I am using CF stock mod... So you are saying I should use this twrp anyway?

I cannot get the modem to install I unzipped it but it's not giving me an option to install it in twrp mod wth?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
It is not a flashable zip. Extract the zip to /sdcard/TWRP/backups/[your phone's serial number]. Then boot the modded twrp, select restore, and restore the backup.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Are you using a stock or stock-based SU4TL-44 firmware? If so, it could be that it doesn't play well with the new modem files. I can confirm that they work just fine on RR, but VoLTE never worked on that rom anyway.

You can flash the SU4TL-44 modem back if you want. Just download the full firmware here:http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=Droid Turbo/Firmware/VRZ_XT1254_SU4TL-44_44_CFC.xml.zip.

Extract radio.img and flash it with fastboot using the command "fastboot flash radio radio.img."

Or if you can find someone still on SU4TL-44 to make you a TWRP backup of their modem, you can restore it the same way as this one.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gangrenius:
I'm using computer freaks stock mod rom.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Well unless CF is extremely fast at updating things, and you are extremely fast at flashing his updates, I'd be willing to bet that it uses SU4TL-44 as a base.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gangrenius:
U are right... So I should just restore my old modem right? I don't care much for video calling but... What do u think
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
I would restore the old modem if I were you. I don't notice any improvement from the new version, and I haven't read about anyone else noticing a difference either. Once CF updates to SU4TL-49, you can try the new modem again.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] LucaS919:
If I were to buy a new Turbo now, would it come with this update already installed?

Root/Unlock at a budget was my whole purpose for looking at this phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
If you buy one secondhand, from say Swappa, probably not. But if you were to buy it from Verizon, the salesperson may (or may not) update it for you, before you can get your hands on it. Also, the longer that you wait, the greater the chance is that you'll get one that's updated.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
If you buy it new, you won't be able to get it from a Verizon store. They will ship it to you. It will not be updated to the latest version because they would have to open the package in order to do that, and then it would not be new. The update is too new for it to be factory installed, so if you buy it within the next month or so, you should be fine.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
Thanks for that updated scenario, it's been so long since I've been in a store that I didn't even think that it wouldn't be available there.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Yeah, I don't think they actually keep phones there anymore unless it's the latest flagship. Need to make a warranty claim? They'll send you to a website. Want a new phone? Website. Problem with your phone? Website, or phone number.

There's also the fact that a bunch of their employees are currently on strike, so that might put a damper on in-person service as well.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
LOL, I did't even know that....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pgzerwer:
The strike is only by the unionized workers that do the hard wire stuff; wireless employees are not part of the strike.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] quantum tao:
They are striking in front of wireless stores
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] golgothagecko:
Sorry, this may be a dumb question. I just logged in because my phone downloaded this update from Verizon and now it reboots in TWRP. How do I get to to either stop rebooting into TWRP (it's trying to update) or apply the update through TWRP?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] BenHolliday:
I'm in the same boat

Edit: After 3 times it said there was an error with the update and no changes were made.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] golgothagecko:
Ok, phone is trying to download the update again after it failed. So how do I get TWRP to install this update once it comes in OTA?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=phone+reboots+ota+update+twrp
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pastorbennett:
From what I understand, yes. I had been having a lot of issues with calls dropping and not connecting when Advanced Calling was turned on. At first I thought it was a bad SIM card, but after talking to an employee in my local Verizon store, he said that the Turbo had some issues with Advanced Calling, and that a patch was coming out soon. That was about 2 weeks ago, and this patch is supposed to fix those issues.

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Enable under Advanced Calling in settings. It's working fine for me.

It's because you don't have the stock recovery installed. Use TWRP to restart into the bootloader, then you can flash the stock recovery. You can also use the Start menu option to boot the phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Mykalmunlight:
I think I should stop trying to help, I'm not very good at it[emoji55] [emoji19]
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] golgothagecko:
Clear as mud. It still doesn't address the basic question - what is the recommended way to flash this update with TWRP already installed? I don't want to have to remove TWRP, install a different recovery menu, etc. I'd rather just let the phone boot into TWRP and install the update from there. Is that not possible?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Mykalmunlight:
Not currently.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pastorbennett:
You're doing just fine. I've learned that some people need a little more detail before they have their "aha moment." Then again, some never get there no matter how much detail you provide.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

You can't install the update with TWRP on your phone. You'd need a complete system backup from someone who's successfully flashed the update. It would mean uploading a massive file.

Flashing back to stock recovery and then reinstalling TWRP after taking the update takes a few minutes, compared to the time it would take for someone to create a TWRP backup, zip it, and upload it. I doubt you're going to find someone who's gracious enough to do that for you.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] golgothagecko:
Thanks, that helps clear it up!

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Thanks, that helps clear it up! Did I miss the step by steps to do that (flash back to recovery, install OTA, and then reinstall TWRP)?

