Guide: How to Root Moto X with One Click Root App

Motorola released their first device this year after its acquisition by Google. The new mobile phone is designed and assembled in USA and it is exclusively available for people of United States only. Phone is being under contracts only so users can buy it after getting a token from AT&T, Verizon or other network provider.

Interesting thing in this device is that after getting the token you need to go to Moto X website and customise your device according to your need. You can view the prices of various accessories and after choosing all Motorola will ship you device within week. Another thing which makes the device popular is that it runs on almost stock version of Android and you can Access Google now without unlocking your device. All you need to do is say “Ok Google Now” and it starts operating.

It’s been while that device is in market and we got root for it recently.  Follow the guide below for the same also you can view the video below for better understanding.
