After performing this root method then installing XPosed Framework (soft rebooting after of course), I cannot receive text messages. Anybody else have this problem? I've replicated it 3 times

4.4.2

Modules I had activated - AppOps, GravityBox [KK], and Greenify.

I hadn't disabled any permissions for any apps in AppOps, modified anything in GravityBox, or Greenified anything. This occured from just installing the framework and modules then soft rebooting.

Personally I'm fine without XPosed but in case anybody else has this problem I figured I'd bring it to the attention of people in this thread to possibly troubleshoot (since JCase has done so much for the community I'd rather not bother him with something as small as this).
[Moto X Original Android Development] xDroid4Lifex:
That's actually quite odd, I've modified quite a few things in GB and a lot of settings in app ops and not had any issues. Maybe try the the thread for xposed or the threads for those modules and see if anyone else has experienced the same issue on the same or even a different device.

I have a VZW Moto X on 4.4.2 and have successfully rooted with this method. The phone has never been rooted until now. I have also used this wifi tether app with stated settings with success. However, like you mentioned once tether is turned off Wifi will not work. I try to connect to my home network and it states "failed to connect".

Once I reboot the phone wifi returns but I loose root. Is there a solution to this?
[Moto X Original Android Development] danny39:
I just tried using XPosed with no modules installed and i can receive messages fine. It must've been Greenify if that's the one you don't have installed. I'll test then edit this post so others can avoid the module that causes the problem and don't end up not receiving important messages.

Edit/Update: Yep it appears to be the Greenify module. So steer clear of that module if you want to continue to receive messages!

Sorry I guess I should said a solution without a factory reset in my case. But I am now able to use the native tethering app.
[Moto X Original Android Development] samwathegreat:
Great! Glad you found a working solution.

Those of us on Republic Wireless are unable to use the native tether method. The built-in Republic Wireless app (used for WiFi Calling), immediately "steals" WiFi back from the native tether framework when you try to use it. For this reason, the only solution for RW users is to use the WiFi Tether for Root Users App.

You should not need root if you are sideloading another keyboard. If the keyboard is an apk file just download apk installer from the google play store and install it through that. Then just go into your language and input settings and select whatever keyboard you want as your default keyboard. And there you go! :)

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Original Android Development] classic757:
Oops! My bad! :( You are right. I just tried to install the g3 keyboard port apk via apk installer and no go. You will need root access to successfully install the port and the jcase exploit won't do it because it cannot disable write protection so apps can write to system.

Anyway here is the download link to the keyboard port if you don't already have it. https://mega.co.nz/#!7BdjUR5J!WHLo1B6Kbcbe3WJv4wSK-4GFAkl7k1PDHZAUaGtqeXE

Are you on 4.4.2 or the new 4.4.3 update?
[Moto X Original Android Development] lmalinofsky:
Solved same problem once; but only until reboot

I got exactly the results you did but with a little fussing still achieved root, though I lost it for good when I accidentally rebooted. I looked at the error messages. With regard to missing blop.asec, I found the file and put it in that directory. (or maybe I just created a garbage file with that name and put it there, I can't remember) With regard to failure for existing dalvik-cache, I just deleted dalvik-cache. (I believe a new one is generated anyway). Running the script seemed to achieve root because I could run titanium backup without its complaining that root was required. Things were going well until I accidentally rebooted and I haven't done the exploit again since but I will.
[Moto X Original Android Development] classic757:
Yes, since the exploit does not disable write protection, if you hard reboot you will lose root but it is easily regained by running the exploit again.

I ran Titanium Backup and backed up all my apps. Also installed Xposed but later uninstalled it because it was just causing me too many problems.

I installed BusyBox also and it works but apps like Rom Manager and Rom Toolbox do not. Any app that needs to write to system will not work or can cause problems with your phone with this exploit.

