Any ideas why I'm getting that error the last set of code? I'm using Minimal ADB and Fastboot, I have extracted the two PIE files into the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder that was installed when I installed the application. Am I not putting the files in the right place? It seems I am or else I feel like the first 3 lines of code would of failed.
[Moto X Original Android Development] samwathegreat:
That output is perfectly normal (did you read the PIE thread?). Download a root checker and check to see if you have root.
[Moto X Original Android Development] tu3218:
Sorry I should have clarified. I did check root and I had it, I installed busybox, checked it and seems good. However when I download power menu to hot reboot, nothing happens. So since I had busybox installed per Busybox Checker, I figured something was wrong with PIE and the code. Since I got these errors.
[Moto X Original Android Development] CrazyIvan3700:
You don't want to hot reboot with this exploit; it will go away if you do and you will have to re-do it. what do you mean "nothing happens"?
[Moto X Original Android Development] Tw1sted247:
What are the advantages to installing busy box?

I'm not sure but I believe that may be my issue that makes my system hard reboot at screen off after modules+Xposed are activated.
[Moto X Original Android Development] redpipe:
There's no need to install busybox. His package includes a binary and many common symlinks.
[Moto X Original Android Development] Neighbor808:
This is great! I've got Xposed running no problem with several Gravity Box tweaks. I just soft rebooted one or two times for the tweaks that require reboot (which you must do through Xposed itself, obviously). I've got all the things I wanted with a custom ROM, but with the locked bootloader.
[Moto X Original Android Development] k3ff0:
I have root and Xposed+Gravity Box working. Everything is working ok, but sometimes I get this messagge in each app "application has stopped unexpectedly". I have to turn off the phone and get root again. I dont know if its normal or I am the only one getting this

I've installed the piejar smoothly. When I go to install superSU and it goes to update binaries it shows INstallation Failed! Reboot and try again, but rootchecker says rooted. Is this correct? should I go ahead and run MotoWpNoMo
[Moto X Original Android Development] zerogun:
If you have a moto G, why not bootloader unlock it using the Motorola Bootloader unlock program? You can then install custom recovery and flash SuperSU.zip

If you every need to have it undergo warranty inspection, you can just RSD lite back to stock.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

forgot to quote...
[Moto X Original Android Development] scintillatingsyed:
I've verizon moto G, so there is no way to unlock bootloader..
[Moto X Original Android Development] samwathegreat:
Keep in mind that just like the Moto X, the Moto G bootloader has 3 states:

Locked, Unlocked, and Re-Locked

If you -ever- unlock the bootloader, and you subsequently re-lock it later, the status changes to "Re-Locked". You can never get back to status Locked.

So if you had to "undergo warranty inspection", they would definitely know that you had unlocked previously and your warranty claim would likely be denied. Motorola was very smart about this. The bootloader status is controlled by blowing "qfuses", which just like an actual fuse, can never be restored. Sure, you can restore to stock, but any competent technician would know without a doubt that you had unlocked the bootloader.

Remember, Motorola's official stance is that once you unlock, your warranty is void (with the exception of DEV editions....but AFAIK there is no DEV edition of the Moto G....).

If you care about retaining warranty, just use PIE....that is what this thread is all about, after all.

im on vzw moto x 4,4,2, i can post more specific build info if needed.

i was previously able to use towelroot for temp root using the modstring with the 1 at the end, now it doesnt work.

i wanted to try this root and finally made it around to getting it all setup. im running it from my linux computer, but abd works fine, the first 3 commands give the correct expected output.
[Moto X Original Android Development] doitinthedirt:
i'd never used adb before 3 days ago followed the instructions in the link below including downloading the java 7 sdk and then the android adb sdk and everything worked fine very simple http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/

I was also rooting a veri$on locked boot X on 4.4.2 and successfully Pied it twice.. easy like eating cake or pie

And I just disregarded the output... I copied and pasted each of the four comands from the OP and after the fourth I ran fx file explorer and was golden.. my outputs were not the same as jc has in the OP

you must download java sdk 7, the newer one 8 listed first DONT work

I'm a little confused here I just got a Droid Maxx it is currently on 4.4.2. So Pie should work. I also have an Ota up date says its downloaded and ready to install I have not taken it yet. I just read that the maxx is skipping 4.4.3 and going to 4.4.4. Only soak testers are supposed to get it. I was a tester on previous phones but I just got this phone yesterday what gives. Should I take it or sillnI be screwed for root if I do Thanks.
[Moto X Original Android Development] rdenova:
Once you root, install ROM Manger and uninstall them instead of freezing.

If you are still on 19.5.3 you can use Jcases root method, if not you will have to downgrade to 19.5.3.

I haven't tried because I have an unlocked bootloader... but...

Since PIE doesn't disable write protection, I would think that any changes you make freezing stuff with Tibu would be undone at power off/on.

All I really would like to do it TIBU, Greenify, AdBock, and WiFi tether.
[Moto X Original Android Development] samwathegreat:
See the thread titled "China Middleman Back". You have the possibility of unlocking your bootloader. Although most users report that he is unable to obtain codes for their 2013 devices, Republic Wireless models seem to be the exception to this. I have unlocked 2 2013 RW devices since he has been back in business.

If you are interested, move your discussion to the China Middleman thread - in the General Subforum. This thread is exclusively for discussing PIE, so we don't want to get off-track. I'm just trying to offer up another [permanent] solution that has benefited many of us.

