Here is first version of Interop Unlocker for LG.

Works on Win10 only.

Since I don't have device no one really knows what will happen!

Helo. How to activate this codes?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] graymonkey44:
It's still early and I have a feeling it will take a while until we have some form of root (if at all), but where should we start? I personally do not know the first place to start, but if anyone out there has any ideas, feel free to discuss them here.

I would like to make a bounty, but it seems like the trend has been a purchase is required to get root.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
lol, I was wondering when one of these threads would start up.

Do we even know if any of the normal parties will be working on root for the dt2?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jerbear44:
I expect to have mine new dt2 in the morning. Anyway the KINGROOT will root the device? they claim lollipop root....
[Droid Turbo 2 General] graymonkey44:
I figured I would pave the way for a discussion, lol. I wish I knew anything about this stuff, otherwise I'd take a shot at it.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] mech_supernova:
King root doesn't work tried that day 1
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
anyone try sunshine?

I was tinkering with the Moto BL unlock site yesterday. Actually got it to the point where I could get the "request unlock key" to show, but would fail upon clicking that to actually getting the emailed key
[Droid Turbo 2 General] rajuabju:
I hate to be Debbie Downer. But yea.... dont buy this phone is you're expecting root or an unlocked bootloader to happen any time soon.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
I know, its a shame. I absolutely LOVE moto devices, but have to seriously rethink since they seem to have stopped releasing dev devices
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonJoel:
Nevermind. Deleted.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] fletch33:
most likely as true as your avatar is pink.

i will root it up if it happens but not likely anymore and only recently began to agree with what i just posted above and always knew it would come eventually but not anymore
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jerbear44:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

Motorola provided me with this...
[Droid Turbo 2 General] graymonkey44:
That most likely doesn't work because Verizon has to lock down everything. I hope it does though. Let us know what happens
[Droid Turbo 2 General] fletch33:
We are not on this list or the turbo before us so that's not gonna happen :(
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Digital DJ:
Anyone know if Wondershare will root it? I've rooted my tablets with that one click root process before, but not with my DT2 yet. I have my DT2, but not sure why I'd root when there is no development for it yet. btw my DT1 with LP wouldn't root with Wondershare.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] graymonkey44:
The only reason I want root is for mobile hotspot.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] mech_supernova:
mine does that right out of the box, I want root for autohide soft keys
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jlemons44:
The Link is useless as are the Moto chat employees.

They left me realizing the unlock and root may be WAAAY down the road.

I root for the good apps as Verizon talked me out of my unlimited data. where is titanium????

The hotspot app of theirs (V's) does work out of the box. it just eats Data.... Ive been mad for a year over my decision. I MAY refuse the box in the morning just over Moto's shenanigans on not letting me unlock a $700 phone I paid for direct. FOOLS...
[Droid Turbo 2 General] itanas:
+1 to that. Hotspot would be priceless.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] graymonkey44:
So you either don't have unlimited data or are paying the extra $30 a month for the feature.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] graymonkey44:
But

Again, mobile hotspot doesn't work if you have unlimited data. Since it took about 6 months for the original Turbo to get mofo root, I have a feeling it's gonna take just as long, if ever. They still haven't found a way to write to the system within an image.

It's a shame, they got you good with getting you on a tiered line, and of course they're gonna give free mobile hotspot to tiered users for that exact reason that it eats up data. It gives you a greater chance of going over your data cap, therefore, putting more money into Verizon's greedy little pockets.

I usually average around 75GB a month, so there's no way I will EVER voluntarily give up my unlimited data. They're gonna have to pry it from my cold, dead hands before I ever give up my unlimited data.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
i completely agree
[Droid Turbo 2 General] watcherliu:
if the root can be done on this device, then i will buy it :) Really disappointed on those android device can not be rooted.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
OEM unlock? Droid Turbo 2

OK, question. Does selecting OEM unlocking, reset the device? Then when you do does it change something in the bootloader unlock code in the boot loader that will give Motorola the OK to give you the unlock code? Has anyone tried this? Do you think there is a possibility it could work? If no one has tried it i could, I just want to know if it will wipe the device first!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Oxygen_Free:
Guys if you know someone with the same device as yours just ask them for their img file (don't worry there is nothing personal in the img file) and install it on your device. That's what I did with my lg g4 from Verizon.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Asked many times already, just nothing will happen.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
Yeah, i did end up trying last night, but still nothing happened :(
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Dsm2173:
It got to 24% today, though I'm not sure if the percentage really means anything if they don't actually have a working root strategy
[Droid Turbo 2 General] veedubsky:
Well I am in it to win it. Bought me a DT2 yesterday!!! I wish I had more knowledge in this game to help out or at least make an impact. Maybe Moto is hiring... ;)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] VanillaG0rilla:
So I have an extra device that I know I'll need to send back to Verizon very soon. I'm willing to attempt to root it, but I'm inexperienced. Is there anyone out there willing to provide some pointers?

