I like my droid mini so much I went out and got another.
To my good fortune, I discovered this "new" one has SU4.21 !!!
That means the efuse has not been blown and I could bootloader unlock.
The question is, was there ever a free method or is sunshine the only way?
Dreaming of cyanogenmod and twrp on the mini, would be perfect.
aha, motopocalypse by the original researcher Dan Rosenberg

Droid Mini/Maxx is not listed but there is always a tiny chance it will work.
Well NOW there's a free bootloader unlock

Now to wait for someone who knows what they are doing to see if it will work on the mini/maxx/ultra

No, there isn't. Just like the other 10 motorola device forums you posted this in, this vulnerability is for MSM8974 ONLY, and its not new.

very sorry for the posts, I was excited and genuinely thought this was a new cross-motorola exploit and didn't realize the specifics
8960 is different enough from the 8974 to be immune?
again my apologies
ps. the Droid Razr series was also 8960, how come motopocalype doesn't work on the mini/maxx ?

If your phone is eligible, Sunshine is a cheap way to unlock your Bootloader. $25.00 last time I checked

No worries. I haven't looked into Razr much, but typically these vulnerabilities are quickly patched by Motorola. I would guess that device released after motopocalypse was released or was patched shortly after.

very exciting update
I've been told (very reliably) that a new exploit is on the way and will work on the 8960 pro (ie. mini/maxx/ultra)
unclear if it still requires the SU4 rom from June 2014 vs will work on the newer SU6 patched rom (even sunshine will not work on SU6) but it was verified by directly examining aboot and that the trustzone is only slightly different on the 8960pro vs 8974
(this time I won't post it in a dozen places - I suspect the release will pretty much spread like wildfire on its own)

If I had to guess I'd suspect he is doing the proper notifications first to Motorola before releasing it. In which case as long as we don't accept OTA updates we should be okay.

Will for one your not well informed Motorola is not sending down any more OTA updates for us they told us they were not they left us dead in the water and stuck on 4.4.4. Also you don't have to contact Motorola about bootloader unlocks don't know who told you that and who would take the time all its doing is allowing us to install user made/custom roms and android is open source so its legal.

1. there are plenty of minor updates from SU4 to SU6 that were OTA and it stayed 4.4.4, they are just patches and there could easily be one that makes it SU6-7.4 - are you misunderstanding me that I am saying they are doing something more? What I meant was, if there is a a SU6-7.4 do NOT install it - though we can still always roll back to SU6-7(.0) via RSDlite - the nightmare would be a SU7 that prevents rollback to SU6
2. I assure you there is another bl unlock coming, this is completely confirmed.
I just don't know exactly when he is releasing it and I don't want to pester him - he's already proven he knows darn well what he is doing and is fully capable of producing the unlock and has already done so for other models - the catch is the unlock is not going to be phone specific so someone is going to have to package it for us
You've got me curious now. I haven't seen anyone else release a bootloader unlock in years.

Oh you know who it is, he just did the other one.
He assures me this one will work on far more devices and even inspected the aboot on the droid mini for me - exact quote:
the TrustZone code there is slightly different, but it has a variation on the vulnerability I'm releasing and so it should work more-or-less out of the box

He didn't release a bootloader unlock for "the other one" either. In fact, the POC he did release required an unlocked bootloader, and custom kernel.

I'm not sure what you mean. Motorola sent him a bootloader locked X and he unlocked it. He even shows every step and released the source.

He (re)documented the vulnerability and documented a full exploitation technique(and did a great job). However the code he released can not be used to unlock a production device. The code requires an unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel. If you read the comments on his disclosure page, you will see that.

I'm not implying he's lying it all. The vulnerability he documented is certainly legitimate. I'm just stating you might not get some "clickheretounlock.exe". Somebody might have to do some work to code/package/turn the vulnerability into working unlock solution. Or maybe he will do it.

oh I get that distinct feeling that he does not intend to release an actual executable, for reasons unclear, either legal or less responsibility
but I suspect he is going to lay out the steps pretty clearly and likely some source code and there is enough talent and desire around here to make it happen shortly after that

Too bad I already updated to Nougat (no downgrading) I would have bought this phone for sure.
Thanks for sharing.
Maybe we could set up a pool if there's an expert willing to take a crack at it and interested in buying it. This might be the only shot at getting such a device. Still unsure if it would be helpful for people with retail versions of the Verizon moto z.

