I told him about the bounty. He said that it wasn't an exploit. it was the real codes from Motorola. I'm guessing that the IMEI number is used in a formula to generate the unlock codes. If he don't come back I hope someone figure it out.
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
There are potentially more then 1 seller. Just have to go with what you trust. As of now I only think a handful are actually unlocked.
[Droid Ultra General] bird3051:
Agreed.
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
so like the unlock services this one will remain too.

if u pay u will get the unlocked bootloader,if dont nothing.

hope someone leaks the method for free like in old good times

if someone wants to donate good, if not not.

btw the method is ilegal so u sell a service that is not yours ur mot*r f*cker (for selling guys)
[Droid Ultra General] Dragon31337:
Just talked to the guy who I bought codes from, he is still in the business, so use the capacity while it is there. He has just went to get some rest, so do not expect codes now. In order to get code faster - talk to him on taobao directly with built-in messenger. Click to the drop next to his nickname when it is blue (means he is online). That is the fastest way to get your code after payment.

P.S. do not forget to confirm that you received the lot when you get unlocked. He'll get money after that. Otherwise he has to wait for a long timeout.

Droid mini unlocked
[Droid Ultra General] rds217:
I went through the eBay middleman. Just got my code, unlocked bootloader and rooted in less than 10 min. Someone out there is making way more money than the bounty can offer without going through the work of finding an exploit.

If anyone that took the time to read the thread has any questions about the process/cost/etc., feel free to PM me and I'll try to help
[Droid Ultra General] thetoolbox:
It seems to me, having followed this general BL unlock discussion for the past 5 or so days that while more and more folks are succeeding in doing this, clear direction on actually what to do has become more convoluted and scarce. That said, I definitely understand the desire to protect the source(s) and not to take any action which would jeopardize this method.

In defense of the folks (like me) who truly have taken the time to try to understand the process and who have carefully reviewed multiple threads on multiple different XDA forums, it's really confusing. And there are numerous posts which indicate that sending a PM is the "preferred" way to ask for help.

I can imagine that there may be some who PM and are just looking for a shortcut or to find someone else who will do the bulk of the work. But let me speak up for those who are just hoping for some level of guidance from someone (anyone) who has tried and succeeded with the BL unlock transaction and is willing to help someone who is not lazy or careless, just unsure what to do.
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
I haven't received my unlock code yet but I made it through the website fairly easily. If anyone needs help let me know and I'll do what I can. I will say, if you use chrome and then use your cell phone and take pictures with the Google translate app for the stuff chrome doesn't translate... It makes it a lot easier

the bootloader is not unlock untill u pay to unlock it

so this is no xda,this is bussines and i don t want to make some cinese guy rich that steal and make ilegal things

[Droid Ultra General] teerout:
if i was a clever lad, get the unlocker or whatever it is the cinese guy is doing, a little reverse engineering, couldnt take much>? but alas i am not clever nor a dev. is it stealing someone else work if you pay for it?

[Droid Ultra General] CarnivoreMatt:
Well.... There goes this source.. Mainstream media any minute. It was nice while it lasted!

The seller has already posted a don't buy message :(

This was predicted by many here.

How long did it take you to get your code going through the eBay middleman? I just paid this morning and wanted to get an idea of when I might expect it.
[Droid Ultra General] runner1717:
Woo Hoo! Unlocked Maxx!

I ordered off the Chinese site and followed up with an email to the seller with my phone ID. I never did get an email back from him and was starting to wonder what was up. I went back to the Chinese site, logged in and went back to the seller's page. I clicked on the little blue bubble for chat and low and behold my phone ID and unlock code were there. Worked perfectly!

Any way to get my google animation back instead of that stupid Unlocked warning?

There are plenty of other boot logos out there that you can flash but I haven't seen one that is exactly like the stock moto/google one.
[Droid Ultra General] rds217:
I paid for it via google wallet last night around 11:30PM EDT, and got the unlock code today before 2PM EDT.
[Droid Ultra General] kappadappa:
It works

Worked for me! Purchased Ebay agent on the 11th, then on the 12th I paid them through Google Wallet for the purchase. Got my code today, the 13th around 1:30pm EST.

[Droid Ultra General] Soopafly Incredible:
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I didn't see it brought up anywhere. Once we have the code to unlock the bootloader, can it ever be locked again?

Thanks.
[Droid Ultra General] Bam_thwok:
So the unlock codes are either;

1) Being generated through legitimate means but surreptitiously by an insider in the supply chain for Motorola

2) Being generated by illegitimate means by an outsider who has cracked their algorithm

Right?

Is anyone keeping track of, collecting, or paying attention the the IMEI codes that go out versus the unlock codes that come in? If it's #2, It might be dirt simple for anyone with enough examples to look at to figure out the algorithm, and then we can generate unlock codes at will without sending $45 to China or a middleman on Ebay and hoping that the dude on the other end hasn't decided to call it quits yet.
[Droid Ultra General] danger2u:
could u pm me with some info?

I got to the sellers site. After translating to english what I would expect to be a buy "button" says appointment.

The other guy on this site is not selling. It says do not buy, and there is no "button" to purchase code.
[Droid Ultra General] asuhoops8628:
They removed it from being sold... the button is translated to something like "this baby is not here" instead of "sold out"
[Droid Ultra General] sjy426:
:(

ED: I noticed he has some words on his page that I take to be towards others that are "selling" codes at lower price. He seems to say they are not legit...
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
Would greatly appreciate info on how to do this by eBay please.

