Yes, as long as your bootloader can be unlocked.

Even with out the bootloader being unlocked you can still root.

No, it cannot. That's if u run the tool and then unlock the BL. U cannot have a locked bootloader with root..doesn't work. Read that thread, it explains.

There are no root methods that don't include an unlocked bootloader.
Since the bootloader can be unlocked, there is no research in rooting and leaving the bootloader untouched.

But he just asked for root he never specifically asked to root without unlocking bootloader..
And I noticed now I only linked one of the two steps to root.. I should've also linked to this for after you turn it to the intl version ;; root tool

Thank you both very much for your time and information I really appreciate both of your guys this time and help. Take care!!!

Root and Bootloader Unlock AT&T XT1097 on 5.1

The latest KingRoot now can root the ATT Moto X on 5.1 (for real this time). I had to factory reset my phone before KingRoot was successful.
First backup your stuff. Then download the latest KingRoot apk from their website and install the app. Open the app and click on root. It may take several tries but it will work. Once you have root download Sunshine and click through the prompts, allow root access, etc. Enter payment information and unlock the boot loader!
So many times have I been let down by this ... I don't know if I should try it and get my hopes up. I'll be devastated if it doesn't work. xD
Edit: Well, looks like I am going to have to find a magical unicorn to gift you for this information. Indeed it works! Thanks much!
Congrats guys! I'm really happy for you.
Finally you can unlock your bootloader either!
just rooted, unlocked bootloader and installed cm13, thanks so much!!
How did you unlock the bootloader? Did you use sunshine after rooting, or some other method?

Does Kingroot keep failing for anyone else? Tried factory reset, should I not be signing in after that reset? This is try 6 or 7 I think for me, failing each time.

I didn't sign in or set up my device other than WiFi to download KingRoot as I was just going to reset and install CyanogenMod right after unlock. KingRoot will probably take many tries before success, it took me about 10 tries.
awesome news for sure but unfortunately i cant afford the $25 price tag to get it unlock, hopefully i can get it unlock someway other
Is it only for AT&T? if so, VZW Moto X XT1060s will never be able to have BL unlocked or rooted..

Verizon has notified Motorola that XT1096 bootloaders can now be unlocked via Motorola process. This has been discussed here:

I too can confirm that this works. I just unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP Recovery, and I'm on my way to flashing a custom ROM. YAY!
Side note: Paying to unlock the Bootloader is Bologna!!!

I have that and this all worked for me.
Holy sweet jesus my bootloader is unlocked!!!
I was about to go buy a new phone so $25 was the much more affordable option.
could i get marshmallow?
Could I flash the x1095 pure firmware to get marshmallow by ota??

[Q] Please confirm, though this says it works, it does NOT for Sprint?

http://androiding.how/lg-v20-root-status/
This doesn't specify T-Mobile version, but the linked thread does. I guess I can't successfully get this to work on the Sprint version, right? (DirtyCow). The reason I ask to make sure is because supposedly this dirtycow method works on any device. Thanks.
If not mistaken, this is only for the T-Mobile for the time being since its the only varient w/ unlocked bootloader

Damn, I hope we can figure out at least a systemless root for Sprint soon! Does anyone know if this has been achieved on phones with locked bootloaders in the past?

It is possible to root with locked bootloaders but not when Sprint removes fastboot completely from the phone. We cannot access bootloader and apply any fastboot commands so as for root for our Sprint v20. Unlikely.
I'm taking it back eff that then

nope, come back in a little time though if you're feeling lucky
Has anybody tried method described in:http://www.androidinfotech.com/2016/12/root-lg-v20-h990ds-nougat-twrp.html
That won't because one of the initial steps suggests that you follow the official bootloader unlocking procedure by submitting your device ID on the LG website to receiver a bin file which you would use to unlock your bootloer. The problem is, LG does not offer bootloader unlocking for the 990DS at this time and likely never will, so the procedure would fail right there and you wouldn't be able to move on to the steps that follow..

ATT VoLTE and relock bootloader?

Before I get this phone. Does anyone on AT&T know if they white-listed this device for VoLTE?
Also, can we re-lock the bootloader like Nexus Devices or once the bootloader is unlocked it can never be re-locked again?
Thanks

You can relock the bootloader if you want to unroot and return to stock.

Thanks I posted the question there..as I did not get a definitive answer. When I say relock, i want the behavior like the Nexus phones where it will do another wipe after the fastboot lock and fastboot mode shows correct lock status. Used to have one plus 1 and once unlocked you could never relock the bootloader..

AT&T only supports VoLTE on AT&T branded phones. So unfortunately, no.

par for the course w/ that company. I think they have taken the mantle from Verizon as being the biggest jerks. If it wasn't for their iPhone business, they'd be sunk. They have done a fabulous job of raising the prices of all things DirecTV too. ugh.

Unlocking the bootloader on your t-mobile oneplus 6T device

First you have to get your son unlocked and then active the oem unlock in the Dev section in your devices settings and then in 7 days you receive a token from T-Mobile allowing you to unlock your bootloader for you can now root your device right? So if I buy a new oneplus 6T out rightcan I have my device sum unlocked right then or do I need to still wait 40 days and then active the oem in the settings and then get the token in 7 days and then unlock my bootloader? Will you please let me know if I got some seizure right and if I have it wrong for you please explain the correct way I would greatly appreciate it thanks in advance take care

If the device is paid in full at the time of purchase, I don't think they lock your sim. But I would ask them to check right then and there to make sure it is unlocked.
I bought an oneplus 6t from tmobile on monthly payments , 1.5 hours later bootloader and Sim unlocked. No tokens or anything. Follow guides to flash international rom. Then guides to unlock Sim and bootloader.

So basically you just called T-Mobile and they unlocked the sun and the bootloader? Thanks In advance!!!

No. I followed the guides.
First guide is flash to international.
Then the Sim/bootloader/root guides.
Yes there is that way also, but a little more involved. If you follow the guides it should be easy, but just ask questions if there is something you don't understand.
