+18+94 does not work on the latest ROM.
Any idea if there is a way that I can use t-mobile on it? Or my best bet is to sell it on craigslist?

That method should work, though I don't know much about it. You might want to post in the thread. You should be able to get the phone to work on T-Mobile.

[Q] Root exploit for 183.46.15

Is there any hope on rooting 183.46.15. is it Verizon that locks bootloaders and patches kernels because i have also have a verizon note 2 with locked bootloader and patched kernel. But some people were able to make root scripts for this phone running on JB and KK although their bootloaders were locked and kernels patched. I have rooted my phone running KK but cant flash custom recoveries/ROMs.
Right now, there are no exploits. Making another post about it isn't going to speed things along, either.

Asking about root/unlock again isn't going to change the outcome. There is nothing right now.

I think it only stays till you reboot phone. SU appears after you get root access, however once you reboot your phone, the root doesn't stay?

I also apologize about this not being under the development thread but it wouldnt let me put it there since I dont have enough reputation points and whatnot.

Thanks for such a fast response.
Baseband version: N900VVRUEOF1

What exactly is a baseband version? I just copied that string from my phone settings, dont really know what it means
When an update gets pushed to our phones from Verizon or who ever our carrier is that changes..idk all the details I'm not an expert but they add new things and patches ect. To the phone and that will let you know what version you have. Now give me a little bit and I'll copy and paste where you should go to root you're phone, make sure the read everything and follow everything that say in the 1st post and you should be good..I've been rooting for about 6 years now since my DROID eris and just followed everything they said and never had a problem. I'm become more balley I guess now haven done it and know how to fix a bricked phone and have messed up but always manage to get it fix
