[Droid Turbo 2 General] ChazzMatt:
Yes. It's a SCAM.

1) He says he got it from XDA. Well, THIS is the Droid Turbo 2 forum on XDA and it's NOT here. :rolleyes: He wants you to download some "Modaco" file. And he provides a MIRROR. It's the EXACT same link both times -- there's NO mirror. It's malware, I bet.

2) Even for the Nougat ROM portion he says don't bother searching Google, just use the ROM he has posted in THREE PARTS. Sounds like a great way to install malware! He says it's a "custom ROM", but won't even tell what ROM it is. The only custom ROM for Kinze is this

[ROM] [UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 for Kinzie [Feb. 24 2017]

. And if the Droid Turbo 2 bootloader were unlocked, the ROM dev would have to modify the kernel to also work not only with Moto X Force, but also the the Droid Turbo 2. We had to do that with Quark for Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo ROMs when the Droid Turbo bootloader was finally unlocked. Right now, there are NO custom ROMs for the Droid Turbo 2.

3) The comments are very suspicious. The top comments are from people with fake Facebook profiles. Looks like real people who had their Facebook profiles cloned by scammers.

Also when doing a GOOGLE SEARCH, seems every comment has been posted on multiple websites for different ROMs. Look at this comment by "Chris Leiter" a well-dressed guy who seems to be in his mid-40s: "Everything is working properly dude this rom is awesome, my android running very perfect....thanks alot"

NO ONE with THIS phone who unlocked their bootloader and installed a custom ROM would say, "My Android is running very perfect." :rolleyes: You would say, "My Droid Tubo 2..." or "My Turbo 2...".

And no professional looking person like that would write an ungrammatical comment like that on a website.

But that EXACT SAME comment:

[URL="https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Everything+is+working+properly+dude+this+rom+is+awesome%2C+my+android+running+very+perfect....thanks+alot%22&oq=%22Everything+is+working+properly+dude+this+rom+is+awesome%2C+my+android+running+very+perfect....thanks+alot%22&gs_l=serp.3...166451.171887.0.172719.2.2.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1.1.64.serp..2.0.0.nPq0le7Gsxc"] "Everything is working properly dude this rom is awesome, my android running very perfect....thanks alot"

[/URL] has been posted on various sites over and over by these scammers. Even on "Install iOS on Android!" website (which is impossible, by the way).

SAME COMMENT, SAME GUY:

Wow, this "Chris Leiter" has been very busy installing LOTS of Lollipop, Marshmallow, and Nougat ROMS on every phone imaginable, and commented EXACTLY 15 hours ago on most of them! :rolleyes: He even managed to install iOS on his Android phone! (which is impossible) And that's just the first page of search results! It goes on for PAGES.

REALITY CHECK...

Come on. If the bootloader were ever unlocked it would be posted HERE first. You know that! Sunshine team would post here first!

And it's never going to be done unless some team like Sunshine gets involved. It's going to take testing devices, writing a procedure, maybe coding an app. Sunshine unlocked the bootloader for the Verizon Droid Turbo (Quark), so it's possible it can be done. But it's not going to be done by some sketchy guy on a website CLAIMING he got it from this forum! With convenient files he wants you to download!

If you don't use Verizon, you should have gotten other OTHER Kinzie, the Moto X Force, if you care about development.

[*]If you do use Verizon, then you should have gotten the Droid Turbo (Quark) which has bootloader unlocked by Sunshine.
