First off I have never done anything like this, but it seems to gather a lot of interest from the developers and gives people the extra drive to help obtain root.
Make a pledge for the bounty for permanent Root of the Atrix HD. I will do my best to keep a running log on the main post of who has pledged and once root has been obtained I will also acknowledge them in the post and make them off the list. PayPal of the wining developer will be listed once confirmed.

Perhaps a bounty can help persuade Dan Rosenberg to take a look a it. He's been very successful with Motorola devices.

To the Atrix HD community,
I have been in contact with a friend/fellow developer over in the Atrix 2 forums. He may be able to help with the root process for this phone. He isn't making any promises on getting root working, but he will be taking a look at the phone soon (at the latest, next week).
I'll put in $10. First time with a Motorola phone, so figured I should pay it forward.

Put me down for 50...this is the first android I've had that I've had to wait for root, and I gotta say I have discovered allot about my own level of patience...or lack there of. Resulting in many sleepless nights at a terminal window picking and prodding at EVERY file, folder, or script I was allowed access to... I would like to reiterate, the payee will have well deserved it...good luck
Hey.
Im new, from germany..
Will get the phone in two weeks.
Great that you do all this for a root!!!
Will pay 25,- too if its possible!

Wondering who would be interested in going in on buying an XTC chip and passing it around in the US.
Here's what I propose...
ONE of us in the states purchases one, and we subsequently pass it around to those who want to go in on it. I would propose that we pool resources together and purchase one through ebay (there's a NY seller that has one for a little less than $200 US. I'd be comfortable buying it and passing it along to someone else in the states... I would say we get a list of people together, where's they're located, and how much they are willing to put in to a general fund to purchase (or offset the cost of) the XTC chip. Let's see if we can get a nice long list going, and I'll look at buying on Monday or Tuesday (May 2 or 3 2011)... I live in Baltimore, so anyone in neighboring states or nearby could meet up or i could mail it to them and they'd have it in a day or 2... (Im not sure the exact weight, but each person going in would pay for shipping to the next in line to receive it.. Im assuming we could ship it for under $2 to each person, as i doubt it weighs more than a few ounces and would fall under the 13oz rule for USPS first class mail)...
If we can get a list of where everyone is, how much they'd be willing to contribute, we can maybe map out a path for this thing... (I would say, the larger contributors would have first dibs on it, and those who are closest in proximity with where it is...ie, if i order it and get it next friday, and someone offsets in NY with $5, but someone in VA offsets with $25, I would ship it to the person in VA... They in turn would ship it to the NY person, and so on and so forth...
If you are unable to offset... you probably shouldnt have bought a $500 phone No, but in seriousness... if you are unable to contribute, I (personally, but would need general consensus from those who HAVE contributed)... would be more than willing to pass this on to those who HAVENT contributed to the cause (of course, as is only right... i would say you would be last in line to receive it...)
That being said... any input?
Count me in, Albany NY
I should say:
Leave your location and amount you'd be willing to offset costs with... If we can get a good idea of who out there is willing, we can formulate a plan on where this thing will go and when it will get there..
200 bucks? you can better buy it straight of raskal instead lol

Good news everyone! [/Prof. Farnsworth]
The bright and talented cvpcs has offered to be our maintainer for CyanogenMod. All he needs now...is a Bionic!
We *do* have 2nd init working on the Bionic, all we need is to wait for koush to get his Droid 3 and write CWM for that, then we can have it ported over to the Bionic (literally almost exactly the same phone) which should take not more than a week.
SO! We need to get cvpcs a Bionic! We have a paypal setup that he will get the money for the Bionic and anyone and everyone who is willing to donate *any amount* can donate if they please.
Clicky:
Our goal is $630*, to get it straight from Verizon! PM me with how much you donated and I'll put your name on a list in the OP! Thanks to everyone who will donate in advance.
Total so far: $630+ We've reached our goal!

9/11/11 update: CVPCS just wanted me to let you guys know this: This will not be *his* Bionic. It will be the community's. He wants everyone to know that and he also says that if there's ever a time where he cannot be the maintainer anymore, he will gladly hand it over to the next person who wants to maintain it. He's not getting this phone because we're throwing money at him and he wants the phone, he's getting this so he can help the community and for us to be able to run CM7 on our devices.

