Am i the only one checking every like 15 minutes to see if he released it yet?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
I don't even own this phone and an excited. I am on a g2 currently but was a moto person from the og droid until the maxx hd so a new moto root seems wonderful.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] drizzzzzz:
you're not alone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wifnhzivxllo:
It is a little shameful how often I am hitting refresh.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
glad ot see i am not alone. i am so excited. i feel like i am in a soak test waiting for the guy to say ok people its go time, all the while hitting check for system updates
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] billydroid:
Is it possible this method could be extended to other moto devices ? Such as the Verizon moto x running 4.4.4?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] loudaccord:
Rooting my Turbo would totally hold me over until the GS6 comes :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
All my phones have been Motorola Droids since I switched over from blackberry many years ago. Every phone I have had people have said "That phone will never get rooted" But every Droid I have had was. I'm no developer by any means but I have worked on lots of other phones for many people. The reason I stay with Moto is they are so solid in the way they are physically built AND the way they run. So many other phones I have worked on Just have been so glitchy its sad.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
I agree. Motorola is solid in hardware and build. but they are not a software company. but i believe devs love their phones because of what they can do. Motorola is probably, IMO, the best phone to get rooted. Motorola always puts so much into the hardware but does nothign with it. for instance the droid has a radio receiver to pull over the air signals so you dont have to use data to listen to local stations. of course we all know why phone companies do not want that engaged
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Exactly!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
work productivity since yesterday has just plummeted to 5%. if my boss knew he would come here and add to the bounty
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
To bad for the people that jumped ship. Because when this thing gets rooted it's going to go freom the beast it already is to a total monster imo :D

You can unlock your bootloader and root right now, can't you? What are you waiting for? You have the CDMA/LTE Quark identical to the Droid Turbo, with with bootloader that can be unlocked. Once you unlock the bootloader, then root it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
Flash twrp and then supersu within twrp and ur good

bOUNTY BOUNTY is really going to make some money when this drops. a whole lot of incontinence expected...can't say I'm any different.

Will definitely put something extra in the plate on Sun myself

No Advanced calling, or VoLTE voice/data. That is large gap in performance possibility when root is level playing field. Especially with the limited development.

Now If I can just find how much I pledged in this thread....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nutpn:
I hope his method helps to open doors to him getting root for the note 4 or someone who has been working on root for the note 4, another big bounty to claim and myself I will be very greatful for both since my wife and son own the turbo and me the note4.

Thank you again for the hard work on the turbo, it's very much appreciated..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I'm not sure of your point.

He's not using Verizon, he's using a U.S. regional CDMA/LTE carrier. He does not have the XT1254 Droid Turbo. He has a U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250, which is otherwise identical to the Droid Turbo (even same FCC ID), but the bootloader is not locked down. He has root available NOW. He has custom recovery available NOW.

There's nothing he needs to wait for. It's been available to his phone for MONTHS. He said he hoped this new root procedure worked or he was going to cry. He doesn't NEED this new root procedure.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] windraver:
Looking forward to the root release!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bowers41:
I looked in motorola website and couldn't find anything and I ain't got a clue how to do it myself.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mjc2251:
Pretty excited for this right now. Coming from devices which were all BL Unlocked (Thunderbolt, Xoom, TouchPad, DNA, Nexus 7, 9) i've grown used to flashing roms. I'm hoping this will yield a method for unlock. I don't need BL unlock or root for anything, I just want it because i'm addicted to flashing and tinkering. Here's to hoping ill be able to use the Turbo to get my fix.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Tomsgt:
here check this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw675ipX-ds
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rayjr13:
Software is not otherwise identical. XT1250 owners had mentioned the lack of software updates to have VoLTE and therefor lacked simultaneous voice/data. No one has made any mention of any carrier update OTAs or any posted files on Moto for the 1250. Hope that changes or devs come to the rescue to enable. Otherwise they are still stuck waiting on a flip of the switch network/plan side correct?

So without a way to flash a verizon rom and radio don't see them as practically identical.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Show me where he has volte now?

If he has volte now, he'll have it after rooting. He is not using Verizon software. Nor is he using Verizon.

Rooting under the current method will not change anything rooting under the new method changes. Root is root. Is it not?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
This should work on a Verizon Moto X 2014 running Kit Kat, yes? Please say yes!

