I flashed the TWRP version of MM from here to my Turbo, but lost Root. I've tried flashing SuperSU from TWRP's built-in prompt, as well as from here, but when I do that the phone sticks at the bootloader screen.
I'm currently up and running in MM, trying to reacquire Root using KingRoot from here, but after 15 or so attempts it can't seem to break past 60%.
Any suggestions? Why does flashing SuperSU make my phone freeze on boot?
I know on Computer Freeks MM rom we have to use SuperSU 2.62 which is SuperSU 2.62 you could try that??

Yeah, I told them in that thread that's what should be used, because we had experienced the same issue with the sibling XT1225 back in July. (Initially, CF's 6.01 ROM was based on Brazilian Marshmallow, but the same issue affects the Verizon Motorola Marshmallow, which he's now incorporated.) As a result, CF then put that specific version of SuperSu in his downloads folder. It works.
I've also written it up tons of times in various threads over here -- but except for CF's ROM, it's not in many op posts. So, here it is again.
On Motorola Marshmallow for Quark, for SuperSu you have to flash the Beta SuperSu 2.62. You can update later to newer version.
INITIAL ROOT ON QUARK MOTOROLA MARSHMALLOW 6.0.1
This same version of Marshmallow was released back in July for sibling Quark Moto XT1225. We found out then newer versions of SuperSu don't work for initial root. You need this older version first. No need to re-invent the wheel. It's the same device, same software.
_______________
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. This is the one we KNOW works! 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!

Thank you. Sorry, I did previously do a cursory google search for the problem and didn't find such an answer saying not to use the newer version.
Apologies for being another who seemingly didn't pay attention, but the version you recommended worked.

To be frank, for a thread to have the title "Computerfreek274_MM_1.0.4 Verizon Stock Based MCG24.251-5 6.0.1 Stock VoLTE Root" is the opposite of helpful. A fairly layman title and small descriptive blurb does wonders for people who have very little experience in this area beyond the cursory effort it can take to unlock and root.
That is, I'm not illiterate by any stretch, but I'm also not a programmer and would have no idea what the hell that thread is on about from the title or the OP. About the only indication it might be of interest are the words "Marshmallow" and "Verizon Stock OTA" among all the other (to me) extraneous information.
I would not have visited that thread had you not linked to it, because there is no preliminary indication to me that it would be what I'm looking for.

I also wrote it up in various other Marshmallow threads like here and here and here, but I admit it's hard to find. It should be in the OP of some of those threads, but I'm not the creator. CF did take the advice and make it part of his ROM downloads.

the title has all the helpful information for what it was designed. it is not a help people with superSU problems thread, its a rom release thread (that includes the proper superSU to use in the OP).
but i do understand what you are trying to say, maybe you could make an appropriately titled thread with all the relevant info in it.
I added root instructions to my stock flashable zip thread. Hopefully that will clear some things up.

I thought about doing that myself but here's the issue. While I wrote such a guide for the XT1225 and XT1250 over in the other forum, to gain permanent root for any Quark (XT1254/XT1225/XT1250) you first must unlock your bootloader. On the XT1225/XT1250, that's easy -- just via a free code given via Motorola on request. On the Droid Turbo, that request is refused due to Verizon's insistence on a locked-down bootloader. Therefore my guide over there is only for the XT1225 and XT1250.
1) @TheSt33v has written an excellent guide over here on how to unlock your bootloader for the Droid Turbo XT1254 via Sunshine -- which right now is limited only to Lollipop SUTL-44 and SUTL-49. He also covers rooting in that guide. (My guide is based on his, but mine is updated for Motorola Marshmallow 6.0.1 -- with instructions SuperSu Beta SU 2.62 MUST be used, as we encountered this problem back in July 2016 when Motorola released Marshmallow for the XT1225. Plus in that guide, I clarified some things just based on my personal reading/writing style. I also added boot logos and boot animation. )
With his guide here on unlocking the bootloader, no other is needed. It covers everything that needs to be covered from the XT1254 Droid Turbo perspective, if you want to unlock your bootloader and root. (Again, unlocking the bootloader on the XT1254 can only be done on two specific versions of Lollipop, via paid Sunshine app.)
2) This Marshmallow rooting problem for the XT1254 is ONLY for people who have first unlocked their bootloaders on Lollipop (see #1) and are now upgrading to either stock Marshmallow Verizon firmware via OTA or installing a Marshmallow ROM based on stock Motorola firmware via TWRP. (Any other Marshmallow custom ROMs or even Nougat custom ROMs, i.e. CM-based, like [ROM][All Quark][6.x.x]Resurrection Remix which I'm currently using or [ROM][All Quark][7.x]Resurrection Remix do not have that "rooting" issue.)
This rooting problem is only for a subset of overall Droid Turbo users, not for everyone who has updated to Marshmallow. (That subset being those who first unlocked their bootloaders and are now on stock Motorola Marshmallow or a ROM based on stock Motorola Marshmallow.)
Therefore, just a thread on "rooting" over here in the XT1254 forum would not be useful. People would be confused and think they could root without first unlocking their bootloaders! And especially on Marshmallow 6.0.1, with the XT1254 Droid Turbo if you didn't FIRST unlock your bootloader on Lollipop, you are out of luck! (With XT1225 and XT1250 that's not a concern.)

