im trying to figure out if i should setup a paypal or if i should use my personal one to do it or how that should work

Get to it you fuhhckin brainiac!

Sent From My HTC One, On The Now Network From Sprint!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Zarboz:
I think ill do all of them through my personal and keep public track in the tread of donations who has sent and not

if someone requests a refund ill be able to issue it
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Zarboz:
hmmm that is kind of a problem

:(

i dont think you have to have a paypal account to send $
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
I donated in the Evo LTE thread :D didn't see this thread til just now
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Zarboz:
I wanted to support lte users too
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wranglerray:
I think this is great and all but I have one question.

How would a single riff box provide all of us with s-off? JTAG is a great skill to have but if there is only one riff box its not going to benefit the rest of the community for s-off. We need a s-off solution that wont require all of us to buy special hardware to achieve it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Zarboz:
You obviously didn't read the op
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wranglerray:
I did read your op. And the title says s-off and unbricking project.

so if this for just unbricking or both?

My point is its a little misleading. JTAG is awesome for unbricking but if this is going to be an s-off project also the average user should understand the risks of JTAG for s-off. Like it requires the phone to be taken completely apart and then flashed. And hopefully put back together correctly.

I changed the digitizer on my og evo and swore i'd never try it again. I'm not knocking what your trying to accomplish I just think the rest of the community should be aware of what jtag entails.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Zarboz:
......

so if you read the OP you would understand that i am offering free jtagging service to those who donate / users who have a 300+ post count for use once unit is received

if you dont understand what the service is capable of don't knock it

I also don't expect every john and jane doe to send me their phone just to get s-off thats ridiculous and also CLEARLY stated in the op....

it sounds like you read the title skimmed the paragraph and are now asking why i think this is a good idea?

1) To service high end users who want the freedom of their device and don't care about warranty as it is invasive

2) to offer a free alternative for xda users who are paying sites like mobiletechvideos 40-50$ for s-off service

3) to give something back

4) to offer brick repair to a site that has always been there to help me esp to those n00b users who just flash whatever and brick their unit

I also was a cell phone repair tech for 2x years and have quite extensive knowledge in this field

just wanted to share is all :D
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slimc84:
BOOM!!!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ewalk4866:
Hey Zarboz you can count me in for $20 this sounds like a great idea. :) Once you tell us where to send it I will send the money right away Thanks for all your hard work

Edit: OK Zarboz money sent

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] doakills:
Im excited to see this development, really am.. But Ifixit took the htc one apart and unfortuently it was a 1 time deal, the phone wont go back together again and got a 1/10 repair factor. So basically were im leaning this towards is we jtag our units figure out the code off the main processor try to find a solution to soff and not be able to tech unbrick your phone due to the fact the phone doesn't simply go back together? Just confused by this is all...

Well I shouldn't say its entirely impossible to put back together, just seems a little boggling to me.. So im curious to see photos of this said jtag process and assembly if its done...

Did you get the device or still need donation, I will love to part of this too
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Zarboz:
Jtag box has been ordered I still gotta get jigs and new soldering tips looks like

I recently ordered a "white card also known as a java card" it will s off any HTC phone tegra or Qualcomm it was freakin expensive though

So I'm hoping to use that for the users just wanting cid and s off and sim unlock as it's non invasive and jtag obviously is

Jtagging will be more for reviving bricks etc
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mikevillarroel:
Too much of tech stuff for me, anyways I just sent you a little something for the cause, keep it up
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jcwxguy:
I may need you to unbrick my phone

What's goin on with the unit
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jcwxguy:
its in QDL mode :crying:

Hello dear XDA-Community,

The idea of this thread was to serve as an un bricking thread eventually,

I am looking into a riffbox for jtag service, I am approaching xda to see if any users would be interested in helping me cover the cost of said riffbox

if you were to donate towards the cause in return you would receive free unbrick service and jtag service for all your devices as long as the riffbox supports the CPU architecture

If this is of no interested not a big deal i just thought i would give the community a chance to get involved rather than keeping all the cool toys at my house and not sharing

:D

This thread will be the hub for service requests. If you happen to need unbrick service, you will find this thread and us to help you.

I will post a log of all payments made from that money plus all Items received (e.g. the RIFF Box, the cables, Jigs, etc.)

I will also keep an online "work and ticket tracker" so that you can see live reports /pictures of the status of your repairs

now your like ok i didnt donate to help you buy this thingamabobber now i bricked my phone and i dont wanna pay some dude on ebay 60$ to fix it

cool find me post in the thread if your device is supported we can get it unbricked :D

Please remember i am one man and do have a child so im not planning to support 43000000x users but i dont think it would be bad to offer service to RC's RD's and senior members of xda for no cost of labor just get the unit here and ill jtag it up

RIFF Box - $155 + shipping

Updates / Facts / News:

Some things you might see around the thread

Hope this is gonna be very very educational for people too. Unbricking always is some sort of a mystery for many and if you send off your phone to some stranger on ebay, you usually don't get an idea about the "Hands On" and gettin' dirty bit of tearing down a phone and actually make it look nice and work properly again afterwards.

So, maybe we will even have some photos or videos and stuff and just give you an idea of how that all works...

Please ask your questions :)

and if your located in the USA and close to me for XDA active members I will always do what I can to help out as XDA has always helped me out

I am not trying to sell jtag service at all guys im saying if we can get me a riffbox ill give xda senior members RD's RC's RT's mods and members with over a 300 post count free jtag service

Are you still offering this? Guess I finally bricked my DNA. Maybe its toast. I shut it off last night with 10% battery, left it on the charger all night and now no LED and it won't trun on. I'm about to disconnect the motherboard to see if it might reset something. Anyone seen this? Did I fry the battery?
[HTC Droid DNA] .torrented:
Most likely have a bad battery charging the device wouldn't cause a brick

[General Questions and Answers] RebellionNY:
Hey, I just purchased my Samsung SD Card off of a 3rd party (Yes, I know) seller on Amazon. He surprisingly (/facepalm) had the cheapest available price. He also shipped from within the state I live in..

It didn't come in retail packaging... (/facepalm)

I haven't been able to test the speeds yet (DOH!)

But, I noticed the "64GB" lettering isn't silver on my SD card - It's grey just like all the other lettering..

And it says Made In Taiwan on the back instead of Made in Korea like I've seen on back of other cards/retail packaging.

I'm assuming I received a fake..

Some insight would be great before I start going for the sellers neck..

Thank you for offering up these services to xda members. The riffbox reminds me of a question I asked awhile back that went unanswered as far as I know. Is there virtualization software for android? It would be great for hacking as well as unbricking. If I was an awesome software engineer I would definitely look into making it.

Forgive me if there is something like this already, or the riffbox does just what I'm saying. Just an idea, sorry to semi-derail your thread.
