How To ROOT your DROID Maxx, Ultra, and Mini:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2442585
im loving the potential of these devices. Personally I have the Maxx but no root is killing me, so since I don't have the skill to develop a root method I'm starting a root bounty to try to do my part.
Requirements To Claim Bounty:
- Working root access and superuser app on all 3 new Droids that survives rebooting.
- Method can be documented with a step-by-step walkthrough, and replicated.
- Make a post in this thread with the above mentioned walkthrough.
- Verified by at least 1 other member with 10+ posts.
Payment System:
Payment will be processed between each member and the bounty collector via PM on an individual basis. But, proactive donation is HIGHLY encourage!
Bounty Rules:
- Please keep all conversation constructive.
- Please keep conversation about the bounty on this thread, at least for the time being, if this topic takes of and the thread becomes cluttered I will start a separate thread, place a link here, and edit this rule accordingly.
- Please note you may not make any specific restrictions or requirements that aren't listed in the OP. By making a post with your contribution price you are agreeing to paying out based on all terms listed in OP only and nowhere else.
- Please note once you make a post with your contribution you may not withdraw it at any time and are responsible for paying out once the bounty is claimed. The only changes that can be made are another post raising the prices if you choose so. Please make sure you read everything carefully. No exceptions!
- Please be advised that this is for the bootloader locked carrier verisons, so if Motorola is to release a Developer Edition of any of these devices, thus allowing root via an unlocked bootloader flashable kernel (or any method requiring unlock for that matter), this will not qualify as as a valid method for claiming the bounty.
However, if a bootloader unlock exploit/method is found this that works on these devices without root access and root is then achieved, that WILL qualify.
- FIRST PERSON TO POST THE METHOD HERE IS INTITLED TO THE BOUNTY! That persons username will be added to the top OP once the method is verified.
If anyone has anything else that I should add to make this work just post a reply and I'll edit the op.
I'm starting with a pledge of $30.
If I can afford more I'll bump it when I can.
Moderators, if I'm doing something outside the rule with this post plz let me know.
also, i would like to thank "open1your1eyes0" as I have structured this bounty after the S4 unlock bounty, and even borrowed so phrasing as think it was done very well
Thank you all for your contributions. The donation list will be updated nightly (I work during the day), please let me know via pm if i missed missed your pledge or made an error updating the list. I will now be including an update date/time for reference.

For me this method is fine .
We can proceed
sent from my DROID MAXX

Yea I'm lost, I thought the payout was done on an honor system once the goal was achieved, by the achiever contacting the pledgers directly. I'm going off of how the s4 unlock bounty was set up, is that not the norm?
Edit: so just to clarify the above it what I had in mind. I was NOT requesting to hold the funds on have anyone submit payment untill the goal is achieved.
Edit 2: I edited OP to more clearly state my original idea for the bounty. For the previous posters if you are not comfortable with the payment method feel free to edit you posts to remove your pledge. I apologize for not making the OP more clear at first but I believe this method protects the pledgers and dev the best. This is a community for help each other so I don't think to many people will have an issue paying out there pledge if the bounty is claimed.
I'll update the donation list every day or two if this picks up steam.

