I'm taking a dose of the only cure for flashoholism...

This phone is draining my time and killing my soul. Selling it before my wife chooses to sell me. There are more important things to focus on in my life. Already changed back to my faithful Env3. and busted out my 7MP point-and-shoot camera. Ah, the good 'ol days
PM me if you want to make an offer. Close to mint condition. A few minor scratches on the screen that happened before I applied the screen protector. Can't really even see them. Stock battery. Everything works great. Currently running MIUI, but of course you can flash what you like. I can throw in an 8GB card. Offers via PM only, please. I live near Houston, TX if that means anything to you.
I'll post to Ebay and transact it that way if it makes you feel better, but I'll have to take a slightly higher offer to cover their gouging commissions. As of now, it's not on Ebay.
You can see from my post count that I'm not new to XDA. This is legit.
Moderators, let me know if there's a more appropriate place to put this. I figured it was pretty 'general'.

dude thats bad you can't control yourself with that phone?lol instead of getting rid of it you should prob seek help.

lmao @jager. Its not unusual for someone to get obsessed with there phones, they are amazing and can do everything.
He doesnt need to seek help, he saw there was a problem and he fixed it, dont troll

LOL! Yea right.
Look...I am tempted nearly every minute of every day to check this website and get the latest thing. The surest way to get rid of the temptation is to get rid of the phone. I've already reclaimed a few hours of my life just in the past couple of days.
No takers yet. I guess I'll post to E-bay

I have a friend who might be interested. I'll check with him. What would be a general idea of what your looking out of it? (PM me if you don't want to post here please)

Yeah, plus he give NO links, and NO credit to anyone. People can so easily do this themselves but this prick is trying to get you to pay for it. And the whole video from 9:00 on makes no sense at all and he's just making up stuff as he goes along. Either way, I really hope nobody is stupid enough to pay these guys...

Couldn't watch the whole thing..... my eyes started to water from anger and laughter.....

So there is a phone number. Plaster it everywhere you can. Call it several times each. Play dumb and keep him on the phone as long as you can to waste his time. Spam the website........if there's an email address sign it up for every adult daiper and knitting blog/subscription.......

When the final CM7 is out with everything working (fp, weptop) I would rather pay $50-$100 to some XDA member in my area to unlock and install it if I don't have the time to do it, takes some reading, root, unlock, backup data, install.

Rooting Service !
Long time browser, first time contributor.
Sounds to me like they are offering a service just like fixing a car or installing Linux. Not sure why that qualifies them as “scumbags”.
I'm not very technical, and like several others have mentioned, would gladly pay someone to root my phone.
I did call them about my rooting my Inspire a few months back, and they did offer replacement protection against bricking my unit. Also, if I mess-up my device in the future, I can always send it back to them for repair – no charge.
If everything on the xda-threads worked perfectly, I too wouldn’t mind rooting myself. But, I can see from several threads, some of which are over 1000 pages long, that things don’t always go right – I don’t have time for that (as much fun as it sounds).
Find me a member of ebay, craigslist or XDA-Developers who will do the same job for less, with the same guarantee, and I’d move my business to them – I have yet to find anybody.

Everyone is good at something.
Not everyone is good at everything.
I wish I thought about this stuff before those guys did.

ATRIX is my LAST Motorola product

So my phone has this problem of only intermittently vibrating when I get a text/call. So I got an RMA and sent it in. First off, the lost it, and took several days and several phone calls to find somebody who was able to locate my phone. They then told me that it was not under warranty because it was physical damage. They said the main board was bent. Somehow I was apparently able to bend the phone enough to bend the main board but not crack the screen or back or anything else. So they said they could sell me a phone for $179 (no way). Sounds like crap to me........ I'll be buying Samsung next time.

cool story bro.

I prefer Samsung too. But in the long run I'm going to go with cool story bro

Except Samsung has always been on top of updates. The only time Samsung hasn't had a timely update was due to networks, namely AT&T, not approving of the update for a long time.

