AT&T Moto X 2014 gets Lolliopop Root with Xposed, Tethering and HDR Camera Fix in new Mofo flashable image

Mofo costs you $20, but it lets you root your AT&T Moto X 2014 easily on Lollipop update. The new system image we’ve for share with you today does even more: it gets you xposed, data tethering and even fixes the HDR function’s bug in camera app.

Root is root, but availability of xposed framework is a handsome deal too — you can customize your phones exactly to your will using xposed modules now. Plus, the ability to share your data plan with other family members also sweetens the deal. Whether it’s worth $20 or not in case you don’t have Mofo already is up to you, but this is the best custom image to go for if you do have Mofo for your AT&T Moto X (2014) 2nd generation.

If you are planning to buy Mofo, go here. But before you do so, make sure your PC can run ADB and fastboot all fine. We’ve provided necessary links and a test to confirm it in our guide below, so be sure to check that out before buying Mofo.

Let’s see how to install a new Mofo supported image on your AT&T Moto X 2014.

Note: We will be flashing ‘root only image’ first (step 9), to gain root access, so that we can delete folders as mentioned in step 11 below, and then we will flash the modified image that will retain root and will get you xposed and tethering working.
