The news about the possible exploit being released is great.

As for a bounty, there must be some way to actually put money in a pot for the eventual bounty collector... If nobody collects the bounty after a predetermined amount of time, the money goes to an agreed on charity. And just for anybody looking to ever donate to charities on their own, www.charitynavigator.org is a great place to research charities. Documents what % of the money goes to the actual cause. Legally for a charity to be a charity it only has to give a somewhat small percentage of the proceeds. So research your charities before you give.

But back to my point. It seems to make a lot more sense for people to actually donate to a pot for the bounty than to just pledge to donate. The pot would obviously have to be in the care of somebody with a very high xda reputation. But in theory it could work. Now or in the future.

[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
I doubt current XDA rules would allow for such a "pot". The rules specifically prohibit "donations in advance". Historically, every time this exact scenario has been attempted in the past, it was shut down by administration. I agree that it would solve the issue of people not following through on their pledges, but I seriously doubt XDA administration would allow it given that it has not been acceptable in the past...

EDIT: HAHAHA! I just noticed that my post count is now exactly 1337!

See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

It makes me not want to post again for a bit :p
[Moto X General] Jersey846:
Ah Ok I wasn't aware. Well that's a bummer. Nobody seems to put their money where their mouth is with a pledge unfortunately.

Heck, if Dan himself released it, at least 10 bucks to him
[Moto X General] twinkyz1979:
Dan is a great person and I see every ones different points of view on this subject but It's his work and he can do with it what he wants. I would love for him to release it to the community. I have a Droid Ultra and would love to have my bootloader unlocked and be able to actually use my phone how I want to use it and make it look and feel more personalized like I have done in the past. It would also allow me to test things on it and not worry about bricking it which is probably what I miss the most at this point in time.

Although if i recall correctly what bounty he did receive from his other exploit he donated to charity anyway.

P.S.

No matter Dan's decision he should always be held in high regards in this community and others.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
IMO, that's a wonderful idea. It would be a win-win if a similar method could be used...and this too would solve the issues that I've discussed in great detail 2 pages back...

(Anyone who hasn't already read them, I suggest reading my 2 posts on page 16. They are long, but they are a great read.)

EDIT: I just realized that many probably don't know about "Sunshine". Basically, it's an unlock for HTC devices. You pay $25 and get "S-OFF" (the equivalent of bootloader-unlock). Keep in mind this is still much cheaper than the current "China Middleman" unlock method.

You can read more about it here: http://www.androidorigin.com/htc-one-m8-s-off-exploit-sunshine-25/ and here: http://www.androidbeat.com/2014/06/sunshine-brings-soff-htc-one-m8/
[Moto X General] easting:
To me, an unlock exploit is worth 45--same as I have been trying to pay the guy in China. I think that's reasonable, to have Motomaker design and dev edition capabilities.
[Moto X General] crashtheface:
I agree.

Also regarding the released document, as minimal as it is it does show that even the moto x has an exploit. It was only a matter of time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAmateur:
Ok so i recently tried to upgrade my nexus 4 to 4.4 paranoid android and when i went into CWM and flashed it it said error, so i cleared the cache and everything then i reflashed the previous version (like 4.2) i used to have and then flashed the gapps, but now everytime I hit reboot it reboots again and then goes to cwm again and i really have no idea to fix help. Help plz.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Urantia:
I was wondering....if technically we/I can changeout an icon or two in the OG ROM that came with my phone out of box. I am rooted with TW, and have SU and Rootchecker (that's how I know I have successful root).

Now with File Explorer, paid version, I should be able to go into the system, find the specific .png that I want changed out....and put the new one in. Escape out of FE and restart...and I should have the new icon, correct?

I don't have to add safestrap, find a ROM I like, change out the icon and then flash it, do I? I can simply do as I stated above right? Not like I need to sign anything before I reinsert into the currently ROM....right?

Or am I way off, lol?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adam_ky:
I have searched first no luck however maybe someone can help me out.

I currently have the Galaxy S3 i747 running cwm recovery (did the option to disable the stock recovery from reseting). Right now i am running on 10.2.1 cm. Firmware is i747ucuemjb

here is my question... i know that there is a newer baseband firmware out for kitkat.. in the near future when there is a stable non snapshot cm11 id like to move over to that.

Can my current jelly bean run on the newer firmware that came out with the kitkat update?

is there an easier way to update my firmware to this than going back to stock?

the cwm recovery is would stop that if that is the only route so what to do about that and get the stock recovery back?

if the newer firmware wouldn't effect me running jelly bean id like to update it however.. id rather not go all the way back to a stock device in order to achieve this.

I have samsung kies and odin on my laptop that i used to flash cwm and am familier with its use.

anyone point me on the right path here?

thanks

edit:sorry found what i needed. found it under general. this can be deleted as i cant seem to find option

thank you
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxim512:
I was playing with dual recovery and thought I would try to flash CM11 (bad idea in hindsight locked bootloader). Long story short I have a SGP561 32GB Verizon model that will not boot. What it will do is boot stock recovery (worthless as far as I can see), go into fastboot the blue LED turns on not the screen. If I hit the power button it gives a weak vibrate and does nothing else. If I connect it to my PC the LED blinks and it vibrates a lot (I am guessing some kind of unauthorized software detected warning I seen something similar on my Galaxy S 3 when I unlocked it but Odin is easy). I know how to fix it the problem is all of the recovery packages I have found are for others models. If anyone could post a system dump for the SGP561 it would be very helpful. Or point me to a fastboot flashable recovery with instructions on how to do so. If you need more info just ask. Thanks.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vercion3:
I have the old Nexus 7 and it's been very unresponsive lately.

