Database Develop

Droid X Security Measures

As outlined by Droid dev Steven Bird: http://stevenbird.info/2010/07/10/the-droidx-security-and-discovery/
I know absolutely nothing about Android development, but here's hoping that another dev here can make sense of it.

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?

What we need to do is setup a site called "WeWant2RootDroidX.com" and make all tech blogs in the world link to it.
Well, just an idea.

Done deal. Give DNS a few hours to propagate and it's live!

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

Link to news of root?

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010...-the-droid-x-may-not-lead-to-a-bricked-phone/
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 have an X and rooting files(I wont say what they are) ready to go, but you know what? Im not gonna be the first person to try this. Im sure someone out there will take the leap off of the proverbial cliff for us. Lets just hope moto didnt cut that persons parachute strings!

Android Dev Phone 3

I know that Nexus One is now available as an Android Dev Phone. How much is the cost of it now?

One of my friend have told me that the price of the Dev Phone is different. This is why I was asking this quetion. Google is not selling Nexus One anymore.

As usual, another worthless reply.
Nobody has seen the any links on Google for the developer phone that they say is available at this time.
So...the answer is, maybe?

The web page accessible from the "Development Phones" link on my developer's console page still only shows the ADP 2, going for $399 US. I'd guess that the Nexus One will be up there soon and that it'll cost the same as when it was generally available. But maybe we'll be lucky and they'll knock $25 off of it to make up for the cost of registering as a developer.

Has anyone tried this method of rooting the Turbo?

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.

LG G4 H811 Marshmallow

Any news on when/if the Marshmallow update comes to H811 T-Mobile?

The tmo support site has it listed as "Manufacturer Development", so it means that tmo have probably just received the update or are working on it. Click here if you want to check it out. I remember last year the G3 being "In Development" around March 2015, so I am guessing around then if not sooner.

All I got from that thread was a bunch of users speculating when, why, and who was the cause for the update not being released yet. I saw nothing from any T-Mobile rep giving any info or blaming LG. All the accusations I saw came from users in that thread.
I think some of those users have their facts wrong about the Wi-Fi calling issue, that was the G3 when it first got updated to Lollipop 5.0.1 that was causing a problem for some users, I was one of those users, but T-Mobile never blamed LG.
I'd rather they take time and get the bugs worked out and put out a fully working update rather than put out a half assed update that could and/or would screw our phones.

Question Setup tips? T-Mobile.

Getting a Pro 10 (used). Any setup tips?
Also will mostly be using with with wifi calling T-Mobile USA on a Google Nest mesh network. Anything I should know? Thanks!

Don't get a 10 pro. Best advice I could give you.

that's helpful...

Read some threads.... The informationis out there, there are better alternatives.
I have never seen a device be abandoned so much.. I'm not going to write everything I've already written again because people won't be bothered to look themselves, the info is there, have a look.

You must be confused, this device got Android 13 update this summer and just got a big update this week. Very much not abandoned.

Abandoned by developers...100% true... Not only that but oppo/oneplus are locking these devices down. Unlocking the bootloader on the 10T is already an issue.
Think it's you who's confused pal

They're mostly referring to the fact that OnePlus, once developer-friendly, has reversed that stance and with every flagship phone, has found more and more new and exciting ways to make developers' lives a living hell. Hence, no developer support. Meanwhile, OP releases updates that only seem to break things more than anything else. Buyer beware, as they say.
