Remember that this exploit is patchable so don't take any OTA updates.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
DAN Rosenberg has exploited the Moto X bootloader!!! "Goodbye China Middleman", "Hello, free unlock" (hopefully soon)

+1 (quoted for truth) -- everyone interested in unlocking -- hold up on any future updates. It is possible that this has been patched already in the recent 4.4.4 updates -- so those of you who were in such a hurry to update **might** be out-of-luck....
[Moto X General] HardBoiledGregg:
Wouldn't have known if it wasn't for you. Verizon has been beaten. BWAHAHHAHAHAHA
[Moto X General] :
This is great. Wonder how long until any releases.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Well...since he has made the vulnerability public, even if he doesn't release the tool with which to unlock, someone else likely will, soon.

Given that he demonstrated the unlock live @ Reddit, he most likely has already built a tool to unlock it....only time will tell, and (again) hopefully soon.

Dan is one amazing dude! :good:
[Moto X General] Verttex:
I don't think he has posted anything about it online. I think all this hype is other people at BlackHat talking about it.

Well I can officially say I am hyped about this! I was thinking about selling my X for a Dev version but this locks in my choice. I love this phone and its about to become more awesome!
[Moto X General] :
This is my favorite phone I owned so far. I miss gummy ROM though.
[Moto X General] HardBoiledGregg:
I really just wanna try cm11. WHY DON'T THEY WANT US TO HAVE CM11? Still thogh, the exploit is public. Even if he doesn't release a tool, not too long before someone else does. :P
[Moto X General] easting:
There's a pretty hefty bounty for this...
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
IIRC, Dan never collected any bounties for his previous exploit - someone please correct me if wrong. He works full-time in mobile security, and his company is called "Azimuth Security". While he is indeed entitled to such a bounty, it will be interesting to see if he claims it.
[Moto X General] EcHoFiiVe:
He claimed it last time and used it for charity giving. I don't think he kept anything for himself.
[Moto X General] HardBoiledGregg:
INstant respect for that man. Most would keep it for themselves.

[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
Wow. Very good news! Thank you guys for spreading the word, I don't venture into many different forums so this is the first I've heard of it.

I'm interested to read into how it was found. I'm also very interested in how to reproduce it ;)

Dan's earned more respect than I can have for a guy. IIRC as well, I remember reading about him giving one of the bounties to the Boston Marathon funds.

---

Quote from Dan (on some other forum) :

In light of recent events, I've donated $100 of your donations to One Fund Boston, a fund set up for the families of those affected by the Boston Marathon bombings. I encourage all those thinking of donating to me to consider donating to a reputable charity organization instead (or in addition).

[Moto X General] aptalca:
I believe that is because xposed needs root and currently there is no untethered root for the later Android versions.

Bootloader unlock gives you untethered root plus custom recovery so you can do nandroid backups
[Moto X General] sivarticus85:
Here's hoping us VZW folks on 4.4.4 are able to exploit this. It sounds like this is the first anyone has heard of it thus far, so maybe the vulnerability was unknown to Motorola before the 4.4.4 OTA was pushed. Wishful thinking, I know.
[Moto X General] pjsockett:
In his paper, dated July 1st, he states that some oems have already started patching this so I would bet that if you are on 4.4.4 you are going to be out of luck. Who knows, maybe Moto missed out on it, we will have to wait and see.

[Moto X General] Jersey846:
I must be making a silly mistake somewhere. Moto X running 4.4.2. The process went easily as it noted on the video. When the phone restarts it says my bootloader has been unlocked but I didn't have root. I ran TowelRoot once to see if that worked. I did have root, but when I restarted again, I didn't have root. What are people doing to gain root access permanently?
[Moto X General] skulldreamz:
You need to flash a custom recovery using a app like flashify or use fadtboot, then flash the SuperSU.zip in twrp
[Moto X General] Verttex:

So recap,

4.4.3 and below, it will work. If su doesn't work try again or try an alternative temp root.

4.4.4, is goign to be hit or miss. It will either fail at su (try again), tell you it wont work (you are SOL for now), or work.

[Moto X General] :
See the one stop shop root thread in general. ?

Though, why not a custom recovery? I think you would need one to root, to flash a rom, or the SU binaries. You can reflash stock after rooting.
[Moto X General] Topsnake:
It will fail with TWRP flashed. Flash stock recovery then OTA then reflash TWRP

Not to step on too many toes, but ALL Unlock bootloader information can be found elsewhere. This is for about the release of the app.

