[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Macrodroid:
Clearly my point is being missed here as well... And, btw, if there are things in eclipse from ukb without any credits given, send me a list in pm and I'll update the op...

The trend lately, and I know everyones seen this, is "this mod is mine, dont use my stuff without permission". Which is totally fine up to the point when the dev tells you no for permissions. Exclusivity is causing more harm than good here.

IMHO, if It's posted here, anyone should have the right to use it (as long as It's credited). Not saying don't ask first, that's a matter of respect, just saying devs need to stop with the selfish behaviour. For most newbies, a no just gives an excuse to pirate the work and make small changes to call it theirs... By opening up and sharing such things, gives newbies the opportunity to grow a contribute more. Most, if not all, of us are here to learn, play and contribute. Those who hog the sandbox push others out who might otherwise would have made bigger and better contributions... It starts with devs stopping the "that's my jar" attitude and maybe wording it differently... Saying yes more and adapting a sharing attitude is much more productive!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
pla·gia·rism   [pley-juh-riz-uhm, -jee-uh-riz-] Show IPA

noun

1.

an act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author: It is said that he plagiarized Thoreau's plagiarism of a line written by Montaigne. Synonyms: appropriation, infringement, piracy, counterfeiting; theft, borrowing, cribbing, passing off.

2.

a piece of writing or other work reflecting such unauthorized use or imitation: “These two manuscripts are clearly plagiarisms,” the editor said, tossing them angrily on the floor. (Taken from dictionary.com)

See how easily I credited the site I used?

Plagiarism is looked at as a crime in the college and professional world. Most colleges will kick you right out of school if they catch you plagiarizing. It really is a big deal and it sticks with you through out your life. All schools will see what you did and probably won't accept you after that happens.

I hated citing work as a student but once you learn the proper way to do it, it is very easy and takes no time at all. I'm no dev. but I can understand how other devs would be mad to see their work being used without being properly credited. It's really about respect towards the other dev to give them their credit for whatever it is they helped fix. In my opinion using someone elses work as your own not only makes you look foolish, but it is a total smack in the face to the dev that found the "fix".

That type of stuff would not fly in the professional world because no big name company wants their name tarnished because someone under their belt couldn't properly cite or do the work they initially thought they could do. Even if the dev is very talented, getting caught plagiarizing one simple thing could make them look like a fraud.

Again, I'm no dev but I 100% agree with Nit on this. Maybe one day when someone steals your work and uses it as their own you might change you stance on this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
the vast majority of what i release im fine with other people using, in parts (obviously changing one thing and rereleasing a rom isnt kosher) as long as credit is properly given

as for the use of other's work in general, if i a dev or group has their own policy on sharing then its up to them ultimately

im associated with team venom for porting viper rom, but by no means i am in charge of anything...j4n87 and monarx are the brains behind the tweaks/code/etc and ultimately set things the way they are...

for a long time when the two of them were doing leedroid tweaks they had an open sharing policy: pm them and ask (they always said yes), dont change the credits in the gui app, and then wait a week after release before using/including them in other's roms

however, no one seemed to respect that (or many didnt) and changed the credits in the app, didnt link back to the original, didnt wait a week, or never bothered to pm them....often citing the execuse "roman didnt care when he originally made tweaks"...which wasnt really true since roman had a 2 week waiting period on using his tweaks after he released it, and actually pulled the source from github after awhile cuz he was getting pissed that everyone was using it at will the next day

i think a time frame exclusivity is more than fair in regards to sharing, but if that can't be respected by multiple individuals....then the current situation w/ team venom's sharing policy happens

and at this point i guess i no longer really care if eclipticsense's credits are updated properly...its on its own site and i no longer have anything to do w/ hawk....they should have been from the beginning or at any point it was brought up, and thats that

interesting ... been using a similar app on my iphone glad u made one for the droid too !!

cheers
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
I'm curious. What does it do exactly? You put it in your car, calibrate it, and hear a turbo spooling + BOV sound everytime you accelerate?
[Android Apps and Games] jthatch12:
Why don't you get a real car with a real turbo and a BPV because we all know that BOV make your car run rich so they're not good unless your pushing 25 + lbs of boost. App is pointless, I'd try it if it were free because I'm always imitating my WRX
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
But we're not discussing running a BPV vs a BOV here, although I agree with you a BOV just makes your computer compensate and your car will run richer (and all the problems of doing that with it). Simply intrigued at what exactly this app does.

And meh WRX and STIs, nice starts from totally stopped due to 4WD, no power on a rolling start.

350Z FTW!
[Android Apps and Games] jthatch12:
Erhmmm... AWD ;) . PS. I still get a **** ton of torque in 3rd gear so your little 350z would be murdered bwahahahaha..

Off-topic though:

I'd like to see this app in a lite-version
[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Uh huh. That's what all the Subby's owner say. None seem to be able to prove it in the end. Obviously aftermarket parts being installed will change things a bit.

