Intsead of paying for titanium pro you can get the FREE App Quarantine https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ramdroid.appquarantine&hl=en

from the playstore, it will freeze the app the same as the pay version of tit pro.

I used it on the verizon moto x with 442 and froze moto OTA app, you have to use towelpieroot first because it needs root just like tit pro, than rebooted and lost root but the system app still maintains frozen state

meh too lazy to backup my phone and restore it after unlocking it but when I have some free time I sure will. In the mean time this exploit works great :)
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
I backup and restore my phone so much it's not even funny so that's not an excuse lol!

Looks sexy man, fiji blue is definitely my favorite color! I only found one fiji blue SI when I was looking for mine but the owner wanted close to $4k more than what I got mine for so I had to pass. Also the previous owner of mine didn't take care of the paint so it's pretty bad looking up close, so I focused on upgrading the motor since my dad is a mechanic. I'm probably making somewhere around 220whp I've never had it on a real dyno just an edyno when I had it tuned over 2 years ago. Here's a video I shot a year ago when I attempted my first burnout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQgC7zfFtrg&list=UUVaUnEbSfQfrHrhG_-zlAtw it's not the best but if you ever want skunk2 exhaust this is how loud it will be lol!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] BBobby:
Thanks for taking the time to make this app. I currently have no PC access therefore towelpie makes rhis app so appealing!

I am on moto g xt1032, cricket version 4.4.2. It does not work freezes and/or reboots. I got as far as 5 seconds in "starting", then it freezes and reboots

I read that moto g is supported. Am I missing any important steps?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
Thanks man... I love the sound on your video. I love it but definitely want to keep it low on my end for my son and also cops, they get stupid some times around here for nothing.

Hello guys,

I really need help to root this phone.

I've already tried every method I know, like desktop apps, mobiel apps, adb pushs and sideloads and batch scripts.

No luck so far. Can anyone help me?

Link to model from samsung : link

Thanks in advance.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] BBobby:
I would try towelroot v3 (google it). Make sure you read the entire page. There is a different modstring number you will have to enter (read the towelroot page)

But please, this is a moto g forum/thread. It'll be a little harder to get the right info here. Look for at least a galaxy forum with solar stats/OS
[Moto X Themes and Apps] fakeandroid:
Hello [MENTION=5503050]BBobby[/MENTION], thanks for the reply.

I've tried towelroot already. Unfortunaly, there isn't a section to this phone and there are too many Galaxy's, so I didn't know where would be the best place to ask for help.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] BBobby:
Yours is in the galaxy family as well. Then lookup any chainfire or CF root methods via ODIN.

Also, have you looked up the "kingo" way? Its an online tool. You must have your phone drivers installed correctly to your phobe
[Moto X Themes and Apps] momsi:
Freezing MotorolaOTA per App Quarantine didn't work.

Seems to me as app Quarantine didn't get root as well.

I open app Quarantine, check motorolaota, click the padlock icon, motorolaota disappears, I go to the Quarantine tab, nothing there, go back to the apps tab, motorolaota back there.....

Man, that's annoying as hell...
[Moto X Themes and Apps] doitinthedirt:
What version is your phone? I know it works on verizon moto x on 4.4.2 but if you're on 4.4.4 you wont achieve root using towelpie, and app quarantine wont work
[Moto X Themes and Apps] momsi:
I'm on 4.4.2 and root is achieved, xposed workes ;)

Only file explorers and app Quarantine seem unable to perform root operations
[Moto X Themes and Apps] doitinthedirt:
Well the issue may be in exposed than, I know NOTHING about exposed, never installed it. What I do know is I've taken 2 moto x on verizon running 4.4.2, rooted with towelpie, installed fx file explorer with root addon to confirm root, and than installed app quarantine and froze moto ota app, worked both fine. app quarantine is not set to freeze system apps when installed, you have to run the app and you will see settings tab at top when it opens and one of the setting lets you check system apps and than you should see moto ota show up and freeze it. if you are still having problems i will get the phone and tell you exactly how tonight. you may need to get that exposed thing off the phone first.

Once motoOTA is froze you can uninstall app quarantine and the motoOTA app will stay frozen forever.. good stuff!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] beelbeel:
Got everything up and running with the new version. Thanks again!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] momsi:
Thanks for your help. I tried to freeze motorolaota the like you described, no effect unfortunately.

