Database Develop

A really stupid question...

Why can't those of us who have locked phones just flash the developer's edition OS? By the time I learned of the Developer's edition phone, I had already passed my 14 business days return of my phone. The long root process is a bit much for me... If there is no other way, I'll give it a try though...

I'm not exactly sure how Motorola's bootloader works, but I'm pretty sure the Developer Edition is signed with different keys and will possibly be a different size. Motorola's bootloader I'm sure checks these things and will deny it.
The bootloader is not part of the OS, it's a different thing all on its own.
It really does seem as simple as you said OP but there's been plenty of phones with locked bootloaders, if it was as simple as that, there wouldn't need to be SafeStrap and other bypasses / exploits.

If you haven't looked at JCase's new SlapMyMoto 1.0 root method, it is more simple than the previous versions. It still requires going back to 4.2.2 camera OTA and losing all your data, but some of the ADB/Fastboot steps were removed and simplified, from what I've seen.

OK after a lot of sweat, I was able to get back to 4.2.2. How do I know if I have the camera patch?

If you followed the instructions in the root guide and used the proper SBF to get back to 4.2.2, you should have the update. It links directly to the correct SBF for the root process.

Depending on the model of you phone you can flash the developer edition rom,
XT1060, Verizon Retail, Moto Maker or Developer edition can flash the same Developer Edition recovery images direct from Moto's web site.
XT1053, GSM Developer or T-Mobile USA can use the GSM Developer recovery images direct from Moto's web site.
BUT this won't impact your ability to unlock your phone's bootloader.
(If you don't believe me that the rom is the same, Do a FC /B of all files contained inside the developer edition recovery images requested from Moto's web site with those inside the roms/images downloaded from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 and you will see other than the XML, all files are identical. And the XML just tells RSDLite what to flash. Also when you request the GSM Developer Edition recovery files, you get a file named.. TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4-13.11.1Q2.X-69-3_MR2_1FF.xml.zip )

Well, after a day and half of sweating, and a few hours there where I thought I bricked it, it's rooted on 4.4. I have rooted every android phone I've ever had, and this was by far the hardest... But i'm really happy with it. Got the wifi tether going and life is good. Thanks everyone for your replies...

This was surely the most involved root I've done. I think it's partially because I got this phone much close to launch than my previous devices. They all had one click root methods available by the time I tried.

True the X hasn't been out long, and to complicate that more, 3 roms have been there for it... release, first OTA with camera fix, and Kit Kat...
Combine that with newer phones being harder to root... and yeah, one click root method isn't a reality at this point.

Is there any possibilities for rooting turbo's lollipop?

Someone says that mofo cannot be used under android 5.1, because verizon added patch against mofo in the update package. Is this true?
If this be true, seems that versizon has little willingness to open the bootloader.
when the upgrading of lollipop was delayed on June 10, there was rumor saying that verizon might open the bootloader. Now I will say "wholy ****"
computerfreek274 says he's working to get a rooted image of version 5.1. Bless him!

1: Yes mofo, in its current state will not get you root on LP, and yes, AFAIK, the mofo exploit was patched.
2: Yes verizon has no desire to give you bootloader access.. I cant source that but if you find me something opposing it... I will be grateful.
3: The rumors were false. There was no verizon unlock in any capacity.
4. (this is more my opinion) Compfreak was building customized images that can be flashed via MOFO based on what people wanted.. tethering/xposed. I hope he/she has the ability to find a crack through 5.1 but ultimately it was @maiko1 effort. Root on LP will be a wholly different story.

So no root yet or ever for LP on turbo?

No for yet; no one can be absolutely certain if root will be achieved before most of us move on to another phone in a year or two.

just upgraded yesterday. i have the option to unlock the bootloader in 5.1. when you enable it it throws all kinds of warnings about your system not being protected.
maybe it is really unlocked with this option. is there any way i can test this?

LP is rooted if you did not take the OTA update look for my lollipop forum. As I had told everyone not to update OTA or you will be locked and no mofo. If you Are still on 4.4.4 head on over to forum and flash a nice rooted copy of lollipop.
If you did take the OTA update well you know you are not going to be getting root or unlocked. I do not think you will ever get it. Sorry.

