The DEVS over here at XDA are exclaimed all across the web for being able to do the impossible. You guys are the heroes of not just geeks, but anyone who cares about freedom of personal property.

I'd like to see the amount of money this small group of people have not only saved the consumers, but made for Verizon, Moto, HTC, Samsung, LG, ATT, Sprint, and all the others.

Because of what you do, it makes their products more desireable. I wish they would realize that.

BUT, I know you devs love a good challenge, so let me wish you best of luck to please root this D3 ASAP! I'm coming from an OD and have had my D3 for a few days...sure its quick and awesome, but I know you guys will make it a phenom phone!
[Motorola Droid 3] gsuslikesme:
Add me to the group of people that will donate when you awesome guys get the D3 rooted.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rob_0126:
Came over from a Palm Pixi plus. Will be glade to receive the D3 tomorrow.

I'd be happy just to be able to clean out the bloatware I keep hearing about.
[Motorola Droid 3] xmr405o:
Yup, only positive pollys are allowed to post here. Jk.

But seriously a locked bootloader was scary when it first was introduced...but there are some very smart devs out there and they have my faith.

In Devs we trust! Everyone say it! :p
[Motorola Droid 3] xformulax:
i have 2 pixi plus phones.... if you came to a D3 with 10 times the bloat it has, you'd still thank baby jesus every 10 minutes that you no longer have that POS pixi.

with that being said, i cant wait until we have root.... stupid vzw apps.
[Motorola Droid 3] Immolate:
This may only be psychology, but we have groups in our D3 app drawer so you can always create a group minus the bloat so at least you don't have to look at it. Believing is half the battle, my brothers.
[Motorola Droid 3] peterslawgroup:
Does Droid 3 have eFuse?

I've been searching for the answer to this for a month now and can't seem to find the answer. Does the Droid 3 have eFuse or not? Just trying to get an idea for how long we might have to wait for root and the likelihood that something "else" will pop up on the horizon by that point. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Mills00013:
Well it does have a locked bootloader. Which means its not possible to change anything that eFUSE (if present) would be even watching. The assumption is that it probably does (which means we would need keys as well as the ability to override the boot ramdisk) but its really a null argument since we know the bootloader is locked.
[Motorola Droid 3] c4blimtizle:
i am definitely looking forward to root on my d3 also. Im actually enjoying the blur on it for the eye candy. Would love to loose the bloat on it. But for now im totally satisfied with my d3.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rob_0126:
There is a few things I miss from the pixi(ability to swipe a card out of existence, etc), but all in all, I can handle the speed difference. Would have never thought a phone would come with a dual core processor.
[Motorola Droid 3] chemical1der:
I'd be more than happy to donate too! I'm coming over from a DInc running the latest MIUI release and chad's bad ass incredikernel. I swore I'd return the D3 in a week since I had root on my DInc long enough to forget what it was like to use a stock phone. Suffice it to say, I am very, very, very, happy with the D3! It's crazy fast, blur ain't too bad (in fact, I rather like this iteration of it) and I get excellent battery life for a phone without a custom kernel. I like that Motorola has baked in options to control data (something that Chainfire's SuperPower did wonderfully.) It definitely helps extend the battery. And the keyboard is sick!

Anyway, I'll be ready to donate when the time comes.
[Motorola Droid 3] cmhydro:
Just got mine Thursday. I really like the phone so far coming from a D2 but I can't wait for root! I will definitely be donating when it happens. The anticipation is killing me! Please guys, I know you can do it! I wish I knew how to help out and contribute to the project more than $$ but that is all I can offer. More than happy to help in that aspect and honestly can't wait to open my wallet. Good luck finding an exploit soon!
[Motorola Droid 3] Tidbits:
I don't think it matters if it's an locked or unlocked bootloader too much... What matters if it's encrypted. a locked bootloader can always get around it as seen with various other devices out there that have a locked bootloader. Until someone can confirm it has a encrypted bootloader
[Motorola Droid 3] androidphan88:
I also cannot wait and will donate to the dev that roots it.

I just had a really good idea for a rom though if we ever get that far. I acctually like this new blur and i think if a savy dev tore it apart and completely optimized it, if thats even possible, and gave a few options like the vertical or horizontal app drawer. but i think a optimized version of this blur would be nice. I have only come up on a few situations where it lags, the battery life is not that great in my mind when i compare it to my DX that ran apex. just a thought maybe someone will try it ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] xxspark89xx:
It would be nice to have a "toolbox" of settings for the Blur.
[Motorola Droid 3] darkmatter34:
If someone could fix moto's gallery app, it would be amazing. I love how it pulls facebook/flickr/etc, but its so ugly. And I hate how thers no folders or whatever for on device pics, just one folder with all pics on the phone loaded by date.
[Motorola Droid 3] eXsoR:
Count me in too i will donate to the dev that root it!