I think we are both boned till root exploit comes out.

[Moto X General] aviwdoowks:
Keep in mind, the boot unlock exploit for 444 needs root because it runs standalone (apk). The adb version (or whatever Dan did from a cable) would not. Yet for fee collection, they need an app therefore root.

So getting root first is the holdup here.
[Moto X General] Topsnake:
Its not soley based off root. The BL also needs to be exploitable. The jump from 4.4 to 4.4.4 changed BL versions IIRC

[Moto X General] rekids:
Called bank and they said they see it as well and said PayPal may delete the extra charges but if not the bank will dispute the charges with them and total time up to two weeks. There is a phone number wit the charges so guess I will try to call them first. Hate to disturb jcase for a refund but do want him to be aware of the what happened, so that maybe can make sure SunShine checks for a key before allowing to goto PayPal again or in this case 6 times.

Or something along those lines..
[Moto X General] twinkyz1979:
I believe at this time the Droid lineup with 4.4.4 has not been patched against this yet. As for the the Moto X or Moto G I cannot speak on. The 4.4.4 for the Droids came out before the 4.4.4 for the Moto X or at least on VZW it did. Now if you have a Droid on 4.4.4 and were savvy enough to use survival mode in SU before taking the update Sunshine should work for you as it did for me.

- Motorola Droid Ultra -
[Moto X General] MarcquisDale:
so no go for moto x on 4.4 unrooted?
[Moto X General] twinkyz1979:
as far as i know you must have root to use SunShine
[Moto X General] miketoasty:
And what phone would you go with? This isn't just Motorola anymore, the LG G3 has been out since July and only has root as well. Unless you plan on getting a Nexus you are going to see this with pretty much any current phone.

This worked for me. Droid Maxx XT1080M. I resisted the upgrade prompts for 4 months and am now happy with that BL UL'd. Good price at $25...many thanks to all those involved that made this happen!
[Moto X General] miketoasty:
No you do not, Sunshine has a temp root built in. If that doesn't work you will need to root manually but you will know before you buy if its going to work or not without any modifications.
[Moto X General] Datlore001:

[Moto X General] Ezekial:
I have ATT Motox running 4.4 through SafeStrap since December 1st of last year.

1. Does this wipe data?

2. From what I can tell, I if I get to this step I am effectively done?

In another words after I run SunShine & unlock the bootloader the phone will work just as it did before but with S-OFF? My plan is to flash a newer ROM at a later date but just want to get S-Off first.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
1 - It is supposed to work *without* wiping data

2 - Yes, it should continue to work just as before, but with *bootloader unlock* (not s-off). Don't confuse "s-off" with bootloader unlock. There is NO s-off for Moto devices. This means it will still result in a brick if you attempt to downgrade. You CAN, however, have persistent root w/write-protect disable.
[Moto X General] shadowk91:
This doesn't wipe data, Once you have effectively completed Sunshine, your bootloader is unlocked and you are free to put whatever recovery and whatever rom on. The purpose of my directions were to give you full root capabilities in your current rom to run apps like AdAway, Titanium Backup, Greenify, Xposed Framework etc. Essentially you won't need to use TowelPieRoot again and your device will stay rooted throughout reboots. Ideally, it's best to use a recovery like TWRP/CWM but if you're happy with safestrap then that should be good :)
[Moto X General] doitinthedirt:
you are golden running 4.4 just root with towelpie and then run sunshine
[Moto X General] fakieskr8333:
So if this can unlock without wiping why does unlocking with fastboot wipe? If it's too technical for this thread feel free to message me.
[Moto X General] Ezekial:
1. Thanks.

2. Thanks for clarification.

Perfect, thanks for the quick reply.

Don't worry I will be flashing TWRP, most likely the stock ATT 4.4.4 ROM with some cleanup, but I have this device so personalized right now (longest I have gone without flashing) that it will take a little time to get it all backed up and restored to this state. Going to spend some time investigating the ROMs out there first though.

Email me for verification, but I saw 6 come in at the same time, noticed it was all the same phone and immediately refunded 5 of them. 100% sure that was you but email me to make sure.

This happened because paypal failed to notify my licensing server the first five times. I immediately patched sunshine (without changin version number) to detect and block this behavior. If it happens again, the user will be asked to wait a minute, or email me.

It is now an unofficial Dev edition. Keep in mind that the rule against downgrading the bootloader and/or gpt.bin still applies. Treat it as you would any other bootloader-unlocked moto x.