I think a 2nd init ROM on the Bionic is going to be kind of a waste unless you have the extended battery.
I tried CM4DX and I was lucky to get 10 hours out of a full charge. Installed ApeX RC3 and was getting 16+ hours on a full charge.
My Bionic is currently giving me about 10 hours of usage without switching off 4G, so I'm guessing that would be about 6 hours on a 2nd init ROM.
I hope I'm wrong... good luck guys!
I was getting 16+ on CM4D2 Froyo and GB, with GPS always on and normal usage. Let's try to keep the thread on topic, though.
Donated 20 this morning. Cant wait for these beast to have CM7, finally got it on my DX enjoyed it for a few months then got a Charge and missed CM7 instantly.
donated $10 to a good cause!
can't wait to start tinkering!
I hope 10 bucks help
15 inbound!
Thanks to everyone who's donated so far! Just hit the $300 mark (about)!
Also, see the OP for an update and a message from cvpcs himself!
Well it's been fun, but in the end the Thrill has had too many issues, and not enough support from LG.
I'm going to get a white Samsung Galaxy S3. The specs are incredible, 2GB of ram is the big one for me, not to mention ICS default or Jellybean upgrade! My Thrill slows down too easily after I've put all my apps on it, I usually get down to 50mb of ram remaining or less, I frequently use the task manager, and even then it just isn't cutting it.
I'm going to sell my Thrill on eBay with Thrill Seeker 3.0 & v20p baseband, unless someone here wants to buy it? They seem to average over $200. However the idea is I make as much from it as possible to put towards the credit card payment for the Galaxy S3 (I'll be buying it outright from my work, Best Buy, using their credit card 18 months no interest)
It's in like-new condition btw, I've had a case on it since day one, screen protector as well, there are absolutely no scratches/dings/marks on it.
I know The Dark Lestat is looking for a Thrill...

So yeah, Lestat could use a new Thrill. If you're not willing to donate, are you willing to hold onto it until somebody (like me) can pay for it so we can donate it instead? Honestly, I want to swap Thrills because the bluetooth went out on this one. I really miss using my wireless headset and bluetooth link into my house.
Dark said he isn't really looking for a new one so I suggest getting it into the hands of a different developer

I'm sorry, but eBay or craigslist was what I had in mind. I've posted it for $240 expecting someone to probably talk it down to $200.
Unless someone here wanted to buy it for $200, I'm just using all of it for the payment towards my current SGIII that I've put on the credit card.

Then I wish you the best of luck trying to sell it for that reasonable price on Craigslist or eBay. People are going on there looking for bargain bin prices, not for fair deals. Unless they're looking explicitly for a 3D phone, you're going to be passed up for the plethora of lightly used Samsung SG2s at just a little over your initial asking price that are flooding the markets now (as everyone's clamoring for the GS3 now).
I'm really wanting an sg3 or an htc one x.

Hey y'all!
This past Monday me and a couple of friends were hell bent on getting the $150 coupon code for Moto X (the disappointment of failing to get anywhere on Cyber Monday and 4th added to it) and though the deal lasted a lil' over 7 mins on the 9th, we were able to get a coupon for each
However, these friends are NOW more interested in buyin' the Nexus 5 (change of heart :silly: ) cauz of which me has two coupons nearing expiration..
So me thought me'll prolly sell the two extra coupons ('course at a price lesser than their value) and help me friends save some bucks on their Nexus 5.
Message me if this interests you

'nehow, the coupons are valid till 16th, let's see if me can get someone who's GENUINELY interested and not just tries to get the coupons out of me for free by pushin' some self induced guilt!

Guess you didn't quite get the message then, did you? It isn't allowed if you're trying to sell it (which you are), so delete it.
Oh, and BTW, no one is going to buy them. There are many people still giving them out for free.
I have a Droid Turbo that I have rooted with kingroot. I have seen other threads that have said that you then need to pay for sunshine in order to get "full" root. Is this true? What are the other options and pros and cons? I can not pay for sunshine so what is the next step to a rooted Droid turbo?

I bought my phone for $100. Another $25 is 1/4th. But thanks for the advice
There are several ways to acquire money if you're tight on cash right now. You can use the QuickThoughts app to get $10 Amazon giftcards by doing surverys, and other apps offer Paypal and Google Wallet funds.
Paying $25 seems like a lot, but it's definitely worth every penny of it.
i dont like the fact that if you need to replace your phone for any reason then you need to pay another $25..
I'm absolutely broke and I scraped up $25 for sunshine. It's worth it just for the piece of mind if having reliable twrp
It's a small price to pay for a modifiable device. Most people, myself in included, never thought we'd see an unlocked bootloader on the Turbo. $25 is a steal IMO.

If you read their website you find that the reason for that is so many people were cheating them. Considering the cost of buying devices to test I completely see the need to charge and being people's habit of cheating I see the reason for the "pay per phone no matter what".

I bought it at Verison. It was on sale, $50 off with mailin rebate.
if you can't afford an extra $25 then you shouldn't have a cell phone in the first place. either your priorities are jacked or your a cheap bastard. Either way, you don;t need to be rooting your phone.

If you don't wanna spend $25 which is really bothig at all for how you get out of it, don't root the phone. If you don't have a debit or credit card there are prepaid visa/MasterCard's you can buy, even visa giftcards. Getting money onto a payment source has many ways, and being cheap and stingy isn't the way to go.
If your boss said to you, "hey, I told our customer that he can have this for $100 off asking price and its coming out of your paycheck" you would be furious right?
Why should the devs do this work for us and get nothing from their work when you would demand the same thing?

That wouldn't work - how hard would it be to stick your sim in your friends turbo to use your bootloader unlock? The only way is serial/imei . Which is what they use.