Thank you
[Droid Ultra General] kcipopnevets:
This is really weird... I bought through taobao but I don't know when to expect anything since I received no confirmation whatsoever.
[Droid Ultra General] contesauce:
Kcipopnevents when you paid did it say that it was successful? If it said it was the message the seller on taobao, or use Skype or email. I've found fastest to be through the site messaging, keep in mind the time difference in China and I've also read others say that he hasn't responded immediately so it seems to differ.
[Droid Ultra General] ss12108:
EBay seller confirmed my order has been placed today and I'd have the code within 48 hours. Crossing my fingers!
[Droid Ultra General] runner1717:
For those that ordered via the Chinese site you should find your order under your account and click on the little chat symbol. Sometimes it's blue, sometimes it's not. Click on it and you may find your unlock code there. I did.

I ordered 3 days ago and confirmed my MEID via gmail. To date I have never received a return email but my unlock code was listed under this chat symbol.

I think that's the only place you'll find it. It looks like the seller is taking a couple of days off so new orders won't be available until next week.

Hope this helps!

[Droid Ultra General] theycallmerayj:
Can someone send me the link to the site, and/or the ebayer? Thanks.

Excellent, I think it's important we show the success stories on here for those that attempt the Chinese site. I am trying to put together a quick tutorial on the site for those who want to give it a shot. I'm a bit apprehensive though, not wanting to flood the source with requests and dry it up.

[Droid Ultra General] gchglobal:
I am in the same situation. I just chatted with him and he said because his Alipay is frozen he can't purchase the unlock codes and when it is cleared up he will. I'm not sure why other people are getting them if that is the case.
[Droid Ultra General] rmjones2006:
I Don't understand why he won't respond to me though.
[Droid Ultra General] Franzie3:
This is correct. What I did after I was unlocked flash twrp through adb fastboot commands. Then I restarted the boot loader and then booted into recovery. After that I restarted the system from twrp which asks to install SuperSU for root. Accept it and on boot you will need to open the installed app SuperSU and it will ask to have the binary updated. Just follow the prompts and everything gets taken care of.

I want to share the screen from my unrooted and updated HDX to Windows 7. Going about my due diligence, I have tried several apps to handle this, including Teamviewer, which works on my rooted Samsung phone, and Fuze, which I haven't verified works in other Android versions. Obviously Amazon themselves is capable of this for support reasons, so I know it's doable. Via wifi or USB is acceptable.

Thanks in advance!

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] evilgrin98:
Droid@Screen for HDX

I found Droid@Screen after I made this post yesterday but am having some trouble setting it up. I didn't know in the end whether the issue might have been an Android version issue. If you can confirm that Droid@Screen works for your HDX, would you mind also PMing me and helping me walk through the setup? These were the steps I took:

Requirements:

Java v7 u51

Droid@Screen v1.0.2

1) Download and install SDK manager including Platform Tools.

2) Create an (user) environment variable ANDROID_HOME pointing to the "installation directory". (I used "C:\Users\[redact]\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\", which contains the "platform-tools" subfolder.)

3) Add "C:\Users\[redact]\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools\" and "C:\Users\[redact]\Downloads\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\tools\" to the system variable Path, separated by semicolons.

4) Enable USB debugging enabled on the HDX and on a Samsung i777 running OmniROM (Android 4.4.2).

Droid@Screen does NOT prompt me for the location of adb.exe and reports success in restarting ADB, which makes me think I set the user enrivonment variable ANDROID_HOME correctly. But neither the HDX nor the i777 show up in the device list for Droid@Screen.

After this frustration, I also turned to ASM with similar results (no devices listed).

In case it matters, I ran both programs by double-clicking their .jar through Windows Explorer rather than via command prompt.

Sorry to be a scrubby noob. :( I'm trying my best to do this without help, but I just can't seem to swing it.

KFHDX drivers

Thanks! I went through slightly more roundabout steps that got me to the same place, which steps can be found here:

Setting Up Your Development Environment

Setting Up Your Kindle Fire Tablet for Testing

Both Droid@Screen and ASM are working for me now, albeit with a pretty awful delay (and no control over the device, which I would appreciate but understand is out of the question for now). It's possible that all that was needed was the Fire ADB driver, but I now have the Java Development Kit and a few other things to boot. Maybe it will enable me to dirty my hands in the root-testing grounds, which will probably be my next tackle, pending GSLEON getting some more time on his hands. :)

Thanks, all, again. Very helpful!

Hi, guys!

Has anyone tried DSLR Dashboard with Sony Xperia L?

I tried some Nikon cameras but unsuccesfully. I have single cable OTG adaptor and Y cable too. I didnt try additional power supplying yet, but I doubt it will be useful. I think that camera has its own power.

I tried some cameras on DSLR Dashboard with HTC One using same cable and worked perfectly. I read many forums but didnt found something useful. I thing that additional supplying is usable only for disk drives without its own supply.

Okay, so this is the status quo of my friends phone: HTC One M7 UL, S-On, HBOOT-1.55, TAMPERED, UNLOCKED

There is no OS instelled, I can only boot into recovery (while booting from the bootloader it starts Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.0.1, when I boot from the phone being off it opens ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.6) or bootloader. The internal storage is wiped. My PC is not able to install the device driver software, so I cannot put any files on the phone via USB cable. Also it appears to not be rooted, as the recoveries ask me if I want to install SuperSU. But if I accept this, nothing changes and the next time I get the same question.

All in all almost erverything on this phone is deleted and I have no idea how to put a ROM back on it to flash. Can anyone help me fix this?