I would like to remove all the vzw app and unnecessary app on the phone.

Anyone who gets the Droid 3 rooted quickly will be getting $20, i can no longer wait...
[Motorola Droid 3] gravenimage:
i'll definitely be donating to the dev that gets this phone rooted.
[Motorola Droid 3] crcamc:

plus on the donation
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I'm a cheap bastard, and I would donate! lol
[Motorola Droid 3] dotson817:
I'm with whitty! This phone will be a monster with root
[Motorola Droid 3] nerdslogic:
Will donate
[Motorola Droid 3] r00t beer:
I love my droid 3 - it's pretty much perfect. The number keys are amazing. I think I speak for most people when I say we do not need root/custom roms for D3, it's fine how it is
[Motorola Droid 3] eXsoR:
I agree with you, but I would like root only to remove unwanted app and have backup and restore feature! Im to use to my DROID to give that up. :D

Sent from my DROID3
[Motorola Droid 3] dotson817:
Yeah mainly needs bloat off... other than that amazing phone, first one I might avtually stick with longer than a couple months lol
[Motorola Droid 3] eXsoR:
Same here man im loving it :D
[Motorola Droid 3] snareplayer1993:
Same here I love my d3 just want to get rid of the bloat! And I would love to have wireless tether again!
[Motorola Droid 3] c4blimtizle:
I to will be donating to whomever gets this beast rooted. No rush on custom roms, just needs to loose some dead weight and have backup and restore functionality.
[Motorola Droid 3] ckarrow2:
I'll certainly part with some cash to get this fine phone rooted! Whoever roots first is apparently up for some major $$$. I've seen donation promises on other forums.
[Motorola Droid 3] dotson817:
Same it almost makes me want to take the time to learn all the stuff to try lol
[Motorola Droid 3] djrajir:
I must say I tend to be a leacher since i'm a poor college student, but I am willing to donate some instant noodle and beer money to the great dev that brings us root.
[Motorola Droid 3] bmar29:
So I had an original droid. However it randomly stopped working 5 months ago, so Ive been out of the Android scene for awhile now. Ive noticed all these great themes and customizations coming out recently, especially in the XDA Android themes section.

Do you need root to change the look and theme of your phone? Cause I'm planning on buying a D3 and would like to theme it.
[Motorola Droid 3] das7771:
If you want to change the look of the stock UI, like the menu, notification bar and stuff like that than yes you will need root as you are making changes to the framework res file. Another option for now is to install launcher pro, adw or some thing like that and those launcher have lots of themes but it's mainly just icons and colors changes to just the launcher itself and not the rest of the system.
[Motorola Droid 3] bmar29:
Hey guys. Figured I would post this from someone over at Phandroid. Don't know if its true or trustworthy so obviously take it with a grain of salt.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
If true, that's awesome! I'm fine with blur until then, but root would be nice soon lol

I remember seeing moto's facebook page a good number of months back (I think it was their facebook page, idk, it was some official statement on the web) and they took a poll and like 90% or so voted on unlocked bootloaders, then a few days later they came and said something about providing unlocked bootloaders in the future.
[Motorola Droid 3] darkmatter34:
How much would you bet if they pushed to code to xda, the bugs would be worked out in a week?

Imo, these companies are wating a lot of money and resources. I bet if the d3 was open to begin with, any and all issues would be solved already.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
A week at the very most, lol.

Im curious to see who our devs are going to be.

I for one wanted to learn rom making when I had my Inc, maybe now I'll finally get into it.
[Motorola Droid 3] dotson817:
Anyone know any starting places to learn this stuff?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Poking around in files, seeing what does what, and trial and error is how I learn things like this. Not the best way, but meh. Lol
[Motorola Droid 3] nerdslogic:
yes....I know a way....Google.