I figured out to make an APK that will allow remote access. I can turn the camera and mic on, take pictures and access the filesystem...but it's as a standard user. I don't know how I can use that (or if I can) to get escalated privileges.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Pairodice:
I've lots of experience rooting Linux based systems but never android. That being said you might try fuzzing a service or application that might have higher permissions.

Just as a side note all the systems I rooted were mine or permission was given to me by the owner.

Edit: A Linux kernel exploit was recently released that affects android as well. It may give us some hope however some believe it won't work. I haven't really researched it.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Digital DJ:
I remember the days of Android phones when the phone was rooted before the device was even for sale.

I definitely have some $$$ set aside for whoever gets this bad-boy actually rooted! I'm not TOO worried about the BL being unlocked, but I would love to be able to remove unwanted carrier/moto apps that I not only do not use (and also disable) but do not WANT ON THE DEVICE I PAID FULL PRICE FOR AND SHOULDN"T HAVE TO BE STUCK WITH!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] VanillaG0rilla:
You have any good sites about fuzzing? I've heard of it but don't know much about it.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Pairodice:
To put it very simply, Fuzzing is the act of sending random strings of data to a program or service while at the same time monitoring that program or service for odd behavior. There are some ebooks/tutorials/videos out there that are easy to find. I don't particularly have a recommendation.

It takes time and some knowledge to Fuzz. While running the program itself is easy, you have to know what to target and when you do eventually receive an unintended response out of the service you have to know what to do with it. So it can take some programming knowledge as well.

The trouble is your going to have to run a fuzzing program from a computer and have it fuzz a service on a phone. As I said I've never tried rooting a phone before. You might overcome this by trying to fuzz over ADB or perhaps creating a bridge if you are good at programming. Lastly you could attempt to set up some kind of virtual machine running the XT1585's software and try it that way.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Pairodice:
After looking more into the Linux kernel exploit mentioned earlier (CVE-2016-0728). It seems like it will not be able to help those of us who want root on Turbo 2. It will not work on our phones due to SELinux setting. It may however help on some phones running slightly older versions of android as the SELinux setting was changed for Lollipop. Oh well.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
http://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/01/droid-turbo-2-marshmallow-source-kernels-now-available.html

maybe someone could use this, and find an exploit in Android M before we get it? just an idea i dont know to much :)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] QuintonAjStevens:
Waiting...

It's been nearly 3 months and still no success / progress... :(
[Droid Turbo 2 General] _ck_:
Your best bet for root is the same way the Droid Mini/Maxx was rooted by CrashXXL

Use qload drivers to backup the rom, modify the rom and write the rom outside of the bootloader.

You may never get twrp or custom roms but at least you'll get root and xposed.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] D.B.Cooper2074:
Didn't test it, but took under three months to have green stripe down middle of screen, so yeay!!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] aneeshmbabu:
I do t think we will get a bootloader unlocked turbo in near future .
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Exleh:
I am not so worried about an unlocked bootloader. This phone is about as close to stock as it can be besides a Nexus device. I just want to be able to block ads in apps and use Xposed.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] johnmansfield:
Exactly. I just mainly want root. Boatloader isn't all that big of a deal to me at the moment.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] hypertek:
coming from samsung phones (i rode my s4 for a few years til the usb port died, than i repaired it, but than the camera stopped working).. and loved root and replaceable battery on that thing.. so the microsd slot on the turbo 2 and battery was a selling point for this.

