[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NateRTW:
I edited my original comment to be more clear, I have not been able to unlock it in fastboot yet because I'm still backing up my files (gonna try to shortly), what I was able to do was unlock it via the developer settings.

I'm hoping that I will not need an OEM unlock code now for fastboot.

Can't post a screenshot until I get to 10 posts :(

Seriously man. If this is what we have seen in the past, this isn't the real way to unlock the bootloader. This switch has been there since the turbo 1.

Making it this hard is so anti-android. Where did all the openness go?
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaigaCait:
To be fair, you can't really pin this on android. This is entirely on Verizon for locking down all their devices, and Motorola for helping them do it.

Dear DJ and all:

I'm good for $30.

I think the smart-Android-people might be a little more motivated if we put the bounty money in escrow.

An escrow is when one puts money with a trusted third party who would accumulate and save the money as a service. They only release the funds when a well defined, predefined event occurs, e.g. the bootloader is hacked, it's information posted, and the process repeated.

This would help insure our valued hacker would be well and exactly paid for her efforts.

IMO, "It makes the money more real"

I've looked at escrow.com but I think we can do better. I'd like to see the money offered to anyone, anywhere in whatever currency they choose.

As someone who has taken pledges before, I know the amount collected always seems to be less then the amount pledged. An escrow would avoid this.

I've been looking around the internet for a escrow service that would be appropriate for this. But haven't found one I liked.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital DJ:
Yeah I actually thought about this at first, but steered clear of it. I haven't done any research into escrow accounts. I'm not sure anyone will pick this up at all. We've had a bounty for a few months now with no bites. I would love to post this in like the Android General but these hard-core mods keep moving or closing it. smh...

Anyway, I can't speak for anyone else but I'm definitely good for this. If we don't collect the amount pledged, then maybe the dev could sell it? I'm now sure.

Well all, I pulled the trigger last week and bought the Moto X Pure (Walnut back with Champagne Trim (cuz fancy); wife is using the DT2 she likes it but thinks it's a bit too big <insert phallic joke here> but loves the camera... that's how they hook you: here have a nice fast phone with a great camera with, er um possible root, yeah possibly since the European version is rooted yeah, then... crickets chirping.... still waiting.

I already rooted on MM and installed TruPureXMM 2.9 ROM (super debloated) with Xposed framework and my favorite modules and couldn't be happier, I will NOT be looking back at the DT2 since my freedom has been restored! <queue gospel music>

I will however still honor my commitment to the bounty, for community solidarity and a hopeful F U to Verizon.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trissypissy:
clue?

1. enter bootloader/fastboot by holding vol down before and while inserting USB cable with data connection

2. boot in "factory mode"

3. only in factory mode will RSD lite show a phone when booted into the full system interface.

booting in other modes renders this grid empty usually

4. when I initiate an image flash while booted in factory mode, I see a bunch of processes terminate "app has stopped" errors quickly flash on the phone screen while RSD lite says "rebooting into flash mode" ....

5. so this is where I pass it on to everyone else. as far as I knew, the only way to send reboot commands to the phone was via ADB. RSD lite seems to have some kind of magical ADB-ish command that it is sending to the phone in order to reboot it. would it be possible to wireshark that data and look at it?

for me this is the main block ... no matter how many times I hit "build number" I do not get the familiar developer mode message when using the workarounds in the youtube videos

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thrax12:
Let's assume for the sake of argument that seller on taobao really has rooted Turbos. Let's assume they really are Turbos, assume he didn't just buy them rooted and let's assume he actually has a root method which would work on our phones. That's alot of assumptions. But my point is he is on that site to sell phones. Not supply a root and/or BL unlock method to people who already have phones. So my suggestion is whoever reaches out to him mention the bounty. He (or she) is not likely to help the XDA community out of the goodness of his/her heart.

Can anyone with the linguistic skills necessary follow up on or help us eliminate this lead?

I have emailed a few root websites informing them of the bounty and seeing if getting some more attention is possible. Android without root is not a fun experience. I'd also challenge my fellow turbo 2 users to find root enthusiasts that may be up for the job.