It wont answer everything...but you can pray for the rest ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] thebasuke:
Talk to devs in other forums.. they will be more than willing to help... I got a bud who wants root for his d3 and me and a dev buddy are looking through things trying to get it done
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
Woody hasn't come up with anything yet, but but I've thrown him a few bucks anyway, so just to help the process. I wouldn't be surprised to see CVPCS from CM jump on board, and since he worked almost exclusively with the Droid for so long. Maybe Pete will come in too... even though I've never used a Bugless ROM, I know they get good reviews. Personally, I'm hoping that the Liquid team, and Chevy develop for the D3. Seeing Simply Stunning or Liquid Gingerbread on this device would be a dream come true!
[Motorola Droid 3] nerdslogic:
I would love to get some CM7 on the D3....OMG that would be epic
[Motorola Droid 3] jjhiza:
I know, right?! I'd bet a good amount of money that they're one of the first three teams (behind Droid Concepts, and maybe Chevy) to get behind this. The OG Droid was such a dev favorite, that I find it hard to believe that they would ignore the D3. While I had serious issues with CM7 on my Droid, I would still be interested to see what they can roll out for the next generation of TRUE Droid devices (being the X2 and the D3, imo)! Hope we can get root sorted soon! :)
[Motorola Droid 3] elkay:
The D1 was so dev-friendly because it was not locked down like every Motorola device that followed it. Honestly, we're going to have to wait for another 2.3.4+ GB device to come out that has more people aching for root. While I wish the D3 was it, I don't think it is. When the Bionic and SGSII hit shelves, then you'll start to see dev love. The root method should be universal across devices because it's tied to the Android version for the most part.
[Motorola Droid 3] nerdslogic:
If that were true than we would already have it based off the nexus.. I think we are waiting on ota of any kind
[Motorola Droid 3] elkay:
No, the Nexus has it because it doesn't have a locked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid 3] nerdslogic:
Understood.....I was just responding to the whole "we can root based off version"comment
[Motorola Droid 3] djrajir:
While this is true with the bionic its not true with the sgsii because they will likely use odin to gain root on it.
[Motorola Droid 3] gravenimage:
God I hope Liquid devs for the D3. Liquid was so boss on my OG
[Motorola Droid 3] GoogleAndroid:
I loved Liquid. I'd love to see some Droid devs on the Droid 3. Pete comes to mind too. I loved Bugless Beast.
[Motorola Droid 3] bmar29:
So far no other phones have been helpful when it comes to the D3. The closest is the Atrix. You can now root a locked Atrix that is on 2.3.4. Maybe that will be some help to developers. But I have a feeling someone is going to have to come up with something original in this case.
[Motorola Droid 3] elkay:
Yeah, I looked into the Atrix thing. Looks like it might be something we might be able to use with the D3, if not directly, at least the same method. I posted on their thread asking if the person that came up with it is on the thread and if they think the same method will work on the D3.
[Motorola Droid 3] bmar29:
glad somebody looked into it. I guess it would be worth a shot. Although we should probably wait for the developer's response that way nobody does any damage
[Motorola Droid 3] elkay:
Yeah, I won't just be blindly flashing anything.
[Motorola Droid 3] taylorhome11:
Well mine is coming tomorrow and I'm not afraid to break stuff. So I will be messing with it a lot to try and get root. I know I don't have many posts but I know how to mess with stuff. We will see what comes out of it
[Motorola Droid 3] elkay:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeebbr:
was it like this before.

there is a known issue that when the phone is overcharging(by voltage-not capacity) the screen is less responsive.maybe in this situation it got all turned off.

are you using another charger?battery?changed a ROM recently?

Not a bug as its not a Samsung release .

[Desire General] eckh:
I had Oxygen hboot installed but wanted to switch back to original ROM. I Ran RUU but forgot to replace hboot with original one.

Now i have gray HTC in middle and /!\ in corners.

I can run RUU again and it recognizes the phone, but gives ERROR[152]:IMAGE UPDATE ERROR and recovery option doesn't help either, ends up with same error while retrying.

I can't boot into bootloader with power+vol. down

Any suggestions what to do next ? Is there any solutions ?

Nevermind, Fastboot worked. Flashed correct hboot, ran RUU again and it's working now.
[Desire General] mihaitrasca:
please help

Can you be more specific for a noob?! I have the exact same problem and i'm desperate. What exactly did you do?
[Desire General] danarama:
You need to fastboot flash (using commands or android flasher) the Alpharev downgrader image like it says on the alpharev site. Basically the same way you flashed your current hboot.
[Desire General] mihaitrasca:
done

thanks guys, mine is working too now:D
[Desire General] Ruwin:
Hi guyz!

I just bought a second hand Desire from a guy i dont know, and it seems it has some issues. I know it is not bricked as i can enter the bootloader and the fastboot mode. But that's all. I cannot access any recovery i flash, or boot any rom.

I flashed several RUU's via bootloader, one of them is booting but it reboots as soon as it settles down. Others dont even boot.

I am familiar with flashing, with fastboot and all that, i just have no experience in HTC Desire.

Bootloader details:

---AlphaRev----

BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

MICROP-031d

TOUCH-PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.17.05.23

Aug 10 2010, 17:52:18

So this is what i get. Is there a method to get some working ROM on this one, other than flashing RUU's that doesnt seem to work? Or flashing with recovery?

I have flashed clockwork recovery via fastboot, it still doesnt work. It vibrates 7 times than the screen stays at the htc logo.

