Quick followup question/s - Say the above scenario played out to be true, and indeed we get a method for gaining root with locked bootloader... Would/should those interested in the method avoid updating their phone past a certain version (determined to be patched) because of the risk of the method getting patched? - And would inverse be also true that this method could work for 5.x only versions, and not the 4.4/4.x?

I promise to stop asking noob questions, this field is very captivating for me, and I love to learn.
[X 2014 General] bongostl:
We won't know that until/if a method becomes available
[X 2014 General] bmwh0r3:
The pure has root(via unlocked boot loader), its truly just down to if the same exploits(4.4 or 5.0) can be done WITHOUT the custom recovery if the exploits even work for the locked boot loaders. If I knew more about this subject and had the time, I would definitely try my best to figure this out. But I'm a sheep waiting for root like the rest of you. :( damn big blue & big red.

[X 2014 General] purejoy:
I'm from China.I can explain this.The root style they posted is only for a special moto x in China ,which they call "factory devices" .These phones leaked out from moto's factory in China and had an unlocked bootloader. These phones cover almost all variants of new moto x and can be bought from Taobao.com,however this phone doesn't have an IMEI number and has no warranty. Since it has an unlocked bootloader,it could be rooted with the chainfire's tool.

It seems that the latest CF-auto-root would just inject something to the system partion and not modify the stock kernel,hence, If they can find a way to disable write protection on a locked BL device, root would be achieved.
[X 2014 General] bmwh0r3:
Thank you x100000000000000! Gives us dumb Americans hope lol
[X 2014 General] Milly7:
I think that root exploit, if any, will work on 5.0. If they push another update, I wouldn't take it.
[X 2014 General] azndan2:
Yes, I am able to tether using PDA net. Just download foxfi and then click USB tether, it will give you instructions on how to set up PDA net.

It is an imperfect solution though as I need WiFi tether to connect my Chromebook and nexus 7.
[X 2014 General] dhoppy:
Oh well. Thanks for looking into it.
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
Unlocking the bootloader of the Pure edition does not void the warranty. Motorola is treating it as a developer device. I've already exchanged an unlocked Pure and so has my buddy, we had zero issues.
[X 2014 General] mdmogren:
I want root so so bad. Obviously unlocking the BL would be the holy grail but I would still pay a lot of money for just root. Is there any way we can start a bounty? Is there a good platform for bounties? We need to create incentive!
[X 2014 General] Shemploo:
That is fantastic news, thank you very much for sharing that!!!

Just curious, why have you and your buddy exchanged yours? - From one of the threads on the forum I understand that Moto gives you about 24h to exchange for a different design if you don't like how the one you got turned out?
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
That's exactly why we exchanged- we both decided to swap out our normal backed ones for leather. He loves the leather, I'm not a fan. Motorola actually gives you 14 days from the time you receive it to change your mind, not 24hrs. I did mine on the 15th day, took some major persuasion on my part to get them to budge on the extra day but they did.
[X 2014 General] Shemploo:
Well, I did some Goog'ling and indeed it seems that the pure edition is considered a developer device, and thus the bootloader unlock is not a warranty voiding act.

From the horses mouth:

That's nice and thank you for taking the time to find and post these links, but unfortunately i have the XT1092 model.. to be precise i'm with victara_emea_cust and system 22.21.19.victara_reteu.reteuall.en.EU.reteu

so... if MoFo or anything else does the work, i'm up to it, but until something emerges i will wait patiently.. :-/
[X 2014 General] slogar25:
Correct me if I'm wrong but you can unlock the bootloader on that model
[X 2014 General] SomniusX:
You are not wrong my friend, but i'm trying to have root without unlocking the bootloader.. it holds about 7 months of guarantee 'till expiry!

I want to tamper with things without breaking guarantee! We were able to root with locked bootloader on previous versions, i'm searching for a way to have root on XT1092 on Lollipop (5.0) with my device information above

If there is a way, i'd gladly pay for it the $20 but only if my bootloader stays locked.

