Dont forget to backup

Don't forget to backup your data like I did, it erases everything like a factory reset. Unless you are going with another ROM, in that case nevermind.
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
i backed up my data, but couldn't figure out how to revert what and what changed, etc., to take the 4.4.2 OTA. so I had to re-flash system and try again. talk about pita.
[Moto X Q&A] nmbenson:
I know how you feel, that is why once I got unlocked and TWRP installed I setup my stock ROM with everything I like and made a backup with cache and data then installed PacROM and did the same. That way I have two save states in case one gets "messed up". I haven't got around to installing AOKP ROM but will do the same when/if I do.
[Moto X Q&A] NWKENT:
Gentleman..Why take OTA now..if you are unlocked..then you are professionals now..OTA is for old folks..go download the FXZ once they are available..which 4.4.2 is for the Moto X..the OTA's are risky..and whom knows what is coming to your device via OTA.? :( :)

Go to the Motorola Owners forum..the latest OTA bricked a LARGE percentage of the MZ617 tablets..just for example..

LEARN to RSDLite or adb your OS..things are a lot safer that way..many, many devices become bricked with OTA's

Unfortunately my MAXX came with 4.4 so I had no option, if I were lucky to have received the phone with 4.2 I would not have taken the OTA and probably went that way.
[Moto X Q&A] NWKENT:
On my pages..on the Moto XDEV page..I have FXZ's (aka) SBF's uploaded, one can download, flash via RSDLite or the hard way with adb..TWRP is automatically flashed for you..then go to Play Store, load SuperSu..reboot into recovery, then in TWRP, reboot to system, answer yes by swiping..allow TWRP to reboot your device.. Once your device is booted..your device is Rooted..much faster than to do it manually..

Doesn't matter what OS version your device is on before you unlock..after unlocked one can revert back or to the latest OS..I have done this many, times..that's how I work up the custom FXZ's..I test them many ways before I upload them to my pages..

[Moto X Q&A] nmbenson:
Yeah I totally get that and agree but prior to talking about options after unlock we were talking about unlocking itself. Jcase had a way if you were on 4.2 but if you were on 4.4 you couldn't use it (maybe I'm wrong or there is a newer way), so the Chinese site unlock code was the only option for those of us on 4.4 already. After that its all fair play to do whatever one wants. I am used to adb so I'm fine using that, if one is newer to this they should totally check out your site.
[Moto X Q&A] NWKENT:
Yes Sir..you are exactly correct..jcase does have an exploit..that one must start from 4.2.2 Root..then retain Root into 4.4..if not..it was the end of the line if your device is on 4.4 without Root..but you guys got the 4.4.2 update..which still is the end of the line for Root..unless one owns the Dev X..this thing happening now..is wonderful for many..

I also have all the details to the jcase exploits on my pages..Moto X and Droid Maxx, same process..

[Moto X Q&A] EvanVanVan:
Idk about yours but my custom logo did change when they changed the animation. It went from the normal "Teal M" (with my custom message) that then blends into the earth, to a "Purple/white M" (with my custom message) that then became the winter animation.

I mainly noticed because I had a typo in the message when I ordered it from motomaker, which I photoshopped and reflashed to correct. And the next thing I know, the typo came back when the M changed colors and the boot animation changed.

Edit: found a changed logo with custom message on youtube...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdHlsyXEQFk
[Moto X Q&A] :
Not just dev edition, to clarify. Any unlocked Moto x can easily root 4.4.2.

Remember "dev edition" on the Moto x only means you keep your warranty .....its the same otherwise as any unlocked Moto x.

Is this the same method for unlock you guys are using once you have the code?

http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-to-unlock-the-bootloader-on-Motorola-phones-Moto-X-Moto-G_id53876
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
If you are getting the unlock code for your X from this 3rd party (rather than Moto), then in step 4 skip the command... "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" Skip step 5 all together, then yeah, that is a very detailed walk through of the process for once you have the code.

But when you actually go through it, you'll see its written as if you do not know anything about ABD, commands, and such. They have you use ADB Reboot bootloader to get into the bootloader mode, rather than the button combo on the phone. Both ways work. But for ADB reboot to work, you have to have USB Debugging enabled, so they walk you through the steps to do it.

short version, if you have the Moto drivers installed, ADB properly installed and setup (Android SDK/Platform tools), have the unique code for your phone already and can reboot your phone into boodloader/fastboot mode... fastboot oem unlock <unique code> is what you do.

and as that article, and several posts in this thread say, it does wipe your data, so make sure you backup everything FIRST!!

So if this process works officially through Motorola... (as explained here PhoneArena Tutorial) Why are people paying someone in China to get a code?

Once you unlock your bootloader, your warranty is voided whether you did it officially or unofficially... Motorola will know if its been unlocked no matter what... What am I missing?

Motorola will let you do it. You just have to pay big bucks and by the DE. Verizon doesn't want you to, because they make money on bloat.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
It's not moto that doesn't let u, it's VZW and ATT because having an unlocked bootloader would allow u to flash custom ROMs and/or Root which would allow u to bypass the need to pay them to get some of the features such as wifi tethering...
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Pretty much explained by the last few posts but yeah...

The unlock codes for the Retail and Moto Maker X's from Verizon and ATT are not available from Motorola. Why? Likely due to VZW and ATT. But no one knows for sure.

