How about a paypal account I think there is a way to set one up for somthing like this. Does anyone know how.
??
I dont know how to set one up here.....
But if we keep a running total, I am sure than whatever developer or developers that come up with a Root will have their own...
I dont see a developer getting involved until the funds are guranteed somewhere.
Good Point
Good point...Do you know how I would do that?
That is what I was thinking. I know for the droid they set up a paypal account for it I'm just not sure how they did it.
...
im looking on paypal....not really seeing an answer...gonna ask a dev over in old xperia forums...
Check this out https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/xcl/rec/donate-intro-outside not sure if that is it.
yeah but...

I have seen that...but here is the issue that I think could arise...
If I open an account, and have it be for donations, I have no problem there at all.
But that would be me asking everyone to trust me not to spend their hard earned money, you know what I mean?
I have no problem doing it, I am just saying people would have to trust me to hold the money in "Trust"
Easy get a mod to do it. -_-
I thought so....

Lets get this rooted. Count me in for $50.
Any body want to spread the word on some other forums.

You should also update the total in the title.
Good call, I will

Have everyone hold on to the money, and whoever roots it will create the account once its finished. Then everyone sends in the money to the guys account. Problem solved.
Still wont solve the fact that the dev may feel users wont pay up. I think best bet is to get XDA to hold onto the money. Sort of make it a hacking contest. Also maybe we could get it on the XDA Main page for everyone to see, maybe itll intrigue people who dont check our forum.

How much to donate to Overcome ROM v2.0.0 GOLD ◄► GINGERBREAD!!! ◄►
I've just upgraded to the Gold ROM and feel it's time to donate to the coffee fund. But how much is appropriate? Please help me by indicating how much you donated in this poll.
It's not just case of 'ill donate how much everyone else has' you donate how much you think they deserve.

Ummm.... this is a great idea, and I don't mean to be picky, but what if we gave, oh, say $35? How about $5? Don't want to hear from those people? Or how about those who gave in Ruples and have no idea how many dollars that equates to?
My point: you might want to revisit your ranges. At least to make them a little less rigid.
Hi, everybody!
I donate $ 10...
P.S.: i will offer other coffees in the future, if i can!

Just looking for a general idea, nothing scientific, people can round up or down as their conscience allows.
It's in dollars as that is what paypal asks for when you hit the donate button.
btw is "Ruples" that new RussoIndian currency? ;-D
Give him $50
Why not $100? Be generous, the overcome team is generous!
As far as I can see, this thread is only gonna go downhill.
Donations are not about how much you donate, they are a gesture of goodwill and appreciation. There is no need for anyone to know how much someone else has donated, the only people who need to know this is Team Overcome and they already know.
Against my better judgement Im not going to close this yet but be warned, if it starts to slide I will.
Donation generally means what you can give. There is no set limit. If you think its awesome and can only put in $5 then thats OK, if you can afford more then give more.

Donating is not tiping. The devs are saying "if you want to give us money for what we are doing, then give what you can".
If you can only afford to give 5.00, then give that, but if next month your electric bill is cheaper and you can donate more, donate what you can afford.

This thread makes zero sense and a mod should close it.
The value of a dollar will different to each and every person. Thus making donation amounts all over the place.
I mean, who asks this.
What next?
Go to a party and ask everyone.. so how much does your job pay you? /sigh

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

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...
Going to be creating a petition as an attempt to somehow get us a unlock for the device. I will update this periodically in the coming days and weeks.
Here is the link to the petition I have made.
https://www.change.org/p/amazon-unl...otloader-5884c88e-9ccf-4cdd-b2e8-846d03d294f1
UPDATE 12/27
Tomorrow I will be adding a link to the petition. With the holidays and everything going on things are quite crazy.
UPDATE 12/28
I have updated the post to include the link to the petition.
If anyone would like to include any specific wording in said petition please reply below stating so.
It's been done, never had an effect. Don't waste your/our time.

Look, I never agree with the guy, but Davey126 explained to you in the other thread. Even if you acquired an unobtainable amount of signatures, somehow got it in front of someone that mattered, and forced them to read it, they would ignore it. Plain and simple. If they wanted to unlock the bootloader, they would have done it at release. Oh, but a bunch of nerds want me to do it so they can sidestep the OS we designed for it. Look at the petition for the S5: 1400 signatures and didn't make a difference. The same can be said for every device this has been attempted with. I wish it weren't true, it's just not ever going to amount to anything...

You can ask google for meaning of a word
petition meaning
a formal written request, typically one signed by many people, appealing to authority in respect of a particular cause.
"she was asked to sign a petition against plans to build on the local playing fields"
synonyms: appeal, round robin, list of signatures/protesters
"about 7,000 people signed a petition objecting to the scheme"

I have $50 dollars to any developer that can unlock bootloader and give root access.
Any other sprint 997v8 is welcome to pool our money together and encourage the powers to be to focus on this.
i add 25 also for root.
but i dont have too much hope many of the developers has move to different device.so theres not too much development on the v20 anymore especially on the sprint variant i believe because the lack of kdz or tot file.
but anyway theres still hope.
