Massive Thank You

This is amazing. $20 is nowhere near enough for this fix to the turbo. Before my phone had all these bugs like no 9x9 pattern unlock, missing quick settings like torch, no pie control, noon resizable keyboard height, non adjustable status bar icons, and now I've been able to patch them all with mofo! You are a god and I hope you make a fortune and continue to provide the 'patching' to fix the droid that moto and big V aren't doing!

Maybe no one knows the answer?

LOL! What a jerk post.

The N6 is huge - I have one and it really is too big to be a daily driver for most people. Plus the battery life is not great compared to the DT. And the "cloud white" is a dingy gray, yuck. There are no good white cases for it and the skins aren't adequate protection not to mention they hurt your hands. I don't like the blue one at all so that is not an option.

To each his own.

[OFF TOPIC] Not the Fire TV's currently being shipped by amazon (at least the boxes) [\OFF TOPIC].

The question to the developer is if he intends to expand his tool to support other devices prone to the same exploits as the Turbo.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] heath223:
First off BIG THANKS ! To the maker of this got mine done last night and have my teathering I've been waiting for. Now on to a ? I've rooted in the past but all I did was a little workaround to get teathering going so this was my first time flashing anything and it was kinda easy really. But after I finished I was going through my settings and noticed under storage android os is 8.3gb does that sound about right? I am just wondering if I messed up and have the image I flashed and the original image from before I rooted somehow. The image I flashed was a little over 3gb.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kitcostantino:
If your phone is functioning properly, there is no issue, dude. the android os on mine is 11.70 no matter what.(64gb) I take it you have a 32gb Turbo. This is an awesome means of modding. especially with all the talented peeps around here.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
There is only 1 system partition and it can contain only 1 system image. When you flash a new system.img, it overwrites the old one.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] heath223:
Thanks! Also thanks for helping me keep my Verizon UDP ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Clayton993:
why

How can anyone complain about this? Its way better than nothing and works flawlessly. I justnl finished flashing Computerfreek274s system image and love it. $20 is a small price to pay for WiFi tether which I missed. I'm on the old unlimited Verizon plan and now I can share that with my tablet on the road. THANKS!

Plus no more ads, boot sound, bloat..ect. I'd love WP off but I'll take this over nothing any day.

The website to download the pre-rooted image is broken( As of 4/4/15) anybody have a mirror?

Also, will this "Image Flash" Wipe the phone or no?

(Website tried is the MotoFirmware.Center)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
both of those have been rooted, firetv several times over.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maiko1:
Mirror added. The flash only writes to system, does not clear data.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Metfanant:
is there something that would be causing my Turbo to literally "lose" root access??...

- flashes fine through Mofo...root works perfectly...then after some time (sometimes a few hours, this last time a few minutes) root access just disappears...Rootchecker will fail, titanium fails root check, SuperSU tells me that "No SU binary is installed"

- a reboot will fix the problem, but its getting rather annoying..
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beckerfj:
Did you ever get this resolved? I have the exact same problem. I'm running a Win7 Ultimate VBox guest with a Win7 Home Premium host. I followed the video and the mofoverify script just hangs.

Should we not be using a VM?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] savagebunny:
Ya dont use a VM. That's your issue
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Prowler_gr:
The currently shipped fire tv boxes are shipped with firmware that is immune to towelroot method.

The only way to currently root a fireTV with firmware newer than 51.1.2.0 is via a (moderately difficult) hardware mod which involves soldering an emmc cardreader and manually mounting & copying SuperSU via a linux machine.

Refer to http://www.aftvnews.com/software/ & http://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tv-stick-rooted-via-hardware-soldering-method/

Amazon has even introduced an efuse bootloader on firmware newer than 51.1.4.1 which would also make downgrading impossible (even with root possible).

So yeah the firetv

was

easily rootable just a few months ago, but moving forward a new rooting method is urgently needed....

Any ideas why I might getting the "dead" android when going to stock recovery after mofo? Other than that everything is working flawlessly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Butcher98:
I get this also.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jcase:
Well aware, I was the first to root it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Prowler_gr:
I know that jcase, I am quite aware of your work.

Any chance of you giving it a go with newer firmwares?

I do not mean to hijack this thread but the Fire TV community has been building their hopes on new exploits to achieve root.

See thread here.

