I'm running stock, but rooted. I was trying to follow option 2 on post #1212 (download OTA update and adb sideload while in TWRP).

Yeah, that's all it says. Weird. I will try the driver thing on the next update since I already used the image file for the latest. If it's still a problem, I'll post screenshots. If not, I'll at least let people know it was the driver in the end. Thanks!

Not sure why, but when I tried to do the "adb sideload otaXXX.zip" from my PC, it looks like it starts but then says "error: closed" after a couple seconds. In TWRP, I do the advanced, adb sideload. My phone is recognized when I do adb devices (on PC) while in the advanced, adb sideload screen...

In the link you provided, the installation instructions are there (but you have to click to show content). Can you not find the instructions or which step in the instructions are you stuck at? Plus, you would be in the "for Loked device" section.

Do you have a image in mind to flash that provides what you want after you do this root or do you plan on removing all this yourself? I only ask this question because people have rooted and then found out it's not the root they thought it was. If you want to make any permanent changes to the...

You definitely can't go wrong with the Turbo. Great battery life like the Droid Maxx, not too much bigger, and bootloader unlock and root. It's my personal favorite right now. I checked out Swappa today to see what they are going for and they are a reasonable $240ish right now. I've been...

This process is involved. Something worth asking is what are you wanting to do once you root? I ask this because modifying system files won't be straightforward either as the system partition is still read only (and won't keep after reboot). If you want to make changes to system permanent you...

That is true, my bad. I forgot about that! Thanks for the correction! ---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ---------- You go to settings, about and look at your build number. If your build is something like SU4-21 or lower then you can unlock your...

Only the Developer Edition phones can you unlock the bootloader. Regarding the custom ROMs, I believe you are out of luck unless someone created an image you could flash. I haven't really checked this part out though so I'm not sure what options are out there.

Last time I checked, the Drivers and Scripts link on the OP on page 1 still worked. Start with those. This should get you everything except the image needing you to go from SU6-7.2 or SU6-7.3 down to SU-6.7. For that file, try: http://motofirmware.center/files/category/17-droid-ultra/ and...

Well, some would argue that we do have root by definition, just not what we've come to expect. It is what it is and we just have to accept it, try to crack it ourselves, or move on. Speaking of moving on, if you are like me and chose this phone because of the battery life, but you would still...

Yes, you should be able to update and still maintain root. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is Xposed if you update past SU6-7. Therefore, if you use or plan to use Xposed, I would not update to SU6-7.3. ---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM...

I can confirm also. I can't remember the actual version numbers, but I was up to firstEncounter's Note 9/5/2015 with extras (ie, Xposed among others) and running SU3TL-39. For grins, I installed and tried Sunshine and it failed because it detected Xposed (which is what was supposed to happen...

Yes, this still works. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on Lollipop. At this point, I wouldn't expect an unlocked bootloader either. This is likely our best option.

Oh, I see what you're saying now. Yeah, I wouldn't know the answer to that question as I haven't had this need. However, I'm curious because I too would think we would be able to have that temp access. Can you provide an example so I can try it out?

Yes, as you found out its okay to update and keep root. From what I've read though, Xposed doesn't work right unless you are on 6-7. I use Xposed and haven't updated from 6-7 so I can't claim that to be a true statement or not. It's only what I read. If you never use Xposed, you're fine. If...

It's a Russian file hosting site, but I thought the folders/files show in English. I always use chrome and it also asks if I want it to translate and I say Yes.

Excellent!

I just re-downloaded the files from the OP on page 1. All the links still work except for the All firmwares link. The Drivers, soft there and Scripts, ROM links still work. In the Scripts, ROM there link, you will see a bunch of files. The file called...

I thought busybox was part of it, but I did this so long ago, I just don't remember too much. However, I suggest looking at post #189 (pg. 19). There actually is a blurb about putting busybox on your phone. Try that first.

In addition to what you wrote, you'll need python 2.7.9 and pyserial 2.7 installed along with the qualcomm drivers (this is the driver that is used when you break your bootloader). I suggest looking at post #189 (pg 19) of this thread. There are good instructions there. Start with that and...

What step did you get hung up at?

I believe so. I checked and I have busybox installed. I figure you should have it.

For the firmware, you could try this location: http://motofirmware.center/files/file/51-cfc-obake_verizon-user-444-su6-7-release-keysxmlzip/ Even though it says for the Ultra, it should work for all three phones (Mini, Maxx, and Ultra).

