Donate extra play to get 4.2 and 3.4 kernel

Does anyone here have an extra play that they could lend to @mikeioannina? He us going to build 4.2 for us and 3.4 kernel but needs a play to do so. He did not ask me to make this thread I just thought there s got to be some people around here with an extra one hanging around (it didn't have to be fully working) that also want 4.2. I only have one or else I'd send mine. But I would love to see 4.2 on our plays and I'm sure many others would as well so if you have an extra please contact him about it

I have my old R800x. Its been untouched since I got my GsM model. Although I am sure hebwould want a GSM model. The bootliader was unlocked via code about two years ago.
Is he in the US?

No he's in Greece but I don't think he cares about what model it is since he's making a version for CDMA and gsm. Maybe he would be willing to pay for shipping if you sent him it? Try pming him and see what he says

Man this is awesome, I'd send mine, but it's the only mobile device I have
Also, I live in Italy, and I can confirm that here in Europe it's really difficult to get this device for € 200 or less
Hope he gets a device to work on, thanks abdel for opening this thread, and thanks ozzimanj for your availability

We have a site in romania, with veeery cheap phones, I found one for 79 euros that is perfect. Maybe we have someone from XDA here in RO that can buy it and send it to him ?

Possible, true. Unlikely though unless you are going though in excess of 5 gigs a month every month. I have been using 3-5 gigs a month for 6+ months, never even gotten a warning.

If they boot me, they release me from contract. Easy enough to put it in someone elses name and have new upgrade options. Would be doing me a favor lol.

But you wouldn't keep the same phone number. Well don't think they would. For someone like me with 6 years with the same cell # would be tough.

Z2 Root Update

Good Evening Folks
Sad news from the Camp. Ive also been given a Z2 locked with both BL and SIM.
Just to keep you posted, 360Root, Kingo Root & Vroot dont work.
I think Sony may have just made this thing Impenetrable

I'm not sure why they would lock it down so much. I'm a bit of an HTC fan boy, but the Z2 specs bettered the M8. I took a chance with Sony for a change because of this.
Reading through this forum has made me change my mind though, yes the phone is awesome, but I want an android phone so I can mod it how I wish. I can't own a phone on a 2yr contract without root!
Vodafone can have the Z2 back at the weekend and I'll have another look at the M8 or consider the S5

So Z2 does not have the possibilty of root? Any version?

At the moment only the ones with unlockable bootloaders can b rooted
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app

I have the M8 so im not exactly jumping to change. Im going to keep my phone for now, the Z2 will remain and ill get it unlocked etc, but all i need is root to be honest
Wonder if you can flash a rooted stock firmware ^__^

I've just been offered a fantastic upgrade deal on the z2, via Phones4u in the UK. The issue with root and bootloaders has me kinda worried. I too don't want to be stuck with a phone I can't root & flash. If I got a z2 with an unlockable bootloader, does this mean I can root and flash whatever I want? Roms & kernels etc?
As far as I know the z2 cannot yet be returned to stock for warranty issues either.
Z2 or wait for g3. Hmmm I need to decide

Quite sure they aren't.
Locked bootloaders = Phones bought on contract
The full price upfront ones are unlockable, in fact the process has been explained on the Sony developer site itself.

The problem is we can't backup the TA partition without root...
I'll soon have my Z2 and worried about this, I don't want to unlock the bootloader before I backup the TA partition but I need root also...

An exploit will be found when enough developers got this phone
Gesendet von meinem D6503 mit Tapatalk

I went to London yesterday and today and stayed over, and this phone is beautiful, espec... the CAMERA!
I want root, however i can sacrifice on the locked bootloader
I have the M8 so i can flash and mod to my hearts content!! I also have my unlock code ready to go just need a non Voda SIM.
I wonder if.... Unlocking the SIM suddenly triggers a BL unlock ^__^ (Kidding, This wouldnt happen in a million years)

I would also like to add, id be happy to test any root exploits!!

From what I know so far there is no way to root without voiding your warranty. By unlocking boot loader is the only way to use to backup. However unlocking the boot loader makes you lose the drm which you need for warranty service. So if you are not afraid to lose warranty and drm, you can go over to Sony website and it gives you a step by step guide to unlock the boot loader.

Think youve missed the point of the thread... We know that we CANT unlock the bootloader... We WANT to, but we cant root until someone finds an exploit

Bumping a bit.
I have a simlock free device, but i guess i will still lose the DRM-keys if i unlock, right?
If so.. heard anything new, if anyone have found an working exploit?
I will return my phone if this can't be fixed asap. =(

Thank you everyone for your interest. At this moment there's no more free unlocks. My process worked so if you're interested in unlocking yours you can PM me.

And he will start charging us. I will rather call Tmo and ask for unlock code, for free.

Can anyone post and verify it worked?

Yes If your phone been fully paid and been used for over 30-60 days then this is not for you. I clearly said that in the OP. This is only for people with financed, blacklisted, blocked phones etc.