Just wanted to update this thread: I recently purchased the Motorola X Pure Edition Unlocked. So am checking out of the DT2 thread. I'm sorry but there seems to be no interest in rooting. By the way, Amazon has the X Pure edition on sale for $303.80 right now and Best Buy will match the offer =)

The only reason I bought this phone was for the plastic screen. My Razr finally died from a cracked screen, but worked fine otherwise. This one has been working great since February, besides the ****ty software.

As for the bounty, I assumed everyone in the thread would be notified and required to pay their share. When the developer receives as many shares as they think they'll get (at least within a reasonable time) then the bootloader gets sold to anyone willing to pay whatever the asking price is. Basically giving anyone who set the bounty a high incentive to get the software and install it ASAP. I'm not even into phones, but I check this site at least twice a week, even if I have to Google it all over again.

$1700.00 bounty for root on V(erizon) DROID MOBO 2

Dear Digital DJ and all:

I'm still with you even though I see you bought a Pure Edition TURBO 2 and may be out..

I'm also willing to put up some cash and run the bounty program if Digital DJ no longer has the interest to do it. I've found a company that runs bug bounty programs as a business. Our job is to get the word out and see if we can somehow market the resolution of this mf restriction. As you've mentioned, the hacker user base doesn't seem to be there at any price (up to $1700 anyway).

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital DJ:
Yeah I'm sorry but I have moved on to the Moto X Pure Edition. Pretty much the same phone but unlocked. I haven't rooted it yet as I haven't had the need for root yet. My main reason for rooting is to dump carrier apps but this phone has none and runs like a champ. In my experience, there usually is something that doesn't work on a custom ROM so I wouldn't flash one even if I did root. Best of luck to you DT2 guys!

Still no root for Turbo 2 ?¿?¿?

Hey Turbo 2 crowd.... today is February 3rd, 2017, and as far as I can see here... still no root for the this device, assuming that the owner/user has latest updates to the OS, preventing progress towards root. Am I missing something? Whatever happened to the law in this matter? I thought that in the US of A, all cell phone providers are required to let you own your phone, to include unlocking? I realize that unlocking is not the same as rooting, etc., I am just assuming that the law would stop them from allowing you to have root on your phone. Perhaps comments about cell phone law don't belong in this thread? Just thinking out loud and not appreciating verizon's denying me root access to my own phone.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amateurhack:
The law applies to locking a phone to a particular carrier, and has nothing to do with unlocking a bootloader or allowing someone to root a phone, so the carrier has no obligation to do otherwise. Verizon sees it as a cost for service issue because some customers don't really know what they are doing and have issues with the phone after they root it.

As far as where we are at, dirty cow is still our best bet for obtaining root without a leaked moto/vzw tool to do it. It would be better of you hadn't installed the November security patch (I haven't) but if dirty cow is able to get root on the non-patched phone, it will probably still work on the patched phone with a number of additional steps. The bad news is that I haven't seen it done on a locked (bootloader) device with SElinux enforcing yet. Some devs that are working on it fell that they will be able to get it done eventually.

Of dirty cow works, it will be a long time coming. It's probably more likely that we will get the leaked tool first, and even that is not likely. If you have to have root on Verizon, buy a pixel direct from Google. ?

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amateurhack:
If you have a working boot unlock/root solution for the VZW Droid Turbo 2, it may also work on other current locked Moto phones, and would definitely be worth some money. I would be willing to make a donation to the cause, but whatever method you are using needs to be explained and independently verified. You might get in touch with the Sunshine team for guidance.

Did Verizon just give me the unlock codes?

I posted this on Reddit the other week and haven't gotten any replies yet, so I figured i would post it on XDA.... then i found this sub.

So I had an interesting conversation with a Verizon rep (who was actually pretty knowledgeable) and told him the situation and why I wanted the unlock codes. He agreed that it was stupid to hold back the codes from device owners who would freely wave the warranty. He said he looked through all of their code files and found a bunch of codes for sim unlock or whatever, but nothing stating "Bootloader Unlock Code"....

However, he said he found a random code buried deep in their files that might be what i'm looking for. I have no idea what this is for or what it does, so please don't use it and blame me if your device gets bricked.

