There's a few threads where people were trying to raise a bounty for it, not sure if it's being actively worked due to the lack of dev attention for this model.

Apparently the Sunshine team that finally cracked the Droid Turbo has had no luck finding an exploit on this phone. It's gonna come down to giving one to someone who can crack it and pay them if they want money... If you really need root, at this point it would be easier to buy an X-Force, you can get the unlock code from Motorola. Verizon is not letting them hand out codes for the Droid Turbo 2.
There's a few root threads to read over, no one has gotten close to cracking the bootloader yet, until that happens, perm root is not achievable on this phone.
Has anyone gone for the bounty yet cuz I have been waiting for awhile now, I'm considering getting an iPhone or something

Good luck rooting that iPhone.
There's plenty of phones better than iPhone, and which can be rooted. You just bought the wrong phone. You should stay away from any Verizon phones in general, if rooting is important to you. Or at least make sure there's an exploit (like with Droid Turbo) before buying.
Why is there an option for "unlocking bootloader" in developer's options for Droid Turbo 2?
Never understood why Verizon will leave this option on the phone but can't unlock it?

It's an option in all Lollipoo and newer Android OS. Verizon makes sure it doesn't actually do anything.

I am holding off getting the turbo in hopes of a Dev Edition of the phone.

Yeah, I won't buy it unless I can unlock it via Sunshine or some other method.
I too will wait a bit and see how things go hopefully there are dev editions(64gb too!). Gotta plan for the future!! (Lollipop breaking previous rooting methods [><] )

Actually it was about 30 days.
Maxx Launch : 8/20/13
Maxx Dev : 9/18/13
But it was a surprise when it hit the website.
As much as I want this phone I can't go back to being locked. So for me I will wait I don't have an upgrade until June anyway. If they make a Dev edition. I will get it and then just sell my upgrade in June. If not I may just hold out till the next round of phones comes out and see what is available. By then we should see the full 64bit phones coming out.

Waiting is the best option, if you are on Verizon for the dev edition, if you are from another carrier, for the internation version annoucement.
I'll wait for a few weeks to see if Dev edition surfaces up.

My bad, read the wikipedia page wrong when they said "first released 7/23/13". I guess that was the announcement.
Yes I am definitely waiting. It makes sense to me that one will come out for this as VZW won't do one for the Moto X this time around. In my little brain, I'm reasoning that is because they are planning a DE for the turbo instead. Hope I'm right. I can't go back to locked and hoping for root and write ability on every update.
If not, I'm biting the bullet and going with the Nexus even though it's huge!

As long as I can root an international version is fine. Wont touch a phone without root, uh uh, no way, not going to happen. Ever. Or at least until every last phone on the planet is hopelessly locked. But then I think thats just common sense...
A dev edition would be an instant buy from me. No questions asked.
VZW should have a very simple two-step financial plan:
- Step one - release a developer edition of the Turbo
- Step two - prepare to catch the large bag of money I throw in their direction
I've been rooting all my phones, just bought the 64gb turbo. I see no need to root seriously this phone is ridiculous

I agree to a point as far as custom Roms go there is no need. However there are other things that require root. Like WiFi tether cast screen for chrome cast unless this phone has it built in like the nexus does if not then you need an app that requires root.

Haven't tried it, but it does have Cast Screen under Settings | Display | Cast Screen.
I found this site where a guy gives a procedure on how to unlock the boot loader on any Motorola Android phone. Check out the link and lets see what you think. If this has already been posted please excuse my re-post.

Sadly, someone correct me if I'm wrong but, I believe this is for a Motorola bought phone, not a Verizon bought phone made by Motorola.

While this generally works for moto phones, verizon phones and a few others are not eligible for it. If you try, the moto site will tell you this.
Only hope is that someone finds and exploit similar to the G3 and is able to force TWRP onto the phone without unlocking.
My G3 still technically has a locked bootloader but they managed to push TWRP to it anyway.
Unfortunately with the Turbo being Verizon exclusive and such a small following, I doubt we will ever see the day especially with the "Turbo 2" coming out. Best bet for now, is Motofail ($20) to push custom roms.

All depends on if devs buy this phone and figure out an exploit. If they do there is a good chance of not then no. I do not see moto unlocking it since Verizon wants the phones locked down harder then apple does.
Exactly, there's always hope if someone put effort into it. Maybe is good idea to contact someone who already did for other Moto devices, collect some money to donate phone, etc. Keeping LP instead of MM, may increase chances to find exploit.

