New OTA Available for Droid Turbo

[TheSt33v]

Small update to build SU4TL-49. Not Marshmallow. Claims "security patches and improved network performance."

How to Update with an Unlocked Bootloader

The update will only work if you have a 100% unmodified stock rom and recovery menu. If you're on CF's rom and you want to update to the latest version of that, see his page for details on how to do that.

1. Backup all data. Just in case. Definitely do this if you're coming from CM13 or RR. I don't remember if the OTA wipes your data or not.
2. Download this SU4TL-44 100% stock flashable zip here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-su4tl-44-100-stock-t3320815
3. Download the SU4TL-44 stock recovery menu here: https://mega.nz/#!L1AkQD4T!qoZIlLa-wuUBLMEi_gE574meiHd6Pehb34a-x3Gb-V8
4. Boot into TWRP.
5. Flash the file you downloaded in step 2 by selecting Install and browsing to the file.
6. In TWRP, select Install, followed by install image, and select the recovery image that you downloaded in step 3. Tell it to flash it to recovery, and flash it.
7. If you're coming from CM13 or RR, do a factory reset in TWRP. If you're coming from a modified stock rom, I still recommend this, but it's not mandatory.
8. Reboot to recovery to confirm that you see the stock recovery menu (a dead android with the words "no command").
9. Boot the phone normally.
10. The OTA update should appear. Take it and let it do its thing.

You now have a 100% stock, bootloader still unlocked, SU4TL-49 phone. If you want TWRP back so you can start flashing stuff again, keep reading.

11. Download and install Sunshine from here: http://theroot.ninja/
12. Download your preferred version of TWRP. The current stable version is here: https://dl.twrp.me/quark/. If you want baybutcher27's modded version that includes lots of handy additional features, you can get that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66877208&postcount=116
13. Download Flashify from the play store.
14. Open Sunshine and follow the instructions until it gains temp root. Disregard the message that says it isn't compatible with SU4TL-49.
15. Open Flashify, select Recovery Image, then browse to the version of TWRP that you downloaded in step 11. Flash it.
16. Reboot to recovery. You should see TWRP's lovely smiling face staring back at you.

How to Install the SU4TL-49 Modem Only

1. [HIGHLY RECOMMENDED] Flash the modded TWRP I mentioned earlier, select backup, backup only your modem.
2. Flash Computerfreek274's modem package that you can get here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545070682210570
3. If you have GPS or other modem-related issues, try flashing this to fix them: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24531035584725320
4. If you decide you don't like the new modem, restore the backup you made in step 1.


Troubleshooting

Issue: You followed all of the steps, but you still get an error when you try to take the OTA.

Solution: Backup your data and perform a factory reset using the stock recovery menu. You can do this by rebooting to recovery like you do when you want to boot TWRP, and when you see the "no command" screen, hold the power button and press volume up. Then select factory reset and do it.

silly question.
I am with bootloader unlocked and rooted, with stock rom.
My XT1254 show that an update is available .xxxx.49
May I update the smartphone, by itself (no TWRP, that I have installed )
Will it relock my bootloader?

He just said it won't lock your bootloader

Taking the update is perfectly safe as long as you are unlocked. However, if you are rooted, the update will fail. You must first flash a completely unmodified stock rom.

This will take you back to full stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-su4tl-44-100-stock-t3320815

Thank you. I think it is worth waiting for MM, or full updated rom

Original Motorola DROID Turbo receives a security update from Verizon

Original Motorola DROID Turbo receives a security update from Verizon

3 May 2016, 18:19, by Alan F.

We hate to take all of the fun out of your life, but if you happen to own the Motorola DROID Turbo and you receive the update from Verizon that is heading your way, the phone is not receiving Android 6.0. Better that we shoot down all hopes now before you start believing that the new files contain the latest Android build.

The update brings the latest Android security software to the DROID Turbo and it also adds improvements to call performance. Just because this is the OG Turbo doesn't make it totally irrelevant. Verizon still offers the device as a mid-range handset priced at $480.

Verizon suggests that after receiving the notification that your Turbo has received the update, you make sure that the phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network or a strong Verizon cellular signal before starting the updating process. Also, your battery should be fully charged before you start the update.

On Motorola's support page, it says that the Motorola DROID Turbo is still slated to receive Android 6.0 "pending partner support." Which means that if you still own this phone, you need to keep pushing Verizon to support an update to Android 6.0.

Haha maybe they finally properly patched stagefright. Someone should check that.

My guess is security patch = patched exploit that sunshine uses, mayyyybe patched stagefright if Moto could be bothered to find a dev with absolutely nothing else to do.

 

[Nitefire77]

Did a restore of the modem backup provided, rebooted phone and everything working as it should. sadly didnt improve my signal any, but thats what happens living in the boonies.
Flashed it on Resurrection Remix 5.6.8 05/08 build

It went fine for me but I backed up my SU44 Modem to be safe, and I wanna remind everyone to do the same, its always wise to be safe

I ran Stagefright Detector after the update and it reported CVE-2015-6602 as a vulnerability.

did you just flash the zip with the modded twrp or is there a special procedure. mine keeps failing

 

[TheSt33v]

Extract the zip to /sdcard/TWRP/backups/[your phone's serial number]. Then boot twrp, select restore, and restore the backup.

^What St33vo said. Just restore modem from the extracted zip in your twrp folder. Keep it in the Sut49 folder once unzipped so you can select it under restore.
You don't need to wipe caches or anything. Just restore and reboot

thanks, that worked. i guess i'm too tired to do simple file operations. i thought it was an installable zip.

Seen VZ update the razr hd to close a unlock and never released another update again. Still hoping this is not the case.

Well very shortly before this update was released, people were talking about getting soak test invites. If the soak test was for this update, that's the shortest soak test in human history, and why would you need a soak test for such a tiny update? I'm still hopeful that we'll see a marshmallow soak leak relatively soon.
