Not sure which version, but I had downloaded this copy just yesterday so it should be new.

I was trying to flash a rooted lollipop image over. When I first ran into trouble was when trying to flash that image before prepping the phone by flashing in the necessary images to get it ready for lollipop - went straight from kitkat to attempting a lollipop image. Obviously that didn't work. Went back, did all the proper steps (up to this point mofo had been working fine), and when I went to go and flash lollipop again mofo gave me the no valid purchases message.

Didn't modify anything else, I'm not particularly great with this sort of stuff so I don't go too deep into modifying things. Don't see how I could have messed up anything else. This isn't even the first time I've done it, this is me THIRD Turbo as the first one took a swim in a river, and the replacement for that obviously had previous water damage as it didn't work right. Finally got another replacement (straight from Motorola this time) and was attempting to get rooted lollipop when this all occurred.

While the flash to rooted lollipop didn't work, I did have the necessary files to get the stock verizon lollipop system files back in place so now I'm basically on a stock lollipop phone. Not sure if mofo will work now that that has happened, but oh well. I don't need root THAT bad.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kitcostantino:
indeed, you are right that mofo will no longer work. that sucks dude. at least your turbo works again. ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Joeywhat11:
I figured as much... Oh well, planning on upgrading anyways in January. Root isn't a huge deal, I only use it to remove bloatware for the most part.

Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will figure out how to root 5.1 soon.

It's my own fault it all happened anyways, I got impatient and skipped the prep for flashing to 5.1. This is the best solution anyways, still haven't heard back from the dev.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] NanoBotKemo:
Wish the rooting method wasn't gonna cost anything but I understand your trying to make a bit more
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yonnor:
Well I never got a reply from the Dev via email, but I got everything sorted out. Pretty much had to erase all trace of anything mofo related, re-downloaded and it managed to verify and spit me out a verification. Lol I should've just held off on Turbo #2 and bought the new Moto Pure.... fml.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kitcostantino:
honestly, I think the Turbo is going to be awesome once Sunshine comes out, so maybe its not such a bad thing. Mofo has made the Turbo tolerable for the last 6 months. Sunshine is coming according to jcase. you will likely need root, though, so Mofo is important too.

Can't run motoverify

I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro yesterday and not can't get Mofo to work. Here are my steps after upgrading:

1) installed oem USB drivers and Python - check

2) booted into bootloader - coonects - USB transfer mode - check

3) run motoverify_gui.bat script...all I get is a Version 0.3 output and back to the prompt...no link

4) tried to run mofo_gui.bat...no output..back to prompt

Played around with the fastboot oem help toggles but nothing seems to work. Any ideas what happened? It was working fine under Windows 10 Home yesterday and I was able to flash a new IMG.

Thanks! :(

Anyone else have this issue? Both Flash and Unlock give the same error, only thing that has changed since I last used mofo was updating to Windows 10.

was able to get it going by doing "mofo.exe flash ..." as the command

Cross posted from Droid Turbo Q&A, that may be the wrong spot since it's getting no action. Hopefully someone here can help:

I keep putting off the 5.1 OTA, so I want to mofo and flash soon before it's too late. But first:

In the past my flashing has always been based on good write-ups that people on XDA provide. I'm not really seeing a good comprehensive write-up for the Turbo, but I do see the Moto X noob guide by julesjam. Is this close enough? Is there something better?

Will the system write protection prevent me from restoring backups from TIBU? My plan is to manually back up everything, get mofo and dirty flash 4.4.4, then back up what I can with TIBU (mostly interested in MMS), then clean flash 4.4.4 or 5.1 and restore my TIBU data. Are there any pitfalls here?

Will I have a problem flashing a 5.1 img over a 4.4.4 img? I;m currently on 21.44.12 and the original Mofo thread states "Note that if you flash a system image it should be for the same version you are on. If you are on a Turbo version 21.44.12, you need to flash a system image designed for a Turbo 21.44.12. Mismatching versions may have unwanted side-effects."