I can't really imagine that xposed affects app Quarantine, but I will try to uninstall xposed and freeze motorolaota then.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] TechGuy77:
Thanks for all the hard work dev but this temp root method is just way too buggy. Root works for only a few apps and xPosed is a joke. I can install it and perform a soft reboot but once I attempt to enable any download, install and enable any item with a softboot, the phone gets really laggy and does a full reboot. I know xPosed is not yours to support. I can't even get full R/W on the system folder even if its only temp changes until a reboot. I can't wait until my warranty is up in 3 months....hello unlocked bootloader and full root. Please keep up the great work and hopefully this method will get better with time but its just too flaky for now. Sorry for the rant, please don't be mad at me for sharing my opinion. I'm just a 37 year old IT Admin who likes to tinker with my phone and code!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] fakieskr8333:
Don't blame the Dev. This method requires study reboots and the like because it is temp and because we have write protection. With write protection system changes aren't permanent and soft reboots are required.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
The app works as described. I'm able to root my phone with the limitations stated but works perfect for me. I have xposed working, tibu, and even froze the moto ota. Once I reboot the phone, it roots again for me, all I have to do is activate xposed with a soft reboot and open tibu.

[MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] did you get to look at the WiFi issue with 4.4.3?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Yeah I'm actually thinking about getting a quieter exhaust like a full race, but I love the rumble that the skunk2 makes. I definitely understand the cops part I have to make sure I look around everywhere before I vtec it, but I have a family full of law enforcement so I'm covered in a sense.

I've made a new bin.img with only the tmo 4.4.3 binaries, I've just been busy working on up-patching my rom's kernel so I can update it.

If you've actually froze it then you should be good to go, if you don't want to pay for an app then you can download rom toolbox lite to freeze it. Then you will probably need to remove the ota update somewhere under the /cache directory.

We all got it the first freaking time you posted it, so stop spamming the forum, I'm looking into it!

I've already stated on here that the bin.img mount was buggy as all get out, but it's about as close as I could get it to being stable. I"m not mad, but this is not the place for ranting just unlock and stop complaining, a 24 year old shouldn't have to tell a 37 year old that! I'm still in my warranty period but I've been unlocked for at least 6 months, just think if you unlock you can flash my rom and never have to worry about r/w issues again!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] gabloammar:
You sir have made my life so much easier. Thank you to you and to the developers who actually worked on the exploits.

I just wanted to report (as some others have) that WiFi is not working on 4.4.3.

I hope it's fixable. But if it's not I'm fine with that too I guess. Banzai! :)
[Moto X Themes and Apps] tnp9008:
Just want to add that I'm having the same issue with Xposed causing WiFi to break. I made a thread about it in the Xposed forum and will report back here if I figure anything out. [MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] if you need me to pull any logs to help you diagnose the issue let me know. I have adb working on my laptop.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cdysthe:
The app warns that "root on reboot" can be buggy. I was just wondering what "buggy" means. Does it mean buggy as in not working, or buggy as rendering your phone inaccessible? :)
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Johnny Wong:
For me, it meant random reboots. I ended up using Sunshine to unlock boot loader and properly rooted the phone. Have not had a random reboot since. Current uptime: 109:42:58
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Why would you think buggy means rendering the phone inaccessible? Buggy means some times it works some times it doesn't some times it slows the phone down etc, a couple of my testers never had a problem with it but some did that's why I put that prompt.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cdysthe:
I did not think it meant that at all (therefore the smiley), but wanted to confirm that "buggy" simply means what it normally means "it works but there may be some problems". I will enable it and try. I would also like to thank you for a phenomenal app making it possible for someone like me (who isn't much of a phone hacker) to get root on my Moto X.

P.S. Root on reboot works without problems at all. Great! Thanks!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
Same here. Mine works just fine. If I need WiFi I just unchecked the root on reboot and reboot the phone. If I don't need WiFi, then it's all peaches and cream. Appreciate it [MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] [emoji41]
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cdysthe:
I do not have any issues with Wi-Fi either. It's working perfectly.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Just updated the OP with v1.2 make sure you download the 4.4.3 version wifi should be working correctly now!

