Need help with Moto X rooting (first timer)
Alright, first - thanks for suggesting Minimal ABD and Fastboot. I installed it and every worked easily and perfectly. I now have the bootloader unlocked.
This is the guide that I'm following for the actual rooting process, and they say that the phone should appear in the Device Manager as "Motorola ADB Interface", but when I plug my phone in it says "Mot Single ADB Interface". Does that difference matter at all, or can I go ahead with the root?
EDIT: I was able to flash both TWRP and CWM recovery img files to the phone, and I downloaded SuperSU.zip to the phone like the instructions say, but when I go into the recovery menu it gives me the "Bootloader Unlocker" warning splash screen, and then is displays a Android on it's back with the front panel open and a red triangle with an exclamation point, and it says "No command." underneath it. After it sits there for a couple minutes the phone just reboots and goes into the OS. Any suggestions on where to go from here?
you didn't install the recovery then. first, I'd recommend using exclusively TWRP since it's just a superior recovery system versus CWM, and more ROM developers support it.
Second, go into fastboot mode and use the command "fastboot flash recovery *insert TWRP image filname here*.img"
Then you should be able to get into the recovery using whatever button combination to get in it.