I mean they should be identical except for the Camera apps and the Moto X apps, right? That shouldn't affect root right? Please say right!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Cobra04:
It really depends on the exploit. No one knows
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
There are hardware differences between the DT and 2014 Moto X as well. There's really no telling if it will work for your phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
yeah, I just looked it up, different processors. I don't think the different camera should be an issue but the different processors may be.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Yep. I think it looks much better :) You are the only other person I've seen so far that has one.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
me 3, though i dont work for vzw, an EE was the "replacement" for my dev maxx that had a dead charge port. funny thing is i initially asked to buy just a port and was persuaded to send it in. then, once they got it, i was told there were no more droid maxx dev editions and there would not be. i held my ground (through several levels of customer service/web support/even here refusing to accept a dev moto x 1st gen or a Droid Turbo 32gb bmg. Someone pretty smart sent me an EE Turbo, as it is a hard phone to get rid of/resist. Had a N6 (att) as a replacement for about 15 min, but compared to the turbo, there was no (hardware) comparison. sent it back and started the #unlockthedroids campaign in addition to commenting on Rick Osterichs posts, harassing vzw support a bit and really trying my darndest to convince them to unlock it. now, dude decides to break root and prototype turbos are popping up in the wild. it has zero to do with #unlockthedroids , but the timing is pretty ironic. Also, i mentioned on one of the top moto software guys page that it would be awesome if our L update contained the unlock bootloader option in dev settings, but again like 99.9% of my ramblings, it was all likely ignored. there was this too:

Im pretty sure that material doesn't make a difference maybe version of the DT does. As long as the internals are the same I think it will work.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
I don't work for Verizon either. A while back I got an email from Verizon thanking me for being such a long time customer. in the email there was a link to a bunch of really discounted phones. this was one of them. I got the employee edition 64 gig and a turbo charger for my car for $99 :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
i read your post on google+ the XT912 is ugly but super tough and powerful. i still like it and keep it up to date with CM12 even though it has no service. the battery and everything is still strong on it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
identical, aside from battery (i have 2 batt chargers and 3 batteries) and with the wireless charging cover and a case, its like a tank. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
I still had my XT912 with CM12 and all works fine except camera.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
i wish i still had my a855 (d1) as chevy and pete alfonso made some killer uv oc kernels. that is the one thing i wish i had found (or learned to compile) for the Dev Maxx.

That is an amazing bundle for $99, man. i havent signed a contract since my "iphone killer" samsung omnia i910. ;) i used to think it was awesome i could change the color of the mouse to be orange. ;) then i got the droid.. ;) i cant wait for project ara gets bigger, but until then, im clinging to this Turbo hoping for bl unlock.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
when i went to go by the turbo i was even thinking functionally the RAZR is better. sure turbo is like 1B times faster and better, but without root and stuff functionally i would lose stuff. considering with CM even 4.4.4 and 5.0 were not selling points to me. but they were running that trade in a droid for a droid promo. so i took in my old X2 and said how much will you give me they said, $200, i said go ahead ahead and give me that 64Gb model for 50 bucks. otherwise i would not have bought it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
My daughter wanted my XT912 when I got the Turbo and its running cm12. Its still an awesome phone. And like you said its tough as hell. One time it fell off the dash of my truck and bounced twice on the asphalt. Just put a little nick in the top corner of the casing. Barely noticeable. Now I don't use cases mind you. Try that with another phone and see what happens lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
in the ~ 2 month process with "repair" (they dont repair crap ive decided) i decided to buy a mini on 4.4, unlock with sunshine, and not be rocking 2011 as my dd. ;) oddly, the mini is a lot like the bionic w/ a better display. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
my wife dropped her samsumg S4 shattered everything had to send in for replacement i said do it again and i am giving you the XT912 drop that all you want. then when driving in the car that glass on the sw shattered. i do not know what happened as as far as she knew it was just sitting there. but i learned how to replace the glass on it. threat still remains though, if she drops and S4 gets hosed she gets XT912
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Yeah lots of people are like "Why don't you get a case" but so far all the Moto Droids I've had didn't really need a case imo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
I sold my partner at work a Bionic modded for att. He never used a case. Within 2 months of getting an s5 he cracked the screen. ;) im a case nazi. and screen protectors as well. im looking at this flexible glass vzw one thinking i need a skinomi to cover the gaps (and better trimmed red vinyl on the keys) Moto knows how to build them.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
every time i look at other phones i always come back to moto for their superior quality. i am a little disappointed they are now lenovo. i think the DT and Moto X 2014 are going to be the last in a series of great phones
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
^^^ this. i hope were wrong, but bl unlock and ill probably rock the turbo for 2 years. eh, who am i kidding? i will be itching for the next Moto so long as the build quality is the same and there is hope for unlock. ;)

