Verizon locks down all their OEM phones. It's well known. All of them.

Bootloader lock, to be clear. All Verizon LTE phones -- except for Verizon pre-paid phones -- are SIM card unlocked/carrier-unlocked since 2012. But Verizon is very obsessive about locking down bootloaders, even when other carriers' models are unlocked.

Never buy a Verizon phone expecting bootloader unlock unless you have researched and know for sure some dev has found an exploit.

Even then, do not accept OTA update until you have unlocked it.

I am trying to educate you, because it's obvious you know nothing about Verizon phones.

Motorola willingly lets you unlock bootloader, but Verizon refuses to let them on their Verizon branded phones.

WHICH Galaxy S5? A VERIZON Galaxy S5 or some other carrier? AT&T? T-mobile? Because Verizon LOCKS down all their bootloaders.

Now T-mobile S5 is UNLOCKED from the factory. So, when you say "S5" you have to specify which carrier.

You can unlock the bootloader of a Verizon Galaxy S5 with an exploit, just like with the Verizon Droid Turbo. So, you clearly don't know anything about Verizon phones. And guess WHEN the bootloader unlock arrived for the Verizon Galaxy S5? March 2016.

Complete Noob

Hi everyone, noob level zero here. I have successfully unlock my droid turbo just now paying $25. I never once unlock, root or mess around with any phone up until now. What is the easiest way to root and install TWRP without using PC. We only have 1 computer at home and mom doesn't want us to install anything on it other than school related software. Thank you everyone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Some users:

"Can you unlock Droid Turbo XT1254 bootloader, root, install TWRP for FREE without Sunshine?"

"No."

"OK, can you unlock the bootloader of the Droid Turbo, root, install TWRP without paying for Sunshine?"

"No, rearranging the words of the question doesn't change the answer."

"OK, what about Mofo Root, King Root, Burger King, Roto-Rooter...?"

"No."

Starts NEW THREAD...

"Can you unlock Droid Turbo XT1254 bootloader, root, install TWRP for FREE without Sunshine?"

"No. Starting a new thread doesn't change the answer."

Resurrects a VERY OLD THREAD...

"OK, can you unlock the bootloader of the Droid Turbo, root, install TWRP without paying for Sunshine?"

"No, asking in a thread we haven't read for a year doesn't magically change the answer."

Verizon releases "security update" OTA. Users RUSH to install it, hoping it will turn their Droid Turbo into a unicorn. Instead it blocks the Sunshine exploit so their bootloaders are locked down more than ever.

"Uh, is there a way for Sunshine to work with the new update? I'm ready to pay now!"

"No. You had six months."

Repeat, asking again, asking in old threads, asking in new threads..

Then Sunshine performs a miracle and finds another exploit!

Guess what?

"I decided I don't want to pay. Can you unlock Droid Turbo XT1254 bootloader, root, install TWRP for FREE without Sunshine?"
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
I recommend that you use this method when your mom isn't home, and then just uninstall everything when you're done: http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684. Or just tell her you want to be a computer science major, and that the stuff is school related :). You only need the computer up until you get TWRP installed. Everything else that you do after that doesn't need it.

However, if you absolutely cannot use a computer, you can do this, although I do not recommend it:

1. Google Kingroot, download, install it onto your phone and use it to root your phone. Be aware that Kingroot is developed by a Chinese company, and part of their rooting process involves sending lots of personal info to them for reasons that aren't entirely clear. There is some debate over how legit they are, but their root method should work on a phone with an unlocked bootloader.

2. Once you have root, install TWRP manager from the play store, and use it to install TWRP for the Moto MAXX (Droid Turbo isn't an option, but Moto MAXX is the same phone).

3. Power off your phone and power it back on while holding volume down to get to the bootloader menu.

4. Select Recovery to boot into TWRP. TWRP will now be permanent, and you can boot your phone normally again.

5. Uninstall Kingroot.

6. Download this to your phone and install it using TWRP: http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-su4tl-49-100-stock-t3390041. This will remove all of the Kingroot files from your phone that probably were left on it after you uninstalled it.

7. Download this to your phone and install it using TWRP: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip

You should now have a rooted, TWRP-equipped phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mrkhigh:
Fwiw i flashed recovery via an app. I did it out of sheer laziness.

I know it's frowned upon but it has never failed me on multiple devices.

That said minimal adb and fastboot is cake to use.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Flashify or what? I thought Flashify needed root to work. Which app did you use?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
That's exactly what I suggested in my previous post...

And yes, minimal adb and fastboot are easy to use, but they are much harder to use when you cannot use a computer.

Also, the reason I recommend against the procedure that I posted is because of the use of sketchy Kingroot, not the TWRP flash method. I've used TWRP manager several times without issue to flash TWRP on my device.

Ideally, one would use Sunshine's temp root to remove Kingroot from the equation, but the stupids who gave the Sunshine team **** removed that option from the table.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Oh, so he got temp root from somewhere, then flashed TWRP via TWRP Manager, which requires root like Flashify. That was where I was confused, how he flashed TWRP without root. He just left that part out.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mrkhigh:
More or less yeah. I think I used flashify or rashr on this device.

