[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, me too, Scott. (That is your name, right?)

There are a small handful of coders who can look for exploits in the new Turbo (Dan Rosenberg?) and XDA is one of THE biggest and most respected Android and developer sites there are. It stands to reason that if an exploit is found, it would show up here pretty fast. You got the XDA Droid Turbo Root Thread bookmarked or are a subscriber, by chance? It would probably be a good idea to check it out. There are currently only 11 pages to read so far, and you will get email notice if another post is added.

I started with rooting my Droid X and I was pretty nervous about the entire thing until I got it done and found it wasn't that bad and I got it done. I joined DroidXforums and learned how to root there and became a well liked member. I had 2 really good friends, one is a data entry clerk who not only could keep up with "the books" that I write, but he would write volumes back. He was also a very experienced rommer and modder. The other friend was a developer who not only created the root scripts, but created a 6 disc iso file collection to cover every model phone and get the rooting done in Linux. It was neat, you boot to the CD you burned from the iso image, the PC would boot to Linux and open up the root script. You plugged in the device in AP Fastboot and the script did the rest. Man, that was ingenious! These guys prodded me for about a year to start romming and *really* join the party. I was too nervous at first, then I did not like the iPhone roms or miui. The data entry guy showed me screenshots of his miui phone and it didn't look like anything on the miui site, he had it so ramped up and the battery would last for days, man. I finally took the rom advice when I found cm10. Now THAT was a rom I could relate to. I have been rooting and romming ever since and stuck with CyanogenMod roms because they were not "so different" than blur but contained NO bloat, ads, or garbage. These roms were nice. Then I found out what the rewards were. Free WiFi Hotspot, ad blocking, no bloat or crap, customizable, and I was sold, dude. I am not giving up rooting and romming, ever. :)

You know what Verizon is trying to do? The same thing as the beginning of the cable war. When cable came to town, we actually had to "pay for TV". This was a hard sell because Kellogs and Ford always paid for TV. Now us? But so many channels and such a good picture, it was worth it if the price was not too high and it wasn't. There were premium channels like Cinemax and HBO and there were pay channels like adult content and pay per view. We had black boxes and filters and everything you could think of to get this stuff free. The cable companies were not giving up, they were out to dominate. And they did. With digital cable, there is no way to beat the system. Your box is addressable and with a few key clicks or click of the mouse, you are shut down or got your premium content. All digitally scrambled witch such strong cyphering that no one could break it. Now companies like Comcast have you in the palm of their hands and you get NOTHING for free unless they want it that way. If Verizon can rid themselves of rooted customers, the could effectively do the same thing and don't think they are not trying. This "Trojan Horse" Turbo is a great example. Take that offer and your rooting days are over, or so they think. The only thing that scares Verizon more than a root customer is a root customer who teaches others how to root. ;)

You are right, Scott, I want to be wrong this time. But for for sure I am doing my homework from now on. Hope to see you soon, take care my friend. :)
