[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ekkoria:
There's certainly a chance of it working but you would really have no idea how well it worked until you flash it. It could be stable, unstable, or bootloop. The worst case scenario is probably a full reflash, but if you're going to attempt such a thing, it would be a good idea to backup everything you have.

However if you use dd in combination with root you have a chance to brick the whole device if you mess up the partitions.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
a reflash is no big deal. even if i did lose data.

that latter part was pretty much my concern. it is possible to muddy the partitions. it may be a worthwhile risk. idk. i honestly figure if it were that simple far more experienced people than myself would have figured it out already. Thank you!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] crashcarstar:
Is there anything different about the process for the Lollipop images? I'm having a hard time getting any of my changes to work correctly - specifically changing the emoji font and adding my own root apps. The emojis just show boxes with Xs in them. Root apps go in /system/app correct? Do they need to go into their own folder in /app?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GeoFX:
Curious about this too. It's not a simple "drop the .apk into /system/app" in VirtualBox > save a new IMG > reflash. I've tried it and the application won't install. Comparing to other apps in the folder there's an .odex file that needs to be created.

Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
if your dev isnt rooted could you use this method to flash a rooted img onto the phone giving you root access?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
literally, this is the only way *to* root the Turbo. in the Droid Turbo Android development section there are pre-rooted tweaked imgs. mofo.exe flashes them. but yes, exactly, with the exception of system write protection being on. you cannot make changes at runtime as you can on a device with traditional root access. guys like [MENTION=2331521]computerfreek[/MENTION] have poured hours into imgs.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Well I'm trying to get root now I'm a lil confused probably BC I'm tired lol but could I use this method to achieve rooting
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
in all honesty, yes, this will net you root. there are limitations, though. you can only have root features that do not require /system access (ad block, pon3/viper audio mods, xposed, etc) if they are put in the image you flash. root apps like Titanium Backup work (although you cannot permanently remove bloat if its there as it will come back on reboot). it has been better than no root for sure, but I am still eyeing therootninja daily. most likely, one will have to have mofo for Sunshine to work, but [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] and [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] are still working on making it happen for us. (it being bl unlock). I'm secretly hoping the stagefright patches get pushed and then there is a mass bootloader unlock frenzy that includes the new Turbo also. highly doubtful, though, crazier things have happened.

http://theroot.ninja/
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Ok so what your saying is even tho I'm on 5.1 OTA I can use this to achieve root correct?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ntxct:
No, as of right now, if you are running 5.1 there is no way to get root. You cannot go back to 4.4.4 where the only exploit (with working guide and numerous users reporting it as the path to take) is to use Mofo from 4.4.4 to upgrade to a modified 5.1.

If there was a way to get root on stock 5.1 there was be a big thread and guide on how to achieve that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Thanks that's what I was trying to clear up sorry I've been busy lately late nights lots of coffee not enough sleep trying to find out why we can't root this fabulous piece of hardware and its not easy
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
We can't root it because of Qualcomm and Motorola's joint efforts to prevent such. If you would like to learn more, here are a couple of nods in the right direction: http://blog.azimuthsecurity.com/2013/04/unlocking-motorola-bootloader.html

(That is old and no longer works on current models past 4.4.3, but is an excellent reference point) also:

http://newandroidbook.com/index.php

Security is a free download, and again is enlightening as far as boot chain, aboot, and a possible exploit are concerned. Unfortunately, it is beyond my skill level, but reading it, it appears aboot is malleable, which may allow *someone* more talented than myself to get past it. Again, security is not my forte, so I could be misinterpreting this part.

Also, I imagine if it were that simple dudes like [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] and [MENTION=711482]beaups[/MENTION] would already have this: http://theroot.ninja/ working on the turbo. Unless they are waiting for all of the stagefright patches to go out. Wishful thinking, I'm sure. This phone's community kind of pissed off devs early on, so much of the talent redirected itself elsewhere. Anytime someone thought they had a means, they were crucified immediately then had to backpedal and prove it. Case and point, no one believed [MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION] had a successful root until jcase confirmed he knew dude somewhat and confirmed [mofo] worked.