Thanks for any help/input!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kitcostantino:
As far as the 5.1 update, don't do it unless you mean via a custom image like [MENTION=6076132]computerfreek274[/MENTION] 's or [MENTION=5901115]TheSt33v[/MENTION]E 's .

in computerfreeks TurboPop first posts, there is a detailed write up on how.

as far as system w/p on, titanium backup works unless it is a system app, and even some of those allow freeze and data restoration.

as far as the third question, it is covered well I'm compfreeks post.

good luck. you can pm me if ya need any more help and I don't see it here.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rlb81:
Yes I mean 5.1 by flashing, not OTA. Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at the post by compfreek.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Digital DJ:
Hey guys just to check real quick, I mistakenly took the 5.1 OTA, so I am NOT able to use mofo to root, correct?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] rlb81:
Correct

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jfriend33:
is it true that if I buy a new droid turbo with 4.4 installed I am ok for MOFO root? it is when it comes with 4.4.4 or 5.1 it doesnt work???

where can you buy new droid turbo's that arent updated? thanks for your time
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jbirdyRazr:
As long as you haven't taken the 5.1 OTA, then MOFO will work for you

help fastboot sees my turbo when i run fastboot devices but mofo says it can't find it how can i fix this?

EDIT: Apparently MOFO didn't like my on board USB 3.0 ports.... installed a USB 2.0 PCI Card i had laying around and mofo found my phone instantly!

[MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION] how badly will it hose things if i accidentally flash a system.img from another mofo enabled model?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maiko1:
Same rules of flashing any system image should apply. Must be same version for your current update level. Maybe some apps might break if they were loaded on one image and not the other. If stuff breaks you should be able to flash a new system image regardless.

Mofo in eu?

Mofo does not seem to be available outside the US. Does anyone know a way around that? Tried mailing them to the site's mail address but they have not answered
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mattlach:
Hey all, Few questions:

1.) I got a warranty replacement on my phone, and it came with 5.1 already installed. Am I SOL as far as mofo goes? Can I downgrade somehow to make it work? If no, are there any other root methods that will work with 5.1?

2.) I am not that fmailliar with what resides on the system partition and what doesn't. My primary reason for wanting to root is that Verizon removed the APN editor in the 5.1+ images, so I can't use a third party SIM when I travel abroad (very disingenuous of them to say they don't carrier lock their phones, when they don't allow the APN to be changed :mad: ) In order to add the APN editor back in, I gather I need to edit BuildProp. Does this reside on the system partition?

3.) If this is not possible, does anyone know any other ways I can edit APN's on the Turbo with 5.1?

Verizon's $40/month for 100minutes, 100 text messages and 100MB of international roaming data is wholly inadequate, especially since in Brazil (where I will be visiting) I can get a TIM SIM card for the equivalent of $6 per week that includes 1.5GB of data (per week!)

Much obliged,

Matt

Sunshine is confirmed to work with mofo root using firstencounter's Rooted 5.1 system image (v3).

It should work with any mofo rooted image without xposed, and running the latest update.

Supporting devs is one thing, paying $25 to unlock your phone is different.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
Right b/c it is much harder to find an exploit than it is to code an app. That wasn't always true but in the age of SELinux, it is. So the $25 is worth it.

If $25 isn't worth it to you, then live with your locked down phone and deal with it. Or buy a phone that allows you to unlock the bootloader like the Moto X Pure Edition. Or figure out how to find exploits on your own and invest the time to do it and code a tool that can allow others to do it with one click. And release it to all of us for free. Thanks!!!!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Yehudah:
Well look, it's not like the guy doing the dev work hasn't done it before. And I'm not bashing or in any way taking from what they do or are capable of. The fact is that these guys do this on other phones; how many other phones that a dev has developed a hack for asks for $25 each to get the hack? I"ve been rooting phones for years, and I've never had to pay for a hack. That doesn't mean I wouldn't pay for one.

In the age of free or $1 apps for phones, spending $25 for an "app" or hack is way out of the range of what most people are comfortable with. I'd pay $10, but $25 is too high - especially considering the sheer number of folks who want to root their Turbos world-wide. It's not like the dev is making a mint, but it's too high.

And as far as my personal Turbo goes; I've dealt with the inability to root the phone since I purchased it and the phone is amazing WITHOUT root. So the $25 isn't worth it to me, and living with my locked down phone isn't an issue. It's not whether I can afford to shell out the $25 or not, it's the principle: In my opinion, the dev that created this hack is being greedy because he knows that he has the only viable hack.

I'm happy that he's genius enough to figure it out and develop an app to root the phone. However, if you want folks on the fence post to commit, you'll need to come off your price. Potentially, he makes MUCH more $$ by coming off his high price.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
This has been covered several times in several different threads here. We priced SunShine based on what we feel it's worth, and the cost of time, devices, and software used to research and create it.

"Greedy" is an unfair insult, considering we publicly released the details of this vulnerability so others could learn. In fact, our team has released more free android hacks/roots and vulnerabilities than anyone.

