Comfirmed unlocked on rooted 19.6.3

Sunshine 2.61 has unlocked my rooted Maxx with 4.4 (19.6.3 obake). But somehow lost root in the process.

Now to flash TWRP, regain root, and then figure out where to go next. Perhaps Topsnake's port???

MANY, many thanks to Jcase and the guys here who continue to offer advice to keep this phone one of the best available.

CORRECTION: I did not lose root - must have hit the deny button in root checker. Damn - just to thrilled to be unlocked finally!!! Ah Freedom....
[Motorola Droid Maxx] CurbThePain:
damn.. your lucky you could get yours unlocked! I'm stuck locked because my debit card isnt working. wish google would just help us out and release the unlock for the verizon phones.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Alodar:
I got my Droid Maxx unlocked as well using Sunshine. I had replaced it awhile back with a Droid Maxx DE because I missed using Xposed when I accidentally upgraded to 4.4 and lost root. Now that I have both unlocked, I can use the older one as a backup just in case I damage my DE.

Which ad block is this, so I can talk to the developer
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Archangel:
I had adblockplus installed then uninstalled it after getting the license server error. I dont know if that caused the error, but after uninstalling it sunsine went fine. I remember sunshine saying that adblocker may cause a problem so I tried with it then without it and it worked after removal.

I used smart_root and he was able to root my DROID MAXX on 4.4.4 remotely then used sunshine for my boot loader. Can someone please tell me how to get my hotspot to work. I tried the entitlement check to 0 through sqdlite but won't work. Can anyone help (Verizon)

Thank you Topsnake it works perfect now.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
What exactly did he use to root it? What files did he have you download. I have a feeling he is more or less just taking exploits from [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] repackaging them and marketing it as his service. Not cool.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Frank T:
I have no idea how he actually did it. I went to that site bought a root package...downloaded a file called smart root from the site and team view and he did the rest

[Motorola Droid Maxx] aviwdoowks:
Your Maxx came with 444 OR did you take the OTA without keeping root?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Frank T:
Came with 4.2.2 JB then Took the 4.4.4 KK update lost root
[Motorola Droid Maxx] aviwdoowks:
Seems [MENTION=5781633]Frank T[/MENTION] was on 444 as well as any.

If he is somehow not. But this gave root only.

$50 for root.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] jcase:
If SunShine worked on 4.4.4 for you, then you were running a hodgepodge mix of firmware (which is why some 4.4.4 devices work). In these cases, you can typically gain root by flashing an older boot and system, and using one of my old exploits, or sometimes sunshine will be able to gain root on them on it's own.

I haven't seen what he is using to root but most people charging for root use exploits from people like myself or beaups or Dan etc.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Frank T:
So I messed up the order of my first post so I figure I will do it again. I had a droid MAXX on 4.2.2jb and rooted it with pwnmymoto from here then a few weeks ago I saw sunshine could unlock boot loader so did that then I accidentally to the 4.4.4 KitKat update and lost root. Found that smart root site and he remotely rooted it again. I'm new to this stuff so I'm not sure how he did it.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] aviwdoowks:
Even though you up dated, you still had root ability & you were still unlocked. Just flashing custom recovery via fastboot would have given you root.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] JooseyJay:
You had an unlocked bootloader when you had him remote root you?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Frank T:
yes i had the bootloader unlocked on 4.2.2 with sunshine

and is this the right forum to ask about a fail trying to install PacMan rom with twrp?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
So you basically paid $50 for something that costs about 2 minutes of your time? Nice.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Frank T:
Like I said I'm new to this and was unaware that it was something easy and since I can't even figure out how to flash a rom with twrp chances are I would have bricked my phone
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
Just out of curiosity, what does an unlocked boot loader accomplish for you specifically? It seems that you dont really know what to do with it.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Frank T:
At this point nothing but hopefully I get the hang of all this stuff and will be able to install custom Roms. Don't you need to have the boot loader unlocked to do that ?
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
Yup. Start at the link below. That's as easy as I can make it for you

Downgrade to 4.4.3

Anyone know if it is possible to downgrade to 4.4.3 and if so a link would be awesome , thanks
[Motorola Droid Maxx] weehooherod2:
This is Jake from www.smart-root.com here.

I can't root 4.4.4 on Droid Maxx's with locked bootloaders (unless it's the dev edition). Frank had an unlocked bootloader beforehand so obviously his device wasn't a problem.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
I'm curious, who's exploit do you use to root 4.4 and below for you business? [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]?

If so profiting from his work is a big no no.

Side note, I think charging the man $50 to root an already unlocked BL is shady. Just my opinion.

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

4.4.3 doesn't exist for the Maxx, and no you cant downgrade to 4.4 either.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] weehooherod2:
Just checked my records, I only used jcase's exploits twice this year. Most of my clients have Samsung or HTC devices though. In that case I just use TWRP via Odin/fastboot + SuperSU. $50 may seem like a lot but it takes time to talk to clients, back up data, set up drivers, wait for slow downloads, and spend 30+ minutes explaining how to connect to wifi. Plus the customer support that often comes afterwards. I sell a service, not a product. Most of my clients struggle to enable usb debugging on their devices so they can't root their phones no matter how open they are.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Topsnake:
I see. Well, fortunately I'm not [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] so I can't tell you not to use his exploits for profit anymore, but generally that's no go. I understand you're selling a service, but a service based on applying a developers hard work is kind of shady in my opinion.