Good Luck

[Moto X Original Android Development] wooddale:
I'm sorry Im unlocked but I herd guys talking about it.Maybe read somemore
[Moto X Original Android Development] SamuriHL:
Locked bootloaders can't downgrade as there's security preventing it. Unlocked users "can" but at the risk of bricking your device. I have a UNIVERSAL script that allows for downgrading on unlocked phones but on the X, I seriously don't recommend it at all. They changed the partition table and even on unlocked phones that can't be downgraded. So yea, I wouldn't even try to play in that arena.
[Moto X Original Android Development] KidJoe:
Yes, with locked bootloader and 4.4.2 and up, write protection can not be disabled, so any root or changes you do will not survive a power off/on.

If Moto doesn't give the unlock code, you could try reading the thread about the Chinese Middleman in the general section and see if that helps.
[Moto X Original Android Development] LPMatt:
AFAIK, xt1058 cannot be bootloader unlocked at all, regardless of what version Android you're on. It has to do with Moto's contracts with AT&T. If your xt1058 s made in 2014, you might be able to get the code from the China Middleman for $45. Otherwise, get an xt1053 and activate it on any GSM network. They should all be bootloader unlockable. If you shop eBay carefully, you should be able to pick one up under 3 bills. Then just sell the 58 and make back most of it (hey, that should be the definitive guide for how to unlock the bootloader on an xt1058 - sell it and buy an xt1053! Do I get the bounty??

[Moto X Original Android Development] Markmaster:
How can I update SU binary? My bootloader is locked on 1058 and after reboot I need to plug it to computer again.
[Moto X Original Android Development] LPMatt:
Your phone (same as mine) is write-protected. PIE only roots temporarily and does not persist through a boot. I've not been able to update binaries either. Unless there's a way to push it through adb, but I don't know how to do that.
[Moto X Original Android Development] Markmaster:
Yeah, I am understand the write protected issue. I think you can push smth via ADB using http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/tool-moto-x-toolkit-v1-4-0-t2477132 this toolkit. But what needs to push?

How do you get this installed

Trying to figure how to get this installed

I extracted the zip to my C drive

Now what?
[Moto X Original Android Development] pooler00:
Basically I am using the case pie tethered root which means I have to run it every time I reboot my phone.....so I am not rebooting my phone. To get the tether to work I use all the the settings located here:

http://highonandroid.com/android-ap...android-smartphone-or-tablet-universal-guide/

I had to use these exact settings to get it two to work. There was one setting in the sample thread that was not on the version of tether.apk I am using, but it worked anyway. I hope to make a script that runs the jcase pie root on my phone upon reboot, but have not had time yet.
[Moto X Original Android Development] powrful1:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2825059 TowelPieRoot should work. The option of root on reboot works as well (check box).

Then pair that with this entitlement hack for wifi app (fails to apply on boot), which needs to be rerun after each reboot will allow TETHERING!!!!

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/themes-apps/app-hotspot-entitlement-bypass-v1-1-5-9-t2705152

Then under settings, more, and the option for Tethering &portable hotspot will magically appear. I use Notification Toggle for one click access, there are shortcut apps in the play store as well.

I would like thank the devs for outstanding work in allowing me access to TiBu, Greenify, and Tethering.

}Some people say "do a normal install" "don't chose cassic install" but i don't get what they mean, i cna only chose classic, recovery and recovery manual install, there's no normal mode, and if i chose recovery, then the phone reboots and i loose root, not to mention that i don 't even have a custom recovery...

TowelRoot was running fine on my fiancé's 4.4.4 Moto X for a while then one day stopped working and hasn't worked since. I am on 4.4.2 with SunShine, but is there any method to get Towel or something similar running on 4.4.4 till a SunShine exploit is found? Basically all she will be using is Greenify till unlocked.. Manual Greenify is a bit tedious.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Original Android Development] fathergweedo:
I am of the impression that SunShine unlocks the bootloader. Am I mistaken?
[Moto X Original Android Development] KidJoe:
Sunshine unlocks the bootloader of phones running 4.4.2 or lower. It needs to be able to root the phone, which can not be done on the X once 4.4.4 is on it.

The way I read Jersey846's post was that his fiancé's phone is on 4.4.4 which is no longer working with TowelPie, so was asking for other options on that phone.

He just happened to mention that HIS phone was on 4.4.2 and Sunshine had been used to unlock it.
[Moto X Original Android Development] fathergweedo:
I have a moto g on 4.4.2 and wondered what my options are. It's a VZW, so bootloader is locked down tight. I'll be checking out Sunshine tomorrow. Thanks for the quick reply.

LATE EDIT: Worked perfectly. Easy as PIE...
[Moto X Original Android Development] :
Is there a chance 5.0.1 can be rooted with such methods like this ? Reason I ask, is I am stuck on gpe 5..0.1 . Fastboot driver will not work on my PC, which leaves me unable to flash twr back to my device which was erased by the gpe flashable zip :( My only hope now is root via adb, even temp root to ash recovery with flashify.
[Moto X Original Android Development] KidJoe:
PIE, TowelPie, RockMyMoto, SlapMyMoto, etc. are all exploiting vulnerabilities in software or roms on the phone.

As Android evolves its getting harder and harder to find vulnerabilities. As such, there is no way to predict if one will be able to root or not without using these kinds of processes.

If you flashed a custom rom and can't get the fastboot drivers installed, I'd consider making sure you have the most up to date MotoDrivers package, Android SDK/Platform Tools, and latest mFastboot.exe installed.
