I moved my Verizon warranty to my Moto Z so I can play around with my Turbo 2, and I was wondering if someone could help me find/install lineageos? I'm new to this but I would like to learn.

The first step would be unlock the bootloader.

Check the twrp recovery install video it should have the root in it. Once the bootloader is unlocked just install twrp then flash supersu.zip in recovery to get root. It's pretty easy.

So what if you want to move from 4.4 to 4.4.2 from an ATT, rooted, non Dev, non custom recovery moto x? I was under the impression using this boot loader unlock method only worked for Dev editions..

You are correct. Bootloader unlock method only works for Dev Editions, and phones from T-Mobile, Sprint and other carriers where Moto gives out bootloader unlock codes. If you have an ATT or Verizon retail or Moto Maker X, and were not lucky enough to buy an unlock code from the Chinese seller (before it got shut down), you can not unlock your bootloader and use TWRP to root.
If you have a LOCKED (and not unlockable) bootloader, like ATT/Verizon, and you are on rooted 4.4 using SlapMyMoto and disabled write protection by using MotoWpNoMo, taking the 4.4.2 OTA update will revert the effects of MotoWpNoMo, patch the exploit used, and write protection will become re-enabled. You will likely keep root, but with write protection enabled, any changes you make to /system or the other protected folders will be lost at power off/on, making root less useful. Since 4.4.2 also patches the exploit used to gain root, if you hadn't rooted before taking 4.4.2, you wont be able to root it once its on your phone.
HOWEVER... If you are rooted & write protection disabled with 4.4, you could consider using SafeStrap with 4.4.2. I don't know how well it works (I have a Dev Edition, so I haven't tried it), but it is an option for using 4.4.2

Hey guys,
So I didn't actually know that Motorola had unlocked this version of Moto X 1st Gen. I'm happy. I think I will be installing some custom ROMs.

You mean they allow unlocking on their website for non-dev versions? I'm on xt1060 and just tried to unlock to no avail.

Yes. I'm on xt 1052 and I thought I'd give it a try and it gave me an unlock code. Non Dev version.

You luckily have an unlocked bootloader too.
Question... I just got my turbo 2 today and logged in, set it to see developers options in it, and it has the option to disable locked bootloader... Does this truly not disable it?

Nope, as discussed in other threads, that's in the OS for the Nexus devices and doesn't apply to ours.

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. Development of initroot for various phones is happening in the Moto G4 Play forums.Here is the thread for the research and scripts for initroot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3639316

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.

That's what I heard too. Since a few days the Amazon edition is unlockable via the Motorola website and after that you root it as any Moto G5+.

It seems to be only a short while when it was possible to unlock amz locked devices. I think it was some kind of glitch because the server was down for maintenance after that.

Just got this phone today and didn't realize the model, cannot get unlock code, so they still have them locked down? I'm gonna hate going through a return and wait process again.

If you've got the Amazon edition with ads there's no way to unlock and root the device.

Verizon does not support unlocking DT2 bootloader.So no root and no custom rom possible because no TWRP.Maybe they will decide differently in the future.Who knows?

The TWRP for Kinzie will work for all Kinzie, including Droid Turbo 2 -- if the bootloader was unlocked. Verizon does not let Motorola do that, like they do for the other Kinzie. You would need to find an exlpoit like Sunshine team did for 2014 Droid Turbo (Quark).
