And soon there'll be custom ROM based on this.

Unlock your bootloaders via Sunshine before flashing this OTA or you may never be able to do so.

You can even install it via TWRP custom recovery from the link above.

ChazzMatt, what do you think about those guys with bricks? They tell phone is stock 100%, but why brick then? Maybe Monday we will have clearer view...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Moto Maxx XT1225 got Marshmallow back in July 2016.

For the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250, wait until the full image (not just the OTA) is released. You can flash that over the XT1250 as it's a clone of the XT1254.

Or just wait for the debloated ROM, and you can flash that over XT1250.

EDIT: TWRP FLASHABLE DEBLOATED VERIZON 6.0.1 ROM is here:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Sparksys:
My phone became so slow after the update

Does anyone experience the same?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] helobubba88:
Mine's actually faster. Give it a day to settle in (app caching). If it's still slow consider clearing the system cache or doing a factory reset.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Here's your choices already posted here on XDA. Best to unlock your bootloader via Sunshine and flash or you may never be able to unlock your bootloader later. The TWRP flashable ones require unlocked bootloader, of course.

You can go to those threads and ask questions. Be sure to read the OP as it has installation instructions.

Go ahead and download SuperSU from the attached file at bottom of this post. It's an older version of SuperSu but works well on the Quark Motorola Marshmallow ROM. You can always update to newer version later.

BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651

Attached to this bottom of this post or download from here:

https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/

Flash this version initially. You can update to newer version later. (People had problems flashing the very newest SuperSu for initial root, but this version works good. Again, you can update to newer version later, after you gain root.)

_______

BONUS TIP - SuperSu Setting

After you reboot, go into SuperSu settings and UNcheck this box. Mount namespace separation.

Uncheck that. Disable that. Then, reboot.

If it's enabled it will conflict with Titanium Backup which you will use at some point, or should. And you will have no idea why Titanium Backup is saying you are out of space, when you are not -- but it's due to this setting in SuperSu! ;)

Ah. Yes, my bricked handset was encrypted. Wow. How could they omit testing that ? !
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zys52712:
A ton of people whose phones were bricked also said that their phones were encrypted.

(on the private forums)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] limeytim:
Edit: To rub salt in the wound they are censoring news about the bricking from the verizon community forum.

Just got off the phone with VZ's 2nd Tier support. They are not accepting any responsibility for the OTA (and even had the gall to claim it was pushed by Motorola) and will not replace bricked devices. The stated position was that since the OTA works for some of the handsets then it's OK. Shockingly poor customer service.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] koftheworld:
If was technically a moto soak and not general release then they might right. Regardless the phone will be fine when the full rom it released. What you do in the meantime though...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] limeytim:
It seems like you saying that it will eventually be possible to recover these bricked handsets, yes ? I was under the impression that it won't take a flash of any kind, since the Motorola tool aborts after 10%. VZ are not going to replace bricked handsets. If I know I can recover then I will probably just use my old S3 until then. Another thought is to buy used handset off ebay or somewhere. All I know is that I'm done with buying carrier supplied handsets... never again.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
That's correct. Think of it this way. You flash an update and the flash fails somewhere along the line. Then you try to flash something from the previous version (which as of right now is what the Motorola tool is trying to do), and it fails. The reason for that failure is because the new bootloader that you just flashed is rejecting it, because that's what locked bootloaders do. They reject all flashes except for the signed images that they were designed for. When Verizon releases the full firmware package for the official marshmallow update, your new marshmallow bootloader will accept these images because the version is newer than what is on there.

Idea: someone with a bricked phone should try using fastboot to wipe data and then flash the images that are in the TWRP package that I posted. That might work, especially since rumor has it that most of the bricked phones had encrypted data partitions.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Nido221:
I know very well the pain of bricked device...

Stv33 you are great and a hope for the affected people..

