[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zn706:
Before I toss in some $$, does anyone know if anyone is actively working on this? If not it's going back to Verizon for a S5 in a few days.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] scallawag:
Yes I have considered the upcoming update and am not sure if this would relock an unlocked bootloader or not. I know on my Maxx DE a update locked the bootloader and I had to go through the process of unlocking it again. If we get root we can always stay with 4.4.4 and have some of the update through tweaks.

What do you think?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] SFG:
Just ditched my s5. There's zero development other than safestrap and that's fading away.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjd2011:
Depends on what you believe is positive news or not but the Moto G on Lollipop has already been rooted. Obviously they had an unlocked bootloader but if we can find a way and if the upgrade to lollipop doesn't break it, we'll be golden.

Am I being too optimistic? :o
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jnclocker:
Actually you are not. The phone just came out so there's no rush and a lot of people are in such a rush to get root. It will happen eventually but not tomorrow. Moto G just got root so am sure some Dev will come to rescue us some day and development will start. If not then we are screwed I guess.

Keep your hopes up.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zn706:
Thanks for the heads up on the S5.......I just want Root for Wifi Tether, Permissions Denied and Ad Bock and I'll be one happy m-f'er.

I just want to remind everyone here that, no matter how much money you through into the pot, this may or may not come to pass.

If it happens, great! But if you're the kind of user who wants updates the moment they happen, this is an ill-adviced route and device for you. Just make sure you're ready for it.

They are delaying the Nexus 6 to lock in everyone with Droid Turbo.

Locked bootloader. Crippled GSM bands. You guys are suckers for anticompetitive behavior.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kenshin087:
Anyone know if there is a Dev working on this? Would like to donate to them now if so. Even if it doesn't get unlocked/root they deserve it. Bounty system is a joke
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calarco3:
I agree with this
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] insidious15:
ehh..You mean Nexus 6 is Droid Turbo MAXX??? B/C the Nexus 6 comes with same specs, but with a better camera, Larger Screen, Support straight from Google w/ Lollipop and future updates, better design, not to mention a totally easily unlockable bootloader and ROOT?

Nexus 6 is nowhere near a "mini". It's by far the best smartphone on market atm. Turbo is next, though. Verizon just being a ***** and not releasing it, so im going with turbo and hoping to hell this root bootloader bounty comes through
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pijes:
Nexus 6 would need a 5000mAh battery to be called Droid Turbo MAXX

Nexus 6 has a Bad Camera, only 13 mpx and a FHD display.

Nexu 6 is a Droid Mini . eheheh

Not going allow a full root exploit (uid 0) but a step in the right direction - http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2014/Nov/51
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
I understood some of those words.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
I didn't.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lowg:
Sorry, probably the wrong thread to post, but don't know where else to.

That is not a root exploit, but it allows an app to run as the same user as the android system service. This potentially could be a jumping off point if there another exploit (or previous one) that can use the android system user account to get root privileges.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
Thanks for the explanation. It's above my understanding, but like you said it may be a starting point for more permanent root, etc.

Another thought: if lollipop is already rooted on current versions, devs may be waiting until lollipop drops on the turbo before doing anything. Why root software that is going to be upgraded in a few months or so and root will be lost, forcing another exploit to be found...?

If course this doesn't solve the locked bootloader problem, so no custom ROMs in sight (and may also keep the dev community away).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PerCompLLC:
You make a very good point IMO...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
The root solutions for Lollipop rely on an unlocked bootloader, to my understanding. You either flash root with custom recovery, or Chainfire Auto Root (CFAR), and both require the bootloader to be unlocked. The SELinux changes in 5.0 make it much harder to gain root without an unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjd2011:
Ditto. They wouldn't be waiting because once Lollipop hits security gets beefed up even more. The only devices running Lollipop have unlocked bootloaders. Moto G, Moto X are all developer edition devices.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinitwarrior:
I paid the @25 for Sunshine on the Droid Maxx, so put me down for $40 for full root with write protection off (with or without bootloader unlock) and $25 for basic root (things like Titanium back up, and greenify)

Is it worth it to attempt using this beta of SuperSU on the current 4.4.4 ROM to see if root is obtainable?