It is a security check in the OS, won't unlock the bootloader on the phone.
Please use the search function, this has been asked and answered a number of times...
Short answer: it doesn't do anything for us, as the boot loader locking is separate from that.

Root is automatically activated when the phone has been in free fall for more than 10 seconds. Find a tall building and throw your phone off of it.
Seriously, have a look around before you post questions like this.

With it being a Verizon Droid brand, there's a good chance the answer is never. Probably not a lot of developers with the phone and Big Red is pretty serious about locking it down, hence the answers.

Actually I have looked. I have seen several sources that claim rooting this latest VZW Droid phone is trivially easy. They even post instructions on how to do it.
Now, I wasn't at first going to believe those sources, because they have some odd errors, like 1/2 way thru their instructions they start to refer to the Mot Z Force Droid as being a Samsung phone.
However, based on your knowledgeable answer, I will take your vouching that these sources are being 100% reliable.

Quite the opposite. If there isn't a root method on this forum, then there isn't one that works.

I've seen several sources claiming root for NON-VZW Moto Z phones (i.e.: Bootloader unlocked), I've seen none valid for VZW Droid (i.e.: Locked down like fort Knox)... Guess we have different search engines.
Wrote to Moto, no intention of unlocking it either. So unless someone finds an exploit/backdoor/Universal unlock key, you're SOL.
The current issue is that taking an update will destroy your chances of getting root. Take 0 updates until an exploit is found that will allow us root. Dirtycow/quadrooter are the only linux exploits that we might be able to get to work. Its just a matter of who. I know Jcase (https://twitter.com/jcase?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) has posted in a couple places about compiling dirtycow and even has an "Android Hacking" basics kinda PDF floating around. He has done a lot in the community (SunShine) he doesn't deserve the hate being thrown at him for not developing a root method for this one device.

pretty much true
I wish that some developer would even try working on this. I myself have thought of many things and will probably create a separate post for root soon since I have a couple ideas which I feel MIGHT MAYBE work, but I need the XDA community to pitch in and help me think of a method. Like I said, I have a rough idea but it needs refining, which I can hopefully get from the community.
Moto z force jailbreak
So what you guys are saying it's inpossable to jail brake our phone? So I should just go out and get a new phone if I want to jail break it?
I was aware the when I bought my phone used that the Droid version probably wouldn't see root anytime soon but I bought it anyway because I did research online and felt the phone had good enough specs and the UI looked good and had cool features so I personally don't even need or miss having root on this phone. My reasons for rooting phones has ALWAYS been for performance tweaks with occasional UI adjustments.
My last phone was an Acend XT (H611) which before having the bootloader unlocked and flashing a debloated and tweaked stock rom it was an utter POS. I paid $50 for that Ascent XT and I liked it but performance and UI wise it doesn't even compare to the Moto Z Force. So I personally don't even miss having root.

Yeah need bootloader unlocked and Verizon won't let Lenovo Unlock our Droid version.
I am more concerned about when we will get another update for Oreo because it has problems sometimes.... I have to restart my phone once a week because the fingerprint scanner or chop for flashlight stop working or some other random bug pops up.
Damn Verizon, thets how they killed the turbo 2
I don't have a Droid Maxx 2 because I only use rootable phones but I stumbled on the instructions on the page at the link below and wondered if this could be a valid method. I know NOTHING about the site, the tools, the instructions, etc. I'm just curious and look around for a breakthrough from time to time.

Doesn't unlock the bootloader, sadly. This phone is on lockdown until Motorola / Verizon decides to give customers the unlock key or until someone figures out a way to hack it but seems doubtful.
This phone is getting nougat though!

Unfortunately, that website is just full bull s***. There's no auto root tools, its just click bait.
You go through all the hoops of "click here" and you google all kinds of things trying to find out whether this is malware only to find that when you click on "download" its the age-old scumbag scam of "complete one of the 3 surveys to activate link."
Don't fall for it if you have no idea how to spot a scam. If you do know how to navigate that crap, by all means check it out to see if I'm wrong as I often am. Should you be able to download this alleged auto root tools, reply with instructions, and i'll try to use it on my droid maxx 2.
