[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
ALL the Quarks (U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250, International Moto Maxx XT1225, Moto Turbo XT1225) had unlock-able bootloader and root, except for the Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254. Because Verizon told Motorola to lock it down. :rolleyes:

But if you wanted root on that device, you had to buy the phone's twin -- the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250. It had identical FCC ID, was the EXACT SAME DEVICE as the Droid Turbo -- but bootloader could be unlocked and rooted. Many people bought it to run it on Verizon. It runs on Verizon with a Verizon SIM, just like a non-Verizon Moto Nexus 6.

There were two Quark devices released under THREE model names. Kinzie will be the same, in that there will be a U.S. non-Verizon version available... Wait for the regional CDMA/LTE carrier version, unlock it and run it on Verizon...

TWO MOTOROLA QUARK PHONES -- RELEASED UNDER THREE MODEL NAMES

The U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 has the exact same bands as the Droid Turbo XT1254. Has the same FCC ID. The only difference is the XT1250 has an unlock-able bootloader. It's basically the dev version of the Droid Turbo. ;) One of the best LIES Verizon ever foisted on the public is that the Droid Turbo was "exclusive". Only the Droid part of the NAME was exclusive -- because they own the rights to that name. Not the DEVICE, nor even the "Turbo" part of the name was exclusive. The EXACT same device, with exact same bands, exact same FCC ID is being sold by a dozen other carriers IN THE U.S.A.

The U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 (CDMA/GSM/HSPA/LTE) is not to be confused with the International Moto Maxx XT1225 and Moto Turbo XT1225 (see even the Turbo name is not exclusive), which are also Moto Quark phones but do not have CDMA bands enabled, and have a slightly different mix of LTE bands. Both the "International" XT1225 models are the same device, in spite of having two model names (Moto Turbo and Moto Maxx). Same FCC ID across all regions, same SKU.

See, there were two Motorola Quark phones -- with two different FCC IDs -- released under THREE model names: Moto Maxx, Moto Turbo, Droid Turbo

FCC ID IHDT56PK1:

XT1254 U.S. Droid Turbo/XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx (identical device, CMDA/GSM/HSPA/LTE bands -- except for model name). The XT1250 will run on Verizon, with a Verizon SIM card. This device has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7, 13 enabled.

FCC ID IHDT56PK2:

XT1225 "international" Moto Turbo/XT1225 "international" Moto Maxx (identical device, GSM/HPSA/LTE bands, except for model names). This device has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17 enabled.

(Moto stock ROM for the XT1225 is still Lollipop 5.0.2 -- but we've had custom Lollipop 5.1.1 ROM for several months, even before Verizon finally released 5.1.0 for the Droid Turbo XT1254.)

Of the two Quark models -- released under three models names (Moto Maxx, Moto Turbo, Droid Turbo) -- only the one with the model name "Droid Turbo" has locked down bootloader. The XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx is basically the "dev" version of the XT1254 "Droid Turbo" if you can get your hands on it. (unlock-able bootloader, can be easily rooted, TWRP installed, etc.)

The two FCC IDs associated with the Kinzie are:

* IHDT56UA1 (Droid Turbo 2) < this will be the same FCC ID for the U.S. non-Verizon variant.

FCC letter: https://fccid.io/document.php?id=2690015 (lists Verizon LTE band 13)

* IHDT56UA2 (international Moto X Force)

FCC letter: https://fccid.io/document.php?id=2711123

Motorola is only required to list the GSM/HSPA/LTE bands used by carriers in the U.S. in their specifications to the FCC. Of course, we know the Moto X Force has many, many more LTE bands than those listed in that letter. It's only important so you can track the FCC ID. ;) (Last year, Motorola did not list all the LTE bands the XT1225 Moto Maxx had, even in their official specs -- until they released the identical XT1225 Moto Turbo in India. THEN, then finally listed all the HSPA/LTE bands we had already found. )

Just like with last year's Quarks, Motorola swears all the Kinzies are identical in specs except for CDMA/LTE differences:
