If you'd like the easy way, I've already made the files for Republic Wireless Moto X. You need to use the ghost_repw-user-4.4.4-KXA21.12-L2.7-8-release-keys-cid6.xml.zip firmware image.

The initial root files are here:

The xposed extra flash is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61295242&postcount=51

The windows bat scripts may or may not be correct, I did the work on this with linux.

If you'd like to do it yourself I may or may not be able to help you. I used a bootloader-unlocked RW Moto X to create the above files. I believe in the thread you referenced the method was using a Virtualbox instance to be able to modify the system partition and I did not need to do that since I had the unlocked phone.
[Moto X General] abuttino:
Someone should bake in busybox..
[Moto X General] Nicene Nerd:
I actually have an unlocked RW Moto X and was doing this because I didn't notice anyone else had posted a public solution. I tried both using the VDI images and pulling straight from my phone. Any idea why mine wouldn't do anything? I'll download your files later to compare with mine.
[Moto X General] tormin:
I don't have enough information to help with that. If you want to upload your files I can certainly take a look and let you know if I see anything. Or alternatively post the steps you've taken in exact and complete detail.
[Moto X General] Abraheem97:
Can I flash/install custom recovery on my rooted Moto X XT1060 VZW variant through the apps available on playstore, if my bootloader is still locked? Thanks!
[Moto X General] cntryby429:
I don't think so. An unlocked bootloader is required to flash a custom recovery.
[Moto X General] Nicene Nerd:
As it turned out, it was a sloppy mistake. The bash script I wrote to setup the modified chunks was accidentally set to put the unchanged chunks in the _root folder. I was just flashing stock files, apparently.
[Moto X General] cyberg0d:
Thank You soo much everything worked like a charm, also flashed the xposed and installed the app, everything is working great! once again thank you for your work!
[Moto X General] DejanPet:
Can we use Stagefright to gain access and unlock the Bootloader or even kill the write protect on locked bootloaders? Can we use this bad thing to do a good thing?
[Moto X General] tormin:
Probably not. From what I've read an exploit using the Stagefright vulnerability could at worst execute arbitrary code with system privileges. We basically already have that ability via either the method in this thread or Kingroot. Unlocking the bootloader and thereby releasing write-protect requires the cooperation of the phone's TrustZone module. A vulnerability in the TrustZone code is what would allow us to unlock the bootloader. A TrustZone vulnerability exploit is how Sunshine works and the vulnerability getting patched in later versions is why it only works up to a specific bootloader version.

New Update!

Using [MENTION=4533145]Nicene Nerd[/MENTION]'s tool I created a adaway hosts file redirection can be found in post 4.

[Moto X General] ameen9711:
i did that right after root, and my device still have root
[Moto X General] lightningdude:
I tried flashing the AdAway package, but ended up stuck on boot. I've got adb, and so fastboot, but it won't boot up all the way. I'm running it the same way I did the original root script, but it's just not coming back up.
[Moto X General] jahrule:
You have xposed installed?
[Moto X General] lightningdude:
Yeah, I had xposed installed, but not adaway yet. I reflashed system, rerooted, then redid the xposed install, got it working again. I didn't try the adaway again, was waiting for input.
[Moto X General] pajkobajko:
So the root works for me, but when I go and do the same process again but with xposed, it boots up and the root is gone.

Anyone with same issue? :eek:

Edit: fixed with rerooting and installing xposed again
[Moto X General] fopoku2k2:
anybody knows if this would work for build KXA21.12-L1.26-3?? I noticed there was only mention of KXA21.12-L1.26

[Moto X General] lightningdude:
Do I need to do the Adaway first?
[Moto X General] jahrule:
Install root +exposed with new updated files from crashxxl (linked in first post and on his thread also linked in first post) then install ad away all should be good. If you have a problem after that let me know.

How to make native android tethering & portable Hotspot work?

I have a XT1058 from AT&T with Andriod 4.2.2. on Cricket Wireless, which I can't enable tethering as I can't bypass the entitlement check from AT&T.

Is there way to enable the native tethering after I root the phone with this method?
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
4.2.2? That's easy, towelpie if you haven't updated to 4.4.4. Anything below 4.4.4 you can root easy and bypass the tether check. If you need help let me know.
[Moto X General] shoulih:
Can I flash my ATT xt1058 4.2.2 to ATT_XT1058_4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.31.1_1FF.xml.zip first, then root it with towelpie and bypass the tether check?

For flashing to 4.4.2, do I lose my personal data? do I have to reinstall all the apps?

