No cyanogen mod? - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

I noticed that not even the maxx has a working installation of cyanogen and was wondering if once the turbo has a working method for root will people be more likely to create an installation?
I'm really looking forward to over clocking my processor if so

Dev is working on CM12 for the Moto Maxx. We're not bugging him, so he can work in peace.

Do you think a moto maxx ROM would work for the droid turbo once it's rooted and boot loader is unlocked

Root is almost available for the DT but BL unlock is not guaranteed yet so no one can say if DT owners (like myself) will even be able to flash anything. Good question though.

Likely not. You can't just "swap ROMS" between a CDMA device and a GSM device.

I helped a few people with unlocked turbos out in rooting theirs. I can confirm that the Moto Maxx TWRP does boot, but in the long run it'll need a few recoveryfs tweaks.

Were those turbos XT1250s? Because nothing has been shown about someone working on BL unlock for the DT (XT1254)......yet. but ofc the XT1250s are already unlocked but not the XT1254s which is the model I believe he was asking about.

They were XT1254s. They were all prototype models and came unlocked from the factory.

Probably not this simple, but if we get root maybe the bootloader from one of these prototypes can be copied to a turbo using a dd command. Then we would all have unlocked bootloaders

That would not work because it is not signed by moto. The ONLY things that matter are: 1) Signed vs unsigned packages and 2) bootloader exploits. Some BL exploits require root, most do now since they have gotten advanced. I miss the days of hardware level exploits and stuff. No more though. Root will likely be needed for a BL unlock and I would assume once root drops people will start working on one. Jcase has unlocked many motos and I would assume he will work on one when he has time (he is sick and very busy).
So root will not allow a BL unlock by itself. I am not even sure if this root exploit removes /system write protection. Some don't. We just have to wait and see.

I was busy last week, but if there will be BL unlock for Verizon Droid Turbo, then I'll make the CM12 / CM12.1 universal.

If you dump the package yourself I would imagine it would no longer have the same check sum no? Jcase has said this about many devices and then out of nowhere released exploits. I am not asking him to, I am just saying he enjoys doing this and is really, really good at it. I can see him collaborating with the root author to develop a proper exploit if it does not already exist. Either way, this root probably won't be released for another few weeks, if ever.

No, if you dump the bootloader yourself, it will be signed with the exact same certificates as when it was compiled. As a quick demonstration, take a device (not the Turbo) and download a custom kernel for it.
Check (and make note of) the MD5 checksum. Then install it.
Boot it once or twice, messing around with it. Then dump it (via
Code:
dd if="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot" of="/sdcard/boot.img"
) and compare the MD5 of your dumped image to that of the one that had not yet been installed. Zero difference.

[Q] New Moto X hoping for unlock Bootloader, avoid OTA's ?

Just picked up a new ATT Moto X yesterday and hoping someone figures out how to unlock the Bootloader.
Would it be best to not take any OTA's ( like the camera update OTA ) and any future OTA's ? My thought is that the people working on figuring out an unlock are prob working on the original first ROM since release.
If anyone here is trying to crack the bootloader, are you working mainly with the original ROM ?
Thanks,
J

Your boot loader will never be unlocked, go to the original development threads and look for pawnmymoto or slapmymoto, root method for permanently locked boot loaders

Yes, I was told the same for my Razr M, then of course, someone figured it out 6-7 months after release.

Moto X Root 4.4.2 Verizon

Hey guys, I have a non-dev Verizon Moto x, and I was wondering if there's a way to root my phone. I am on 4.4.2 and CANNOT unlock the bootloader
Thanks guys!

Sorry to say but the answer is no. There is no known root path or exploit available to the public at this time for 4.4.2. The only option is an unlocked boot loader.
no downgrade to 4.4 possible?
no... bootloader in 4.4.2 is different from 4.4. check the threads... there's been many failures of bricked devices because of it.
unlock the bootloader. go pay that chinese guy the $40'ish bucks for the unlock code. got my code overnight. straight up and legit.
aldouse's info is correct.
I would just add one thing... paying ~$40 on the Chinese site selling unlock codes appears to no longer be an option. Seller is not responding. And rumor is that Moto caught up to the person.
Aw man I wish I knew about that seller while it worked. I would of loved to have done that. Looks like were SOL now OP

Yup. Unless you can sell your X on swappa, craigslist, ebay, etc... and use the money towards buying a Developer Edition X for Verizon.