I updated the OP with v1.2 I changed the modstring for the XT1032 try it out, if it doesn't work there isn't anything I can do sorry!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] tnp9008:
Thanks for getting it fixed! Working perfectly now so far.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] BBobby:
Thank you for taking the time to modify the app. I now have temp root! Thank you so much. This is the end of a long search on how to root without a PC, and you have made it possible! Next step is Sunshine and boot loader unlocking! I have had the Moto G since the new cricket launched and I cannot wait to see how many great ROMs are out there. Thanks again!

[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Great glad it's working now!

You're welcome, I'm glad the other modstring worked for your model.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] BBobby:
I have taken it all the way to town!!! I figured out a way to gain full root, including flashing a custom recovery WITHOUT using a PC!

I have compiled a guide in the general Moto G forum.

But I must say [MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION], the first and most important step in the whole process is your app, towelpieroot. This enables the phone to get temp root with pie, which starts a chain reaction of actions which lead to full and permanent root, without a PC!

Thank you again! [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]

XT 1032 Falcon from Cricket GSM 4.4.2 stock
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
Your guide involves unlocking the bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked, u don't need exploit apps such as towelroot to gain root, all you need is a custom recovery such as twrp. Once you flash it and reboot from it, it will tell you that you're not rooted, do u want to flash supersu to gain root access? Swipe to intall supersu and u're rooted...
[Moto X Themes and Apps] BBobby:
Yes that is true if you wanna fastboot via USB, which means connecting the phone to a PC. I was under the impression that I could not flash a custom recovery from the stock one. I have been struggling to gain root because of non-access to a computer. It is a little more lengthy but I find this to be the only no PC guide around, since I've been looking for one for 4 months now.

XT 1032 Falcon from Cricket GSM 4.4.2 stock
[Moto X Themes and Apps] gabloammar:
Thank you so much! It works perfectly now! I wonder what was causing the issue in the first place but I'm glad it's all sorted out!

Thank you again! :)

Edit: related to the WiFi not working on 4.4.3 Moto X's.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
You can flash a custom recovery via a terminal emulator, you don't need a PC for that either!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] BBobby:
Well, although you guys are devs and have a greater understanding of the system I can tell you this information is not available anywhere in a single place. I accept you are right because I didnt have any knowledge of these things until I dug through. But no one had mentioned anything in any thread that you can flash a recovery without root through a terminal (let alone that a terminal would be useful in this process). I will modify the guide. I just think it is important to have all that information in one place, and any corrections are welcomed and appreciated. Like I keep mentioning I'm no expert

XT 1032 Falcon from Cricket GSM 4.4.2 stock
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
I never said you could flash a custom recovery via the terminal emulator without root. You still need root to do it without a PC, ex. download the recovery img move it to the root of your sdcard and rename it to something easy like twrp.img. Then open the terminal emulator type su then hit enter, then type dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery <---This path might be different on the Moto G you just need to check.

[MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] update... Everything is working fine. No Bluetooth, wifi, connectivity issues. All is great.. Xposed working fine.. Thanks again man for your contributions to the community.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
[MENTION=5503050]BBobby[/MENTION] the idea is that you don't need towelroot once you unlock your bootloader. You can flash custom recovery without using it...
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Baconberries:
xposed still not working?

I was pretty excited to see you got xposed working - but it doesn't seem to be very happy on my Verizon Moto X 4.4.2. TPR works, root checker says I have root. I made sure the "root on reboot" option was checked, then installed xposed 2.6.1. When I reboot to complete the xposed installation, it doesn't work. After reboot (soft or full, tried both) root checker says I don't have root, and xposed says it isn't installed. It seems to me that the "root on reboot" option is not sticking, so xposed can't finish installation post-reboot.

Anyone else seeing this issue?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
[MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] mentioned it was not fully fully working. I had the same problem when I updated. I had to uninstall previous version of trp, xposed, then do it all over it again and voila.... Like magic.. I have the power menu app and use the hot reboot when I need too. Sometimes I do the soft reboot from inside exposed and still works fine.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Baconberries:
Ok, I uninstalled TRP before trying the new version, but I might not have fully uninstalled xposed before I tried reinstalling.