Keep it up the good work...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] chinosmt:
Sorry sir, but, how do I know if I have an ecncrypted data partition?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
If you ever went into security settings and selected the encryption option, your data partition is encrypted. If you did not do this, it is not.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Einsteindks:
OK, can't even begin to lay out the steps taken, BUT, the Beta did ultimately root the update. MUCH trial-and-error. Running stock, rooted Marshmallow, with a pure system nandroid in backup. Good luck all! Vzw really screwed the pooch on this one!

You can only see the soak forums if you are included in the soak test.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Because we KNOW this specific version (SuperSu Beta 2.62)works for Motorola Marshmallow for initial root, whereas newer versions don't.

The sibling Quark XT1225 has had the same Motorola Marshmallow since July.

We found what works and stuck with it . After initial root you can update your newer version.

Maybe I misread one of your earlier posts, I was under the impression that you were apart of the Soak Test. If Moto releases the firmware for the soak, you can reflash via fastboot and should be good.

That's pretty great.

"We're just gonna make you guys wait a couple months for an O/S upgrade. Hang tight."

- Jan/Feb rolls around, BR gets MM with no apparent issues

"Still testing, wouldn't want our valued customers to encounter any bugs, right?"

- six months later, WiFi certification shows up

"Uhhh still pending, almost finished, just wait a bit longer!"

- five months later, update is finally released and soft-bricks encrypted devices due to lack of the most basic testing

"Dude no, it's totally Motorola's fault, they pushed it without giving us a chance to test it!"

Just absolutely stunning.

It does make you wonder at the level of incompetence required to take the perfectly-functional global Motorola 6.0.1 firmware, add little more than VoLTE and a handful of bloat, and manage to break something completely unrelated.

At least by the sound of it, someone did eventually figure out that this could turn into PR nastiness. Free overnight there and back, too, pretty generous.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] arbarnhart:
I thought I was bricked this morning. I got 16 software updates overnight and I have been trying all sorts of things since I upgraded last weekend, so I decided to do a power cycle. Maybe I was just really impatient, but I don't think so. It stayed at the initial M for a very long time. I powered off and on again; same thing. I tried a third time, but this time I set it aside intending to give it much more time. Within a short time, I heard the music as it came back up. I am over 90% certain that happened in far less time than I gave it on the first try. I am not going to try again to confirm that though.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] markbilek:
So, have we confirmed that this has moved from soak to in the wild? Has anyone who is not in the soak, in the USA and still on Verizon getting this update OTA?

markbilek
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] limeytim:
Yes it is in the wild, and it is bricking encrypted handsets.

I am not in Motorola SOAK, am in USA, on Verizon, my handset was 100% stock, encrypted. It got an OTA from Verizon on Saturday morning and then was stuck in fastboot and not recoverable.

VZ have also posted links to the new software on their community forum. They are not yet admitting that there is a problem.

One possible twist, but I do not think this makes any difference : I used to be a VZ employee, and my handset is one of the employee branded ones, it has a red bezel and serial number surrounding the rear camera. Other than that I believe it's the same as non-employee handsets.

In other news, I had contacted Motorola about this, and this morning I received a replacement handset directly from them, despite me not being part of the SOAK test. It seems Motorola understand the value of protecting their brand reputation, and have stepped up above and beyond anything I expected. Truly impressive. As for VZ, words fail me. This is a relatively simple screw-up that I expect could be fixed fairly easily, but so far they seem to be more interested in sweeping it under the carpet. My lesson learned is that I can never again buy a handset from a carrier, perhaps with the exception of iphones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] markbilek:
Where can someone download to install the update? (From Moto or Verizon only) I am required to keep phone stock and boatloader locked.

markbilek
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] limeytim:
After my experience, i.e. VZ not standing behind their update if it bricks your phone, my advice is to not update your phone. Certainly do NOT update it if the handset is encrypted.