You have to think there is some internal memo with the execs at Verizon...
"You know, Google added this 'Unlock Bootloader' option to the menu's in 5.1 Should we have our engineers remove it?
Remove it?! Are you kidding, you know how many people will take the upgrade thinking they can actually use that feature?! Find that hole in mofo and patch it.
Sir, finding the hole in mofo is taking us a while, its only April and our guys say to patch it will push back 5.1 to July.
Yes. Do it."
Lets be happy none of them got the idea that every time someone tries the unlock button it adds $10 to their bill in "network security."

Your best bet is probably trading your Turbo for someone else's who is still on 4.4.4.
I don't know why people take OTAs if they want root.

All that does is enable the OEM unlock command to be used IF you have the unlock code for your phone. You have no way of getting the unlock code for your phone.
If the Enable OEM unlock is not turned on, even if you have the unlock code for your device, you can't unlock it. You have to enable OEM unlock to unlock your phone but simply enabling it won't unlock it - you need the unlock code.

So that's it then.... Turbo development is dead. KK was rooted, and screw LP? That's unfortunate...

... No, that's not what anyone said. WTF is wrong with you people that if it's not 'done right now' that it's never going to be done. Team Ninja is working on unlocking the Turbo's bootloader, but absolutely no one knows how long it will be even team ninja. It's not like they just sit down and go "Lets apply the 'super secret' root method to this phone." It takes a good amount of work and luck to find a method that works to root the new devices because of how far android has come in security. Saying stuff like "development is dead" it's an insult to the people that are spending time working on it.

I think, root droid turbo is very difficult work. Maybe we never root it successfully. I will sell my droid turbo and by Samsung galaxy S6 in next month if i can't root it.

guys ive done a lil looking into this update sadly i was one to update it to 5.1 shame on me but the whole non-downgrading function mite be a joke ive heard rumors of a guy downgrading from 5.1 to 4.4.4 using root junkys unbricking method now at first youll get a soft brick (as to be expected) but the XT1254 originally comes with 4.4.4 and i dont see why after this soft brick why you couldnt just run the flash thru fastboot again and have it work if anyone wants to try it heres the source of the info last comment on the page if it works then were good also idk if needed but it mite help to unlock the BL thru ADB
ps all i did was google droid turbo 5.1 downgrade to 4.4.4 wont let me post links so message me for screenshots

the thing is that its not the phone its self its the firmware the S6 also doesnt have root for 5.1 plus youll have the KNOX counter plus motorola is more rooting friendly than samsung so stick with your droid trust me there are enough people working on the root access someone will get it just give it time

So it may be late and I may be pessimistic about it but the next step here... search ebay or those swappa sites for a 4.4.4 Turbo., those can still be rooted with MoFo and then upgraded to 5.1. It appears replacements Turbos are being shipped with 5.1 now, and while there was hype at the end of August about a group unlocking the bootloader...it still hasn't come (not to say it won't but......) the fact that a Turbo 2 is coming soon means that at this point, it's a game of just seeing if that bootloader unlock will happen before the drop of the Turbo 2.... Once that happens the game basically starts over, new crews will work on unlocking/rooting that and who's to say that won't take 1-36 months? Who knows if those people working on the Turbo 2 were the ones working on the Turbo 1.. and since they don't tend to announce progress, we'll never really know how close they might have gotten before giving up and moving on to the latest flagship.
The best advice I can give is that on your next phone, whatever manufacturer or carrier or inkling you have to update.. before you do anything.. hell, if possible, before you buy, check out that phone's xda forum and see how development is being done. Taking an upgrade all willy-nilly is the first step in being screwed having root.

well with us having fastboot and the OEM unlockbootloader in dev options we can unlock our BLs thru ADB with Fastboot OEM unlock i know it works i got it to work so i dont see why we cant get root

The turbo does not have BL unlock, if it was so simple as using OEM unlock we wouldn't have a bounty out for unlocking the bootloader. If you managed to unlock the bootloader you may have one of the other quark devices not a Droid Turbo.

Odd bootloader unlock experience.

When I unlocked the BL sunshine stayed on the unlocking part, after I paid, for almost an hour. So I hit exit and tried turning off the phone, and my phone hung up on the turning off. So I rebooted i, with vol down and power, and then the bootloader unlock warning poped up. So then I went about and got twrp through flashify, and everything seems to be working ok. Did anything similar happen to anyone else, and should I be worried it messed up my phone?

This happened to me also and if
your bootloader is unlock there is nothing to worry about. I would put money on your bootloader is unlocked.