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rayjr13:
I think you misunderstood my point. I was refering to the XT1250 vs the XT1254 not specifically whoever made the comment you are thinking about. Call me selfish but I meant for person like me that's a lot to give up for unlocked bootloader if the XT1254 gets root. Either way I'm saying someone with an XT1250 who was willing to sacrifice VoLTE for root is likely kicking themselves. I was close to being one of those people. How useful thus far has an XT1250 been with bootloader unlocked and no real development? Was/Is a great way to get root on CDMA but a lot less useful than a XT1254 with root. gladly pay a bounty for the XT1254 to have 64GBs/root as well. Just still don't see a difference of 32GB, VoLTE, and potentially different android versions soon.... identical devices...electrically equivalent? maybe..

And yes, not relevant to my conversation, but nothing lost or gained for XT1250 user on carrier carrying the device... .. . . .... ....

Is it more difficult to root the droid turbo than other phones or is it just about to find a developer who buys the phone to create a root method? When we will have root access on the droid turbo? From two days ago i read that verizon doestn lock the bootloaders anymore.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PerCompLLC:
You are correct that Verizon doesn't lock the bootloaders... Rather they REQUIRE that the manufacturer lock down the bootloader of the device in order for it to be used on the VZW network (notable exceptions are the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 6).

A boot loader unlock would be the way to go but no complaints from me I appreciate all the hard work devs are doin
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
My first Droid was the Droid X years ago "that's why I have this user name lol" anyway what would usually happen was for example when Gingerbread came out if you took the ota you lost root. BUT it wasn't but a week or so before someone got it and modified it to install just like any other ROM and then you could keep root. They usually debloated it in the process so you were actually better off in the long run.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
a few things. first, does anyone know why a post with a bunch of tags ( [MENTION=3836686]kitcostantino[/MENTION], etc) wont post? i tried 3 times from my computer to no avail. 2) i was trying to post an updated bounty list ( as i had an hour to kill yesterday) with tags so those that have not been checking in would know the bounty is going to be claimed soon.

3) am i the only one who thinks it is kind of crazy a $3420 bounty going to $`300 is kind of a rip off for the people that put it together? if OP or OP of new bounty wants updated list as of yesterday @ 11am est, shoot me a pm and an email and ill be glad to pass on an excel sheet or text with the data.

i agree [MENTION=4816941]calarco3[/MENTION] . ;) i dont ever pledge for something i hope will (but think is unlikely to happen. i definitely don't mind paying once it is. despite how bad i want bl unlock, i wont theoretically say what ill pay for it. ;) $25 is more than fair. middle man charged $40-45 (its worth that too). im just waiting for an app or kit to be up for purchase. ;) i will outright trade a dev mini (xt1030) for bl unlock, though, so perhaps msm8960dt would be supported too.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
...

Yes, i hear ya on that. Voodoo OTA rootkeeper, what? The problem now (versus then) is it takes far more time with each update. The old rules of *someone will figure it out* still applies, but the reality is things that used to take a week or two now take several months. i am glad android is becoming more secure, but ultimately it sucks the OEMS wont realize that unlocking users (even if we had to buy, say, a dev license) is beneficial to everyone.

True, but ultimately, i think its fair to consider, perhaps, $3k is a big motivation for this to happen. not to mention, many pledgers may not know its coming, finally. then its proven and all of a sudden, the bounty thread is impossible (took me about an hour) to recover and a new thread must be started. Honestly, i get it. i just think, perhaps, a little effort is in order. especially when you have the data right there.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] diabl0w:
I feel like the author may be waiting for lollipop to drop before he publicly posts the exploit... that way the exploit will probably work for lollipop too. If he posts it now, then verizon/motorola will be sure to patch it before releasing lollipop.

On the same token, verizon/motorola may be waiting for the exploit to become known before they drop lollipop. As a result, we may potentially be waiting a while before one of these two groups folds first ... just a hunch that I am hoping I am wrong about
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DireWolfAlpha:
There's no way to know if the root method would work on lollipop
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Mocha_Bean:
The exploit's author might know, or might think he knows. If its CVE-2015-1474, then there is a good chance of it working on Lollipop, unless it's 5.1.
