Database Develop

reviewers

so I was curious if any of the reviewers are randy enough to shoot one of their Atrixes (atrii, atrixs, atrices?) to a credible dev here on xda and let them start working on root, and finding out exactly how (if at all) locked the bootloader is.

Maybe one of the devs will pick one up and we could donate to help cover the costs.

I am happy to donate to a respected dev who is willing to spend his spare time cracking open this phone, I just pre-ordered mine, and I am totally willing to donate. I don't know if there is a particular dev who is looking to work with this phone, or any of that. I also don't have a ton of money, but I can spare $10 or $20 to help out the great devs in this community.

I just preordered mine! I am hoping someone will get root soon. Maybe Moto will be kind and offer some solution to the bootloader.

Haven't seen any confirmation of this.
I will also donate to any dev that can figure this out!

I said this in the other thread but i can donate 50-100 bucks to any dev(s) that can give us full root on the atrix...really want to remove bell bloatware when it comes out in canada..

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.

S-Off and Unbricking Project

Zarboz said:
Hello dear XDA-Community,
The idea of this thread was to serve as an un bricking thread eventually,
I am looking into a riffbox for jtag service, I am approaching xda to see if any users would be interested in helping me cover the cost of said riffbox
if you were to donate towards the cause in return you would receive free unbrick service and jtag service for all your devices as long as the riffbox supports the CPU architecture
If this is of no interested not a big deal i just thought i would give the community a chance to get involved rather than keeping all the cool toys at my house and not sharing
This thread will be the hub for service requests. If you happen to need unbrick service, you will find this thread and us to help you.
I will post a log of all payments made from that money plus all Items received (e.g. the RIFF Box, the cables, Jigs, etc.)
I will also keep an online "work and ticket tracker" so that you can see live reports /pictures of the status of your repairs
now your like ok i didnt donate to help you buy this thingamabobber now i bricked my phone and i dont wanna pay some dude on ebay 60$ to fix it
cool find me post in the thread if your device is supported we can get it unbricked
Please remember i am one man and do have a child so im not planning to support 43000000x users but i dont think it would be bad to offer service to RC's RD's and senior members of xda for no cost of labor just get the unit here and ill jtag it up
RIFF Box - US $155.00 + Shipping
JIG Connector - negligible i have a variable temp soldering station so i could solder to the board direct at low heat
Updates / Facts / News:
Some things you might see around the thread
Hope this is gonna be very very educational for people too. Unbricking always is some sort of a mystery for many and if you send off your phone to some stranger on ebay, you usually don't get an idea about the "Hands On" and gettin' dirty bit of tearing down a phone and actually make it look nice and work properly again afterwards.
So, maybe we will even have some photos or videos and stuff and just give you an idea of how that all works...
Please ask your questions
and if your located in the USA and close to me for XDA active members I will always do what I can to help out as XDA has always helped me out
I am not trying to sell jtag service at all guys im saying if we can get me a riffbox ill give xda senior members RD's RC's RT's mods and members with over a 300 post count free jtag service

I think this is great and all but I have one question.
How would a single riff box provide all of us with s-off? JTAG is a great skill to have but if there is only one riff box its not going to benefit the rest of the community for s-off. We need a s-off solution that wont require all of us to buy special hardware to achieve it.

I did read your op. And the title says s-off and unbricking project.
so if this for just unbricking or both?
My point is its a little misleading. JTAG is awesome for unbricking but if this is going to be an s-off project also the average user should understand the risks of JTAG for s-off. Like it requires the phone to be taken completely apart and then flashed. And hopefully put back together correctly.
I changed the digitizer on my og evo and swore i'd never try it again. I'm not knocking what your trying to accomplish I just think the rest of the community should be aware of what jtag entails.

......
so if you read the OP you would understand that i am offering free jtagging service to those who donate / users who have a 300+ post count for use once unit is received
if you dont understand what the service is capable of don't knock it
I also don't expect every john and jane doe to send me their phone just to get s-off thats ridiculous and also CLEARLY stated in the op....
it sounds like you read the title skimmed the paragraph and are now asking why i think this is a good idea?
1) To service high end users who want the freedom of their device and don't care about warranty as it is invasive
2) to offer a free alternative for xda users who are paying sites like mobiletechvideos 40-50$ for s-off service
3) to give something back
4) to offer brick repair to a site that has always been there to help me esp to those n00b users who just flash whatever and brick their unit
I also was a cell phone repair tech for 2x years and have quite extensive knowledge in this field
just wanted to share is all

BOOM!!!!

lets get a tab s for beanstown

I have been in contact with beans. If we could get enough donations for a tab s for beans, he will work on root, and make alliance ROM. Who's in? I donate $25.
Mod edit:***Warning***
Xda has no responsibility about what happens to your money. The donations are volunteer and it is up to you to decide who you can trust. Donate at your own risk.

i'm in for that - i'll follow the forum and look for other takers. I love beanstown roms (note 3 here)

Let's make some things clear.
We generally allow bounty threads under some conditions. The most basic one is that none developer can go ahead and make a new thread asking for donations/devices (for example, saying "Donate to me to make -put_sth_here-"), the source of the demand must be the community and not individuals. Sometimes that's hard to judge but as the time goes it gets easier. The receiver must be a member with valuable contributions to the site, must be aware and must make his intentions clear in the thread.

Sir, I believe you started a little bit wrong here. One more thing like this and the thread will be closed.
Tagging @BeansTown106.
Thanks.

Tab s 10.5 has root, tab 8.4 I just need recovery.img

@suzook please post screens hot on root checker app
Also any concerns with me not staying as an active developer should be taken with a grain of salt my nexus finally died so I do actually need a tablet. And the tab s or tab pro are what I'm thinking about. I will obviously throw in a few hundred myself but financially I can't afford 500. Suzook confronted me about making this thread and I said sure if he didn't confront me I probably would have just kept my tab pro I got on sale for 250 @ best buy.

Selling section?

Hi guys,
I've decided I'm going to be selling my Mix as I'm just not using it.
Is there a selling section on the forum?
I can on find something called "swappa" but that looks USA based and I'm in the UK.
Many thanks.

Just out of interest where abouts are you based in the UK and what version are you selling and at what price?
Thanks

Ebay or whatever version of Craigslist you Brits use would be my suggestion. XDA used to have buy/sell/trade forums, but they turned that into Swappa.com (which I believe does actually support international sales). If you want to sell locally-ish, craigslist is the way to go.

Ok, thanks for the replies guys.
@csw43 - I'm Northamptonshire/Bedfordshire based. I flashed it with the Global Rom a month or so back (Global 8.2.5.0 it says in settings). I'm not sure if I'd be breaking forum rules by asking for a price in here, but please feel free to PM me if you are looking for one.
Thanks again for the replies.