Turbo Support has been merged into the main APK, and no longer needs mofo/Kingroot to work.
This version requires you to be on the 5.1 SU4TL-44 with the matching 3.10.40-perf-g90ddf4a Kernel.
Code:
Happy Holidays !
[B][COLOR="Red"]SunShine 3.2 BETA for Droid Turbo [/COLOR][/B](All other devices use the 3.1.XX release for now, as this is untested on other devices). Again DO NOT USE THIS ON ANY OTHER MODELS.
This is a beta, why? It needs more testing and has some bugs, but it is safe and it works. We wanted to get it out today, over the next day or two we will patch some bugs and push another version. (No need to upgrade if you get unlocked).
This version requires you to be on the 5.1 SU4TL-44 with the matching 3.10.40-perf-g90ddf4a Kernel.
You must either be rooted with Mofo, or Temp rooted with the latest kingroot from [url]http://kingroot.net[/url] (yes it works on the 5.1 SU4TL-44 release, it may take a couple tries, and is free).
When Kingroot finishes rooting, go to the setting and uncheck and recheck the option called "Root Authorization" (or something like that), than go into Sunshine,
You MUST have wifi on, even if not connected to wifi.
If it gets "stuck" for more than 5 minutes on a test, turn phone off, then check your bootlaoder. If its not unlocked, try again. It can take a couple goes (you only get charged once, and we guarantee it will work). KingRoot can also cause it to fail if their root bugs out for some reason, solution is to just try again. Uninstalling Kingroot , rebooting then reinstalling may be needed in some cases if it fails.
FYI. Pete

If you flashed twrp you're unlocked. all is fine.

Ok perfect it is all unlocked and running fine, I figured it was OK but I just wanted to share this. I wish I had seen a post like this, because I was a lil worried. Thanks for the reassurance and Merry Christmas!

A few had that issue.
You're not a first.

Yeah, mine did it, too. After it was stuck there for like 25 - 30, I just rebooted. Don't know what happened, to cause it stick, but it worked, so I didn't think to investigate further.

Any way to install Magisk on a Moto G6 (XT1925-5)?

I found guides on how to install Magisk on a G6 Plus and G6 Play, but not on a normal G6. Is there a way to do that?
If I unlocked my bootloader, grabbed this TWRP and flashed Magisk, would that work or would I need some dm-verity boot image like in the Play-guide?
Any advice on how to get Magisk on my phone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Looking at the same thing, but with XT1925-12(I would expect these to be the same) on Verizon(don't know if that makes a difference or not). I was about to go through the guide for the Moto G6 Play(expecting the whole process to be the same, only with different ROM images). I am expecting to have to post the ROM images from my phone, and have to wait for someone to patch it.

This is currently being worked on you guys. The G6 is an entirely different piece of hardware apart from the plus and the play variants. I would recommend sitting tight for a little while, while Dev work is being smoothed out behind the scenes. There's no ETA, but there are ways to contribute to help Dev potential. There is a partially working TWRP for the ALI, but I would go so far as to say it's intended for developer/tester usage. Thanks for your patience everyone.

i have root on my xt1925-6
i installed the magisk manager, patched the boot.img with both "Preserve force encryption" and "Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity" checked, and then flashed the patched boot image through Fastboot. as far as i know certain modules don't work but i can use Titanium Backup which is all i really wanted

I quoted you two because you both mentioned having the xt1925-6 variant. If you guys were able to get root, I'm assuming you had no trouble unlocking your bootloader then, correct?
I purchased the xt1925-6 variant last night and tried unlocking the bootloader but the Moto site says the device doesn't qualify. I am far from a noob when it comes to this process, especially with Moto devices. I maintain several ROMs for the Moto G4/G4 Plus devices and am very familiar with custom ROMs and kernels (I've even already cloned the kernel source and am ready to make a custom kernel for this device).
Point is, how long after you got your device were u able to unlock the bootloader?

Moto E5 Play Verizon Prepaid - Can anything be done?

I have read some other threads here.
If I understand correctly, Verizon Prepaid Moto E5 Play:
No BL unlock possible.
No root possible.
I wanted to run Lineage. At minimum, I wanted to block the Google bits from running for privacy. I'm out of luck with this phone, right?

Thanks much. I came to the same conclusion. The E5 Play is a nice phone and a good value but only for someone who wants to run stock. I ended up getting a used LG G5 RS988.
