So, I have my brand new Moto X XT1097 here in Mexico, as far I know no matters if Motorola sold me or a carrier, the only Pure Edition is the XT1095, so having this in mind, I decided to flash the Official Lollipop version XT1097, here in Mexico is already rolling. But my phone has locked bootloader and I already check at Motorola page and is suitable for unlock, but I dont want to unlocked, not just yet. Well, my question is, if I update my phone to Lollipop will I be able to unlock the bootloader after that or I have to unlock BEFORE the update?
Thanks in advance.
Doesn't matter at all. You can install the 5.0 OTA and unlock your bootloader later.

well, is not OTA, but the zip, I will install using ADBsideload. Some others mexicans users having the same firmware version are receiving the OTA others dont. But anyway, thanks my friend.
I updated with the zip file that was uploaded for México. And then unlocked the bootloader on lollipop

The file is only for pure edition. I tried and failed. There are a couple of post on General section of how to convert you phone to pure edition, including my own tutorial. Regards
Is the Moto XT1097 with the android version 5.1 able to he downgraded. Thanks for any kind of answers at all. Been looking at different sites and all kind of tutorials. Still haven't found any answer to my questions. Thanks in advanced.
Here is my riddle?
I got a moto XT1097 bought from at&T in America with the 5.1 android version. How do I root it? Is it worth to even downgrade to try and root it that way . I know for a fact the boot loader cannot be unlocked. OEM Is one that can not be unlocked. Thanks for any advice, help, anthing at all. Been wracking and researching away to root it and all of my roads lead to a headache.
The AT&T xt1097 cannot be unlocked. You can root with MOFO if an updated 5.1 image has been made for your device. Since your device cannot be unlocked, you cannot downgrade.

Thanks. I do not have the 5.1 image for my device at all. When I bought the phone it was updated on the spot. I know for sure right now these versions are not rootable. Guess I am going to have to wait or root. Thanks for the help.
Okay, complete noob question here. I cannot seem to find the .44 listed anywhere.
Is 4.4.4 the newest firmware?
I noticed my bootloader lists 2014 as the date. I did run a upgrade to get last months security patch, from what it seems.

Settings->about phone->build number. SU4TL-49 is the newest. If you're interested in unlocking your bootloader, you must be on SU4TL-44 or lower.
I am showing SU6-7.7

So, let's back up. First, what version of Android are you on Kitkat 4.4.4 or Lollipop 5.1? Any Verizon version firmware numbers mentioned in this thread only apply to Lollipop.
SU4TL-49 is the newest version of Lollipop 5.1 for the Droid Turbo XT1254.
SU4TL-44 is the previous version of Lollipop 5.1 which allows the Sunshine bootloader exploit.
IF you are on Kitkat, you have to upgrade to Lollipop, but do not take the SU4TL-49 OTA.
There is a SU4TL-44 file you can flash here in this forum.
mine come with SU4TL-49
but well i desactivated all bloatware , still a very fast phone, 75 000 in antutu, 5;30 to 6:30 hours of screen
im surprised with this phone
Okay... I guess this is a droid ultra, even though it says MAXX, and the frame says MAXX. Ignore this thread!

Kind of unrelated but, I have a Droid Turbo XT1254 that I accidentally upgraded to 5.1 SU4TL-49 and I'm super bummed out because I wanted to try out CyanogenMod.
Do you think Sunshine will ever release a patch that will work on that newer build? Or maybe will release a new version for when Android 6.0 rolls out on XT1254 devices?
Also, first post :3

Can't be predicted. First exploit took a year to find. Sunshine team says they are not actively looking for another.
You can always sell your phone, buy an SUTL-44 Droid Turbo on Swappa or buy an XT1250 (Another Quark which is a Droid Turbo clone that runs on Verizon, with easily unlocked bootloader).
Thanks for the advice, from what I've seen the XT1250 is a bit more pricey.

Not the XT1225, but the XT1250. It's on eBay for $189, with free shipping.
If you buy an SUTL-44 Droid Turbo, make sure it is actually 44. And then you have to pay for Sunshine with the Droid Turbo, so factor that in.

Right. If I buy an XT1254 and it comes with Kitkat (not sure which build exactly...) is it possible to get the SUTL-44 OTA and not update all the way to SUTL-49 ??

Oh actually I found this thread (that I think you made) http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/xt1254-vs-xt1250-t3395747
It answers my questions I think I'll be getting another XT1254. Thanks for your help I really appreciate it.
I'll probably be around asking more noob questions in the Marshmallow thread or somewhere else, so it's nice to know there are some super knowledgeable and helpful members on here

Use the techniques in this post -- but of course you want Droid Turbo 4.4.4 firmware, which you can download from many, many locations.
How to Manually Official Firmware on any Motorola Device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...force-how-to-manually-flash-official-t3282077
or this. Same guy, @Jaocagomez:
[Tutorial] How to Flash Different Official Firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/tutorial-how-to-flash-official-firmware-t3074724
FIRST, you need an unlocked bootloader. Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, then you need to buy/use Sunshine.
These instructions work for all Moto phones with unlocked bootloaders. (He says it's not for the Droid Turbo 2, because their bootloader was never unlocked. In the 2nd thread he says it's not for the Droid Turbo, but he wrote that before the Droid Turbo was unlocked.)
@Jaocagomez previously owned a Quark then moved on to Kinzie. He helped me get my second XT1225. He wrote a lot of the early dev stuff for our phones, but that was back then the Droid Turbo was still locked down. Doesn't matter, these instructions work for all Quark, Kinzie with unlocked bootloaders.
Do NOT flash GPT.BIN. Leave that off. He even mentions that in the Q&A. You can downgrade to earlier OS version, but you cannot downgrade bootloaders. You try to flash GPT.bin and you will either brick your phone or be in never ending bootloop.

