People need to understand things take time. Over the years XDA has created individuals, that for some reason have a sense of entitlement... I believe this attitude steams from the way things use to be in the android. In the beginning stages unlocking bootloader seemed like a possible thing, while rooting was a guaranteed thing. As security increased it became harder and harder to root phones, therefore the exploits became more valuable. I too want root, but I'm not entitled to root. If it comes I will pay my bounty fee, and be extremely happy.

My point is, we have to stop pointing fingers and being so negative. All of us waiting to obtain root and willing to pay for root, is because we are waiting for someone who is smarter than us on the subject matter, to obtain root. Therefore sense of entitlement should be thrown out the window, and our respect levels should increase for one another.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Well, you're wrong. I am entitled to root because I won't buy a phone without it. So there.

That's the solution. I refuse to buy a phone without root. ALL my Androids have had root (I've owned 9). And I unlocked the bootloader on all of them and installed custom ROMs on all of them.

With the Moto Maxx, I'm having to use xposed/Gravity Box (which is like a custom ROM) until CM12 or whatever is released. But when I pay full price for a top tier phone, it's going to have root -- or I'm not buying it. It's a non-negotiable.

Yeah, fantastic phone. With root.

Paid full price for all 9 Androids. All had root, all bootloaders could be unlocked -- and of course I unlocked them.

Moto Maxx (2)

gen 5 Nexus 5 (2)

gen 3 Galaxy Nexus (2)

LG Esteem (1)

LG Optimus M (2)

That's the FIRST thing I do with my phones -- UNlock the bootloader and root them, and customize them the way I want. So, for me it is a guaranteed thing with all my Androids. Don't know about you. ;)

I also contribute money to developers for kernels, ROMs, SuperSU, Titanium Backup. because I am thankful for stuff like root and the ability to FULLY CONTROL the phone I've paid for.. If you don't have root, you don't really own your phone.

Now if you have bought a phone that doesn't already have root, then no you are not guaranteed that. You have paid your money and made your choice. You have shown root in NOT really important to you at all. Whereas, I am guaranteed root on every phone I buy. :cool:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Javiggan69:
Good luck on your final testing, can't wait until its released.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ekkoria:
People, please try to stay civil. I know it's frustrating waiting for root for so long, and everyone is desperate for some sort of confirmation it's coming. Now you have it, we're in the "final stages of testing." Let's all just relax for a moment, take a deep breath and appreciate the work maiko1 and possibly others are doing, and quit bickering among ourselves. Then maybe a mod won't shut down this thread. :) it's been less than a week since the root method was announced, we waited five months till now. I'm sure we can all hold out a little bit longer.

Now we need someone to make a custom recovery of some kind so we can make that all important first backup.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
All I can say is for XT1250 try the method for the XT1225 If that doesn't work. Wait for the XT1254 method to be posted. Sorry.

[MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION]

First I want to thank you for your work.

Second, I wanted to ask if you knew whether a Turbo that's accepted any updates would still be able to use the method you've discovered. Specifically the VoIP update. If it's possible, could you give us (or pm me) with the build number or software number you have so I can check this phone I see for sale and see if it's still rootable?

Thanks again man!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bowers41:

This is the longest I've ever been without root. Tbh its because I usually can't afford a phone that I want that's this new. So by the time I get them they usually have a root lol

It will work on all Android and BlackBerry devices.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PILLMUZIK3600:
If by other phones you mean the droid TURBO THEN YES....AS U ARE IN THE DROID TURBO SECTION
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TechBSwift:
I'm asking if the root works for other android phones like lg, htc, Samsung, etc. If it does it opens Pandora box.... I like my turbo, but part of me likes the Sony Z3. My droid has been sitting in the drawer for the last two weeks because of no root.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Diego1751:
5.1 for the turbo is official. Its in the works and not ready to download. Oh man I'm so excited! I can't wait for root to be posted so we can hopefully upgrade while keeping root

I'm guessing root will ve posted after this ota is pushed.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] matheus_sc:
For moto maxx root make updates dont work, i think will be same in droid turbo
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] 7eregrine:
Are you kidding me?? Please tell me you are kidding...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] yvmexcl:
Who will win?

Verizon taking Lollipop ....

Vs.

Maiko and JCASE's with ROOT! 4.4

Place your bets ....

my Bets

Verizon in April 2017

Maiko and Jcases's May 2016 ...

lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
It makes sense. Think of it this way.. In this case, if you leave the Ferrari in the garage long enough, eventually it'll turn into a Koenigsegg, but if you take it out early, you risk the chance of it staying as a Ferrari.