Not that the WRX and STIs aren't great cars, they are very fun cars to drive, but performance from anything than a dead stop stock has always been a bit lackluster. They'll do 0-60 super quick and on paper it looks damn good, but they don't seem to hit 100 mph on the quarter mile. Anything after 100mph is unknown ground to the little boxer anyway. :p

Edit: Except one of my friends STI. That thing is scary fast at any speed. I don't know his times but even I **** my pants when I step in it. Dropped too much money to mention on it though!
[Android Apps and Games] jthatch12:
No one has a pure stock WRX or STi. I have a up pipe/downpipe, full magnaflow TBE, STi intercooler, Torque Solutions Shifter bushings with Sickspeed weighted shift knob, Protune the list goes on..... Yes it costs money but my car sounds and looks sexy and the 285 whp it produces is only the begining!

[Android Apps and Games] polobunny:
Can't check your link, but I'm sure that's good from the description. You'd be amazed or sadenned at the lot of stock WRX and STis I've encountered. Just because it says STi doesn't mean you get a free pass to beat everyone. Some people act like it though haha
[Android Apps and Games] jthatch12:
But remember

I agree, there is a few bone stocks out there. The WRX I know has about 225 ponies bare stock, the STi has about 300 hp. Not the highest numbers but remember the second we get to a corner or it starts to rain, game over WRX/STi wins 9/10 times

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cocoadog:
Will flashing the unlocked bootloader ruin the phone if I try to Odin back to stock ? Maybe a dumb question but as I don't have ten posts yet I can't ask in the regular thread. Sorry:/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
perhaps you could make some productive posts and make threads in their correct location.

i dont have an answer for you, sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Yes it does belong in Q&A, but I mean themes is better than putting it in development. Don't be an ass/troll to the new guy. If you can't answer his question or at least attempt, you don't have to reply. The mods can handle the misplaced posts (even though they probably tire of it).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cocoadog:
That's my bad I did mean to put it in the q and a. Mods can remove. I think you just need to flash the boot.IMG and the normal stock in Odin. Ha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
AFAIK using Odin to go back to stock returns everything back to stock including bootloader. Or at least that's what I've read
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
I wasnt being an ass. I dont remember my new member restrictions. I thought that some forums may be locked to new members until the post count is reached.

I thought that the OP was posting in this section because he was unable to access the appropriate section. Thus, my comment.

I apologize if it came off as a **** comment. I was just encouraging productive posting. I really dotn know the answer, either lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
I didn't mean to be a **** either, I'm just tired of people bashing the new people. People that could, possibly, produce something amazing for the community in the future.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SFniner415:
Yeah i agree. This is the best community ive seen ever since joining xda in the TyTn II days. Lets keep it nice and friendly.

As for the OP im not quite sure about unlocking the bootloader as it is very new. I like to atleast wait a few days after thigs come out to be safe before flashing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
thats all i was trying to encourage. tone is hard to tell on the interwebs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dushotgun:
Ok I got overly excited with the news of the bootloader being unlocked. So I flashed the unsecure boot loader to my phone and everything went fine. So I decided to go ahead and extract the the kernel I was using from the zip so I didn't have to use kexec anymore. Anyway I read a post incorrectly and flashed the kernel to the wrong partition on my phone and got a hard brick. I can't get into odin or clockwork recovery, only a black screen. I saw another post I accidently flashed it to dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

If I plug it into my computer I get the popup to install the QHSUSB_DLOAD. If there is anyway to recover this please let me know!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aj8600:
Time to get your story straight.... "I just turned it off and it won't turn back on??? Maybe my chargers broken?"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jgrimberg1979:
Not to be a **** but damn dude WTF..Why would you do that. Anyways i think the only way to recovery is jtag since you are getting qhsusb_dload but i dont know. pm adam and ask him maybe he can help you out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
Wait you tried to unzip the kernel in your pc? For what exactly? How did you flashed it back unzipped?

VERIZON GALAXY S 3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dushotgun:
Yeah I effed up majorly. I was on a droid x for 2 years before so I'm new with kernel flashing. So jtag is the only option?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
You can try a USB Jig to force your phone into Download mode, but if it's truly hardbricked then JTAG or getting a replacement are your only options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
I hate to go off topic and say this but this could be one potential reason as to why the idiots at Verizon want to lock stuff.

Why not wait for things to settle down before trying it out without knowing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] icebear8:
we're only human if i had this phone and saw this unlocked bootloader i would get excited about it as well lol i feel for the man/woman
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dushotgun:
Yeah thanks I realize I screwed up. I guess I was overconfident after two years of flashing stuff. I just need to know if there are any tools to reflash the aboot I effed up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coderedpl:
Does pressing power home + vol down not do anything?

Contact Adam he might be able to help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Sucks, OP.

And don't even bother writing Adam. I don't know him, but I read his threads. He just had a major accomplishment (with help) and he will probably not even respond. Let him have his day/peace. He earned it. You admit that you jumped the gun.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Ohhh..c'monnnn- he/she was a Droid X user. As a fellow X2 encrypted bootloader ****ing never unlocked I was excited as **** about it being cracked too.

I'm not ****ing with my kernel or nothing.. but.. I couldn't resist. Been on lock down for 2 years- pre ordered the phone and come to find out they locked this ****er too.

