It depends on the version of Android, and whether there are any known exploits.

Welcome to our AndroidForums!

How about we try the Moto Droid Turbo 2 root area for you? .

(thread moved)

The folks in here should be able to advise you best on the latest / best rooting method.

Cheers!

Apparently the international version of the MDT2 has been rooted. I'm waiting for the Verizon/US version to get root.

I feel your pain, jayman. Hell, I'd like to just restore my apps that my previous phone backed up via Titanium Backup. I had to manually reinstall apps and of course lost my settings. Not to mention ads are annoying the hell out of my that Adfree in the past blocked nicely.

Hello there!
The blogsite you linked for rooting had some iffy links to unknown apps, redirected thru tracking ads, hence my removal of it.
If you can find another guide to a more reputable site such as this forum, or XDA, that would make me and others more comfortable with clicking on them.
In answer to your question, I would avoid the site/guide you found
Any questions, just tick my avatar to chat with me.

At this point, I think we want Marshmallow (Android ver. 6.0) before root. Hopefully we'll get Marshmallow this month and root shortly thereafter.

Im not certain but I think that is an option just "baked" into lollipop and has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader which I'm sure you have to do before your able to "root" correct me if I'm wrong though I hope I am, I really want this thing rooted and unlocked. It's an amazing phone I highly recommend it besides the fact that Verizon has it locked up...hopefully someone somewhere

I think the people over at XDA forums can help with this, we might have to gather a bounty up and find someone really good at unlocking Motorola phones. I'd be willing to pay $25 bucks for this type of service I'm sure others would too

Sometimes bootloader needs unlocked for root but not always in most cases with phones I have unlocked u need to acquire root before u can unlock the bootloaders least that's always the case on htc and most moto phones u root then get Safestrap recovery I have not attempted root case if I mess up I ain't got the cash to fix my phone
