Motorola just released the source code for the Droid 3 on Sourceforge.
Source code
I was just going to start a thread on this edgan
Pardon my French but...
**** YEAH!
So does source mean we just don't have to find an exploit, and can create compatible, rootable ROMs without cracking the official one? Or does it mean we can get root, too?
It means neither. You'd still need signed keys to flash anything created from the released source code.
However, if there are any exploits, having the source might assist in finding them.
Hell yes!

Every single Android device must have the source code released. It's part of the AOSP license, these companies can't use Android without releasing this code.
Yay!
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App
Yeah I heard that the source code wont help much either.
BUT(not related to this)
I think we have a bigger chance of getting an official sbf now. Reason being is that there is an update that is being pushed to test and dev devices (I think it's 5.6.960 or something), hopefully somewhere between this road a moto employee or tester can give back to the community haha
So a few things of note, and I wanted to articulate this right, those of you in the IRC have heard this rambling.
1) Watchdog. Do NOT, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES try to kill a Kernel process. That's another sure-fire way to trip the eFuse, and brick your phone, save you have a SMD compatible JTAG for the FPGA. (If that last part went over your head, DEFINITELY do not attempt)
2) Kernel file "pause_on_oops". If a kernel module is improperly loaded, modified, or unloaded, it will cause a lot of wonky stuff to happen in the kernel. On any kernel panic, the kernel halts instead of dropping to a debugger. It also sets a few flags that stop the kernel from booting, and that in turn sets more flags that stop booting, ad nauseum.
This still leaves bugs and stuff to explore. Race conditions, buffer overflows and the likes are still likely targets.
@royolpunk
Have to agree on that, i'm not too fussed tbo but i'd like to fix the blue camera tint.

Obviously, having source code once we root will be of enormous help in developing quality kernels and ROMs (like cyanogenmod!), but won't help rooting right now. All the doors are locked, but now we know who lives inside
So speaking of race conditions, is there any point to exploring the bootloader-to-recovery race condition (via messing with the sdcard slot) that allowed the Droid Incredible to be root (even before Unrevoked figured out a general HTC exploit kit), or are we talking apples to oranges?

Good idea, give people even quicker ways to softbrick their phones. Until we have an SBF, any mods are incredibly dangerous to the brick-iness of our phone.

This is why I was asking. Before I tried. I'm not that dumb. I don't want to brick any more than the next person does. I was hoping that someone who is more able/fluent in fixing a soft brick had tried it.

Indeed, the number of people softbricking their phones is out of control... I think I may see the reason that carriers and manufacturers do not want people with superuser privileges on their phones now...

If the recovery weren't signed and verified, we could flash an alternate recovery and not have to worry about any of this bricking non-sense.
In other words, it is very easy to make these devices effectively brick-proof, but we are unable to because of their silly restrictions.

We don't have a SBF, so probably better to hedge your bets... I froze a couple of crapplications, but that was about it until we get the flash...

Hey guys, it looks like the HTC Rezound is close to getting S-Off by Evil. If you didn't know, the Rezound has had a locked bootloader all this time just like us. Can we look to how they got root to help with our own efforts. The method of getting S-Off between these two phones can't be that different, can it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375598
EDIT: Apparently links to his site are prohibited. But just google "s-off think tank" to get to Evil's site.
They look close resembling. Worth a shot and try.

I'm pretty sure the internals are very very alike too. The only difference I've read is the screen size. They both came out around the same time, so I'd think they'd be locked in a very similar fashion.

Apparently he is very very close. The link said days, if not hours away. Would he be the one to tweak it for us or would one of us have to? I'm not even sure if we could post our version on here though, XDA is pretty ant-anything that involves him. Maybe he could post our version on his site.

Look, I don't like the guy and I think his attitude is terrible and he deserved the ban he got. But can we refrain from saying stuff that isn't true? It does nothing for guiding people to an eventual unlocked rezound (or vivid in this case). Open is supposed to be was android is about... not squelching possible advancements based off a personal problem.

