True, I know IT techs who use all the above or only a couple and know a little about everything it seems though.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DireWolfAlpha:
Please kid 2 weeks ago you were criticizing anyone who bought the turbo now you just waltz on back in here
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
were going to go there again. Maybe if u read what the post said i didn't criticize anyone. I have the turbo since launch day. Have a nice day kid
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
the bounty is still here and i guess other people will donate too if someone release a bootloader unlock method

hope this is true and we will get it soon

if not,we will know in future

DO NOT BUY ANY VERIZON PHONE
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
Thats the way I see it now. Root is just as important to me. I have a nexus 6. Excellent phone. The way I am looking at it is buy phones that have the capability or sit around and wait. I will stay nexus as long as verizon allows me too, then I will head to developer edition phones or phones that have known exploits.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aFancyTickler:
Curious if we should take the OTA or wait on the apparent bootloader unlock... decisions decisons
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] beaups:
I'd wager that won't matter much....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gcarterny:
What's your thoughts on the exploit
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jcase:
Based on the fact that it had no write protection on the device, prior to it being "unlocked", I believe it was a pre-unlocked device, unlocked with SunShine or an unlocked with an unlock code obtained from the DB leak, or otherwise from Motorola.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aFancyTickler:
Awesome, taking the update then
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] beaups:
What exploit?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gcarterny:
Enough said. [emoji1]
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] theycallmerayj:
Wifi significantly improve from the update.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] AndyMan386:
I really hope this pans out!! I have been sick of the daily pop-up saying an update is ready! I am still on the Sept 24th build, just to be on the safe side.. LOL

Does anyone know how to stop that alert? Every time I get it, I just set it for a minute before current time, and I am free for 24 hours...

He posted in a comment:

"Not the place to ask these things. I am a busy person. I just wanted to show what is possible and the video contains some stuff people that know what the are doing can maybe see what I'm doing to get the leak ;) [HINT]﻿"

Did you watch the whole thing, and did anything pop up as different than usual to you, that might lead you to think he is really on to something, or are you too skeptical with what has been shown so far?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jcase:
Its fake, device was blatantly obviously unlocked. Notice lack of WP before unlock
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DireWolfAlpha:
Seriously people if you really think macs are the best for programming your obviously trying to attract people to your twitter and YouTube for the analytic. I know a lot of recent posters were all the same person, did anyone even look at his other videos? don't give these guys the traffic, they are the scum of this board
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jcase:
This little mac in my lap has produced about half of all publicly available Android exploits, I would love to see your work in this field.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DireWolfAlpha:
Citation needed. Plus what's stopping you from exploiting this if your that good?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jcase:
Feel free to do some googling. Every modern motorola/LG/HTC root has my name on it.

Nothing is stopping me in exploiting it, its my job. I have one in our lab.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] Seriously bro... U needn't prove yourself to anyone! Us regulars know what you are and what u have accomplished... I had a Droid Ultra long back and when you released its first root, somehow it didn't work for me and when I told you about it u made sure u made a personal copy just for me so that I could root! Being a big shot Security Analyst and being so modest n humble impressed me!!

Its funny how people think they can get you to release a root exploit by blackmailing u into it... :D :D You make the real video of rooting a Turbo n put it up n say u can't release it, see the internet go down on its knees! :D :D

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

And guys the video is slightly fishy!!! If it does exploit something then why does it try two different codes to Unlock the Bootloader? I mean it should have just been one code that unlocked it right away, the guy tried too hard to prove he was legit though... Or I simply guess that he found the algorithm or something of generating the Unlock codes itself which means ANYTHING Motorola can be Unlocked... I am an illiterate in this matter, let time and the Experts decide... :angel:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lafont28:
Has anyone watched the video closely yet? It is not a Turbo. He is working with last years Maxx (obake). So [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] is more than likely right that it was previously unlocked before doing the video. Here is a pic I took of my laptop screen at around 2:58 into the video when he says "let's get the build version".
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
Apparently he claimed that it would work on the Turbo as well...

