He is reffering to the post about djrbliss's presentation in august at a security conference where he is going to unlock a device. I wouldn't say it is for the S5 as ive heard rumors that it requires root to begin with. I do not think you cans safely say it will work for the S5. Again, dont assume anything, just be patient.

At this point it is time to sell this phone. I will buy phones that are not carrier locked and easily rootable from now on. I can't stand the way this site has become, it is either about money or stature over other people. I have made many Mods for people and some downloaded a decent amount, I received one donation in 12 months, I never even asked for it, all I wanted was a thanks.

I am no where near smart as this guy is with computers, but this is what he spends his time doing. Come over to my house, I'll run circles around him on cars and programming CNC machines and if he wanted to learn I would show him, not dangle wrenches in his face and say I can do it. We all have our specialities at what we do and to praise this guy like you are best friends saying you love his rapping just to see if he sends you the root secretly is a joke..dude needs to stick to hacking. I am impressed he did it, but could care less the way he showed it, very tacky and childish.

Now I'm probably going to get a few wtfs, but I'm not sorry I feel this way. People like [MENTION=2376614]jcase[/MENTION], I respect, he is a DEV that shows respect for you if you do to him, he also makes sure the correct DEV gets credit every time. There are other great DEVs here, [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] is another awesome one. He actually answered a question on G+ I had for him and he was the nicest guy, but DEVs like this that dangle stuff or others that treat the average user like they are retarded for a simple answer get zero praise or respect from me.

This is a forum, not life, when you log off, you are not controlled by anything on here or what is said should not bother you. We all have our opinions and to keep them to ourselves is sometimes best, sometimes people need a reality check.

Thanks for the rant, I know I'll get a few PMs about how I am an ahole.

Have a good day,

George Hotz is legit. First to jail break the iPhone, hacked the PS3 (look it up OUTSIDE of wiki, he's there), Sony settled out of court with him. All the hacks he has done have revolved around the Linux kernel.

The exploit he used for the S5 has been described as the biggest security flaw with the Linux kernel ever.

Again, he's legit, 99.9% positive he's done it and he didn't write his own wiki.

Do your own research, it's there...

I flipped my 900A for a 900T, it was a risk (So may GOOD counterfeit GS5s out there, be careful- do research to know what to look for). I was able to in a single afternoon with a lot of driving flip my 900A for $500 and then I negotiated a fellow selling a 900T down to $500 and then used Cellunlocker.net to sim unlock for $30.

Over all the four hours work I put in a few weeks ago have paid my back the $30 i had to spend to sim unlock the 900T to be able to reap the unlocked boot loader. It's fun to watch these threads and realize i took myself out of them by an afternoons work. Sell your GS5 and enjoy a 900T, there is more than one way to attain root. Revert to some good old fashioned driving and wheeling, dealing. (here's to hoping you're not on VZW)

As much as I'd like to keep this going, I must bring it to an end. I'm sorry Dennis, that picture is photoshopped to hell and back. The joys of playing pranks on co-workers haha.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SamuriHL:
What people should be focusing on is how difficult getting root exploits on consumer devices has become and how it now requires collaboration. Pinkie Pie discovered the exploit. JCase was able to take that and make a working exploit for the Moto X and Droid Ultra/Maxx/Mini. GeoHot has demonstrated that the exploit can be done on the S5. Whether he chooses to release it or not, or how good he is, is irrelevant. It can be done. That's the important part. I believe I saw a thread where the Sony devices are using this exploit, now, as well (maybe I misunderstood and it's using a different one, I'm not 100% sure). The point is there are a lot of people that work on these things. They're all very smart, and few of them are doing it solo. (I'm not saying no one is doing it solo....that statement wasn't meant to offend anyone who has mad skills). What I'm saying is that achieving root now is becoming a complex endeavor that requires that the community come together to find working solutions rather than the divisive attitudes I see prevalent in this thread. This post isn't meant to offend or accuse. It's meant to bring everyone together towards a common goal of achieving root. Please don't forget the end goal here. Thanks for listening and I apologize if this is off topic. I felt it was needed to give perspective on what's being attempted.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jcase:
Build date does not signify patch status
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] briantacker:
I'm figuring it's safe to assume a kernel built since the vuln was discovered will have patched. Or am I assuming too high of Samsung?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jcase:
I'm sure they will be one of the first to deploy patches, I'm just not sure where you are getting the idea that kernels post June 3rd are automatically patched. Every official Android firmware out right now is most likely vulnerable.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] briantacker:
I'm aware that it's highly improbable for it to be patched already. But considering it's (what I've read to be) such a big vulnerability, it will be patched ASAP. Plus I'm mainly going by what geo said.

[Fuhu Nabi 2] jelabarre59:
I have a Nabi2 that I am trying to root (it has the latest 2.3 ROM, Android 4.1.1), and of all the tutorials I have found (Linux or MSWin), none of them work. The one that has gotten part way through is http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2016463, but once I get to the "adb reboot recovery" command, nothing ever happens, and I have to power-cycle the tablet, and I am right back to absolutely NOTHING having been changed.

