It's almost safe to assume we are all testers, let's keep this thread open for related topics. They will post when it's readily available our variant may take a little bit longer just until it ships

I can pay 15$..

but I have something to say!

I've bought my brand new note 5 about 1 month ago for 500$..

it's 920C.. and from UAE (it's on sale!) and here is the link

p.s. 1979 AED = 540 $ (9 items in stock)

-EDIT-

I've noticed that there is a mobile on its way to him.. can't wait to get start testing :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] jedsada18:
waiting for this ??
[Galaxy Note5 General] JonathanRAZ:
[MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] whats the status i guess you havnt received nothing
[Galaxy Note5 General] RaymanFX:
Nope, [MENTION=1113488]JUSMEJOSE[/MENTION] didn't get back to me yet (I didn't receive any email or tracking number).
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ducter:
I am thinking we should go on and gather the funds, buy the appropriate device and get this ball rolling. It's up to you guys tho, is a community effort and should be addressed as such.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pbedard:
Rils dont work on the 910 c d l w8
[Galaxy Note5 General] suzook:
Agreed. Seems like the donator of free phone disappeared. Im in for $20 more. Lets get this guy a phone already!
[Galaxy Note5 General] GOIGIG:
I'm going to wait a couple days he did say he was going to ship it maybe he's busy or something I'll be in for 50 as previously stated
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ducter:
That's fine, life does have its way of getting in the ways at times for sure lol.
[Galaxy Note5 General] JonathanRAZ:
We should give him this week?? Until monday? What you guys think if on monday theres no answer we donate same monday or tuesday to rayman or the guy that will buy and ship the new phone
[Galaxy Note5 General] GOIGIG:
Monday seems about right, I am not apposed
[Galaxy Note5 General] Nv1dia:
Im in for $10, forget waiting until monday though, lets get this man a phone sooner rather than later.
[Galaxy Note5 General] GOIGIG:
I understand the concern but a gentleman offered him one, I can't said for sure that the dev doesn't want Two note 5s. I'm just saying what's he going to do with them, if they are the same variant. Maybe we should start the fundraiser again. We will likely have enough by Monday anyway
[Galaxy Note5 General] Jammol:
I agree that we should give him another week. Reasons being that life gets in the way sometimes and the time for the shipping. I know I'm Soper busy with school and to the point where I barely get to see my wife or even see my phone. This is the first time today in touching this time. Weird.

Give him until Monday. Our eagerness shouldn't trump someone else's generosity. [emoji4] [emoji111]
[Galaxy Note5 General] eazycash:
I'm on for $20! Im subscribed now to see when you guys start to open the donate option and how the donation will be done.
[Galaxy Note5 General] apd:
I'll add $30 to the fund. When do we start!!!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] pbedard:
They out the project on hold til android m drops
[Galaxy Note5 General] GOIGIG:
Lol for the note 5, NEVER. Honestly that's Q1-Q2 2016 for better support. Let's hope Samsung gets us Marshmallow fast lol in the mean time, I guess we can all get our donations in order. I am feeling patient this week, I've been really sick so I haven't had a chance to meet up with that gentleman but I'll see what I can do about getting that note 5. Don't stop any donation process or anything but it's an option. I generally get really good deals on phones so if I find anything if you guys are okay with me sending it to someone for compensation I promise I won't make a penny. As I stated before I get my note fives for about 200 to $250. They are just few and far between
[Galaxy Note5 General] suzook:
WHY???
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ducter:
We have enough pledged to purchase the phone and cover shipping, if/when [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] gives the go ahead we will proceed. I understand waiting to hear from [MENTION=1113488]JUSMEJOSE[/MENTION] about the donated device and that life gets complicated, busy at times but just stating we have enough.

If we go the route of me purchasing the phone, I will make the info public, amount donated, amount spent to purchase and ship via screenshots with private info marked out. Anything left over will be donated to a charity of everyone's agreement if thats cool.
[Galaxy Note5 General] GOIGIG:
I'm starting to agree I just got a kick in the face from life and I'm all the sudden ready for this to happen. Let me know when we make a decision I am fine with that.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ducter:
Sorry about the kick in the face and hope it's something you will come out of stronger and a better person for it. Not trying to bring religion or God into a place that all may not agree, but I will say this, people often say God will not give you more than you can handle, I say that's a lie. He gives us so much at times that we are forced to turn to him, then it's not too much. Anyways, hope whatever it is turns out ok for you.
[Galaxy Note5 General] RaymanFX:
I've been monitoring this thread for the last few days, but didn't chime in because I had hopes that Jusmejose would somehow get back to me. Unfortunately I didn't receive any mail or PM or any kind of message of him until today.

