Here's the info from the .zip file:
Code:
***WARNING*** ALL YOUR DATA *MAY* BE WIPED ! ***WARNING***
We are going to run the "OEM UNLOCK" command on your device. If your device was not previously unlocked, this will wipe all your data !
After the unlock, CF-Auto-Root will boot. You should see a big red Android on your device's screen
You don't need to be unlocked prior, but if you're not, you will be unlocked after the process completes, in addition to having all of your data wiped.
Thanks!

Have you personally tried this with a locked BL? In that zip I found the file and fastboot BOOT ( FILE NAME)
( I have the pure edition with a boot loader already unlocked)
Are you sure that its a UNIVERSAL method to unlock any phone compatible? I know that is what it says, but it seems to good to be true.

I don't have a locked boot loader Moto X to try it with, but I agree with you, it seems "too" easy since we had to jump through hoops to unlock out boot loader using the traditional method. I just went by the message in the batch file, not doubting the wisdom of Chainfire

OK thanks, I have the ATT xt1097 but I guess I can't root with this damn locked bootloader. Man I wish sunshine worked for this. I would pay $100 to get this unlocked, no joke
I am about to purchase the Moto X Pure Edition for T Mobile. It is very important for me to maintain root on the latest stock OS for this phone. Do any of you perceive this as an issue? If am understanding this root proceedure, it is just modifying the current LOLLIPOP stock OS that is installed on the Moto X in order to achieve root? If so, then can the phone continue to receive OTA updates from T Mobile and still maintain root? That would be awesome if that is the case!

I don't have my phone yet, but I highly doubt that it will retain root after an OTA update.
Didn't work for me. Ran the Mac file and it ran the program and looked to work. But no root!
I have XT1096 with unlocked BL and TWRP recovery installed, what lollipop ROM can I install on it , currently have 4.4.4

Sad news, they should offer owners the option to unlock their bootloader so they can upgrade to Lollipop themselves.

At least we' re doing something,no matter what' s a result.
Verizon isn't going to let Motorola bl unlock these phones until they stop selling them like the X
But there is a new unlock exploit coming very soon that *will* work on the 8960/pro, so most of us will at least get 5.1 via cyanogenmod, it should breathe new life into these devices for at least the rest of 2016, maybe longer.
Maybe there is a chance to even get 6 via cyanogenmod eventually if the drivers can be ported from 5.1 ? Or is that an unrealistic expectation?
Let's hope this new 8960/ pro exploit is real for the sake of those who have not had the pleasure of running LP and MM on their machines. My MAXX and OG Moto X have been on LP for over a year now and it ran much better than KK other than the cell standby bug. I just flashed CM13 on this phone and it is even better. Testing out doze now, seems to be pretty good on the battery. This is a great phone, if it is bootloader unlocked!

root exists on the (verizon) mini/maxx/ultra (same phone internals) because of work done by crashxxl to bypass the bootloader and write over the rom via qload driver mode - basically he writes the changes needed for root and SU
I believe he figured it out by studying the developer edition of the device which is bl unlocked
it works quite well, we have root and xposed but wp=1 of course
laginimaineb's next announcement will open the device for everyone but I don't think he is releasing a proof of concept, at least not for this phone model, so if you are willing, we could probably really use your help when that happens
I'd be happy to send you a mini (to keep) if that will help motivate you

it's kitkat 4.4.4 - the only option right now unless you have a developer model or paid for sunshine so you can use cyanogenmod, etc.
SU6-7 rom was built December 2014 (sunshine cannot unlock this one)
SU4.21 rom was built June 2014 - sunshine CAN unlock this version but if anyone has accepted the OTA, it's too late because now the phone is SU6-7.3 and fuse blown
I can send you either SU4 or SU6 to play with

SU4 hasn't been available for a year now, maybe longer and you cannot downgrade these phones
verizon now ships all of them with SU6, so no sunshine, and verizon refuses to let motorola unlock the bootloader like they did with the X

There won't be one. They're considering it the same as the moto g4 Amazon prime exclusive version and neither Amazon nor moto will be releasing a bootloader unlock for the 1607.
As for the 1609, though, you could call their support line and request a bootloader unlock code, since the chart says nothing about the Verizon variant, so it's assumed that it counts as any other non-plus 4th generation moto g.

Yep, I went the same route too and thought I was getting somewhere. After 5 or 6 emails with support, they told me to call and ask for a bootloader unlock. I thought that meant it was going to happen, when really it was just them passing the buck and letting the phone support people tell me no.

May need the help of a some one experienced in cracking bootloader's and or rooting. I'll keep digging for a root solution and as soon as I get success I'll post here. If anyone else can help in the search or actually crack the code (as I like to say) and post it here, that would be great.

Does sunshine work for the the verizon version of thr g4 play?
I had two Motorola's phone before, and none of them was necessary unlock bootloader to be root. That is the reason why I'm asking this.
Can someone explain me, please, If it's not possible. What is the reason?
Thanks.

That is good news, I won't update then, when (if) there is a ota.
Hi. I have the moto g5 xt1670. I don't want the oreo ota, but the update screen is annoying. How can I stop it? Should I unlock BL-Root-freeze the app? Can I just root without touching the BL? Please help. Thanks

Question: Can I root the Moto G5 Plus Amazon Edition?
Answer: The Moto G5 Plus Amazon Edition is rootable via initroot so long as you have not updated the firmware.

Are you sure about that? I only ask because I read through a lot of that thread and nowhere in there did I get the impression that this worked for the G5 Plus Amazon. In fact, it seemed like they specifically said it didn't work.

A bump here... I have the same question. Have things changed since November?
Bump again... Just wondering where this device stands as my mom needs a new device and I was looking at getting this one as none of the new / current Moto devices from Verizon have root methods... She uses the unlimited hotspot on her old droid turbo at the moment...
Bump..I would surely like to know also...
The answer is the same... No, it cannot be rooted EXCEPT if you happen to have an old one that was never updated, so December 2016 (?) security patch... I don't remember the exact date but it was late 2016 or really early 2017, then it was rootable by initroot.
Any update after that, or one that shipped after about May 2017, does not have an old enough version to root with initroot.
The bootloader is still not, and never will be, unlockable... Even if you purchased the ad removal, or later got your ads removed for free, this will not change.
I have unlocked the bootloader and successfully rooted this phone and am currently running ViperOS.
