What system version are you on? Is your boot loader unlocked?

Before you go through that trouble, we need to know your system version. If you're on the latest OTA, you can't root anyway.

Some OTA's break root. It happens. As it currently stands theirs nothing you can do.

Unless your boot loader is unlocked, you can't root .15. You could root .10.

Trying to Root/Unlock Bootloader

I'm a relative newbie to the rooting/bootloader unlocks and need some help. I'm on system version 182.46.10 XT926 Android version 4.4.2 and I have tried the towelroot/motopocolypse method only to have towelroot fail. I've tried several methods including the droid HD utilities, motochopper, but still cannot even get root, let alone unlock the bootloader. I would love to get a custom ROM on this phone and would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

There were two kernel dates, the later one couldn't be rooted. I think yours is the later kernel date. I can't remember the exact dates, but you find them with a little digging.

Thanks. And I assume I can't downgrade to the other kernel to enable rooting.

Normally, the answer would be no, but I'm not 100% positive on this one. The firmware versions are the same, so I don't know if it would flag as a downgrade. I'm sure it probably won't work, but hopefully someone with more experience will chime in.
