So, I am going to assume you are not a developer. Correct me if this is an incorrect statement. But lets just calculate out the hourly rate that these guys get paid, it really is not that much. Why ?? Well, they still have to pay taxes on this income and they have to have devices, that most of them purchase, to test this out on. They could I suppose get people to volunteer to possibly destroy their devices while their testing this all out, but that is not likely. Also, no one seems to have an issue paying 25.00 for a decent dinner for the family, but scoff at the idea of paying that for an application that will essentially give you a developer edition device. Now, a lot of people will not drop the money for a developer edition device, if one is available, but love to have root and prefer an unlocked bootloader. If I go to anyone, and I mean anyone and say to them I will give them a completely unlocked device, including an unlocked bootloader for 25.00, they will do it if they are into the rooting community.

So, here is my opinion. I understand what you are saying, but look at what you are getting. Also, even a new device on contract that is locked you cannot get for 25.00 and yes, maybe you can buy a locked Droid Turbo for 100.00, but it is locked. Not a whole lot of options with that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
So, pretend it's $125 instead of $100. Factor in the bootloader unlock cost.

Comparable smartphones (same specs, same generation, from 2014 or even 2015 -- 1440p, 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 805 or newer) are more than $100. You know why? Because they can be easily rooted and custom ROMs installed to re-new them like a current device. The reason the Droid Turbo is artificially low is because it has a locked bootloader.

Nexus 6 has the same specs, as does the other Quarks.

What's the going price on a Nexus 6? OH, THAT'S RIGHT -- THE BOOTLOADER CAN BE UNLOCKED.

32GB Nexus 6

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=9355&_nkw=nexus 6&_dcat=9355&Storage%20Capacity=32GB

Look up the price of an XT1250 or XT1225, the Quarks with the easily unlocked bootloaders. :p XT1250 is $180 - $215. It's EXACTLY IDENTICAL to the XT1254. Same FCC ID, same radio bands. Much more than the Droid Turbo. They hold their value because they aren't crippled by Verizon.

32GB XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx (same exact phone as the XT1254 Droid Turbo)

http://www.ebay.com/sch/Cell-Phones-Smartphones/9355/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=XT1250

64GB XT1225 - $579

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...C2.A0.H0.Xxt1225.TRS0&_nkw=xt1225&_sacat=9355

I own three of those, and that's more than I paid for my 3rd one which is still brand new in the box.

You act like the Droid Turbo is no longer a valuable phone. It's only not valuable on eBay because Verizon crippled it. Use Sunshine to make it valuable again!

And I'm not advocating buying phones on eBay -- I know Swappa and XDA are partners. I'm just comparing prices of various phones since the person I replied to mentioned eBay prices of the Droid Turbo XT1254.

I wouldn't trust some 3rd party website that wants you to download files and install. Could be malware.

Here's the XDA forum for the AT&T Galaxy S6:

https://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s6

I would go there and see what's available. If it's not on XDA, it probably doesn't exist. ;) Seems they have root on some firmware but not bootloader unlock. So, I wouldn't trust some other website that claims to unlock the bootloader on ANY Galaxy S6.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] EjđiSixo:
Of course, after I sold my mint Turbo and overpaid for Moto Maxx (which I do enjoy very much), MM bootloader get's unlocked xD..

So let me get this straight.. It's finally unlocked, and people are bi*ching about 25$ being too much? You people don't deserve anything!

MM is unlocked, if you upgrade to some newer possible patch that they will release and then can't unlock and start bi*ching about it, you're an idiot.

SO : As far as I'm concerned , mods/ admins can lock the topic.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cllark1:
I would gladly pay 25 to unlock the latest version of marshmallow . Unfortunately I read that Sunshine could unlock the XT 1254 , but did not realize it could only unlock certain versions of android. When I received my phone I made the mistake of upgrading to the latest version of marshmallow which is not supported by Sunshine . Being new to unlocking and rooting I still find it can be confusing as to which versions of android can be unlocked on the droid turbo .
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
And so you learn the hard way NEVER to take an OTA until you have researched first. Sunshine unlocks every version of XT1254 firmware since November 2015 EXCEPT for the latest version released in March 2017.

