Hi,
I have search the wiki and cannot find anything on unlocking leo.
are there any unlocks out there at present to unlock a t-mobile HTC HD2?
googleeee way to gooo
CLICK
I found one on google already, but I thought there might be another way here via flashing the deviec like I did on the Sony X1.
thanks for the reply.
Thought this was funny, look at the adds for this thread (in attached screen shot).
This is funny too! XD
...Anyway, being serious...
No, there isn't any other solution for unlocking this. At least for now!
But as soon as an HardSPL comes out, you'll be able to do this work.... just wait some weeks
I just saw the ads in the previous post...
I nearly fell of my chair.... that was funny...
Cool I will wait for a Hard SPL then.
Thanks for the humour and info
This is the Developmental forum, please refrain from creating a thread here unless the thread meant to actually develop something. Read the forum rules, it's clearly stated in there.
Mate just buy the unlocking code from ebay. Easy way.
you guys are too serious and dumb and unproductive. enjoy your crap phone
ashold....wasting my time
hence the title and in general...
fa·ce·tious
[fuh-see-shuhs]
–adjective
1. not meant to be taken seriously or literally: a facetious remark.
2. amusing; humorous.
3. lacking serious intent; concerned with something nonessential, amusing, or frivolous
however many more months of having a locked bootloader and i may folllow my own guide then mail the phone back to motorola asking them to recycle it properly for me its the least they could do... anyway off to pick up my car dock maybe that actually will make me forget about it being locked for a while more.
Thanks for the advice. Will do it later.
Ehhehwheheeeehee lol

Could you change the title of the thread to "Bounty for unlocked bootloader"?
It seems that we are much closer to getting that via Dan Rosenberg's method than having someone find an exploit for the 4.4.4 firmware to obtain root. Note that an unlocked bootloader will allow for both root and write protection off for the lifetime of the device, over all* OTA patches to come.
*unless the OTA relocks the bootloader and patches the vulnerability discovered by Dan, then we're SOL.
Once the title is changed, count me in for $20.
Title changed

I guess you missed the 50+ page thread for this EXACT same topic....
I guess I may have missed that other thread. I didn't intend to make one on top of another if I did but upon my first post in another thread this was recommended, so I edited my post as a mistake. Then I got the title wrong and humbly corrected it. I actually prefer to leave this stuff to the grown ups but I been a little desperate as I'm sure others may be too. Does this thread need to be deleted? Is there another thread for the same thing? If so, how do I close the thread. I'm all ears for advice, although I may not have time to make any changes. Any one who wants to take over thread is certainly invited and welcome. I just want progress and an willing to pay. :thumbup:

To everyone who keeps requesting that a NEW bounty thread be created for the sole purpose of the BL-Unlock exploit....it's pretty simple guys. Just start a new thread in General and title it "[BOUNTY] Full Bootloader Unlock 2013 Droid Line-up".
If nobody else will do it, I will -- just give the word. I'm already unlocked though, so it should probably be started by someone who wants an unlock exploit, and will keep the OP updated with all the pledger's usernames and pledge amounts along with a running total of the FULL bounty amount.
Don't forget to WITHDRAW your pledges from any other bounty threads you have pledged to. This is important.

samwathegreat said:
I find it really surprising that you guys are continuing to post pledge amounts in THIS thread, and that none of you have created a new one, even after I suggested it. Any one of the last 3 posters could have started it...
Are you all going to come back to THIS thread, and edit out your pledges? Because that's what you need to do. You don't pledge bounties in multiple threads for the same thing....not unless you intend on paying twice!
EDIT: Glad to see a new bounty thread was started...however consider the shortcoming - that thread is for "4.4.4. root" - it does not mention write protect disable or bootloader unlock. What exactly are you guys wanting? Technically, a "temp-root" on 4.4.4 would qualify for this bounty, and could quickly be patched by the next update.
Just food for thought....I really expected the new bounty thread to be for full bootloader unlock -- to encourage a DEV to take Dan Rosenburg's new bootloader trust zone vulnerability and create a tool to exploit it. That is the only permanent rooting solution for you guys.
EDIT2: I see that the title of the new bounty thread has been changed to "full bootloader unlock". Great :good:

These pretty much summarize the creation of this thread.
Thanks for helping explain. This ain't my forte.
Hey guys... If I could do it, I would for free but... I can't and time is money, so my $50 still stands for whatever gentleman takes the time.
Just a little misunderstanding from the starting point, I take blame. Hey the finish line is still the finish line in spite of the start.
So, let's all pitch in and enjoy these great phones moto finally made!
I personally can't understand why these phones aren't more popular. Touchless control is amazing.
I can pay $20 via PayPal. @Dan: Please release the exploit.
Count me in, I'll contribute with 30$.