Interested in Android 5.0/Official CM? Support & Donations needed- P600 Model

17 November 2014: Goal has been reached and tablet is now in the hands of RaymanFX. Still feel free to support and donate to help him continue to prepare for his upcoming works. You can see his progress at github.com/raymanfx and
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:open+exynos,n,z
Under Christopher Hesse
Hello everyone,
I am creating this thread on behalf of @RaymanFX , a recognized developer who needs a device to develop for us.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3463426
He is looking to develop for the P600, WiFi only model and is looking to make AOSP/CM roms and kernels for us.
Here is a previous thread of his: http://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/orig-development/rom-teameos-revival-nightlies-t2826587
And here is a list of previous threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=319162976
Quote by RaymanFX:
most of you probably don't know me since I did not develop for Samsung devices for quite some time now.
I would be interested in aiding the Exynos 5420 development scene (in particular on the Galaxy Note 10.1) and prepare a custom Android distribution for it (Team EOS 5.0 - Lollipop).
I can get all the required drivers and binaries I need for development, since most of it is open source luckily.
And the Nexus 10 (manta) can still be used as reference for many things.
All I need is a development device to debug on.
It is particularly important that this is the Galaxy Note 10.1 EXYNOS (WiFi-only variant), and not the LTE (Qualcomm) variant.
I created this thread to ask whether someone has a spare device lying around, maybe because of the little development on Exynos 5 devices, or if people would be willing to donate a device (I'm a university student and unfortunately can not afford the full price for a new device. I'm willing to dive into the Exynos development scene and spend time on this device though, including extensive debugging).
Thank you two for your reasonable thoughts.
I think the main reason why the previous developers stopped developing for this device rather quickly is the Exynos chip.
The main difference between me and anyone else is (or so I believe) the fact that I am especially interested in developing for the Exynos 5420 chip and the drivers for it (mainly from the Insignal forum source).
As far as bricked devices, I can say I had a Samsung device before, and as long as the bootloader is unlockable and access to ODIN (The firmware flashing tool) is granted, a hard brick is rather hard to achieve. I see little risk here, and I assume my previous development experience will prevent me from making major mistakes in that regard.
A new device would cost me approximately 350€, so if we could collect about 300$ with donations (which would equal something like 270€), I'd pay the remaining costs.
People are of course free to check my development history and/or references first and see if they think I would benefit the aosp development scene for this device.
The ROM I mentioned (Team EOS 5.0 lollipop) is essentially AOSP 5.0 with selected features that we code ourselves, like EOS Weather, or the NX gesture interface.
If people however see the need for an official CM maintainer, I'd be happy to become this as well, all I need is a device to debug and develop on, I'd be willing to spend the time to officially maintain this device.
Other developers and/or contributors should also expect support from me in areas of kernel development or AOSP custom ROM development. I believe in 'sharing is caring', so all my knowledge and achievements on this device shall benefit the community.
If some of you could maybe contact the people who raised donations before, I'd be thankful and gratious for the support. All donations will be listed here and the whole process shall be as transparent as possible.

He is very committed to getting this device and developing for us so let's get him this device. He needs at least $300 so just write below how much you would be willing to donate if the funds were raised for the device. I will update this post with the names and how much people are willing to donate :good:
If at least 30 people donate say $10 for example then we can do this easily. I pledge $10 dollars so lets get this started!!

$20 is perfect, any donations are helpful
Yes PayPal. If you look at his profile there's a link there. I'll add your name to the list :good:

Alright, I've just donated 20€ (which equals ~25$ if I'm not mistaken). It would be great, if @RaymanFX confirmed the transaction (I've refered to XDA in the transaction note, but if you need the transaction ID, write me a PN)
PS: I know I said I'd donate 20$, but I figured since he's german, I could just as well donate 20€ instead :highfive:
And I also know that you usually don't donate until enough pledges have been made, but I have faith that we will make it. And if we don't, well, consider it a donation for the effort, lol

Hi there,
nice to see that at least one person is not scared away by the exynos cpu
You can count me in for 15€
I have a question though:
How is this handled? Are we donating all at once when enough people have expressed their will to donate?
Or should I already donate so that you can be sure that I'm serious?

The donating is a personal thing. I worded things in the op to be safe. It's just easier if people pledge, say they are gonna donate, and then once the amount has been reached people can actually donate.
Say for example, there are no pledges and we raise 200 dollars that people have already donated in a few weeks and then people lose interest and not a lot of donations come in anymore. I don't want people to be angry if the dev doesn't end up getting the tablet. :good:
Better to pledge but if you want to donate right now that's fine. Either way i'll add you to the list

Could you in the title add that this is for the exynos variant. It mislead me into thinking this was for the snapdragon until I read a little.

Ok I'm in for $20. Maybe a little more if we get close! Awesome guys.

[BOUNTY] Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5 SM N920V

I dont know about you guys, but I have owned the Note5 since launch, and have been actively checking multiple forums, Waiting for root and possibly a new recovery! I would love to see CM on my phone some day. I know for a fact a few of my friends would be happy to pledge a few dollars each, to the person who can provide a method.
Personally i would like to pledge $10.00 USD to the person who can bring us an easy root/recovery for this device.
I will talk with my group of friends, and see if i can take up a bit more. (im not super rich)
My hope is that this will steamroll with the people on the same system as I, and we can get a few more pledges.
The parameters for the mission:
-Be the first person to create or find a method to achieve the following:
-Successfully obtain Root access from a fully stock SM N920V Note5 Verizon Variant
-Make a post in this thread with Screenshots/photos
-provide full step by step instructions that anyone else reading the forum can follow
-Wait for atleast one member to follow the same method and confirm it works as described on their fully stock device with the SM N920V build.
-Claim your bounty via PM from the pledger(s)
Payment will be processed between each member and the bounty collector via PM on an individual basis.
If you would like to make a pledge, Please make a post in this thread, and make the subject line the amount you would like to pledge.
A huge thank you in advance, from myself, and all the patrons who have dedicated a few dollars to the cause, this means more to us than.... well chances are if you are developing the method, you know how much it means to the community.
If you are a developer, please contact me with details or updates about progress, if you are working on this project.