There were temporarily times newer firmware in between could not be unlocked until Sunshine updated their exploits, their app, whatever. [MENTION=5635882]EjđiSixo[/MENTION] got a Droid Turbo during one of those dry spells, gave up, sold it, and bought another Quark -- a U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 -- which could easily be unlocked. Soon after, Sunshine found they could unlock that firmware. But he had no way of knowing if/when that would happen.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cllark1:
It can be confusing if you do a search for Sunshine bootunlocker for XT 1254 you have to read a lot of post to even discover most versions of MM have been unlocked . I believed for sometime MM was not unlocked . I have loaded the latest version of Sunshine on my device and check daily to see if bootloader unlock is possible . Maybe one day I will be pleasantly surprised.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Right. And during those times we had to say "no, can't be done" -- and then a month later, it suddenly was "yes, it now can be done". And we can't go back and change all those past answers.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gpgorbosjr:
I bought one today to use as a backup phone/temp phone when I sell one to get a new one and the person who had it upgraded it :(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cllark1:
I would try Sunshine if it didn't get the very last OTA 24.91.5.5 Sunshine will unlock it .
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gpgorbosjr:
It did lol. First thing I did was check. I got the 64 GB version for $100 of Craigslist though which I thought was a good deal to use as a phone when I sell my main one to upgrade to a different one (I switch phones a lot lol) so I don't mind too much. Maybe someone will figure out a method on this OTA but considering how old it is maybe not.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cllark1:
Its still a great phone on Marshmallow . There's still a lot of expensive phones running Marshmallow ,and it didn't cost you $500 dollars .
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GISJason420:
So watching this topic!!! I got one the other day, all ready and excited for modding this beast, but now this bootloader's the cockblock smh! I'll gladly help and test as well when I can!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
No need to watch this topic. Not possible to downgrade with a locked bootloader. Been said over and over and over.

If you updated to the latest OTA (March 2017) without doing research first or the phone was already updated when you bought it, you are out of luck -- unless Sunshine comes through with another exploit.

However, if your Droid Turbo XT1254 is on any firmware version EXCEPT for the very latest (released March 2017), you can unlock your bootloader right now with Sunshine!

I tried the latest sunshine and it tokd me I had a temporary unlock and then something happened.

phone is having trouble getting past the logo screen once in a while, then it tries to optimize files, I took the sim card out so it could be that but I just sidelined it until I see something that works,

A month ago [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION] from Sunshine was asking for volunteers to help test with an update for 5-5. So I believe they are indeed working on it.

can we install lollipop in droid turbo using mfastboot ?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Yes, if you are still on Kitkat 4.4.4 and want to update to stock Lollipop firmware. You can always upgrade to newer firmware using mfastboot. However if you ever wish to unlock your bootloader, do NOT upgrade to the very latest Marshmallow. Sunshine does not work on that yet. Sunshine works on every Marshmallow version from November 2015 until just before the very latest (March 2017).

Yes, you can install Lollipop if your bootloader is unlocked and you wish to downgrade from Marshmallow (or even custom Nougat ROM) back to stock Lollipop firmware. You can even go back to stock Kitkat 4.4.4 if you wish. But you have to omit GPT.bin from the fastboot commands when you downgrade to lower firmware. However, you cannot downgrade if your bootloader is locked.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] saadaziz318:
I think this thread is all about Downgrading and not about upgrading but thanks for the reply .
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
I answered both. You did read my reply?

The 2nd paragraph was about downgrading. I clearly said you can downgrade if you have an unlocked bootloader. And I told you that you have to omit GPT.bin from the flashc commands to downgrade.

All you asked about was installing Lollipop. So I gave complete answer.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
All of you are in luck. Just released:

With an unlocked bootloader you can do almost anything. Ignore the thread title, this post is for the people wanting to unlock their bootloaders and were stuck on latest firmware which until now did not work with Sunshine. Go to the post above.

Appreciation fo time spent on older phones

I really appreciate the fact that you work on something like this, seriously, not all of us can still afford to stay up to date on the newest device and in my case I had it unlocked and rooted but someone tried to break in to my phone and factory reset it, then mistakenly I took the update. Anyway, I have a bunch of older phones and I couldn't afford to buy one outright for the last few years. I used to have a very successful business, new android and a new iphone whenever the new one came out, just cause I felt like it, new gadgets, etc. but I ran into some trouble and I have had this turbo for almost three years. lots of people really just can't afford a new phone and what a great gift to discover these roms and other mods that some curious person with a small budget can get, opening up the functionality and the designs on the phone. I know you devs don't get enough credit and everybody is always demanding or whining about it not being done yet, while others are saying, "why are you wasting your time on that?" Fix my device instead... well I for one am really thankful for you guys that do this , asking for only donations while you make your hard work available to anyone. Thanks a ton, if you're one of these devs and you ever need anything that I can provide (I am a former IT now Jazz singer, entertainer and writer) just shoot me an email ad I'll see what I can do for you.