[Moto X Original Android Development] collinjames:
Has anyone figured out a good way to soft reboot when all processes start FC'ing? About once every 3 day's I'll have all process crash and when I select soft reboot through the power menu using some Xposed addons my phone will shut off during the reboot which forces me to do a hard reboot. Is there any shell command I can use to do a soft reboot without Xposed? I know I can re-root but I'm not always home when the crashing happens

[Moto X Original Android Development] SamuriHL:
That's great and all, but, if you're unlocked you just flash custom recovery like TWRP in fastboot and flash supersu zip and be done with it. No need for an exploit on unlocked devices. Locked users have system WP on so they're somewhat stuck with tethered root for the time being.
[Moto X Original Android Development] zlebors:
oh yeah,sorry.. I forgot to re-lock and test it.. :D
[Moto X Original Android Development] SamuriHL:
LOL. I mean that's certainly an easy way of getting to a point of flashing recovery, but, if you want to do the opposite and use recovery to flash root, then you just flash recovery in ap fastboot mode with fastboot on an unlocked device and you're good to go. But it won't help the locked guys and gals, unfortunately.

This WILL NOT work on the Moto X. Only reason I just so happened to figure it out is because our devices were still on 4.4. As soon as the 4.4.3 update is available for the Droids it will kill W/P off for us as well if you take the update.

I would gladly send you the money for that floppy disk of BusyBox. Thanks for making root have a little humor. All jokes aside thank you very much for doing this. Correct me if I am wrong but since this is temporary root I should just be able to do a hard reboot to get rid of it and take the 4.4.3 update when it is out for me.
[Moto X Original Android Development] collinjames:
Yes you can do that, but you will not be able to gain root again on 4.4.3 and there is no way to carry root over from 4.4.2, so if you're okay with that then yes, updating will be possible with a reboot.

What I've learned | 2 step

Locked Moto X Root in 2 Steps - Linux - proly mac... (from a Gplus post I made)

Save: goo.gl/GeyA1D and goo.gl/CPuviI to /home/user/

Open Terminal & Enter: chmod 700 mxr.sh && ./mxr.sh

-Inevitably when your have to root again after a reboot just type: ./mxr.sh

Root's by jcase (Donate to him! if at all possible pls) | Simple script's by me

Xpose: Only soft boot - it's under framework.

-Soft boot TWICE(2) when applying framework after each time you root.

-When changes don't apply instantly because you're changing fundamentals so soft boot from framework

-!Don't just keep changing or it will hard-reset and you have to run above again.

-Best thing to do for me is root - install xpose - install modules and make custom changes to mods then activate modules, and soft reboot from framework which will make you hard reboot proly so just do above real quick afterwards... G'luck

can anyone answer me?
[Moto X Original Android Development] samwathegreat:
I doubt anyone can give you a definite answer. It is definitely -possible- that moto could know that you used PIE.

We know for a fact that the Verizon bloat software installed on the XT1060 VZW variants CAN detect the su binary and report to Verizon that your phone has been rooted...

There are no reports that Moto is collecting this information, however. Although possible, I doubt you will have any issues with them. PIE doesn't make any permanent modifications to your device, since we have no write access to /system, and changes are lost upon reboot. For this reason, I doubt Moto will give you any trouble for having used PIE (if they even know....).

Anyone know if this new method has any potential to work with Droid Maxx?
[Moto X Original Android Development] VBlack:
Yes, it is worked for me. I need to downgrade to 19.5.3. Then use this exploit to get root every time phone rebooted. If you want permanent root and no write protection - I did following : I use 2 PC

On first PC

:1. Downgrade to 19.5.3 you could leave all your data, just do not flash /erase userdata.

2. Apply pie exploit

3. Connect to second pc

4. Run motowpnomo exploit.

5. Every time phone booted - disconnect from pc2, connect to pc1, run pie exploit, connect back (you have 120 sec. To do this).

6. Once finished - you have permanent root, and wp off

7. Now you can apply proposed update, and get back to 19.6.3

The devs have stated that Towel root does not work on Motorola or HTC devices because of their implementation of Write Protect.

Fortunately, [MENTION=229050]VBlack[/MENTION] has given you the procedure to use THIS root method (PIE), AND to disable write protect on your Maxx. I imagine that was the ultimate goal you are trying to achieve (root + write protect disable).
