How can I root my Droid Turbo 2? - Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.
I looked for ways to root it but the internet is filled with old or patched ways.
If anyone can help I'll greatly appreciate it (like a lot)

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

So there's no way to unlock the bootloader? I'll do even the most complicated methods to unlock it. Or could Motorola help me unlock it?

Rooting with locked bootloader..

Guys just got my n4 few mins ago.. I don't actually want to unlock the bootloader yet, just root the stock that's it..
Actually my younger bro is gonna use it for sometime and he doesn't do all this, i just wanna root his phone so that he could use titanium later on for backing up and move to a different phone while i take over the n4.. Would unlock the bootloader then so i get a fully wiped phone..
Dev section is too big to search for this.. Can anyone just link me to the thread/tutorial for rooting the stock without unlocking bootloader ??
Thanks

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. If you just got the phone a few minutes ago, what's the harm in unlocking the bootloader? If you unlock it now, it will save you the hassle of wiping all the data from the phone in the future.
Also, just because you have an unlocked bootloader doesn't mean that you have to change ROMs or anything. You can always lock it later if you need to, but having an unlocked bootloader gives you a lot more freedom when it comes to rooting.

Thanks for the reply.. As i informed my bro is gonna use it for initial months and he doesn't want to unlock.. He thinks it's some kinda sin
And yea i know all about unlocking and flashing roms, but on my current device, there is a toolkit for rooting with locked bootloaders.. So thought of asking..
Let's see if some one else turns up with a solution-..

Hi I see you want to root to use titanium backup. If you don't want to unlock/root you could use this backup service called carbon. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en
There is no way to root without unlocking the bootloader atm.
Just unlock with wuggs toolkit, then its as simple as an app from play store to lock/unlock. Geez, the urban legends of the horrors and sins of rooting, don't believe everything on the Internet.

One Click Root?

Hey Im getting the Moto X Pure Editon and I was wondering if there are any viable one click root methods, or a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. I have read that one certain (very questionable) method that XDA is against (and rightly so) can be used, but I have no plans on going that route. Im certainly not new to unlocking a bootloader and am not against it. Ive had the original Moto X Developer Edition, and currently have the Nexus 6, but the whole void the warranty deal I would like to avoid if at all possible. If I could get root and use titanium backup and ad free I could be fine with that. That being said is there a way to root without unlocking the bootloader. And is there something like on the old Droid Razr where you could install a recovery while the bootloader is still locked. Yes I know google is my friend and I have looked but haven't seen anything. So my assumption is I will probably have to unlock the bootloader. But I did want to ask before I jumped and unlocked it, because if anyone would know I know I could find out on here.

No, no one has developed a method to root without unlocking the bootlader and i doubt there will be one anytime soon(if ever since it's so easy and is an unlocked phone)
Ok thank you.

With the hassles Motorola gives people trying to get warranty support after unlocking the bootloader, it would actually be quite beneficial.
Unlocking bootloader does not void warranty completely!!! Software issues caused by the user are indeed not under warrenty anymore. Hardware related issues are.. I had 2 times screen blemishes and both times my screen got replaced for free. Great service from motorola.

Ok I have done that with other phones but I had read mixed results concerning the Moto X Pure. So if it is hardware related Motorola will honor the warrenty, software your SOL. But software we can always reflash the stock system and all.

If you unlock boot loader ur self. Theres a oneclick root app calles kingroot they quote they can root amy phone its one of those china made apps and closed source, id only use ir if your that desperate. Also they install there own version of supersu.. but theres a way to remove it just.google it..
Kingroot doesn't work. At least it didn't on mine. Only way I've found is either systemless or toolkit if you're on lollipop

I'd stick with the tested and tried methods. One click options have the potential for opening the doorway to unwanted content.....
Chainfire's supersu has been around for a long time.
Unlocking the bootloader is a must if you want to root on this phone... ATM anyway and I doubt it will change. I used to think one click root was the way to go too but once again, there are potentially many things that can go wrong so knowing the tried and true manual ways is always best. Knowing how to recover from botched attempts has allowed me to bring my phone back from soft bricks several times.

Rooting Failure Droid Turbo 2

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.

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

No sadly i have never heard something like it
That is a no go. To root you need to unlock the bootloader which requires giving Motorola your phone's information. Just getting the code, regardless if you use it or not will be enough to void warranty.

Droid Maxx 2 Root

I've wanted to know if rooting the Droid Maxx 2 has become possible yet. I currently own a Droid Maxx 2, which is a Verizon one. It did come with the OEM unlock option, but even with it enabled, the bootloader isn't unlocked. I tried the Motorola Bootloader Unlock service, but it does not support this phone. I have tried several rooting apps, and just about none had worked. Is there any other way to do this? Thanks!
This forum is so dead, ugh. If you're on MM, then that would be a definite no as of right now, LP and lower have a better chance of being rooted, but none exist at the moment. This new quadrooter app has exposed some vulnerabilities that could lead to root escalation in most, if not all, vulnerable devices, but we would need to wait on someone to develop a tool/method for exploiting those vulnerabilities. That is the basket I'm putting all my eggs in at the moment, because this phone is far too unpopular for somebody to come along and put effort into a standalone rooting method.
Cross your fingers on the quadrooter exploits, it's likely our only hope for root.

What's the OEM unlock option? Can I use it to remove the bloatware?
