Right this thing has some good potential if we can get around Samsung's broken source or whatever is preventing custom built - yet completely stock kernel source. No modifications. - from booting it'll be awesome. Minz will most likely figure it out now.

These new chips built on 14nm manufacturing process get crazy battery life and they don't overheat or at least get very hot like older chips. I have screenshots of 10.5 hour ON SCREEN TIME battery life on this device with 4% left, and it took me about another 45 minutes of YouTube videos on half brightness to completely drain the battery. Insane battery life on this thing No battery saver options enabled. Some gaming and half brightness setting or higher, as I regularly move from indoors to outdoors and I'm constantly changing the brightness.

My only gripes is no fingerprint sensor and we didn't get an AMOLED display like the J700P but the display isn't too bad once you get used to it. For the price can't complain too much. Also native Vulkan support and we should get official 7.1 and hopefully Android 0 and some point. If everything goes well of course Minz will have an Oreo Lineage Build way before we get an official build.

Though one thing I never understood - and the J700P was the same way. I've never seen even a low-end device that did not have an ambient light sensor, to automatically change the brightness of the display. What the hell is with these $200 devices (at least when first launched, it's not $200 anymore) not have an ambient light sensor -_-

I mean really doesn't bother me that much, but it's 2017... Come on. Ambient light sensor has been a simple, standard feature for a long time now.

Just wanted to say.. Thank you to all who have donated so far.. I've been between checks myself. After 4 phones with Boost and never a custom rom... it will be lovely to have one at last, and especially for such a nice device.. Thank you for your efforts Minz..

I don't know if you guys are aware but I came across this guide here https://www.androidweblog.com/root-samsung-galaxy-j7-perx-sm-j727p-twrp-recovery/ and followed the directions and TWRP is literally on my Boost Perx right now (and man am I happy to see it there). Literally no problem whatsoever. Not sure if this is related to minz but I would love to see this phone rocking some custom OS's now =/

Well... nevermind guess that links twrp was gimped a bit and didn't work properly. I did find minz's twrp thread tho and managed to get that one going and working as it should. Thanks man.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] samijay:
Since I started installing ROMs on my htc one m7 my phone network is messed up over. First there are many places with 2g here and non of the custom ROMs allowed me to on mobile data on 2g network. I've tried flashing different radio but always the same. Even the 3g is never more than 50% but one thing I noticed, the phone has Verizon written at the back although it uk used unlocked one but the bootloader is always m7wls which is Sprint model. Won't allow me to install Verizon ROMs until I changed the build file from the ZIP before flashing. Now I flashed a radio now and my phone won't even flash Sprint rom again but only m7 though the bootloader remain the same. Please anyone ever experience this and can help to resolve this.Thanks

I think Verizon phones are compatible with Sprint. If you could switch, maybe you could flash official Sprint firmware and get your Moto Z2 Force OEM unlocked? I don't really know if you can, but maybe it is worth it to see? :)

+$250 towards a open source motorola bootloader unlock key generator

Absolutely serious, will pay when bootloader is unlocked without damage to phone and source and binary are released to the public. I can get into EDL for some reason so if testing is needed I am more than willing to cooperate.

This phone is too good to just be sitting in a drawer because Axon 7 is better solely because of root. I want full system access with custom recovery and rom.

Motorola and Verizon teamed up together to ship these phones with a virus called "Motorola Update Services", which ignores the toggle switch in Developer Settings for Automatic Updates and cannot be uninstalled, so I have to disable storage access and force close the app everytime it tries to update or I'll have a forever progress bar in my notification area.

To unlock Bootloader, do the following steps work?

On Phone:

Open Developer Mode: Settings>System>About Phone>Click "Build Number" Seven Times

Go back to System>Developer Options>Turn on: OEM Unlocking & USB Debugging

On PC:

Do Google Search for Downloads:

Download: adb and fastboot

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

fastboot oem get_unlock_data (this data is used in the Motorola Website: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a)

Once logged in, put in above unlock data in to see if phone is able to be unlocked...click unlock.

You'll receive a unique unlock code via email....copy unlock code.

Go back to Command Prompt/PowerShell

Type:

fastboot oem unlock (unique unlock code) (type in twice to confirm unlocking)

(NOTE: ALL DATA WILL GET DELETED-BACK IT UP!)

If this isn't working, what hiccups are you running into?

Argh, stupid me... I just bought an actual new (warranty replacement from Verizon) Z2 Force with the intent of putting LineageOS 16 on it... but an unlockable bootloader didn't even occur to me.

I would be willing to chip in $200 to the bounty, but it looks like a lost cause at this point.

Are there any other modern (my current phone is HTC One M8) Verizon phones that CAN be unlocked and run LOS16? I have never NOT owned a fully unlocked Android device and don't think I could tolerate a carrier-bloat Android experience without Magisk, AdFree, Titanium, TWRP, etc. Half my apps require root!

I can't switch to AT&T because of my rural location. Verizon is the only major provider that covers the area. The rural carrier also uses Verizon 4G spectrum and none of the phones they offer are any good, nor do I suspect they are unlockable anyway. I am not sure I even need/want a smartphone without root.