Now that you put the screen shot, looking closely the software version is 19.5.3! That's an old firmware, I think 4.4.2 or something which is vulnerable to Sunshine as well!! And cuz its a 2013 produced model it was possible to get a Unlock code from Chinese guy also... So it isn't a big deal even if he managed to use the same exploit as SunShine cuz, it is fixed by Motorola!! I think that version is vulnerable to towelroot as well hence he claims in the starting of the video that his phone us rooted... And jcase was responsible for rooting that software version even b4 towelroot was out AFAIK! :D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lafont28:
If I remember right that was 4.4, which you could easily root with Rockmymoto(thanks to jcase). This most likely explains why he isn't releasing it if it is using an old exploit
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nrage23:
Please get an Iphone and leave this forum alone. Jcase is that good and you would know that if you were not hiding under a rock somewhere. He definitely made the previous phones from HTC, LG, and Moto more tolerable.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] localceleb:
Wow, the lack of a working exploit is really brings out the immaturity in people. 24 hours of excitement and then right back to bickering like children. Sigh...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Yabbakinz:
I am glad somebody noticed. I follow this thread and every time I get a notification I have to wonder if its constructive criticism, progress, or people complaining about who is more worth to speak on behalf of a phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
If anyone is interested...here is an brief summary of the last four pages.

Hey, look. Boot loader might be unlocked

..sweet

...awesome

...right on

..might be fake

...its fake.

...your stupid

..no your stupid..

The end
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I have 2k+ followers on twitter. I visit it maybe once a month because I am so busy. I am soliciting zero followers by saying macs make the best development machines. What is your development background to backup your claim that we are wrong? Here is mine:

ASP.NET with C#, VB and Web Api and MVC (my profession and primary focus)

A passing knowledge of C++ (very little)

A passing knowledge of C (very little)

Java

Android's implementation of Java

HTML5

CSS3

Javascript

Objective C (I know a little)

Powershell

Your turn. What are your credentials?

Now why macs are better for development:

They can literally target every programming language out there because they can run OS X and Windows. Yes, you can hackintosh, but I don't have tiem for that crap.

Can you develop in Swift on Windows or GNU/Linux? How about Objective-C with Apple's UI toolkit? Nope.

You can build Android apps in Windows, GNU/Linux, and OS X. However, can you compile Android OS in all three? Nope to Windows.

You can develop and build iOS and OS X apps in OS X. Can you in Gnu/Linux or Windows? Nope. Even with Cordova, you still need OS X to compile the app.for iOS.

Sure you can run an OS X VM, but it will run like crap and time is money. The more time I spend waiting on something, the more money it costs the client.

How about .NET technologies? Can OS X or iOS build and compile them? Soon, but not quite yet. Mono only supports limited and older .NET stuff. But! I can run Windows at full speed on a Mac, so I guess a Mac can!

Lets tally up our results.

Swift language: OS X only.

Obj-C: OS X only

AOSP: OS X and GNU/Linux only.

ASP.NET: Windows only for the most part, which a Mac can run natively. Mono is quite limited.

C#: Windows only for the most part, which a Mac can run natively. Mono is quite limited;

VB: Windows only for the most part, which a Mac can run natively. Mono is quite limited.

F#: See above answers.

Powershell: Macs can run Windows, yo.

Maybe you are hung up on the pretty factor of OS X. There is powerful access to the BSD underpinnings of OS X via CLI, which completely transforms the usefulness of the OS. I spend more time in the CLI than most other places in OS X. I also build powershell scripts at work, which if I am booted into Windows, I can do on OS X.

Go ahead and tally up the results. It looks like to me that I can do whatever I want with a Mac when it comes to development due to its flexibility. With Windows, I have to hackintosh it, which is not something I have time to do and maintain as a developer. Time is money.

Back to you, bro. Lets hear your reasons on why Macs are not good. I am going to guess it will boil down to games. Games are for people who have time for them, in which case I'll use my PS4. My computers are workstations and not toys.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
No, he said he hadn't tried a Turbo.

I don't know if its real or not, but if jcase says no, it is not. My last comment on the legitimacy of this was that rhcp was the most credible of claims so far. I didn't claim it as real.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Google is your friend. You just dig yourself into a deeper hole between this and your mac comment.

He has no need to prove anything. What are your credentials? Fry cook? I have to ask because it clearly isn't IT.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ekkoria:
I thought this was a forum for discussing android phones, not Mac vs Windows. If I were you I'd leave jcase alone he's probably the only hope we have for an unlock. So he's the last person you want to piss off, and he's done enough for this community he doesn't need any judgement on what operating system he uses.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] prking07:
I dont even have a Turbo, i have a Maxx and this is by far the best comment in this thread, got me exited that jcase has one in his lab!:D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Diego1751:
Stopping in

So I check in every once in a while because it would be nice to see if my phone has root. but all I see is a bunch of hostility Im not going to act like I know whats going on, but please everyone lets try to keep this about root and the droid turbo. if not then lets all at least be civil and respectful.

