I want to root droid turbo marshmallow official rom without bootloader unlocked
Can't be done. Unlocked bootloader is necessary for this phone to write to system. Right now (on Verizon/Motorola Marshmallow update) you couldn't unlock the bootloader, even if you wanted to.

Whereas BEFORE the Marshmallow update you could have easily rooted the phone after unlocking the bootloader.

THEN, you could have fearlessly updated to Marshmallow and still retained the unlocked bootloader and all rooting rights.

We told everyone to unlock before updating, if they ever wanted root.

can i unlock turbo bootloader using pc
Please tell me what about my answer and WHY you do not comprehend? I not only say it CAN NOT BE DONE, I explained why.

I can't help but wonder whether this is a joke
Or someone who doesn't know how to read.

Why didn't you unlock before updating to Marshmallow? You've had since November 2015, when Sunshine team cracked the Droid Turbo bootloader. Marshmallow was released early December 2016. And everyone was warned to stop procrastinating and unlock the bootloader, before taking that update.

If you only bought the phone in the past month and it was already on Marshmallow, then your fault for not researching prior to buying -- IF that is so important to you. It's been discussed over and over and over in this forum.

Haha I think my youtube responses made him mad. I guess they were kinda dickish. In my defense though, when people keep asking the same question over and over again, I have to do something to keep it interesting.

possible to do without pc?
Yes. You download and install via TWRP. How did you get root before?

Do you have TWRP custom recovery? And if not, why not?

Your bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is amazing, even just for being able to go back in time to undo any mistakes (restore backup). But also lets you flash zipped files like SuperSu.

You'll need a computer to get TWRP on there. After that, you won't need one anymore. You need to download the TWRP image you want, copy it into the same folder as fastboot.exe and flash it using the command fastboot flash recovery [twrp image file name].

hello friend

Hello, my friend, it is difficult to start with something that is really embarrassing, writing explicitly to you was simple chance, this is also valid for anyone who can read me. I'm from venezuela and just putting on google as is our economy you would know, so it's worth saying that to get even a dollar is very difficult task (miracle I have my turbo droid without asking how I managed to get it jejejeje) ... In short, you and anyone who could donate something to be able to free the bootloader of my droid turbo would thank them very much, I would write them (I only need 24 people besides you to help me with 1dollar that although it costs them work to obtain, it is much more Easy for you than me ... in advance THANK YOU (PayPal: paypal.me/Aldriangel) sorry for my english Ups

Since someone dug up this old thread, let me reply to my own post from several months ago, as it's now outdated. As of right now, Sunshine CAN unlock any Droid Turbo bootloader from the past two years. And if you have firmware before that (older), just update to more recent.

Don't ask how you got it? :rolleyes: OK, I won't, but you are implying less than honest effort.

However, you managed to get the ONE Quark with a Verizon locked-down bootloader. Why didn't you get a better one? Better for your purposes which is to avoid paying anything.

You live in Latin America, and somehow ended up with the U.S. Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254. Whereas, the Moto Maxx XT1225 is the Latin America Quark with the FREE bootloader unlock code. (Moto Turbo XT1225 was sold in India, but is the exact same phone as the Moto Maxx XT1225)

The Moto Maxx XT1225 was sold in at least Chile, Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. I bought THREE of these "Latin America" phones and I live in the U.S. Sort of the opposite of you! But I bought the "Latin America" Quark because it was the better phone for me -- unlocked bootloader and has all the AT&T LTE bands. (I wouldn't mind paying for bootloader unlock if I had to, what was important for me was the AT&T carrier bands.)

Venezuela is right next to Brazil, and the same continent as Chile. Why are you getting a United States Droid Turbo, when don't need CDMA bands and the Latin America Moto Maxx XT1225 is a much better phone for you with free bootloader unlock? (Yes, all the Quarks have the popular Latin America LTE bands 3 & 7. But the XT1225 is also "better" because of more HSPA bands, and 64GB storage. Most of the used Droid Turbos popping up in other countries seem to be 32GB.)

Next time, if you care about free bootloader unlock, don't get a Verizon phone. There's other Quarks, and even other phones. You're lucky there's any bootloader unlock at all for the Droid Turbo -- and that's only thanks to Sunshine. Many people are grateful to the Sunshine team.

But no one forced you to "buy" (steal?) this phone in South America. So, no -- no one is going to pay for your Sunshine bootloader unlock.

Friend, do not insinuate things that are not (treats with respect) ... I did not steal it, I bought this phone because it is cheaper than the others ... if it was difficult to get this for its price imagine the others ... I am glad for You and your pockets full of money
