[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Until September of this year -- yes SEPTEMBER 2015 -- we were all in the same forum, ALL the Quarks.

The XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx and XT1254 Droid Turbo are exactly identical down to the FCC ID. A lot of people bought the XT1250 and used it on Verizon as a "dev" version of the Droid Turbo. ;) Worked on Verizon with a Verzion SIM card just like a non-Verizon Moto Nexus 6.

The XT1225 "International" Moto Maxx and XT1225 "Moto Turbo" (yeah, Motorola used the Turbo name for another Quark too) are identical except for no CDMA and slightly different mix of LTE bands.

But the Droid Turbo owners got upset because they saw all our developments -- ROMs, kernels, apps, and couldn't participate because Verzon locked down their bootloader. So, the forums got separated. All the Quarks with unlocked bootloaders got their own forum and the one Quark that was locked down got to stay in this forum. :rolleyes:

Now, suddenly, the Droid Turbo is unlocked and suddenly they realize all the stuff we did MONTHS ago is ready for them too.

See, there were basically two Motorola Quark phones -- with two different FCC IDs -- released under THREE model names: All had the same hardware, the only difference between the two were radios.

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). No CMDA. This LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17 enabled.

________

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.)

FYI: in the U.S., due to the American Disability Act (ADA), a device with the same FCC ID as another is the SAME device, no matter if it has a different model name for marketing purpose. Devices are certified to work with hearing impaired by the FCC ID. Any company that messes that up is liable for millions of dollars in fines and lawsuits in the United States.

Thus the fact the XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx and XT1254 Verizon Droid Turbo both have the same FCC ID shows the device and all the Droid Turbo device's specs/frquencies is NOT "exclusive" to Verizon. Only the name "Droid" is exclusive (because Verizon paid for the rights), not the device. Anyone that says differently is just believing Verizon's marketing lies and doesn't REALLY know about the technical/legal aspects of the cell phone industry.

Many people have bought the XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx and run it on Verizon with a Verizon SIM card, just like a non Verizon Nexus 6. It's the same phone as the XT1254 Droid Turbo, just a different model name. Same FCC ID irrefutably proves it.