In my writing style, I would have noted the version number (SuperSu beta 2.62) in that sentence just to clarity it is indeed an older, very specific version necessary for rooting? But that's just me. In one of the other threads where I wrote this up, someone else then correctly referenced it several pages later, and then some other guy asked him, "Why are you using that older version from 2015? Use this instead!" with link to current SuperSu -- which was EXACTLY THE PROBLEM! I had to reply to him and tell him "Because the newer versions do NOT work. THIS works!" He had not read my original post, only the reference to it and SuperSu beta 2.62 and had no idea of the Motorola Marshmallow problem.
My point is, sometimes in OP posts I find it helpful (at least for me) if certain very important information is literally in my face, bolded, maybe even colored red.
And also hopefully THIS THREAD will stay near the top of the Q&A section for a while, to help people.
For me is important unlocked bootloader because is easy to install another Roms or Stock Roms..
If you have unlocked bootloader you have totally control of your Turbo

YES! With unlocked bootloader and root, you own/control your phone -- not the carrier or the manufacturer.
In my hard won experience, you NEVER, NEVER take an OTA straight from your phone. You let others suffer any consequences, and you later install it manually after it is fixed/uploaded to XDA forum. There will be several copies available in many places and even tweaked, debloated ROMs based on any OTA.
But the first thing you do when you buy a new phone is unlock it and root. (Do NOT let it update to newest software! You can do that later AFTER you've rooted.) After that you control the phone, no other person or company controls your phone. A friend of mine didn't know this and bought a Moto X. She first turned it on and updated to latest software, THEN gave me the phone to root, install stuff. I looked at it and said, "There's nothing I can do." IF she had given it to me new, out of the box with the older software, I could have worked my magic. She updated to the newest firmware which closed all the exploits.
NEVER, NEVER take an OTA straight from your phone.
That's right.
I had a big problem lol because one day decided back Lollipop to KitKat after downgrade my Motorola dead ..
Was difficult for me .
First should unlocked bootloader.
And the end my problem was solved..
I like LG because is pretty easy to use.
Motorola is a little different..
You are a good person because always share personally ideas..

You can....but its not recommended, and if you do it you are doing it at your own risk.
Also keep in mind that if you update the "Germany ROM" to 4.4.4, you can NEVER go back to the Sprint ROM (safely, without great risk of bricking) until Sprint releases their FULL 4.4.4 SBF. Otherwise you would be "downgrading" which is well documented to put you at an extreme risk of bricking.
Good Luck :good:

Yes. It should work just fine for you, but I don't support anything other than the stock sprint rom with my Sim-Crack.
You might TRY this, first: When you flash the 4.4.2 Germany ROM, depending on whether you are using RSD-Lite or Manual Method either:
1. If using RSD Lite, unzip the SBF for the germany rom, and edit the XML file with Notepad or similar. Erase the 2 lines containing "erase modemst1" and "erase modemst2"
2. If using the manual method, simply skip the two commands "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2".
If you do that, the Sim-Crack should persist and you shouldn't have to re-do the entire procedure after you change ROMS.

German Stock Rom for XT1053 running 4.4.3
Hello,
I just registered to the forums today. Have been lurking for a while but since I finally received my Moto X DE today I have a few questions.
*I hope this won't be regarded as hijacking this thread, i just want to avoid opening a new thread for something that might have been posted already.*
My XT1053 is the US GSM Verison, it has been imported. Therefore it german is no language option in the currently installed ROM.
To be able to use touch control etc. in an effective way (english language per se is not the problem) i want to flash a german Stock ROM.
Best suited one i found on sbf-droid is Android 4.4.2 Blur_Version.163.44.2.ghost_row.Retail.en.DE. But i read often that downgrading may make you run into serious issues, even bricking the device.
I also want to be able to receive the german OTA update to 4.4.4 after flashing to 4.4.2, if that is possible. If that is not possible i would even tend to stay on the US 4.4.3 until there is a flashable 4.4.4 german retail on sbf-droid.
This is the current info on my ROM etc.:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Right now everything is running fine with the ROM, except the language issue. I even have 4G. Also i feel no need to root the device right now because I first want to see how it suits me as it is.
Further i read that SafeStrap is able to install the ROM in a new partition. Maybe this is the most secure way to achieve my goal and havng the chance to easily revert if it goes wrong?
So i already searched for a anser to my question but, honestly, all the information i gathered here somehow got mixed up in my head. Now i would feel way better if someone had a heart to give me a quick advice or just a link to the right method.
[TL;DR:] I have a US GSM XT1053 that is totally untouched and running stock 4.4.3 (212.44.21.ghost_row.Retail.en.US).
I want to install a german retail ROM with the ability to update to german 4.4.4 easily and asap.

