If you are not currently working on exploits, and realizing that the demand for this phone is low due to it being only one carrier, any chance you would temporarily pass the torch and allow someone else (me) access to some of your tools to try to get this thing rolling?

I haven't done much with phones before, but have done stuff with Palm apps, modifying flash apps, etc.

Of course credit would be given where due, and bounty split.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
Why would he pass it on to someone that hasnt been with xda for more than two post? Not trying to sound rude, but root exploits are difficult to find, and takes alot of time. Better off leaving it to someone who knows what they are doing.

@Jcase. We appreciate all you do for the community. Take your time no rush. Am sure one day it will pop up somehow that you got this phone rooted. If not we are all ****ed for buying this phone. Its a love hate relationship for me with this thing. I hate the lack of development but I love the phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
Personally I don't know why people went out and bought the phone before there was an exploit found if they wanted a phone with root and/or unlock capabilities.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] assasin34:
whats the difference this device from others?still no rooted.is there something we dont know?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
Try using your words better.

Look at this beast root is great but for what ...get adguard for ads.

Thank you LifeAsADroid. You gave me a good and much needed laugh!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calarco3:
That's like saying when you have a Chevy with all the bells and whistles there is no reason to have a Cadillac. It's just better to have root for a variety of reasons that are of different levels of importance to different users, period.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
Root is good, but its not everything. I remember back in the day root was needed to do alot. Like to remove apps, block ads, ect. Phones now there is no need to remove apps google allows us to disable apps. The only thing I think root will do good for us is to block ads thats it. Now if it was unlocked bootloader and allowing us to use custom roms thats different. If we had an unlocked bootloader all you would have to do is flash recovery and then flash supersu. Honestly unlocked bootloader can achieve root so I think having a bounty for both is useless.

If all u want out of a device is root, or custom recovery you should have thought about it when u decided to buy this device. Root is something buts its not everything. This phone is a beast as is. People need to stop whining and complaining that root isnt here yet. This stuff takes time. It doesnt happen over night and the developers have lives. If you want root so bad go find it yourself. Else be quiet and enjoy your phone.

hey just out of curiousity on your pic u posted I see a key on the upper left side in the notification bar. What is that?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ryude:
Root is a great tool for me. It allows a lot of customization that you can't otherwise get. Such as changing dpi, toggling radios on/off through Tasker or other apps, modifying framework/apps for theming, and more. Is it necessary for me to enjoy the phone? No, but it is something I've had on every other phone so why not on this one?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] daweim0:
My thoughts almost exactly. I would still love to have root andor an unlocked bootloader, but the hardware specs make it worth it. I would have gotten a OnePlus One, but they won't be coming to Verizon any time soon, and the Galaxy note 4 is too big.

Come to think of it, why am I still with Verizon?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
[MENTION=5973699]the_rooter[/MENTION] .. that key is Adguard. I'm running it also. Its great
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aviwdoowks:
You need the newest beta for adguard & the key tells you it is enabled.

Only works with VPN (adv settings)(no root).

Edit: Free version, it requires you to re-enable blocking on a reboot.

You need the stock messaging enabled. I use Handsent FWIW & NO MESSAGING ISSUES.

On a Droid Maxx that is.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Rahel513:
Never been able to get adgaurd working properly..... Any advice?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pilot25:
Me neither. Sometimes it blocks but mostly it doesn't and slows down everything. We just need root already
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rajuabju:
are you guys paying for adguard?

the free version blocks browser ads, but most application ads still get through
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] aviwdoowks:
Free version.

True.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rayjr13:
Yes you do.

Obtaining boot loader unlock isn't always as difficult or easier on a given device, soff, or root. People are willing to take what they can get and would pay to have either or both. Obviously a boot loader unlock is more useful to most hence why the bounty amounts reflect this.

If all people wanted out of their device was root they wouldn't likely have ended up on this spec-laden phone.

Baffling how people in their infinite smugness act being too ignorant to understand why people would buy an excellent phone and hope and be willing to support development with more money. It really isn't a mystery. People believe in the talent on xda to always provide what isn't offered or available from stock. Doesn't mean they'll get it. And if you have the phone you'd be mildy retarded not to understand why people would hold onto it and their dreams of root.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LifeAsADroid:
Well I do, but didn't want to bring up the idiocy of people wanting / needing root and buying a phone so locked down prior to root being available. It's the holiday season...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calarco3:
Well said, my sentiments exactly.

sent from my handcuffed xt1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] spinach.chin:
They are still allowing people into the beta program. The beta license is good for 1 year, and it is the full featured version (it blocks ads in apps as well).

Look up the post on their blog that references the beta program.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] beaups:
Running all of your internet traffic through some third party via VPN, just to not see ads (which, by the way, financially support the sites and apps you are using) seems extremely risky/shortsighted.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] spinach.chin:
Yes it does seem risky... luckily for users of Adguard, the VPN server is LOCAL (it runs on your device).