I understand that life can keep you busy with unexpected situations, however, I think you'll always have that one minute to send an email, stating what the current progress is on the device. Whatever reasons he has not to respond, I don't blame him. He generously offered to donate his own device, and that alone I'm thankful for.

Regarding your offer of shipping a device to me which you're going to buy with the pleaded money, I'll let you guys make the final decision. If the device is underway and reaching my doorstep at some point, I'll get my hands on it and see what I can do.

Please bear in mind this is your money. I'll say this one last time just to sort out any possible confusion: You're not buying anything. I'll try my best, and if the device is unlockable and allows me to flash the partitions, that should get us somewhere at least.

The screenshot posted some pages back from [MENTION=2792898]pbedard[/MENTION] looks promising already, so I have high hopes I can concentrate on bringing up RIL and other basic functions relatively quick.

I'd appreciate if whoever worked on that AOSP build shown in the screenshot would share their sources though, so I don't have to reinvent the wheel.

I'm going to start from scratch if I absolutely have to (using my work on the Note 4 as a base, which I believe whoever build that ROM did as well), but I'd like to collaborate where possible.

TL;DR It's up to you guys. If you want to ship it, one of you should buy the device and PM me or email me and I'll happily provide further information on the shipping requirements.

One thing to keep in mind though is the possibility of me being forced to pay some import fees, so if there's a small amount of money left after buying the device, I'd appreciate if we could consider splitting the bill there (the exact amount should be decided upon later when I get the details).

Last but not least; the optimal variant would probably be the N920C, that one has all the fancy LTE bands for Germany (especially band 20). If that's not possible for whatever reason, the N920I or N920T should work as well, although I generally dislike branded devices.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ducter:
Right now on swappa they have 3, at prices we can do. I am fine with the extra, if any going to you. Chime in guys, we ready?

Edit- they are the c variant.

I still plan on donating it might be after Tuesday my direct deposit is having issues. I hope I'm not the last one. 50 from me is still accurate
[Galaxy Note5 General] apd:
My 30 will come tomorrow
[Galaxy Note5 General] GOIGIG:
I greatly appreciate you giving me the kind words, I'm starting to understand this more and more with each stressful day. One day soon maybe I'll be on the other side trying to get a device to run AOSP. I'm so passionate about learning but time has been rough. I'll see if I can't get a loan from my roommate for a day. I'm obviously good for the money. I'll keep you posted on anything
[Galaxy Note5 General] JonathanRAZ:
Hey guys i cant donate for various reasons personal issues i had let know rayman via his hangs that i didnt know if i could and as of now right now i have 0 dollars not working have many situations going on
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ducter:
Not a problem, thanks for letting us know. Wouldn't want anyone to contribute out of obligation, it's not worth it at that point.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kevingokki:
When ever development starts, I hope N9208 will be in the plans. Should the developer require someone who has N9208 to test or provide any file, I would gladly volunteer :)

I am so sorry for the delay I promise I was going to pay today but I guess its my bad I typed in my account number wrong in my direct deposit form at work they have to wait for the money to be refunded so they can pay me. I am so unbelievably sorry count me in on Friday
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ducter:
No reason to be sorry, it is what it is. Not referencing you with this, but this is the downside of doing these fund raiser threads, people offer in good faith but it doesn't always work out.

I'll be donating later today. I'll edit this post once I've done that.

Edit: Confirmation 4X867588V02756158. I donated $30.03 CAD which should have translated to 20 USD. Whether CM does happen on this device or not I can't wait to see further development and the learning opportunity that can go with it. I hope this takes off and at the very least some fun comes out of it.