I have no idea who Jcase is but I if your still reading this and a turbo ever falls into your lab there are plenty of people who are just trying to get a friendly rooted phone :good:

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Why? aren't all of the droids Verizon exclusives? what about the dorid maxx? I'm pretty sure that one was rooted and was a Verizon exclusive
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dmbtech:
DOS as a development platform is better than them all. Gotta love Real Mode :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ceelos218:
just wanted to take a moment to appriciate all of what jcase has done for us... wether he releases anything or not. thanks man! wouldnt mind paying for another sunshine type apk if an exploit is found. crosses fingers.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jhall8:
Wow, if I'd known that people would be questioning jcase's credentials, I would have made a nice big batch of popcorn!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Those were the same exact phones as the Moto X with different batteries and chassis. So it was relevant for many devices.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
Droid Maxx even had a Developers edition... And as you said they were just the Moto X on different chassis! :D I had a Droid Maxx n remember flashing the whole Moto X firmware on it with No problems!! :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
The Motorola Droid RAZR, RAZR M and so on were Verizon exclusives and had root. The RAZR M even had unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
Thats odd before I posted the link from rootjunkys page I asked the guy if it works on the droid turbo and he told me it did. Asked him in the comments, and now i went back and all those comments are deleted, and now u stated he said he havent tried it. He told me and another guy straight out he tested it on the turbo and it worked.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Cman1468:
Since I haven't refreshed that YouTube page since yesterday, I have proof that he said he did... http://imgur.com/XJqJhHK
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Conflicting reports should be a warning sign that maybe rhcp was trolling everyone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Shtiff1:
[MENTION=275321]cman[/MENTION], you beat me to it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
its still there
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
i cant see that so let me check again.

Edit: Its not there for me. My friends post, and mine were both removed.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Disgusting that this guy would tell people one thing, and then from the pictures that saved my butt lol thanks guys shows he stated it was tested.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
yeah i dont understand why someone would release saying hey look what i can do, but i am keeping for myself. that in itself tells me they are lying. either a) you will release something and charge people for it to make money. or b) you just spent all that time to stick it to verizon and motorola and make a name for yourself so you release it for free. but either way to say oooo look what i got and you cant have it is something 5 year olds do. plus i am new to this whole scene and do not pay attention alot because rooting is a skill i do not have nor do i want to invest in. but even i, who know nothing except the little i have been here can understand enough that if it is going to be solved there is like 2 people, jcase and some guy who wrote a paper last year about a motorola exploit. rosenberg i think is his name. but some clown who posts a youtube video...... um need more than a video.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
Wasnt it Dan rosenberg? That name does sound familiar for some reason

Edit: Yes here is a blog

http://vulnfactory.org/blog/
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mdav07:
Gonna have to say its a fake. Someone wants to be recognized an have more followers on YouTube. If anyone is going to find an exploit for the droid turbo it would either be Jcase, beups, or the cubed. Those are the only guys that I have faith in. They helped me on my droid maxx, moto x, lg g2 and lg g3. So if its not coming from them then I won't have any faith in it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
Not to say this will happen anytime soon, but eventually people do leave this community, and new comers come. Saying those are the only ones u have faith in is kinda one sided. New people will come eventually and be able to do the same work.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mdav07:
Agreed
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Cman1468:
Is it possible to exploit the new update in a way that is has root functions?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
Nope.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
have to have an unlocked bootloader to "flash", and root for root. So if u alter the new update I believe that wont flash and maybe brick the device.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
it bricking the device is too dramatic to say... Its just not gonna flash! :D Cuz its gonna calculate the checksum and signature and once they don't match OTA doesn't install n gets ABORTED n this is always done firsthand so nothing gets flashed or updated...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
True thanks for correcting me
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Fulbring:
Hmm, seems like this would take a while. I sold my Turbo already seeing as the update process was very slow from Moto and Verizon.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jpierce1987:
Will it ever get root?

