I managed to modify a turbo system image file to include tethering on an unlimited data plan. Download it here. Use with Mofo root. This has been confirmed to work for several people, but others are reporting problems. Your mileage may vary.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF IT BRICKS YOUR PHONE, SETS YOUR HOUSE ON FIRE, EATS YOUR CAT ETC.
Thanks to @aFancyTickler for helping me determine what files to modify.

I'm pretty sure the way I did it if you install xposed installer it should read xposed as installed. You will not be able to install any modules due to write protection. Again no guarantees.
I'm going to be busy for the next few hours. If this is broken you'll have to wait a bit. For your information all I've done is modify the build.prop to include provisioning (for wifi tether) and add the gravitybox app to system apps. I also installed what I believe is the correct file for xposed framework to work. Even if it doesn't the phone should still boot. No promises. Good luck to anyone who chooses to install
Ekkoria said:
I managed to modify a turbo system image file to HOPEFULLY include tethering. This image also potentially has gravitybox baked in if I did everything right, but the wifi tether is much more likely to work because I actually know how that's supposed to work. NO GUARANTEES AS TO EITHER. I DO NOT YET HAVE ACCESS TO A ROOTED TURBO. If you want to test this sucker out, go here. Use with Mofo root.

If you are rooted and bootloader unlocked then you do not need to make a system image file you can flash or make roms.

I know but I have a developer edition and not everyone has one. I want to make a rooted system image, then relock my bootloader and see if this method will work to provide root for those who do not have developer editions.

Ok just a heads up was able to restore phone with original rooted image file
yeah i think the problem may be with the xposed app_process. untill i get my linux all settup , @Ekkoria can just add the modified build prop with tethering to the file for now untill i figure out how to add xposed properly
I am going to watch this thread. I am happy with the turbo other than not being able to tether.
Thx for the development!

...I read this post 5 times trying to figure out exactly what you want to do, or even think you can do! Honestly if you don't know anything about rooting then this particular phone will end up as a brick. The bootloader is locked on AT&T S4. No way around it unless you are NOT on MF3 or later... Is your phone actually rooted?? You can't reset the counter anyway.

The bootloader is locked on our phone. You wont be able to downgrade your firmware. What firmware are you current on? I can exlain to you how to get back to stock and rooted with Safestrap and the TWRP version that works for it.

The recovery that works with Safestrap is TWRP. And depending on which firmware you just flashed it will either be version that is specific for that firmware. Do you have Safestrap installed yet?

It should have booted past that screen before waiting the ten minutes. Can you still get in Safestrap? Sometimes you can have a bad download. Try one of the mirrors for the rom link and download again. Or you can try to wipe and flash it again. I had problems with hyperdrive when i tried using it. (Some roms just don't work on some people's phone). Can you try another rom like. Deadly Venom or Google Play? Seems most people have fewer problems getting those installed.

Your best option, and proven to work would be to just reflash your current firmware or downgrade back to MK2. Then root it easily with Saferoot. Then Safestrap it, which comes with TWRP recovery. Once that is done you can either restore a backup of the rom... if you have one on the SD card. Or download the rom again for the firmware you are on.
That's what I would do, (have done) when that happened. None of which is very hard to do either. So... what firmware are you on?
---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------
I really wouldn't know how to correctly walk you through with installing Safestrap through ADB because because of the different way it mounts.

WARNING: You REALLY need to UNDERSTAND and read EVERYTHING or you MAY brick your phone!
IF YOU HAVE NOT UNLOCKED, THIS BUILD WILL PERMANENTLY PREVENT YOU FROM DOING SO. STOP NOW and GO UNLOCK!
Purpose of this thread:
To get you, the locked or unlocked RAZR HD xt926 owner, from any version to 4.4.2 (KDA20.62-15.1).
Things you will need:
FXZ KDA20.62-15.1 thanks @stras1234 as always!
Instructions:
Use the RSD Flasher with KEEP DATA to flash this on your phone with RSD.
OR
Use the House of Moto with KEEP DATA to flash this to your phone with fastboot.
OR
Use RSD Lite to flash it, but, you will lose data unless you modify the XML file manually.
This will get you a clean OTA install. You will lose root.
Thanks, I was looking for the fxz.

Um what? That system version is for a Droid maxx. This FXZ is for the razr hd. There is no possible way you flashed this FXZ on a razr hd and ended up with what you're saying.

Take a look at it yourself.
That didn't come from this FXZ. What, EXACTLY, did you flash?
I flashed 'VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml' using your utility with the KEEP DATA option.
I don't know what to say. I for sure didn't hunt around for a Maxx fxz and I certainly don't have a copy of one sitting around on my PC. I downloaded the .zip you posted above and used your utility to flash it. Afterwards I flashed dhacker's CWM (v6.0.4.9) and SU (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip). That is it. I did nothing else.
that screen shot made me lol
other than the obvious, correct phone, wrong version, the build date is funny too.

I've already had someone verify the FXZ in my download link and send me a screen shot of it. It doesn't look like yours so I really don't know what to tell you. There is no way possible that the FXZ I posted has anything that shows obake in it as that's a COMPLETELY different device. This is the xt926 RAZR HD and RAZR HD MAXX. It's not the Droid Maxx which is what the screen shot you posted shows. Post a copy of your swdl.txt file from the RSD flash. You'll find it in your RSD install folder.

