I have called customer service but they said prepaid isn't there focus :/ so uhhh... What? We just get screwed? How hard is it to release kitkat? Its out for every other carrier! Sorry I'm just so frustrated I can't reach anyone at Verizon that seams to know anything. My Verizon store didn't even know what a moto g was how do we get kitkat and will anyone ever get the boot loaderunlocked?
I've been wondering as well hopefully the answer isn't never. We shall see what kind of influence Motorola has over this device.

Unfortunately, Motorola has no say since Verizon is the one that also forced Motorola to keep the bootloader locked

I'm impatiently waiting for the update as well. Verizon has officially stated "a 4.4 KitKat update is planned for the near future" (via SlashGear) so it is almost definitely coming.
Do you think anyone will figure out how to unlock the boot loader?
Stock ROM was mentioned somewhere... But maybe Motorola will decide to unlock it, cause right now they are acting like Verizon owns them

Why are you all waiting for kitkat? What feature are you missing? All I've experienced with kitkat is the loss of flash. You can kinda sorta get flash back, but it's a hacked version and not 100%. You can use the Google experience launcher on jellybean, just search for the app and install. I have a Nexus 7 and removed kitkat because it wouldn't play nice with my Kinivio blue tooth. Jellybean works fine. Other blue tooth players work fine with kitkat, just not that one for some reason. (Disconnects and inconsistent performance on kitkat).
Anyway, just saying; be careful what you wish for. Newer is not always better.

We would need 2ndinit for moto g, that would enable cwm/root without unlocking bootloader. I own a Moto Defy too, it has locked bootloader, with 2ndinit I have cwm and custom rom on it.

The Verizon Moto G bootloader can't be unlocked, but the Boost Mobile one can? Makes me very glad I'm not with Verizon.
But at least the Verizon one gets signal in every place that boost doesn't

I am very jealous I can not unlock/root the Verizon Moto G (xt1028). These app updates I would love to intergrate into system, to free up that space. 8GB is not much and it sucks having a good chunck of that used because of updates. Using Xposed to add a few features to the stock rom I want, would also be great.

what i would have done is go outside for a few minutes and uninstall the su app. there is no way you could have flashed it in the store. @ home you can use this from your pc to flash it back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474393 although there is no way to lock the bl back as previously stated.
I know the nexus just got the 4.4.3. Waiting for when it's available for the moto G. But I've read the 4.4.3 has some difficulty or cause problems with root. If this is the case will I lose root if I update. Or should I go back to stock do the update and root again.
I appreciate any info...

not sure yet, since every model of the Moto G can have its boot-loader unlocked, im sure that 4.4.3 will be rooted very soon even with the difficulties if the OTA removes your root, i would just go with it.
Does anyone know an fairly successful root for the XT926? all methods so far have failed.

Specifically, which version of 4.1.2? Depending on which version you have, you either can use the old root method (http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...ot-razr-hd-xt926-for-locked-devices-on-91879/) or the new method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602592).
Only use the new method if you are on 9.30.1. Anything before that can use the one before that.
I am on the 9.30.1 sorry when I Googled the root I couldn't find one for this version.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I am not boot loader unlocked but I will give it a try.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Then you want the new root method (known as Saferoot). Not sure why you mentioned you have a locked bootloader, because if you did have an unlocked bootloader, then you wouldn't have to use any of the methods I just posted. You could just sideload it via a custom recovery. But, since you have a locked bootloader, then you have to use the Saferoot method since you are on 9.30.1.
Ok I will use the second link in your post and try it out. I am understanding that there is no unlock for the 9.30.1 bootloader am I correct?

Correct. The only way to unlock it now is if Motorola/Verizon allows it to be. Otherwise, the exploit that use to exist is no longer available as it has been patched and there is no way to go back and put the exploit back in. It's been patched and lost forever.
But, with the Saferoot option, you can still root the phone. However, DO NOT GO TO KITKAT! If you do, you will lose root for good. Some are trying to find a way to find a new exploit to allow rooting under KitKat, but at this time, there is no way to preserve root over to KitKat nor root KitKat.
So, if you wish to keep root, stay on 9.30.1 JB and pray that someone finds a way to root KitKat for locked bootloaders.
Don't worry about the KK update my dad updated and he can't teather WiFi now.

Yup. That exploit requires root as it is and it's been patched. There is a way to enable it, but it requires root, so unless you have root, WiFi tethering is gone under KitKat, at least hacking it for free is gone.
So is writing to the external SD card for apps. Apps can only write to a certain directory on the external SD card, unless you have root, which in case you can then hack it to work like it did under JB. otherwise, any apps that attempt to write to the external SD card won't be able to except for their directory under the Android/data directory. And then, if you uninstall the app, it wipes out all the files saved to the SD card.
Again, having root will fix this, but only if you have an unlocked bootloader since that is the only way to get root under KitKat for the XT926.

Well I mean technically we could root it without bootloader unlock, but there are no *publicly* known exploits. There is a 4.4.4 root method for the X, and if I'm not mistaken this could be ported to this device but I guess no one really wants to do it