Also, where can I find the modified entitlementservice.apk file that will bypass the tether check for 4.4.2

Thanks,
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
you dont need to flash, i have stock verizon currently 4.4.2 rooted with towelpie, and tether bybass with an app i got here from ikryptonite, go to his site below and scrolldown to popular files, you need towelpie.apk and entitlement bypass.apk

This is if youre on 4.4.2, if youre on 4.4 you can simply root with slap my moto. BUT IF YOURE ON 4.4.4 youre sol, so if I were you id get app quarantine its free and freeze the OTA files so your phone cant update to 4.4.4

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

If you are really still on 4.2.2 than you are golden you dont need this long dificult root decribed in this post, you can run slap my moto and have permanent root with write protection disabled. But if you simply want to bypass hotspot check and use the tether than towelpie root and the entitlement bypass app is all you need, and app quarantine to disable the OTA updates that's major important otherwise it will update to 4.4.4 and you'll be screwed and have to use the crazy root descrbed here in this thread

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

I am happy to try and help you out its easy stuff if you really are on 4.2.2 or 4.4 or 4.4.2, I can have you rooted and hotspot working in 5 minutes

how to upgrade xt1058 4.2.2 to 4.4.2?

I want to upgrade my xt1058 from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 as I need to have Bluetooth BLE for my activity tracking band

What is the easy step for this upgrade without having to reinstall apps and lose personal data?

Once I am on 4.4.2, I will root it with TowelPieRoot_v1.2_4.4.2.apk, and tether bybass with EntitlementBypass-v1.2.apk
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
You are making this too difficult. Turn the phone on, the phone will say upgrade available, once it does this it should download it and tell you the version, I am almost sure you can't skip versions, go from 4.2.2 to 4.4.4, I think it has to download and install each one. Once you get to 4.4 STOP, don't install 4.4.2 until you root with slap my moto. Than you are done, no need to upgrade to 4.4.2

If you need to than you need to use sunshine and unlock the phone first. You don't lose personal stuff or anything when installing updates. Flashing you do but I never flash, don't know how, but rooting is easy stuff.

[Fire TV General] Sizzlechest:
This is excellent! Can this be used for the newer 15 version of Kodi?
[Fire TV General] harlekinrains:
This is blatant advertising. Excellent.

Someone obviously was looking at his google analytics and discovered a trend. Or got jealous of all those fancy Kindle TV blogs that offer no value add whatsoever (at least your community ...). They just are more easy on the eye = profit.

Though I think you could still up the fontsize of "easiest method" a bit.

Whats xdas policy for a case where this community is exlusively frequented anymore by people who expect picture perfect solutions, ready to go, and for profit 3rd party sources who use this forum to funnel traffic? You know, listicles would be the obvious next step... Keep the traffic on your platform. For the advertisers.

May I suggest to call this "convenience spam" and this thread would be a great starting point for a fully fledged discussion on that matter.

(tags: firetv, firetv stick, kodi, xbmc)

Let me start off this discussion with the following statement:

"This is truly a bread and circuses age in our history"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses
[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
The majority of the images on your "Install Kodi" page are stolen from my guides here and here. Please remove them.

It's practices like this why I refuse to cover your add-on or allow you to advertise on my site. Please stop emailing over and over about it.
[Fire TV General] harlekinrains:
To give this the only useful angle that is still possible at this moment - lets look at what is currently happening from an independent standpoint, with the informed public interest as the only held core value.

One of the click farming blogs is now accusing the other click farmer to have stolen images which they captured - willfully providing links to the source articles as well - to not miss out on this attempt on click farming.

The only saving grace you both have in common is, that you were providing picturesque step by step tutorials for the uninformed masses - and were hoping for repeat visits and ad revenue in exchange.

From the point of view of those interests who actually care about how this transition takes place, both of you glom on to the lowest common denominator out of the most selfish reasons possible. Your contribution are not the tutorials, really - it is page rank.

This forum drives some traffic you care to cut in on. You dont care about providing a place where the necessary discussions can take place, all you care about is generating short term popularity within the mass segment of challenged first timers. (The early movers game is happening now.)

You are the reason why XDA now itself is farming its users with listicles (just looked at the section titled "XDA Portal Posts" on the right). You are actively destroying any place where new debates can arise. You do this out of a short term profit motive.

Towards .ag, I hope you have coordinated this with the plugin coders - or I would employ them to seek out new management. Or at least have the discussion, how promoting .ag should work.

Again - I would also like to hear XDAs position on this, because their interests seem to go against both of yours.

Hoping this leads to a real discussion about the issues in the field, Public interests included. Commercializing the most profane information possible - because you know people will drift to what they perceive as the simplest solutions is exploitation no matter how you dress it up.

There are many sources that would like to profit from that at this point. I include reddit, where no sensible discussion can ever take place (because of skewed incentives through overly important popularity contests) as part of this list.

h.

edit: Also - aftvnews should be dependent on add revenue and special access by Amazon Also they use an Amazon brand in their title, so I'm not entirely sure - if the "and _thats_ why we wont allow _you_ to advertise with us" play is entirely truthful. Politics.

My play towards the user is - please get informed enough that you don't need any of the parties who are out there to scoop you up by the hundreds. They mostly care about their own short term revenue and nothing else. Become more than a number to them. Become more than someone who is in need of help - their entire existence - to us.

There is no free method of downgrading the IPL/SPL from the ported 3.08 back to 2.x, it will cost you 20 pounds assuming you can get it to at least the USB bootloader mode.
