[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
You can't downgrade Motorola firmware with a locked bootloader.

You have to unlock the bootloader before attempting to downgrade firmware. And even with an unlocked bootloader you have to omit GPT.bin from the flash sequence of commands when downgrading the firmware.

Many people have downgraded, for various reasons -- but you have to UNLOCK the bootloader first.

The bootloader for every firmware EXCEPT for the March 2017 (MCG24.251-5-5, the current latest version -- not to be confused with MCG24.251-5, the previous version without the extra "-5" on the end) can be unlocked or you can easily get to a version that can be unlocked. There's a guide in General.

[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

Unless you have the March 2017 firmware (MCG24.251-5-5) -- then no, you can't unlock your bootloader.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71800983&postcount=647

Your only choice is to re-flash same or higher firmware you already had. What version firmware were you on? And I don't mean "Marshmallow" -- what exact Verizon version were you on?

As for bricking, do you mean it won't turn on at all -- or that it bootloops or what?

It's possible to unlock bootloader mean how to do it?

Sunshineapp not work on my framwere
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
No, that's the March 2017 firmware that Sunshine cannot unlock yet. The versions before that, yes. But you've already updated to the "bad" version.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Azeem Shah:
OK

I flash your framwere but my device not boot how to do? :confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
You cannot flash a lower version with a locked bootloader.

I meant IF someone else has a lower version (if they did not yet take the most recent Verizon OTA, released March 2017), they can unlock their bootloader before updating.

I do not understand you can not talk to my mobile down grade
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Azeem Shah:
If you can tell me how to flash the rom

How to full way flash

And and give me your fb/whatsapp ID
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
You are on MCG24.251-5-5. Until Sunshine comes out with an exploit for that version, there is nothing you can do. You cannot downgrade to an earlier version with a locked bootloader. You should not have installed MCG24.251-5-5 on your phone, if you wanted to unlock your bootloader. If you just bought the phone and it was already installed, then it's not your fault but there is still nothing you can do.

Earlier firmware versions CAN be unlocked, but you cannot downgrade to those earlier versions if your bootloader is locked right now. Verizon does this on purpose to control their customers because they are evil. I made sure the version of the Quark phone I have is not Verizon Droid version, so my bootloader is easily unlocked (I have the XT1225, and there's also the XT1250).

Sunshine team made a series of exploits to unlock the bootloader of this Droid Turbo XT1254 phone for the past 1.5 years. So anyone who wanted to unlock their bootloader could have already unlocked their bootloader. Verizon released a "security" update in March 2017 ( MCG24.251-5-5) which defeats the Sunshine exploit. Only if you have installed that most recent update does Sunshine not work. That is installed on your phone, so there's nothing you can do.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Azeem Shah:
Give single file link supported sunshine
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
I told you Sunshine does NOT support the newest firmware now installed on your phone. It only supports older firmware versions (prior to March 2017). You installed the newest firmware version last month or somebody did. So, there's nothing you can do now.

In the future Sunshine may find another exploit for the version you now have, but no prediction when or if it will ever happen.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
Your phone cannot be unlocked.

Sunshine will not help you.

No other methods can help you.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Einsteindks:
IF you can boot into bootloader (from full off, press power and volume down together, release power only when phone starts, then release volume down a second later), you can use RSDlite version 6.2.4 to flash official Marshmallow firmware ONLY onto your phone. This should make it operable. It will NOT unlock the bootloader.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Azeem Shah:
Ok thanks

The work will be given your version of Flash please tell me how to flash?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Azeem Shah:
Can you tell me how to flash RSD
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Spott07:
Go read the guides.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Einsteindks:
Download Marshmallow firmware for Turbo onto computer desktop. Download & install RSD. Run RSD, plug phone into computer after starting phone to bootloader screen. RSD should detect phone. Tap on box with three dots to search/choose firmware on desktop. 'OK' to decompress and run. Phone will be wiped of all data. To be sure of clean install, boot to recovery to FDR (factory data reset) and wipe all you can after flashing is complete.

What was so bad on Marshmallow that you prefer Lollipop, or even KitKat?

The 5-5 firmware may be the last official update, so you could get rid of some bloatware. If ever a significant update does come out, backup all your data and settings first, then RSD to a pure stock ROM, ready to update.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Azeem Shah:
This is the problem that it is not downgrade marshmallow really dirty version you have a solution to it downgrade
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Einsteindks:
Marshmallow may be 'dirty', but it's your ONLY option right now. So, it's either a brick, or a decently functional phone. Your choice. After taking the Mm update, the recovery was changed, and is ONLY compatible with stock Mm 5-5. A locked bootloader prevents workable root, let alone permanent root. The other posters are far more experienced than I, and they state nothing exists that will unlock the bootloader of the xt1254 after taking the '5-5' update. Nothing. And its likely there never will be. Highly likely no bootloader unlock method will be developed for phones on 5-5. No downgrade. Period. Stock or brick, your choice.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Azeem Shah:
This method will work

Hello everyone,

I'd love to have a display to which I could connect my Android phone (via Android Auto) in a similar way like I can do in my Seat Ibiza, just so I could have Android Auto on a big(ger) screen on any car I'm driving (parents, brother, friends, work).

