my phone was updated to 5.1, so I'm really hoping I'd be able to use that with my phone))

You need to see if kingroot works to root 5.1. It works to root the Chinese MX14 XT1085 so I don't see why it wouldn't work on the XT1096 and XT1097.

My moto x still has 5.0, so newest update should work?

The XT1096 is not unlockable through Motorola and it does not say that it is unlockable on the motorola website.

I am not watching some YouTube video. The Verizon Moto X 2014 XT1096 is not unlockable by Motorola and no where on the Motorola website do they say that it is. You said the motorola website said the XT1096 was unlockable. It does not.
Anyone can post anything on YouTube doesn't make it true.

You can get root with any version besides the Retail AT&T and Retail Verizon models. As far as I know, no one is working on a root exploit for those.

Could you explain this is laymen terms? Are you saying that one must flash a rogers software on att/verizon version in order to obtain root? If so is it or would it be possible to go back to your original stock version... So, I am going out on a limb and say that development will be bigger on the dev edition

You cannot flash firmware for another variant with a locked bootloader.
Development will be bigger on the Developer Edition, yes. However, more will come from developers on T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, Rogers, any Brazilian carrier, etc.

Wouldn't the same root exploit for the Mini, Ultra, and Maxx work on the moto X?
I'd assume someone would work on those.
It should be compatible since it's the same hardware and OS.

What epinter is saying is if a root exploit is discovered for the Ultra then it can easily be modified to gain root on the Moto X.
I might give it a shot compiling this kernel. But before that I need the stock kernel.. can anyone please give that to me??
ps-- I dont own this phone. Just doing for getting more experience and learning purposes

actually, yes, you can, as long as it's signed.
Well with the kernel source out in the wild we can expect some interesting things here soon, I will be on the watch constantly now.
I expect more cogent hypotheses about root to come for the other models now that we have developer editions out and the kernel source. Being on sprint, I'm already unlocked and waiting for the freight train of development(one hopes).

Shouldn't be but if it did lock the boot loader you should be able to unlock using the same code. I don't think they would bother worrying about a few unlocked phones.

There will be no problem taking the soak with an unlocked bootloader. I was unlocked prior to taking last soak a couple months ago.

Another root method could happen sure... But unlocking not likely at all.. The only reason we got the 2nd chance we did is because someone at moto "accidentally" used the old tz code that's vulnerable to Dan Rosenbergs exploit

I finally managed to get it worked out. One problem is that root checker was telling me I had no root even though I do. That lying skank! Now that I got that, I'm trying to deal with the VZW hotspot issue. The latest ota update seems to have made the problem more difficult. Thanks for advice, though!
