Rooting Failure Droid Turbo 2 - Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
This is my first post and I have no idea what I'm doing so please correct me if I'm doing something wrong. I am trying to root my Droid Turbo 2 using Kingo. Every time I get to 53% it skips to 100% and then says the root failed. I saved the log, so I can post it if someone wants to see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Check with the app manufacturer to see if it is compatible with the Turbo 2.
As far as I know there is no publicly available root or unlock for our device.

Droid 2 Turbo hasn't been rooted/unlocked yet so that app isn't gonna work.

My guess is because it doesn't exist.

There has got to be a at least a root exploit if we cannot figure out how to bootloader unlock...

Why does there have to be a root exploit?

that's not particularly likely. with each new version of android, and with the new security updates, the chance of finding even a temp-root exploit has decreased exponentially. Plus, with the lack of developer motivation for the turbo 2, there is even less of a chance. The only real chance is a new version of something like towelroot, a one-size fits all solution

Root

I have a Droid Maxx, and Razr Maxx HD and perhaps some beer cash for the answer to root...
I was thinking flashing twrp, then let it root, or am i way off or require an unlocked bootloader? I tried sunshine, but no go as it requires root.
So if i understand, you can get root without an unlocked bootloader, or is an unlocked bootloader a prerequisite of root? I am thinking not, but i am a Windows/SharePoint guy and pretty dumb to linux...

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.
Has anyone tried Towelroot?

Yeah, I didn't think I'd need root but the dpi on this thing is just way too high. For being such a great display it's hindered by the scaling. Easily fixed with root though!!
Found this on some Chinese site. If I had a backup phone I'd try it. But I don't. So can't risk bricking. Anyone else want to take a leap of faith? Ummm... Won't let me post the link because I'm still a noob apparently... So gonna try breaking it up. Just remove the line returns and spaces.

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.

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.

[Q] Root exploit for 183.46.15

Is there any hope on rooting 183.46.15. is it Verizon that locks bootloaders and patches kernels because i have also have a verizon note 2 with locked bootloader and patched kernel. But some people were able to make root scripts for this phone running on JB and KK although their bootloaders were locked and kernels patched. I have rooted my phone running KK but cant flash custom recoveries/ROMs.
Right now, there are no exploits. Making another post about it isn't going to speed things along, either.

Asking about root/unlock again isn't going to change the outcome. There is nothing right now.

Replacement phone has 5.0 - how can I root it?

My old phone had some hardware issues and because it was still under warranty, Verizon replaced it. However, it has lollipop, not kitkat. How do I root this beast?

It depends on the version of

If you are on any version after BOD5 pretty sure you will not be able to root or downgrade to kit Kat to gain root

Look bubba, I rooted my phone a year ago when I got it (and the previous 3 phones I owned) and that's the last time I did it. I don't do this every day so I don't know where every little "thing" is or how to do it in my sleep.
Thanks for not being any help...
Go to About Phone and look at the build number. The last 4 character is what you're looking for.

Yeah it's been the same method to find your build for every android phone since ever. But you can't find it all of a sudden, after rooting 3 other phones. OK good luck with all of that then.

Nope, sorry, OE1 and OG5 you can't downgrade because of the locked bootloader. But there is a good news that they may found away to unlock bootloader on Verizon G5, we just have to wait and see if they will in fact release the exploit.

Root for Verizon?

I just got this phone (coming from an unlocked rooted VZW S5) and I'm pretty bummed out not seeing any root guides for this specific version (I know Verizon rooting is spotty). Can someone point me in the right direction?

Nope. Root most likely will not happen.

Honestly, I wouldn't hold my breath with Nougat out... Only possibility to me right now would be hoping that Verizon released unlock codes to Moto like they did for previous X devices... But that won't happen for at least a year.

From what I've read that toggle is only a 2ndary safety toggle. You still have to submit to Motorola to get an unlock code and Verizon has forbidden it.

How can I root my Droid Turbo 2?

Hello,
As of my 2nd year of owning this phone I wanna see if I can root it. Many times I tried before but none worked. This time I'll do anything to root it.

There's no way to root this without unlocking the bootloader first, and the bootloader is permanently locked down. Might as well stop looking
