Thanks to all the little tips and a private message I got it working. Did not realize Wifi had to be on and the tip to "Fastboot reboot-bootloader" was the other step that made everything work. I appreciate everyone here in XDA.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JoyoSahab:
OK sir is there any way to downgrade to 4.4 or 4.2 KitKat from lollipop and gain root acess and unlock boot loader
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
There is no 4.2 rom available for the droid turbo. The turbo shipped with 4.4.4. If you want to downgrade to that, follow the guide in my OP to unlock the bootloader. After you've done that, download the 4.4.4 firmware here: http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=Droid Turbo/Firmware/VRZ_XT1254_SU2-12_12_CFC.xml.zip. Then boot into bootloader mode and plug your phone into a PC. Extract the contents of that zip file into the Minimal ADB and Fastboot installation directory, and double click on the .bat file that came from the zip file that you extracted. This should automatically flash all of the 4.4.4 images and wipe your phone.

Once you have done that, follow the instructions for installing TWRP and gaining root access.

I knew MetroPCS was worthless.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] sd_shadow:
Really think it's Verizon trying to get away with bandlocking
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] iiWoodstocK:
Verizon legally cannot SIM lock the Droid Turbo (or any other LTE device after 2012) to their network dating back to 2012 as part of their agreement with the FCC when they purchased the 700 mHz Block C LTE spectrum (band 13). That agreement with the FCC requires Verizon's LTE devices to be SIM unlocked. With that said, the Droid Turbo will work on MetroPCS (and any carrier) as long as they allow customers "bring your own device." If MetroPCS requires a device to be certified for use on their network, then the Droid Turbo won't be usable on MetroPCS. For example T-Mobile restricts devices band 12 LTE access to certified devices only because of VoLTE.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Cobra04:
Too bad the only way to use my prepaid Verizon Moto E LTE with my postpaid SIM is to pay Verizon a bs first month payment. Killed my account for a day before when I tried it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] iiWoodstocK:
I *think* they can legally do that because it's a prepaid device. I believe that FCC stipulation only applies to non prepaid devices. But I'm not entirely sure. But I do know the Droid Turbo is usable on other carriers without any issue.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] iiWoodstocK:
For anyone that wants it, here's a link to a FCC document regarding the whole Verizon SIM Unlock thing after purchasing band 13 LTE, it references the exact section/clause that restricts Verizon's ability to SIM lock: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...ggiMAI&usg=AFQjCNFDz-wHUEbTJ_gTRHMdEPVOFHKzFA just a heads up, the link auto-downloads a PDF from the FCC's site, but I already downloaded it so I'll attach it here since I can't seem to grab the true link from my phone.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Claps1775:
It should give you the option to pay with PayPal in the app. Once you select PayPal, it will load to the PayPal site. Sign in and it will show you what your paying for and how much. Then once it confirms you paid. You will automatically go back to sunshine app and then the app will confirm you paid. Once it does, a license will be generated and accepted. Then sunshine will finish the bootloader unlocking. That is it. You can also use there chat option at the sunshine site. They are very helpful. If you have problem, they can look on there server and see what happened with your phone. Also, make sure your wifi is on.

RE: Computerfreek274_MM_1.0 Marshmallow 6.0.1

Try this version of SuperSu (BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651) attached to post #1 of my thread.

http://xdaforums.com/moto-maxx/general/guide-how-to-unlock-moto-maxx-moto-t3455341

Computerfreek274 based his Marshmallow ROM on the Brazil 6.0.1, and most people said they had to flash this older version of SuperSu for the XT1225 6.0.1, THEN update SuperSu to a newer version later -- after initial root and reboot.

Go to post #1 of that thread, scroll to the bottom of the post and download that version of SuperSu. Flash that in TWRP, see if it works?

I have running 7.1 cr droid. Adopted this method while flashing 6.0.1 Brazilian and Indian firmwares . Worked very fine. Let's do a trick. Flash the ROM, wipe cashe,flash the Su with the same session and do boot the ROM. See if this works or not?

