Uh oh. I followed the instructions and can't figure out what went wrong...

When I go to recovery, I get the flashing dead android, but then the menu commands (the power + vol-up) gets a yellow error message saying "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log" etc...

I can get into fastboot, but that's about it. If I try to boot normally, it's just the stock android bootanimation running infinitely.

I tried reflashing recovery at the boot loader (it says successful in Terminal) but it's still not working on the device.

Help!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
Try doing

fastboot format cache

and see if that fixes it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] ds728:
I get an error: "Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'." Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Edit: but, I was able to reflash recovery and enter recovery successfully... Not sure what went wrong the first 3 times. Currently wiping the cache and keeping my fingers crossed that it'll boot after this!

Edit2: It worked! I think my mistake might have been a directory mix-up on my behalf.

Thanks for putting this guide together.

Gravitybox compatibility

Is anyone using the Lollipop-compatible version of GravityBox with this image?

There's a big warning in the GravityBox install page:

and it looks like that's not the version of Xposed included in this [patched] image.

Figured I'd ask here if anyone had taken the leap and tried GB yet. Since we don't have system write access or the ability to use a custom recovery, we can't use the typical tricks to disable Xposed in case of a bootloop.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] Koneesha:
I'm using it, and it's working fine for me!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] pottyvick:
I am using gravitybox with this and its working great.

One question i do have, how do i disable the data icon or stop it from showing when connected to wifi?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] ds728:
thanks! and that's definitely the "LP" lollipop version, not the "KK" KitKat version?

Sorry, just making 100% sure... I spent 3 hours last night fixing a dead Turbo (user error) so I'm extra weary today.

I'm using the "AOSP Signal Icons" Xposed package, and that restores the default Lollipop icon set and hides the "4g" when on wifi.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] Koneesha:
haha. Yeah! I upgraded without wiping my data so i needed to get rid of the kk version first.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] activeservo:
Please help

I made sure fastboot recognized my device

I flashed all of the files

restarted bootloader

flashed computerfreeks 5.1 image

then by force of habit booted into recovery

now i have a flashing android which says "no command"

best i can do is get it to reboot with the Motorola logo and then its back to the flashing android.

If keep pressing volume up and power eventually It show a file directory type string in orange at the bottom like c.users/directory/etc and reboots.

Please help me get out of this and working!

EDIT: Found the answer on Computerfreaks forum.

If anyone else if having this problem hold down volume down and power and it boots to bootloader. Then you can press power for start to boot into rom.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] neozen21:
It's been mentioned many times, when you try to go to (lollipop) Recovery and get the Android "no command" icon, press and hold power for about 2-3 seconds, then press Vol Up and let go. You will get to Recovery then.

Once in Recovery, I try wiping just cache 1st, and if that doesn't work, then you'll have to wipe data & cache.

good luck!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] crashcarstar:
Have you had any luck replacing the defaults? I have tried doing it manually with the two different Apple sets and the Twitter emoji and have not gotten them to show up.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] fireman928:
I have flashed it all a couple times and each time everything runs fine except when I go to recovery. I get the dead Android with no command under him. I have read the post and tried the hold power then tap up. I even tried other configurations but nothing works. It don't go into recovery. I have done a factory reset and reflashed everything but to no avail.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] JakeDHS07:
That is recovery. Your just doing the button combination wrong somehow. Reflashing is unnecessary and isn't going to do anything.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] fireman928:
Idk. I'm doing it the way I have read to do it. Press up and power. But it just does not go past the dead Android with no command
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] JakeDHS07:
Try holding up and tapping power. Or both at the same time. Keep trying different combinations. The menu will eventually show
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] fireman928:
That's what I have been doing but I'll keep at it
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] fireman928:
I got it finally just had to continually tap volume up and power for a minute or so

a new update was released today - apparently to fix a VoLTE issue - how can i incorporte this into the rooted image? i tried to sideload and flash direct, but gets stuck at logo screen. Thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
Hi all,

Just updated the OP with images for the latest OTA + updated extras.

Make sure to read the updated instructions as well as the note at the top.

Let me know if everything works correctly.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] neozen21:
So, is V3 the 5.1.1 OTA that came out a few days ago?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] wrecklesswun:
does this have the latest patch from mot?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
It's still 5.1. There was a 5.1.1 system image floating around, but it was built in June and the images aren't signed correctly which leads me to believe it's some internal build. I'll have 5.1.1 when the OTA comes around, though.

Yes.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] realbbb:
fsg.mbn is not included.. the above command will fail.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
Also fixed, thanks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
Yes, that should be fine. If you wanted to back up application data before upgrading, you should flash a rooted 4.4 image and use an app like Titanium Backup. Otherwise, flashing directly to 5.1 will work.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] ds728:
I can't get the SHA1 to match for "5.1 upgrade images (v3)"

I'm wondering if I really do have corrupt downloads, or if the SHA1 just wasn't updated in the OP when the file changed. Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] TheSt33v:
Just out of curiosity, how were the non-system images for the latest OTA obtained? Did Verizon release the full firmware?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
The SHA1 in the OP is correct (c23e947229a685617a39474090237e18b4adca74), I updated it to include the fsg.mbn, so redownload it if you haven't already.

