I'm sure that everyone here realizes all of the avoidable warranty replacements that Verizon wishes to avoid, which caused by people inadvertantly, and avoidably, bricking their rooted phones. Now, I realize that an unlocked boot loader trips an "eFuse", which places permanent info to be displayed stating that the software/bootloader has been altered, thus voiding the warranty, but we, as paying adults, should be able to shoulder the burden of going " warranty-less" ourselves.

A solution, perhaps, would be for Verizon to partner with Motorola, and let users who want to unlock "register" their devices to receive an unlock code, thus putting their IMEI on a list that both V and M have, releasing them from any warranty and liability... Sounds simple enough to me, but I know that there will always be people trying to subvert the system, therefore scaring Verizon away from this approach...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lafont28:
At the risk of sounding like a d*ck, this has been suggested about every device released under the Droid brand and it will never happen. Vzw says that root/custom ROMs are too great of a security risk to be allowed on there network so they will not sell or support devices with unlockable bootloaders. That's why dev editions can only be bought straight from manufacturers
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] 335Deezl:
No worries. I don't think that you sounded brash at all.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] stormfinder:
I will happily throw down $100 usd for root, 250 for bl unlock. Lets get this done!

Has anyone tried modifying the ota yet, maybe try and replace stock recovery, or inject supersu?

It has been a very long time since i last did any rom work (htc dinc) so not really up on things?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cam30era:
If you are talking about the 2014 Moto X, there is no root exploit for the Verizon version. In the same boat as the Turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dmbtech:
This cannot be done, as the stock recovery requires a signed OTA, if we modify it the signature validaation will fail.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] renegadeone8:
Modifying the OTA immediately alters the digital sig that validates the firmware version. "Injecting" superSU has no effect. The superuser app itself actually has no effect on the ability to root, it is just a gateway program to manage a rooted phone. My turbo installed superuser from first boot (because it was installed on my previous devices) but it is worthless without a working root.

No. You can't bring ANY non VZW branded device to Verizon's network as far as I know. The original Nexus 7 was found to work perfectly on VZW for a few days by SIM swapping when it first came out, but it was only a few days before Verizon blocked them all. They were only allowed back onto the network once Verizon officially launched the device themselves.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PerCompLLC:
I'm guessing that the Nexus 6 is the exception to that rule. I wonder how that meshes with VZW's assertion that unlocked bootloaders are a security risk? Just sayin...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lafont28:
There is still no guarantee it will be unlockable. I'd bet that it is but Vzw is sneaky enough to pull some thing slick
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PerCompLLC:
LOL! You are probably right...

Except that he isn't keeping up with it.... the bounty amount is over a week dated at this point.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] paperWastage:
just a note: Verizon customer service won't help you if you don't have a Verizon approved device, but the network itself doesn't actually care

you can try putting an activated Verizon SIM card into an LTE device with LTE band 4/13 support, and it'll work on Verizon's LTE. if your device has VoLTE, maybe it'll work on Verizon's VoLTE (no guarantees)

since there are few non-Verizon phones that has CDMA, can't tell if an unlocked CDMA+LTE phone will work on CDMA (Sprint phones don't count, since they are sim-locked and will not work on verizon). One exception would be an unlocked GSM iPhone 6/6+ from T-mobile/ATT -> they have unofficial CDMA hardware and will work on Verizon (CDMA/VoLTE/LTE)

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rajuabju:
90% of the posts over the last week have been totally unrelated to people making a donation/pledge. THey're important discussions, but not exactly on topic for this thread.

So I decided to wait a week or two before updating in 1 batch when I have time to wade through all the unrelated discussions.

I'll probably update it right before Thanksgiving.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] schwartz.matthew.e:
Let's see you do a better job bud considering most posts here aren't part of the bounty. Might want to think before you speak next time considering it's a favor anyone is keeping this thread going. XDA is a large group of people working for free or close there to it.. Remember that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] BriCo84:
I am gonna limit my response to one reply since as rajuabju correctly pointed out, this thread has gotten way off topic (myself included as an offender as example of right now).

Awesome, thanks! I was a little worried since it was being updated frequently up until the 17th and then nothing. Glad to hear it.

And yes, you are right, there is a lot of extra nonsense in here. I am eagerly keeping my eye on this as we just bought about 6 droid turbos for my users and an unlocked bootloader, and the ability to backup the phones with TWRP would be a life saver. Thanks for continuing to work on this.

schwartz, i am not sure what the animosity is for, but I should have known better than post anything in XDA other than either a "question", "answer", or "thank you", as this is what always happens here. People glean some meaning from a post that was never intended. I never said anything mean about anyone, all I did was point out a fact (which should have been phrased more like a question), which was the original poster, after updating frequently, had stopped updating. I did not know why. He responded, and clearly explained his plan, which makes sense. There was absolutely no need for you to follow up with a negative post. To that end I refer you to this video, which might help explain why translation sometimes gets lost in typed messages.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naleynXS7yo

That will be my only response on this topic regardless of any further responses which i hope are none. Thanks again rajuabju!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rajuabju:
You're welcome

And updated as of this post.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
That's great and all that a large bounty sum has been posted. Is there any real good, legitimate info that someone is working on this at all?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
Only in good time. I'm sure developers are generally busy people. I'd be surprised if whoever figures out root is not a busy person, or possibly working on other devices right now. If I recall correctly only a small handful of people have been responsible for bringing root to most of our android devices.