I and countless others like [MENTION=2509024]samwathegreat[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION] have personally spent countless hours making guides to help users apply jcases exploits, but I didn't charge. Mind you, I still do a lot of tech support for this device. Like the guide linked here viewed by 13k. This is at its core the same thing you're selling.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2616104

That's $100 you've made that you wouldn't have if [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] didn't publish the exploit for free to begin with. This is why I 100% support the devs going the paid per use route now. I can appreciate the honesty though.

Just my opinion.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] jcase:
You need to get ahold of me so we can hash this out, charging money for us of my exploits is not ok with me without a prior agreement. Please email me so we can hash it out (I don't want money from you, so dont think I'm asking for it)
[Motorola Droid Maxx] livinginkaos:
At what point do you think that giving someone, who doesn't know how to operate only slightly advanced options on their device, root privileges it's a good thing? Honestly, you are charging then for a disservice by putting them at a greater risk.

The thing with selling a service using someone else's work, I can't even comprehend doing with express permission. Smh

And this is the sort of thing that makes developers want to leave the scene, and I don't blame them.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] as soon as I figure out some way to get at least temporary root on my 4.4.4 Droid Maxx, I will be purchasing Sunshine. You've been a great asset to this community, and everything you do is very much appreciated.

[Motorola Droid Maxx] Johnny Wong:
Trying very hard to not scratch the itch to unlock bootloader!! It is not a question of if I'm going to do it, but when. Already spent $25 on Sunshine to unlock my wife's Moto X but that was mainly to turn WP off so I can properly root the phone (TPR was crashing her phone at least once a day). With the Droid Maxx, I can't justify it at the moment since I have full root and there are no ROMs worth flashing. I have a Razr Maxx HD also and I am running stock ROM because it is the best out of all the options, it is the smoothest and have the best radios, all these AOSP ROMs are junk IMO, no disrespect to the developers. This is even more evident with the Moto X and Droid Maxx because we have the best features with Touchless and Active Display. Why would you want to lose that and flash to anything else. That's the reason why CM dropped support for the Droid Maxx. I just went off on a tangent there... To get back on topic, must fight urge to unlock! LOL

Why are you not happy with your Droid Maxx?

I am on 4.4, rooted but did not unlock since I am still in warranty period. I have stopped taking updates since I do not want to lose the option to unlock the bootloader. However I have had no issues with the phone's performance at all.
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Samg381:
Good question.

I used to have a droid Maxx HD from 2 years ago. That phone is the one where I learned everything I know about rooting and I optimized it just to my liking.

I always take great care of my electronics but one day I accidentally dropped it when it was out of it's case and it landed face down on the edge of a metal table leg.

Knowing my luck it dropped directly on the side with the digitizer so it completely destroyed that along with some other internal stuff rendering it inoperable.

Went to verizon and was told this was the only option so I went for it only to find they had locked down the bootloader with the vivacity the likes of which I have never seen.

I waited for months and even tried out some stuff on my own but when push comes to shove this thing is really tightened down like a server in the pentagon would be.

Just upset that I can't root this nice piece of hardware. :\
[Motorola Droid Maxx] s_u_n:

Just got the bootloader unlocked via sunshine.

The latest version of sunshine refused to complete the second set of tests.

my problem in my droid maxx are connect to hotspot and become hotspot, if i unlocked bootloader will it fix my problem... rooting doesn't solve the problem :/
[Motorola Droid Maxx] Nido221:
No it would not help the issue.

Unlocking required to flash the custom ROMs, recoveries,kernels and to get root access...

It can fix in the sense if it is caused by some apps or stock ROM. And you flash a new custom ROM...

And there is no luck to unlock at this stage you would probably be at (su6-7.7).

Hello,

Somebody has the ability to message my contacts on WhatsApp, despite me changing my phone (have tried both Android / iPhone). Not only are they controlling my WhatsApp, but they also have the ability to post stuff as me on Facebook too, which is quite scary (again on both iOS and Android).

Here's the really strange thing. They are now sending my contacts messages via WhatsApp appearing to be from my mum. My mum does not know what WhatsApp is, let alone use it - her phone doesn't even support internet (it's a Sony Ericsson T68i). How is this even possible?? I'm guessing they've found her contact on my phone (it's stored as 'mum').

I have no answers to any of this, I initially thought my Android phone had been hacked, but the problem is occurring on my iPhone too. My mum's phone has no internet, it doesn't even have a MAC address I believe, so they can't be spoofing via that method??

Help!
[Security Discussion] le grande magnetto:
maybe some other app required permission to access your whatsapp or something like that and now using it.
[Security Discussion] SuperSub100:
Across two devices? I have had to verify whatsapp on each device with an SMS each time.

[Security Discussion] le grande magnetto:
No, it is not needed.

Have you tried changing password?
[Security Discussion] SuperSub100:
Yup - changed every password. A simple search reveals it's quite easy to spoof a whatsapp account, which I believe he's doing. No idea how to stop it and how he managed to access my FB too.

FB sign in logs shows nothing suspicious, so he's doing it through my phone.

Have contacted WhatsApp support, not sure what else I can do.

Might change my mobile number, but that is so much hassle!
[Security Discussion] le grande magnetto:
You should go to FB settings and in Apps/Programs (not english FB currently) and disable access to whatsapp.
