I really think we should get the OP to make a lot of edits to his post to avoid all these stupid ****posts. Please correct me if I am wrong:

1) This is NOT a temp root. People who use that phrase shouldnt be on xda

2) This is NOT crippled root as some people here have said. If you think that, you clearly dont understand enough to safely use this tool

3) This allows you to flash a system image but has write protection which in simple english means you CANNOT modify it live on the device but you CAN modify it before you flash. Ergo, it seems you can include and remove apps (bloat, root it, put xposed in the img, perhaps even run custom roms. I am not sure how that will work, but it seems we have a poor mans boot loader unlock.

Mods should really clean up this thread.

P.S this guy burned a 0 day exploit on you turds and you STILL complain!? 20 dollars is chump change for most of you, and burning a 0 day is a pretty big deal. No wonder most devs hate xda. Keep being cancer, and you will drive away all the talent. I wish the mods were much stricter with post requirements and the ban hammer. I mean jeez, its like a bunch of 13 year old children in here.

Have you tried rebooting, and ensuring that the PATH statement is pointing to the proper Python? Just a guess, based on others that have stopped at 7%.

That is... rebooting your workstation (desktop, laptop, PC, Mac, Linux, etc), in addition to your phone.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Coronado is dead:
According to the creator, no. So lets try and curtail ALL of the "stupid ****posts." ;)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dmginc:
I agree with you, but all this should have been stated in the OP to avoid any confusion.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 123421342:
OP said you can modify the entire system img, so seemingly you can include modifications of the system parts no? If you modify one part, I don't see why you can't modify the entire thing.

Will Titainum Backup work with this root? And what about any other app that requires root?

I have tethering that is worth the $20 to me

Note: This did not live after reboot, But still better than nothing!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Artnig:
Yup I've tried rebooting the bootloader as well as my computer, also I tried different usb cables so I cant seem to figure out the problem lol
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ProfessorStein:
Pretty sure... as I believe TB writes all it's data to the user partition, so doesn't need to write anything on the fly to system.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 123421342:
If you want to remove system apps it wont work unless you remove them from the image before you flash it

Just spit balling here, but you may be able to install BusyBox into the img and a terminal emulator... and then just make a script that runs on boot?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] XF1ber:
I am no That cool, I am scripting it in tasker now...
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badger85:
I'm also getting the no progress bar. It just says flashing and then nothing happens. I tried running it as administrator, but to no avail.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Artnig:
Is yours quitting out at any particular percentage?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badger85:
No, it just says flashing and then it doesn't do anything. It's not frozen or anything, it will let me enter the command again but nothing happens.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Artnig:
That's whats happening here expect at 7% each time I try.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SSBMMASTER:
Yeah I have the same issue, no progress bar at all.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Rew400:
The issue I'm having is in the YouTube video the flashed image is >3 GB, whereas when I go to download it's 1.39 GB. I went ahead and downloaded said image and when I went to flash it mofo stated that it was an invalid ext4 file. I made the mistake of typing YES in my eagerness to obtain root, that I have bricked my device... it fully completed the flash (100% it stated) so my question is did I screw up my device permanently?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maiko1:
You must extract it first. The file from the site is a 7 zip archive. Extract it and flash it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MoPhoMike:
1.39Gb is the compressed size. Once you download and unzip using 7 zip, you will then see that the file is actually 3.3Gb.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] computerfreek274:
Flashed fine for me It did stop at 98% but phone booted fine and root is working. seems to be fine.

I can not get tether hotspot working I am an unlimited user on Verizon so no free tether for me just yet I am testing other apps and ways. I just hope now that we have this root maybe someone can make a IMG with tether very soon. Just need to remove the Verizon hotspot check. If anyone has any tips on wifi tether please try and post your info in here or under the tether forum.

by the way thank you for ROOT it may not be what some are looking for and I was happy to pay $20 to keep the hope alive and I know others will make imgs and more. I also see if you run "mofo.exe unlock" you get not yet! just seems like there is hope there. So just pay the $20 even if you do not use it right now and support the work that is being done.

Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Flowah:
Hey maiko, so if we buy this and you happen to come out for a root for lollipop (if you do) do current purchasers get that root as well or would you charge again?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] MoPhoMike:
RSD UP to 21.44.12 from 21.21.15?

[MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION]: Can you RSD to the 21.44.12 Sys version prior to flashing the image?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SSBMMASTER:
Try rebooting you PC, it fixed it for me
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JakeDHS07:
Ok guys. I am gonna throw you all a bone here. Cause I'm nice like that. I haven't been able to figure out the bootloader but I have gained write protection off already.

Heres the process I used

go to play store and download an app called BusyBox install (No Root) and install it and install BusyBox

If you don't already go and download Android Terminal Emulator from the play store

Now after you install emulator open and enter su

Accept the superuser prompt

now go back to the busybox app and copy the link it gives you and enter in emulator by pasting and hit enter

exit out of emulator

reopen emulator and ensure su is enabled by looking for the $

enter the following command busybox mount -o rw,remount system

Wait a minute or so

Reboot and profit!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] X_man.:
ROOTED! :D Thank you sooo much for all your hard work! I saw where a few people on YouTube were complaining about the $20. I for one was way more than happy to pay it. Your work was worth every penny. Thanks again.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Flowah:
Permanent I'm guessing?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] danger2u:
messing up with system file is not for everyone.

we will see a lot of Turbo bricked here

and with locked bootloader ,will remain brick for a while

so please be aware and don t try to experiment too much
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] wadamean:
For those that bought the root method and want write protection off then here is a potential method.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mattlgroff:
You think the exploit dev hasn't tried remounting /system as RW? I mean, if it works that's great, but I'd wonder why they haven't said this already.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Razorbacktrack5535:
[MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION] how can I use it in Italy?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JakeDHS07:
I'm not sure if they tried it or not but it gave me the ability to run Adaway where before that I couldn't. Didn't last though. It went away after awhile. Strange.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] r3pwn:
Yeah, I as well am having a hard time believing that just a simple rw mount actually works to disable write protection, especially since most root apps use it anyways.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Artnig:
I've tried basically everything and still can't get past 7%, hate being the only one that can't get it working
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] badger85:
Tried that, no luck. Think I might just try another pc to see if that will work.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Artnig:
Please let me know if this helps, I don't have access to another pc right now
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JakeDHS07:
There's system mounted as RW. With my method it worked ONCE after reboot. Then the system was locked again. Very annoying.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jwort93:
When I tried the last command it said: "mount: can't find system in /proc/mounts"
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] JakeDHS07:
Ok somebody is gonna have to look into this further. I was only able to have write protection off TEMPORARILY. It let me update the hosts once with Adaway and then when I went back later it failed. Also BusyBox is now gone. I was able to repeat my steps and get it to update again. APPARENTLY the write protection is somehow disabled for ONE command or usage and then it reenables itself. VERY ANNOYING
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BEDickey:
I am getting repeated errors when i try to pay/download the program, it says "unauthorized" or something similar. This last time was after I had put in my paypal info and hit the buy button. I will check to see if the charge went through, but what could be causing this?

So I just verified, the payment has gone through, but it will not let me download the MOFO program. Where do we go from here?

How do I make a system image of my OG Moto X that is rooted and bootloader is unlocked?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] cyrushehe:
I really have no need for root unless I can write the system. :\ I'm not on an unlimited plan or anything, but once it has that I will purchase. :)

PM your verification link please. Disable the 'parse links' option.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Slartibartfast_:
If I need to build and flash a new image every time I need to do something as simple as update AdAway, It's a crippled root. I'm not complaining but I don't think it's what many of us expected when we wanted root.

And with all my appreciation for OP and the team that helped put this together, a FAQ and a written step by step guide would have eliminated many of these questions. People are asking because it's really not clear what can and what cannot be done in this method, and you say that yourself.

As for the people complaining about having to pay for that, well, tough life. Most people spend more on a case or screen protector for their phone... Devs deserve compensation for the time and money they put into this. Don't like it? Buy an unlocked phone or stay unrooted.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] xbxjunkie:
i'll stick with my actual rooted and s-off M8 and put my turbo back in the box. sunshine was worth the 25.00 and gave us exactly what we wanted.

sorry
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pilot25:
I'm surprised you guys are jumping into this. The whole thing sounds very fishy and isn't true root.

You are paying for one thing and expecting root. You aren't getting what you expect.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] mrbig012:
Hey [MENTION=5697730]maiko1[/MENTION] I purchased this to be able to use xposed, adaway, etc. I cannot. There are many who probably feel like I do and are wondering if a refund is a possibility because all this root exploit has done for me is pass a root checker test.

