Moto X Root Instructions Now Available for Verizon and AT&T Model, Droid Ultra, MAXX and Mini
Moto X rooting instructions are now available for both the Verizon and AT&T versions of the smartphone.
The device could be altered on both carriers along with other popular Motorola devices such as the Droid Ultra, Mini and MAXX, according to a report from Android Authority.
In order to root these smartphones, users must download the correct apk file that matches their device, install and run it and tap "Setup." After this is finished, the phone will reboot and once it's back on the user will have full root access.