"I get to ask the questions. I've found you look a lot smarter asking the questions than dumbly not answering."*
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Making a version of this update that would be TWRP flashable would involve me creating image files of every updated partition post-OTA (and learning how to do that for some of them), packaging them into a flashable zip and uploading it. That's a project I'm not willing to tackle just because you don't want to take 5 seconds to put the stock recovery menu on there and 5 more seconds to replace it with TWRP when you're done. However, once Verizon releases the full SU4TL-49 firmware (not the OTA update package), this process will be much easier, and I'll consider putting that up here in a flashable form if no one else does first.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] computerfreek274:
Updated my Unlocked ROM to .49 and a TWRP flashable radio pack. ready for download see my OP for more info.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:

Literally the same thing happened to me.

How do I successfully apply the update?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
See new and improved OP
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] therapist1:
Okay. How exactly do I flash the stock recovery back, and (after the update), how do I get TWRP back?

(( My phone is already rooted + bootloader unlocked via sunshine method. I followed that guide because it was clear and simple, but I don't know how to "flash stock recovery back". If someone could explain how, that would be really helpful, and I'm sure it would help others as well. Thanks! ))
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gangrenius:

Also, TheSt33v gives another option in the 2nd post on that same thread of how to flash the stock recovery. Honestly, I had no idea you could flash the stock recovery from TWRP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] KOAO:
Since I am on the stock rom, would flashing the normal recovery allow me to accept the OTA and not erase my data?

On the OnePlusTwo , usually someone would get the update and make a variant that is flashable with root and unlocked bootloader, which is why Im asking.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Strife89:
Yes. Just make sure that you also reflash the stock ROM itself if you've rooted or otherwise modified /system.

I spent the afternoon doing all of that (plus full backups before certain steps, just to be safe), and the update was successfully applied without me losing any data.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] KOAO:
What is that other flashable modem for? Should I flash that or just keep the one from the stock rom?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
Has anyone else noticed that the My Verizon app, which is needed for Advanced Calling to work, got an update today? Conspiracy theory anyone? ??
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] therapist1:
So I followed the steps (flashed stock ROM, and flashed the stock recovery (the ones linked in the "improved OP")).

Right before I rebooted, TWRP notified me that my ROM wasn't rooted, and gave me the option to root is (so I hit "yes"/"root", so I could flash TWRP back later).

However, I tried applying the update 3x, and it said "there was an error / update could not be applied" (even though I have 100% stock ROM and 100% stock recovery).

Is this because I'm rooted, or ?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Batttie:
Yes
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] therapist1:
Ty. The update appears to be working (as in, it's not failing after 15 seconds)... hopefully this works

---------- Post added at 06:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 AM ----------

Worked! Thanks

PRO-TIP TO EVERYONE SINCE "IMPROVED OP" DOESN'T SAY IT: When TWRP prompts you to boot your newly-flashed stock ROM, DO NOT DO IT.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] therapist1:
After this update, my Google keyboard no longer has the Holo Dark theme (which was GREAT for AMOLED screens, since "Material Dark" is just gray and stupidly wastes battery by illuminating unnecessary pixels).

How can I get my Holo Dark theme back, or at least, down-grade google keyboard to an old version?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] checo79:
i'm on stock rom(only remove verizon app)

no rooot

bl unlocked

i flash stock recovery but i have same error..."there was an error / update could not be applied"
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gangrenius:
I block access to this app with a firewall! I personally have seen them use the app to reactivate an app on my gf turbo! It also asked me for root access one time I had to deny it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] quantum tao:
Anyone that installed the modem backup originally posted should flash the new one posted by CF. MY WiFi pings were way up and till I flashed the CF version.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
The keyboard is updated, go into it's settings and change it to Material Dark.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Chyron8472:
Since the update doesn't seem to do anything worthwhile, I'd rather just block it.

WHat do you guys recommend as the best way to block OTA updates for a rooted Turbo?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] checo79:
1-not make

2-ok

3-ok

4-ok

5-ok

6-ok

7-not make reste

8-ok

9-ok apperas but error on flash

so i block the update and wiat mm flashable zip...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Marky__Mark:
How do you backup the modem? I dont have that option and im on the latest TWRP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
You need the modded version that was mentioned in the OP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Looks like you probably need to do a factory reset then. Also, you'll probably need to be on SU4TL-49 before you can take the MM OTA, so if you don't figure it out now, you'll probably have to figure it out later.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Marky__Mark:
Thanks. Not sure all that will be worth it for running cm12.1. I read mixed reviews on 49 vs 44.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Try this: when you see the OTA notification, long press on it and go to app info. That should tell you the name of the app responsible for it. Then you can use Titanium Backup to freeze that app.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
I use RR M, and I noticed absolutely no performance difference between the modems. If anything, the already-bad battery drain was a little worse. I restored the old modem.