Gentlemen/Ladies, Have faith
Where there is a will, there is a way
- English proverb
All things are possible, such as removing the devices capability to detect root. There just has to be a person to take on the challenge, and reverse engineer or work around the code. Androids Open source nature should play to someones benefit! The terms they use are root prevention. Preventions were meant to be bypassed. if the device shows a black screen and says " device is rooted... etc" then obviously the root has worked, now how do we get past that? Im no programmer/coderninja, but any good ideas from those who are are more than welcome on this thread. Knowledge is power.
Please make sure people see this, if we can gain enough of a following, it will attract the right people for the job!

Having ad away and drive droid and the multitude of other features that i have grown accustomed to would make this phone perfect.

Thanks for the support thus far guys, Be sure to share it with people you know to have a better chance of making this happen and attracting the right hacker

$20 here.

Throwing $20 pledge unto the pile. How much do you think it'll take to get the right hacker interested?

Roger that!

edit: nevermind, i'll pledge $10 for now, i'd like to see if we can get a full root (preferably that doesn't trip KNOX)

You guys are nuts! You honestly think anybody is going to waste their time and efforts on a "dead" phone for 10 and 20 bucks? What are you, 12? At the very best, whoever takes on this project will render their $700 phone useless through trial and error and may need to go through multiple phones to get it right. It'll probably take the right guy at least a few grand. Nobody is willing to go through that for 10 and 20 bucks, and there aren't enough of us to build up the money we need if we're only pledging $10 . If you REALLY want results, you're going to need to up your ante. I will pledge $500 myself, but that's still not going to cut it. Whoever takes on this project needs at the very least the price of the phone.. Start adding zeros to your numbers people!

Not just money bro. ..you also get bragging rights. ..I remember when the s3 got finally rooted. .he became over night celebrity. .then you have j case who rooted the black phone in under 5 minutes. .that was the phone they claim could not be rooted. ..I understand your point ..but with enough donation we can get our goal. ..it will take time....for now adguard is your best friend, haven't even missed root.

Lineage OS 14.01

I personally used every cm13 and lineOS14 from Meticulus and the development was good. Android as a open source OS developers preferring money for developments is completely not the right way. Hope that the developers figure out this problems and not abandon hundreds and thousands of users who trusted the developers and have love and passion for a clean OS to their phones.

Stawp.
He got pissed off bc people did not respect the rules in 8 out of 10 replys in his Dev Thread not bc he wanted to be a millionaire, wtf?
He mainly build the source. If he decides to ask a donation for it so people will buzz off it's his problem not yours.
Next time respect rules in Dev Thread.

But, nothing see?
Server of devs cost Money
Build machines cost Money
Devices cost Money
Example:
Build machine (basic) on old hardware but 64b support= 150$
Basic Server = 50$ per year

Meticulus uses a free webhost and a free domain. = 0 $
Community donated for his p9 lite = 0$
Build machines aka his pc is his own property for daily use so all in all he pays nothing.

And the internet are free?
And the time?
You job and no receive Money?

Do you think it's okay to sell other's work ?
Do you think those who contributed to lineage os will be happy to see someone making profit out of it ?

You are not obligated to receive any money for your home needs from us. We all pay for basic needs, things you do here you wilingly choose to do as volunteer and making projects based on someones else source(lineage os) is not a full time job. So making roms is NOT a full time job, it's a volunteer job.

Ok....

To the point well said. Asking for a donation is no problem. But distributing a free OS only for a payment is not legally correct even.

Can we please end this debate? He got his P9 Lite from donations and uses free hosting services, so stop crying for him. Putting open source software behind a paywall is something the guy should be called out for, and that's it. He thinks he will get rid of the guys "bothering" him with questions, but the reality is he has a much lower user base so he also receives much lower feedback.
I follow the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 subforum where people ask even more retarded questions than people ask here on the P9 Lite subforum, but the developers never said "OMG this is so noobish I will stop developing"... But that's his decision and who am I to judge really...
The only choice we have is to wait for the official OTA and then find a way to root so we can debloat it... Or pay the guy's fee and enter his "secret" G+ group and receive updates from him. That's all.

This is bs and I'll tell you why. You can call a mod to clean the thread when things get out of hand.

beanstown106 must be a god :"D

I'm going to stop this one here guys. People are free to do what they want of course, but asking for donations for anything other than a tip and and a thanks, is not allowed on XDA. :good:
Cheers,