As I appreciate your enthusiasm for moderating me. The statement was made intentionally. As I have had this thread topic in multiple forums and the dev in question prompts flaming from discussion as to why we can't link his site. Most people on here either love or hate the guy, I am cool with him. My statement is made because that's the reasoning behind not linking his site. I can post it when I did or we could wait until it was asked, I chose the pre emptive approach to avoid someone literally saying something negative about the dev and xda. If you have an issue with my statement please address a senior mod or admin.
I'm not a douche bag here, I treat you all with respect and do what I can to help. Thanks.

Considering their history I wouldn't get my hopes up too high.
Let's be happy if they finally manage to give us an update that adresses the known issues (battery/camera/keyboard). I'm only gonna believe it when I see it and am actually able to use it.

Just for understanding:
How will you be able to do that?
I thought someone tried this already on a different thread, the only ccaveat is that the radio code won't get reverted...
1) boot into CWR
2) Wipe/format system and data partition
3) perform full restore
If all that fails, in the worst case I'll just reflash bacck to the vivo (or maybe retail) SBF.
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
I'd argue that the update would merely be to 2.3.x where x > 4. Maybe the Brazil sbf already has the fixes and only thing they're testing is the bell carrier customizations.

I think you're right, but I'd rather be on the Bell one, I really like the background (it is embedded with the framework.apk and I can't really line it up the same way) as long as it works as good as the Brazil firmware... don't forget there is also some localization things as well that "would be nice" every so often I run into some portugeese on my device now.

I think he was arguing for the update being 2.3.x as opposed to 4.0 like another poster suggested. Highly unlikely IMO, but I would, of course, love to be proven wrong.

I know, I totally agree with him. I'd be suprised if it even went up to 2.3.5, I would guess they are concentrating more on the Blur stuff.
They are limiting the Beta to 100 testers, in reality, only one of us needs to get on that list and share the .sbf with the whole community =D

I don't think they are going to be sending out the SBF, probably just an EXE file, but we can all hope! I think we are all waiting for a reply back from them, but yes I agree with you fully!
Realistically, how many people do you think sign up for Motorola's betas? And who would you think sign up for them?
Given that the original topic on the Motorola forums has so few views, the chances of one or more XDA users getting into the beta is fairly high I reckon.

This is exactly how the first Verizon update was leaked, via a beta tester for their new firmware. When this beta get's leaked we'll all be able to flash back to bell, sbf or exe it, format wont matter. (It's only up to 120 views now)

Probably the bell, just given the older build.
See, this is what I don't understand. They branch their regional builds of their f/w... and then when they need to update the phones... that's many separate codebases that need to be updated. X.x

It will root your phone, but will collect and send a lot of data to China in order to do so.
Kingo claim that they no longer collect your IMEI, but say nothing about device ID/serial numbers etc that they have been caught sending unencrypted to their server before.
I do not trust them at all and the fact that their app is currently not allowed on XDA says a lot.
Edit - Also, the guy saying he is too lazy to find out what is wrong with the Kingo app is just the sort of person that creators of malware rely upon to both use and propagate their apps. Laziness is no excuse to use and recommend use of questionable software, ever.

Dude, you sound butthurt really, I did not recommend it in the very first place, I just said that it does the job, and in my case, flawlessly, I don't know about you, but for your kind information,, I have been using doomlord method since the good old x10 days, but recently it doesn't work, so, I have no choice but to resort to kingo, what other choice do I have left? Well maybe there is, but kingo happen to stumble upon me. I never did said that he should be doing the same, but since he was asking, and I happen to have gone through it, I just said it, I even said that they were kind of suspicious, but just wanna let you know, the way you reply doesn't help that much either.
Thanks, and have a nice day
I really don't care what you did to your phone, but suspicious software that is banned from this site is not 'flawless'.
I posted merely to make sure that anyone with any sense that viewed this thread knew of its suspicious nature and stayed away from it.
Finally, just because you are unable to follow the simple instructions for DooMLoRD's method for rooting 67, doesn't mean it doesn't work. It works just fine for me and thousands of others.