If you feel $25 is too much, don't buy it. Or, better yet, create a cheaper or free app. We (and most others we get feedback from) feel the price is fair and have no plans to change it.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jeddy877:
Well that's a shame. There is $20 missed out on just with us two. I agree that $10 so I can bump up to Marshmallow would be a quick sell for me.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beaups:
I did a detailed writeup on the vulnerability I discovered to unlock the turbo. Read it, write your own unlock, and you can save all $25.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JulesJam:
Then they shouldn't buy it.

Then don't buy it. I think $300 for a Coach purse is too high so I don't buy them. I would really like one, but I am not willing to pay $300 for one so I do without.

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

I have Droid Turbo 2 and a Moto X Pure Edition My DT2 doesn't get used despite its awesome leather back and great battery life. I much prefer the user experience on my MXPE.

---------- Post added at 06:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 AM ----------

I think $300 is too much for a purse. Lots and lots and lots of women disagree with me. That isn't a matter of principle; it is simply a difference of opinion. Just like it is simply your opinion that a dev priced a piece of software too high. The fact of the matter is that plenty of people disagree with you so there is a market for Sunshine at the asking price.

And it doesn't make Coach greedy for selling $300 purses - clearly there is a market for $300 purses. Wanting something but not being willing or able to pay for it at the seller's asking price doesn't make the seller greedy, and you trying to spin it like that only makes you look bad.

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 AM ----------

If it were me, I would make a tiered pricing structure - $25 for less than a year old flagships, $15 for phones older than 1 year old and $10 for low-end phones like the Moto G. People who buy the latest and greatest flagships are usually willing to pay more because relative to the price of the phone, the cost to unlock is small. If you are willing to pay $744 for a 64GB leather backed Droid Turbo 2, $25 is less than 4% of the price of the device.

I would pay $25 in heartbeat to unlock my Droid Turbo 2. However, I would be less likely to pay $25 to unlock my Moto X 2014 now that it is more than 1 year old and may only have another year of useful life to me but I would pay $15. And I definitely wouldn't pay $25 to unlock my 1st Gen Moto G but I would pay $10.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] josuearisty:
I agree with you, you are completly right!!

$25 is too much for a moto x 2014, now imagine a a droid ultra, mini, maxx.

I would be fine paying $15 for my droid mini.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kitcostantino:
lol. honestly, i would gladly pay $25 for am ultra, maxx, or mini on 4.4.4. the reason some think it is a high price is the fact that they do not understand what goes into it.... its not only hours and hours of work, but craploads of bricked devices. not to mention, the Sunshine team [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION]) typically do not make a sizeable return, if any. the reality is people just think things should be handed to them, but dont bother to attempt to understand what goes into the unlocks. until we all learn about the qfuse system and trustzone as a group, there will still be people out there thinking it is just greedy. jcase and beaups dont need your money. these guys do unlocks for fun, and in my honest opinion, as an art form. if you dont want to pay, either pick a phone with dev support (mxpe, etc) or learn to unlock it yourself. its not hard to read up and figure out that this is no simple task. [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] and [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] thank you for the art!!

Take it easy boy! I dont want anything for free!

I really know how hard its to work in something difficult.

I have dont lots of thing in my short life and maybe in some moments I dont want everybody have it for free, sometimes I dont care.

Its really up to the person who does it.

I really want to pay, I have paid for lots of of apps, I have donated to projects in all aspects, not just apps developers or those create addons for kody (which has nothing to do with this).

What I want to say is that, when you buy a phone for $50 dollars, paying $25 you find it too much, more when you are living in a country which dollar isnt the main currency, well it doesnt come to the disccution.

I have lots things to say, but I will say now you are mostly right.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JakeDHS07:
So I'm curious [MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION] what is the nature of the unlock command mentioned in the MOFO gui? I tried running it and it said not yet. I'm wondering what that is hinting at. Also as many have stated this root is very crippled without write protection off. Is there any attempts being made to change that?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ntxct:
Reboot your system.

Prior to today I had python installed but didnt have the "add python.exe to PATH" checked. I reinstalled with that checked.

Then trying to root I hit the error you and I encountered.

After a system reboot, and going through the steps again, it started flashing.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] twinkyz1979:
I was merely saying that to point out to some people if they modified the system image they wouldn't have to worry about losing root because of some update but I guess I should have just came right out and said that.

I know you can freeze things but I am old school and just delete what I don't use.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jwort93:
I believe it does to modify the hosts file to block ads, which is on the system partition. You could simply modify the hosts file in the system image to block ads before flashing to achieve the same effect though.

So for something like that, you would mount the rooted image, make the edit, and flash the updated image to your Turbo.