Ultimately, though, there hasn't been much motivation for anyone capable to spend the hours and hours or bricked devices needed to net us bootloader unlock. I am glad we at least have Mofo. I also am glad I didn't update to 5.1. Thanks to all tagged because if it were not for you, there would be zero hope.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Ok do you know anything about extracting boot.imgs etc and if so if I do that will my phone still have everything on it because I'm very familiar with Linux and I maybe able to push root through by changing a few things through and also one thing about root not being doable is partly SELinux in this kernel 3.10.40 if I remember right is 5.1s kernel and that was developed by redhat so there's fun with that too
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
you could push another boot.img. I would certainly have the correct one handy for if the new one didn't work out, but it shouldn't kill your data. ultimately, though, before doing such things I would just back up everything. I can tell you, for sure, flashing the engineering builds aboot had no ill effects. it also gave no change. (the prototype, or engineering build is bootloader unlockable. using its aboot did not change that. there are many, far better prepared to answer that question people on here. personally, I don't think anything bad would happen. it may not boot until you flash the correct one again, but ultimately, it is an isolated partition that is in the checks, so I kinda doubt it would still work right. it is worth a shot.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Ok the only thing I was worried about was say my phone not booting into the original img while I worked on it an sadly thanks to Verizon the bootloader is locked but as long as I keep the ROM the same I should be OK probably push it through via adb the only goal is root acsess here really
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
[MENTION=3836686]kitcostantino[/MENTION] Do you know where i can download a copy of my OTA update instead of trying to extract it OTA is 5.1 (obviously BC i dont have root xD) theres some of the info i cant seem to find a copy of it if you need more info let me know

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
by no means do I think anyone would make something negative out of that. its obvious you are just trying out what you can do. the spirit of the Turbo community kind of killed off people spending their time on it. thank you, no matter what happens. time is quite valuable. I hope it happens.

Is anyone able to modify firstEncounter's latest image (SU4TL-44) using this method? Whenever I try to delete something, I get an error that access is denied, and suddenly all the files in the image show up as locked. When I try to remount the image as rw, I get an error that the image is write protected. I can edit images based on SU3TL-39 just fine. Not good. Is this a problem on my end, or is there something new in this image that was put there to make our lives miserable?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
I'll look into it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
False alarm. Looks like I got a bad download. I re downloaded the image, verified the SHA1 sum to be correct, and now I can easily edit the image just like any other Turbo image.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama:
Hey gang,

I have bricked an LG G2 and G3 in the last two weeks by inadvertently flashing the wrong variant through Aroma. I used Cloudy's rom on the G2 and when you went to flash it just automatically let you select inside the Aroma before flashing. These other two did not (although they did say they supported multiple variants Chupa Chup was one of them) and I kept thinking it would and then (like a complete noob) went ahead and flashed some other who knows what on the device and bricked them so bad the wouldn't even power on, go into DL mode, just DEAD. :(

Am I missing something? Does the Aroma installer UI depend on the Developer? I have my replacement G3 on the way and really want to prevent another bricked phone. It's getting kind of ridiculous. :eek:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChosenZero:
Hey Guys,

I tried doing the CF auto root thing after I got this phone and now my recovery doesn't do anything. So i reflashed stock then OEM Locked.

Well now for the recovery i just see an android guy with his antennas moving and the blue thing spinning on his belly and the ROM wont boot and I can't do anything.

Can anyone help me?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
Don't think so. What instructions told you to OEM lock your phone before you made sure it was working?

Sent from my Google N6 on VZ
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gage_Hero:
Did you try holding power and tap volume up? that should get you to recovery... if that works... you might want to consider flashing twrp so you can atleast do a backup... rooting without a backup is a bad idea in my books.. if you mess up you cant go back only reflash and hope for the best...

Did you reboot between flashing and oem relock? some have bricked doing that....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnubian:
Not sure what making a backup would do at this point, or how he could install twrp with stock unrooted and bootloader locked.

I can't think of any options with no USB debugging enabled and without factory unlock checked.

There are no options.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
I've had an S3 for about 1.5 years now, and an S2 before that. I was really contemplating getting something other than a Samsung now, but nothing really sparks my interest for the price. I have CM12 installed on my S3 right now and it works pretty good.

I was wondering for those of you who upgraded from an S3, is the experience pretty much the same, or is the device much faster? Lag wise on a custom ROM? I know that CM12 on the S5 right now has problems with MMS, and low volume on video recording, which will hopefully be fixed soon...

What I want to know is: for those of you who upgraded from an S3, how would you compare it? Is it worth the upgrade (using a custom ROM, not TouchWiz), and if so, why? I'm worried that I'll get an S5, install CM12, and it'll be exactly the same (obviously there's minor differences between all Samsung devices, but still). I was hoping it would have less lag and just be snappier all around. That, plus the bigger battery, bigger screen, and better camera.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sp3d00:
I did this update to S5 some month ago.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master619:
I recently bought a 900T (T-Mobile S5) and I have used the S3 a lot at work so here's my experience: the device runs much faster, the screen is bigger, more detailed (1080p vs S3's 720p) and looks greater. Camera is a definite upgrade, quality is superb. Other areas feel the same. Battery life depends but I feel like the S3's endurance lasts longer.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
Thanks for the input guys. Master619 are you running a custom ROM on your S5?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master619:
No I'm on stock 5.0 (G900TUVU1DOB1) and not rooted (pretty much vanilla).

