For those who said something about root voiding warranty, I thought so too. Look up the DMCA and it does state that rooting is legal and won't void warranty. Unlocking the BL to change/alter software is another story though and will void warranty. I'll post a link if I can find what I read again.

Edit: http://rescueroot.com/android/is-rooting-android-phones-and-tablets-legal/

States rooting phones is legal. Tablets illegal. Unlocking is illegal unless you obtain permission from the carrier (except if you purchase an unlocked device from a carrier I would assume).

i know little about EDGE, as i am still on an old plan with ulimited data. doesnt it technically enter you into a contract? root

i know i was going to try that before i bought my dev maxx, but i didnt know about the discount (as im not on a more shared plan) and there was some reason i laughed at the guy in my local store when he explained it. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
Want drama, here I unlocked my bootloader. :p

HORRIBLE IMAGE QUALITY, I KNOW.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
Sadly this is true LOL
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
It's how we roll.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
True, but my old RAZR M also called it home to Moto. So it is on record for what it's worth. I've never had an issue that needed warranty work though, and I've never traded a qe 1/0 in, so I would not know.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] drmrjake:
The app shows that it's been rooted... Of it on root junky?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
It's pointing to root junky because he has stated that he will release today barring any unforseen issues.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
You are entering into a contract to finance your phone, yes, but not a contract to maintain your service with Verizon. And if you d/c your service with Verizon, you have to pay off what is remaining on the financing contract but you don't pay an ETF.

Since you can't get the $25/mo line discount on your legacy UDP line, you are better off with the 2 year contract. If you would like to read about methods to use your subsidized upgrade and keep your UDP, this thread on slick deals is informative:

http://slickdeals.net/f/7743625-ver...n-or-avoid-a-2-year-data-plan-on-a-basic-line

Yeah, Edge usually is the best deal only if you can get the $25/mo line discount on a More Everything plan of at least 6GB of data. IF you are under 6GB of data, you get a $15/mo line discount and in that case usually a 2 year contract is a better deal.

Root!

here‘s the two videos.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] phishfi:
It's not just the processor that's important here. All it takes is for Motorola to have used a different bootloader firmware or any of a number of other software differences that could make this Droid Turbo specific. We'll all know when/if this releases, but I don't think anyone should get their hopes up if they have a different Moto device.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dwh2o13:
If you have taken the latest update I'm guessing a factory data reset will not revert you back to the original system. Correct?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Cobra04:
Correct. That's why an unlocked bootloader is so great.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] C00ljoe:
Has anyone tried the commands in the video? Their isn't any adb push commands so you shouldn't need any files right?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kwyrt:
I think the commands he is using in the video are just to show root has been achieved on the device. Not what you need to do to root it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] trimaze:
I think your right kwyrt, but it does look like he went from non-root to root
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
That is what an su binary does. You do not have an su binary on your phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Artnig:
This is amazing news, looks like putting off the OTA everyday for months has finally paid off!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pnhst:
Despite the fact the boot loader is still locked it should allow for kexec to work(safestrap) and we can still have bootlader unlocked like experience .. I don't claim to be an expert so if I'm wrong I wouldn't be surprised..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GeoFX:
Unlocked BL is one thing. For those of us still with an unlimited data plan, now we can wifi-tether with impunity with root :victory:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mistermojorizin:
If you want to keep track of whether the developer of this root has said anything new here on the forum, or actually released the root method, you can check this link from time to time: http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=5697730

With so many threads popping up, it's getting hard keeping track of the source of the information.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] spinach.chin:
I'm by no means an expert, but if I'm not mistaken, no custom ROMs until it's unlocked, correct?