After rooting with TRP and initially installing xposed, when xposed tells you to reboot to finish the install, did you do a soft or full reboot?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
I cancelled, then did a soft reboot
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Baconberries:
Ok, I'll try it that way. Thanks!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
I had the same issue you had when I upgraded to the new version. After uninstalling everything and doing it all over again it's been perfect. No issues whatsoever
[Moto X Themes and Apps] tnp9008:
I had no issues after uninstalling TPR and xposed and doing a full fresh install of both. Been very stable too; I'm at 118+ hours of uptime. Be sure and only use soft reboot when installing xposed and adding modules. After a full reboot you'll have to re-root, reinstall xposed, soft reboot, activate modules, and soft reboot again to get it back working.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cdysthe:
Looks like 'Root on Boot' isn't working with v 1.2 on my Moto X with 4.4.2. It works with v 1.1. Since i do not use Xposed it's not a problem for me but could be for someone who use the same phone and need v 1.2. Otherwise it's running and working beautifully!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Root on Boot is really finicky that's why the prompt warns you when you check the checkbox. Plus the Root on Boot feature has nothing to do with Xposed, it's purpose is so the app didn't have to be reopened each time someone wanted to fully reboot their phone.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cdysthe:
Thanks, so I'm just lucky that it works in 1.1 i guess.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] DoomMunky:
Just wanted to say thanks for this!

I have a Republic Wireless Moto X (2013) running 4.4.2. Version 1.2 of TowelRoot did not work; it wouldn't recognize my press of the Install button on the APK install screen (yes I have Unrecognized Sources enabled). Version 1.1 worked like a charm (and let me read the WiFi password I'd written down in a notebook that I then lost). Thanks so much!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] TechGuy77:
Well duh Google, I installed it on purpose to bypass security. Got this message today on my Moto X. Oh no they are aware.....moving on.....

Google is now pushing Security Warnings that states "Google recommends that you immediately uninstall this app: Towel Pie Root - It contains code that attempts to bypass Andriod's security protections.

[ ] Don't warn again

Keep anyway | Uninstall"

I of course selected "Don't warn again" and "Keep anyway" Nice try Google! Its my phone and I will do to it as I please!!!!!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
One new thing I noticed, not that it matters much, but I lost my boot animation now. When I soft reboot the phone, it shuts off... Goes dark... Then I get the aqua Moto logo.. Not the actual animation.. Anyone else seeing this?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] sui785:
Does this work on ART mode? On Dalvik it used to work but on ART I get "Failed to achieve root".
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
The sad part is it contains towel pie's exploit, but it took this long for them to catch it lol. I was waiting for them to flag it :p

You will get that occasionally with soft reboots, I very rarely get the boot animation when I soft reboot.

It's a known issue, close the app remove it from most recent apps then reopen the app, if it states not rooted then you will no it failed for sure.

Just a few quick questions:

This will not void the warranty on a 4.4.3 XT1053 (TMO), correct?

Will Adaway work or no since nothing is written to /system?

It won't be possible to delete /system apps, correct?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] samwathegreat:
1. No

2. No. AdAway does indeed write a new hosts file to /system.

3. Correct.

Don't forget that the XT1053 can be unlocked. Yes, it does technically void warranty unless it's the Dev Edition, but you will have persistent root, and full R/W access to /system.

I got an update to SuperSu 2.14, and for the first time it successfully updated binaries! Now I can actually go into SuperSU settings and change things (before it would only nag to update binaries).

Hi,

I have a basic question. sorry for asking if it was answered before.

I have a Verizon Moto G and it is not eligible for Motorola bootloader unlock (i entered the code in their website and it says so). Now i am thinking about using Sunshine to unlock the bootloader.

My primary reason for this is to use PagePlus on this Device. This device is new and was never activated before.

Is unlocking the bootloader using sunshine allow me to use PagePlus on this verizon Device or even after boot loader unlock it will only let me use on Verizon Network.

Thanks

mars.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
No, SIM unlock is what u're after, bootloader unlock is something different...

This is not very basic. There are lots of steps. But you don't have the right phone, you need a BoostMobile Moto G in order to make it work with PagePlus. There are instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2681166
