alright guys here we go
droid turbo bootloader unlock video this
is it
this is it alright so some prerequisites
you're going to have to know you do this
first thing is is you want to get to the
latest build of Android well currently
it's the latest build of Android so you
want to be on right here build number
su4 TL - for four really important
android 5.1 again matching kernel as
well you want to be on this stack built
for you to unlock the bootloader on the
droid turbo okay alright so from here
we're going to go to an ex-dea post here
online and this talks you through and it
talks about how to do it so you're going
to want to read through this entire post
but basically you need two files one of
them is kingroot and you're going to
want to go ahead and download the APK so
i'll go ahead and download it go ahead
okay and so replace because i've
previously downloaded it and then you're
going to want to scroll down right here
and download sunshine app this is by
JK's awesome developer and go ahead and
download that file as well once you have
these two files downloaded you'll be all
set to go ahead and unlock your
bootloader so kingroot actually will
root the device and there you go so
they're both downloaded so we're going
to install kingroot this is what's going
to root your device and that's what it's
going to allow sunshine app to actually
unlock the bootloader kingroot only
temperature device on this android build
but it's okay because we only need a
temporary done anyway so we'll hit done
we're going to install sunshine there we
go
so this is really very simple this would
be be able to unlock the bootloader
without even a computer now you're once
you have your bootloader unlocked you're
going to need to have you know hook up
to your computer to actually send a lot
of commands but it is what it is all
right so we can back out of this so if
we go on our app drawer now we should
have kingroot so we're going to click on
it and then what we're going to do is
we're going to scroll through this and
we're going to go ahead and try to route
the device so the first thing it does it
detects the device that you have so it
should show you the droid turbo here and
then it'll go ahead and run some
exploits to try to get root access on
the turbo so let's just go ahead and let
this thing go there you go there's a
device verifying root so try to root
we'll go ahead and do that normally this
thing gets to about 17 18 percent and
then it goes really fast and it says
it's done if it doesn't root your device
try rebooting and running kingroot again
sometimes it takes a couple tries but it
should be able to get root access on the
device
so you can see right here mine failed us
retry
so we're going to try for take two here
and see if second time had to reboot the
phone even to get it to go to take two
it's giving me a Google Play error but
let's just not touch anything and see
what happens here really annoying
actually trying to see what's going on
here come on give me root access this
time Google Play services is stopped and
okay so let's close that out all right
root access root successful share a
friend so no thanks let's go ahead and
just make sure root actually works and
go to root checker and just make sure
that root access is functional at this
point so we're going to ask for
information I'm going to allow it and
there we go so it did work I did have to
do a reboot it even did a ton of force
closes and all kinds of crazy stuff it
was goofy but anyway you're going to be
good to go so you have root access
you're officially rooted so now we're
going to go to sunshine application
which is right here little Sun and we're
going to accept a disclaimer it's a big
long thing about we're going to break in
a phone blah blah blah except we're
going to say okay to some bootloader
stuff and then we're going to go ahead
and do some testing so we'll go ahead
and continue so just going to test the
device really quick we're going to allow
root access and your device has passed
pretest you're ready to do it so from
here you're going to continue and it's
going to do a little bit more full
compatibility testing so determine
involve a lock and unlock the device
please be patient allow to finish so
it's going to go ahead and test this now
sunshine it does cost twenty-five
dollars so there is a cost involved and
the reason for that is really to cover
development the amount of time and
effort that the developers put into
unlocking and s off on these devices
funds especially when they gotta by test
the phones and things like that and
sometimes a lot of times break them
while they're doing it and had to throw
them away so right here it says buy or
code I've got a code let me go ahead and
put my code in alright I went ahead and
put my code in and there you go so you
can buy it right there I think you can
use PayPal or credit card to actually
purchase it in the app or if you have a
code that you've pre purchase you can
just type the code in and you'll be good
from there so your purchase is being
completed please wait while it generates
a license so what it does is it goes
ahead and completes it then it generates
a license back to the device and then
you're good so here we go we're going to
go ahead and push any key to continue
all right your license generation was
successful sunshine is now unlocking
your device use afterwards the device
will reboot and be unlocked so yes this
is really awesome so now we're just
waiting for the progress bar across the
bottom to go again super excited about
this actually love my turbo I was using
it as my company phone here for a couple
weeks now and it's gonna wipe everything
that's going to be the one downside to
doing this it wipes everything off the
phone when you unlock your bootloader it
does a factory reset it I would be
shocked if it doesn't but it should do a
factory set so we're going to see if it
doesn't that's good even awesomer but
most likely it's going to do a factory
set when you unlock it so there you go
there's the unlikely little warning
that's awesome
that is the sign of success right there
and that is wicked cool so we're gonna
see if it actually does that or not if I
or if I keep all my data I really don't
know but from here now we can flash twrp
recovery we can flash custom roms we can
do custom images I mean it just goes on
and on
kernels and everything else probably get
seijin might on this thing at some point
which is gonna be awesome
this phone is a beast oh that is wicked
awesome okay so we unlock the bootloader
and we have not wiped data on this thing
so everything is still fully functional
on the device with an unlocked
loader okay I got to say I'm loving that
I'm absolutely loving that I was really
worried as gonna wipe the device but
it's not
I do see I'm getting this little Google
Play services error and and the reason
I'm getting that error I think is
because of kingroot because King routes
are really crappy application in my
opinion it does allow you to do route
access like this very easily but it's
kind of junk anyway I'm going to show
you guys how to remove that in my next
video
I'm going to show you how to install
twrp recovery how to get root access
with supersu a whole bunch of cool
things it's all going to be through the
computer but I really wanted to put this
together really quick just to show you
how to unlock the bootloader and how
simple it is no computer needed just run
a couple applications and you're pretty
much there I hope you guys have liked
this video stay tuned for those other
videos I'm going to be doing on this
device like I said TWRP recovery getting
rid of kingroot and all those other
things I hope you like these videos a
big shout out to Jay case thanks buddy
appreciate the code as well and we'll
catch you guys in the next one or you
junkie out
