I am trying to figure out if it's possible to root the xt1540. I've tried to unlock the bootloader and it keeps returning a failed status. Is there any method that anyone knows that can root this? All I want is to install a few system level apps.

How exactly did you try to unlock bootloader
There are multiple tutorials here... Unlocking the bootloader is purely a Moto thing though, maybe if you gave more details we could help.

what information do we have on rooting after the 4.4.2 ota update? Also is there any information on unlocking the bootloader? I'm trying to see what other people have tried before I keep going at the same things that have failed. Also is there any information on changing the imei/flashing this? My end goal is cyanogenmod on Virgin Mobile. I've done this with other phones and I just got my hands on this one but there doesn't seem to be as much into on this as others.

Root after 4.4.2 ota? no not yet unless your unlocked.
Unlock Boot loader after ota? no probably never.
Is it flashable to virgin mobile? maybe, not 100% sure but check out this thread by @dragonhart6505 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389740

****. So I'm holding an unrootable piece of crap? What information do we have on methods of root attempted and such. Maybe I can contribute to this I've got nothing but time.
Edit: your thread unlocks gsm support. VM would probably need me to reprovision everything and change my IMei to match a donor phone.
I've been attempting various root methods for 4.4.2 and for the RAZR in general. I've had no luck. Is there a collective of people working on this cause I'd love to contribute however I can.

Just as an FYI, that is called "lambda" which is a greek symbol.
Also, this works on 183.46.10 (the current KK ota that came out a few months back), but it does NOT work with the latest soak test (183.46.14), so you need to stay on 183.46.10, root with towelroot and then unlock your bootloader. If you do not do this AND if you take the soak test, you will be unable to root as a root exploit for 183.46.14 does not exist.
I don't want to say it won't ever be rooted, but as more and more exploits are patched up, it becomes harder and harder to root this phone, so your best bet is to root and unlock the bootloader on 183.46.10. Don't take the chance on whether a root exploit will be found or not. You'll save yourself, and the rest of us, a lot of headaches.
If you have already applied the 183.46.14 before rooting and unlocking your bootloader, you are SOL. There is NO way to go back to the previous version and root and unlock, so please do NOT ask how to revert back from the current soak test (183.46.14) and root and unlock your bootloader because you can't. You just can't, so don't ask.
I repeated what I just said because people always ask "well, if you flash back to 183.46.10". The problem is, the exploit that allowed unlocking of the bootloader is in a protected area that even unlocked bootloaders cannot write to without the proper encrytion keys. Once that area has been patched via the latest soak test, you have no way to write over it again because you would need the proper encryption key inside the image to flash in order for it to work. Unless Motorola becomes nice and gives you the key, it won't work. And the previous OTA's key is now invalid, so again, flashing the previous FXZ (183.46.10) will not work. It will just skip writing the protect area.
Clear as mud? Hopefully.
thats lambda....but you knew that

Lol, you need to replace "<unlock key>" with the code that motorola sent you via email. "fastboot oem unlock UNLOCKCODEHERE"

Yes I know that. To post the question here, I just replaced original unlock key with "<unlock key>".
It seems like I am the only person facing this issue.
I am thinking of trying following options. Please let me know, if anything will lead to brick my device.
1. I will factory reset my device and try unlocking bootloader.
OR,
2. Currently my device is running stock android 4.4.4 without root and locked bootloader. Can I downgrade to stock android 4.4.2 by flashing the stock firmware? then try for unlocking bootloader.
My Device is XT1033. Please let me know any suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

Guys, this is not a problem what anyone can fix here. Maybe one day. At least not now.
Use the Motorola forum in its issue related thread.

Factory resetting will not help! I did that too. I have the same issue. I'm thinking of downgrading my OS. But not sure if that will work.
You are not the only one having this issue and Motorola has responded to this issue:

I've searched up and down and all around for a guide but I have yet to find a way to root or unlock the boot loader for the xt1045. Ive tried towelpieroot, sunshine, framaroot and king root and still havent had any success. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?
You can't even root the XR1045 by cricket (ATT/AIO) or even unlock the bootloader with a PC. I have the same variant. ATT will not let you unlock the bootloader and even the Motorola forums say it can never be unlocked. I hope there is some sort of bypass to fix this
I tried googling it but I didn't find anything to helpful so I need to ask how do I unlock my droid maxx's bootloader so I can install CM or something else I am running 4.4.4 SU-6 with ROOT any help? Thanks!
No way
Does the V10 h900 have root capability for marshmallows?
I am also looking for root on marshmallows, any help will be greatly appreciated. thank you so much in advance
I can't remember. Can you unlock the bootloader on the H900? If so, you can root it -- even on Nougat.

In developer options, you can tick on OEM unlock, but I'm having a problem booting into the bootloader to finish the adb instructions to unlock the bootloader. Is there another way?

It's not possible to unlock the bootloader on the H900 via the LG website anyway.
I cannot post url's here but if you go to androidsage and search for the LGV10 you should find some useful instructions on how to root the device without unlocking the bootloader first.
I cant find anything

Hey guys,
ive got to telll you its getting frustrating. There is no way to access the bootloader .. Ive searched for 2 Weeks now. I watched like 100 Videos and read 900 Websites. But everyone says : Now access bootloader , Now access recovery mode. But that doesnt work at all. I think both modes might have been removed from the phone. Because everytime I try to access the bootloader my phone just restarts. And everytime I access the recovery Mode it says: No command . And yes I tried the combinations and adb I tried everything but nothing worked. Please help me
