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.

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.

I keep an eye out for that kind of thing, and I have heard/seen nothing about that. Although, I do believe there were a number of new Android builds for the HD2 that came out right about then, are you sure it wasn't one of those that you heard about?

I read about it on the T-mobile forums. The person in question also stated that it was up on this website, but now the thread and all links have been removed/deleted.
Conspiracy?!?

Yeah if they pulled the thread and the links, I'd assume that someone called bs on it and they did what we would do here, and just trashed it. It's possible to that it was in reference to the release of some specific ROM (or ROM build) on that date, but my guess is that it was just someone trying to stir up trouble...you'd be surprised how often people actually do that in this type of environment

Yeah, they quoted that the links were directly from HTC....not uploaded to this site or some other site. I'd post the link, but I'm not sure if that is kosher on this site (or the other).

I just looked over HTC's official support pages for the HD2, and I don't seen any new updates of any type, not that recently anyway. If you have the link you can PM it to me and I'll check it out real quick and see if it's 1) valid, and 2) ok to post here.

K thanks Jimmy, I looked over the thread you sent from t-mobile's forums, and there's no problem posting the link here as far as I know (I'll post it below myself, just in case). But after reading it all I also couldn't find anything more substantial than just what that one member was reporting...which was just mostly that he'd seen "something" on HTC's site related to an update, that was supposedly later pulled down.
I'll note too that any updates for the US T-Mobile version of the HD2 wouldn't come from HTC's site anyway, they're only ever released (officially) through the T-Mobile support page for the phone. So, it's quite possible that even if there IS an update about to be released, it might only be for the euro version of the phone...and since official ROM updates always include a radio, it would likely be incompatible with the US model (i.e. it would brick any one that it was flashed to).
Here's the T-Mobile thread it was mentioned in:
http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-HD2/new-update/td-p/459563
Hey guys I've noticed that a lot of people are reporting bugs and asking for help in Designgears' "[Tech Demo] Gingerbread for Captivate Build-4 (experimental) | CyanogenMod 7 Alpha 2" thread, which is something that he's requested not to happen. Just figured I'd start a user discussion thread so people can post bugs/issues and hopefully get support for it.

Well your signature is very true. However, I hope it isn't directed at me; I don't think that I misunderstood anything. If I did please feel free to let me know.
You can't have the development forum full of support threads for every release.

The thread doesn't necessarily pertain exclusively to the update.zips, but rather to the work being done on Gingerbread and CM7 as a whole. I understand that designgears just packaged the work done by supercurio and others into an update.zip, but that in itself is valuable, as it is easier for the people who have trouble doing all the adb commands and such. On top of that, support offered here is still relevant to people who have installed it via supercurio's method. Having this thread here makes it easier for everybody who has installed Gingerbread or CM7 on their Captivate to get help with either of these two projects.
P.S. I'm sorry, I understand that this thread probably belongs in General, so mods please feel free to move it if you see fit
Its not my position to say what belongs where but I'm glad to have this thread. I would still be running gb but had a cpl issues. My phone wouldn't go into landscape mode for one and youtube videos I was only getting sound no video.
Maybe issues everyone is having maybe not. Can't wait until it's done but I will keep trying each build. Thanks for the thread and happy holidays to all.

Designgears IS NOT working on the bugs. Read his posts. Supercurio and some others are. I'm sure they know the bugs. They also read these forums. Just let them work out the kinks. They'll get there. Or you could always code it yourself
Anyway, I hope to see a stable release soon!

I was so happy that I finally got my 3.1 update last week for my iconia but 3.2 is ready to come out in a few days... Hopefully we will get this update sooner this time.

From what I read online 3.2 is suppose to be a version optimized for 7 inch tablets and the Icecream Sandwich 4.0 will be release in the 4th quarter of the the year for all tablets.
Nevermind... it will be ported for sure. Heheh
Based on Acers history, do you think there is much of a chance we will even officially see a android 4 (ICS) release for the A500?

Bet you fifty bucks we get it from the devs here LONG before we get it from Acer.
Google have said that ICS will be open-source, so that's the point where you'll start seeing some real innovation in tablet ROMs. At the moment the custom ROMs are nice, but it's largely tinkering around the edges + new kernels. ICS will change that.
So I wouldn't worry too much about Acer bringing it to the A500 - someone will, and it'll be better than Acer would have done it.
Moved as not development, please read the rules and post in the correct section ONLY.
Besides, just wondering why are you posting XOOM news in Acer A500 forum ?

I thought this was the general section where you can post anything "general" that would have to do with the A500. I just think the OP was giving us a heads up on 3.2 is all.

Actually it is about development, whats the difference between this and other post in development just mentioning about 3.1. And I did not post it about the Xoom, I was just showing everyone that 3.2 can be expected in a few months, or years lol, for the iconia.

You get those types on any forums, not just this one. Support forums tend to be worse because there is a lot of the same questions being asked over and over and it tends to build up animosity and resentment among the people who've been around for a while. There is really nothing you can do except add a disclaimer with every post, explaining how you've exhausted every other option prior to posting. There will always be the crowd that feels posting on a support forum should be a last resort, to be used only after every other resource has been drawn upon. I've seen that iron-fisted approach turn some boards into vacant wastelands. In comparison, it's really not that bad here...for now.
Back on topic: I think the original poster was posting a seemingly Xoom topic on an A500 board because there a lot of A500 owners still wondering if they made the right purchase and look to compare the two. I speak as an A500 owner when I say that if a new patch comes out, and the Xoom gets it first, I damn well want to know about it.
Cheers,

There is a reason Thors rom has not been posted on XDA. I'm sure that a MOD will be here soon and you will find out why tegraowners rom has not been posted here.

You forgot to read the XDA rules about posting links to Non-GPL/Warez.
last time I checked roms, android , linux in general is not warez so get back on your high horse and leave the thread... go be jealous somewhere else...

No, but kernels are. Without having to quote GPL, which I am sure you can read yourself, any changes made to the kernel, must have the source code available to the public.
Thor, does not release his kernel source, therefor, his kernel is non-GPL compliant. As such, he is not allowed to post his roms containing his kernel on XDA. And, as it is a link directly to his non-compliant rom, links are thus not allowed.
For somebody who has only 12 posts, clearly you haven't been around very long, or you can't read very well.
And no, I am not jealous. His rom doesn't work well on a 501 as we all know, so nothing to be jealous about. And... I don't own a horse
Considering you're low post count, you simply have not seen the other threads around here regarding Thor's ROMs, so I will respectfully just say that this thread is going to be deleted whether we're on a high horse or not. And I know this likely will spill out into another argument over the knowledge and interpretation of GPL rules, but your generalization of how they work is way off.
I looked over all roms here no one has any sources so.... why comment?
plus none of the roms come even close to this one...

We're not attacking you for defending Thor's ROMs, many would agree that they are good ones, but the debate over if what he is doing violates XDA rules has been beaten to death here. Those that do not offer the source are because they are based off of another ROM, and if you go to that ROMs main thread, there sources are generally there.
FLEXREAPER by Civato take this for example says "Tweaked kernel" so not stock and no sources... no one is trolling there... guess favoritism runs wild here...
