I'm taking this idea from timmytim over in the tf300t forums (we need a bootloader adjustment, he made the bounty and xplodwild fulfilled it).to be working for the tf300t, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942369) so I thought we may as well try it here.
I personally pledge $20 to whomever is able to port/create an ICS or JB rom for the Revolution. Devs, please help us. There are many of us left here with this fantastic, but under-supported device. If you can help us, we'd be happy to return the favor.
If you too are cursed with not having enough $ to upgrade etc (or don't want to buy new hardware to replace fully functioning equipment), please pledge to donate to a dev (real pledges only please).
and for those that doubt. If you think this is a hopeless endeavor, if you believe this phone is dead (which many do), then you may as well pledge some $. There is nothing to lose. If we finally get the development we need, it will certainly be worth as much as a paper toss game in the play store. and besides, devs need our thanks in general (I'm considering building a retroactive bounty for Mt).
PS: PG, if you pull off your CM port, this hopeful bounty is all yours.
Lets try and revive this guys. It's a solid phone, it just needs a little love (and google now).
I'll keep track of the pledges in post #2
Reserved for tracking total etc.
Update 02/26/13: Total Pledge: $210!
If you have been thanked by me, your pledge is included in the total.

Sorry it isn't much but I'll add $5 into the pot. I don't have much time left with the revo but had a great experience with the community here! This is my first android phone and am thankful for the development for it!
5$! Sorry it's not much, but whatever works right?
five bucks is plenty really. Thank you!
now if we can just get some more people to pledge and get a devs attention we might be in business

Posting here works fine. If you all keep up with my Esteem progress then you already know I jumped to CM10. I will copy and make the needed changes to me repo for the Revo soon, trying to get it in some sort of usable state.

We've already got great work out there with excellent apps and mods bringing some CM functionality to rooted Moto X owners. As someone who has paid a ridiculously high price for a dev edition phone (I figured I saved up enough cash resisting an upgrade from my GNex for almost 2 years), I was wondering if any of the most popular devs have stated that they are working on Moto X ports of their ROMs i.e. cyanogen, aokp, PA, liquidsmooth, etc. Quick Google search does not return any results, wondering if anyone here had any insight. Thanks!!
I know hashcode, dhacker, and bmc08gt all have one.

I have only had my phone for about a week. Love it. I know the phone is fairly new but this is the quietest forum I've ever seen. Are there devs behind the scene hacking away at this locked bootloader? I've picked up a lot of knowledge over the years by paying attention and help from the devs. I wish I could help but that kind of stuff is over my head.
yes
Aznrice2k4 is working on it, djrbliss and shellnut r definitely capable of this but I don't think they have the flex I no they r genius and did amazing things for lg but idk I think we r screwed Im banking on aznrice2k4 .

Lg G Flex D958
Rooted (IOROOT was my root method)
BusyBox Installed
Bootloader still locked
No Recovery Available for this model...
Are there any news on D958 or bootloader somewhere?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I have never owned an LG before. Always Samsung, and it seems the Sammy's get a little more attention. They have a huge chunk of the market now. I just wanted to try something new this time. I really like the phone and I really hope they crack this thing. Cause like all of you I'm a flashoholic! Why else would we be here discussing this on XDA I am glad to hear there are some smart guys out there doing their thing though.
Im on the same boat i always had sammys never had any bootloader probs and alwayys had recovery. Boy i sure miss odin?