Does greenify work? TitaniumBackup does not. Nor does six axis controller (for blue tooth pairing of a ps3 controller. I've been almost 5 months without mega man! ;p )
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maiko1:
For those getting stuck at 7% or with no progress bar, please read update to the first post:

Make sure you only have one set of drivers installed. Remove any google drivers, adb drivers, etc. One set installed only. Reboot after removal and installation of new drivers.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] jfriend33:
Hope to hear more good news in the next few days. I will straight up buy a mint droid turbo and moto 360 from swappa if things like greenify, tether, and xposed work. I'm concerned with one thing, I am wondering if the phone will stay rooted on 5.1?

Isn't the droid turbo still on kitkat?

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] SBC44:
This may have already been suggested and if so I apologize, but make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port and not 3.0 if possible. I have seen that mentioned in the past but never had an issue with it until trying to flash this image.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] computerfreek274:
You know all you guys who are *****ing asking for a refund if you watched the video rootjunky tells you that system is RO. So if you think you need a refund after you where told watch the video them PM him for a refund and don't post all over here crying over 20 bucks please the dev worked hard for what it is and soon we will have custom IMG's. so back off and let him work. here and help others that need to get this installed tonight.

Also if you fell a need to respond to this post please do not PM me.

Sorry for the rant but someone needed to stop this forum from blowing up with cry babies.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Artnig:
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately my computer only has usb2.0 ports, so this can't be the problem :(
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] pyro6128:
Seriously, with all the complaining going on, and people wonder why devs aren't bothering to waste their time looking for exploits for these devices.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] joderme:
Awesome to see this, however, I really hope there is a way to achieve this once Lollipop drops. I would imagine it will happen within a month or two.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 123421342:
OP can you PLEASE update the first post with actual information and a FAQ. People are confused and nothing is being made clear
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Artnig:
I'm sorry, just very tired at this point and have been trying for hours. But I literally managed to just get it working as I was typing this post!!! I had to uninstall and reinstall python roughly 20 times for it to finally work. I'm at 12% now and really hope it goes smoothly!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ceelos218:
ohhh man.. i will wait till theres actual write protection off.. theres really no point to this for the average user. hopefully a regular root method comes along. but thanks for the effort.

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] brennam7:

I think in the next couple days there will be a lot more prepackaged system images available. This is all very new to people right now and everyone is experimenting with apps and scripts right now. Wait a couple days and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

If you want to charge ... I have no problem paying up more. . what causes me no grace is knowing which programs work and live with img ... too much to ask for ?? faq
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ceelos218:
thats what im thinking... im happy as far as development going on as it is. we even have night builds of cm :) just have patience people and continue to support your devs.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dBradghost:
I'm not really sure what people are complaining about. I can't get xposed to work but I can use CPU Tuner and adblock. The Turbo now has an even better battery life and no observable loss in performance. Aside from xposed this works pretty well. I mean even if you didn't get what you want out of it you are supporting your developer, who btw is the first person to have rooted a droid turbo, and whenever a better system img comes out you already have the software and knowledge on how to do it. Things are only going up from here.

Someone got xposed to work. I think they got through the write protection
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] 123421342:
No they didn't. You can use xposed by installing it and doing a SOFT reboot. Same thing happened with PIE root for the moto g on vzw
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] thatoneguy2:
First off, this is awesome. Stepping forward at last. Great work!

Second, I am by no means cheap and I support developers.. Im just holding out until full root pops up. With that being said, my little rant..

I can't see myself spending 20 bucks for something that won't give me full access, what I want. I want to be able to flash Roms and sht and have the fear of bricking (hard or soft-thats what she said) my Turbo as I've done with previous motos and my G2 (thankfully all soft) The actual root, sure charge us for it, but not something that just gets our toes wet..just a tease. Once I can have the fear of a $600 paper weight, lll pay. Till that time, thanks again for the hard work and sticking it to the man!

Let me preface this by saying, I've searched the forums. There are topics on this for other phones, but I didn't see one for the Galaxy Note 4. I'm thinking settings are different on each phone, and to an extent, each carrier as well.

Also, I have the NEXT launcher installed on my phone, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Basically, when using my phone, my phone will go dim at 5%, like others have reported on other phones. It has nothing to do with power saving mode, because that's off. I've checked. Is there a way I can prevent screen dimming at 5%?