As far as financial support, the same arguments can be made against pop-up blockers and ad-filtering browser extensions. Do you enjoy having pop-up ads served to the pages you're browsing? I don't, and I'm not going to subject myself to it just to assuage my guilt about blocking ads which won't convince me to spend money on the product they're selling anyway...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] beaups:
It vpns back into localhost? Interesting concept. None of my browsers in recent years actually allow popups much, out of the box. Having no flash gets rid of the obnoxious ads sort of automatically, too.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
First thing buddy before u criticize my post. Learn to read. I not once said root and unlocked bootloader isn't worth it. I also didn't say that its stupid to ask for root. All I said is we heard enough of people complaining about no root. Not hard if u want root do it yourself else wait it out and stop complaining. Those are my exact words. So again I repeat learn to read and think before u post. This phone is a beast without root and it can be a beast with root. I read all over this thread how people want root now and I will repeat again just like many others have. If root is so important to you. YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED TO GET THIS PHONE UNTIL AVAILABLE.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] twinkyz1979:
I for one would love to be able to flash what I want when I want through a customer recovery. I also don't want to freeze apps I want them completely removed from the device. I also would like to be able to use my TitaniumBackup on my device.

So root and an unlocked bootloader are for way more than just blocking ads.

Verizon does suck with their policies but they have the best coverage in my area.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]

I would gladly pay double what I paid through SunShine to unlock my Droid Ultra to get each of my Droid Turbo's unlocked.

p.s. Maybe even triple
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jcase:
It is a time issue, not a money one
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] twinkyz1979:
I feel you on that. I was just stating I would gladly pay more for the time put in is all. Loved the SunShine app unlocked my Ultra and my GF's Maxx. Everyone that worked on that app rocks in my book!

Is there anything we, as a community, can do to help take on some of the work from you and your team?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rpitera:
This is a bounty thread for root. What did you expect to find besides pledges and people wanting root? If not hearing that is so important to you, YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL THE BOUNTY WAS CLAIMED SO PEOPLE WOULDN'T BE POSTING ABOUT IT.

[emoji12]
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
Agreed, look at this guy talking **** to probably the one and only person who will give us root. Look at this from jcase's perspective:

A - he doesnt care about the money, its a hobby

B - he will be discouraged by a rude Droid Turbo community because he doesnt personally use a turbo daily

c - exactly what he said, its a time issue, not a money issue - pledges mean virtually nothing except for a reflection of the demand of root - which really cannot and will not effect the timeliness of root delivery even if he wasnt putting any interest into this.

[MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] i dont mean to speak for you, but i do mean to apologize on the behalf of this poster's attitude as a reflection of the Droid Turbo community, which greatly appreciates the fact that you are showing interest in our device.

I have to ruturn my droid turbo next week. So if anyone has anything i can try to root or unlock let me know i am willing to test within the next few days.

I don't post on here much. I AM a noob and learning. BUT I also have ANOTHER BN 32G Turbo coming tomorrow. (Yes, I have TWO Turbo, because Twin-Turbos are just AWESOME) I am not sure what firmware it will be coming with. Hoping its the original release software as I have already taken the VoLTE update on my BN 64Gb :( It will be a test rig to achieve root and bootloader unlock.

Check this out

Motorola DROID Turbo XT1254 is a water resistant Android smartphone for Verizon wireless with super high-end specifications. It’s equipped with a 5.2 inches display which has a resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. The pixel density is 565 ppi, an extremely high pixel density that makes it very hard for eyes to see each pixels. Super AMOLED technology produces amazing colors. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protect it against scratch. The device uses Snapdragon 805 Soc with four Krait 420 cores running at 2.7 GHz and Adreno 420 GPU. 3 GB of RAM provides very smooth multitasking. This Motorola handset is available in 32 GB or 64 GB versions, but without microSD slot.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calsurferpunk:
Yup, you are right. I edited later.

Sorry if off topic, but out of desperation/last resort I have been writing a program to generate possible bootloader unlock keys via brute force. I know it's not very that likely it could work, but if anyone has any suggestions on how to narrow down the possible sets, it would be greatly appreciated. Right now I've just been doing basic likely codes, i.e. 20 chars, A-Z and/or 0-9, first/last letter only, no more than 3 of same char in a row, up to to 6 numeric, no more than 6 or so of any 1 char... I'd probably have to find out a way to make an integrated fastboot (using the open source code) to speed up the number of tries per second if possible also.

I tried figuring out the algorithm in the aboot file (without luck) . What would be helpful is finding out how the fastboot oem get_unlock_data is used in association. It appears that the 3rd line hash is used, but not a simple SHA-1. I realize a vulnerability to get root would be much more realistic, but I'd like to have a plan b :P.