Back then the order was:

1: kingroot

2:sunshine

3:flashify

Now you'd do it in order of 2,1,3...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Claps1775:
You do not need to use KingRoot at all anymore.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mrkhigh:
Temp root no longer functions outside of sunshine. If you desire to not use a computer you will need to use kingroot.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] eardz:
Hi guys, I can't believe how wonderfully smooth my phone now running cm13. I was able to root without using PC thanks to KingRoot and Super Sume pro. I have zero regret spending $25 for sunshine considering how bad my droid turbo was before. Goodbye to constant screen off problem and long auto system update when starting. I will never miss all the pre installed boatload apps. I'm so happy, really I'm. Thank you CyanogenMod, sunshine, KingRoot, supersume, flashify, TWRP and XDA.:o

Actually, I was in a hurry after purchasing a 25USD AMAZON GIFT CARD(the dealer gave me the code just) .one of my friend gave me the incomplete advice to unlock the Boot loader and pay sunshine via gift card.

I put card code but sunshine do not accept it. So I was in a doubt about acceptance of code and was in a fear that retailer may not use the card instead.

However, in short now I'm unlocked and ready to flash Twrp....

Can you use Sunshine on a device running one of com-freak's moforoot system images?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
No. For sunshine to work, you need to have the bootloader that corresponds to SU4TL-44 or -49. If you're still using moforoot, your bootloader is older than that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] crimsonfir3:
I am trying to use sunshine to unlock my phone but it keeps saying I am on incompatible firmware even though I am on SU4TL-49. For the record, I tried flashing to SU4TL-44 first(didn't knew then that Sunshine already supports 49), but I don't think that worked since its still showing firmware as 49 in the settings.

Can the resident Sunshine expert shed some light on this ?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Did you re-flash ALL of SUTL-49? In the past, Sunshine has failed because the firmware was not complete one version of firmware or the other. For instance, when you flashed SULT-44, your bootloader remained "49" (you can't downgrade bootloaders).

Reading your last sentence it sounds like you are still in that mixed state of affairs. You tried to flash ''44" and you are half and half. You need to re-flash SUTL-49 at this point.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] crimsonfir3:
Here's what I did:

1)Flashed 44 using the guide given in the other thread. I know it worked because when I restarted the phone, it was a factory reset.

2)Used Sunshine which didn't work. Then I checked the firmware and realized it was still 49.

3)Did some research and realized that I did not need to have flashed 44 since Sunshine works 49 too now.

4)Tried a factory reset from fastboot, tried sunshine again, didn't work.

Now I am going to try to properly flash 49 again using RSD lite and hopefully it will work. Thanks for your quick response. I feel like an idiot for having misread the OP in the other thread.

edit: Happy to report that worked, once again thanks.

Yes, his other posts are very hackish. These two below are about an AT&T update, and while there's nothing wrong about them, it shows he might investigate/attempt something like that on the Sunshine apk just to see if he could? ;)

__________

[MENTION=2881859]hellrazer1976[/MENTION], you don't necessarily need a "dev phone" to unlock bootloader/and or root, install custom ROMs. Look here on XDA. There are TONS of carrier phones on XDA!

Plus, many phones like LG don't require a bootloader to be unlocked to root and install ROMs (at least the AT&T versions don't). Or many carrier phones are already unlocked or bootloader unlocked on request by the manufacturer. (It's Verizon that prevents Motorola from doing that.) And there are unlocked carrier phones from other countries (like Canada, etc) that can be used on AT&T and T-mobile, and are easily rooted/custom ROMs installed. Plenty of options.

You can buy a "carrier" phone -- just don't buy a VERIZON phone. Anyone who buys a Verizon phone knows what they are getting -- or should. Long known Verizon strongly locks down their bootloaders. Thanks to devs like Sunshine team, they provide ways to Verizon phone owners to join the XDA community. But there are other choices besides Verizon phones, even if you need to stay on Verizon.

But first, let's talk about leaving control-freak Verizon...

1) Since you posted about AT&T you easily buy AT&T-branded phones like LG G3, LG G4. Those phones can be rooted, TWRP installed, custom ROMS all without unlocking the bootloader.

2) Many T-mobile phones have unlocked bootloaders, and they have LTE bands totally compatible not only with T-mobile but also AT&T (due to roaming agreements).

3) You can buy network unlocked phones from other countries, use them on AT&T and partake of all the goodies here on XDA. I own three Moto XT1225, the "international" version of the Droid Turbo XT1254. Bought 2 of them on eBay from Puerto Rico (Claro phones, but network unlocked by the dealer) and 1 through help of an XDA member in Mexico ("factory" phone straight off Motorola Mexico website; he re-shipped it to me). Bootloader easily unlocked, for free with code from Motorola. The XT1225 has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17 -- plus tons of HSPA bands. Same exact hardware as the 64GB Droid Turbo, but perfect AT&T phone (AT&T uses LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 17).

The XT1225 and the XT1250 (exact clone of the XT1254, including same FCC ID and all Verizon radio bands) both have free bootloader unlock via code given by Motorola.

Now for people who need phones that work on Verizon...

For people who are stuck on Verizon due to geography, and can't use AT&T or T-mobile, then yeah your options are more limited. You can buy phones like the Moto XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx, which work on Verizon. But they are not always easy to find on Swappa, eBay, Amazon. A few months ago Jet and Amazon was selling them by the truckload, but I haven't seen them in awhile.

After that, they yeah there's the "dev" phones like Google's Nexus and Pixel and some limited Motorola phones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] beaups:
There are no "scripts" in SunShine and Avast can't modify SunShine nor trigger what your device did. You tried, failed, and are now banned.
