I have a few reactions to rooting phones...

Root Phase...

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] localceleb:
I remember my first bootloop like it was yesterday. That's some scary stuff haha.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Nailed it! LMAO
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] savagebunny:
Edit it with text affect... This is my life the past 5 years. I got gray hairs over it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
Don't you have to have a custom recovery to make a nandroid?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
First time I screwed up my phone wouldnt even make it to the boot animation. It was stuck on the Moto M LOL Now thats some scary stuff :eek:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
That would be correct.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bmcclure937:
Yeah but wouldn't you need the custom recovery anyhow to flash a custom ROM that may cause the boot loop?!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] savagebunny:
Don't under estimate the power of nandroid. There is a reason every dev out there says to make a back-up.... You may need that back-up that day or a few days later, but when you get trigger happy and flash something new and you dun goofed, you'll thank your self hours of work
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JulesJam:
But don't you need bootloader unlock to get a custom recovery?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
That is also correct unless something like safestrap is brought to the turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
yup....well, no. there have been many phones that required an app to bootstrap, etc, then custom recovery was accessible. on the Droid Bionic, Safestrap was an amazing recovery and didnt require bl unlock. its possible, but not very likely
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] nrage23:
The guy who created and maintained Safestrap has discontinued support for it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Correct. I remember back in the DroidX days we had an app called bootstrap. You would run the app while the phone was on and running then power off and boot into Clockworkmod :D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calarco3:
Something like.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] MoPhoMike:
What you SHOULD do before we get root is: Go to store and stock up on ROOTbeer, Chips and Dips, Doritos, Hot-Pockets, Taco-bell, etc...

I have additionally Updated SDK Suite, downloaded fresh Moto Drivers, found TWO new USB Cables, lubricated wheels/recline/elevator post and seat swivel on the office chair, cleaned the potato chip grease from the keyboard, wiped down screens, factory rest the 32Gb Turbo, backed-up the 64Gb Turbo (you know..)

aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnddddd, now we WAIT.. **sigh**
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
^^^ yessir. i just made a new mini adb fast boot install just for this phone. http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools

makes sense. thinking about how this is all possible, i want to leave my old xt1080mDEV setup that has system images, etc kicking around alone just in case it can help my buddy gain root/bl unlock on his that is stuck on 4.4.4
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
So theoretically if someone came up with an app for the DT like bootstrap was for the DroiX then we could use a regular recover like CWM or TWRP and wouldn't have to have safestrap right?

SWEET! :D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
I am well aware, Hashcode dropped support 9/1/2014. Which is why I said "something like safestrap." Also Safestrap is up on Hashcode's github so we are not 100% dead in the water. Someone could possibly pick up support for it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Sareniah:
Just to be clear, I should backup before I attempt any root, and once successful I should install a heavier (root required) backup app?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
i don't know if he will have any interest in it, but i just asked dhacker if he would be interested in porting it. idk how possible or how much of a PITA that would be, but I bet he could do it if he wanted to. ;)

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Tomsgt:
Yes I am lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
you should back up your files for sure. it is just a good rule of thumb in general, but until we all have ready a (no data loss) FXZ for reflashing a brick, it is fairly safe to presume you will lose everything on your phone if something goes wrong.

As far as an fxz like that, you just need to edit the line that says erase user data to prevent that, but sometimes you have to skip partitions (i.e.-every time I reflashed my xt1080m i had to skip (delete out) a line about gpt.bin and flash manually in fast boot instead of using RSD lite. crap. if we have to use RSD Lite, I'm going to have to use one of the ancient dual boot boxes... (xp/ubuntu 13.4) craaaaapp....no time for bootcamp.

[MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION] , didn't you (or someone else) say we will be using RSD Lite 6.4? (hoping I'm wrong)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Flowah:
I'm literally dying right now.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] savagebunny:
Don't threaten me with a good time
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gqskrub:
Hey, will I be able to perform root on my Mac? Someone also asked about Linux. Or is it windows specific?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
right there with ya dude.

also, if so, is there a better way than bootcamp?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Sareniah:
While I appreciate your attempt at explaining something to me, It seemed quite staccato and I hardly followed it. I plan to do a full SD backup

I am unfamiliar with RSD as this is my first motorola device. Do I need it or am I fine with just clouding and SD card backup?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] this_is_nascar:
From the looks of things here, I'm going to be one of the few (maybe the only one) that waits a day or two or three after root is available, before I take the plunge and install it to my phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Tomsgt:
Technical difficulties right now it is being felt with ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
I am all ready to go and root this device. I will not be leaving this spot until root is released and I have successfully rooted my turbo.