Anyway I won't continue hijacking this thread, if [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION] are interested please drop a line in the Fire TV forum.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PerCompLLC:
Answering my own question here... When you get to the "dead" android, hold down the volume up button and quickly press the power button to toggle the stock recovery menu on.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] EvanLovesToast:
Dished out $20 to try it now that there's some good images to flash. Temporarily disabled write protection and updated AdAway, got the volume mod, yadda yadda. Phone is definitely better now that I'm not infiltrated by advertisements and the like. I see a lot of future development going on with future images for this phone and disabling of write protection. Great work to everyone who has taken the time to work on this!

So, has anyone found a stock 21.44.12 .img in case we need to remove root?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beckerfj:
That was the problem! Thanks!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ahaynes42:
This thread has the 21.21.15 stock firmware. When asked about 21.44.12 they just said to install 21.21.15 and then OTA. I guess that's the only option we have right now for getting back to 21.44.12. I wonder why there is no stock 21.44.12 floating around.

Help with Python, rooting

I've been struggling with this MOFO Root stuff for two days now. I can't get python working. Error "Python27.dll not installed". I have a Macbook Pro, running VMWare, a brand new, clean installed version of Windows 7, Downloaded and installed Motorola_USB_Driver_V6.2.0, and python-2.7.9.amd64, installed both, installed Python with Python in the path. Then what? Instructions are vague. What about something like Safestrap? Not applicable?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] savagebunny:
First off. The method wasn't tested in VMware or Virtual box. So use a Windows based PC to flash

Second. The directions in the video, and modo website says Python x86... Not x64.

If safestrap was a option, wouldn't it be listed?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mactechnm:
While I appreciate your response, you don't need to be a smart A**. Like I said, EVERY phone that exists has different root/firmware/flashing instructions and options. Everything for the Turbo is brand new, so I'm trying to piece together the instructions, and what options are available/how everything works. That's why I asked. I guess not everyone is as smart as you.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] savagebunny:
If you read the OP, what I just said in my response above has all been stated since MOFO was released. Says in the video tom released, and directly on the MOFO website.

I'm tired of the XDA community expecting to be spoon fed information when it only takes 5 minutes of time to read directions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] activeservo:
You need to install the python 32 bit version even if your system is 64 bit. I had the same problem.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] fatasian:
I keep receiving Quark Fastboot Driver not installed. I feel like this is why I can generate the code of of MOFO. Halp.

EDIT: 2 machine got it done.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mactechnm:
Thanks! :) That helped. It all worked. I uninstalled python 64 bit, and rebooted, installed x86 version (my logical assumption was to install 64 bit version), and I was able to run mofoverify, and then download mofo. Downloading an image now. Hope that goes smooth.

Titanium backup issue

Has anyone had an issue with Titanium Backup Pro not being able to verify your license on startup? It recommends you uninstall and reinstall it, but if tried a few times to no avail.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PerCompLLC:
No issues here but I can tell you that in the past I did have an issue with a corrupted license file on my M8 (which was weird since it was the same file I had always used) . I ended up looking through a bunch of old backups on my laptop and pulled a license file from a different backup and everything worked.

Just a thought...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Knuckle Dragger:
I'm trying to root with this method but I can never get the mofoverify_gui.bat file to detect my phone. No matter what I do, it always says "No devices found. Device must be in fastboot mode."

I have tried uninstalling and installing all drivers, rebooting windows 7, and restarting the bootloader. I have enabled USB debugging and when in fastboot mode, the phone says "Transfer Mode: USB Connected". I have Android 4.4.4 and System version 21.44.12. I can access and control the phone through ADB.

I've rooted a Galaxy Nexus before and don't remember having this much trouble accessing the phone. Is there something I'm missing with Motorola or the mofoverify GUI?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kitcostantino:
which driver are you using? (moto one from rootjunky.com/downloads works great) also, are you using a usb 3.0 port? Usb hub? (trying to help, bc it has to be something simple). is MTP mode selected? (with the phone on, plugged up, what 'Usb Connection' mode is selected?) As far as Mofo goes, you did extract the files first, right? have you tried right clicking amd 'Run as Administrator?'
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Knuckle Dragger:
I am using rootjunky's drivers on a USB 2.0 port. I have a 3.0 port I can try tonight.

I'll check which USB mode is selected when I get home tonight.

I did extract the files first but I didn't run as administrator. I'll try that tonight too.

