Moto X XT1060 4.4.2 Verizon

This is an excellent app! Been using for about a month and it works perfectly. My main reason for rooting is to use my unlimited data plan for tethering to my computer. I got my Moto X out of the box, so I was able to start with a new, unused phone. Step 1, I allowed OTA to update my phone to 4.4.2. Step 2) Rooted w/ TowelPieRoot. 3) Used App Quarantine by ramdroid to Quarantine (freeze?) MotorolaOTA to prevent update to 4.4.4. 4) Used Entitlement Bypass for tether: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/themes-apps/app-hotspot-entitlement-bypass-v1-1-5-9-t2705152

Works like a charm. Thanks so much!

This app is designed for Motorola devices specifically the Moto X, and Droid Maxx because of their write protected system partition. If you want to exploit the futex vulnerability download towelroot!

This thread is for the devices listed in the OP not any other ones stop asking, try towelroot if you want root!

Well why dont u make 4.4.4 supported

[Moto X Themes and Apps] DynamicDuamel:
im not trying to sound like a comletle noob here but im use to iOS usual one click JB or root. So is this a one click root method? Im trying this on my RAZR M 4.4.2? just download that TowelieRoot and it will root?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
I used this on my 1053 and it was literally a one click process. The Dev even asks if you plan on using xposed. I followed the instructions and it is a breeze. Even root on reboot works for me. It's been amazing.

1053 on 4.4.3
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mschumacher69:
U don't need this to root on an xt1053, just unlock ur bootloader...
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
That's a different topic let's not go down that road. Everyone knows what can be done to root the 1053. Warranty, time, knowledge, etc. Are the reasons why people choose not too.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Because the exploit was patched in 4.4.4!

Well it's not a Moto X, G, or Maxx is it? My app uses the towelroot exploit with the process pie root uses for write protected device. If you phone isn't write protected then use towelroot you don't need the added img mounting my app implements.

I didn't have a heart attack, I'm tired of answering the same freaking question over and over use the search button please. As I stated in the response above my app is designed for write protected devices and it uses towelroot's exploit. So if your phone isn't write protected just use towelroot other wise my app will probably not give you a full root!

Thank you for responding to that post I'm about tired of them. We need an option to mark a post stupid, and if it gets enough marks then the user has a badge added to his/her name for a week stating they're a dum dum and want some gum gum lol.

First off no the Razr M isn't listed in the OP, it isn't write protected so go download towelroot if you want root. Second I urge you to actually do some more research and figure out how to restore you phone before you ever try rooting your phone. You're gaining so much more than you do when jailbreaking a fruit phone, so you're at a higher risk of bricking your phone!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
[emoji106] yeah I hear you. I read it and it's like a kick in the worst spot. I bet for you it gets old. I like your idea lol
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
You're welcome, that's always the first thing I recommend to users thinking about rooting their phones, because you will eventually softbrick your phone at least once. Hmm I didn't think towelroot had any checks in it's app. Are you saying you tried my towelpieroot app or the towelroot app, there is a difference?

[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
Not sure if anyone will respond on the Moto X thread.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Did you just not read the comment or two before yours????? The Razr HD has the same system as the Razr M so no it isn't designed for the HD try towelroot instead it was working on the HD before the latest update if I'm not mistaken!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] hunter-seeker:
I tried v1.2 on a RW Moto G with Android 4.4..2. I'm still reading through this thread but noted one user with the same issue. The app hangs at "elevating for root" and then multiple Google services start dropping. On follow-up attempts it goes to a black screen and the phone has to be powered off and on.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
Then you're probably on an update that patched the vulnerability, my app uses the exploit in towelroot so if it didn't work then mine isn't either. What is the date of the kernel you're running?

