Okay , but no one cares is my point. Like the mods said, this is the paid apps section so if you don't want to pay for it, don't, but don't pollute the thread with your complaints. If you think "the most basic services that people root their phone for don't work" then you obviously do not understand what this tool lets you do and should not use it. OR, you can ask how it works and what it can do. Root should not be a simple thing so every 13 year old can be 1377. If you want something like root, you should be able to understand basic concepts like partitions, file systems, etc. People on XDA keep complaining that they are not spoon fed, jeez. Again, you clearly do not understand what moforoot does.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bill0405:
Obviously you didn't understand my last post so I'm going to say it again in simpler terms. Try not to get so easilly offended this time. Lots of people would pay for a root that is simple and works easilly. This one's not so they will wait until a simpler one comes out.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] yvmexcl:
too much to ask a FAQ of programs that do not work or work but detailing directly or by img. I would do it but my English is very bad
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] s_u_n:
Excellent work!

This is terrific stuff.

Kudos to the OP and his team.

I agree that the 'customer service' part could have been planned a bit better, but we all learn and grow with experience. :)

With time, we will see more and more value out of this tool.

To OP: Please continue your good work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Coronado is dead:
To be fair, the title of this very topic includes 'Root your Turbo.'. Most people have specific expectations for what root provides, and this does not allow a lot of that.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 123421342:
Yes it does, just without write protect removed. You can still modify the system image offline and add anything you want. People (cancer) are coming here with expectations based on misunderstandings and lack of knowledge. "Root" just means having the su binary in the system partition so you can execute it and escalate privileges. Don't blame the dev that phone manufacturers started using WP recently.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Coronado is dead:
I don't blame the dev at all. But because of WP this root method does not allow most of what a lot of casual users use root for (at least right now until people actually find ways to bake in Xposed, modules, etc).

So yes, people don't understand what it can do and don't see the value in paying $20 for a tool that won't allow them to do what they want to. do. But telling them not to talk about it isn't the answer either; because if they don't, more and more people will just grab it and have it not do what they want.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cerice74:
So the mofo batch file ran but then stopped at 75% and gave me a command line after the 75% but super su installed and greenify recognized root. I haven't restarted my phone since I ran mofo but was wondering if anyone else has the same experience and if I should just let it be since everything is working so far lol thanks in advance!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Eclipse00:
Seeing as this thread is 1\2 questions about what root actually is, and the implications behind paying for root.

Personally, I don't fundamentally think it's wrong to charge for root, despite it being historically developed and distributed for free. That being said, one of the things that has made the android dev community amazing is its dedication to opening the abilities of software and hardware for everyone. This core concept of community development and participation is what has helped shape sites like XDA. Once we start the trend of putting a price tag on it, it starts to get a bit apple smelling in here.

For myself, root by itself, not an unlocked bootloader, on a device that’s about to get an OS upgrade is not worth 20$.That price tag is very broken and again sets a bad example. I REALLY DO empathize and sympathize with hard working devs wanting to get some funds back for their time, but the only 0 day exploit being used here is the price tag for this.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] the_rooter:
Dude you seriously have a sick attitude for what these developers have done. Stop with the darn bickering. We all got what we wanted and root is here. 20$ for root and maybe later on a bootloader unlock isnt that much to pay to say thanks. Knock off with your petty crying. If you dont want it dont comment and move on. Thanks [MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION] and team for this. sorry we have trashers that dont realize what this is.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pyro6128:
As someone with a second gen VZ Moto X without root, God some turbo owners are entitled brats. To the people complaining, if you're unable to understand the first post in this thread, and unable to understand what the mod just said about not complaining, you probably shouldn't be rooting. You're the reason the dev community on these phones are dwindling. These are the same people that don't read instructions and wonder why flashing an s4 image to their moto phone bricked it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
Thanks for this worthless post filled with your opinion that is worth exactly what I paid for it. ZERO!

LOL! Seriously, get off this thread if you don't think this exploit is worth your money. Shoo!

