Root access on the Sprint, U.S. Cellular, and T-Mobile variants of the Moto X has been relatively simple and straightforward, as Motorola hasn't put too many safeguards in the way of consumers messing with their devices for these carriers. However, Verizon and AT&T customers haven't been so lucky. However, that might change very soon for Verizon customers, as developer Justin Case of TeamAndIRC has achieved root on their Moto X, and the procedure also applies to the new DROID phones. The root isn't permanent at this time and you might want to hold off on any OTA updates if you're planning on going through with the root.
It's great news nonetheless and hopefully Justin Case comes out with a more stable method sooner than later.