We should also keep in mind that the community seems to be expecting a root exploit with little patience. I think this is the fastest growing pot of root and bl unlock pledges since the history of Android. That's quiet a record and I don't think we should also be expecting "fastest time ever to receive bl unlock or root"

Despite any info strictly proving to us that someone is working on this, we should not be discouraged from the whole purpose of this thread. A bounty is an incentive. Its a direct reflection of the community's demand and interests in a root exploit. Incentive is our strongest factor here. I can guarantee you that almost anything can be done, it just needs the right price tag.

Successfully Rooted Droid Turbo

Hey I rooted our droid turbo. Wasn't easy I had to go kevin mitnick style and social engineer with motorola and verizon this morning. Basically i used a hodge podge of nexus 7 4.4.4 rooting. However that damn locked bootloader was a mess. So after being onthe phone with motorola all morning they gave me the parameters to unlock the bootloaders (ex how many characters, and if its letter numbers, mix, or hex) I wrote a perl code that uses adb to brute force crack the key to unlock the bootloader. Then TWRP or CWM launch zip.

So where can I collect my bounty?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
No cash without proof.

What version of the software did you do it on? Screenshots for verification? Others are going to need to test this "method".
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] durtaydiz:
Sit tight I'll hook ya up with proof =)

You got it chief. Let me clean up the perl script i made for the brute force bootloader unlock thing and ill post the entire method up.

lol u guys proud of ya homie or what?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
please don t.

troll in another place.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
I didn't even notice his post count at "2". Both posts reported.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] durtaydiz:
My method

Ok heres the method. Following nexus 7's 4.4.4 root.

Push the files via adb necessary for TWRP or CWM.

Tricky part is unlocking the bootloader. Ive spent all morning on the phone with motorola, they are handing me the code only because i work for a division of version that does network security. I'm using the information on the parameters of the bootloader key to get a set of parameters for a cloud based brute force crack. If they wont cough up the algorithm im going to make it for you guys with a few more brute forced codes we can reverse engineer it and be all gravy. my phones in ADB right now ill take screen shots and the whole 9 to prove it later. But id like to clean it up for all you guys so u dont have to pay for ****ing cloud based brute force boot loader key cracking.

Be patient fellow android lovers =)

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Please dont tell me to troll in another place and be a jerk man. I'm getting motorola to cough up their algorithm so i can make a nice clean way to unlock the bootloaders for u douche bag.

Thanks and have a nice day!!!! just hopped onto this forum to let you guys know yes it is possibly to root the turbo and after I write detailed and clean instructions up ill post it for all of us.

So be happy and not a jerk please.... and yes once I clean up my method ill ask for the bounty. What good is giving u a bootloader oem unlock key that only works on my specific phone... duerrr

My post count was 2 because I just created this account. Ive been following this threat for like a month now. No need to post up anything if I have no solution. And dont report me wtf? I come bearing gifts. So in order to be heard on this forum I have to write alot of meaningless posts. Whatever Im working with rootjunky.com on this one. so if im not wanted here then later fellas
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] MrZ123:
Put it together and let's see what you have! Best way to get back at people accusing you of trolling (which I am sure you are not) is to show us the goods!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
put here the proof.

then will believe u.

thanks.

I literally lunged towards the screen reading someone rooted. If this worked for me. I'll pitch in an extra 50 if my bootloader gets unlocked.

I'll test the hell out of it!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
From th sound of it, you are trying to figure out the algorithm used to generate the unlock code that would be sent from Motorola if Verizon allowed it. Am I following? You need to then create a way for other users to use this algorithm to create their own unique unlock codes, correct?

Sent from my XT1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
u can t do it

it s not that simple it sounds

u need to work at Moto or to have acces in their database to get bl unlocked
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kenbrownstone:
I got my money in hand if it works
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calarco3:
Agreed
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] durtaydiz:
Heres the thing thought i fastboot oem unlocked it by brute force with the help of pulling a kevin mitnick and having motorola help me with their unhashed version of the key. So that brute force i used generated a key to unlock my phone only. Heres what I've been on and off the phone with motorla all day doing. If i can get the hash they use i can make a perl script or use orphcrack on linux to do this. Im tryingto develop a java or python app that lets u input the data retrieved from

fastboot oem get_unlock_data

Now the motorola guy i've been talking to all day said the hash might be the same as the droid maxxx. With this information I make bootloader unlocking easier by one of two approaches.

Im trying to hack into motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b

and get access to the scripts they run and reverse engineer as many unlock_data codes as I can. Their code that looks like this

9900051103088310#5A583146323239

(bootloader) 51323500585431323534000000#BE97

(bootloader) 2A5AC3C7D4F96E2E1F457CB1693A3BE

(bootloader) C3534#99DA5E0011000000000000000

(bootloader) 0000000

has something that identifies what model it is, etc and spits it back out.