You need to wait until the full 4.4.4 German SBF is available to do this without risk of bricking.
The problem is that you are already on 4.4.3 -- if your phone were on 4.4.2 or earlier, it would not be an issue since you would not be downgrading.
You need to hang tight until the 4.4.4 leaked german sbf is released. If you decide to attempt to downgrade, you are doing it at your own risk and may very well end up with a brick.
Good Luck.

Ok, thank you for the confirmation! So i will just sit tight for the next weeks and F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 on sbf-droid constantly
When 4.4.4 shows up there, i might return to this thread for details...
Hello,
after sitting in my cave, waiting for weeks i am back.
Since yesterday i am getting the US 4.4.4 update offered and it is beginning to annoy me.
Therefore i checked again if there is a german 4.4.4 sbf available.
I found this german 4.4.4 sbf (XT1052_RETAIL-DE_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26_54_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip) on a filefacctory moto X firmware website that i cannot link due to restrictions.
Is it safe to flash it on my US XT1053 that is currently running completely stock (EXCEPT THAT I SWITCHED TO ART RUNTIME!!!) 212.44.21.ghost_row.Retail.en.US?
Also i currently have LTE with my phone in germany, so it would be nice to keep it that way
.
Does anyone have any tips on how to do it the most secure and easy way? Maybe also doing some sort of backup?
Ok,
i just decided to take the US 4.4.4 OTA for now. I don't really miss german, except for the Touchless Control. I will now stick to the US Version until the german Android L SBF is available. I just dont like to wipe the Phone now and then wipe it again in a month or so when Adndroid L is available.
Hi yall.
I'd like my device to have the purest user experience possible. I've just uptaded my phone to Lollipop, and I'm looking after 2 features:
-google dialer and messenger app (found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/themes-apps/lollipop-google-dialer-messenger-t2940395)
- auto rotate on lock screen and home screen as well (I know it's just an option to toggle in the system)
These 2 things require root. However, I'd like to keep my warranty.
Do you think it's possible to root it, do these 2 things, and unroot it again (while obviously keeping the modifications)???
Thanks a lot,
Roumaru
Afaik, as of now there's no way to keep your warranty when rooting your phone. It can only be done by unlocking the bootloader first, which leads to an irreversible flag.
I'm sitting in the same boat.
Can you please explain how to root the moto g 2014 with lolipop 5.0.2 in germany ? can i just take the root tutorial for 4.4.4 or would it break my phone?

There is no way to unlock the bootloader and keep your warranty unless you bought it and live in the EU. EU regulations don't allow a loss of hardware warranty just because of software modifications.

Just a very condensed version because there isn't any difference (except latest twrp is necessary):
1. Follow Motorola's instructions to unlock the bootlader.
2. Flash TWRP 2.8.5 with fastboot.
3. Flash latest SuperSU with TWRP.

Read this very carefully, at least twice from start to finish. Make sure to read the whole thread, not just the OP.
Then, if you think you understand everything, proceed at your own risk.
Rooting, bootloader unlocking, etc. is for advanced users only. You have to know what you're doing, else you're going to mess it up.
Just one thing regards the app you wanna...
Google dialer... The default dialer of android stock 5.0.2 is not google dialer?
I don't see the difference, if is different some one let me know.
If the priv-app is from android 5.x.x it may not work on android 4.4 or any under 5.x.x
Google messenger app, it can be installed via play
Be very careful in flash a dialer app, because one time I've done it (not that app from that thread) and I could not open the dialer app, or received call... I had to flash the rom again...
again... If the priv-app is from android 5.x.x it may not work on android 4.4 or any under 5.x.x..
the two applications of that thread are priv-app.

The final decision on that depends on your carrier. If there are multiple carriers there, it's possible that some have it and some don't.
can you do a undectable mobile hotspot on a rooted moto g (with metro pcs or sprint) ?