I'm not going to comment on all that dev drama crap. It sucked. I'm over it. Anyways KR is still kick ass for me and so I'm staying. I'm kitkat spolied. We can't get any AOKP or cynagenmod so this is the tip of it. The sad thing is that a talented dev screwed us and himself on the donation front. Damn I said I wouldn't go there......my bad.
Sent from my Note 3 "Ghostwerks style".....using your mom's hacked AT&T wifi.....dig it?
I plan on staying with KitKat even though my favorite rom is gone. Not sure what to think about the situation but I guess my phone will continue to run KR5.6 until I find something better. I think it is unlikely that Note 3 users will get anything better than what we saw with that particular dev even though it was a pretty shady situation.
Just my opinion...
Can somebody please send me a valid link to kr5.6? Maybe Dropbox or something just so I can experience it? I wasn't around to grab it b4 the drama or whatever was going on

With @graydiggy...X-note 12 runs fine. Speaking of which, wonder if there was really a "kernel" issue with X-note 13 or if the guy needed a donation to get it fixing.
Oh wells, like someone else said on this thread. Someone will figure out the porting process and take care of us AT&T users.
I'm still using KR for now until a better KitKat ROM is out. I wasn't experiencing any issues except a messaging fc when using the pen to show a preview. I was able to fix this by flashing another ROM and using titanium backup to backup messages and flash back to KR then do a restore in titanium. So I guess I'm staying for now.

Thanks in advance for providing the community with your work.
The reason it gets brought up so much is because people actually did care for his work and it's sad that he tarnished his great work but now this gives us all an opportunity to try other devs great work..just wish we had a flash able kit kat rom that can be flashed via the new safestrap..my computer is actin up and don't want to risk my pic shutting down in middle of an Odin flash

I want Kit Kat...its a d555
Thnks for your help.
Can someone post a link to the actual KitKat from WALMART site where Da Kine got that KitKat at ? Looks good. I think I want that on my FLEX. Is it compatible with the d959? Can we keep root, or will it melt in your hand not in your mouth ?
I motion that we reopen Da Kine's KitKat for the D959 thread back up! People where getting a good laugh out of it. It wasnt hurting anybody and everybody needs a good laugh. Looks like you my sir could use one yourself.

I don't see the exact version that I have, but they should be the same and compatible with every variant of the G Flex. Root works for me, you literally just put it on your phone, it will melt in your hand if you hold it too long though, its one of those annoying bugs that haven't been removed yet. :highfive:

There's nothing to be sorry about, the KitKat threads were getting out of hand and really annoying. I just made mine for sh*ts and giggles, everyone can use a good laugh now and then. I know mods are busy and have lives of there own, but I was just surprised at how long it took for them to do something about the threads. I know that we can report threads, but I'm not going to sit here and do their job or make it any easier for them.
No hard feeling towards any members or mods, I was just trying to make others laugh and smile. Now let's focus back on getting this dang phone a custom recovery and Roms.

Alright,
I'm posting here in hopes that someone will be able to help me out with this.
I've done the back to stock thing with the LG software, and the serial number and blah blah. Now I'm interested in getting to Kitkat and and retaining root.
Now, in the thread that was locked (an already developed topic about a specific subject and never should have been locked.), people were posting the most incoherent series of events that lead to them retaining root.
Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730366
Here's an example of a grammatically butchered quote:
I rooted my flex. Then as i was rooting it, it was downloading. Kk. When my root rebooted, the update started. When i came atop, i had both. I used titanium this morning to remove the bloat ware. I got the flex around 5pm yesterday so i haven't had time to use a lot of root apps yet.

This makes no sense phonetically at all. If you're attempting to help people, please put it into a coherent sentence structure that we can follow.
Anyways, my question is this. For those of you who have successfully updated, what was the exact process? Leave out any details that don't matter (i.e, when you got your flex.)
Post step by step details.
So what it looks like is multiple people had the update downloading. Then before they went to reboot for the update, they rooted with ioroot. When ioroot rebooted the phone, it processed the upgrade and kept root. Is that correct?
Here are the exact steps i used to update and retain root. I restored to factory, rooted with ioroot, took the ota.

Yeah but you should see the bloat in the Walmart version. But it does have the "Rollback" apk . And self checkout. But I believe its a requirement to wear sweat pants and a dirty Garfield sweatshirt while using it. (Or mullet).
