there are many great roms available and i havent needed xposed for anything
my understanding is that, at least with most roms, xposed will work but can cause stability issues
if you need it for something i dont see how trying it can hurt

i think it did, you were right. after installing xposed, i can't boot into the OS, i tried restoring a backup to no avail either, it doesn't get past the pattern lock, resets to the lockscreen again and again. i tried a factory reset, the phone is not even going past the connect to wifi screen, no wifi is being shown after factory reset ...
stuck with a non-working phone...
any suggestions? you'd know i'm already boot unlocked and stuff

Apologies for copying the same reply from above, thought it'd be easy for you to know what has actually happened
You may have used the wrong version of xposed. You have to use the version for your chipset.Installing xposed messed up things for me. i can't boot into the OS, i tried restoring a backup to no avail either, it doesn't get past the pattern lock, resets to the lockscreen again and again. i tried a factory reset, the phone is not even going past the connect to wifi screen, no wifi is being shown after factory reset ...

You probably need to flash stock Marshmallow firmware again. Your bootloader will still be unlocked.
Then flash TWRP and root.
You could try flashing a custom ROM instead. That might work, but safest bet if ADB works us to flash stock firmware and go from there.
i like following section 0 of this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684 to flash factory firmwareInstalling xposed messed up things for me. i can't boot into the OS, i tried restoring a backup to no avail either, it doesn't get past the pattern lock, resets to the lockscreen again and again. i tried a factory reset, the phone is not even going past the connect to wifi screen, no wifi is being shown after factory reset ...

you will need to flash the stock firmware that was on the phone to get it to boot
the flashall.bat file may be in the MCG24.251-5 firmware package link on that post(i dont remember)
just put contents of your correct stock firmware and the flashall.bat file in minimal adb and fastboot folder, go into bootloader mode and run flashall.bat.
Then flash twrp following section 2 of the same guide.
i actually try to wipe the phone and do this each time i switch roms for a clean install

I was on 5-5 firmware I recall when I unlocked, should I get that or the one linked in the thread you've mentioned?
Flash 5-5, but there is a .bat file from -5 that makes it easier. Use that bat file, but flash 5-5.

Can anyone guide me how to root my droid turbo xt1254 on marshmallow 6.0.1
Yes, someone wrote an extensive guide in the same section where you posted.
[GUIDE] How to unlock your bootloader, install TWRP and gain root access
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684
I am looking for a permanent solution. Not a temp root as I have found a nogut based room for my Droid turbo and I want to install it but I can't get to root it and unlock my bootloader or marshmallow.
Bootloader unlock, installing TWRP custom recovery and flashing Magisk or SuperSu root is permanent.

For some reason you are ignoring the solution that has been used since 2015. It's the ONLY permanent solution.
We have several Nougat ROMs. Which one of these will you be using? The guide above is how ALL the Droid Turbo users installed these ROMS. It's the only way.

good reply!! still i find ways to unlock bootlader of verizon turbo)))'
Well, if you mean some other permanent method than using Sunshine app to unlock the bootloader to root the Droid Turbo, you're not going to find one.
But good luck.
You know what will work -- Sunshine. It's what everyone has used since November 2015 for Droid Turbo permanent root (which requires bootloader unlock).Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+