Had it for a while now, and can say I am ok with no root... Sure it would be nice, i mainly used it for xposed framework with snapprefs (to save snapchat stuff).. but i have since turned to an alternative (casper) which has been doing me good.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Digital DJ:
Have any of you heard of Wondershare MobileGo? I used it to root both Verizon Ellipsis Tab 8 and my first Droid Turbo. It was fast and easy. I can't seem to get it to root my DT2 though.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] aneeshmbabu:
I think turbo 2 owners are stuck up with an locked BL and no root .. Reality we have to accept untill someone will surfae .. We r ready to pay but famous devs are not ready to do stuffs with dt2
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Digital DJ:
Yeah I know it's the point if this thread, I've just never seen anyone talk about wondershare. Although I've used it several times in an attempt, it hasn't worked. But we all know Android devices seem to have personalities of their own so I thought I'd throw this out there and maybe someone would have some luck with it...
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Jimmy8881:
Here is a crazy idea, there is another thread that shows how to enable tether on the phone right after booting up, could it be an exploit that we could use to root? Maybe launch a rooting app at boot the same way to access root? I'm not sure if possible just thought I mention my idea. Would try myself but I'm without a pc at the moment.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bignazpwns:
Has absolutely nothing to do with anything related to root. Thats just a way to skip the provision check when the tether ask if you have tethering on your plan.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Exleh:
I think that we just need to be patient.[emoji6]
[Droid Turbo 2 General] aneeshmbabu:
Hope so some one will surface with a root or BL unlock..
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Exleh:
We just need root honestly. It will come but I think it's gonna take a while. Remember this phone is only a few months old.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] pokey68:
Does anybody have the OEM unlocker option in their developer options of their DT 2? I have been able to enable it and keep it enabled. Is that anyway to help with root or no?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
No, you're the first one who found it and asked :D

No, no help at all.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] pokey68:
Was worth a try
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Sure, but it's like that every new user ask the same question ;)

And I suppose each time older users get false hope with new post notification.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] pokey68:
I have been able to put su, bb and superuser.apk in /data/local/tmp folder but haven't had the chance to finish up to try and get temp root. I am going to try and see what I can do with Virtualbox and Ubuntu later today as I am working with a Windows 10 Pro x64 PC currently. I am not a dev but would like to be but have no experience at all.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

I am not new every user though. If I knew what to look for I would try and help with this
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
Good luck to you and keep us updated!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] pokey68:
If somebody could help me out and let me know what I am looking for etc., that would be very helpful

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

Like I said I am not a dev just someone who likes to have control over his devices is all
[Droid Turbo 2 General] o8o.o0880o.o8o:
I think we're stuck until MM rolls out before anyone is willing to touch this thing. Hopefully with the soak test that's currently occurring this week in India we'll be seeing the official release in the weeks to come.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
I thought that Turbo 2 got MM by now. For Force was so long time ago that I've started looking for 6.0.1 or 7 :p

Probably stuck because of Verizon. I don't see any other reasonable reason for delay for almost the same device.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] o8o.o0880o.o8o:
Theyre usually the antagonists when crap like this happens. All we can do is hope at this point.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Really sorry for you guys. For you would be better that someone start working on BL unlock before MM update. Usually bigger chance to find exploit on older firmware.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
Kingroot now gets to almost 30% and they now have a request to research the phone!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonWarren001:

The root is possible but we need a root bounty. I have seen many people saying they will pledge so lets get together and make this happen.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] tugboatpaul:
I'll contribute
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
do you know who posted that image? is it trustworthy?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonWarren001:
Not really sure honestly but that's all the right info for the Turbo 2. I suppose it could be altered but it seams pretty legit
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
yeah, but i looked pretty closely at it and it does seem legit. Im just wondering who did it and if they are going to post how!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonWarren001:
Well the person I talked to asked to remain anonymous and he said his connection was waiting for the bounty but than he changed his mind and said he wasn't really interested. So honestly I'm not really sure what his plan is
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
Did he say how much the bounty is? and how he did it, like with a bl unlock or a root app?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonWarren001:
He didn't say anything other than he could do it and he wanted the bounty so I know I'm very iffy about it but if there is enough support it "may" happen
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
Well, if he is real and telling the truth, i am on board.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonWarren001:
I agree if its true than hell yeah I love this phone and want a root like yesterday
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
I'm with you on that one!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Clay33478:
I just got this phone a week ago. I love it without root, I'll love it even more with.

Unlocked bootloader

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b

Unlocking the bootloader on Motorola website is a good start.:D
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
It doesn't work. I've tried several times
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonWarren001:
Tried just about every method out there for unlocking the BL and rooting yet nothing has worked
[Droid Turbo 2 General] MrTvor88:
Yeah, me too.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonWarren001:
Well the interest for the root and unlocked BL is there we just need the developers to hop on board with us lol
[Droid Turbo 2 General] frankk1979:
devs, please help us out.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] pokey68:
I spoke with a Motorola rep this morning and I was informed that in order to unlock BL, we need to get with Verizon to do so

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

I am trying to see what I can do with my phone today as I had to return my other one last week and received new one yesterday. Has anybody got their BL code data yet?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] veedubsky:
Yes now give Verizon a call and ask them how to unlock the phone and they will blame Moto for locking it. GL, been there done that. Save yourself the frustration and wait on the community.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] pokey68:
hadn't planned on calling Verizon as I know what the answer will be
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Sammguy:
Root Quest