Im trying to reverse engineer multiple droid maxx unlock data codes with the actual oem unlock key. Hopefully we can find somewhat of a pattern and get our unlock_data..... change the identifier so motorola thinks it is a droid max and then moto will email us our unlock key..... make sense???

This way we wont have to be brute focing. Current technology with usb 3.0, GPUs, and my favorite paying a cloud computing service to massively crunch numbers. The turbo is fast and from this experience mine seemed to try a code every 3 seconds. soo.... still waiting to hear back from motorola to see if theirs an easier way.

Cheers buddies!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] matheus_sc:
Hope that Really work, waiting for devs for droid turbo/maxx
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
So we need to modify our phone info and take advantage of Motorola's unlocking service. It all makes sense to me. I'm more than willing to participate and provide my phone, whether I brick it or notm

Alternative method

Ok my brother has a galaxy s5, they are almost identical just not as fast as the trubo. same android 4.4.4 same processor and gpu architecture. Now you can like oneclick root his phone with towelroot it just wont unlock the bootloader. Now towelroot does not work on our phones because it says its unsupported.

Please criticize this next idea.

1) take towel root decompile it

2) in eclipse edit the permissions

3) rebuild apk in eclipse but specify different sdk build version number??? may 4.4.w?

Ideas??? Beuler Beuler...... this approach wouldnt give us an unlocked bootloader.

Personally im really fired up get these brute force oem key working for all of us. We gotta do this soon android 5.0+ is going to be a pain in the ass to root. I suggest everybody removes verizons (rootjunky's got a dope tutorial on it) bloatware and disable the phone form updating itseld (especially the firmware)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
ok

do u think that no one try the things are u explain to us???

it s not that simple it seems

maybe u will have more luck,but i don t think someone from Motorola will tell u what method they use to unlock the BL

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] possible what this guy says?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jcase:
Turbo is not vulnerable to the futex vulnerability, towelroot wont do jack.

Do the math, you wont bruteforce your phones unlock code in your lifetime.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] durtaydiz:
Yea Chew thats exactly what im thinking. like how a credit card number can be reverse engineered and sell you the expiration date (thats hwo websites instantly know u entered it in wrong) In motos maxx unlock key theres a section of that code that says hey im a droid max. I propose we find that section. Swap that series of numbers out. boom let motorola do the work for us via their nifty web unlocking guide. Does that make sense?

Attached is mroe eye candy proof that droid turbo can be rooted.;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jcase:
both his towelroot modification and his unlock code generation theories are unworkable.

Futex is patched, ruling out towelroot working

Generating unlock codes is not going to be a reality, based on time and costs needed.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] durtaydiz:
I wouldnt say a lifetime man. recheck your stats there with cloud cracking and gpus ud be surprised how fast they are and its an approx 20 char length alpha numberic.... either way i dont feel like arguing wtih anybody. Lets work together to figure out a simple solution for all of us.

ITS NOT A GENERATION UNLOCK THEORY AND HOW IS BRUTE FORCE NOT ABLE TO WORK I JUST POSTED PICS OF IT WORKING ON MY PHONE WTF? I do white hatting for a living im very familiar with cracking all sorts of ****. so please keep your brute force opinioins to yourself =)

Yea dude im not trying to generate unlock codes. Im going to reverse engineer the key and code and let motorolas website do the rest. it uses the same hash ast the droid maxx but the identifier for the phone has been changed. we iscolate the identifier section of the get unlock data. we substitute that in with a droid maxx. let motorolas website do the work for us.

I mentioned earlier its like reverse engineering a credit card number. we just need to figure out how they work. Im still awaiting a call back from another tech guy at motorola.

Hello,

As requested I have brought this situation up to my SME. He pretty much confirmed the information that I gave you. The only difference is that he told me that the build for the 2nd Generation Moto X Pure Edition would be closer than the Droid Maxx. However, that does not mean that it will be the same kind of unlock. According to my SME, if you really need to have unlock information for the Droid Turbo, we would suggest that you reach out to corporate Verizon.

I apologize for not being able to be of more assistance. If we had access to the information you were looking for, we would be happy to assist you. However, the device is not supported for unlock at this time and even if it were, that unlock code is provided directly to the customer through a generated email. That information never crosses the desk of an agent such as myself. Thank you so much for your patience and I truly wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Cody

I don't currently have the money to donate, but I will certainly be sending money to the person that gets the reward.

Photos are dark. And doesn't show anything distinguishable to be proof. Maybe better light. Closer up. Video link.

A video link would be the absolute best way to verify this unlocked turbo. I think skeptical users wish to see that this is not a screen shot, and especially wish to see that this is indeed a Turbo.

I thought we could all come together as a team and develop our own rooting process. The only reason I got so far with motorola today over the phone and via email is because I work for verizon's network security department. Ironically those jerks wont let me use the developer edition. But I have apps for network penetration testing that I need to use for my job and like majority of them require super user access..

If anybody can find Moto X Pure Edition oem unlock data and keys that would be superb. WE CAN DO THIS TEAM lol

I think i posted this already but this is our correspondence wtih motorola.