Keep it off topic, I'm enjoying the show. It was inevitable here on xda. And it doesn't cost 20 dollars, lol.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MasterDrusus:
Yeah, I'll keep my $20 and wait for a process that gives me actual access to the system after boot ... if that doesn't become available, not the end of the world but I get paid to work. Recreating a new system image, to install apps or update apps, is work, sorry I don't pay to work or waiting on "teased functionality" for the future. Yes, the "unlock" button on the site is a tease. Making you all spend your bucks hoping for it to get better someday. Cheers!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] the_rooter:
Times has changed. Devices are becoming harder and harder to exploit. And yes u did. . sad. Some people are not meant to root/customize. Also u have a droid maxx why u even commenting on the turbo root? just stirring the pot to piss more people off because of ur biased logic? This is a root exploit with possible other advantages.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] danger2u:
well,enjoy ur root.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] the_rooter:
u started the off topic by complaining. Back on topic has anyone tested the new image that one of our members released with tethering?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Munkee915:
Yes. Rebooted 3 times now. Each time both apps are still functioning perfectly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rgerrans:
So to add to my earlier note, I modified my image to include the adaway host files in my build (that works !!). When I went to flash in the new image I had three fails before it finally worked. The last time I went back to putting the cmd window in the foreground not doing anything else on my computer while it was flashing. I did confirm that I'm using my usb 2.0 port and not 3.0.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] _tek_:
Yes, it ALL sticks. I have it all baked right in to the IMG I'm flashing ;)

Edit: using xposed for the power menu and status bar mods. Everything works great after a full days use. I had initial problems under-clocking with ROM toolbox. It caused some unstable behavior. I have a busy rest of the week so I'm going to tinker more this weekend.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ahaynes42:
I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I'll put it out there. It changed my software status to modified in the bootloader. I wonder if we flash back stock with RSD lite if it will show as official again, for warranty purposes.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] savagebunny:
Man... I'd so root right now, but I wanna bake xposed, hosts, and de-bloat it myself. I read the turbo image tut. Why I couldn't write the files to the .img within Windows doesn't make sense to me. I know I'm over thinking it though
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] _tek_:
I use a Linux VM, mount the IMG as ext4 and make modifications to it directly. Just unmount and flash. Not much to it! Just had to download the xposed source to get the right files and I looked up a tutorial on the right file permissions. After a few flashes I had it working.

I also tried to update the su binary to get rid of that notification on boot, but alas it remains.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cenobite138:
Nice. Are you able to change things using xposed while booted and have them stick?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] savagebunny:
You use VMware or Virtualbox? I'm probably better off grabbing VB I bet
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] _tek_:
Sure can! All those screenshots were after reboots. After initial disappointment of everything resetting I made sure to test that first! :thumbup::D

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JakeDHS07:
Sign me up. I have the temp I found enabled but I'd much prefer this. Are you versed in looking into have the /system mount as RW at boot? I feel being able to edit the image there may be a way to edit in the image before flashing the system. That way once flashed the issues we are having will not exist.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xlightwaverx:
I just picked up a Turbo, migrating from the XT912.

So the kernel has Write Off enabled on boot? But you can successfully remount /system as RW via shell as root?

Seems like you should be able to edit the init script so that it mounts /system as RW at start up.

Is the MotoTurbo image that is used, just a pulled sys img with super su added, with no init script changes?

I would like to think that this has already been thought of and is NOT the case.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
As ive already mentioned,the write protection is enforced by aboot. You won't be fixing it with some init script.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xlightwaverx:
KEXEC a possibility?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
For what?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xlightwaverx:
To boot a kernel that doesn't have write protect enabled if we can't figure out how to disable write protect.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
Only 3 posts ago I said that the write protection happens in ABOOT. How will booting some secondary kernel solve that?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jgowell:
Can you tell me which IMG you are using for the wifi tethering/hotspot? And is it the Verizon hotspot built into the phone that you are accessing via unlimited data? Or a third party app? Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xlightwaverx:
Oh you said ABOOT, I thought you said ABU, the monkey. My bad. I guess based on your obviously apparent response is, that it wouldn't. I was just throwing out ideas, which I am now picking back up, and stumbling back out of this forum with, again. ;)

Worked like a charm. This method is a lot easier than the crackflashing days when it took at least an hour or so to flash and set up phone. With this method, it only takes 20 min to flash an image and no need to setup phone again. Perfect for me. ?

I'm not sure I understand the concept of the image download. There are different images that can be downloaded/flashed , much like different roms?

My last two phones were rooted, but, this new system is confusing me somewhat.