I've done some googleing, but couldn't find a successful project (there's one person who said it was quite unstable), so I came here to get confirmation for either side.

I appreciate your answers! Thanks a lot in advance!
[Android Auto General] Argentum_90:
You can install Android Auto app on your Android Head Unit, but you get the problem when you try to call. The app thinks that the radio is the phone, and does not recognizes it as a handsfree. If somebody could tweak it, it would be wonderful.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kevkid:
Ah thanks. It seems pretty ****ty that even though you pay for a phone outright they do not want you to do what you want on it. That should be illegal lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] 954wrecker:
Sad but true. You could have had better luck if you got the Verizon or even the AT&T version instead. Spending 5 minutes by googling each carriers sim unlock policy could have given you all the answers beforehand. Our country and cell phone providers are extremely shady regarding sim unlocking our phones
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ChazzMatt:
You have to buy the Exynos version. I've imported phones in the past to do stuff like that. Got three Motorola phones from other countries, via eBay and other sources -- running them on AT&T, bootloader unlocked. $700 each for the first two.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Guessphx:
He said unlock the bootloader not sim unlock big difference there.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] 954wrecker:
Of course but anyone smart enough to post a thread all by themselves has to know these are never going to have the bootloader unlocked so its safe to assume he meant sim unlock instead. Who contacts the cell phone provider to unlock the bootloader? The carrier at best can sim unlock it they dont even know a bootloader. Samsung reps dont even have a clue if you asked them. Everybody who cares about the boot loaders already knows the status
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kevkid:
Nah i know the difference. I just figured i'd ask about it lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] 954wrecker:
Good to know
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rhtb4theeyeblnks:
If you're going to answer questions like a jerk don't answer them.

Everybody who knows anything learned it from an external source. There are that are bootloader locked until the phone is paid off then it is both SIM and bootloader and lot but only for selected phones. Not all but some. The Google Pixel is a good example of that. You can pay it off completely and in x days unlock the bootloader. The OP probably heard something along these lines and wondered if this courtesy was available for its phone. Unfortunately it's not for the T-Mobile variant and maybe others but I don't know about them. I also am waiting for a policy change that maybe we're allowed to get into the phones that we fully own. One last thing everyone is as smart as every teacher allowed them to be.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] daihi3003:
Please follow the following steps to revive your Hermes:

1- Close the USB port on the activesync.

2- open the program MTTY (you can find it within this forum) and connect your Hermes using USB.

3- inside MTTY give this command:

task 32

if the answer is FF this means your Hermes is locked and you can go on with the steps.

now give this command in MTTY

set 16 0

the answer will be (NAND WRITE SUCCESS).

4- Disconnect your Hermes from the PC.

5- Format your micro SD card with FAT16.

6- Download the official JASJAM ROM (JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.104.zip) and extract the file hermimg_wwe_1.20.305.104.nbh and rename it to hermimg.nbh

7-Put the file hermimg.nbh on your micro SD card and inser the card into your Hermes.

8- Reboot your Hermes and it will start the command Download, in this case press the power button to continue.

The operation will take about 20 mints to finish, if it hangs do a reset and repeat step 8.

keep repeating step 8 until the operation ends with a success.

Regards.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] akashk07:
I want to root my device.

But I'm unable to decide that I should root via supersu or Magisk.

I've read that magisk provide systemless root, but what the advanteges of systemless root/magisk?

Can someone help me that what's the use/advantage of Magisk?

is it much stable then supersu?

I don't want to risk my device as I'm app developer
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] manor7777:
If you are an app developer, use Magisk. Magisk allows you to pass google's safety tests (Safetynet) - which you should know about if you develop apps! but basically, google will not think your device is compromised is you use Magisk, but WILL think your device is compromised if you use SuperSU - even if SuperSU is installed in Systemless mode. Don't forget to enable magisk hide in the Magisk Manager app to make sure this works though.

Some app developers will check safetynet upon launching their app to see if the device is compromised, and if it is, either restrict features, or deny access entirely. A good example of this is Banking apps, though they usually use their own root detection - but that can be hidden with Magisk Hide. - No bank wants their app being used on a compromised device, where a virus with root access could collect information. The more you know :)