I could try to find another file host for a mirror if you're unable to get it working.

The only ones that have changed are boot/modem/fsg, which all were included in the OTA. (boot and modem had to be patched manually)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] ds728:
Weird. For the 5.1 images v3.zip, I get: 3e91b4449fe9a6612a700cb2d6be6449e4693966

and for the rooted system image v2, I get: c92db9d104c0dc2959706a56b8330c2491788226

^ These are SHA 256 hashes rather than SHA1.

I've tried deleting and re-downloading 3 times.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
What are you using to calculate the sha1sum?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] ds728:
:eek: I am 0 for 2 in this thread. User error, again. I was accidentally calculating the SHA-256 rather than the SHA1. PSA: For anyone else using a Mac, "sha" != "sha1" when using the openssl command in Terminal.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] wrecklesswun:
I did the OTA upgrade, and before it could boot, i re mofo'd the img back, and that seem to work, so everything got updated excep the system.img. anyway to get that patched without loosing root?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] neozen21:
What do you mean by you did the OTA upgrade? You took the OTA from Verizon?

Was your bootloader upgraded to 5.1? If so, MOFO won't work anymore...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] wrecklesswun:
the bootloader was upgraded, and mofo still works no matter what i do... however i have no way of applying the patch, not sure why but it freezes at the logo, and i lose root.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] neozen21:
So your bootloader was upgraded to 5.1 and you think MOFO still works??

That would be great news to all those people who took the OTA and got screwed! But I seriously doubt it...

So, when you try to flash any custom system image with MOFO it still says successful??

The reason your phone freezes at the logo is because the image you are trying to flash probably wasn't flashed successfully..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] wrecklesswun:
so the process i went thru - i returned my phone to stock, no root, etc - took the update. Update was successful, then using mofo, reflashed only the system.img, and the first few times i got to 55% or so, but eventually it finished successfully, and had root after the fact. Now with that, i had to deactivate and reactivate Advanced callling by calling verizon as the option was available in settings no longer, but after i got off the phone with them, everything was back to normal, so the moral of the story is i got everything in the update, except the system.img...

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

if i could find a system.img that has the system portion of the patch, then my phone will stop nagging me to update, even though i did... if i flash the stock, it stops nagging me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] wrecklesswun:
I'm updated...ignore my last post...it all worked perfectly without having to wipe cache.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] PILLMUZIK3600:
So what ur telling me is that u went back to stock. Took the update and mofo still works? Good to know..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] wrecklesswun:
Yes and I repeated twice to b sure. I did have to get an updated version of mofov2 but yes after the update mofo still worked to perfection
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] PILLMUZIK3600:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] adildroid29:
Not Work..! Motorola stuck logo when flashing...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] xjlx659:
During flashing or during the first boot? Flashing is done through mofo so you wouldn't see Moto logo... First boot takes about a minute or two. In my case, it was sitting on the blue DROID logo screen.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] trikotret:
Does this image eventually boot up with V2 and patch 2
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] PINGXIANG840:
Ok help me out here. I first download and flash the rooted image first. Then what's next? I read through every post and I am getting more and more confused. Could someone please break down to me what I have to flash first, then second and If I have to flash extras at which point do I flash those. I want to upgrade my rooted 4.4 to 5.1 but haven't yet because the instructions are way to complex for me. If someone breaks it down to me step by step I will paypal them 20$
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
I fixed the link to the patching instructions in the OP. You'll want to follow the instructions to use xdelta3 under the patching section of the post, then flash the patched system.img using mofo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] PINGXIANG840:
No one up for the paypal? I am confused as a mother. I want to put a rooted 5.1 image on my phone with tether and all the other goodies baked into the mage. Where do I begin?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] PINGXIANG840:
I'm currently on rooted 4.4.4. So I took the rooted 5.1 v2 image and patched it with your extras patch. Now in the 5.1 update files do i flash all of those files? including the fsg.mbn file? Your op says to flash mdm1m9kefs3.mbn and to erase mdm1m9kefs1 mdm1m9kefs2 as well; but that's not in the file so do I just skip those commands?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
The mdm1m9kefs3 command uses the fsg.mbn. (fastboot flash mdm1m9kefs3 fsg.mbn) The part after "flash" indicates where on the phone it's being flashed, and the last part is what file to use from your computer. The erase commands don't have that last part, because they don't need a file. So those should still be run.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] PINGXIANG840:
Great man thanks. I am going to follow the list in your original post #1. Someone put up another post and said he only flashed some of your list.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] adildroid29:
Done... Patch be successful thanks ☺

XT1254 delivered with 5.1

My XT1254 came shipped from Verizon with 5.1 preinstalled. After reading through this thread, am I in the "I am screwed" category as far as rooting this thing? Thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] mattlgroff:
For now, yeah.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] someguyatx:
Is there any simple way to add tethering or the extras patch? I looked at the instructions for xdelta3 and they confused me.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
Hi all,

I updated the extras patch to include the latest Xposed official version (v72).

