Beaups' frustration is justified. Imagine (or consider, if this is your actual situation) you have a kid with a toy that has a tiny blue light on it, and your kid says to you "Daddy (or mommy), I want the light to be red!" So you take the thing apart, find wiring diagrams, meticulously unsolder the blue light, solder the red light, reassemble it and say "okay kid, there's your red light! Just don't drop it in the water." The kid is happy for a few days, and then sure enough he comes back and says "I dropped it in the water! Can you make the red light come back?" So you disassemble it again, find out what is fried, order a new part, break the new part because you were wrong, order a few more parts, find the right one through trial and error, install it, reassemble the toy and give it to your kid. "There," you say, "the red light is back on, but don't throw it in a fire." A few days pass..."I threw it in a fire! It's all melted now! Can you make the red light come back on?"

Wouldn't you kind of want to smack your kid at this point?

I can give you a real-life example...

About 10 years ago, in the corporation where I work (2,000 employees in this particular HQ building, 4000 worldwide), one strain of virulent malware propagated by email was running rampant. (This was back before we off-shored our U.S. IT dept. and actually had lots of guys in the building responding to this crisis.) All the employees were told "DO NOT CLICK ON ANY STRANGE ATTACHMENT IN EMAILS", especially from "co-workers".

The virus/worm was confiscating Outlook contact lists and then sending itself to other employees with the message "Important information! See attachment". Once everyone knew what to look for it was easy to spot -- it was some strange php or js attachment. The email message was the same each time. It's just back then such an attack was NEW and took people by surprise, as the product from our company is such a collaborative effort and you trust coworkers. This wasn't email malware from "strangers", as in the past.

Point is, everyone knew we were in crisis mode. In the early stages, computers were going down left and right, and for our media business (we produce a daily worldwide product, which is very time sensitive) and to communicate with our other branches in other countries or to research/write, we needed our computers. But once employees were informed of the danger and what to look for, that helped matters tremendously.

However, one woman's computer got infected THREE TIMES. The IT workers spent a lot of time getting her computer up and running. Their time was being wasted that could be working on other computers. She was asked "What's going on? Why do you keep clicking on the email attachments?" Her reply, "I just wanted to see what would happen." She got sent home for the day.

Guys, after flashing CM13.0 whenever I try to make a call my phone reboots? I saw somewhere I need to set the defaults for calling. Any idea where that is?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
It's the dialer. Depending on which GAPPs you installed, you may have two dialers now.

For Marshmallow ROMs, Banks Dynamic GAPPS are better than Open GAPPS -- for reasons like that.

Here's Lollipop SU4TL-49 radio + bootloader and the new Marshmallow 6.0.1, both in TWRP flashable format. If you've already flashed Marshmallow radio/bootloader, do NOT downgrade radio/bootloader. If you have not flashed the official Verizon radio/bootloader for Marshmallow yet, you can still use the Lollipop "49" radio if you wish. (Some people like it, some don't.)

Got an OTA update incoming.

Hello,

first of all i would like to thank you for simplifying the entire process in such a concise tutorial. it worked the first time around :good:

but i got a surprise after i completed the entire process and that was that i got a software update popup and then a downloading status bar showing me at least 1.2Gbs of data waiting to be downloaded.

now with your tutorial you already have said that we are not supposed to go higher than SU4TL-49 (which is what i have currently with lollipop 5.1), i never got this update before rooting and unlocking the bootloader..so i dont really know whether to make good or bad of it. can you give me any idea of whether or not i should go ahead with it or not? i tried to restore everything back to factory defaults, did a few wipes from the bootloader too but the download pop-op still comes up looking for a wifi connection :eek:

if bootloader is unlocked, installing updates will not change unlock status

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------

if you don't want to update, I freeze Motorola update app, with titanium backup pro
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] calistoz:
this is just the answer that i was looking for because i thought that maybe after updating the bootloader might go back to default / locked status. thanks for the quick response :good:

but my other question is about installing custom roms, if this updates the SU4TL-49, i will be able to flash back to it right?