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

Yes it is in the first post and Version 2.78.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Just to be clear, the SuperSu version I have linked in MY thread (BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651) is not in this thread we are in right now. That is the version of SuperSu that works with Motorola Brazilian stock firmware 6.0.1 for most people. That's why I linked it in my thread for rooting the other Quarks (XT1250/XT1225). While that post #1 of my thread (unlocking bootloader, TWRP, rooting) is not for the Droid Turbo XT1254 (it's aimed at the other Quarks), I am suggesting flashing that SuperSu version first (BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651) on CF's Marshmallow ROM, then update to latest (2.78) later after first boot.

http://xdaforums.com/moto-maxx/general/guide-how-to-unlock-moto-maxx-moto-t3455341

We are probably saying the same thing, but I just want to be clear. ;)

This thread we are in right now (for Droid Turbo bootloader unlock) only deals with XT1254 Lollipop stock firmware to root. The Brazilian Marshmallow firmware on which CF ROM is based likes the beta 2.62 SuperSu, even though a newer SuperSu versions are available. The newest one doesn't work for initial root of Brazilian Marshmallow firmware.

Since CF used that Brazilian Marshmallow firmware as his foundation for his Droid Turbo XT1254 ROM, that is why I'm suggesting try that older SuperSu found in the first post of my thread. The procedures in that post are for the other Quarks, not for the Droid Turbo. But that version of SuperSu may be useful.

Just a suggestion. Let me know if it works.

For those interested, however there are other files in that thread useful for all Quarks. ;)

But also will the steps on the first page work? If I follow that without using sunshine, is it going to work for me. Sorry for bothering you.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Claps1775:
You have to unlock your bootloader to do anything. Sunshine is the only way to unlock it. You have to have a unlocked bootloader to flash twrp recovery.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] crimsonfir3:
First post here. I have SU4TL-49 and 23.21.49.quark_verizon.verizon.en.US.vzw. Everytime I try to use sunshine, it does the temp root successfully but when it tries unlocking, it says "Sunshine only supports the Droid Turbo on the SU4TL-44 and SU4TL-49 firmwares. Your device is currently on an incompatbile firmware". This obviously doesn't make sense since I got SU4TL-49. So now I am stuck trying to figure out what to do. I made sure to download the latest sunshine version too but it still didn't work.

I should mention I tried the Firmware change method in the OP before installing sunshine. The flashing goes OK but when the phone boots up, the Firmware is still SU4TL-49. I have no idea what is going wrong here and no clue how to fix it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I already replied to a similar question of yours in another thread. I do not know why initially Sunshine didn't work for you on SUTL-49... But your problem right now (probably) is you tried to downgrade "49" to "44". The OP was written (January 2016) before "49" came out (May 2016) and [MENTION=5901115]TheSt33v[/MENTION] revised it to also include "49" -- specifically saying if you have SUTL-44 or SUTL-49, do NOT do anything in Section 0. You tried to do something in Section 0.

When you try to flash a lower version of firmware of the Moto Quark, the bootloader will NOT downgrade. It still remains the higher version.

[MENTION=5901115]TheSt33v[/MENTION] is very open to suggestions and he's been very helpful for all Quark users, not just the Droid Turbo XT1254. He added the sentence about not doing anything in Section 0 because too many people were doing what you did, trying to downgrade to SUTL-44.

Do not take this next part wrong.... But, would a little more explanation have helped you in this case? Perhaps another sentence saying specifically "DO NOT TRY TO DOWNGRADE SUTL-49 TO SUTL-44"?" I am not yelling at you, I am actually asking if an all-cap sentence like that would have helped you? Because for me, sometimes I need stuff like that in my face when I am reading quickly. ;)

You are on mixed firmware right now. Your bootloader did not downgrade but other parts are probably SUTL-44. You will need to re-flash ALL of SUTL-49. If Sunshine still doesn't work then, we can ask the Sunshine team for help.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] crimsonfir3:
Well, ****. The blame lies squarely on me for me reading the OP properly. I honestly thought OP was asking to skip section 0 if you are on 44 but not if you're 49 and here's how you got to 44.

I am going to try to flash a clean SU4TL-49 using RSD lite and report back.

edit: Happy to report that worked, once again thanks.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
That wording has confused people in the past. My only reason for keeping SU4TL-44 instead of -49 is that the full firmware package for -44 comes with a handy batch file that performs all of the necessary flash operations automatically, and -49 does not. However, since you're the second person to get tripped up by this, I'm going to write my own batch file when I get home to include with the SU4TL-49 package and then update the guide to just use SU4TL-49. That way, maybe we can eliminate some confusion.