I tried the MSWin installs (such as NabiLab), but it seems that ADB is incompatible with VirtualBox, or at least can't manage to KEEP a connection active to the device (even though I set the Nabi as a permanent USB device in the Win7 or Win8.1 VM images).

I would *prefer* to post a message to the appropriate discussions/threads, but apparently XDA won't allow that.

I bought this for my daughter's birthday, and within a month it was already unusable becayse the anemic internal space filled up. So this tablet sits unused, and she ends up using my wife's modded Nook Tablet (CM10.2). My daughter had been using *my* NT (CM11) until it quit working.

I really think it's time to make a road trip to Fuhu's HQ, and shove this p.o.s. sideways up an uncomfortable place on the company CEO :mad: Especially after being out of work for 6 months, and I can't be throwing money away on substandard and unusable products.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] jelabarre59:
I've been continuing my attempts to root this thing, and I have an idea; as *all* of the root tips/tutorials are from 2013 and earlier, I think this tablet may be more equivalent to a "Disney and/or Nickelodeon" model. Once I bought it in January 2014 (setting it up for my daughter's birthday in early February) it installed the massive 2-part OTA upgrade that added Gapps and JB (Android 4.1.1). From what I've read, that seems to require a thorough reorganization of the partitions on the Nabi2, so perhaps all those old methods have to be tossed out (or at least marked as for older, non-updated units) and a new set of directions made for the updated units (version "2.3-release-keys"). Either that or determine if the Disney directions are the same for the updated units.

I did see on NabTabHacks ( h t t p : / / nabtabhacks . com /wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Nabipart1.png ) the difference in partitioning between the original Nabi2 and the Disney model; if someone could instruct me on how to gather that information on our unit (without having to have rooted the unit, obviously, since root isn't working) I'd see if we are dealing with a Disney-fied configuration.

You phone must be previously NB1 and you need to root so you downgrade to MK2, root, and instal safestrap.

Your post appears that you finished steps 1 through 7..

Your bootloader is in NB1 but your modem and kernel is in MK2 so your wifi would not work.

To fix it , either you go back to NB1 or use the bypass exploit.

if you had made a NB1 backup before you odin you can restore that back up. That is for the step 8.

If you want to go back to NB1 use the file in the post #2 and follow the instruction on post #3.

if you want to stay in MK2 you can use adb (android debug bridge) to fix the wifi problem . That is for the step 9.

Search adb on the net and get the adb files. go to command mode with admin, start the adb connect your phone and check your device is listed in the adb.

Then enter the codes that mentioned on the page step by step.

If you had never use the adb before I would go back to NB1.

Motorola Device Manager pops up and recognizes there's a phone plugged in, but I can't change the mode on the phone to mass storage device or whatever it needs to be on to show up as a device in Windows. I've read the only way to get around a passcode in Android is to do a factory reset, but I can't do that since it'll wipe the internal data, and in this case I need it. I've plugged the phone into my TV with a mini HDMI cable and I tried plugging a USB keyboard into the phone with a mini USB adapter, but it doesn't recognize.

Hey everyone!

Most of you here know about the "Sharing the Invitation" List here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2731057

But if you've been following the thread, it's been falling apart, mainly due to impatient beggars and trolls who have nothing better to do with their lives. It's a good idea, but when put to practice under inopportune circumstances, it falls apart. Kinda like communism.

It got me thinking. What if we made an XDA-Exclusive list here? I have a feeling that people here are much more civil and respectful than over on the OnePlus forums. The One is supposed to be a developer-oriented phone, and XDA is the heart of the developer community. I want to get this phone in the hands of the great developers here ASAP. As much as I love custom ROMs and CyanogenMod in its glory days, Cyanogen Inc. has become shady and untrustworthy. Not to mention, people here are probably much more likely to spread invites and respectfully wait for more to be shared and released, instead of begging repeatedly.

Just a little idea. I feel like this community here has much to offer when it comes to this phone.

EDIT: This thread is now in much more capable hands than mine. Please keep cooperating, and with this recent "Storm of Invites" hopefully one of us will get our hands on one. Thank your for your participation!
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
Yes I do like idea. The one plus forms are chaos with many drive by invite beggars and nay sayers, and as such, the invite list reflects that, having been filled with trolls and people just looking to service themselves. The XDA forum members are much more civilized, and looking to participate with the community. If you can organize a way to shave invites, when they can be shared, then I would be onboard.
[ONE General] treChoy:
I would open up a public spreadsheet on Google Docs, but that's what the other invite list thread did, and trolls repeatedly attacked, erasing names and profaning the spreadsheet. I'd want a Moderator, a Recognized Developer, or someone powerful like that to control the invite list, and cause immediate punishment and consequences to those who try to profane or beg. [MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] seems to be a driving force here in the OnePlus One community over here at XDA, maybe he could help us.
[ONE General] piratesscareme:
