LOL! I ALMOST did the same thing then I waited for the GNex.

After the horrible radios/antennas on the GNex and the GNote3, I vowed never to get another Samsung.

I hear you. But the only choices for me where I live are Verizon and AT&T - Sprint and TMobile aren't options here due to their coverage. Someday maybe but not today.

For now since I still really like my OG Moto X, I can deal with Verizon. I will get the N6 but if the Verizon HTC M9 comes out and can be rooted, that will be my daily driver b/c the N6 is just too big.

I hear you about this too but why did Verizon allow the N6 on their network then? And how come HTC and LG figure out ways to have devices on Verizon that are rootable? Is it that HTC and LG are so technically inferior that they can't secure their devices against exploits that allow for root privileges or is it intentional that their devices allow this? I guess it could be the former, but I suspect it is the latter - they know that they will have increased sales if their devices can be rooted.

I suspect that Motorola's exclusive contract to produce the Droid line, which is geared as much towards business users as general consumers, factors into this.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
I know that is why I said "if" it gets root. I learned my lesson with the Moto X 2014 - I will not buy a phone until it gets root again. I was hopeful with the Moto X 2014 and now regret it.

ITA but the Moto X 2014 was designed when Google still owned Motorola.

Correct, hence my choice of the word "if" in my post.

For now, I am sticking with Verizon over AT&T (the only viable choices where I live). I still like my OG Moto X and I will get the N6 when it is released. Maybe I can get used to the size in time.
[X 2014 General] kirdroid:
Verizon allows phones which can be boot loader unlocked, they are called developer edition phones and Nexus phones. They just don't allow for every phone on their network.

The marketing strategy was different from Google for those phones. They tried to sell the galaxy nexus thru carriers and didn't work out that well because of useless Verizon. They went back to mostly selling from play store for the N4, N5 (yes also on sprint and T-Mobile who have been more google friendly from beginning).

With the closing of Google play edition phones, they went back to marketing nexus 6 similar to any other flagship and trying one more time with the carriers. Nexus phones are developer phones which are meant to be easily boot loader unlockable etc. That will never change, there are lot of developers who use Verizon and they need a modern phone which is developer friendly and has the latest software for devs to test and develop. This is what Google's Nexus line brings to table and Verizon doesn't change that.

Other phones are different, they are not developer phones and Verizon locks , bloats, stamps logos like crazy. OEMs have no valid reason or balls to ask Verizon not to do this. Some Samsung, Motorola phones get around this by offering developer versions of the phone. In fact if I remember correctly last year Moto X had Verizon developer edition. You may ask why didn't they do this time? Probably the sales didn't justify and also they have the pure edition without carrier bull**** and if you are on Verizon then hard luck.

Can't explain any other way if you insist or keep defending the worst carrier in the world. F U Verizon, thank god I use a gsm carrier and use any freaking phone I want.
[X 2014 General] TokedUp:
This is a completely useless thread in the community. Next time keep ur ideas to yourself. No one cares
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
I am well versed in what Verizon allows and I have the dev ed OG Moto X. And for the Moto X 2014, Motorola does not call it a dev ed, they call it the pure edition.

The issue is simply, WHY does Verizon allow the N6 and some dev eds but doesn't allow others? Why not allow the Moto X 2014 to have a dev ed when they allowed the OG Moto X to have a dev ed?

For those saying it was Verizon's decision and not Motorola's decision to not have a Verizon Moto X 2014 pure edition, then why did Verizon allow the N6? The response by some here presumably is because Google had the leverage over Verizon to force them to allow the N6. Well if so, Moto X 2014 was designed while Google still owned Motorola. So why didn't Google have the leverage to force a Moto X 2014 pure edition on Verizon?

The arguments make no sense if this was entirely a Verizon decision.

Why would what Verizon does affect sales of AT&T phones?

So then you are saying the decision to not sell the N4 and the N5 on Verizon was entirely Google's and had Google offered Verizon a N4 and N5, Verizon would have carried them?

So what you are saying then is that Google has enough leverage over Verizon to force them to carry the N6 when Verizon doesn't want unlockable bootloader phones on their network?

From what I am piecing together of your arguments you think Google has the leverage to force Verizon to carry the N6 but since Google only cares about having 1 developer phone on a network, Google was fine with Verizon saying no to a Moto X 2014 pure edition and so Google did not try to use its leverage to force Verizon to allow a Moto X 2014 pure edition.

Just trying to be clear on what your arguments are.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
I take it this is sarcasm and if not, then lol! My thread is one of the few threads on this forum that is actually active.
[X 2014 General] ricecake2000:
Well if I was in the OPs situation I would just buy the N6 now and sell the X to recover some of the cost. There is really no need to wait for Verizon. Unless you are waiting for a new 2 year contract.

There is still a good chance they are going to lock down the ones they are selling. I mean the Gnex was a "nexus" and look how that turned out.