Follow all the steps in the above threads correctly and you will get a rooted phone !
I have a used Unlocked XT1064 US Version with build 21.85.23 and I want to upgrade to lollipop but it does not work OTA. I am assuming it's because this phone has a custom build? (it seems to also have TWRP). So I believe have that I have to do stock recovery, but my question is which stock recovery firmware do I need to install that will allow me to get the latest updates OTA? and Is this the best way to upgrade?
Thank you
Look in the "G 2014 Android Development" forum at a thread by Shawn5162 titled "Windows Tool Restore to Stock". Sorry, in this app I can't pull up the exact thread. Also it's going to matter who your carrier is since a few carriers won't push out an ota ever.

It's unlocked GSM... thanks I saw that tutorial, but are you sure that it provides the correct framework version for me?

It will. Also, look at the following post. The first 6 steps are a step by step for getting back to a stock kit kat phone. Everything after 6 will be for going up to Lollipop. You can get the image from Shawn's post for 21.85.17 and do it manually from the link below, or use the tool.

Since it's a 1064 I'm guessing it's for use in the US. I'm also thinking that it won't OTA because either you need to drop back to 21.85.17 or you're on a carrier like Consumer Cellular that doesn't do OTA at all. If you still can't get OTA and want Lollipop, then you can do what the poster did in the above link and use all those steps to get to Lollipop. I would suggest what ever you do, read all the posts if possible because sometime you get helpful hints that make the process a lot smoother.
Also ignore the fact that the above is for a Consumer Cellular phone. They're standard 1064's, but will never get OTA's.
Please forgive my dumb question. I'm just wanting to make sure I don't brick my phone. What can Mofo flash onto my Turbo? Can it do ComputerFreak274's 1.3.0 and such? I've read a buch of stuff, and I just don't have a solid answer.
Thanks,

Mofo isnt used anymore. The latest lollipop update SU44 can have its bootloader unlocked via the sunshine app, which you can install TWRP and flash SU and any Moto Maxx rom, including computerfreaks
Good answer above. To add more information, once your bootloader is unlocked via Sunshine and you have TWRP installed, here's all the goodies you can have.

Hi all. I'm not sure if I should post this here as well, but I just wanted to make sure that anyone who does not know that they can use the ROMs for the Moto Maxx for their Droid Turbo is able to do so (with an unlocked bootloader of course).
Here is the link to the one that I am maintaining:
Stock CyanogenMod 13 unofficial

Those that I am not a part of:
Official CyanogenMod 13.0 & 12.1

If most people already knew this, then please ignore it. I just wanted to make sure those who weren't aware got the chance and knowledge. I'll try to post a complete list, but please forgive me if I leave something out.

Add to that a custom kernel:
[Kernel][All Quark]BHB27-Kernel[5.1.1][6.x.x][CM base ROM's]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/kernel-bhb27-kernel-t3207526
The discussion threads for various ROMs, TWRP, kernels are found in this Droid Turbo forum as well as the other Quark forum:
Motorola Moto Maxx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx
All the Quarks shared one forum until end of last September 2015. But the forums were split because the Droid Turbo bootloader was still locked down at that time and there was no real root, no TWRP for that one Quark. Whereas, the other Quarks had active dev work. Then two months later in November 2015, the Sunshine exploit became available and the Droid Turbo XT1254 could join the dev party! :good: So, you have to go back and forth between to two forums to find all the stuff.
The CM dev graciously created a duplicate thread over here, when it was removed the first time due to the split. But still most of the real dev discussion happens over in the other forum.
Hi all,
Im new to this website but not new to installing customs ROM's on phones. Its been a while but i did it years ago on my S3. Also, I know there are probably threads out there already for this so if this is just a redundant question please forward me to the right place b/c i haven't been able to find a clear answer on my own.
So here is my situation. I have a SM-G900A that I requested and unlock code from AT&T for and is now "unlocked" and I am running android 6.0.1. My girlfriend has a SM-G900V that is supposedly been unlocked by verizon and i moved over to my AT&T account and its working fine (with the exception of lack of LTE data). To my understanding it is not possible to flash a custom ROM on either of these if they are on anything post android 5.0 release. Is this true? I have not been able to find any custom ROM build that say they are made for these models and TWRP doesnt have a version specific to these either.
Has anyone successfully put customer ROM's/bootloaders on either of these 2 devices? I have really only used Cyanogenmod in the past and was very happy with it. But all i have seen is that people say that these 2 models are SOL if they have android v.6 on them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Check the link below, the first 4 posts or so have the information on downgrading and rooting. I don't know about the Verizon version, the AT&T version bootloader is completely locked down so we can not flash a custom recovery like twrp. Flashfire works like a charm though. The custom roms are limited and pretty much lollipop variants. There is currently no root or custom Rom for marshmallow.

flashfire gives the error "Please update SuperSU to v.2.40 or newer" which I already have. I tried the older ones 1st and it gives the same error. I am not sure what to think about it except I got it to work before with the exact same files from what I recall. is there another proceedure perhaps?