What is your model number?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] hunter-seeker:
Hardware Version = P3C

Model number = Moto G

just got temp root on my moto g lte thanks to the devs

i see there's an option to reboot with root, i can't get this to work

seems like i need to rerun the app manually every time i reboot

is there an automated way to do this (im guessing that's what that option does, but it doesn't work for me)

also, you can't install supersu (binary) right? because that writes to the /system/?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] r_diaz13:
The OP mentions root on reboot doesn't work much. As far as the SU binary, mine haven't updated in a while and it's not asking too so I presume is not possible unless iKrYpToNiTe updates them himself and push the update out.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] robd007:
VZW Moto X on 4.4.2

Ok, it used to be that the phone would crash at the beginning after xposed soft-reboot, once or twice, but then once it didnt crash, it would run stable until the phone died and another reboot was needed. Now, the phone seems to be crashing a lot more during the actual use of the phone (more random, i guess). Do you have any suggestions for the crashes?

[Moto X Themes and Apps] xKroniK13x:
If it was a kernel built after June 2014, the futex exploit that this app (and towelroot) need is patched. There may be other exploits for your specific device, I'm not familiar with it. I know if you get it from Google directly, you can OEM_unlock it and unlock the bootloader, flash a recovery and root via SuperSU.zip - my coworker did that on his Moto G prior to a custom ROM

Intermittent Network Connectivity Issues over Wifi - XT1049

Hey guys, I've been running my Republic Moto X with TowelPie for some time now and it's been great, except for one problem that's starting to get on my nerves.

Intermittently when running on wifi, I'll lose network connectivity. The wifi signal connectivity itself appears to be fine, it just loses connection with the network itself. I installed MotoXNetActivity from Xposed so I could see the network activity on the icon. Check the attachments to see a screenshot of it, as well as a snip from an infinite ping I was running to the IP address of the phone when I took the screenshot. (Sorry, less than ten posts, can't post links =/ )

This happens regardless of if I'm on a phone call or not. But it's especially annoying when I am on a call, since most of my calls are via wifi, so I get cut off for a few seconds while it does the handover to cellular.

I've factory reset multiple times trying to clear this up. I've even had it happen on two separate XT1049's, as I had to replace it for unrelated reasons (camera died). I believe it may be Xposed causing the issue. I saw some wifi issues earlier in this thread that looked like they were related to Xposed, but nothing like mine, and they weren't XT1049's.

Anyone got any ideas?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
I didn't think about the xt1049 when making this, there is probably files in the /system/bin directory that aren't included in the other models. So when the bin.img is mounted over it those files aren't included, that's what was happening with the users on 4.4.3. If I ever get time I will try to make a bin.img for the xt1049.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] vitaminbooya:
That would be awesome, thanks!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] midnightsnacker41:
I have the Republic Wireless xt1049 and am running xposed, but the only module I am running is gravity box. I found out about towelpieroot right around Christmas, but haven't noticed this issue on my phone. It's quite possible that I simply haven't noticed it, but will be on the lookout for if it does happen.

update for 4.4.4?

RW Has pushed an update to 4.4.4 and I am unable to run it. Any chance of getting an update for 4.4.4?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Qwerkle:
RW Update

I have been looking into this. As I have the xt1049 and want the update. It seems we have 2 options. 1. wait for the firmware to pop up on file directory. Or 2. A full unroot and return to stock. Meaning reverting all Xposed modules. Then running the Xposed Uninstallable. After this has been done you should be able to recieve the ota and update without a problem. At least I think. I think I may just wait for the updated firmware to leak so I can just flash it. If you come up with anything let me know.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
No it says in the OP and is repeated numerous times in this thread that 4.4.4 patches the futex vulnerability. So no it will not be able to run on 4.4.4.

XT1049 connectivity issue

Any chance you've gotten a chance to look at this yet? It's starting to drive me nuts, having to handover to the cell network every time I make or receive a call, not to mention my wifi-offload nosedived hard. Republic's going to start wondering soon why my offload went from 100% to 3%, lol.

Thanks!

