A tool (that's not per-device) would defeat the whole purpose....inevitably, one of the first couple buyers would violate the DEVs rights by uploading the tool to anyone and everyone.... That's like selling PAID apps with no copy protection or no verification against your google acct. The first person to buy it would send it to all his/her buddies, or upload it publicly.

My opinion is that something similar to the sunshine system is a great idea. Perhaps a "tool" with a one-time-use KEY. Or maybe get a set number of unlocks - something like 3 devices unlocked per purchase.
[Droid Ultra General] ericinmn999:
For what it's worth, I've been rooted and unlocked on this phone for months and run stock with no mods. Android has come so far. Thanks to everyone on this thread that contributes what I can't and has made Android what it is.
[Droid Ultra General] Einsteindks:
Still one or two (minor) things I have need root. Otherwise, pure stock here, as well. It'd be nice if a simple image/partition backup be integrated into stock recovery. I'd give up root for that in a heartbeat!
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:
Per jcase:

Support for Moto devices to be added soon to the "Sunshine" unlock app!!!!

DON'T TAKE ANY OTA UPDATES! HOLD OFF UNTIL YOU GET UNLOCKED!!!

If you appreciate this being brought to your attention, hit the THANKS button ;)
[Droid Ultra General] munkle:
Sir you best not be joshin...

For $25 I would hit that up in a heartbeat, only thing is my current maxx is having some odd issues (random reboots, wifi stops working, horrid battery life, 1 day tops with maybe 1 hour screen time), probably have to get it replaced first since the unlock is per device.
[Droid Ultra General] phukt1288:
Samwathegreat living up to the name! Right on thx to him and jcase
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:
Thanks for the compliment! All credit goes to jcase / beaups -- they are responsible for this. I'm only the messenger....
[Droid Ultra General] phukt1288:
Good new gets the messenger thanked 2 where I'm from and bad news gets him Sparta kicked into a big hole haha
[Droid Ultra General] josuearisty:
So if Im not even rooted on (21.11.21) 4.4.4, will I be able to unlock?
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:
We have no idea yet and only time will tell. jcase specifically said "Hold up on updating" until it is released and you unlock using it.

Now, since the Maxx/Mini/Ultra got 4.4.4 LONG before the vulnerability was ever discovered, my GUESS is that you should be able to use it. But it's a guess and nothing more.
[Droid Ultra General] josuearisty:
I hope so, Im not rooted but I really wanna get unlocked.

thanks
[Droid Ultra General] fix-this!:
Cant wait for this unlock and root. I hate the droid mini stock.
[Droid Ultra General] Archangel:
I hear ya brother! This brings up a question with regard to a good recovery. Right now I am using safestraps to flash zips, and it works great. However, making backups is another story all together. Is there a good TWRP recovery that is mini compatible and that I can use on my mini once unlocked to make good backups?
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:
Assuming this unlock works for you (I'm guessing it SHOULD at least work for you, camblue, because you are on pre-4.4.4) this one *should* work:

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost

Same recovery as the X. Should work on most MSM8960 devices (X, Ultra/Mini/Maxx). Key word is SHOULD.
[Droid Ultra General] Archangel:
Thanks brother, once we get this baby unlocked I will try it out.
[Droid Ultra General] The Omega92:
Hello everyone. I have used this site for information before but never needed to post. I'm not trying to be impatient or anything but I was curious, does anyone have any kind of idea when this exploit will be available? Days, weeks, months? I just want to know so I have an idea when to start looking for the exploit itself, or will a link be posted here?
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:
The only 2 people who know that info are the devs. The best we can tell you is 'soon'.

It will definitely be made known here when released. I suggest subscribing to this thread. Best I can offer...
[Droid Ultra General] The Omega92:
Thanks a ton for the information and the quick reply sir.
[Droid Ultra General] distortedloop:
Great news!

$25 is cheaper than the Chinese guy was charging, so no one should complain. [MENTION=234096]Omega[/MENTION] - asking for ETAs on XDA pisses a lot of people off these days...
[Droid Ultra General] J2theMatt:
What do you mean...?
[Droid Ultra General] mi6300m:
I'm going to make a guess and say that i'm screwed since I was part of the soak test for the droid ultra?
[Droid Ultra General] PILLMUZIK3600:
brah are u serious? Have u not been reading or paying attention? The exploit that was found and used was made after the soak test.. Youll be fine...
[Droid Ultra General] mi6300m:
Yeah I have been, and i'm still slightly confused. I got that soak test about the 2nd or third week of July. From what i've seen...Dan's report was written July 1st. So what concerns me is that the vulnerability he found might have been prior to the for 4.4.4 update some of us "took". lol I wish I hadn't taken that bloody soak test, but i screwed something up and lost the root that I did have. Ohh well lesson learned lol.