My setup
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] johnbravado:
wife wont let you upload until you have dinner?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
Sorry. Yes. Do a backup. On a cloud is great, on your computer (if you have one available) is also great.

An FXZ file is Motorola's factory image.

RSD Lite is Motorola's Software for flashing said factory images (FXZ's)

In an FXZ file, there is an .xml file that has a list of commands for flashing. within this, there are lines (such as the one which by default will read "fastboot erase user data" until you edit this via Text Edit (Mac) or Notepad++ (Win) it will erase your internal sd card.

Hope that helps. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] MoPhoMike:
[MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION]: that is just all sorts of WRONG!! Are you tripping on ROOTbeer and 5-hour Energy?? When this is all over, you'll have plenty of love and cash to restock... LOL

I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way. I, in no way, meant to sound like I'm doubting anything about this effort or the finished product. I just inherently, am not one to want to be the 1st one to have something new. I prefer to wait some period of time, to allow the more brazen to take the leap. This goes with anything, not just phones. I hope I haven't offended anyone.

Also, thanks to you both for making this possible. I'm so waiting to get Titanium Backup back up and running on my Turbo, in addition to the enable the hot-spot.

I'll admit I have to but not with USB and I prefer VBox over VMWare Player but that's personal preference. Feel free to use what works best for you. Those are the most common alternatives to using BootCamp other than parallels or Wine (if Wine even works on Mac)

I've got Linux dual booted alongside Windows on my machine, so I'll probably just boot into Windows for this. However my university's internet is gonna throw a hissy fit on how out of date my Windows is so I'll have to get that sorted before root, lol.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
VirtualBox is free, VMware player offers a 30 day free trial!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jwort93:
If it's gonna take a while, why not just download the required files in linux first and then boot into windows?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ekkoria:
Oh that's definitely what I'm going to do. But if something goes wrong that I have to look up I may have issues, or if I need to update drivers, etc.

[MENTION=2176703]gqskrub[/MENTION] You can do VBox or VMWare Player (your choice) and ubuntu 14.10 LTS for adb - Thats totally free but requires a good amount of dl (download) time.

Or with windows -Free-ish but need a Windows License.

[MENTION=5033954]Ekkoria[/MENTION] Can't you download the files for root in Linux and mount the Windows partition while still in Linux and transfer the root files to the root of the Windows partition(C:\)? (Provided this is all on the same drive.

Motorola Drivers

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
EDIT ^^^ much eaiser ^^^^

EDIT ^^^ MUCH EASIER ABOVE ^^^

just in case.. click

on the link , http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=tools

(ha, it was still on my clipboard) click on 'download the sdk now' then download the appropriate package (zip file) for your system. on windows, i always make the directory for this directly off of my hard drive (i go to my hard drive ( C:// ) and make a new folder called "android" typically.)

it is a good rule of thumb to not leave spaces in a title. Either way, extract the zip folder on your desktop, then open the folder. select all the files and paste them into either c://android (once ya make that folder if you go that route) or (like i did on the mac) make a folder there or on your desktop called xt1254 and paste the files there.

once you have done that, you just have to use cd (change directory) commands from command prompt/terminal

example, windows- cd C://android

then it will return:

C://android>

mac: from terminal app (it's on there lol)

cd /users/kitcostantino/Desktop/xt1254 (my turbo ADB/fastboot folder)

which returns:

...... xt1254>

the only other element is the motorola usb driver

When this comes out I am going to test it on a Verizon OG Moto X Dev Ed running 4.4.4 with an unlocked bootloader, which is unbrickable unless the exploit somehow messes with the partition table. If it works on that, then next is my Moto X 2014.

Lol. The Moto Drivers link just returns

Would you all get off the server now?? ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
if i am thinking about this (theorizing really based on what has been said/seen so far) correctly, the xt1080s stuck on 4.4.4 may be saved by dev editions on 4.4.4 .

i could be totally wrong, but i believe this is going to be very device specific, but the principle may be universal-ish.

Any official updates are signed by Motorola with a key that only they have. The phone has another key that's used to verify that the signature on the update is officially from Motorola. Any modifications to the update will change the signature, so we can't just modify an official update either.
