[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] AlphaD1:
XT1080 not sure whats up

Ok so first off, Thanks to all of you devs for your hard work here, I have been watching for a while in hopes of Unlocking the BL on my MAXX, you're all epicly awesome for sticking with it and we all love you for it!

Ok now onto my... uh... situation? So a year ago or so I "rooted" My XT1080 running 4.4.X (I don't recall the exact update), hell I cant even remember how I "rooted" it, but at any rate it has SuperSU installed and even considered itself rooted on some programs but not others, obviously no system editing, I can root explorer to my root directory and do whatever I want there, even make it r/w save for the system folder. I am no pro at this stuff and I really don't have time to keep up as much as I would like with the kids and all so I am probably way behind on my information. So I figured what the hell tried to adb PwnMyMoto, I get the no certificate error, tried a few more times nothing, moved on to sunshine, after running sunshine and passing all the pre tests and even the rest of it up till it tried to temp root my devices, I at this point lost the half assed root I managed to somehow get a year or so ago. I am at a loss for whats going on at this point, I am very tech savy but I just cant figure out how/why this situation has arisen.

Any idea's on the situation? Naturally I want an unlocked BL but I know better than to expect that (but I can hope!) at this point. Should I try to find another temp-root and try sunshine again? I hope this question isn't out of place here but I read through as much of this 400+ page forum as I could manage and found nothing along the lines of what I am experiencing. My MAXX is one of the "not unlockable" ones so I seem to be seeing but I am hoping that at least the crazyness going down can help out someone else, or even that I can get back to my "root" that I lost. Mind you said root was not a 100% root as I couldn't use some programs that require root but I could others, I assume the difference being that they couldn't edit /system, but as of now I cant even r/w in the /root directory like I could before.

Also to note, my SuperSU keeps telling me it needs to update the kernal to work (a recent issue as it had not popped up with that message till a month or so ago) up till that point it worked flawlessly even knowing that it cant update my Kernal without an unlocked BL. I am so very confused. Anyway my MAXX was manufactured 2014, updated to 4.4.4 after I "rooted" it and the "root" stuck after the update. I really wish I could remember more details on how I obtained the "root" but as a massive stoner I naturally cant remember **** and I never think ahead to document my work. Let me know if you need/want any of the information about my phone to hopefully help with something (I wanna be helpful!!)

Sorry for the long post, I would put a potato but... ya... I hope this doesn't ruffle any feathers or piss anyone off and that it is in the right place. Either way, Thanks again for all the work you guys are putting into other peoples problems with little to no financial return on it, You guys are da real MVP:highfive:. Alpha out!

Edit: Also not sure if this info will help with anything but I also attempted a temp root with Kingroot after loosing my "root" to hopefully give Sunshine another try, it failed, after 15 tries I stopped.

Edit2: Ok so after messing about with Sunshine and Kingroot a bit more (and failling each time) Rebooted and SuperSu did its thing with enabling Super User at bootup, Rootchecker now says I am "properly rooted" Sunshine says my devices is not compatible (I assumed as much) so I assume its getting the root access it needs, however some other programs say "root access required" or "No root detected" ect ect. Sorry for the wall of text and rampant updates, tell me to shut up and I will, just trying to be helpful.