Easier than what? Its currently the ONLY option.
It does not work for everybody. He can only unlock devices between a certain date range. Almost no 2013 devices, and very few devices with assembly dates in the past 2 months.
It is a good option, but we already have an existing thread on that topic. I believe most or all of those pledging bounties for an exploit have tried the middleman already, unsuccessfully.
I'll contribute $20.
The cost is very high

??? Please explain ??? You mean you don't know how to do it yourself and it will take to much money for a dev to get involved and for you to get involved? Or you know how to do it and you have a price that our pledges don't total? If you do know how and have a price, name the price, and show some love to the android open source community for crying out loud... Don't play with our emotions.... Just saying

this thread and pledges will expire Friday the 22nd

That's pretty soon, especially given that I haven't seen the exploit of Dan's vulnerability on any other phone. I imagine that once it's been done on one phone the others will follow quickly and snatch up bounties. Keep it alive, let it build up and eventually someone will deliver.
OK.. I just didn't want someone to feel obligated if they had a better way.

Everyone has the opportunity to withdraw their pledges at any point. Setting them to expire on the 22nd seems extremely excessive in my opinion...
Kinda hard to tell, since you gave zero information. But I'd call bs since there's nothing about it in the bounty thread and it would be there immediately.

I have it temporarily rooted, it loses root upon reboot, please wait until I can get a script working. I have been granted temporary root via camera. It grants temporary root via USB Debugging turned on with MTP and all that turned off. I have been able to remove VZW Bloatware... no luck on bootloader yet though.

If what you claim is true you should contact jdevs and take his help... I am sure, he can work his magic even with temp root... I doubt it though... Cuz u can't remove bloatware with temp root... So either u don't have it or u have permanent root! But again doubt that! No offence though..

And that he has 4 posts and 3 thanks, no images, no videos, no other information other than "I rooted it temporarily".
Hey guess what, I rooted this phone a month ago. I work for VZW as a system / software security expert and have access to their methods and scripts for bypassing their software security measures. See, anyone can post up anything for attention.

Just because someone has 4 posts, and not known DOES NOT mean they are not capable of rooting a device. You are so quick to shoot someone down, if it is a fake, let it be, we don't need to here this comment every time someone claims to have found something... This forum is a discussion for who those who are interested in experimenting with their devices, no need for trolling just because someone has 4 posts and hasn't posted screenshots. If I were to discover a potential rooting vulnerability, I would not be posting screenshots, and I definitely wouldn't have the posts.

So a few things:
1. You have no way knowing if its true or not yet.
2. Didn't you drop the Turbo? Why are you even here if you don't have the Turbo anymore other than to make such trollish comments?
3. This won't be the first time someone who doesn't live on a forum accomplishes something like this.

So a few replies:
1. Deep down, yes we do. Whether you want to admit to the truth is another story.
2. Maybe get your facts straight on my business - let me enlighten you: Never had the Turbo. I'm smart enough to not buy a phone that is so locked down when I want a phone with root and/or an unlocked bootloader. If (not when) that ever happens I'll consider getting it, but chances are the '15 models are going to be out by then and the Turbo will be considered "an older phone". Right now I'm just following along on the (lack of) progress with rooting and keeping everyone in check with reality (or "trolling", if that's how you want to put it).
3. Unrelated since it isn't happening with this guy. I'd bet money he goes away just like the "VZW security rep" did in the bounty thread. I'd give you the link to his area in that thread if you don't remember him, but I'm not sifting through all the bs posted over there to find the exact location.

Lol, maybe, but seems an appropriate response for someone going on a rant, wanting really hard to believe that this guy ACTUALLY temp rooted this phone after I called the "rooter" out on his bs. Screenshots, images, pics of the whole phone, something would be better than just "Hey guess what, I rooted it."
Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting against the phone being rooted eventually. I'm just less inclined to creme all over my keyboard without some sort of believable hard evidence.
So I think this is the correct section ive been a decade almost lurker, but so I post a screen shot of the oem unlock switch greyed out for a buddy that's ex Google and knows way too much about how these phones work. Os and telephony sides. About 3 minutes later I get a reply from Verizon CS saying all Verizon phones come unlocked and asking me what I want to do with it. So I replied , I want to unlock this 700$ phone because I refuse to be a guest on my own device. No reply yet but isn't that weird how fast that reply was. I'll post any responses and if I'm in the wrong forum please move it mods.

OK so now I'm really feeling some I'll will about the reply I got , its not what I wanted to hear. There reply was 'we are sorry we are unable to provide you with any assistance at this time. Good luck with unlocking the bootloader.'
Thanks Verizon_CS
This is after telling me all 4gLTE phones come unlocked , well apparently I'm a idiot or Verizon just outright lied to me. Think I should press the issue with verizon more ? If it hassles them that's good enough for me , even if I get nowhere with them. Im a bit passive aggressive sometimes in life lol

Unlock and bootloader are 2 different things. Unlocks allows you to take the phone to a different carrier is what I think were referring to. Locked boot loader is something I doubt VZW will ever do out of the box or will allow.
Verizon phones are carrier unlocked, for now. They plan to start locking them again in the future. Verizion is the only carrier who prevents bootloader unlocking. What build number are you on?
