Maxx and Moto x are different software and hardware
don t try

So how does one attempt to flash something to the turbo? I see people saying it will brick the phone - is this an automatic assumption that its possible to fully flash a firmware to the droid turbo (brick or not)

its not an automatic assumption. However, i gotta admit, id be tempted to flash xt1250, not xt1225, on my turbo. im trying to make things easier, though. #unlockthedroids

It's part of Lollipop, part of the security measures. And no, it won't mean that we can unlock our bootloaders. Unless Verizon and Motorla change their stance on unlocked bootloaders.

I had a feeling that's what it was. But we can always hope.

I tried to unlock it just for shiggles, and of course it didn't work. It even gives you a finished response, but alas, was still locked.

thats for device protection, a function like apple iphone lock,

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...evice-protection-feature-and-how-do-i-use-it/
if you disable that option, you can flash things on the phone leaving the phone unlocked and open.

Here's a screenshot from mine. It's kind of strange to me that they're talking about security and locking features but it clearly says allows bootloader to be unlocked. But I'm skeptical, unlocking a bootloader in my experience has never been as simple as a flick of a toggle.

Welcome to XDA, where the people can't read and the search button doesn't matter. :silly:

A mod needs to close this thread.

My Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225 has unlocked bootloader, as does the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250, which is the device IDENTICAL to the Droid Turbo XT1254 (same FCC ID). The XT1250 runs just fine on Verizon with Verizon LTE SIM card (like a non- Verizon Nexus 6).
Speaking of which, the Motorola Nexus 6 has unlocked bootloader.
My point is, it's Verizon that is obsessed with locked down bootloaders, not Motorola.

Sorry, but

Sorry, but it DOES mean the bootloader is unlocked this time. Turbo 2, in fact. Verizon + Moto must have changed their minds..

Sorry, I don't believe you.
Install TWRP and root and post screenshot. If your bootloader is unlocked, that will take 5 minutes.
Another reason I don't believe you is because if this were true it would be all over the Droid Turbo 2 forum and over there they are still complaining about locked bootloader and no root. So, you really don't know what you are talking about.

The Moto X Force (KINZIE) is the International version of the Droid Turbo 2 (KINZIE). It does have unlock-able bootloader, and has TWRP and root. When the Droid Turbo 2 bootloader actually is unlocked TWRP and root for KINZIE will work on it, just like TWRP and root for QUARK works on the Droid Turbo XT1254 (Quark) with all the other Quarks.
And over there, they are still ONE forum, just like all Quarks were one forum until a couple of months ago. So, it's easy to keep track of what's happening with all Kinzies.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but that slider...yeah, it was on the Turbo when we got the 5.1 update. I could slide it to the "Unlock" position until I was blue in the face, but it had about a snowball's chance in hell of actually unlocking the bootloader. As @ChazzMatt suggested, try to flash TWRP and if you can, I'll eat my words. But the days of an easy unlock on VZW phones are long gone.

So, I just bought a Moto X Style.
And on the Developer options, also have the slide saying OEM Unlock.
It said that, meaning, during the process, the system/ tool will need the permission to unlock
and that slide allows that to happen

Not relevant whatsoever for the Verizon locked down bootloader Droid Turbo XT1254. I wish people wouldn't keep digging up old threads that have been refuted.
The only thing that works with the XT1254 is paid Sunshine fueled exploit. Other Quarks (XT1225/XT1250) can be unlocked via Motorola website for free.

I was able to unlock the bootloader and root on Moto X XT1052

Hey guys,
So I didn't actually know that Motorola had unlocked this version of Moto X 1st Gen. I'm happy. I think I will be installing some custom ROMs.

You mean they allow unlocking on their website for non-dev versions? I'm on xt1060 and just tried to unlock to no avail.

Yes. I'm on xt 1052 and I thought I'd give it a try and it gave me an unlock code. Non Dev version.

You luckily have an unlocked bootloader too.

Question... I just got my turbo 2 today and logged in, set it to see developers options in it, and it has the option to disable locked bootloader... Does this truly not disable it?

Nope, as discussed in other threads, that's in the OS for the Nexus devices and doesn't apply to ours.

Are you sure about that? I only ask because I read through a lot of that thread and nowhere in there did I get the impression that this worked for the G5 Plus Amazon. In fact, it seemed like they specifically said it didn't work.

A bump here... I have the same question. Have things changed since November?

Bump again... Just wondering where this device stands as my mom needs a new device and I was looking at getting this one as none of the new / current Moto devices from Verizon have root methods... She uses the unlimited hotspot on her old droid turbo at the moment...

Bump..I would surely like to know also...

The answer is the same... No, it cannot be rooted EXCEPT if you happen to have an old one that was never updated, so December 2016 (?) security patch... I don't remember the exact date but it was late 2016 or really early 2017, then it was rootable by initroot.
Any update after that, or one that shipped after about May 2017, does not have an old enough version to root with initroot.
The bootloader is still not, and never will be, unlockable... Even if you purchased the ad removal, or later got your ads removed for free, this will not change.

I have unlocked the bootloader and successfully rooted this phone and am currently running ViperOS.

That's what I heard too. Since a few days the Amazon edition is unlockable via the Motorola website and after that you root it as any Moto G5+.

It seems to be only a short while when it was possible to unlock amz locked devices. I think it was some kind of glitch because the server was down for maintenance after that.

Just got this phone today and didn't realize the model, cannot get unlock code, so they still have them locked down? I'm gonna hate going through a return and wait process again.

If you've got the Amazon edition with ads there's no way to unlock and root the device.