Thanks for your slight bit of confidence in the matter.
[Droid Ultra General] PILLMUZIK3600:
I understand... But luckily for us they couldn't possibly have patched it within a day and as all the devs keep saying DO NOT TAKE ANY UPDATES....so like the rest of the community we all have to wait and see.
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:
Guys: it is not known if it will work on 4.4.4 at all. No one knows and won't until release.

It could turn out that ROOT IS REQUIRED to execute the exploit. In which case......4.4.4 users would indeed be out of luck. Best to just WAIT and not speculate any further.

People will get very upset if you promise them it will work, and it turns out it doesn't....best to be patient.
[Droid Ultra General] Archangel:
Good advice, and at this point I am just happy that two professionals like Jcase and beaups have taken this on. I have NEVER had one of their exploits not work. I want them to take their time and get this right, I am sure they will come through as they have in the past.
[Droid Ultra General] ceelos218:
what about us that updated to 4.4.4 but managed to keep root and wp off with 4.4 recovery?
[Droid Ultra General] Einsteindks:
Best thing to do is wait and see. No real definitive answer can be known at this point, because they aren't done yet. Maybe we'll all have to flash back to stock, maybe not, maybe we'll all be ok as we are right now, maybe not, maybe only those who have root now will qualify, maybe all will be included. The very best things everyone can do, it's just sit back, crack open a cold one, and chill out until we have some actual hardcore facts available. If you've ever waited for an update from Verizon, this should be no sweat at all.
[Droid Ultra General] JarMagic:
Lol.... Good advice
[Droid Ultra General] chuck864:
Woot! Great news.
[Droid Ultra General] Durteedee:
Looks like they are getting closer, I wonder if my ultra will be able to do it

[Droid Ultra General] davidmatt34:
I hope so. That would be awesome.
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:
Just FYI: It has been officially released for the Moto G!

Still waiting on news regarding the X and Droid series. Please continue to be patient - good things should be coming...
[Droid Ultra General] josuearisty:
What Im really hoping is that this works on non rooted phones.

Or at least they find a way to root and then the unlocked process is applied.
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:

[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
Bootloader unlocking is not related to your phone currently being rooted or not.
[Droid Ultra General] yay pie:
It's a fair question though in regards to using an exploit to unlock the bootloader, versus doing it the officially sanctioned way.

Dan Rosenberg's RAZR HD unlock was a similar TrustZone exploit, and it required root-level permissions in order to perform the attack.
[Droid Ultra General] josuearisty:
That was why I was said what I said! If ot is not an official unlock method, in most cases we will need to be rooted, maybe this one will need us to be, I hope not.
[Droid Ultra General] jrk190:
I'm getting a Maxx as a birthday gift, will the Bootloader unlock make it SIM unlockable?
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:
Why would you need to Sim unlock a device that is already Sim unlocked?

Now let's not get off topic.
[Droid Ultra General] jrk190:
Sorry, my RAZR had to be Sim unlocked to work on tmobile. I'm excited for an exploit, is there still perm root, or does pie or towelroot not work? Forgive me, I don't have this phone in my hands yet.
[Droid Ultra General] Einsteindks:
These are all questions that can be answered with some 'Google'-type research. This is not the forum for those subjects.
[Droid Ultra General] s_u_n:
I will make it easy.

The first thing you do is disable mobile data and go to the settings - and "about phone".

Then see the version.

If it is 4.4.x already, then you are likely stuck. If it is just 4.4, then you can get persistent root with system write access, as long as you don't take future updates (which you can block by the way).

So, do not connect your phone to wireless and turn off data when you get the phone.
[Droid Ultra General] jrk190:
Thanks, I'll take a look at it when I get it. And yes, they are Google-esque, but I already tried a few times. This thread is somewhat relevant.

On a side note, I'm excited to possibly have cm11!
[Droid Ultra General] josuearisty:
I recommened you to stay on stock, is much better. Lastest Moto phones are stock 95%, with some additional excellent features and they are really stable. I just faced one reboot in 3 months using it.

If I unlock the boot, I will just root and stay stock.