What's the diff between that developer edition and global bootloader unlocked edition? Can you downgrade the bl on the developer devices?
Sent from my Motorola Moto Z Droid using XDA Labs
I'm really not sure what value this has in terms of root and (unofficially) unlocking bootloaders. I feel like it's just the device that's released to select developers prior to the official, public release. Even if there's something substantially different about it - in terms of software - that would give insight into unlocking, it's not much use unless it's in the hands of an experienced dev.
Interested in learning more nonetheless, though.
yes, the next step would be to find an experienced dev that might could offer some guidance

I suppose it's possible it could be a situation similar to the one @elliwigy describes here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70407652&postcount=438
Short version: debug firmware from special pre-release phone + Dirty Cow exploit + experienced dev = unlocked bootloader and root for phone with virtually unlockable bootloader
I believe @elliwigy used to be a dev for Moto devices before moving to LG. They might be able to provide some guidance in determining the value of this "engineering" edition phone and its firmware. With the exception of tagging them in this post (twice ), I don't want to bug them too much since they likely can't do much without the phone itself.

I wouldn't count on it, if for no other reason than we don't have any seasoned devs interested in the Moto Z (as far as I can tell, anyway). So even if there was a dev interested in helping us out (without the actual phone), they likely would never even see this thread. Maybe @erfanoabdi can weigh in, but I think they've given up on rooting the VZW variant (and I don't think they were ever working on a bootloader unlock).
Interesting that it's a Verizon (XT1650-01) prototype, though. I still haven't updated my VZW variant to Nougat in hopes of root, but I think at this point it's a lost cause (which I assumed to be the case when I opted for the VZW variant in the first place). I suppose it's always possible this phone could be used in conjunction with DirtyCow to come up with something, but that would only work for folks still on Marshmallow.
My Moto Z is dead since 3 weeks now. It won't boot/charge. Even the PC doesn't recognize it. Pleas help me unbrick it if you find a way.
Its been about year now, and 5 month in some countries, that nokia 6 launched, but no one has developed any single rom for nokia 6, even naugat roms, yeah we are using upto date naugat but custom roms are faster and with more features, with more abilities, official oreo also lauched on 4th October with pixel 2, but no one has developed or developing oreo....yeah its coming to nokia 6 by this month but if any dev would be developing any oreo rom for nokia six then we must be enjoying it, with faster performance, the custom roms are too fast then a stocked rom.....
So its my kind request please develope custom rom for this phone too..
Thanks
I agree it has been really disappointing that there has been no custom roms however the reason simply lies with two things; firstly the phone wasn't a major seller meaning it's community isn't anywhere near as large as other phones, secondly the phone didn't have any good rooting tools meaning that it was as near as impossible to make a rom that works. Even worse news is that a 2018 variant is rumoured to be in the work with different internals meaning if someone can't find a way of forcing user roms on it, the devices days are numbered, I mean look how tardy Nokia has been with updates already on its release year!
But still, even the last 4 nokia android phone namely nokia x,x+,xl and x2 dual sim, all were having good custom roms, even lumia 520 was also booted to android, then why this phone can't, if devs can boot a windows phone to android then they can develop anything, the thing is they need to work on it
simply because the bootloader isn't unlocked yet by Nokia .
Nokia said that they will provide bootloader unlock with the Oreo update.
There are many reasons for the almost nonexistent development right now. One being that there isn't any unlock tool. Secondly Nokia is yet to release sources too. Both these factors play a major role in custom ROM development.
Let's hope that they unlock and release sources, otherwise we're at a dead end

I assume that these mobiles can have their bootloader unlocked as well as the OS rooted?
I remember from my earlier lesson that Honor and One Plus 5T are definitely compatible with my plan to experiment.
Since these are new arrivals in the market, I might not find a 2nd hand SmPh from these said models.
So based on your vast experience, please feel free to advise me to go ahead and buy a SmPh in which I could exercise either of the two options: unlock the bootloader and root/unroot the OS.

Just a little clearification. All devices come locked when you open the box. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting it are allowed on those devices and on the One plus devices it doesnt void your warranty. Unlocking and rooting are really easy. a couple of PC commands, and one zip flash and boom you are unlocked and rooted.
Thank you, Sir.
But can those smartphones, that can easily be unrooted and their bootloaders, unlocked, be again re-rooted and bootloaders, locked, after necessary amendments, respectively?
After I have bought one of these devices I shall proceed to seek advice on how to do these.
In the meanwhile, and needless to say, I shall also search the forum posts using Google, for further info.
Thank you, Sir, for replying to the post.