I'm also providing a full download for the extras for those who don't want to mess with xdelta3 for patching.

Check the latest note in the OP for details.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
Another update: extras v4 contains Xposed v73, which contains some minor improvements for 5.1.

Same deal as before; more info in the OP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] beckerfj:
I used the firstEncounter's v3 patch version (Xposed v72). I used the "all in one" image that included the extras patch (only because I tried to patch the rooted v2 image with the v3 patch and kept getting checksum errors when executing the xdelta command - but my sha1 values matched). Everything ultimately worked. Installed the Xposed Installer apk (only the apk - XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk).

I then installed GravityBox[LP] from within Xposed and everytime I try to open it, it says "GravityBox system framework not responding. Exiting."

Was I supposed to change any settings in Xposed? Not sure what step to try next. Any ideas?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] unhappybirthday:
I have to ask (because you didn't mention it). Did you enable the gravitybox module (checkbox) in the Xposed installer?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] beckerfj:
Oh man, talk about being a noob! To think, I was running GravityBox with rooted 4.4 earlier too (facepalm)!

Check box was all that was needed. Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] jalal-jap:
sorry for my question.

can i flash thise sytem img to Xt 1254 ota updated 5.1

whit fastboot?

gain root and exposed ....

sorry for english.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] unhappybirthday:
Sorry, the 5.1 bootloader will not allow the MOFO exploit tool we use to flash a system image with a locked bootloader. Maybe someone will find a way to unlock the 5.1 bootloader in the future. In the meantime, the hardware is nice and the stock ROM is close to AOSP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
Hi all,

I updated all of the images in the OP with the latest OTA (SU4TL-44) and included the latest official Xposed version (v75) in the extras.

Check the note in the OP for more information.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] smokie75:
Thanks for the updated images! Installation went smoothly. As I have previously not been a user of Xposed, can anyone suggest what might be the most popular modules that one might want to run on the Droid Turbo?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
I primarily use GravityBox (big collection of tweaks, very useful), SignalIconsAOSP (replace the Motorola signal icons with stock Lollipop ones),YouTube AdAway and a few other app-specific ones to improve functionality of apps I frequently use.

I'd recommend browsing the Xposed forum here on XDA to find some more useful ones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] Mr. Toad:
Thanks for the update. I just flashed my Father in-law's phone. He was still on 4.4 and really wanted the hotspot.

I'm so confused. Everywhere I look, I see bootloader locked this, and bootloader locked that.

What's wrong with the option in dev settings that allows you to unlock the bootloader?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] unhappybirthday:
It has no function on this model.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] jombo2323:
Ah, thanks.

So if my phone auto updated to 5.1 as soon as it was turned on, there's nothing I can do, correct?

I'd throw 40 bucks to the bounty.

Sorry for minor derailment
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] someguyatx:
Thanks for the fast update, my phone has been bugging me all week to take the latest OTA. Flashing extras 5.1 over the previous version now

At this time no there is nothing you can do. Keep following the bounty thread, jcase just posted there yesterday and he is one of the people behind the mofo root method we are using now.

I'm new to the Droid Turbo world and I've managed to avoid the update notifications, thank the good man upstairs! lol But yea...I'm still on 4.4.4 and just wondering if you were able to successfully mofo root/flash from a mofo rooted 4.4.4 up to the 5.1? Have you unlocked yet? If so, did everything go pretty smooth? I'm thinking about taking the plunge on all this tonight at some point, but I've gotta be 1,000% certain about each step in the process because I can't afford to have a bricked device/not have a device at all for awhile! lol

Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] 6Binford:
I used mofo to go to 5.1, then sunshine to unlock. Follow the instructions in the op to do the fastboot steps from the 5.1 Firmware images (V4) to prepare the phone for 5.1. Then flash the rooted 5.1 system image (V3). Then sunshine. Then twrp. Then remove the unlocked bootloader image ( I used the logo_nounlock.bin from the themes and applications for moto max link in http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/bootloader-twrp-root-links-t3258356).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
I updated the OP with a discontinuation notice and the recommended method for using SunShine.

To reiterate, please flash the images from here after unlocking to make sure your phone is 100% up to date.

This also includes a TWRP flashable zip for removing the unlocked bootloader warning.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] unhappybirthday:
I want to thank you for building and sharing these images and instructions. They have let me make my DROID Turbo my own, first with the extras images and now with the path to bootloader unlock.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] CatMan8:
Hi, Will this work for return a turbo currently on computerfreaks rom, to stock?

I would like to get a almost-stock system, while keeping unlocked bootloader/TWRP and root ability.

I don't know if my phone was rooted/unlocked with Sunshine or mofo, since I bought it on swappa already unlocked.

Thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] firstEncounter:
If the bootloader is unlocked (if TWRP is installed, then it definitely is), then it's unlocked using SunShine.

You'll be able to flash the system images from here using fastboot as outlined in the latest note in the OP.

Flash the boot.img from the "firmware images" zip as well since you're coming from a custom ROM.

Data wipe is likely not required, but make a backup just in case.

I'd recommend using the plain stock image and using TWRP to flash SuperSU or other tweaks you want.