Root without unlock would mean we're stuck on KitKat.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] SirBindy:
If they can make safe strap work, we can flash roms. A locked bootloader will only lock us to official kernels.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] spinach.chin:
OK, cool!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] civiksi:
I hope he throws out some info soon. Just to let us know what version it works on and a rough eta of releasing it. Also If I'm we're on a version that it doesn't work on it would be good to know not to bother waiting. I know I don't wanna be that eta guy but I'm sure a ton of people are itching to take that Lollipop ota when it comes.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
I remember back in my Droid X days we used Bootstrap and CWM to flash ROMs :D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PILLMUZIK3600:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Do you remember the Vortex ROM? That ROM was awesome! It was about as close to perfect as you can get imo
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] PILLMUZIK3600:
Yes I do. I also remember liberty rom
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JakeDHS07:
Today is an exciting day. I just want to take a moment to thank those who made this possible. It was stated that it was impossible but I always had faith in this community. And today their determination and our resilience pays off. I would also like to point out for those unaware that this greatly increases the likelihood we will also see a bootloader unlock. As now with root it will be easier to get into the system files and poke around. I personally will be starting work on looking into the bootloader which root is released. The future is bright my friends.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bill0405:
Very much looking forward to your work and results. Good luck with the digging around!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kwyrt:
Guys, I know when the root method will be released. It should be around 10PM EST. That should be about the time I will be just a little too drunk to actually attempt the process (but probably will anyway).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
GEEZZ At 3:00 this morning he said the video was coming along nicely. This thing must be as long as a Kevin Costner movie! LOL "I'm Just kidding" :D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calarco3:
Just curious. Where did you /how did you get that information?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Leraeniesh:
Gotta be the best day to trip and bust my Turbo's LCD.

Glad Verizon's got this one time replacement. Not like my warranty will matter anymore :D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
he doesnt know. Hes guessing. My best bet is usually rootjunky releases video around 5pm or 6pm eastern time so not sure what that is for central time but thats what it seems with most of his videos
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calarco3:
Gotcha. central is 1hr earlier than eastern.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
Moto X 2014 is not a Quark phone, right? Because of the different processor and different camera?

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] MaliciousBoy:
Your Turbo won't go anywhere and neither will the root. You can live one more day without root.

Your grade in whatever class depends on you studying right now and getting off XDA Lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TechBSwift:
[MENTION=422491]maiko[/MENTION], will your method work on other Motorola phones, and maybe other brands running 4.4.4? I have a turbo but I also have a note edge, I'm happy to pay for root for both.

Ok, install adb on new laptop, check. Refresh play store to see if root checker is updated, check. Hit f5 in xda, check. Check calendar to make sure this isn't a huge and downright dirty April fools prank, check.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Flowah:
In the words of David X. Cohen: "Screw them." :p

I hope you and Maiko know that at least one person is basing their entire decision on whether or not to buy a Droid Turbo on your guys' release of this root method.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Character Zero:
There is probably a hour long disclaimer covering the phones this does not work on because "Root for Droid Turbo" still brings the "will this work for..." questions.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] MaliciousBoy:
I had actually bought the Turbo when it came out hoping there would be root in a month or so. When there wasn't, I had no choice but to return the phone and get another phone. With the release of this root, I will gladly go back
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] three west:
I've been weighing options of whether to go with the Turbo and give up the root life, or go with the Nexus 6. I think the N6 is too big, and there's no moto actions, so this pretty much seals the deal for me to jump to the Turbo.

Been biding my time, the ole Razr HD Maxx has served me well but is getting long in the tooth.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
Sorry I misread the original post

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mikera67:
I held back from installing Motorola drivers just in case they used different ones for the root process, did grab the latest adb package, can't think of anything else I can do now until the process is unleashed
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Character Zero:
You have to downgrade to 4.1.2 first.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
Oh lord, my Dell XPS 13(2015) won't see my turbo on adb for mtp or ptp. Moto driver and universal don't cause the debugging auth. prompt to fire up :(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] renegadeone8:
The edge price of a phone is 150 dollars cheaper than the outright cost though. Its in your best interest to put the device on edge even if you pay it off in full 30 days later.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ekkoria:
[MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION], I know you've probably been getting TONS of questions, but will I be able to perform this root method under Linux? I haven't booted Windows in months and my university will undoubtedly block my Internet access under Windows for it bring outdated..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] localceleb:
Abd doesn't work well with USB 3.0 ports.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Sefirosu:
Yeah same here. It worked fine for me for a short while then just up and stopped.

I have to use a very slow antiquated vista laptop to do all of my adb stuff.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nflwideout86:
I have an lg g3, rooted, with a lollipop aosp rom on it...

should i jump ship to the turbo?

I'm hesitant because the g3 is a nice phone but i loove the turbo, and loooove amoled screens with a passion, while the g3 has an lcd screen. Decent, but i miss those true blacks on amoled screens.

also the g3 has a 5.5 inch screen and i have android 5.0.2 on it, but i still kinda want to jump ship to the turbo for some reason, and the only thing that's been holding me back is no root...now that it's a possibility, the turbo is calling my name...whispering sweet nothings ever so softly into my ear!

but lollipop is nice..

what should i do guys? what would you do?