Don't be so hard on the guy/gal.. :angel:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dushotgun:
I sent him a message but no response yet. I tried that and I still get nothing thanks though. I've read every page of the bootloader research by adam I saw this on his original post:

"op5= aboot

This block is signed by Samsung, we will not be able to modify it

This block contains HTML information. It would appear that it is possible to put the device into a mode where it will provide a webserver which displays state information.

This block appears to be a complete operating system

This block contains the Loke Daemon which communicates with Odin3."

I take this to mean there is no way for me to communicate with odin now and jig wouldn't be able to force it into odin either since I overwrote the 0p5 block. I guess thats it since I don't have a jtag set up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Have you considered inquiring about JTAG rates from these folks?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nbdysreal:
You flashed the kernel to the aboot partition, most likely meaning no booty booty to get into a state (download mode) where you can ODIN to stock. That being said, looks like you'll be JTAGing in your near future. Curious about prices, if you do it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
It's $60

This is why using dd to flash stuff can be dangerous. "I'm fairly certain it will flash Tetris.Apk to your bootloader partition if you tell it to" to quote one of the devs from my Thunderbolt days.

It will and it will ENJOY it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rmtobler:
Just take the phone to Verizon or call them and see if you can get a replacement first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Once you get that QHBUSB in device manager your done. Their is absolutely nothing to do short of maybe a jtag but i think it's even too late for that :( sorry. I have gotten that a few times on different phones and it always had to be exchanged.

Good news is that if it's that hard bricked, verizon won't be able to see what you did either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
This is why they feel the need to lock it.

Take some responsibility and pay the $60 to get it fixed.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
of all the reasons in the world that's by far the stupidest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Well to be fair, if VZW hadn't of locked the bootloader then he wouldn't have gotten overzealous about finally having it unlocked. Thus he would have never bricked his phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
Haha.... I knew someone would say this. The problem is he didn't know what he was doing and messed up. If it was unlocked he very well could have done something similar with any kernel. The point I was making was to own up to your screw ups.

Sent from my SGS3 on Synergy Nightlies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dushotgun:
Thank you at least someone understands. I've brought my droid x back from being bricked several times its a learning process no one is perfect. I'm sure all the people giving me grief about bricking my gs3 have bricked phones in the past and needed help. I'm not a noob by any means, I have a droid x with cm9, a touchpad with cm10, and a evo3d with aokp that I got s-ff on (from hboot 1.50) and flashed a kernel to it perfectly fine. It was just a error on my part this time, I jumped the gun and flashed the kernel to the wrong block, when my other devices have been bricked I've researched extensively to find out how to recover them. Not once have I ever returned a phone or other device because of a brick. Anyway I'm finished with my rant, I have a refurbished one being shipped to me on Monday so that's that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
Hey man mistakes happen. No one is judging you. I was simply saying you should own up to your mistakes. Sounds like you always do, so no worries.

Although this time you didn't lol

I wonder how may devices are going to oddly just stop turning on in the next week and get returned to Verizon.

Sent from my SGS3 on Synergy Nightlies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dushotgun:
Yeah but I have to trade my new phone in for a refurb so that's punishment enough. I think I was probably the first to hard brick my gs3 since the unlock was released I bet there are going to be a few next week lol. I'm usually the person that waits until everything is tried and true before going ahead and doing stuff. What I was doing would have worked fine I just flashed it to the worst block possible because I misread.

Can we have this thread deleted before Verizon uses this story as a reason to lock the bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddggttff3:
it was bricked because he was trying to unlock it. if it CAME unlock, there would be no issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nbdysreal:
Curious why fixing a IMEI would help that he flashed a kernel to his boot memory spot? he can't boot his phone, there for his IMEI doesn't matter. But even if he could boot his phone, his IMEI would probably still be there. That is only disappearing on some AOSP roms. Maybe i'm missing something else in the link, thats why i was asking as to maybe try to help him also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Even a factory unlocked device device wouldn't prevent one from doing dumb @&^% as was the case in the OP. Unlocking wasn't what caused it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Trying a JTAG repair is the way I would have gone without thinking twice. I don't like Verizon's CEO much at all, but unless you're getting them back for a prior imbalance, it seems most fair to try and fix our own mistakes.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newuser134:
It has nothing to do with the bootloader being locked or unlocked. If you're rooted, which he was, you could easily flash the wrong bootloader and hard brick the phone, that was in the VERY first root thread, what happens if you try to flash an unsecure aboot without disabling secure boot. So I wouldn't get on to this person about how Verizon had a good reason to lock down the bootloader, this could have happened regardless, but the unlocked bootloader will help undo many soft bricks probably. Besides, how often does anyone flash a kernel to the bootloader partition? This is a one in a million scenario, I doubt they locked it for things Ike this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
kernel? maybe is limited, but people who download things without verifying MD5 sums and then flash them? many.

I never saw it on the rezound, but on some other HTC phones I have seen people flash hboots without verifying md5ums and bricks galore.

All you have to do is have someone mirror the hboot and get a bad upload, and everyone that downloads it is screwed if their is no md5sum to check, or if there is and they don't check it.

for those of you who don't know, for the most part aboot = hboot in terms of phone booting.
