Yes currently there is no way to ROOT v7 Bootloader and this is really sad
Could you please tell Me what version BL I have? My BL ID number is G930PVPS7CRH2 I would really appreciate it. As well as possibly unlocking it if anyone cares to explain.

You have version 7. Not sure if you can unlock without going though Sprint.

So sprint will unlock the bootloader if you request it?
Also my phone keeps trying to make me do an ota, I keep saying later because it's hard enough trying to figure it out now, do you know what the latest update is about or where I can read about it?

I meant sim carrier unlock. The s7 bootloader is locked down pretty tight. There is an update to b8.

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?
Don't think this will happen, all of the devs basically have Pixels.
Nope. Root most likely will not happen.
Spotty is being optimistic...

What about using the Dirty Cow exploit? I've heard it can root almost any Android no sweat.
Has anyone tried Sunshine yet?
I've personally tried Dirty Cow, and I have yet to find a binary that doesnt break my device or not work. I have also tried SunShine, and it does not work.

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.
has anyone tried DR.Fone for root yet? on the site it says xt1650 is supported but only 6.0

Installing now, but pretty sure it won't work with nougat. Someone should try if they still have MM... There isn't a way to roll back to MM?
**EDIT** Does not work on Z force droid with Nougat.

Motorola's version is called RSD Lite...although I haven't used it since owning my DROIDX and X2. Switched to Samsung for a few years.

Hmmm.... Might give that a try further down the line. I've also enabled the OEM unlocking setting and I've been wanting to tamper around with that for a bit but I don't know if you can actually unlock and be able to do anything with that because of Verizon.

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.

I've seen a few unlock code generators on the web. Are they worth a try?
I'm just wondering because I see a big bounty for it on here, and no links to it, but a quick google search popped this up and I'm reluctant to try it until it's been confirmed..
Thanks..

Looks like they are just prepared for when we can unlock the Sprint bootloader. The link they have there takes you to the TMobile directions to unlock bootloader, which unfortunately doesn't work.

So is this link false hope or mis leading info for rooting the sprint version. Seeing that you said its for the tmobile verison to get the root .?

This link is premature clickbait.
The only devices with unlockable bootloaders are TMo and US996. All others are presently unrooted, although the community such as it is, is working on it.

You can't upgrade because the bootloader is locked. The bootloader is locked because Verizon are money hungry and want to ensure you need an upgrade.
but in developer option there is an option to unlock boot loader isint that suffice ?
bump.
anyone please update
is it or is it not Verizon?
Hi all, I am in no way a developer, found out about this site from a Quora post about *drumroll* rooting a DT2. My question is this: I purchased my phone reconditioned (whatever that entails) from Amazon. It does not have the Verizon check mark on the bottom--does that mean I can root it? Please help!

Could we trick the DT2 into believing its an update for it, but then update the firmware to unlock the bootloader?... How does Verizon update the firmware themselves if the bootloader is locked?
If you intend to do basically anything with this phone I highly recommend unlocking the bootloader and leaving it in that state always. Especially do this before accepting any kind of beta ota because you might not be able to roll back without bootloader unlock. Do not for any reason try locking your bootloader again unless a rom you are using specifically says to do so like Copperhead or you may end up semi or hardbricking your device. Having and leaving your bootloader unlocked also makes it possible to recover from almost every single possible problem that can arise with the device on a firmware/os level.
Yes,
Recent Non Beta OTA Update also Ruined the Phone. Since the Device was Locked it turned into a Useless Brick Now.
So its Strongly advisable to keep the Developer Mode on with USB Debugging ON and Allow Boot-loader Unlock Option ON at-least.

Doesn't matter where you are, but there is a post or two on here talking about a guy who can unlock it using remote access and installing flexihub on your machine. If you wanna try it make a windows VM real quick and wipe ur phone after you back everything up that you need

A misparsed or improperly fetched OTA can semi-brick a phone yes. It can also happen when the manufacturer or carrier push a broken update. Both scenarios have happened many times with lg and Samsung phones for example
Hello all, when I try to downgrade my phone I get an error in odin saying that it has failed and it says 'Auth' and my phone gives an error saying 'sw rev check fail [aboot] fused 11 > binary 4'

Applies to the original and intact firmware on the phone.
The BIT code protects the phone from downgraded versions. You can't do anything about it. You can only downgrade the version with the same BIT code, which is tied to the bootloader.

I see. I’m assuming that’s because it’s a Verizon device? There are tons and tons of other people being able to downgrade online but I don’t think any of theirs are Verizon locked