Its the same for the n6. Delayed release so they can lock everything down. I can't be the only one connecting the dots???
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
Yeah, I am waiting on a 2 year contract otherwise I would have pulled the trigger earlier. But I also had a 2 week delay before my first Moto X 2014 shipped, then it had a messed up back, so ordered another and then wanted to give it a try to make sure I couldn't live without root. I tried, but I can't live with a phone w/o root. It's not the same experience at all for me when I want to do things with my phone and I can't. So disappointed that there weren't codes for sale.

For me I don't need the latest update right away, I am OK with waiting. But root, that I need.

I doubt Google would let them release a Nexus that didn't have an unlockable bootloader. Even the GNex had an unlockable bootloader.

[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
AT&T is good where I am now. I used to be on AT&T but when Verizon got 4G LTE in my area I switched b/c AT&T didn't get it here for almost another 2 years. Now AT&T and Verizon are equal here pretty much but back when I switched they weren't.
[X 2014 General] Skillinator:
No, I have the Moto X 2014 Pure edition. And my other claims are perfectly legitimate.

All you're doing is complaining about something you have no control over. No solution, no new ideas, just a complaint about how the Verizon model is unrootable.

You can't really deny that you've been confrontational with your claims in this thread. The post you've replied to me is a perfect example. No counterpoints, just "LOL!"

Motorola makes a device that is intended for people who want to mod their devices. The pure edition has official tools to unlock the bootloader, an important step in rooting. Plus you're not stuck with any given carrier, so you're free to move around to competitors as you see fit, and the warranty is not voided in the process.

What reason do you have to stick to Verizon? You said AT&T covers your area. With an MVNO you could get way cheaper service ($45/mo for 3gigs is what I pay) with the coverage and speed of AT&T. It's not unlimited and I know that a lot of people stick with Verizon simply because they're grandfathered into unlimited data, but if there's another option your loyalty to them (especially when they don't give you something you want, like a rootable Moto X) seems misplaced.

Edit: I see that you are grandfathered into unlimited data. If you'd have just said that in the first place instead of just saying "LOL!" I would have been more understanding of your desire to keep them.
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
AT&T is the way to go. You can use practically any phone you want, they have awesome coverage and great LTE speeds, and their new NEXT plans are amazing for people like me who switch phones every few months. Now they just added rollover data to all their mobile share plans, awesome. I'm using a PE Moto X, a Nexus 5, and an iPhone 6 on my one voice line, I just swap the SIM card depending on what phone I want to use at the moment. Can't do that on a CDMA network.
[X 2014 General] Denvertoad:
No, I'd disagree about the CDMA network. I use Verizon and my sim gets swapped daily between phones. Never had a problem.
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that only work with VOLTE devices? For regular phones, the carrier needs to physically activate it on the network for voice to work.

And also, you can still only use devices that Verizon approves for their network. With AT&T, I can use quite literally any phone I want, just as long as it physically supports the correct bands.
[X 2014 General] Denvertoad:
I bounce between an N6 and MX 2014. Neither of which are VOLTE devices. My wife also has two phones that she switches between, a Motorola Ultra and a Note 4. I don't think either of them are VOLTE updated, never had a problem with sim swaps.
[X 2014 General] _MetalHead_:
And voice works? I'm surprised, a lot's changed I guess.

a verizon branded nexus will have a locked bootloader

just buy the playstore nexus 6
[X 2014 General] Moondroid:
1. I'm also planning to get rid of my Moto X (2013) because like an idiot I didn't buy the dev edition. I'm just hoping to find a buyer who doesn't know how to spell "root" or "bootloader" ... like (probably) 95% of cell users out there.

2. I've tried 4 major cell carriers in the past 20 years and kept going back to Verizon (because I travel a lot). Just get off contract.

My humble opinions. Which are just like body parts :)
[X 2014 General] RyanTX:
yep, right now I am wishing I would have kept my OG X Dev edition instead of this 2014 model. missing root and xposed :(
[X 2014 General] anticitizen:
I work for Verizon and even I am thinking about getting a T-mobile account so I can have unlocked phones, even though I get a super cheap Verizon employee line. There are very few phones in the current VZW lineup that you can root/ROM. Currently using a Note 3 with safestrap, and there's nothing that I can upgrade to, until the Nexus 6 comes out, and I'm not sure if I want it.

I wanted to try out the X and the HTC M8, but both are locked. I can't live without root. :(

have you seen this from [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] http://theroot.ninja/download.html for the m8 not moto x 2014
[X 2014 General] anticitizen:
Yeah, but it's $25 to unlock. That doesn't really bother me - it's worth it - but the fact that they charge for the unlock means that not many people are developing for it, which means very few ROMs are available for the VZW M8. I am surprised that nobody has figured out how Sunshine works and replicated it yet.
[X 2014 General] JulesJam:
I am not surprised. They ask you not to try to do that right on their website and the only people who would be able to figure out how to do it are likely devs themselves who I am sure would not do it to another dev.
[X 2014 General] anticitizen:
The carriers don't like you to unlock your phones either, but that doesn't stop us...