Additionally, cheers, [MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION]. Keep up the great work! :good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
Jcase already stated he has nothing to do with root here its all [MENTION=422491]maiko[/MENTION] and his team
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TechBSwift:
Nope, not kidding honest truth. I have a turbo, note edge, and nexus 6.I use the nexus 6 for work (not rooted), but for personal I have to use the other phones. If I'm going to use a phone without root, it's going to be the note edge because it provides more to play with. Once the turbo is rooted, I'm upgrading the edge to lollipop, and switching back to the turbo and never upgrading to lollipop, so I can use xposed on 4.4.4

Sent from my SM-N915V
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] skmpowdjy:
I hope root survives the OTA update to 5.1 ... it's going to be tempting to take it vs. waiting on 4.4 for a possible bootloader unlock.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Why not use xposed on Lollipop?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] civiksi:
+1 that. I'm sure that's a lot of peoples dilemma. I know I'm thinking the same thing.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TechBSwift:
Correct me if I'm wrong but you have to have a custom recovery to install xposed on 5.xx

Sent from my SM-N915V
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nozzleman_85:
No you don't. All you need is the Xposed app
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
Wasn't there a bug with using Xposed on Samsung lollipop ROMs?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
I am in the same boat as you. I feel like the best bet though is to sit tight and wait it out. I am sure people are going to start right away at trying to get the bootloader unlocked on 4.4.4. If root even survives to 5.1 when 5.1 is released there still would have been more people working longer on getting the BL unlocked on 4.4.4 for a longer time. I just have a hunch that if we ever get a BL unlock it will come to 4.4.4 faster if at all than to 5.1. Worst case scenario is we wait it out with root and mod with Xposed and then just update if BL unlock doesn't come. Its much easier to wait and see what happens then upgrade and wish you could be able to downgrade. Just my 2 cents.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Uh, you go to the Motorola bootloader unlock page and go from there. Be sure to use notepad to copy the text from your command prompt results as it's a LONG, LONG string of characters and if you mis-type even one, Motorola will say it can't be unlocked.

After you root your XT1250, which is identical to the Droid Turbo -- even has CDMA and will run on Verizon -- then you flash TWRP. It's all detailed in the Android development threads. Go, start reading.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Not true for Xposed for lollipop, true for the previous versions. As of now, the only way to install the framework is to flash a zip, and there is no official uninstall method (although if you dig deep enough, you can find a guide to do it manually).

Also, I think you need to have an unlocked bootloader in order for Xposed to not mess up your phone once installed, but I'm not entirely sure about that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I dunno.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
There was, and still is, but it should work fine on a Motorola phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
I would be perfectly happy with that except for VoLTE needs 5.1 on the Moto X 2014.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
I was speaking of him trying to use Xposed on his note edge. Then again I don't think there is a lollipop ROM out for the note edge....yet
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] KennyG123:
Not sure how some fell for the trolling of [MENTION=2414417]endafy[/MENTION]!

A simple gander at his post history will find this thread he created just last month:

http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/missed-root-t3028690/post58794613#post58794613

Does that sound like someone working on a root project? After reading that does the rest of his nonsense not resemble pure trolling?

Thread cleaned. Among other things.

Thank you for your cooperation

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bowers41:
I'll just go ahead and say I forgot how to do this stuff. I haven't messed with root or ROMs since 2.3 gingerbread. After that I jumped on the Apple wagon and didn't come back til now. Some serious changes and memory loss occurred in those 3 or so years. I had a Droid X (my carrier calls it Milestone X), I rooted it, then flashed Verizon's version of Honeycomb to it because I was impatient for my carrier to release. It stopped taking ota's because it thought it was a Verizon phone so I was stuck and grabbed a iPhone 4.

Anyhow, if you have a link where I can get some instruction to root this thing, that would be awesome. If not I'll figure it out in a few hours after work. I need to go get a computer.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
not available yet for the turbo
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bowers41:
I don't have a turbo, I have a moto maxx, which is the equivalent to my carrier. Same exact phone except not on Verizon. There's apparently a way to gain root on this one.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
wrong thread look for the moto maxx instrustions this thread itself u are in is for the turbo
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:

I'll send you the rooting, custom recovery threads when I get home.

To every one else, he has the "Droid Turbo" with bootloader that can be unlocked-- the XT1250 with CDMA/GSM/HSPA/LTE (bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13). Has the same FCC ID and everything of the XT1254. Verizon just decided to call their phone a "Droid".

The XT1250 can run on Verizon, but this guy is on a regional CDMA/LTE carrier. He's not switching to Verizon. He just has the same phone, under a different name. (The name was exclusive, not the PHONE.)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
He-he :D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bowers41:
Thanks man. And again for explaining why I'm on this thread lol. My carrier is Bluegrass Cellular, but it seems more and more likely that Verizon will buy them out. Right now I have 2 unlimited talk and text lines with 28GB data and only pay $233, Verizon told me to get the same with them it would be like $300.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] therapist1:
so when/where can we find a guide on how to root our Droid Turbos?

When it comes out I'm sure there will be a thread in the forums here about it. I'll also update the OP in this thread to link to it.

Not a post in 13 hours. Its like the calm before the release!

We will have root by sundown, men. No longer will we suffer! The dawn of our glory is upon us, and we will bask in it frivolously. We will reign again with SuperSU as our staff of righteousness! Prepare yourselves for this, men, it shall be a glorious, historic day for our brethren!!