The device is not responsive and when I do manage to unlock it, seems like the device has some sort of mine on its own and is randomly opening apps or typing in the Google search bar.

Figuring that there's probably malware or virus, I downloaded Malwarebytes and Avast to scan the device.

I found several malware after scanning so i deleted those.

However, issue still persist. So i did a factory reset.

Setting up the device was nothing out of the norm. (Other than feeling a bit lag)

After setting up and updating the apps, the device feels new (again there's some lag); Couple minutes later, the device started acting up again.

I thought the problem might be in them ROM or bootloader so i rooted and flashed PA latest ROM and GApps

But things did not go as I expected and I can't find any other solutions online.

Are there any methods to fix this problem? :(

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

P.S. this problem occurs around 90% of the times when I unlock the device..

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
How? Did you actually wipe everything with Fastboot and reflash stock firmware?

Factory reset is not a "full wipe". :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vercion3:
Uh i'll try again. Do you have a post/link where i can follow on how to do it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Right here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1907796

Before flashing the new files....run

Fastboot erase system

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot erase userdata

All apps and data will be gone. So if you're rooted you can backup with titanium backup. And restore after flashing.

Personally when flashing stock, I like to backup my important stuff from internal SD onto my PC too. Just for safe keeping. ?

I have that one and it work like a dream with my computer but on the tytn i dont get so clear sound, i have conected i to my sonyericsson k800 and it work really nice with good sound,

i guess when the tytn get uppgraded rom it will work wery good there to.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] lumi74:
I also have the Jabra BT-320s and used it with my TyTN (Hermes). When using it as hands-free headset, my problem was that the volume settings of the phone switched each time I connected/disconnected the headset between sounds on / sounds off. Sometimes it even switched to sound on but with volume set to lowest level (=off). I can also confirm the problems when listening to music - the connection breaks up sometimes.

Did anyone experience similar problems? I don´t have those problems with my Jabra BT205.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] ix666v2:
I have found my Jabara BT-320s to be problematic so far on my Cingular 8525 aka Hermes.

The stereo and remote controls work ok, but sound quality is fair at best.

But I cannot get the handsfree to work. Seems to work, the stereo cuts out but the caller cannot hear me or I them.

Got the Moto S805 (DJ Headphones) and they work great.

I hope it is just a rom fix for the Hermes to get the Jabara to work but I think it is a Jabara problem and I don't think the BT-320s is upgradeable.

Good Luck,

D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] goneill:
I bought a Jabra bt320s to mate with a HTC P3600 (Trinity). I struggled to connect it to my PC (via Jabra a320s USB dongle) and with the Trinity.

I had a few problems with the bt320s connecting to the Trinity:

1. Mono (not stereo) sound using WMP. Found this registry hack in other threads ---> Set HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/[UseJointStereo = 0] (was 1 decimal).

2. WMP stalls briefly from time to time. From the same thread:

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/[BitPool = 45] (was 30decimal).

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/[MaxSupportedBitPool = 45] (was 30 decimal).

3. When handsfree to phone, the bt320s cuts out as ix666v2 describes.

I tried a hard reset of Trinity in case there was a conflict with other software. This didn't help. I then found an undocumented way to reset the bt320s and that fixed it. It is now working well for all functions. :) :) :) To reset the bt320s:

a. Turn off the bt320s.

b. Connect and disconnect the bt320s to its charger 3 times leaving it on the charger for 3-5 seconds each time.

c. Delete the bt320s partnership on the PDA

d. Pair the bt320s to the PDA again.

Big thanks to all others on this forum and other forums for their help.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whisky_:
Hello,

I bought my Nexus 5 on the 11th of December 2013 and it had been working flawlessly ever since. Since last week, I started noticing the occasional signal drop and I'd be out of cell reception but would usually be back up within no time. However, yesterday, out of the blue I'm travelling on the highway and my signal strength disappears never to come back again. I've tried the following:

- Restore old backup (including EFS)

- Went back to stock from PA

- Upgraded to the latest radio

- Took back cover off to see if anything was wrong but found nothing.

- Tried another SIM card

Nothing worked. My SIM card works fine in another phone. Everything else such as WiFi and Bluetooth works flawlessly but I just don't get any reception.

This is very disappointing and I have my fingers crossed hoping someone can help me with this since I didn't plan on getting a new device for at least another year especially after paying $520 USD for my phone here in my country.

Thank you for looking.

Just saying that unless many have the issue with the phone or radio, then its an issue.....if not, it isnt .

So in this case, it leaves hardware or carrier....assuming a stock flash didn't help.

If flashing another radio helps the OP...awesome!! But the new radio does work fine for the mass majority.

Hope it does work for him tho! :)

I don't know the exact price but it's cheap. That's for sure. If it's indeed the flex cable which has gone bad and not the display, fixing it at the local LG center would be sensible.

My N5 was bought in the US, but i am now in other country, therefore local LG service can not help in warranty :(

Anyway, I bring to a LG specialist in my city, and find out that this is similar problem with LG G2, he tests the circuit near display cable flex, exactly correct. Now my N5 is back to normal. Cost is ~$20, cheaper than sending back to the State, of course, no more warranty :)