No root ain't so bad on the x.

Not straight up and legit. Stolen codes from moto! You want unlocked and root buy a ****ing developer edition. If everyone bought developer editions maybe carriers would be more likely to offer unlocked.

An exploit is highly unlikely. The Moto X bootloader is extremely secure. You may be able to get unlocked through the china middleman - see that thread for details.

You can root it now - see the PIE thread. Unfortunately, this is a partial root - no write access to /system and no custom recovery. Root is lost upon reboot and must perform procedure again. Still useful for things like Xposed and WiFi Tether....
The better option is to try to unlock the bootloader. Since you are using at XT1058 (I'm guessing AT&T branded?) your only option is the china middleman.
Good Luck

root question

so i have a xt1060 verizon moto x, and was gonna unlock the bootloader with sunshine, but how would i go about rooting it? i assume just installing superSU is not enough, also is there any restrictions i should know about? i sure have lots of phones i have rooted but Motorola has always been weird.

Sir..once the bootloader is unlocked, you'll need to install a custom recovery, TWRP or CWM..the stock recovery will be of no use..then with a custom recovery, you would gain Root by installing SuperSU from the custom recovery..no other restrictions that I can think of..
KEEP IN MIND..during the bootloader unlock process..your device storage will be erased, you will loose personal data..back up your data FIRST..

I use stock ROM's only..maybe Debloated..but mostly stock..don't have the time to fool with all the "crap" with a custom ROM..anyhow..if the ROM is for a XT1060..then I would certainly think you'd be OK..but as I said..stock for me only, I use to flash a lot of ROM's but was always battling some function that didn't function..and realized, I was not enjoying my devices..So I swore OFF custom ROM's..now I do mostly testing for Dev's and so on..
BTW..I own a XT1060 Moto X Developer Edition..but if your bootloader is unlocked, then your device would be likened to a DEV Edition, except for the logo and white back shell (back panel)..
I use TWRP only..If CWM is a must for you, then their site should have what you need, or here in XDA..BE SURE the custom recovery version is for the Moto X "ghost"..no other will install/work properly..the code name for Moto X is "ghost"..so any recovery MUST be developed for your " ghost" device..there are TWRP versions that is developed for the Moto X "ghost" and the "obake" Droid Maxx and Ultra..same version works with all three code names..DON'T KNOW about CWM..

People on 4.4.4 can't root with a locked boot loader is what it says. And that remains true. It doesn't say you can't unlock the boot loader though. No where does it say that. It's a thread with a collection of root methods....it's not about unlocking.
And cmw is also not mentioned, it may be in a thread that is linked to in the one stop shop, but not in the root thread itself.
Just wanted to be clear, as far as rooting goes....it's completely up to date. Read it a little more carefully. ?
If anything changes with root methods, it will be updated. A link to a Sunshine guide will be included as well, if there is one made. If there already is, I've missed it. A member said he was making one, but I haven't seen it yet.
And if anything that thread links to is out of date, the maintainer of those threads should be notified. ?

Yes. I know all about that.
But you said the one stop shop root thread is out dated.....and my friend, it is not.
Once your boot loader is unlocked, it's no different than any unlocked X...which is covered in the first section of the One Stop Shop.
How you unlock is irrelevant to the rooting thread I thought we were discussing.
Someone said he was making a Sunshine tutorial thread. If that ever happens, I will mention it in the Root thread. ?
Until then, it's not in there cause there is no clear, straight forward thread on it.

Sucks for those still nursing along unlimited data on Verizon. Pure edition isn't an option and some people aren't interested in a Shamu.
I don't mind the size of a phone. My previous was a note 3. But I am nursing my unlimited data lol
What does the Pure edition have to do with the unlimited data plan. I extended my unlimited data, and I can put any phone on it, can't I?
Motorola bootloaders are notoriously difficult to crack so I wouldn't count on it.
Wasn't there some middleman in China unlocking bootloaders on all the 2013 Moto phones? Does anyone know if that's still up or if it got shutdown?

I'd be happy with just root for the Verizon version. Is root dependent on bootloader unlocking at all?
Boot loader and root are independent but boot loader unlocking is needed IF you ever want to try Roms.

This potentially changes with lollipop. Currently root requires flashing a modified kernel which is only possible on unlocked bootloader.
