i believe we need to have some real linux hackers around, and the internet is full of people trying to hack the new kernels.
i saw a thread some weeks ago, that guy might be able to help us. i will try and search for the webpage again and link to it.

does root void warranty in Wp8

does rooting in windows void warranty ?
Rooting violates warranty in any and every phone...
That aside: there currently is no way of rooting a WP8 device.

Yea, I was going to say the same thing. You can't void you warranty if you cant root your device.....YET..
Here's a silly question, is someone currently working on a root or is all hope given up? Just asking.
Most people working on WP have tended to stay rather quiet until there was something concrete to anounce. But given that they deemed most of the original Lumias unhackable unless they came from the factory with an unlocked Bootloader (as some did due to an error in manufacturing) it is entirely possible they are not working on trying to break Secure Boot.
But in the end: we simply don't know.
No.
No one is working on anything. Fact is, no one is interested.
You pick your poison, work on Lumia or work on a HTC device, but fact is there aren't enough modders/developers with devices to support any effort if there is any to begin with. Each device would require a different method , and the fact this secure boot is so different only adds to the dilemma.

Valid points, though I wonder if heathcliffs Samsung gen2 unlock can be used or modified to work, I think it uses some Microsoft exploit in conjunction with the network setup apps

Cute story but I'm a realist. There is no interest in these phones.
New phones will come out and these will be forgotten.

Its not a fact, its an opinion, your stating an absolute when its not, what is a fact is that there doesn't appear to be much going on with WP
And even if it was a fact its still moaning? yes, knowing something negative and constantly going on about it is moaning, being proactive would be more useful and would actually contribute something meaningful

Moaning is what you are doing about my post.
No one is constantly going about anything except...you.
I'll be proactive , and let you post another post about what someone else is doing because I don't have the same viewpoint as you.
Cheers.
Fact matter is there is now begin to have a interest in WP. But you still look at there user base normal every day people I class WP like iphone yea they jailed break the phone but still most of the users would not have a clue to do that. Unlike android where it is open source and you have developer coming from every direction so it's easy to creak device after another. I love my 8x it's nice not to have that option to flash or unlock bootloader is a phone in the end of the day and that is what I have been looking for all this time

That is the problem. You want to do things that you don't fully understand. Anytime you try to flash something there is a chance it will brick a device, no matter how many others haven't had that problem.
Read up on it and if you feel comfortable then do it.
And it is "know not no"

That's what i meant. Several experienced users hard bricked their phones. You no what I mean?
know verb (used with object), knew, known, know·ing.
1. to perceive or understand as fact or truth; to apprehend clearly and with certainty: I know the situation fully.
2. to have established or fixed in the mind or memory: to know a poem by heart; Do you know the way to the park from here?
3. to be cognizant or aware of: I know it.
4. be acquainted with (a thing, place, person, etc.), as by sight, experience, or report: to know the mayor.
5. to understand from experience or attainment (usually followed by how before an infinitive): to know how to make gingerbread.
no
1. (a negative used to express dissent, denial, or refusal, as in response to a question or request)
2. (used to emphasize or introduce a negative statement): Not a single person came to the party, no, not a one.
3. not in any degree or manner; not at all (used with a comparative): He is no better.
4. not a (used before an adjective to convey the opposite of the adjective's meaning): His recovery was no small miracle.

How about this... since you seem to be unable to read and search and learn for yourself, just box up your phone, send it to someone like Gotroot, Koush, or any of the other devs and ask them to do it for you...
OR.... you could bop over to the development section and freaking READ FOR YOURSELF and find out what is available.....

very sad to see so many people talking s**t about the note 4.
It might not be a huge difference from note 3 but is definitely a big upgrade from my note 2.
I think everyone expect to have extreme changes in the devices every year and that is not possible anymore.
I think now the upgrade should be every 2 years.

Someone told me that if you get the TMO version it won't have a locked bootloader, and can be usedon ATT. I'm not sure if this is true, but considering going that route.

Verizon :/ I really am getting tired of it from them tbh. I buy the phone, why should they lock the bootloader. (Yes, I know there are reasons, but still) they are not leasing the phone to me, You buy the device and use it on their network.I am paying for a service. That's just how I look at it.

I sure understand that thought. But I also understand the carriers not wanting to warranty phones that we hose trying to mess with them.
It's probably too much effort to position themselves to offer an unlock code for the bootloader, which would cost 'loss of warranty'. If they don't have to warranty them, then why should they care?

probably because so many people lie when they call for warranty service, saying they dont know why their phone suddenly "stopped" working..
Now, what could be done, is to sell an unlocked phone/boot loader, NO WARRANTY AT ALL, and see how many folks buy that model...
Not many I bet..

The vulnerability of towelroot was patched on all kernels deployed after 6th June.
It has very less chances of working.

Rooting does include its own risk, for example I completely bricked my device once. So, if you don't wanna risk it, don't root it. Any other phones you know?
