I think you must be referring to this:
http://www.zifnab06.net/2010/05/possible-root-exploit/
Sounds like there is some potential there, but we will have to see if anyone can turn the overflow into something useful.
I just took that update yesterday too...lol
Problem is this news is three days old and nothing new has come of it. I'm skeptical that he ran into a roadblock.

"IF i can learn arm assembly, then this shouldn’t be too hard."
Maybe he's working on that.
Anything new is a small glimmer of hope for me...lol
If hope is what you need then you should join us in irc.
I'm on there...

Same, not idling right now though. Break time at work.
This is my favorite thread title ever.
What update should we not go passed, I took the update for the exchange server fix, i am currently on 2.1-update1.
How do we stop taking updates? the last one went automatically for me

Not sure about this 'opportunity' but that update included a recovery update which could have patch a yet unknown/released bug.
I hate to give bad news, but I'm about 99% sure that the exploit is for the Droid Eris. He mentions leaks (there have been 3 leaks for the Eris) and this was first posted by Zifnab on the Eris forum the other day.
This MAY have provide some insight into a possible root method for the incredible, but, personally, I am not optimistic considering all of the time between releases, the newer kernel, etc.
Sorry everyone.
he does seem to be working mainly on the eris but the main reason i posted it was because he says in this thread that it should work on any HTC device that uses fastboot.
while i know squat about the area, i figured it was worth linking to.
This looks interesting and useful, even if the information is for the Eris the post says it would work on all HTC devices with fastboot.
All HTC devices come with fastboot so if this is real its most credible post to hit the forums for the incredible.
1Way
Head over to the XDA Eris section and talk to him about what he's doing.

Links on new Site

Ok Alldroid apparently self imploded and it ended up restarting from the ground up, so in the process they "lost" all their data with Rom's and what not. While helping a friend with his Moto Droid I took the opportunity to spread The Developers work to more users and started a post with all props and links to XDA for info and dl links to Roms currently here.
I hope this doesn't upset anyone, I made an assumption that with props and linking to your work directly would be ok.
Let me know if you don't want it up on the site or if I missed someone that was contributing.
I did the stupid poll before there was an 11th Rom and I can't delete it or add any more. Sorry I am not choosing favorites. Currently working on removing it.
Just trying to spread the wealth.

Master Root Eris Program
I don't mind if you repost mine. At least you asked, my ROM is posted on many sites right now, none with my permission.. not that it really matters, but courtesy goes a long way
ZenEXP-Eris Rev7 is launching soon, please update your link appropriately when the time comes.

thanks for leaving mine out of the poll . It's cool to spread the word though. Thanks man!
Won't lie I was really freaking out that I was going to get flamed for this...Just wanted to do my part and spread the Rom joy. Plus I got the poll off hope remaking a thread didn't kill the link but will fix if so.
thanks for linking to mine and jamezelles Eris Master App program. I dont mind if someone posts it in other places, as long as they ask in some form, or link to the main thread they got it from, with credit.
I can't build so I will do what I can for the Rootnation.
All links have been updated and all props and links are changed accordingly if anyone hasn't been mentioned let me know and I will fix it.

I put up a new thread for ZenEXP-Eris. You should link to the new thread as I've asked Ivan to merge posts from the old one into the new and remove the old one
Here's the link to the new thread.
not a problem. the more people who know, the better.
ok will get it later. thanks for the link

Update for anyone tracking the 3G Upload issue

Just wanted to make sure folks here had heard the latest...look for the last post by a Sprint admin in the "3G Upload Capped?" thread (page 36 of the official Epic 4G forum at Sprint.com).
Sorry, I'd post a link but because I'm considered a noob here still, this site won't let me.

just post the update here with quotes, that way I can see if it's the same one I saw a few days ago and saw in a thread here
Well, Desi (Sprint Admin) first replies on page 35 after a bunch of us are ranting about this issue, saying:
"Wanted to let you know that the fix is still in process and I will update this thread as soon as I have a release date.
Also, I just accidentally deleted several posts (meant to remove only one, but removed it and all it's replies)...so if you have one missing (for no apparent reason), please accept my apology!"
Then after a few folks ask what exactly the issue is and how are they fixing it, Desi replies again on page 36 with:
"I don't have any specifics on the fix...only that it's a software change and will be released asap."

GPS FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg
i was searching around today and found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782242
and the gps is working perfect, only off about 10-20 feet.
im inside and it caught 10 sattelites
this thread is in the bible too, but you should make it a sticky on general(or Q&A) because this is where most people search for this.
I think like 3 more ! would have been better. More people would have noticed your thread then.
Thanks for the heads-up.
I'm still getting no useable fix with Wireless Networks disabled.
Garbage phone...never buying another Samsung anything...well, maybe a TV.

Whats the difference between the files on that thread (dated Sept) and the files that were included in the last OTA update from Tmobile?

People who can't search "gps fix" obviously don't really need it that badly. And as with all GPS "fixes" for the Vibrant, YMMV.

That thread is outdated and only applies for people running JFD. The OTA update (JI6) already contains the GPS changes Samsung made to JI2.

i think the person who you refer to is member who posted at android 5.0 discussion thread on page 10
lollipop update is a very confidental project that Motorola's staff really really should be careful to not spread it to public and always keep their mouth off to it
But why did he tell when the update was comeing, if he knew he should of kept it a secret?