You should be able to. See post #1316 and also #1330 (pertains to going from 7.3 to 7). ---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ---------- You should be able to. See post #1316 and also #1330 (pertains to going from 7.3 to 7).

I believe SU6-7.2 is the latest anyway. Therefore, if you decide to try it and, for whatever reason, you want to revert back, you should just be able to go through the whole break the bootloader, flash the rooted SU6-7 version procedure again. Good luck!

Earlier in this thread, there were questions about going to SU6-7.2 (from SU6-7 which is the rooted image). Assuming update 24.13.2 also pushes you to SU6-7.2, then yes, you can take the update and still be rooted. However, as someone mentioned (can't remember the name off hand), if you do...

I had the same question with the Droid Turbo flow...I thought I read something that the python script needed 2.7, but I can't remember for sure (plus that was for the Droid Turbo). Long story short, what I do know is that you can have /python27 and /python34 on your system without any...

Just as tprothma says...use Titanium to freeze it. Specifically, I froze Motorola Update Services 4.0 and the update notice is gone!

I'll start by saying I'm by far an expert at this. I took a look at a log from my latest flash and everything matched yours up to the "Sending MAGIC ...". After this is obviously where things went wrong for you. Here's what mine looked like (and your .mbn filelist would likely be different)...

Does anyone know if we can use the larger file split method (16777216) instead of 1048576 for the filesize? I'm trying a second time modification (1st time went through without any problems) in attempt to change the wireless charging and boot up sounds. Whenever I try the 'diff new old'...

My understanding is that you can make all those changes, but it's just more painful because you have to extract the system image, make your changes, flash your changed image (shortened for simplicity). I did this when I made changes to allow for Adaway (created a symlink) and tether...

Just installed it and tried it. Awesome, thanks!

Yeah, that's what I figured...I haven't done it before but have already started my research on how to do it. We'll see how it goes. ---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ---------- I don't have a shared data plan and am grandfathered on unlimited. When...

I searched this thread and I see different comments about it. In addition to Xposed, I am just looking for the tether patch and to be able to use Adaway. Is there an image out there with this? Oh, does anyone know how to remove/hide the notification that there is an update available for the...

I was looking at purchasing a used Moto Droid Maxx XT1080m (non-dev edition) running 4.4.4. Based off what I read, Sunshine is working on some with 4.4.4. Does anyone know if the XT1080m is one of them? I'm having a hard time finding one running 4.4.3.

Oh man, talk about being a noob! To think, I was running GravityBox with rooted 4.4 earlier too (facepalm)! Check box was all that was needed. Thanks!

I used the firstEncounter's v3 patch version (Xposed v72). I used the "all in one" image that included the extras patch (only because I tried to patch the rooted v2 image with the v3 patch and kept getting checksum errors when executing the xdelta command - but my sha1 values matched)...

You could look into Tasker. I used to do your #1 using it and I have to believe you could do your #2 with it too.

Okay, makes sense. Thanks!

Yeah, sorry...I was rushing to go to a meeting and wanted to just throw out the question. I should've provided more detail. I'm running Computerfreek's v1.4 without AdBlock (yes, the first version), MinMinGuard v1.9 (latest one I see). For example, I have selected Chrome and have "Enable Url...

MinMinGuard working? I've read mixed reviews on MinMinGuard working with Turbo's root. For someone who has it working, is there a successful method to get it to work (specific Computerfreek version, MinMinGuard version, etc)? It doesn't slow my system down...it just doesn't block any ads...

Glad to hear you finally got it to work.

Well, if you are willing to keep trying, I would try this. 1. Did the md5 hash on your zipped image file match (technically, this isn't the problem you state you have, but you never know)? Likewise, did your mofo download match (I can't remember if that had an md5 hash or not)? 2. You...

Wait, so what happened after you entered the correct filename? To me, it looked like that was the only problem (and it's great that you provided screenshots too because that was very helpful). You spent $20 for mofo and you are so close, don't give up yet!

Double check the filename. I noticed you put 247 when the file is 274 after Computerfreek. There might be more but this one definitely stood out to me. Actually, you should just be able to start typing Com and then press the tab key and it should auto populate.

Interesting thought...setting the custom DNS instead of using the ISP. I'll look into that for mine and monitor. As mentioned earlier, for me at least it was before the mofo root and these images.

This is not going to be helpful...but I experience the same problem you mention. It's not all the time, but does happen fairly often. My workaround has been to tap the "tab button" - the number with a square around it like you were going to swipe the tab away, but just "select" that tab again...