In 7 months from now i'd be the first to unlock it and install Resurrection Remix :P
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
MoFo will work if someone will make a pre-rooted image for your device BUT MoFo trips the root checker and your qe will be 1/1 permanently. Outside the US, people have reported being denied warranty service due to the root checker being tripped like that.

So if your goal is to obtain root and preserve your warranty, I don't know of any method that will not trip the root checker. Even if you flash back to stock, the qe will stay 0/1 so it will be apparent you rooted. I don't know the laws in your country so I don't know if they can refuse warranty service for rooting.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

But unlocking the bootloader may not be all you have to worry about. Boot into recovery and check your qe - it is on the lower left corner. Does it say qe 0/0?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rascjp:
I am unable to turn on WiFi on my moto g 1st generation US retail global GSM. I press the WiFi toggle button and it never goes to on - just switches back to off. In the WiFi settings screen, there is no information and again I am unable to switch the toggle button to on.

The phone has been unlocked, rooted and TWRP recovery installed. I am using stock android Kitkat 4.4.4. with the xposed framework and the gravity box module. I have reset to factory and re-installed some back-ups which were created before this problem started, but still I cannot turn the WiFi on even with the factory reset or with the backups installed. I have also tried a couple of those WiFi fixer apps.

My router has been tested with other devices and is working properly.

The phone is under warranty, but I live outside the US in Japan and presume it would be a hassle to return it for a replacement, so any help would be most appreciated.

Thank you.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itouchables:
Hey man, since you unlocked your boot loader, your warranty is already voided :/

Try flashing the stock recovery along with a stock zip for your model...maybe this is a kernel issue...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rascjp:
Thanks. Will give it a go. I have a feeling it's a hardware issue though.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elrod16:
I too have ran into this issue, and for me it was having mismatched libraries for WiFi in /system/lib for the kernel version I was running. I would try reflashing the kernel that came with the ROM you are running.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rascjp:
Thanks for the advice. I flashed the kernel and that has not helped. I still have the same problem.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elrod16:
What is the logcat output when trying to activate WiFi? I find 3C Toolbox to be a useful app for filtering logcat, it has a free version on the app market
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rascjp:
Thank you for the reply. I have install 3CToolbox and gone to the logs. It looks as if the error I'm getting is "Wifi Service (1076) Invoking mwifistatemachine,setwifienabled" followed by "Wifi statemachine (1076) Failed to load driver". Is there anything else I should look at?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elrod16:
I would say that points to the issue being with the firmware or kernel module involved. I would suggest downloading the entire stock firmware & ROM and flashing each partition in fastboot. The ROM generally only carriers the /system partition. If that still doesn't work, it's probably hardware unfortunately.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rascjp:
Thanks, I'll give that a go.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emarian:
You should have no problem returning your phone for warranty if it does turn out to be a hardware issue (unlocked bootloader or not) if you follow this guide and re-locking your bootloader. If it's not a hardware problem then just that guide should set it straight.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rascjp:
Thanks. I restored to stock and the problem persists. One error during restore was that mfastboot would not erase user data.

Now the wifi will do one of these things: Will not turn at all (as before). Connect occasionally, then stop. Turn on, freeze and refuse to connect. I guess it must be a hardware problem, unless anyone has any other ideas. Thanks for all your help.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emarian:
Forgot to add that you may have to flash the default bootloader animation to get rid of the warranty voided page on boot. Can't remember if that guide resets it or not
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rascjp:
Yes, I'll restore everything to stock and send it back. Thanks again for all your help.

I have purchased brand new Asus Memo Pad HD7 Model No.: ME173X-1A071A and looking to add "theme" or simply update the firmware to 5.0 lollipop design, I can't find anything about that on Internet.

Now my question if someone know how to do, and where I can look tutorial or download the Apk, CyanogenMod rom.zip or what exactly need to do (+ Root of course).

If the Android 5.0 are not possible, will be cool at least 4.4 KitKat! Thanks in advance.