The modded version is worth getting though. It's made by the same guy who makes the official version, and it adds useful features like backup/restore modem, backup/restore logo (the splash screen when you first power on your phone that some people like to customize) and read NTFS-formatted USB OTG.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Marky__Mark:
Thats what i heard. Thanks for your input.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] checo79:
but when mm goes out if i want to flash whit twrp a zip file?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Someone will make that eventually, but it will take some time. If you want MM from day 1, you'll need to be on SU4TL-49. It's up to you.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] CrazyRussianXDA:
Freeze Motorola Update Services
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] checo79:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GeekDragon:
I unlocked and rooted my Turbo last night, dang that was easy. Thank you TheST33v!! I needed root to back up some specific apps that aren't available anymore because Symantec royally screwed up Touchdown and a few other hard to get apps. Before my wife accidentally upgrades her Turbo I want to unlock it for use in the future. My question is can I stop after Section 1 - Unlocking the Bootloader in TheST33v's unlock and rooting guide and just apply the upgrade to her phone at this point? I don't need to worry about Section 0 since everything is fine at Step 2 of this section. Her typical use is calling, texting, word games and Facebooking so no real need to put a different recovery manager on her phone.

The main reason for unlocking the bootloader is to have the ability in the future to use the phone as I see fit. I missed the unlocking point with her Droid Incredible and that was a pain to get unlock after she applied an upgrade. It's now running CM10 and using it as a remote control for our OSMC video server (my work is tied heavily to my phone and when I shut down I leave my phone in the other room!).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pastorbennett:
I can confirm that it certainly is a worthwhile update, as it fixes an issue with Advanced Calling (VoLTE).

I had been having issues for well over a month. Calls would randomly drop, fail to connect, and incoming calls were often missed, and I only knew I had missed a call if the caller left a voicemail.

Because of these issues, I visited my local Verizon store, suspecting the SIM card. The rep provided me with a new card, but suggested that I disable Advanced Calling, since there were some known bugs for certain users with the feature on the Turbo and Turbo 2. He also said that Verizon would be pushing out an update in the near future. With the new SIM card, the issues persisted. Once I disabled Advanced Calling, the issues were immediately resolved.

That was two weeks ago. Since taking the update yesterday, I've once again enabled Advanced Calling, and so far I haven't had any issues.

As to blocking the OTA, you won't be able to take it if you're rooted, so you can just disable the notifications, or use a 3rd party app like Titanium Backup to freeze the update service.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] computerfreek274:
I agree the new modem drivers are great in combo with the update on my updated 1.3.5 .49 based rom. Everything has been great for the last 24 hours now advanced calling is working fantastic where I was not able to make calls before unless I had it off.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Yep, you can do that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] iroot84:
I'm having an issue here. I have/had an unlocked bootloader and root, and performed the steps as advised, but the update states that it fails every time after the final reboot finishes and all of the apps initialize. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Has anyone said screw restoration of stock recovery and trying to flash this w twrp (my computer shat out so I can't fastboot twrp back onto the phone)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Grynch13:
You can do all this without a computer just install the stock lollipop with twrp. Then flash recovery.IMG from twrp do not root. Restart system take update. Then use sunshine apk to gain temp root install and run flashify.apk from play store once temp root is achieved use flashify to flash twrp back as your recovery. Done that's how I did it no computer or fastboot required
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
I'd like to just keep twrp is it doable?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Grynch13:
From what I understand to make just a twrp zip file of the update would take forever so know one wants to do it because it only takes a few minutes to install stock recovery and then re install twrp so there won't be anything until full mm comes out.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RLShiftyDoggit:
Seems legit lol

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] iroot84:
I noticed the stock rom doesn't pass the signature check. Is that an issue for doing the OTA?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] syphix:
I've successfully gotten updated to 49, added my mods (root, xposed, volume boost, boot animation, ad away...), but I'm curious as to what I need to do once Marshmallow gets released to take the OTA. I have a bootloader flashable copy to revert to 44. But I can't use that now, can I? I can't jump back to 44 stock and take two OTA's to get to Marshmallow since the bootloader was updated with 49...right?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pastorbennett:
Are you rooted, have you installed xposed framework, or have you made any mods to any files in the /system folder, such as build.prop? This will cause the I update to fail every time
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] iroot84:
I had/have root. I flashed both the zip and image in the thread and the PTA would fail.

The only system level mod I can think of is xmod games? I have SuperSU and flashify installed too, but other than that it's all stock apps. I also noticed that I still seemed to have root access even after flashing the images here.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] syphix:
SuperSu is a system addition (for root) and will cause OTA's to fail.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] iroot84:
One thing to note, I did flash the system etc in one attempt via twerp and still to no access.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pastorbennett:
You've got two options - flash a pure stock system image, or try the process I outlined here: http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/enable-su4tl-49-stock-tethering-to-t3380911

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] iroot84:
Since you took the time to reply I wanted to provide an update. Admittedly I wasn't paying close enough attention before and during the OP instructions I was acidentally installing SuperSU in TWRP since you have to hit the small button for "Do not Install". Once I did this I was able to do the OTA update without any issues. Thanks for the help and patience.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Thanks. I added that to the OP to prevent further mistakes.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] iroot84:
The only issue I have now is Google play store began crashing constantly. It started as soon as I booted from fresh install of the images. I had to keep opening it to get my apps to update and after clearing the app cache it seemed to stabilize for a while, but began crashing again.

Any suggestions?