// Edit: note that I'm using some background utilities (screen on by proximity, swipe for home button,...) so they can affect battery life as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] me_mod:
So under the "Devices and Acitivty" section of my Google account it shows that a Galaxy Nexus is syncing with chrome. The funny thing is that I don't have a Galaxy Nexus nor do any of my friends. After I changed my google password, it is still syncing which is weird because all my other devices were logged off and there is no way anybody could have guessed my password. As you can see in the screenshot, I don't have the option to remove account access from this Galaxy Nexus unlike my Nexus 5. I have also checked the "dashboard" and "account permissions" and "android device management" sections and this Galaxy Nexus isn't listed under any of them.

I have already posted to google product forums, but no one has a solution.

If anyone knows how I can prevent this phone from accessing my google account, I would be very appreciative.

[Off-topic] Note4Nerd:
I'm writing a paper on the use of apps for my college course. Basically, I'm wanting to know what the main reason is for the development of apps from a developer's point of view. Is it money, making something useful, or pure entertainment in developing? Also, if you're not a developer how many apps do you have and how many do you actually use/find useful? If I could get some people to chime in and share their experiences and opinions it'd be greatly appreciated!
[Off-topic] Jesse72:
Non developer.

I mostly use (in order):

Tapatalk (car and IT forums)

Cortana (Windows Phone digital assistant)

Browsers (data compression, normal, tor)

Games (allsorted)
[Off-topic] Note4Nerd:
Jesse, first of all thanks for the reply! It seems as if all your apps have an actually use for you. Have you ever paid for any of your apps and if so was it worth the money?
[Off-topic] |>/\nte:
Not a developer, but I mostly use browsers and I also use ppsspp for my gaming needs. I find it fun to experiment with an Android device, because that way you get to explore your device's full potential. And since android is highly customisable, the possibilities are endless.
[Off-topic] Note4Nerd:
Thanks for the reply! It's interesting that you guys both brought up that you use multiple browsers. Is there a reason for this? In Jesse's case I can see how you would need a separate browser for tor to access .onion sites but personally I just use the stock browser and in the very rare occasion will I open up Google chrome. Could you tell me a bit more about ppsspp? I have my note 4 rooted and running custom ROM so the customization is great I completely agree. Android is awesome!
[Off-topic] Jesse72:
I do have other apps too, I just don't use them as regularly. Some of these are different launchers, lock screen customizers, and apps like tasker, as well as some one click root apps I'm trying. (if you can help me root my MT6572 please help here

Spoiler content hidden.

)

All the apps I originally listed I never paid for except for GTA SA(not pirated, but I have some originally free games that are cracked)

On this post, I have paid for tasker, nova launcher prime and my locker pro. That was mostly because I had a free $20 google play voucher with my phone.
[Off-topic] |>/\nte:
As for browsers, I use google chrome on my xperia sp (I might get rid of it when I root it though), whereas on my xperia t I mostly use the stock sony browser. Now, as for the ppsspp, it's actually a psp emulator. In other words, it allows you to run psp games (in .iso format) in your android phone. I think it's one of the best apps on the play store, since I don't like most native android games like temple run, minions and such. Since you have a note 4, which is a very powerful device, I highly recommend you to check it out.
[Off-topic] Im Saint:
This one IS coming from a developer.

Oftentimes, when I make an app, I saw a hole and I wanted to fill it. The most recent app spawned itself from the Droid Turbo not being rooted until now(finally).

People heard there was a root method so they were waiting on a hair trigger's notice to find out if it had been released. So I took it upon myself to let people know when it happened, where to get more info, and when it was released, how to get it for themselves. It spawned over 400 unique downloads on 15 different devices with an aggregate rating of 4.82.

I also like to improve on apps that I've already seen. If I feel something is drastically missing, I like to look at what they have and ask what I can do better with that.. then add what's missing.

Another example is an app I created that is made for creative commons photo sharing. So for example, when someone needs a picture for their design project, then they can simply open the app, search the word, and download. I came up with it for my senior project and we branded the whole thing, but it never went anywhere because it was unrefined.

In contrast to that reason, I often make apps because I'm testing something and it snowballs. I have a bunch of different "app pieces" in a handful of languages sitting around on my computer.

To summarize, I make apps because:

1. There's a hole and I'm going to fill it.

2. I want to improve what I see.

3. I'm simply passionate about it.

Hope that helps!