how can I unlock the bootloader by any other method?
still am trying to unlock bootloader.but still pending??1) There's other ways to pay besides PayPal. You don't need a bank account, either. Go to the website and see. You can pay another way.
2) Also you bought this Droid Turbo "used" knowing the bootloader was locked down -- because you researched it first, right? You know about XDA, so you came here (you're here now and you have posts on XDA even back in 2016) and when you were thinking of buying this Droid Turbo XT1254 phone you read it WAS locked down on most recent Verizon firmware MCG24.251-5-5. Until yesterday, Sunshine wasn't released for the most Verizon firmware on the Droid Turbo, but would work on all previous firmware (or could be updated to work on eligible firmware).
(Or if you bought it prior to March 2017, you could have unlocked via Sunshine on any previous firmware. Only those people taking the March 2017 OTA to MCG24.251-5-5 or buying after March 2017 with updated software installed could not use Sunshine to unlock this bootloader. Only those with MCG24.251-5-5 had locked-down bootloaders which could not be unlocked via Sunshine, until yesterday. But let's assume you bought it AFTER March 2017, and it already had MCG4.251-5-5 firmware. Because otherwise you would look silly -- if you took OTA firmware update you KNEW would prevent Sunshine from working -- if unlocked bootloader and root is important to you.)
And yet you STILL bought the locked down Droid Turbo XT1254 -- knowing it was locked down on most recent firmware and might never be unlocked. (Because saying you didn't know that would mean you were spending money on a phone you didn't know anything about, and you wouldn't do that -- would you? Help me out. I'm trying to make you look good, but it's getting hard...)
So, I guess... unlocking the bootloader wasn't REALLY that important to you when you paid money for the phone, or you would have either bought another model phone (perhaps Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx XT1225 or U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 with Motorola-supplied bootloader unlock code) or at least a different used Droid Turbo XT1254 -- one that was not yet on the most recent (March 2017, MCG24.251-5-5) firmware.
Because you're not the type of person who just buys an Android phone and THEN wonders "Oh, how can I root this?" Right?
Not if root is important to you, like me. You research first... You would know that of all the Moto Quarks series (XT1250, XT1225, XR1254), ONLY Verizon demands Motorola keep the bootloader locked down on their model, the Droid Turbo XT1254 -- and only Sunshine devs have the brains and work ethic to combat that evil authoritarian regime. For all the other Quarks, Motorola supplies free unlock code on request, but Verizon is Satan and won't let Verizon do that for the Droid Turbo XT1254.
3) This phone still works exactly like how you bought it, and you were happy with it.
All that has happened now in the past two days is Sunshine now suddenly works on every Verizon firmware for the past two years -- including MCG24.251-5-5. (At least until Verizon releases another "Security Update" to block Sunshine, which silly people will take, hoping it's Nougat.
So, go to the alternative methods of payment for Sunshine, because they deserve to be paid for their hard work. And if bootloader unlock or root was really important to you, you wouldn't have bought this particular phone -- unless your were hoping Sunshine team would WIN yet again. :good: And they have.

Can't unlock bootloader by any other method than Sunshine, but that post you quoted is outdated. Sunshine now works for all the Droid Turbo firmware, it's just that at certain points in time Verizon had released "security updates" to prevent it from working while leaving other actually dangerous exploits untouched. Now Sunshine will work for all Droid Turbo firmware as Verizon has forgotten about it and moved on to control-freak on other newer phones.
If you pay for Sunshine, the devs will give you customer service support to get it to work. Also read this thread:

The thread we are posting in right now is just an addendum "new" thread. That other thread is the detailed, official guide.

Stop buying Verizon? Why are you buying "Verizon" carrier phones in the first place? You're not a Verizon carrier customer. Verizon isn't a manufacturer, Motorola is the MANUFACTURER. And there's plenty of Motorola phones that have bootloader unlock. It's just that U.S. carrier Verizon demands Motorola lock the bootloader of their Verizon carrier phones.If it is only the way to unlock droid turbo bootloader then i dun want to unlock it and stop buying verizon, there is more charming android phone and they are easy to unlock, root and custom recovery, i had 10 droid turbo for my employees but now i have only one in my hand, all 9 i kicked out and baned, now nokia is my first love
All Verizon carrier phone bootloaders are locked down and that's the way it will always be. Even Verizon Pixel (Google) phones sold by Verizon have locked-down bootloaders. People try to find ways around that, but with U.S. carrier Verizon, it's always a battle.
If you buy a Verizon phone, you have to research first to see if devs have managed to bypass that nonsense.
Sometimes they have (2014 Droid Turbo XT1254), sometimes they never did (2015 Droid Turbo 2). Only last week was there an exploit found for the 1st gen Verizon Google Pixel phones.If there's not an exploit (like Droid Turbo 2), you can buy an alternate phone like the same-series Moto X Force (both are Motorola "Kinzie" -- same phone just different bands, which may be actually what you need).
For Quark there's the EXACT clone Moto XT1250 instead of the Droid Turbo (same exact bands, same FCC ID, free bootloader unlock, even runs on Verizon with a Verizon SIM card) or the Moto XT1225, which is the same-series Quark. The XT1225 has no CDMA, but has more LTE and HSPA bands.
Bottom line is if you buy a Verizon phone you are getting a locked down bootloader and it's up to YOU to research whether it's been cracked yet or not. If you complain here, it means you paid money without bothering to find out what you were buying in the first place.