Yes removing root is as simple as flashing a stock rom and then relocking the bootloader with one PC command.
If you have Firefox on PC you can use the XDA search plug in. It is far better then the built in search.

Not all devices can have an unlocked bootloader. The vast majority cant. I have never even heard of that device so I cant say for sure. But is you cant unlock the bootloader with the switch in developer settings and the PC command then you may have a device that you cant unlock the bootloader on.

In Linux you don't really remove root access. It is still there in the system. Not so on Android due to it being turned off in the kernel and having no built in UI.

If Oppo doesn't Provide the Unlocking Code or Support Fastboot Binaries, then it would only depend on some Tricks or Any Loopholes that would do the same.
Lets take the Eg. Of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 , it has got bootloader unlocked and within a month Custom Roms have started to come up.
Now lets take the Other Eg. Motorola Droid Turbo (Int. Version of Moto Turbo which i was using in 2015) it doesnt have Unlockable bootloader , but within 1 year developers have successfully Unlocked the Phone!
And another, Droid Turbo 2 (Int. Version Of Moto X Force which im using now) it also had unlockable bootloader , and its going to be 2years but till now People are unsuccessful for getting Root/Unlocking due to the fix in Loophole.
So if Oppo is Not Providing the Unlocking Code or It doesn't Support Unlocking (as far as i know now) its not to be correct to assume it would get rooted/unlocked but can only hope for good.
Realme 1 has mediatek P60 AI chipset. Also Android 8 doesn't support AI feature but Android 9 (Android P) does. ColorOs 5 is supported and powered of AI feature like Battery, Camera, etc. Maybe Company push stock Android. But isn't bad ColorOS.

I think its never gonna happen! Its like Same, Mi rolling out Stock Android 8.0 insted of MIUI 10 or Honor rolling Stock Android 8.1 insted of EMUI!
I didnt used colorOS or any oppo phone before but MIUI,EMUI,UX5.0,Touchwizz... and i didnt keep up with them especially with MIUI and EMUI!
I keep Moto as my primary device (since 2013) due to stock android and simple interface.
ColorOS wouldn't be the deal breaker for the most but for some (like me) its making me think twice before buying

The phone is running on 8.1 Oreo, that means it has project treble support, so there will be no issues in unlocking the bootloader and developing a rom for the Realme 1. Just have a little patience.

Project treble means to have separate Vendor partition , so that GSI can be boot without compiling a seperate rom with a specific vendor tree. But it dosent mean treble=unlocking

Yeah, but it's a little less difficult for the developers to unlock the phone. I think you know that starting with Android 8.x (Oreo), Google separated the Vendor and Manufacturer. That means the OS can be updated without having to touch the vendor implementation. Before project treble, The Vendors have to wait for the Unlock Code from the manufacturer which was very lengthy and delaying process, at least project treble solves this issue.

Only Manufacturers signed images can be flashed with locked bootloader , so if you are planning to boot a LOS GSI you will need a Unlocked bootloader , and by no way you can sign a image as same as manufacturer so jt will fail, as far as unlocking is concerned its in the hand of oppo only bcoz i heard that oppo deleted the fastboot binaries of the phone and to unlock the bootloader ,there must be a loophole or some think which can be exploited otherwise it would suffer the same fate as droid turbo 2. In future what happens i/we dont know but till now its correct to assume that phone is unlockable bcoz oppo is not supporting bootloader unlocking
Here, look at this,
There's an option to allow permissions for unlocking Bootloader, so i think in future maybe Oppo will allow modifications.

This option will be there on all devices even on Droid Turbo 2 , and LG phones which i have used and are not unlockable.
Even CM12.1,13 has that for no reason.
You can turn it on off on off...

Well if that's the case then ab sab Oppo ke hath mein hai, but even if the bootloader doesn't gets unlocked, we still are getting confirmed Android P update. At least that's a relief. ?

Soon, the Realme officials only tweeted that Realme 1 will be getting Android P updated, as per track records of budget midrange devices, we can expect the update in 6-7 months from now.
Stock firmware
