Support for Motorola XT 530

Dear All,
I am very new to Android and I bought my first android phone Motorola Fire XT 530 which is relatively a new comer in the market. I rooted my phone using the below link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271114, but I couldnt find any ROMs for this phone. Motorola has officially announced no ICS update for this model. Request any of the developer to throw some light on this model as this is the model of masses (cheaper phone). Also this model is not even available in XDA site. Please try to include this as well.
PLease post links to any good ROMs for this model

Motorola Fire XT has a locked bootloader. So we are not able to load any custom ROM or recovery to it.
However we are trying to do it by bypassing bootloader(like Moto Defy) but still no success.
Hit thanks if I've helped you.

PLEASE use search before posting "How to root (insert phone model & version here)". There are literally dozens of posts that actually answer your question. Have a good day..
EDIT: I'll throw you a bone; there are currently no free methods for unlocking Ultra/Maxx phones at the moment

I'll do one better there are currently no root methods free or paid if your on 4.4.4.

Root for Verzion 5.0

Will 5.0 bring a root method to the Verizon Moto G to the ones with locked bootloaders?

please, dont make a double-thread or another thread about lollipop doubts
anyway here is:
Chainfire has released an easy rooting kit for MOTOROLA variants. Grab it for your Moto G.

Looking in my crystall ball, I believe that it will come unlocked directly from Verizon.
No really - there isn´t even 5.0 for the other variants and thus nobody can know for sure. On the other hand 5.0 brings additional security measures, so there is no reason to believe it will be any easier to root than it was before.
And one more thing - did you see the sticker "NO QUESTIONS in This Forum"? Not only is this question pointless, but it is in the wrong forum as well...

Stupid questions late at night

Hi, I'm looking at getting a 32GB XT1080M to use as a test phone for roms, and possibly to develop on... As such I want to have one with an unlocked bootloader, but I haven't seen one for sale.
The Sunshine website states any 2013 Droid running 4.4.3 or below IS unlockable, so as long as I don't buy one running 4.4.4, I should be safe, right?
Second, I seem to recall something about being able to tell versions by the different storage sizes - something like all 16GB models came with 4.4.4 factory-installed. Is that correct? I thought I had bookmarked those threads but I can't find them at the moment.

Hi,
4.4.4, build 4-21 is the last one that can be bootloader unlocked with Sunshine. Go for that or anything below (4.4 or 4.4.2).
I advise that you ask the seller before purchasing to verify the version (Android version, System version and Build number), then search it if it can be unlocked.

Thanks for that detail. I certainly am asking, though it's not always easy. The seller I'm currently talking to keeps replying that they can install the Android version I want. Which means that it's either not updated to 4.4.4, or that they think you can downgrade from it.

Yeah, not easy with sellers who don't know a thing about their devices... I hope you find a device with an appropriate version or a developer edition.

nagim, would you also happen to know which release prevented downgrading to older versions?
I was under the impression that was a KitKat limitation, in which case I would pretty much have to find a phone still on 4.2.2 to be able to do any work with JellyBean. Is that correct?

If you pre order the LG G6 you shouldn't need root. Otherwise theirs the v20 or the G5
