[Root && Unlock] Droid Turbo 6.0.1 mcg24.251-5-5

[jcase]

@autoprime got the initroot working with internet for Droid Turbo - https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4-play/development/root-autoinitroot-motorola-bootloader-t3639316/

This provides a temp root until reboot, after rebooting you have to go into the bootloader and run

fastboot oem config fsg-id " "

To clear out the ramdisk address.


While temprooted, SunShine will work to unlock the device again.

@jcase, please clarify...

Do you mean mcg24.251-5 or mcg24.251-5-5 (with extra -5 at the end?) The one with the extra -5 at the end (mcg24.251-5-5) is the most current Verizon Droid Turbo firmware (released March 2017) which did NOT work with Sunshine. Whereas mcg24.251-5 (with only one -5) already does work with Sunshine.

Fantastic. Yeah, I figured that had to be typo.

Will make a lot of people happy.

So just to be clear, the correct method would be to install sunshine, install temproot per the instructions that you linked to, sunshine it up, and uninstall the temproot by performing fastboot oem config fsg-id "" ?

i would assume you could install sunshine apk before or after temproot. does not matter which.
boot using temproot.
sunshine it up.
fastboot oem config fsg-id ""

if you dont run fastboot oem config fsg-id "" afterwards the phone will boot loop.

for those not planning on using sunshine and just want root there are alternative methods in post #2 of the temproot thread for avoiding the boot loop without needing to be near a computer.

Oh My Lord. @jcase and @autoprime do it again! Even though mine is unlocked my replacement 32gb isnt and this may make me buy a new screen for it to use! Looks like i know what im doing on my day off tomorrow. Transplanting this screen back onto its orginal donor and unlocking that sucker

Thanks. If I remember correctly, Sunshine reboots the phone automatically after doing its thing. Will holding down volume down to boot directly into bootloader after Sunshine completes interfere with Sunshine in any way? Because that's what I would need to do in order to issue that fastboot command without going into a bootloop. Or should I just tell people to go into bootloop, force power down, get into bootloader and issue the uninstall command?

no, pressing volume down or vol dwn + pwr should not interfere with sunshine.
whichever method people find easier.. i'd assume not everyone will be able to catch it on the initial reboot after sunshine completes.

i'd just avoid pressing buttons while sunshine is still running.. but once the screen shuts off have at it.

also, not sure how it is with the turbo but on my g4 play i do not have to force a 'power down' while phone is in bootloop. i just wait for bootloop cycle to turn screen off and then quickly press the button combo to go into fastboot (volume down + power for g4 play).

Great was to slow and now I have a bootloop. Restarted to fastboot but ADB can not find the device. Can anybody help me with the next steps. Bootloader is unlocked so all that is left now is getting the device to boot.

Figured it out myself!

Once you have a bootloop restart into fastboot and open up the the fastboot folder in "auto-initroot_xt1254_quark_vzw_mcg24.251-5-5".

Then open up a command promp and issue the => fastboot.exe oem config fsg-id "" command. That's all!

Thanks a lot to JCase and his team for developing this hack!

FYI @TheSt33v...

Haven't read your updated instructions, but this may be something worth mentioning if you haven't already.

Those instructions were in autoprime's OP, so they did make it into my guide.

See updated guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684

As for the code not working after a failure, I don't think you'll need another code if yours fails, but that would be a better question for Sunshine customer support if you want to be sure before trying it.

thanks for your help
can you please update the TWRP

thanks for your help
can you please update the TWRP

You mean update the link? The provided link is the most recent version of TWRP for our device (except for the one I made myself using only open source and was told not to give to anyone, but that's a story that doesn't need to be opened up again).

Well, technically that's not true. If you want the true latest official version from TWRP's website, here it is: https://dl.twrp.me/quark/twrp-3.1.1-0-quark.img.html

However, that version does not have all the improvements and special features that BHB implemented. For the purposes of unlocking your bootloader and basic flashing/backups, either version will work just fine.

What @TheSt33v said.

This link is to the most recent TWRP with @bhb27 mods for our Quark phones. @bhb27 is our official TWRP maintainer. He's why our TWRP has official status. But he also builds personalized versions which include some features/mods for our phones that other TWRP versions do not have, mods specifically for our Quarks. His modded versions are always better than the versions on the TWRP website (which again are only there due to his efforts).

On that page below you want the modded TWRP with the most recent date -- will always be the one listed at the bottom.