UPDATE: so i downloaded the file but it didnt flash on the phone because it kept trying to access its default bootloader but instead TWRP kept popping up, copied the file from the system cache and ran it through TWRP and it gave an error because the release keys required for the installation didnt match the one on my phone.

the file was named "Blur_Version.23.21.49.quark_verizon.verizon.en.US" im guessing it will still keep it at SU4TL-49.

apart from this can you recommend any good and stable Roms which are not gonna cause problems with radio and stuff? i have android 5.1 and SU4TL-49

if you are going to downgrade then im pretty sure that youre going to lose the data in your internal storage during the process. its always a good idea to make a back up of your data before either downgrading or upgrading.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Of course your bootloader is already unlocked or you wouldn't be asking this, right?

IF your bootloader is unlocked, yes you can downgrade. Just be sure to NOT flash GPT.bin when downgrading or you'll have a bad day.

You really should look for the appropriate thread, as it's very easy to find.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
What you do mean "before this one"? I see you mention SU4TL-49, but is that the radio you want or you want the one before that one -- SU4TL-44?

SU4TL-49 radio for XT1254 is in the CM13 thread in the OP. There's nothing wrong with that radio. If you read the OP (you did read the OP right?) it tells special ADB command you can flash to force XT1254 to recognize the Droid Turbo for either Verizon CDMA or non-Verizon GSM carrier.

The only issue there is he can only flash SU4TL-49 radio + bootloader (or higher) if that's what he has right now. The packages in that thread are radio + bootloader. He cannot flash the package which includes SU4TL-44 bootloader.

I actually gave him the SU4TL-49 radio + bootloader link and the 6.0.1 radio + bootloader links a week ago when he had other radio issues:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zhaoyun:
Hello, the unlocking bootloader procedures here are new to me, and I am trying to make sure I am understanding the steps correctly before I proceed. So please don't mind if I ask dumb question, I have read the posts but just cannot visualize what's going on.

I am using the stock SU4TL-49 without any modification since day 1. Now the phone is downloading the system update OTA file, so I know unless I keep ignoring the update, I would need to unlock it soon or I will lose the chance. Since the droid turbo is still my daily driver and I do not have a spare phone in hand, I cannot bear the consequence of losing the existing setup while unlocking nor the time needed to restore. So my questions are:

1) if I only want to unlock the bootloader so I won't regret later, should I only need to do Section 1 and 2 of the original post, and stop when TWRP is installed?

2) If I understand correctly sunshine is a paid app? In which step I am asked to pay?

3) If I just do Section 1 and 2, is there any chance that I don't need to backup the phone and the stuff and setup inside can be kept?

4) If everything go smoothly, should I then just reboot the phone and go to take the stock system update?

5) If I ultimately would root the phone, should I root it in one go or I can do it later?

BTW, other than the bootloader unlock, may I ask whether the stock marshmallow is worth the upgrade? I concern the most on battery, will it perform better after upgrade?

Thanks a lot for everyone's help!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
1. Only section 1 is necessary if the only thing you want to accomplish is bootloader unlocking. Keep in mind that SafetyNet now detects unlocked bootloaders, so if you rely on Android Pay, you might want to consider this.

2. Yes. Section 1, step 7. Sunshine will prompt you to pay after all compatibility checks have been passed.

3. No data will be wiped when only following sections 1 and 2, but backing up is always a good idea in the unlikely event that something goes wrong.

4. Yes but if you're going to do that, don't install TWRP. The OTA needs the stock recovery menu to be installed for it to function properly.

5. You can do it later. If you want to root after taking the marshmallow OTA, install TWRP and then flash this older version of SuperSU: https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/. After you do that, you can flash the the newest version of SuperSU. Just make sure you flash the old one first.

I've been using stock marshmallow since it was released and I'm happy with it. I haven't done many tests, but the battery life seems about the same as SU4TL-49 to me during normal use. However, during light use, battery life is significantly better thanks to doze. Give it a try. With an unlocked bootloader, going back to SU4TL-49 is easy if you don't like it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Unlocked bootloader is God mode. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
IDDQD
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zhaoyun:
Thanks a lot for the explanations.

Android Pay is not an issue for me as it is still not very common here in Hong Kong. But what common services other than Android Pay would be affected?

On TWRP, am I right that it is not required if I opt the Marshmallow OTA, and on the contrary, if I install TWRP now, I can only obtain ROMs from other sources, such as those listed in the original posts?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
You will not be able to use anything that checks SafetyNet. Android Pay is the only service that I know of that does this. People have claimed that Pokémon Go uses SafetyNet, but that isn't true. I can run it just fine despite failing SafetyNet. I can also use my bank's tap and pay app, which is the same thing as Android Pay.