Maybe there is a fastboot method to inject all the stock stuff into the phone? And maybe somebody have those img's?

Many thanks, guys!
[HTC Sensation] snarestud940:
Hey Guys,

I sold my rooted Samsung Vibrant and forgot to check the sd card for a certain wallpaper. I had a trigger rom on it and the wallpaper was the picture of a city (in gray and blue) and an android guy with its mouth open walking around the city. It was my favorite wallpaper and I wanted it for my Sensation but I can't find it. I've been searching all over the internet. Anyone have a clue?
[HTC Sensation] motoi_bogdan:
Ok :p after the previous journey with hd2's thermal problems and since i got a new htc sensation, i found myself a little bored until either devs or htc gives us some s-off for our phones. So i've heard of this death grip issue and want to give it a try to find a hardware fix for it. Some of you may know me for the geeky technical approaches, so i'll try to get some stuff working here.

Anyway, i have the Sensation from about 4-5 days. I'm yet to determine the seriousness of this issue and how much wireless transmissions are affected.

After inspecting the device construction, it's simple to assume that the reason for the death grip is an interference between the antenna emissions and the EM interference from the human body (hand).

I'll be conducting a series of measurements using some hardware tools to find out the exact cause. Only after this i can begin to work for a fix.

So far this future fix must comply with these conditions:

1. NOT to void the warranty. The fix have to be removable and the phone brought to it's original condition.

2. More easier and safe then my hd2 reheating thread :D. The solution must be clear, simple and must make use of generic household materials.

3. The death grip issue must be solved in a satisfactory way so that the fix itself is worth the trouble.

This is the start of a new project, it may take a while for some real results to come and the first thing to be determined is if the issue is really user solvable.

So, wish me luck..:) i guess i'll be starting tomorrow and post some pictures/things i find during the process.
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
Good luck, I'm also tempted to start some experiments. BTW it might be worth having a extra Back cover to due testing with. You can get one from HTC.
[HTC Sensation] motoi_bogdan:
well, that's the idea. the method must be non invasive for that back cover and must also present no risk in damaging it.
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
I was so annoyed by the touchscreen issue I never got round to this one :\

I wanted to test if the problem could be "reduced" by simply adding a strip of aluminium foil along the cover... You can probably come up with something better :)

Thank you for helping!
[HTC Sensation] Xlythe:
Thanks! If you can even slightly improve things, you'd be a god. I love this phone, but the WiFi dying (in landscape) is the one issue that constantly nags. [:
[HTC Sensation] 2003evo8:
That's funny, mine doesn't die on any orientation about the wifi.
[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
I've yet to experience this also...
[HTC Sensation] lizdjames:
Ditto...I haven't experienced this either. *knocks on wood*
[HTC Sensation] MerLinh:
Well it really depends on where your router is and how strong is the signal... I've tested mine with wall between it dropped significantly and even disconnects, while next to it only a bar or more but return to normal state after a few moments. But it shouldn't do that, and I've got asus wl520-gc router.
[HTC Sensation] 2003evo8:
That's true but he was saying he looses it in landscape mode.
[HTC Sensation] Tirozz:
FOTA reduced the death grip issues for me..
[HTC Sensation] motoi_bogdan:
i will be making some physical measurements on how the phone's transceiver produces and handles 2.43 Ghz ISM type signals. At this moment i haven't tested my device for the death grip but like i've said, i have some spare time and want to help on this.

By using an oscilloscope i will try see what's happening to the signal level in real time.
[HTC Sensation] Xlythe:
It's my hand touching the top of the phone when I hold it in landscape. Sorry if there was confusion. Light touches cause dramatic losses in signal on my phone.

Edit: WiFi only.
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Looking forward to results. Godspeed.
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
I hate to sound like an Apple fanboy but I was not able to replicate this "accidentally."

Now it might have to do with the different frequencies of the Bell verison of phone, or my signal strength.

I watched a video of someone placing the phone flat on their hand and the signal strength completely dropping off. While I was able to drop a bar of cellular signal, it was far from the video.

I did not get any noticeable drop in wifi.
[HTC Sensation] joon82:
I went to 3 different tmobile stores and had 3 replacement phones. They all had death grip.

also don't think its EM. I lose wifi signal by covering with single sheet of paper.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Cover what with a single sheet of paper, the back of the phone? You lost the wifi signal completely? I get no effect by putting a piece of paper on my phone. Never heard of lead paper. :)
[HTC Sensation] idlerpt:
any updates ?

is it possible to solve it with hard cover... i read smowhere that with a silicone one won't solve it.

[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
They will replace it for you, just tell them that one of the buttons is no longer working. It's a warranty replacement, I had to get mine replaced because the vol- button wasn't even a button anymore and had to be jammed in to be "pressed".