I wish the new unlock method works like in the atrix 4g times, no root needed.
[Droid Ultra General] jrk190:
That's probably what I'll do. I put my XT907 back on stock and there's only a few things I miss, but live without. I'm excited for the horsepower, better resolution, camera, wireless charging, active display, and touch less control. The Kevlar is sexy. Mine is the redesigned Maxx with silver accents :D

Just excited to have a good phone for once!
[Droid Ultra General] teerout:
a de-bloated stock, that is. :good:;)
[Droid Ultra General] Einsteindks:
You folks do realize that with every non-specific posting, a false 'tease', of sorts, populates EVERYone's inbox with non-news of bootloader unlocking exploit? Granted, it's been a wait, and there's been little news, but filling up the time with quasi-idle chatter serves no one, and is DANG NEAR DRIVING ME NUTS!!! :P :D Pbttbbbtb!
[Droid Ultra General] s_u_n:
I agree. Mods should lock this thread and allow only posts which give release date for Sunshine app with Droid series support.
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:
Well....this is *my* thread, and if I were a mod, I might consider locking it.....but since I'm NOT a mod, and I wouldn't be able to *unlock* it when the product is released......it will remain open.

If I have the thread locked, it would be a dis-service to those who are subscribed - no one could alert them to the final availability of the exploit.

We are now on the *trust* system.

No more posts unless they involve the imminent release of the exploit.

Anyone who ignores this and posts anyways - we are all going to point, laugh, and make fun of you for your *inability to follow simple instructions*.

Understand? (Don't answer that!) No more posts until imminent release! Got it? Good....
[Droid Ultra General] samwathegreat:
Remember: No posts unless they involve the release of the exploit. Thanks everyone for following instructions ;)

I have something for you: https://twitter.com/TeamAndIRC/status/512422750640558080

It would appear that something might be happening *today*. No confirmation, just the tweet - take it for what its worth....

The Main reason I want root is tether.Next is root explorer and debloat. I got clockwork tether, USB, working good last night so #1 is kinda good. Not many ROMs out for these so I guess I'll keep being patient.

[Droid Ultra General] fix-this!:
I just used sunshine to soff my m8. Not sure im thrilled about another $25 price tag for the droid exploit. Jcase is making a killing off of this. No offense meant.
[Droid Ultra General] Durteedee:
Pretty sure he uses it to fund more exploit research and development.

Like the 650 he dropped on a droid mini after he killed a moto X. This stuff isn't cheap nor is it fast, I would rather pay him 25 than give cc info to a guy in China for his price

From the Dirty Droid Ultra
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
If you want the benefit of unlock it is worth it.

Since this will work without me or anyone else having to learn adb it is definitely worth the price of admission.
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
You obviously have no clue the cost associated with exploit research. Two days ago he bricked a device researching for the Moto G and paid 635 out of pocket for another to continue research. Guess what? Its released now for the G.

If you're going to complain about 25/device maybe you should shell out the $ for a dev edition.

But to say [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] is making a killing off of this is stupid of you. That man has done more than enough free things for the community to warrant such a small fee. Even a $50 fee is more than warranted here.
[Droid Ultra General] kanagadeepan:
Dear [MENTION=4256537]fix-this[/MENTION] by paying 25$ we are just covering a minimum part of his expenses, imho. The main thing he has spent a lot and we all can never give him back is the time he has spent, imho. No one can give even one minute of life to him back, so that he can spend it again, say with family or the sleep he missed for working this exploit, etc.

Here we are getting a near dev phone for just 25$ extra on contract. Here we are the most lucky people, imho. If rooting is not worth the 25$ to you, then it's OK, but keep that within your mind. But please don't hurt the feelings of the hard working people for the community, imho.

Sorry dear OP, I have read your post 125, but still can't resist to post this.
[Droid Ultra General] fix-this!:
i mean since i already paid 25 for sunshine id hope i dont have to pay it again.
[Droid Ultra General] wrldruler:
I've also bought one phone before, does that mean I have done enough for research and development funding and should get the rest of my future purchases at-cost? No.
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
Who pays $650 for a phone that retails for $449 off of contract?
[Droid Ultra General] Durteedee:
Its the store he went to only place around with it possible in stock

From the Dirty Droid Ultra
[Droid Ultra General] tom.etc:
if having your phone unlocked isn't worth $25 to you, do not buy the app. that's pretty simple. he ought to be able to profit from his work, and he does not owe you nor me nor anyone an explanation.

that said, post #125 was a long time ago.

Not 444 on the Ultra makes no sense, it could be they just have not tested it.

It seems to be that it will be a prerequisite for Ultra users too. A Maxx user said that the app was needing root.

It's live and it worked on my Droid Maxx (4.4).

Fair price and painless.

It did ask for root permissions, for those wondering.

[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
Read through jcases tweets. He says root is only required on the Moto g
[Droid Ultra General] Caseyk621:
I forget. Does jcase's pie grant root on 4.4.4? Now I know you won't have WP off after running it. But you would be rooted. Maybe run pie then try sunshine. Sunshine does require root access bit not sure if it needs WP off. Someone should try!

[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
I assume he has it packaged in the apk. Runs root script then runs BL unlock
