TWRP custom recovery gets support for unlocked 2014 Moto X

If you own a 2014 Moto X and wanted to get into flashing custom ROMs, we have good news and bad news.

The good news is that TWRP now officially supports Motorola’s latest flagship. The recovery will allow you to flash custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod, install custom kernels, and make full system backups and restores. TWRP is one of the best custom recoveries available for users that like to flash their device with new software.

The bad news? You’ll only be able to install the recovery on Moto X models with an unlocked bootloader. As of right now, that’s just limited to the “Pure Edition” device, and devices outside of the US that have been unlocked with Motorola’s developer tools. For right now, it looks like AT&T and Verizon users are out of luck, at least until someone comes along and figures out how to get past the locked bootloader on the carrier devices.

On the bright side, Motorola typically updates their devices extremely quickly, and they definitely have the least offensive OEM skin, so you shouldn’t have to wait too much longer for a Lollipop update. If you fit the bill for being able to flash the recovery, though, hit the link below and get started.