Cheers
[Galaxy Note5 General] jaxenroth:
I'm pledging $10 US dollars, but in my opinion, the device should be purchased from Swappa.com. Why would a development device be brand new? I've been buying and selling in Swappa for over 2 years and I can tell you now the price of the tmo note 5 (Canadian note 5 cousin) is under 500 USD and also the 920c is also under 500 USD. Plus the beauty of Swappa is the option to negotiate price. We could easily get this device for under 450 USD and or trade a device for the note 5 and add some cash. Just my opinion. But I'm in.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ducter:
That was my intent, purchase from swappa. Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ducter:
Several people have sent in the amounts they pledged, if you pledged, and are able to please send in. I don't want to end up trying to refund people's donations, let's get the money together, buy the device and get this rolling please. Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixering:
Hi guys, I've tried tonnes of ways of installing Google Play Services and Google Play on my phone but every time I just get the "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped" message when trying to use Google Play.

So, I'm using a Motorola Moto G x1039 LTE, running Cyanogenmod 13.0 nightly (Android 6.0.1) that I just updated today from CM12, so my phone has been factory reset. I've installed several versions of G.P.S. and G.P. but I get the same message every time. I'm currently sideloading the apks from my computer. Everything else about the phone seems to work fine. I've tried restarting the phone, clearing the caches, enabling app permissions etc. but nothing seems to work.

Any clues?

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkim3:
Hello!

I had my phone MB replaced during service and before that I got a full TWRP backup, including system and TA.

After I got it back (new MB) i rooted it and restored the full TWRP backup, without thinking too much.. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately the phone now is hard bricked, only the red light will blink when connected to PC but that's about it. No flashmode or fastboot.

The question is if I can do anything to salvage this phone.. I only have a full TWRP backup (system and TA taken before the MB swap), but I don't know if this can help. Can I try to use S1tool for this, or there is no chance?

any suggestion is welcome, thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkim3:
correction..

Actually, i did get a full twrp backup before restoring that old backup that crashed the phone. but it is on the phones internal memory, and i have no access anymore.

Assuming that i could get basic adb access to pull that backup out and get a ta.img out of it, or to somehow directly restore the full twrp backup - then it could work by using the s1tool method.

but i dont know if this basic access is possible.. any thoughts? i don't want to disassemble the back if it is hopeless in the first place..
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revontheus:
If the phone can't be detected by ADB Access and all other attempts have failed most likely its a hard brick.

There's a great guide on how to recover from problems like such though I cannot guarantee it would work, but its better to try. Click Here

A last resort option would be to send it to Sony
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkim3:
thanks but it is a hard brick in any case, cause i restored a wrong ta (imei, etc). I was hoping to be able to wipe the ta by unlocking the bootloader, via s1tool, but i am not sure this can wipe the ta to the extent that i can reboot the phone or use adb with it. anyone knows?

if i could manage to use adb with it i could pull out the correct ta from the twrp backup in my internal memory and use that to revive the phone, as others have done.. but it seems like a long shot.

also if anyone has any info on where the test point is for this device..

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfarukh:
Dear friends, I have a non-branded china 7 inch tablet phone, dual sim, with MTK 6582 chipset, 8 GB ram, 1 GB rom. It had 1 GB phone memory and 5 GB internal storage. I tried to put new EBR files by SP-Flash tool to make the partitions equal. It did not work as the EBR files were not right. By mistake I failed to make a backup, and I do not have the original EBR files. Now the phone does not boot or turn on. It is still detectable by the flash tool in preloader state, and not totally bricked. I would be really grateful if anyone could help with this, especially if some could help me find firmware for my tablet-phone.

[Security Discussion] kevelisipi:
Welcome everyone,

I am making a presentation about android security as a whole system and I'd like to ask you for little help.

As far as theory goes it seems there is enough clear information to find but to finish my project I need to show practical vulnerabilities of the system like an exploit ( I was thinking about showing a process of rooting ) or some kind of virus. Could you guys recommend to me something in this taste? 'Safe' malicious app and a way to monitor it.

Another idea of mine is to get control of android using pc but all I could think of was get 'the user' install an app which would get additional privilege to let control the system.

I was thinking of using android system on virtual machine - like this one: osboxes.org/android-x86

If you guys know some app which would let me monitor every movement in the system like even facebook app to show how many connections it does it would help me greatly.

Sorry if my English is not the best it is not my first language.

Thanks in advance Keve LiSipi
[Security Discussion] h4oxer:
You could discuss the Anserverbot Trojan, which is used to infect non-virus applications and fetches the malicious payload. There exists a whole paper on the analysis.

To take control, you could look at the Stagefright vulnerability, you could use an exploit to get root shell on a device.