Ok so i been on the phone with Verizon and they had no clue what a bootloader was. they told me to call motorola and like the previous post said call Motorola then Motorola said call Verizon for root access. I will give Verizon a call about possible root access but im not holding my breath. One thing to note in the phone options in the developer tab is a button that says somethibg like oem bootloader unlock. when i questioned why the button was there and i wasnt able to unlock the phone they said call verizon after a breif hold so i may have grounds on legal action for deceptive something for the lack of the legal term. I'm going to milk this to try to get either verizon or motoral to either give us root access or unlock method for bootloader which people say are unlock-able by design. If people flood their phones with this they might give in to backlash in fear of legalsuit..:D:cowboy::cool::cyclops::highfive:
[Droid Turbo 2 General] veedubsky:
Well best of luck. They just both play dumb and blame the other.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Blindxite:
Question?????

does rooting my turbo 2, if and when possible, allow me to open my hotspot srvc ? I got unlimited grandfathered in data plan via Verizon. My M8 had that option but not the turbo. Not even with foxfi. Any apps to open this hotspot option. I appreciate any feed back. Thanks.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bignazpwns:
You need to pay for the service. It won't open because when it checks your account to see if you have it on that line is shows you do not so it won't. If you want it without paying the $30 a month pick up a nexus 6p. Tether will work out of the box without the subscription.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Jimmy8881:
No root needed to use hot spot, there is another thread that explains how to enable it at boot.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jayman94fly:
Has anyone tried this? I can't because I sent in my dt2 and I am now trying to sell the replacement they sent me I'm scared that if I take it out of the box. BOOM instant price decrease, http://www.anyrooter.com/android-root-pro.html#
[Droid Turbo 2 General] deadman3000:
I'm guessing the trial just tells you whether your device can be rooted by their app. Paying for root seems a bit silly though.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] deeje00:
I'd have no problem paying for root. Worth it
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Correct. It's more silly that we don't have full control of device we paid. Someones knowledge and hard work to give us unofficial root should be honored.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] mistaweeks:
lets get back to rooting this phone......imagine the battery life
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jayman94fly:
Ikr... Hoping soon devs** get onboard

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 AM ----------

This phone would be even better!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Shanook:
+1 for root. It's a must have. Also willing to pitch in
[Droid Turbo 2 General] pokey68:
I'm willing to pay also
[Droid Turbo 2 General] ryanmclamb4:
+1 for root
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
I have Force, still without root. I thought that I'll root to fix camcorder audio recording distortion but latest concert recording is just fine. For now no need to root :)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jayman94fly:
Someone needs to capitalize on this opportunity to root this Verizon phone and gain payment..
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bignazpwns:
There is no payment. No bounty set just people saying they would pay. No one is keeping track of how much.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jayman94fly:
What are the steps actually involved in getting one going? I'm sure if devs saw how many people would pledge they'd get on board
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheBadBen:
For me the big question is: Take the Marshmallow update when it shows, or keep Lollipop hoping for root or BL unlock?

If everyone takes Marshmallow, will it even matter if a dev gets root on Lollipop?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
I would keep Lollipop, higher probability to find exploit on older OS. However, most probably root will not survive upgrade to Marshmallow.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonJoel:
A root method may come, who knows.

Speaking specifically of the Turbo 2, I'm not sure why would anyone expect devs to work on this phone???

It is a low volume seller on one US carrier. I think expecting any major dev to work on it was probably irrational from the get go...
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
Well jcase and beups found a bootloader exploit on the og turbo. These guys do t advertise because they get inundated with when will it be finished. So if they find an exploit they will announce when they are ready.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Jersey846:
Anyone that is waiting for root, most everyone knew the possibility and availability going into this. It's a great phone either way, but if you're waiting for root, this is gonna be a marathon of a wait and I wouldn't expect anything today or tomorrow. Things like this can take a lot of work and definitely take time. Took a very long time for the original Moto X. And if you want root don't update to Marshmallow 6.0 when it comes out and then cry about it afterwards.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] jayman94fly:
Verizon Wireless chat Feb 22nd

This was my chat with Verizon, I doubt it will be useful but just trying to help... (A few months) for the marshmallow update wtf...
[Droid Turbo 2 General] hypertek:
Seen the s7 coming out soon.. that thing will probably get root faster, and they added the micro sd slot back. but who knows. I still like my turbo 2, hardware specs isnt much different imo.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bignazpwns:
Verizon s7 will never see root. That phone is going to be so locked down.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] johnmansfield:
I can't wait for root!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Clay33478:
That's really good. Please give us MM.

According to the MFN agreement you are not allowed to talk about it.
