The device was not designed for what you want, whether artificially or not. There is no law dictating that a manufacturer must give you the keys to the kingdom with their devices. The OS is partially open, the device is 100% not. There is IP and closed source code to be protected in binaries, which unlocking the bootloader gives you access to in a limited degree. The FCC cannot dictate that any OEM or the company providing their hardware must unlock it for you to modify.

This is common sense. I know you want to seek out an injustice here that you can fight with legally, but you will not find it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
Agreed. Comes with many devices. Example: cars and sportbikes sold with gov't regulated speed limiters.

LOL! As if the custom/dev community makes up a significant part of phone sales! Most people out there in the world just go about their lives using the phones bone stock, as sold from manufacturer. Even within the dev community people will buy the phone just in HOPES of an exploit being found and be stuck with the device if one is not. Your threat is not a new idea. I'm sure VZW and Moto reps did not sleep well last night with your single non-purchase threat for the future.

well i got a Moto Maxx

bl unlocked,same phone,root,no Verizon.

but i am here to suport the bounty and the devs,because no one can tell u what to do with ur device after u pay it.

i agreed if i will lose my warranty.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Droidavie:
I'm pretty sure I left a bounty and it hasn't been posted yet
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calsurferpunk:
I don't know how much it matters to anyone, but I am still trying to find ways to root/unlock the bootloader. Although I've been programming for years, I haven't had experience looking for exploits before, but I am trying currently. I'm not ready to give up on this phone yet :p.

I tried to flash a modified boot.img where I set it to give adb root access, but it gives me a "hab error" since I'm guessing I would need to update the location of the verification signature (which I'm guessing I have a very slim chance of every figuring out since I am not even positive where it resides). If I figure anything out I'll be sure to keep everyone posted. If anyone discovers any exploit possibility and wants to share I am willing to help if desired also.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Droidavie:
Rock on
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Its just good to hear someone is actually working on it. Thanks! [emoji106]
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] daweim0:
Wouldn't the verification signature be for the android image and signed with Motorola's private key stored in an underground vault somewhere? Please don't let me discourage you, but won't changing the image force you to forge a new signature?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calsurferpunk:
Exactly. That's why it wasn't the best route to go, but I had to at least try ;). I'm decompiling all of the system/priv-app apps and searching for a vulnerability in there instead. It wouldn't unlock the bootloader, but it is the best chance to get root (which can lead to it later).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] androidhacker007:
Cool, but doesn't the device need the certificate/signature somewhere on the device, in order to accept or deny incoming signatures/images?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calsurferpunk:
That would be if I were trying to modify one of them. I'm looking for ways to "trick" them (exploit) to make them copy su and edit the initialization script. The ways I know of are via a fake/altered broadcast and/or calling them from within another application (if they aren't properly protected). There are other methods such as insertion attacks as well.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] androidhacker007:
Thanks, I am watching a video on how to build a android app I'll leave it to the professionals. Sorry I thought of a stupid question.

He even uses a blue Turbo as his example phone. Not sure if it will work on other color variations of the Turbo or not... ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Draven10785:
It worked on my 64gb Turbo. Not sure if it was needed though as after I did it I looked at the apps and all the preloaded software has a disable option in your app manager. Checked my wife's without using the exploit and had the ability to disable them all without using it on hers. Not to say the dev on that isn't appreciated though. All the devs I have used their info from are great. (Been rooting since my EVO 4G on Sprint). Just wish I could contribute more than what I have to them for all the good work.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] r3pwn:
It's not an exploit, just an easier way to disable the apps than performing the operation manually.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lazarus2297:
I did the same and I like the nexus 6 better than my DT, but I really liked the idea having a nexus and since the nexus 4&5 didn't work on Verizon I tool my opportunity to jump on a nexus that worked on big red.. It is big.. Make no bones about that.. but I just deal with it.. I have a LG G2 and G3 (one of them soon to be sold) so if I want to use a more manageable phone I can switch to one of those.. ( I am using the G3 now)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
G2, G3, Turbo, Nexus 6... Wish I had your disposable cash.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
u bought Nexus 6 and u are using G3

why u bought it then?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lazarus2297:
I have had the G2 since launch.. I upgraded to the 64gb DT ($60 on black friday) decided to sell it.. Found a good deal on a N6 with the cash from the DT sale.. Found a good deal on a G3 and bought it with the intention of selling my G2 just haven't gotten around to it yet..

So I don't have all four and the G2 (or maybe the G3) is on the way out..

Hello everyone! Prompt me please, is this project supported yet and there is sense to do donating?