Thanks again

i have Moto Turbo with 6.0.1 Marshmallow, currently get stuck on "Select wifi network" page (after doing factory reset),

can i downgrade it to some other good stable android version?

if yes, how to unlock bootload, root and finally install the android OS? .,.,thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Once you unlock your Droid Turbo bootloader you can downgrade to any firmware you wish. This guide below has now been updated to work with even the latest (as of this date) Verizon firmware.

[GUIDE] How to unlock your bootloader, install TWRP and gain root access

https://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684

Once you unlock the bootloader, root and install TWRP (I would really recommend installing TWRP), you can flash either TWRP-flashable stock firmware files found in this forum, like this one:

[ROM] MCG24.251-5 100% Stock

or even this tweaked, debloated stock-based ROM (which is very stable):

Computerfreek274_1.0.8 Update Marshmallow 6.0.1 Global,De-bloated,Root,Volte, 5/29/17

Or you can ADB flash lower firmware all the way back to KitKat, if you wish -- ONCE YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED. However if you ADB flash (fasboot/msfastboot) lower firmware, be sure to omit the GPT.bin from your flash commands or you will bootloop. Also, if you wish to keep TWRP recovery (which I recommend), also omit the recovery.img flash commands.

First step is to unlock you bootloader, root, and install TWRP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] usyusy:
thanks sir, but i m now on stuck page of wifi searching.

how can i enable Debugging mode

and 2ndly, whether i have version MCG24.251-5 or MCG24.251-5-5, how can i ensure?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Debugging mode is in Developer Options. If those are not enabled you have to enable them. If you don't know how, Google: how to enable Developer Options Android.

Are you asking what version you have? Go to Settings/About Phone. Scroll do to bottom of that page and it will show you the Build Number.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] usyusy:
thx so, but as i told earlier m not able to complete the configuration setup after factory reset through Recovery.

i know the settings for developer options/ about phone/build numbers/version etc. but not able to pass the configuration setup and thus goes to stop every time i started phone at "Select wifi network" step-No Wifi router/modem/ device appears to be selected, a blank one (seems to be soft brick type situation or boot loop type if m right)

so my current problem seems to be, "how to Enable Debugging through commands etc or through other method, so that i can follow the Unlocking etc method you provided to me.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
Sorry, I answer so many questions I forgot your previous original post and neglected to read it again.

You've already factory reset the phone and that didn't help.

You can boot to recovery mode and use fastboot to flash the most recent firmware again. See if that solves your problem. Here's someone who had a similar issue, with another Android:

Also, you should be able to unlock the bootloader with Sunshine the same way. And you can downgrade firmware when bootloader is unlocked.

If you are not able to do any of this, you will have to take phone to a professional repair center, preferably Motorola.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jeffkahlo777:
The problem is: $25 USD in United States is cheap but in some country's it's not that cheap.

Sure i am saving money for SunShine, and Motorola DROID TURBO XT1254 is designed for Verizon, but SunShine can s-off HTC phones, and various Motorola DROID TURBO XT1254 is in other country's more cheap than Motorola Moto Maxx XT1225 and XT1250.

If your country the internet purchases of physical products is very difficult because are strictly for internacional shipping, some people does not know how to buy physical products online (or not have a paid accepted payment method).

SunShine should be cheap, but not too much for paid development (for example old devices $10-$15, and new devices $15-$20) and if possible accept more payment methods.

Thanks Jcase and Beaups for SunShine but can be improved on some things.

Edit: This information is just to clarify the situation about SunShine, i have no problems paying $25 USD, but other people have some problems
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cllark1:
Sunshine is not a physical product. It is a android program to be downloaded on your phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheSt33v:
Sunshine should be whatever the creators want it to be, and cost however much they want it to cost. They accept Amazon gift cards, major international credit cards, bitcoin, paypal and western union. Bitcoin alone makes them pretty much universally accessible. Short of offering to come to your country and accept payment in livestock, it seems to me like they've really bent over backwards to accept whatever form of money you can get your hands on. And if you really live in a country where 25 USD is too much for you, maybe you should be spending your money on more important things than unlocking your phone's bootloader.

And if you don't know how to make online purchases, you shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a smart phone, much less a bootloader unlock app.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jeffkahlo777:
The problem is not me, I can pay $25 USD but other people cannot pay $25 USD because the problems posted in previous post, some other people complains about SunShine, and a friend can pay in app or buy a SunShine code, just wanted to clarify the situation and suggest some improvements to SunShine app developed by Jcase and Beaups.