You need an unlocked bootloader to flash TWRP (which flashes SuperSU). There is no known root method available yet because the phone has only been out for about 8 hours.
The Sunshine team has apparently said they will not be supporting Motorola devices for 4.4.4 in their 3.0 release, only HTC, so unlikely it will work there.

Didn't work for me. Too be safe I used a virtual machine with a snap shot taken before installing so I can revert back without the risk of spyware. Also tried Kingo but no luck with either.
---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 AM ----------
Also vroot during the root attempt installs 2 apps on your phone and who knows what it installs on Windows without running a regmon, if you do decide to try it make sure you uninstall the 2 chinese apps when your done trying. Also like I mentioned above I would highly not to install vroot or Kingo on your daily driver windows machine. Leave the testing to people who have virtual machines they can install these apps on.
I have used vroot and kingo in the past to successfully root so I know they do/can work, they just haven't been updated yet to work on the Droid Turbo. Hopefully they will.

Dang, you guys got my hopes up reading through this.
I keep checking the other Moto forums for root options. I'm banking on anything that will root a Moto 4.4.4 phone will work on ours. The Moto G 4.4.4 update has a later build date than our version.
Me, Honestly Annoying, and 4 others are working getting root, and fastboot working on our device. As far as where we are at (as of this post), fastboot pulls up on the phone and the computer recognizes it, most fastboot commands work, but the ones involving unlocking the bootloader don't work. On every file we have tried up to this point, except for the userdebug I posted a bit ago we get file "signature verification failed", but that is due to a locked bootloader. we have been working nonstop to get the fastboot to function in our device so we can unlock our bootloader. If, and I mean if, this works right, it will easily be applied to quite a few devices. so, in short, we are working on it. We will release the files we have once we are SURE that they work like they are supposed to.
Just don't ask how long it's gonna take to be completed, cuz we honestly don't know. But we are working almost night and day to get this done
For real... Been day and night on this one
If anyone has any ACTUAL questions (ie. not an ETA), please ask them. If you would like to offer ACTUAL help (ie. not "I will test your root method" because there is none to test) please tell us here! Also, @autoprime you have been strangely quiet about all of this, can you offer some insight about where we are? It would be much appreciated
Let me know if there's any help I can render!

Nice!!! Are you sure it actually didn't just rewrite aboot during boot to the stock aboot? And what was modified on your aboot?

We don't think so, though we will have to do some testing on that...
And schizoid cross edited the T-Mobile aboot with our aboot to see if the fastboot commands will work, we're still testing that

We checked, it definitely isn't writing the aboot back when it boots. Still won't recognize unlock commands though...
you haven't explained what's being done so there's not much to comment on.
good luck to you guys tho. :good:

Can I add you to our Skype chat? I think it would be easier to explain that way

sorry, never have and never will use Skype.
I'll chat on any public XDA thread or #LG-IRC on Freenode IRC.
How are you getting fasboot, wiping recovery or laf? flashed another devices aboot?
you mention changing aboot... you have directly edited the stock Sprint LS992 aboot.img? Or flashed another devices aboot?

No worries... this is OK
A while back Tungkick made me a TOT that booted into fastboot. Don't know what she did to edit it, but it works. However it did not recognize ANY fastboot commands, but once I enabled userdebug by editing the build.prop it started to recognize some of them. As far as aboot goes, that's all @schizoidd and I'll let him explain
ok so what has been edited and done. i looked at our aboot and compared it to tmobile's and noticed a few things were missing like the "welcome to fastboot" and a few other things. and on ours, there was some random characters that were in ours but not in t-mobile's nor on the verizon one, so on the stock edited, i just deleted that code. and like Honestly Annoying said, it booted without an issue. i also created another file with tmobile and sprint's aboot merged together and it also booted.
the things done on the merged aboot, sprint encryption, keysand a few other things, tmobile everything else. i have the files but will not upload to here until i know what's all going on
@autoprime ^^^ last post explains what we're doing
Like the title says, the new T-Mobile version of the S2 with the Snapdragon processor. Is there any type of development being looked at for it? I'm looking to be able to debloat it at the very least. Any knowledge of that here at all?
UPDATE: So looks like that TWRP for the T819 works great for the T818 devices. Go to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ta...2-1-galaxy-tab-s22016-sm-t713-t3390627/page67 and follow the directions there.
All thanks and credit to @ashyx and any other TWRP devs for this.
I too would like to know about this. I just want root. I read that 813 may be possible because of processor but I don't know

Don't know if you noticed in the TWRP thread, but we finally have our answer. Try using TWRP for the T819. I'll be giving it a try after work. If you do it sooner can you let me know if it works? One of us is going to have to be the guinea pig.

Did you go into developer settings and make sure OEM unlocking was checked? Says in the TWRP op that you may have to do that.

There is a permissive kernel on the development section for the 819. It might be worth a try. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/kernel-sm-t713-permissive-kernel-t3425938/page17

Neither of them. I misread. Could have swore I saw 819. My bad dude. Got a little overexcited when I saw TWRP was working.

Yeah just wanted to check with you to make sure root worked, and what root you used. SuperSU or PHH?
