Just saw this and it looks like a work around to paying $20 but was curious if its legit?
http://www.how-to-root.club/mp3-0/motorola-droid-turbo-6727.html
I wouldn't touch it man. It's even more sketchy that there is a 5.0 rom underneath it when our device doesn't have one. I think this may be labeled turbo but intended for the international version. I'm no dev, but I would not touch this until someone tears apart the apk and gives the green light that it's not bs.
Yea, thats what I was afraid of. Thanks for responding.
we've talked about this before, its a scam site.
look i put nokia 1100 on the site
http://www.how-to-root.club/mp3-0/nokia-1100-6727.html
This thread shouldn't be here. It belongs to Q&A.
This is why developers stop or do not work on making LOCKED PHONES UNLOCKED OR ROOTED. PAY THE $20.00 that is cheap for what you are getting also the work and hours one puts into this. WOW this makes me so mad. This is why I walked away from XDA years ago when I made ROMs for eris,razer and other phones. There is users out there that still try to rip off the only ones willing to help you unlock or root your phone. WOW "I saved $20.0 " man oh man.

Did you even bother looking at the website? He was curious about the legitimacy of the website, not whether it was worth $20 to root your device.
You know what makes me mad? When people jump to conclusions. This is why I rarely us XDA nowadays... so much emotion for a such a small thing.

I love the confidence.

An "efuse" hardware chip? Wow Motorola!
I like the screen of the droid x, I like the size, but there is no way I could in good conscience buy this phone. Motorola has just slapped the dev community in the face.
Even Iphone doesn't have this BS , i guess Motorola one upped apple by kicking customers twice in the balls.
couldn't they run into some legal issues with this efuse method?
what about women?

The Droid X is already rooted though. The bootloader is what everyone is concerned about.

Apparently the original Droid has the same "eFuse". I think we need to reserve judgement until we find out if Moto is utilizing it or not. Just because it's there doesn't mean it's in use.
I was about to say the same thing, this chip is nothing new and doesn't stop you from rooting, get real, they even advertised the ability to root this phone in their ads

I don't know if I've seen an ad talking about root, but...
I talked to a device tester today and apparently there is something VERY different about the Droid X bootloader. They had VERY specific instructions from Moto that if the bootloader (MBM) didn't match exactly what they required to send the phone back to have the MBM updated. If it wasn't it would corrupt the phone.
Not sure if this is the same as the "eFuse", but should be interesting to see what happens the first time someone tries to mess with the bootloader.
Sorry for any misunderstanding. I dont have anything that works.

I came from a blackberry too, and loved it.. but now I would never go back! my phone can do anything I want it to and more.
Anyways have fun messing around with your new android devices... it gets addicting
Good decision moving to Android. I would really think twice about the Fascinate though. That whole Bing thing pisses me off.

Are you serious? Why would you come to a Windows Phone 7 forum to request Android be ported to this device? What sense does that make when there are variants of 4.3" phones from HTC running android with pretty much the same specs. This is baffling. I hardly write much in these forums but this is just sick.
I'll tell you why. Because T-Mobile use had no other 4.3 phone in there choices. The only reason i got the HD7 was because someone stole my nicely rooted HD2 RUNNING ANDROID. Had the HD7 for almost 2 weeks and guess what its heading back to Tmobile along with a cancellation.
would be nice to have android and wp7 on this device i'm willing to throw some money in the pot anyone else?
First of all, there is no need for any hostility in my thread, I'm not a moderator or anything but i will not tolorate fanboys here. I've been a die hard fan of windows mobile ever since Tmobiles Dash came out.
All i'm saying is that i seen a couple of kids at work playing with droids and it looked cool. This is my baby, I love everything about it. I just want to do my thing
You rock man, Thanks
on the same boat, I'd like android on the HD7 also....... why? just cause i want it

Thanks for supporting and visioning android development for the HD7 with me! Again... It was me who was willing to donate for the cause, In no way am i trying to collect funds for any development. It is MY choice to offer a donation and if you are choosing to go about the same way, then more power to us!
Have we gotten the attention of any developers yet?
maybe a post in the HD2 forums will help kick start development.
dont forget to stress the cash incentive.
i'm sure many will donate for the cause.

Theres a big sticky thread out there saying "Android on HD7, ask your questions here"
Why don't you just trade your phone for an HD2? That phone is exactly the same and you can flash anything on it.
Thread closed for 2 reasons:
1st. It is in Dev section
2nd. Take the time to read "General" forum for Android informations.
This thread will be updated once Note4 is available. This thread will contain all guides and mods pertaining to Note4. Plus,it will have Stock ROMs and will have the root guide.
Looking forward to buying the Note 4 and use this thread as well

very sad to see so many people talking s**t about the note 4.
It might not be a huge difference from note 3 but is definitely a big upgrade from my note 2.
I think everyone expect to have extreme changes in the devices every year and that is not possible anymore.
I think now the upgrade should be every 2 years.

Someone told me that if you get the TMO version it won't have a locked bootloader, and can be usedon ATT. I'm not sure if this is true, but considering going that route.

Verizon :/ I really am getting tired of it from them tbh. I buy the phone, why should they lock the bootloader. (Yes, I know there are reasons, but still) they are not leasing the phone to me, You buy the device and use it on their network.I am paying for a service. That's just how I look at it.

I sure understand that thought. But I also understand the carriers not wanting to warranty phones that we hose trying to mess with them.
It's probably too much effort to position themselves to offer an unlock code for the bootloader, which would cost 'loss of warranty'. If they don't have to warranty them, then why should they care?

probably because so many people lie when they call for warranty service, saying they dont know why their phone suddenly "stopped" working..
Now, what could be done, is to sell an unlocked phone/boot loader, NO WARRANTY AT ALL, and see how many folks buy that model...
Not many I bet..

The vulnerability of towelroot was patched on all kernels deployed after 6th June.

I am of the general opinion that Mondays hate everyone and should be incorporated into the weekend. Better yet, we should work 2 days a week and have 5 off. Lol.
