Successfully rooted Motorola Droid turbo

[HT123]

What happened with this? Did the guy ever post a video or anything. I was having the same discussion earlier on, It was a technical interest as didn't feel like installing twrp so i unlocked the bootloader, rooted with kind root and then installed supersu and it was persistent. I was told that the Turbo checks the whole system directory on bootup, It had been a while since i messed with android rooting, but that is accurate.

The key part is you unlocked the bootloader.

Thus, you can write to the system, so the SuperSu was permanent (persistent). Kingroot will mess up your system, or has messed up other people's systems. SuperSu is better... but you replaced Kingroot with SuperSu.

Again, you unlocked your bootloader... so it could all be done.

TWRP, however, is great. If only for the "time machine" aspect. "I wish I could go back to when my phone was working well, before I messed it up...." Oh, you can. You just restore the TWRP backup you made! I make a backup almost every day. Occasionally, I am REALLY glad I did so!

Right, that is why i was wondering if he ever posted a video or is there was any follow-up.

Does anyone even care if this dude has root via a different method? I can understand being in a foreign country but $25 is beyond worth it and a fraction of the cost of this phone. Just pay it.

what just pay it?

25 dol is abuse for unlock bootloader

i understand hard work from the guy who make this happen but 25 its just too much

It's not when these people purchased and destroyed many phones in order to achieve the bootloader unlock.

lol, i paid my $25 dollars as soon as sunshine unlocked the turbo, one of the best purchases i ever made. running android 7.1 on it now, verizon doesn't own me anymore.
this actually saved me money, i would not have kept this phone for so long without being able to update it since verizon blew us off (actually this is the longest i have ever kept a phone).

Agreed 100%. Sunshine is one of the best purchases I've made in recent memory. We're talking about the price of a decent meal and a drink or about 4-5 cups of coffee from Starbucks. If you don't like the price, that's fine, but there's no point in complaining. It's a steal in my opinion.

So true. It made me want to keep my turbo as a back up phone and tinker when I feel the need