Yes, I get the "root achieved enjoy", and if I open Root Explorer and apply the button "mount r/w" it change, so for Root Explorer root is ok, but since I open xposed installer and try to install framework, i get the same error. I attached a screenshot.

Thanks!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] :
Go back and check in root explorer now. I just noticed that after changing something in /system it locks it down again and the only way to regain is to reboot and root again.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Vinyborges:
I did that. I reboot many times and check the mount r/w of Root Explorer and framework install. I realized that only after check "make root" I could change mount r/w inside /system, but even there I can't get framework install, it's always the same error "read-only file system" and when I check Root Explorer I no longer can change.

I really don't know what's happening here.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] iKrYpToNiTe:
SuperSU will not be able to update the binaries, I never could get that to work. But I have the latest su binary in the root so you don't need to update anyway.

This works for the Republic Moto X

[MENTION=4850320]iKrYpToNiTe[/MENTION] Many thanks! I am very happy to report that this works flawlessly on the Republic MotoX where neither jcase's pie method nor the towelroot method worked. I was able to use 'wireless tether for root users' (as a test of course- I'm not advocating violating the TOS) and exposed/gravitybox with this- no problem. SuperSu does pester about upgrading su but SuperSu does work.

So this appears to be the only way to root a Republic Moto X on 4.4.2 unless you start with 4.2.2 (which the stock phones are still shipping from RW with)

And many thanks as well to jcase and geohot for the original root exploits.

Hi,

You can install framework? When you press the button for install/update you don't get a popup with "read-only file system"?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] fa3sr011:
Thank you greatly for your work on this project. All is working well here on Moto X 4.4.2. As a side note I'd like to also say that Avast is detecting this as a malware on launch. I'm sure it's all part of the process but thought I'd let everyone know.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jcase:
I'm not going to ask that this is removed, as it doesn't contain any of my work that I consider important at all.

You really need to consider however GeoHot here. He went to great lengths to protect TowelRoot from copytheft, and included much analytics. This apk uses an exact copy of his exploit (the library), and is probably screwing his analytics to heck and back right now. He uses these analystics to determine what is or isnt working. You probably should reach out to him.

Outside of the inclusion of GeoHot's library, nice work. You can probably get around using the same package name as TR by just naming some classes with the package name (ie have com.whatever.whatever as the main package, then include an additional one with the class using the library).
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Falling_Rock:
I rooted with the TowelPieRoot, installed SuperSu from the Play store, and then installed the framework (version 2.7.something) and hit 'cancel' when prompted to reboot. I then soft-rebooted from the framework installer and was able to install Gravitybox which activated after another soft reboot.

If you do a normal reboot the framework won't be installed/active anymore and you'll have to run TowelPieRoot again, then install the framework and soft-reboot as described above. All of your GravityBox settings (and probably other module settings) will persist after the soft-reboot.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cyr4n0:
After installing the app superuser it is reporting that the installed su binary is 2.00 while I believe the latest is actually 2.01. Perhaps you could add the feature to add user downloaded su binaries or just add a su binary update section?

All in all I'm very glad I came across this today. Ever since I updated to 4.4.2 impatiently I've been looking for a way to root almost daily. When each of the two methods that you sourced from came out I was excited and subsequently let down when neither of them worked. However, your method works and I am very grateful for your work.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] EcHoFiiVe:

I really don't know what to do.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Falling_Rock:
I believe at this point everyone is getting the binary update error, but I can't reproduce the 'read-only file system' error. What setup do you have? Mine is an XT1049 with 4.4.2 and a kernel build date of Apr 3. Where are you downloading the xposed framework from, is it from repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer ? Try the previous version, and see if that helps. If not, I'm out of ideas.

I don't think that is the issue. I can uninstall TowelPieRoot and reboot, then root with pie, and AdAway and Xposed instantly start working again. It has to be something withing the towelroot portion of the app.

Xposed is my primary reason for rooting so I am just sticking with Pie for now.