Code: 3$450107071177452#5A5932323343504B575A0058543136335300000003AD1D7D7C1182295A7370E3D8337DAA4A450EDD1D1#3849A78220000000000000000000000

Can anyone tell me if this code works, and what exactly it does?
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amateurhack:
Looks like the result you might get from fastboot get oem_unlock_data which is what you give Moto on their device unlocking site right before they tell you your device isn't unlockable. I could be wrong, but I think it's a good guess.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porterhouse21:
unfortunately i tried that on the Motorola Bootloader Unlock page, it just says "PUID Not found in your identifier, please try again." then it says "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking.".... so idk if the code is the oem unlock data or what.

i'm getting tired of this phone and not having root access. I just wish there was a way that we could sign something saying we wave our warranty rights and they just give us the unlock codes.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amateurhack:
There will never be an official bootloader unlock on this phone. I'm certain, based upon all of the feedback we've gotten from various people who have talked to either Verizon or Moto, that there is some contractual agreement between them that prevents it, and it doesn't matter what our reasoning is they just aren't going to give it to us. Our only hope is that either the tool for generating the unlock code is leaked, or that some as yet undiscovered/undeveloped exploit is found and developed into a working solution for our phones. The underlying meaning there being that even of there is an exploit that might work (Dirty Cow, for instance) doesn't mean that someone will be willing or able to do the work necessary to get it to work on our phones. And, as the hardware is now approaching 3 years old, the likelihood of that happening is less than it was when it was new.

When I first got my DT2, I was certain that root would be forthcoming, but I don't think so anymore. It is a really great piece of hardware, and if you need something that's fairly rugged, but also has some decent specs, it's still a great phone. But, if root is more important to you, then going forward you will want to make sure that you only buy phones that are unlockable. Unfortunately that seems to mean that the flagship from Moto/Lenovo is not going to be one of those for now.

Also... From the other thread...

As I understand it, all of the Z2 Force phones that are currently available are carrier locked and locked bootloaders with no way of unlocking them. I seem to remember some of them weren't when they first came out, but that is no longer the case.

Either way, Motorola/Lenovo agreed to the contract, so both are at fault.

And the X Force isn't a current phone, right? Just to be clear.
[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
You're posting in this forum for Moto Force/Droid Turbo (Kinzie). Look around. Go down to the dev folders. My point stands. You bought the wrong Kinzie phone.

OK, for Z2 it's U.S. carriers they are locked. Buy international. I just read a thread where guy easily unlocked 2 of them, but couldn't for T-Mobile.

Man, I'm sorry. I don't know why we are arguing. This is the forum and the thread about the Droid Turbo 2. My statement was about current phones in context of a discussion about the Droid Turbo 2.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
I'm not arguing... You are the one saying the Droid Turbo 2 is not a current phone. Because that is what you're saying, as it's 2015 Kinzie series just like the Moto X Force. (Like an LG G3 is an LG G3, no matter where it's sold.) I'm not arguing with that, I'm just confused what the point is. Look around, this is also the Moto X Force forum. Go down to the dev section.

Droid Turbo 2 Android Development

https://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo-2/development

All the "Kinzie" stuff is there, but it's for the Moto X Force. They are the same phone, except the "Droid Turbo 2" (Verizon's name for THEIR Moto X Force is bootloader locked.

I was making two points, not trying to argue:

1) you can get bootloader unlocked eligible Motorola flagship phones. Just not from Verizon.

2) we're discussing all this in the "Kinzie" forum - Droid Turbo 2/Moto X Force. Same phone, same forum. So, if I point out Moto X Force has free bootloader unlock, TWRP, ROMs, I'm just providing proof for point #1.

Many people don't know Motorola sometimes called their phones different names, depending on region and even carrier. But they're the same phone series. Sometimes even identical FCC ID, identical LTE/CDMA bands, the EXACT SAME PHONE. I gave an example with the US Moto MAXX XT1250 = Droid Turbo XT1254.

You can buy any Motorola phone with eligible unlock bootloader you want, from this country or other countries very easily.

I'm just pointing out facts, educating users. For some reason, I'm not sure why, you don't seem to like that? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.