Thanks! You're right, it's probably something simple I'm glossing over.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beckerfj:
I had the same problem you did and I was trying to run it through a virtual machine. This was the cause of my problem. Once I try everything on the actual machine (no VM), it worked perfectly.

I know you didn't say you were using a VM, I just didn't want to assume...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] motcher41:
Nexus vs Just about any other phone is the issue. Nexus phones are simple to root. Many if not most of all non nexus phones have security in place to not allow that.

That is why this is much more difficult to do vs your old GNex.

Also your Moto doesn't use normal fastboot like the gnex did. Uses a moto made fastboot but it will not do you any good. You can't use it like you did on your gnex. I would stop and do some research on how locked down the Turbo is and you'll see what I mean. The way it seems your treating it like your Gnex you are heading toward a path of issues if you randomly try gnex things with it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Knuckle Dragger:

When I try to copy the location of the img file into mofo, my mouse changes to the "unavailable" pointer, thus not letting me copy it into mofo. I have tried manually entering the location of the img file only to get the "error: unrecognized argument" message. Please someone help?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beckerfj:
A few questions: What OS? What img file and the name (including extension)? Have you tried another img file? What's the exact command you are typing in?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rew400:
OS: Windows 10 (note: worked before on the current build). I've tried just about all of the images, and the command Im typing is "mofo.exe flash D:\Second HDD Stuff\MOFO\mofo\windows\*.img" (*=name of img file)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Coronado is dead:
Try placing the .img file in your ...mofo/windows/ folder and just using "mofo.exe flash *.img." That's how I have been flashing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maiko1:
Make sure you quote the path to the file, because it contains spaces:

mofo.exe flash "D:\Second HDD Stuff\MOFO\mofo\windows\*.img"
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rew400:

I typed in just like in the video: mofo.exe flash then try to drag and drop the file and it just won't stick..I not good when it comes to command prompt
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] KnightSky96:
There are spaces in the path which is fine but you'll have to use quotes. When dragging and dropping files into command prompt you'll notice that quotes are missing from the path provided. These are quotes: " " the double lines that would be on both sides of the path of the file, this is required in your case because there is a space in the path or the file name. You can add quotes by manuevering within the command prompt using arrow keys to move the cursor to the beginning of the path and the end of the path. Once quotes have been added the file should be located correctly and mofo root should work.

Allow mofo to finish its process as the command prompt says by leaving the window up and keeping the data cable connected. Once the tranfer has finished with 100 percent the command prompt will tell you to hit the power putton on your phone in effect starting the phone back to general operation.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] roman.ramirez.12:
First I would like to thank you for dumbing down the the explanation I really appreciate it. It will be crazy and that's all I need to do especially after how long I stay in front of the computer not getting it to work , but I am excited to try this when I get home. Hope this works thanks again

How does one make an "img" file - is this like a nandroid?

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

How do you do that?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Coronado is dead:
So once booted, apps that have root can still not modify the files in system because it is still protected. For instance, we cannot use root browser to remove system apps, correct?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maiko1:
The img file is just a dump of an ext4 file system. Mount it and make the changes you want.

Yes, you can remove system apps, but why bother when you can just freeze/disable them? You are not gaining anything by removing the system apps.

Once booted you can not make any changes to the system partition. So no, you can not remove system apps while it's booted. It must be done in the image before flashing it.

I'm a bit confused about the terminology thrown around here about what this allows us to do. Will I be able to use titanium backup, install xposed and my chosen modules, get adaway, etc with this?

Sounds like applications won't be able to get root access and write anything to the system partition unless I put them there in the image that I flash. Sounds like a lot of work to do every time I want to install a new xposed module. Or am I missing something here?

Hey [MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION], does this purchase apply to only this specific root? For example, when Lollipop comes out, if you come up with a root for that, do people who buy it now get that as well or will that be a separate purchase?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Coronado is dead:
Since you are in windows, use mofo.exe flash *.img instead of mofo flash *.img.

Also, since you put the file in the mofo directory, don't use any "".

Furthermore, when they told you to use quotes, they meant just around the image name, not the whole command. So:

mofo.exe flash " c:\*.img"

is what they meant, NOT

"mofo.exe flash c:\*.img"

But you don't need any "" since it's in the same directory.

Double check the filename. I noticed you put 247 when the file is 274 after Computerfreek. There might be more but this one definitely stood out to me.