I've been keeping my eye on the XDA for the Turbo.... My upgrade is coming up, as is MWC.... Wondering if the turbo will ever get root, or if I should look for another device.... I figured all the devs using Verizon would have wanted this phone, but apparently not? Wondering now how many units were sold? Anyways, I guess my question is.... Is anyone close? Will it ever get root, or are we just to move on to another device? And, before a bunch of useless comments arise, I know how hard the work is, and I know people are trying, ect... I don't need to hear "root it yourself" or whatever... I am sincerely asking the XDA community if I should invest my hard earned benjamins in this device, or if I should move on. Thank you all for your hard work, and your (hopefully) respectful replies. I gotta get to work.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] graymonkey44:
Honestly, I would wait. The next round of top tier devices will be approaching very soon. The only thing that the droid turbo has is the massive battery at this point. The HTC one m9 has been pretty much all but officially confirmed.

If root is make or break with you, then I would suggest not buying this device. Don't get me wrong, I love the feel of this device; it was definitely a formidable upgrade from the s4.

I will probably be getting the HTC one M9 for my next upgrade. It will eventually get root through the HTC website. It will have the snapdragon 810 SOC. It will have an SD card slot, one thing I miss the most. The 5" screen is my ideal size since my hands aren't very big. It's pretty much perfect for what I want. And I've always loved the build quality of HTC phones. The last one I had was the Rezound, which was awesome. And I had the OG HTC incredible, one of my favorite phones of all time. Thing was a beast at the time.

So for that reason, I will most likely get the HTC one M9. I hope no one takes offense to this, but development is dead and may never happen. If you're a root junky, I would advise against this phone. I'm not saying this phone isn't bad, because it's perfectly fine without root, but I do miss testing out different ROMS and native mobile hotspot.

I will miss the awesome battery life though of the turbo, but this is the first motorola I've owned and I must say I am very impressed with the build quality and little tweaks like moto display.

So moral of the story, if your expecting root, don't buy this phone. Either get the nexus 6, if your heart is set on motorola and can deal with the large screen, or wait for the next round of devices.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jcase:
The fact that it was unlocked (see lack of write protection evident by being pre rooted) before he "unlocked" is a warning sign. Fact that he claims to have (Well his friends) broken RSA to do this is another (no one breaking RSA would waste that on a phone). Fact that his "exploit" source is only 128 bytes is another.

The video is fake.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] AndyMan386:
Make me a real video then!!!!!! :D :victory:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tankzar:
Can someone convince me not to sell my Droid Turbo yet? Sick of this waiting game.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] enragedshoe:
Really? That is the dealbreaker for you? A temporary delay in an update? :confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
sell it.

i will buy it

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jpierce1987:
Thanks for the respectful and honest reply! I guess I'll see what comes out after MWC next week... The main reason I'd like root is really just for tasker. I'd be happy with a stock rom (as long as its not samsung) but most phones seem useless without tasker, and a few other choice root apps (root explorer, titanium backup, reboot scheduler ect....) I'd really love to find a high end device with root that I can live with for two years... I thought this was it, but no root... I personally wouldn't buy an HTC because of the camera. Its a cool technology, but, in my opinion, it isn't ready and the quality is lacking. I will not be buying another samsung device. If It comes down to it, I may end up with the Droid Turbo and just have to learn how to live without tasker. It's less than ideal, but I'll live....

Thanks for the advice! Have a great day! :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] anikita:
I just want root for two things one for wifi hotspot and Songs Changing
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] graymonkey44:
Oh yeah, that was one of my concerns as well with the M9, but the leaks show its going away from the ultrapixel camera on the back and putting a 20 megapixel camera on it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gqskrub:
Thank God they don't. The android community would be very sad.

For those who don't know Jcase, he's pretty much the Michael Jordan of rooting phones.

That doesnt mean they don't fix them from tips, btw.

No prob. That's one of the things I was missing about root also. All of my music is on my phone I can't tell you the last time I listen to a CD lol

We're off topic somewhat here. So, I'll just add in another thanks to [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] for all he's done. He's been on the root of many of my devices and I've happily donated to him. So, whether he works on this or not, I appreciate his work!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] MonkeyMouth:
Haha I remember when he rooted an older DROID device. I think the HD. And he messaged me claiming the bounty then. Paid in a instant and he was surprised to see I replied.

Love all the work jcase.