Can't be done. Unlocked bootloader is necessary for this phone to write to system. Right now (on Verizon/Motorola Marshmallow update) you couldn't unlock the bootloader, even if you wanted to.
Whereas BEFORE the Marshmallow update you could have easily rooted the phone after unlocking the bootloader.
THEN, you could have fearlessly updated to Marshmallow and still retained the unlocked bootloader and all rooting rights.
We told everyone to unlock before updating, if they ever wanted root.

Why didn't you unlock before updating to Marshmallow? You've had since November 2015, when Sunshine team cracked the Droid Turbo bootloader. Marshmallow was released early December 2016. And everyone was warned to stop procrastinating and unlock the bootloader, before taking that update.
If you only bought the phone in the past month and it was already on Marshmallow, then your fault for not researching prior to buying -- IF that is so important to you. It's been discussed over and over and over in this forum.
Haha I think my youtube responses made him mad. I guess they were kinda dickish. In my defense though, when people keep asking the same question over and over again, I have to do something to keep it interesting.
I was already unlocked before the mm update and lost root ....I'm STILL unlocked (bootloader) how do I get root back?

Flash the older beta SuperSu 2.72 for initial root. After you reboot and confirm root, then you can update to the latest SuperSu. It's mentioned in all the 6.0.1 update threads.

Yes. You download and install via TWRP. How did you get root before?
Do you have TWRP custom recovery? And if not, why not?
Your bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is amazing, even just for being able to go back in time to undo any mistakes (restore backup). But also lets you flash zipped files like SuperSu.

You'll need a computer to get TWRP on there. After that, you won't need one anymore. You need to download the TWRP image you want, copy it into the same folder as fastboot.exe and flash it using the command fastboot flash recovery [twrp image file name].

Hello, my friend, it is difficult to start with something that is really embarrassing, writing explicitly to you was simple chance, this is also valid for anyone who can read me. I'm from venezuela and just putting on google as is our economy you would know, so it's worth saying that to get even a dollar is very difficult task (miracle I have my turbo droid without asking how I managed to get it jejejeje) ... In short, you and anyone who could donate something to be able to free the bootloader of my droid turbo would thank them very much, I would write them (I only need 24 people besides you to help me with 1dollar that although it costs them work to obtain, it is much more Easy for you than me ... in advance THANK YOU (PayPal: paypal.me/Aldriangel) sorry for my english Ups

Since someone dug up this old thread, let me reply to my own post from several months ago, as it's now outdated. As of right now, Sunshine CAN unlock any Droid Turbo bootloader from the past two years. And if you have firmware before that (older), just update to more recent.

Don't ask how you got it? OK, I won't, but you are implying less than honest effort.
However, you managed to get the ONE Quark with a Verizon locked-down bootloader. Why didn't you get a better one? Better for your purposes which is to avoid paying anything.
You live in Latin America, and somehow ended up with the U.S. Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254. Whereas, the Moto Maxx XT1225 is the Latin America Quark with the FREE bootloader unlock code. (Moto Turbo XT1225 was sold in India, but is the exact same phone as the Moto Maxx XT1225)
The Moto Maxx XT1225 was sold in at least Chile, Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. I bought THREE of these "Latin America" phones and I live in the U.S. Sort of the opposite of you! But I bought the "Latin America" Quark because it was the better phone for me -- unlocked bootloader and has all the AT&T LTE bands. (I wouldn't mind paying for bootloader unlock if I had to, what was important for me was the AT&T carrier bands.)
Venezuela is right next to Brazil, and the same continent as Chile. Why are you getting a United States Droid Turbo, when don't need CDMA bands and the Latin America Moto Maxx XT1225 is a much better phone for you with free bootloader unlock? (Yes, all the Quarks have the popular Latin America LTE bands 3 & 7. But the XT1225 is also "better" because of more HSPA bands, and 64GB storage. Most of the used Droid Turbos popping up in other countries seem to be 32GB.)
Next time, if you care about free bootloader unlock, don't get a Verizon phone. There's other Quarks, and even other phones. You're lucky there's any bootloader unlock at all for the Droid Turbo -- and that's only thanks to Sunshine. Many people are grateful to the Sunshine team.
But no one forced you to "buy" (steal?) this phone in South America. So, no -- no one is going to pay for your Sunshine bootloader unlock.

Friend, do not insinuate things that are not (treats with respect) ... I did not steal it, I bought this phone because it is cheaper than the others ... if it was difficult to get this for its price imagine the others ... I am glad for You and your pockets full of money