To turbo or not to turbo?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
hahahahahahaha!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Yeah I have an older PC set up in the basement just for adb stuff too LOL

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
I just took the optical drive out of my mac and threw an SSD running an old version of Windows. Although I don't have trouble with adb on OSX.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
Correct, it is the full price split over 24 months with no finance charge. Edge is simply a zero interest financing program.

With the $15/mo line discount, you are usually better off with a 2 year contract. But with the $25/mo line discount you are almost always better off with an Edge phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Character Zero:
I have trouble with adb on OSX before. Fastboot always works, but adb sometimes doesn't.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:

Motorola Droid Turbo on Verizon.

Thanks! LMFAO
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] theycallmerayj:
Not sure if this helps anyone but you have to add ". /" to adb commands on OSX
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nrage23:
I had the G3 and bought a Turbo off of Craiglist. The a week later I found a good deal on a Note 4. I sold my G3 and kept the Turbo. I wish I still had the G3. The LCD on the G3 is not noticeably worse than the AMOLED on the Turbo. They both pale in comparison to the AMOLED on the Note 4. I like the feel of the Turbo just not a fan of the screen. I am hoping with root I will have a reason to use the Turbo more. Without root the Note 4 is a much better phone and I feel the G3 rooted is better than a non rooted Turbo. Just my 2 cents.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
Its a VERY DIFFICULT concept to grasp.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Character Zero:
It wasn't that. It wouldn't find the device.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wifnhzivxllo:
What is this optical drive you speak of?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] _tek_:
You would think this is a free-for-all thread where ANY phone can be rooted with this magical Droid Turbo method. How about we all stop asking silly questions and just wait until the details are released to see how it even works. Only then can anyone determine which devices it may work on.

Sorry if this is rude to anyone, I've waited quietly for a VERY LONG time for a root method to be found, and once found for details to be released. I'm all for open conversations, but not these silly questions. It makes it extremely difficult to peruse pages and pages of posts to find relevant information from Maiko and Rootjunky.

Sorry, just my two cents!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] joeriv5692:

My father had one of those on his pc. It was used to read something called cd's. Strange?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Flowah:
It could very possibly be more complicated than that. There have been a few updates pushed to the device. The root may not work on certain versions of the software, even if the device is exactly the same.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
The disc drive.

Here's a tutorial that explains the same things I did to replace mine.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mikera67:
glad i checked, adb wasnt working on new laptop, had to install the driver manually, ready to go now
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] _tek_:
Agreed.

However, asking questions of people whom are obviously very busy doesn't help anyone here. We have to wait until the details are released to even see whats up and which versions it will work for.

Just joined the forum. I bought a DT full retail price so I can keep my UDP and then I discovered the hotspot issue. Several minutes of google research landed me here. Excited for this root and looking forward to stretching my programming muscles again. It's been a while.

Assuming Maiko1 is successful in providing a usable root, what is the usual method of providing a donation and thanking him for his efforts? I saw on the bounty page that this is usually taken care of through PMs. Is paypal the usual method? Or is the first rule of financially compensating someone on such a legally gray area, "We don't talk about root club."
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
I think they used paypal before as a donation spot a lot of peopl eon xda have a donation paypal account
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] CyanBlob:
I've never rooted a phone before. Is there any chance that rooting will prevent us from getting Lollipop (or any future update) when they are released?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GeneralMills777:
Typically you can unroot.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] skmpowdjy:
No, but there's no guarantee you'll still have root on Lollipop. It might even prevent you from updating to Lollipop until you un-root.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
and sometimes you have to lead with [what you type]

[ sudo] and enter your password, and then, for example, to flash a system image, [./fastboot flash system system.img ]

Welcome to the dark side! LOL But seriously depending on the method released rooting can be dangerous to your device if you don't know what you are doing. So learn all you can before you attempt it. Not trying to scare you just caution you because all of us have been in your shoes at one time. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] savagebunny:
Man.. even after having experience of rooting/modding 5 different phones since Inc1 days... I still get scared until I know the device is rooted. Dark magic happens sometimes...
