Simple Lolipop root

[AdamSHayward]

The free version of Wondershare MobileGo roots the MotoX 5.1 OTA. I just finished doing it. Just download, install and click the root button.

Anyone else can confirm this? Unlocked bootloader needed or not?

XT1097
Locked Bootloader
Android Version 5.1
LPE23.32-14
Kernel 3.4.42

Didn't work for me, just rebooted the phone but no root. Apparently it should work , it seems to be based on the exploit CVE-2014-3153

I think it only stays till you reboot phone. SU appears after you get root access, however once you reboot your phone, the root doesn't stay?

KingRoot - Temporary root for Att running lollipop

I obtained root using kingroot on my att xt1097, it was temporary, about 5 minutes. Has anyone use kingroot? I root on the first try, then I thought I did something wrong so I tried it again and it didn't work... Tried it like 15 more times and it worked again tried to install binaries with supersu and rebooted and lost it again. Repeated the process again and keep losing the root. Any ideas?

Yeah, ATT variant. It was only temporary though. Dunno what it was doing / using which exploit to gain root access though. Lol, I don't really trust this app. Tbh, I got a little paranoid for awhile...

Did you try SuperSU me on the playstore to remove the included superuser it installed?

I did not. Does it work?

I don't know. I'm too scared to try this root method. I was wondering if you could try it, I heard it works removing the kingoroot stuff and replaced by chainfires SuperSU.

I will try it out later tonight if I have time.

Edit: Nope.

Even thought root is gone after reboot, will actions taken during root remain? Such as uninstalling at&t bloatware while rooted?

I don't even see a "root" button when I install and open app...