I agree! Samsung makes good phones, but the touchwiz icons make me feel like I should use velcro shoes, safety scissors, finger paints, ect.
I posted this to get up to the 10 post limit for the dev forums, thanks. I feel validated since it was already towards the top of the page, and my post adds about as much to these forums as the OP

Universal motorola root method Discovered

So well known hacker, Dan Rosenberg has managed to root the Droid 4 and possibly discovered a universal motorola root method. He initially requested $200 so he could purchase the Droid 4 and then he would deliver the root method and has since released the necessary batch script as that goal was reached.
Now he is promised a universal motorola root method when $500 is donated. I'd like to believe this is legit.
Anyway, I'm posting this here because as far as I know, the Xyboard/Xoom 2 has still yet to be rooted and there is no forum for that device so I'm sure there are plenty xyboard/xoom 2 owners here anxiously hoping for a root method.
Here's the link to the story and within it a link to the donate page if you're interested.

Is xda gonna fix the prem app? No links work

Dan Rosenberg is legit, I believe him, and I'm donating. If this is for real then hopefully I can root my Xyboard right away.

I just realized he already released the root method. I'm actually attempting it now.

I thought he had only released the droid 4 root and the universal was separate?

I don't know this guy or his work, but when you release something based on donations it is no longer donations. This guy selling root tools and nothing pisses me off more. I will not be helping with his cause.

No. Just no. $200 was to allow him to buy a Droid 4, $300 was to be donated directly to the Red Cross. Now all donations are being sent directly to the Red Cross. He's not even going to be getting the Droid 4.

Precisely this. He was trying to get people to donate money to a charitable thing.
TBH, I'm tired of Android users thinking that because the OS is open, everything should be. So many people that I know (or see on reddit) and one of the first questions: what are some FREE apps that I should get? Its probably one of the contributing factors to why iOS has so more apps: their users are actually willing to pay for quality.

He was shocked when people reacted negatively to his $500 "ransom" demands. He does, of course, have the right to sell his work if he chooses. And that attitude may dramatically alter others' opinions of him.
He then very quickly backed down from the $500 demand, and released the unlocker.
He still hit hit his target of $500 very fast - he stopped accepting $ at $575.

Actually - the $500 hard ransom was correct. He changed the rules after getting some pushback.
My $.02 (and you get change back from the 2 cents) is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22433305&postcount=10
I do believe if he'd started with
- the unlocker is released
- donations are voluntary
- first 200 is mine for a tool I'll buy that will help you
- next 100 / 200 is dinner for my family
- remainder goes to charity (or keep it all)
That he'd have over 1,000 by now.

I hate when people throw a hissy fit over something like asking for a donation. Dan should be compensated for his work and time spent finding this exploit. I literally found out about this 10 minutes ago after checking android police (haven't been on there in a few days). I wish I would of known sooner. I would of gladly donated. Keep up the good work Dan and don't let a few idiots discourage you. Thank you for your hard work and time.

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned at all on this forum, unless I'm reading it completely wrong.

Now, full disclosure, I haven't actually done this but it is very interesting. I haven't tried my device since the note 8, and is have to get more comfortable with knowing how to unroot before I attempt this. In addition to the details installing custom recovery, I'm just not ready I guess. I'm talking myself up though lol

You have to unlock your bootloader before doing anything. That's where the issue is

Interested in seeing the results for somebody

That's a bit too much for something you have to wait for someone to have the time to do it .

It comes from China and have to use teamviewer and what about a refund if it doesn't work? Think I'll just stay stock for the mean time, no telling what might get installed on your phone.

But the question in play is development. You pay and then no development hurts too. Thats why I try to stick it with known models if at all possible

I suppose my feelings about paying are: if I want to root bad enough, I'm gonna want it $125 bad. In the scheme of things, is not a huge amount. Not if you can afford a $1300 smartphone, or even ~$800 with trade in.
And yes, it's also worth supporting development.
Edit: also agree, there is a lot going on in China. I've worked with colleagues in China and have friends there. Is a different culture there, there's so much more job competition than here. There's not room for half-assed efforts.
