how about u read around first and it wouldn't hurt to use the word "please" from time to time
You want the CF-Root thread in the development section.
As already mentioned, make sure to read read read before actually doing it.
I have a Droid Maxx, and Razr Maxx HD and perhaps some beer cash for the answer to root...
I was thinking flashing twrp, then let it root, or am i way off or require an unlocked bootloader? I tried sunshine, but no go as it requires root.
So if i understand, you can get root without an unlocked bootloader, or is an unlocked bootloader a prerequisite of root? I am thinking not, but i am a Windows/SharePoint guy and pretty dumb to linux...

You need an unlocked bootloader to flash TWRP (which flashes SuperSU). There is no known root method available yet because the phone has only been out for about 8 hours.
The Sunshine team has apparently said they will not be supporting Motorola devices for 4.4.4 in their 3.0 release, only HTC, so unlikely it will work there.
Has anyone tried Towelroot?

I think they said the opposite: "Verizon users on 4.4.4 you will have to wait for the 3.0 release."

Yes, that is in the website. Someone posted this in another thread here. There's no link to the OP so I'm not sure beyond what it says.

Yeah, I didn't think I'd need root but the dpi on this thing is just way too high. For being such a great display it's hindered by the scaling. Easily fixed with root though!!
Found this on some Chinese site. If I had a backup phone I'd try it. But I don't. So can't risk bricking. Anyone else want to take a leap of faith? Ummm... Won't let me post the link because I'm still a noob apparently... So gonna try breaking it up. Just remove the line returns and spaces.

Didn't work for me. Too be safe I used a virtual machine with a snap shot taken before installing so I can revert back without the risk of spyware. Also tried Kingo but no luck with either.
---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 AM ----------
Also vroot during the root attempt installs 2 apps on your phone and who knows what it installs on Windows without running a regmon, if you do decide to try it make sure you uninstall the 2 chinese apps when your done trying. Also like I mentioned above I would highly not to install vroot or Kingo on your daily driver windows machine. Leave the testing to people who have virtual machines they can install these apps on.
I have used vroot and kingo in the past to successfully root so I know they do/can work, they just haven't been updated yet to work on the Droid Turbo. Hopefully they will.

Dang, you guys got my hopes up reading through this.
I keep checking the other Moto forums for root options. I'm banking on anything that will root a Moto 4.4.4 phone will work on ours. The Moto G 4.4.4 update has a later build date than our version.
I have nougat already and was expecting for a easier way to unlock bootloader than in Marshmallow so I waited for it. Now with Nougat I see it very impossible to root or get Lineage. So can someone please do a guide for my problem please?

Lots of guides already.
It's the same process. Downgrade bootloader to unlockable version, unlock, flash TWRP, flash ROM, flash Gapps. Pays to read and search player.
I agree readling through all these threads its mass confusion. Some say it works with nougat some say it bricks there devices. Is there a simple one click root like wugfresh has with the nexus devices

Many guides explains very well. If you are unsure about what you are going to do with your device then my advice is that you stay on stockrom until you understand and know what you are up to.

Well to be fair you can just look things up for yourself. He does have a point, stay on the stock rom so you can learn more about the device. Read all the guides that you can find. No need to be rude, thank you.

Oh okay, let's just assume that you know what EDL mode, DFU mode, and FTM mode are. And that you know what happens if you get a DFU brick, what is the solution... Read a bunch of guides and help threads before doing anything, especially if this is your only phone or if you can't use the warranty
To be fair, there isn't a guide for using MiFlash to downgrade the device from Nougat to MM.
I'd suggest you look for the MiFlash download link in the Download Center sticky and then download the necessary MM ROM for your device.
From then on you can just follow a guide to unlock the bootloader using axon7tool and install twrp etc.

Very nice, but I think his problem is that he needs to downgrade to Marshmallow before he even attempts to unlock the bootloader.
I'm an A2017G user, not a 2017/2017U user, so it might be slightly different for you guys (didn't think it was?), but I believe that you can't unlock the bootloader if your device is already on Nougat, it must be downgraded first.

Yes you do need to downgrade, there's a toolkit that does everything for you and I believe it was mentioned a few times in this thread.
Ive seen a lot of threads about how to install google cam and im willing to. The probelm is i don't know how to do it properly. Is there anyone who can supply me with detailed steps to do it or is it possible to do it without root. Or is there any source of video which i can refer to. Im a noob and i need ur help. im not familiar with root
the best bet is to miflash an older update. the one that doesnt wipe everything when changing bootloader status, then use the old thread which shows the steps to enable eis and camera2api, lock the bootloader, and then update to the aug update via ota. This is the only full proof solution

To flash any (old) ROM, you need to unlock the bootloader. So if you're already updated, there is absolutely no point in flashing old firmware, you'll get factory reset anyway.

search the link you posted the op yourself and quote me a better solution resulting in a locked bootloader and camera2api+eis enabled. The only alternative is to press and hold "volume -" button while running "fastboot oem unlock/lock bootloader" to bypass wipe, but as many have tested and pointed out (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77250310&postcount=3), this method isnt the most reliable as wipe commands are still there in standby and a wipe is triggered whenever the user will boot into recovery (stock/custom). So neither your post provides any solution to the op other than searching threads for answers which he obviously would have done before typing a separate thread, but also you discredit the only viable tried and tested solution the op has atm, congrats. :good:

Before blaming others, try to think about what you have suggested
1. you are on August patch, stock ROM, locked bootloader
2. you suggested to downgrade, for example to January ROM
3. so OP will install January ROM, because January ROM doesn't wipe data. But oh no, it got wiped. How's that possible, someone on the Internet told me it's safe!
4. someone on the Internet didn't really realize, that ROM flashing will unlock the bootloader and as you are already on the recent version, it will wipe your data
5. so not only you wipe your data, you downgraded your system for absolutely no reason, congrats. :good:
And if OP is total noob, he should read first and try to understand how things work. Otherwise he will still be a noob and follow whatever stupid advice he gets. But be my guest (result can be seen here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/mi-a1s-destroyed-locked-please-help-t3839928)..

I was talking about the stock ROM, I was telling the op to flash the stock ROM that doesn't wipe everything when changing bootloader status so that he can enable EIS and relock the bootloader and no wipe will be triggered that would cause that persist commands to revert. Unlocking bootloader is meant to wipe data and there's no way around it other than the "hacks" which will delay the wipe.