Other carriers, like T-Mobile and Sprint do allow you to get the unlock code for free from Motorola, but it voids the warranty.

If you purchase the Developer Edition for Verizon, or the GSM Developer Edition, you can request the unlock code for free from Motorola's web site and NOT void your warranty.
[Moto X Q&A] Rikter:
I purchased the the code on Friday directly through taobao.com using chrome to translate. It was challenging but I was able to get through it. I got the code in my email shortly after and then I had to confirm the receipt on the site so the seller could get their funds. The code worked flawlessly and now I am unlocked, rooted and running 4.4.2 on Verizon. Worked out to be $40.59. Worth every cent. Now I'm glad I didn't buy the Dev edition, I'm not a fan of white phones personally.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:

Well I got my code but something is wrong. I have a Droid Maxx , I boot the phone up into fast boot mode and run the commands as per these instructions in this post

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51061231&postcount=485

And nothing happens. No reboot , nothing, the code that I was sent was formatted like this XXXXXXX28900791 4FI344EHIWOGPXXXXXXX

Where the X's have been inserted to replace numbers. Is there suppose to be a space in the string of numbers?

I tried with a space and without a space.

On the phone it says -

Fastboot Reason: Key pressed

USB connected

process oem command: unlock

So the computer is talking to the phone but there is no unlock

I unlocked the boot loader on my moto x dev ed and had no problems.

So anybody have any ideas?:(

So just to be sure, if I choose to go this root. If I have a brand new AT&T branded Unlocked Moto X device, which I recently updated from 4.2.2 to 4.4, but since I am not on AT&T service, I assume I will not get the 4.4.2 update, I could either sideload the 4.4.2 update, or I can still unlock my bootloader on 4.4 and then root my device, or is that option not possible, since I did take the 4.4 update. ??

I had no plans on rooting this time, but would like to know incase I change my mind, or before I update to 4.4.2

[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
That is one thing I've not tested on my X... Having my Verizon X on say T-Mobile and trying to bring down an OTA...

I would think it should work. i.e. having your ATT X on say T-Mobile, and getting the ATT OTA update (when its pushed from ATT).

I say this because Moto sells the GSM Developer Edition and the T-Mobile edition. They are the same phone. Only difference is, unlocking the bootloader on the Dev unit doesn't void the warranty like it does on the T-Mobile edition. The Dev Edition certainly does get OTA updates no matter which carrier network it is on. The T-Mobile should do the same. So I would further think any unlocked X would act the same.
[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
I have tested this myself. You would get the OTA depending on the ROM that's on your phone regardless of the network that you're currently connected to and regardless of the status of your bootloader. You would even get the OTA even if you're not connected to any mobile network and you're just on WiFi.

So if you have the ATT Moto X (which would have the ATT ROM) and you're connected to some unknown network in the middle of nowhere, you would still get the ATT OTA when it's released for the ATT phones.

Unless you've unlocked your bootloader and you've flashed a ROM from another carrier, say the TMO ROM, you would then get the OTA when it's released for the TMO Moto X, also regardless of the network that you're connected to.

It all matters on the ROM that's on your phone.
[Moto X Q&A] DJB628:
I'm not sure, I was on 4.2.2 when I got the phone out of the box brand new, then I checked to see if there was an update and there was 4.4, I have check in the past 3 days and still no 4.4.2, It is an AT&T branded phone, but I am going to use it on AIO, so I think the 4.4.2 will be released by AT&T and I assume I will not get it, unless I sideload it, is my guess, but I am not activating my phone until the end of the month, so I will wait another week and see what happens. I assume I will need the 4.4.2 when on AIO to be able to receive and send MMS, is what I am reading, that some are having issues.

[Moto X Q&A] mschumacher69:
You will get 4.4.2 even if using it on AIO. Just wait for a couple of days, 4.4.2 has been released for the ATT phone but it's being pushed as a staged roll-out, so not all people are getting it at the same. This is to reduce the load on their update servers.

I think I must be missing something here. I purchased my code (you can probably just send the seller directly through paypal if you didn't want to deal with a site in a foreign languange), got the code less than 18 hours later, loaded to fastboot and entered the code. on my phone it says process oem command: unlock

then thats it. Device still says locked. Is it possible I got a bad code?

here is from my command line:

If I reboot, it's still locked. Still says locked on my phone. I'm at a loss... :confused:

If the unlock is successful, the phone will reboot by itself and wipe your userdata.

Make sure you're only putting the code in, not your IMEI and the code. Lots of people in the other thread are having trouble because the seller sends you an email that tells you the code in the format:

IMEI CODE (e.g. 12345679013214 ASAKDLJFHKS5J2)

Quick question , I have used the code method to unlock and root my question is is the unlocked bootloader permanent if I flash a custom rom and decide to go back to stock 4.4 using fxz will I lose my unlocked bootloader? or is my code good forever (multiple uses)? This uncertainty is keeping me from trying custom roms as I dont know if I flash back to stock I will lose my unlocked bootloader and if I did will my code work again to unlock it. Thanks in advance for any insight on my question.
[Moto X Q&A] Lordomn:
Once it's unlocked the only way to lock it is thru fastboot manually.
[Moto X Q&A] rocketsaucev2:
Yeah, the bootloader unlocked is pretty much the holy grail. Everything you flash is 'within' the bootloader so it won't relock and you won't have to worry about that happening. The point of unlocking is TO flash stuff like roms