EDIT: forgive my ignorance in this matter.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wolfgart:
At this point we can tweet to Moto and Vetizon to know exactly when will be released Lollipop
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kenshin087:
And the answer would be after this root exploit is patched
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
Yea, I had a thread stating my opinion of l being released by December 1st. Does google respond to things like this? Will they see that a single person rooted lollipop and make changes immediately?

Sent from my XT1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
how can i do it?

i will try it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
Steps I would take to attempt (someone correct me if I am wrong):

- go here SuperSU 2.27 BETA and download the .zip file for SuperSU 2.27 BETA

- open the .zip file on your computer, then go into the folder marked "common" and take out the "superuser.apk" file.

- put the superuser.apk file on your Google Drive or other cloud service

- go into your cloud service on your phone and download / install the .apk file

- run SuperSU now installed (hopefully), see what happens. Maybe reboot the phone to have changes take effect, install a root checker from the play store to see if the phone is rooted...

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
not working

app installs but says that need binary files

with Root checker i don t have root acces
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
Oh well, worth a shot.

Maybe something else was needed from the .zip file, I'm just not sure how to install a .zip without a custom recovery.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
me neither
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rayjr13:
you have to read the updater-script to see what it tells the recovery to do with the zip contents. Usually it shows expanding a folder or folders...maybe setting permissions and ownership of the folder. , possibly erasing existing files etc. Same thing you would need to do manually but it is already typed in the script so you don't have to and it gets down automatically and as whomever wrote it intended.

That goes from JB.KK experience. Don't know anything about L5 recovery to know of nuances or changes.

example script from 4.3

ui_print("NFC fix for 4.3");
show_progress(1.0, 10);
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p13", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/Nfc.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel-2.0-R141-v14-MODDED.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/app/SmartcardService.apk");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/lib/libnfc.so");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/lib/libnfc_jni.so");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/lib/hw/nfc.smdk4x12.so");
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/etc/nfcee_access.xml");

delete("/system/app/Nfc.odex");
delete("/system/app/SmartcardService.odex");

unmount("/system");

Popped open the Super SU beta 2.27 and its allllll in the updater-binary and not the updater-script. Take a look in a txt viewer.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjd2011:
Just tried using Flash Gordon to flash the zip. It doesn't recognize the zip as being flashable.

Apk didn't work either.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calarco3:
I also attempted with flash Gordon, no go. I then downloaded and installed su 2.27 but no binaries...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rayjr13:
Apk is not the only operation in the updater script. It is also not a data app so it can't be installed regular user. depending on the API level it has a certain name and goes in a certain location with certain permissions and security settings etc etc etc.

Just look at the updater-binary file to see what needs to be done.

Pretty sure SuperSU Beta 2.27 would have to be flashed from a custom recovery which you can't get without having unlocked bootloader... In other words there's still no solution to root on Lollipop unless a root exploit is found. Let me know if anyone else knows otherwise. :(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
"While not a huge problem on Nexus devices with unlockable bootloaders, the need for ramdisk modifications was concerning for many users of bootloader-locked devices for which no unlock is available (yes, they do unfortunately exist).

Does anyone else find it strange that the LP exploit came from the same guy who said that exploits without an unlocked boot loader would not happen with LP?...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] seave:
Same here. No updating, just in case...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] r3pwn:
For clarification, there is no root exploit for Lollipop yet. That post was made for exploit developers and security researchers. If you HAVE AN EXPLOIT then you would proceed to manually install the files from that zip. Without an exploit, they are 100% useless. If you want root, I would recommend staying on KitKat.

He didn't make an exploit, he just found a way to keep root (if you did have an exploit) without a custom kernel. That's all.

Again, there are no Lollipop exploits yet. You all just misinterpreted his post.