Sorry to my bad English.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
Nope.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ilia3367:
Does it mean that we root and unlock we never see?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PerCompLLC:
Always possible, but unlikely.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:

He apologized for his English in an earlier post. I was guessing at what he meant. :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
How you related root to that....wowsa.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] prking07:
I have both Nexus 6 and Moto Maxx(droid turbo latin america), and i like the Moto Maxx wayy better. Only thing i like bout the Nexus 6 better is lollipop thats it. N6 is just too big and that hugeness is no benefit at all, its just a oversized smartphone, unlike note 4(wich has its size put to good use). Also battery on my Nexus 6 is nowhere near the battery life on my Maxx, my Maxx takes better pictures than my Nexus 6, and my maxx has more internal memory than my Nexus 6. All in all i like my Maxx better than my Nexus 6 , and when lollipop arrives for the maxx it will be one point less for the Nexus.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
With Google Translate (and I'm sure many other apps / computer programs out there) that translate everything for people, it's surprising how bad the English is here on XDA still...

I mean, I get it, people don't want to have to translate everything they type out because it adds steps to the process of posting, but it's an English-based web forum. I don't go to France and say "hey, you all adjust for me so I can understand things."
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] yvmexcl:
Many question the root

Just answer ...

Not having root is like making love with condoms ..

safe but Boring!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rpitera:
I see your point. On the other hand the whole idea behind crowd sourcing knowledge is to help each other and learn from different points of view. I'm trying to help a poster from Spain who is struggling with the language (which, let's be honest, has some confusing rules) by answering what I could in English and asking the poster to post the other questions on Spanish. I'll have a Spanish speaking colleague help me.

Is a little work, but I'm always willing to bank good will. Especially here where I've gotten so much help.

Really? Because it made me think of sex with condoms. And there's no fun in that.

Good thing the OP peaced out. The other "root / unlock" turbo thread was closed due to too much "trollffest"ing going on, so it may pick up here a bit which would definitely set him off.

I'm from chile and usually selling smartphone limited .. come here and buy me the Droid Turbo USA before reading XDA

What works? All I see is "copy the numbers in fastboot, then paste them into chrome." What website in chrome? Which numbers in fastboot? It may work, it may not. I don't see a step-by-step procedure here.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
That works if your bootloader is allowed to be unlocked. Ours is not.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
It's the Motorola website he's talking about... He's giving instructions as to how to trick Motorola info giving you the unlock code... If this works people should exploit it b4 Motorola finds out n patches it!

I just tried this like five times on Motorola website and only get the 404 error. Was promising tho as it did give me your going to void your warranty warning.

I was getting this every time I tried too. The link that it should be is:

In case that helps you continue (I noticed the page was unlock-your-device-a, then b, ....). I went through it, but I'd be really surprised to see any email :p
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calarco3:
right it for just that fleeting moment felt like it was going to actually work, I have since tried restarting my computer as well as history/cache erase. Also gave it a whirl from firefox.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ekkoria:
Just had a thought. androidreviewguy, can you post your web history for those unlock pages?? maybe if (and it's a long shot) if we can type in the correct address manually the site will push us through to the unlock process.

just noticed the link you posted calarco. I also tried this, but I doubt we'll get an email.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calsurferpunk:
I actually went through page a, then b, and while on b edited the submit link via chrome's developer tools, searching for standalone/ in the link, replacing the entire link with that one I posted instead. That way all of the data should be submitted properly, even if I doubt an email will show up.

So did anyone who modified that moto page get emails with their unlock code?... Unlikely I assume just wondering
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ekkoria:
I didn't. Didn't really think it was going to work anyways but it was worth a shot

I didn't either. I tried everything I could to make sure my data was submitted properly also. It's been around 24 hours since I tried.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dmbtech:
There are server side validation on motorola's end, if you try to force your phone sn etc, they actually return an error even after verifyphone step. Motorola would be horrible coders if they did not do server side checks on forms that are submitted...

Root?

Okay I am an amateur at all of this and this is my first DROID. (Apple) So i successfully back doored my droid turbo using a Kali payload and obtained root access remotely from my laptop. Is there any software that i can load to "Root" or unlock the bootloader? I'm positive other people have does this so forgive me if this sounds ignorant.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] matheus_sc:
Try super su or datroot both works here.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ganggreen30:
So does this mean u are Sharing
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
If you had to truly done this, and gained root access, you would have had to use an su binary to have obtained it. In short, if this was real you wouldn't have had to ask that.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lafont28:
How about we start with root then unlock with a custom recovery before we get into ROMs?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
I think he is referring to the maxxx.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lafont28:
You're probably right but he did say Turbo. There really should be a separate forum for the Maxx
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pacman420:
The only part I doubt about this is the root access part. The Kali / Metasploit attack vector totally does work, it allows you backdoor access into Android, the problem is that the access is non-privileged, i.e. its really no different than just opening up a Terminal app locally on the device.

I went through the standard process, created a backdoor APK with metasploit, installed the APK, etc, but the backdoor gives you user-level access. If you did something different to get privileged access with Kali/Meta, please let us know, but so far I don't think this is a viable attack vector.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dmbtech:
Not sure how this exploit works, however if you are able to gain root from an app with root setuid bit set from a setuid app such ping or traceroute(before they drop root, when creating the socket for example), you should be able to gain root. Again, I do not know how this exploit works, or if it lets you pick out the process it exploits.