Correct. TWRP will prevent you from taking an official OTA. However, the official OTA has been packaged into a TWRP-friendly format, so instead of taking the OTA, you can flash stock marshmallow that way. See this forum here: https://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mcg24-251-5-100-stock-t3512949

If you would like to take the official OTA, perform section 1, reboot and take the OTA, then perform section 2 to install TWRP if you wish. If for some reason you need to replace TWRP with the stock recovery menu later on, it's easy to do.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zhaoyun:
Thanks again. Now I have downloaded the sunshine, on the apk install screen, the one that show me a lot of permissions required, it showed the NEXT button in the lower right of screen and when I scroll down it will become INSTALL. However I can only click CANCEL but cannot click the INSTALL to proceed. I am sure I have set the permission to install 3rd party app and rebooted the phone to try again. What else should I do?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] sd_shadow:
you can try wiping the data of the installer app, but may have to factory reset or reflash firmware with RSD Lite
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tecsironman:
That is one code I will never forget
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zhaoyun:
Do you mean the clearing the data of "Package installer" app? Have just tried but nothing changed. I am avoiding factory reset as far as possible, any way out?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mrkhigh:
Fwiw.

My understanding as of today is Safety net does not detect unlocked bootloader on lollipop bootloader. (It does on marshmallows)

If you do not update the bootloader, you will not need any "trickery" to use Android pay.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] EjđiSixo:
Guys , quick question can't find any info on the net.

Does Droid Turbo Employee Edition (EE) have unlockable bootloader through Motorola's site? So basically same phone as moto maxx? Searhed whole net and forum , it doesn't state nowhere it's unlockable. I ask because on ebay there was one and it was stated that it's a special employee edition and that it has UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER by default. hm..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
No, that is not true. The Droid Turbo Employee Edition does have regular locked bootloader, like all other Quarks including the Moto Maxx. Either the seller doesn't know any better or he already unlocked it via Sunshine and for some reason doesn't want to admit he modified the software. In fact the Droid Turbo with already unlocked bootloaders are MORE valuable, in my opinion. Some people -- for stupid reasons -- were LOCKING their bootloaders back before selling, which is very problematic for buyers wishing to unlock the Droid Turbo bootloader.

FYI, even the Moto Maxx (I own three of them) have LOCKED bootloaders. But easily unlocked with free code from Motorola on request.

All Quarks have locked bootloaders when bought new. The difference is control freak Verizon does not let Motorola give out bootloader unlock codes for the Droid Turbo. It stays locked down, unless you use Sunshine exploit.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] EjđiSixo:
Thanks for answer. I know they all come locked ,but I was usking if unlockable through motorola's site . But obviously not since I couldn't find any info about it. I guess we'll never know , until somebody tries.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Does the seller state whether it still has Lollipop or does it have Marshmallow already?

Tell him to prove it by showing the bootloader status. ;) Is he saying it's already unlocked or that it can be easily unlocked?

As far as I know, the only difference in Droid Turbo Employee Editions were trim colors and special pricing at the point of sale.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] EjđiSixo:
Actually that was some time ago on ebay when I realised mine can't be unlocked. Yesterday I found one for ok price and asked the guy about it. He said probably it is unlockable because somebody already asked him that and that it says on the phone limited edition and his wife is employee so employee edition. It was sold shortly after, before I could find any answer about it. Ok price, but looked quite used so wouldn't give up on mine that's brand new for that..
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zhaoyun:
After some googling, I found out the reason for unable to click install is due to the blue light filtering app that overlay the screen. By disabling it, I have successfully installed sunshine.

So now I can boot up the device and see the bootloader unlock warning everytime. So can I say I can safely go to get the OTA update?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Yes, if you didn't install TWRP to replace stock recovery.

If you did, you can flash a TWRP-flashable version of the OTA found in this forum.

Also, you can get rid of the bootloader unlock warning, either ADB or via TWRP:

There's no free bootloader unlock method for the XT1254, been asked hundreds of times, in this thread --

like HERE

-- and many other threads in this fourm. Blame Verizon. The sibling Quarks (XT1225, XT1250) are not locked down, only Verizon's XT1254.

You aren't being obnoxious about it, but some are and even get replies like this:

and I've even posted a few like that. ;)

BUT there are other ways of paying for Sunshine. See here from their website. Choose which works best for you.