But if you are feeling brave https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/droid-turbo-update/
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zys52712:
I don't think they're actually pushing out the update at this point, they still haven't fixed the update failed issue.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] limeytim:
Well in the last hour I've had a notification on my replacement handset to take the OTA. So it seems it is still being pushed.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] radon222:
Just wondering. I'm assuming they sent out Refurb units. Are you sure the OTA that is being pushed is the MM update and not just a more recent L update than what was burned on the phone when it was put in the box?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] limeytim:
I'n not 100% sure. I think it's the same release that VZ had my try to restore to my bricked handset, which I believe is the release that bricked it in the first place. But when I look at that VZ community post it is a different version. I'm not installing anything until there is a much clearer picture.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] radon222:
If the download is over a 1GB you'll know ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
This is the OTA package straight from Verizon: http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/development/ota-official-marshmallow-build-mcg24-t3512813

If you install it using the stock recovery menu's "install update from sdcard" option, you can apply it without any sort of modification or trickery. Your phone will still be 100% official afterwards (assuming it survives the process of course).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Septfox:
Just out of curiosity, did they send you an Employee Edition handset back? If so, is it yours with a new/reflashed mainboard (and so same serial number on the camera bezel), or a different one?

I suppose it doesn't matter much in the end, but I'm interested to see how they're "fixing" the phones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
honestly, in my hand is the 3rd Employee Edition I have been given from Motorola. It is always a different serial number when they swap them. they never fix the unit you have and return it. mind you, i never had to have one repaired or swapped bc of encryption, but their process is pretty much replace, refurb.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] djlaz1818:
For those who have taken the upgrade, has anyone noticed cell standby being crazy high? Its killing the battery. If so, any idea how to correct?

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] radon222:
Yes and no! [emoji49]
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Sparksys:
After the update

Anybody noticed super laggy notification drawer?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Well known cell standby is high with Marshmallow. If you installed any of the custom Quark Marshmallow ROMs available since February 2016, been discussed thoroughly. You're late to the party. :rolleyes:

The only real solution is to install Xposed framework and use a module called Smart Network, where you can limit your radio to "2G" (or "3G") when the display is off. When the display turns back on you will then jump to LTE (4G), but while you are not using your phone (display is off) your radio will use less battery on 2G or 3G signal. You will still get texts/emails, Facebook notifications even on "slower" network speed with the display off.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
The official marshmallow is actually the only post-lollipop rom I've used that doesn't give me huge cell standby drain. I get maybe 4% from it. Every other marshmallow or nougat rom I've used gives me anywhere from 25% to 40%.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] djlaz1818:
Thanks to all for the responses. Is it possible to flash the OTA file for 6.0.1 on top of my current 6.0.1 install for a fresh take - or will the OTA only flash on top of stock 5.1.1?

Thanks again!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
The OTA will only flash if you are running 100% stock SU4TL-49. Recovery image included. The TWRP flashable package that I posted, however, can be flashed over whatever you want. A data wipe post-install is recommended.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] djlaz1818:
Thanks (and that may be my next step) But just to clarify, if I have stock 6.0.1 and just want to flash stock 6.0.1 on top of that just to see if it tweaks something, that should work, right? (I originally flashed stock 6.0.1 over stock 5.1.1).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
With the TWRP version, yes.

If you have developer options on then try turning animator duration scale to off.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Or at least a lot shorter time. These are my settings. All three "scale" settings are faster than stock.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] limeytim:
The replacement is an employee edition (red bezel). It's a completely different phone, I had the new one in my hand before I sent the old one back. I didn't look at the serial numbers, doubt they would be the same.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kitcostantino:
they ship them to mexico for rework in my best estimation. i have had 3 experiences with moto repair, and all 3 times, that seemed to be what was going on. they never fix the one you send and return it. i had a developer edition droid maxx they couldnt fix bc they didnt have another one. just needed a charge port. after it was all said and done, i had a EE Droid Turbo (which i have had repaired (replaced) twice. $125 aint bad. ;)

the point is once you mail it in, they have almost no way to find "your phone". thats why they always swap and never actually fix. in the case of my droid maxx dev edution, they gave me a $700 phone instead of fixing a $15 problem.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kereams:
I tried this last night with the Verizon windows software after doing a factory reset to the .49 version and it will not update. It says you're at the latest version, just like the OTA check does. My guess is they're not pushing via USB either.

You can flash it from here. Someone else in your same situation did.
