Donate My Crushed G1

Please be kind to me as this is my first post on XDA although I have been reading and utilizing these forums for quite some time. If this question has already been addressed, please let me know. I have already searched the forum and was unable to find anything on the subject but perhaps I wasn't as diligent as I could have been.
I left my G1 on the roof of my car and it fell off and was run over by a car. I already ordered a new one which will arrive in two days (I do nightly nandroid backups so all is well in that department). I would, however, like to donate the crushed G1 to one of the developers on this site so that they can salvage it for parts. Believe it or not, I was actually able to boot to the recovery screen and do a wipe (Alt-W). Obviously I could not see this as the screen is crushed but it rebooted after I hit Back+Home so I am pretty certain that there are some valuable working parts for someone who knows what they are doing.
I have taken advantage of the ROMs on this forum for awhile (Kavana's WinMo 6.1) as well as How-To posts (Apps2SD, Rooting G1, Nandroid, MAM, etc.) and countless other posts to keep my phone in perfect working order, and would like to give at least a little back to the hard working developers here. I would like a moderator to assist me in getting the phone into the hands of the right developer. I am sure it has some value to someone. I am pretty certain that the motherboard is in working condition as well as the keyboard and various other parts (it still vibrates on boot). I don't know much about hardware as I am largely a developer and a user. I don't want to take it apart only to find out that I have ruined what was once a good part. Ebay was an option but I figure that I will actually get more value out of donating it since XDA is literally my lifeline and smartphones would just plain suck without this site.
Please reference the attached photos. Sorry they are not so great. They were taken on my Dash because I was too lazy to take out my good camera.
Post replies here and we can go from there.
Thanks,
Aaron

Cool I'm sure someone will find this useful. You might want to save the battery so you have two

heres a solution

I believe you should donate it to one of the members working on finding the jtag pins so the people who were effected by the spl brick might have a second chance

Amazon sells them as well for about $7 + $3 for shipping.. OEM, safe..never had issues..

I am keeping the battery which still works. Now I have three! The battery door is crushed too. My goal is for the phone to better not just one person in need of parts but the community in general. If a developer can use this to help out the rest of us it will have been worth it. Like I have stated, I am not sure what use it will be but I am sure that someone out there can utilize it for the benefit of the rest of us.

Donate it to one of the big Devs, EX: JesusFreke, Cyanogen, The Dude, JAC, Etc...

A battery from HTC directly (after they first tried to deny my warranty status) is 37, shipping included.
As for a crushed device, I should try to find one in that condition since emulator will not run on my laptop. More or less the process goes make a program or update, open my sd card, load it, try it, improve it on the computer, delete the sd card copy, move the new one... very agravating.
Not to mention if you plug the device into the computer right, you can load your device AS the emulator (but I don't really want to do that to my "daily driver")

I would like to suggest a moment of silence to honor your G1.

[BOOTLOADER UNLOCK] Sign the petition and help get our G4 bootloaders unlocked!

It's been previously posted before, but this needs to be shared more widely and thoroughly. This is the only somewhat way we've advanced in being able to unlock our bootloader, we NEED more people to sign this petition. If LG sees what we've done and how far we've pushed with this petition so far they have to consider it, or atleast give us a message back on everything. Even if they deny, this petition is still enough to get us noticed by developers and people much more well equipped to crack the bootloader and then release a tutorial or program able to do it for us.
If LG sends us a statement refusing to unlock the bootloader, then that's more than enough of a reasonable cause for other developers and people who can crack it to get involved. It would probably cause an uproar in the LG community here on XDA either forcing LG to reconsider, or encouraging other people to help us.
PLEASE SIGN! Lets make progress in getting our bootloader unlocked!

can this be posted in general android section? or must it be here in the G4 section? i think more people look ar general android..

Also me and my wife have both posted the petition on oit face book pages a few of my friends that dont even know what a bootloader and such is signed just cause i asked them to. I might even trybto post it straight to lgs facebook page. We need more than just xda. Face and twitter are main stream media. Your thinking small time lets get this on the 5 oclock news. Push this as far as possible. I mean i know lg will never unlock it. But eventually someone will find a bypass. People hack the c.i.a. the f.b.i. But aparantly lg has better security than them lol. You go lg. Not

There has been many emails sent all the same. They have no intentions on unlocking any other g4s.
I know nobody wants to hear it but. I feel now that the g5 is out this is a outadate smartphone and i feel every company should provide unlocks for outdated and outa waranty devices. But hopefully some one figures somthin out on the g5 and it may work for g4 then but prob not. I wont say never but i most def aint buyin lg for a long time

I wont being buying LG either unless they make a very good quality phone again. But in all honesty this phone with the 60fps alone kills other phones completely. I own the S7 now along with the S6 edge and the camera on this with the 60fps mod is very comparable to the S7's. Only huge difference is stability and zoom. Im very happy with the G4 and its a great home use device for me, but the S7 is my daily. I would buy LG again but I need to see better build quality and more customization like S6 or S7.
To extend on the warranty thing you said. G4's are still very much under warranty lol I picked mine up early January. So they are still selling G4's out there meaning they wont lose warranty for at least another year, which could mean no bootloader unlock officially from LG until then but who knows in all honesty. Id like to work with a dev on this and get us unlocked but thats very hard to for free now a days.

i will stick with my H818N until arive Samsung Note 6 (dual-sim) ... then i wish to never hear about buying LG phone ....

Phone hardware manufacturers are only obligated to do a carrier unlock (usually called a SIM unlock) if you buy the device outright or if you complete your contractual obligation, and only for phones manufactured in 2013+. There is no requirement for them to unlock the bootloader.

Can the Redmi 3's bootloader be unlocked without Xiaomi's approval?

Does http://en.miui.com/thread-254886-1-1.html work for the Redmi 3 as well?
Or http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/guide-unlocking-mi4c-bl-verification-t3336779 ?
(or can they be made to work with the Redmi 3?)

Is it safe to assume that flashing unlocked redmi3 emmc_appsboot.mbn will help?
Haven't tested it though

I'm also hoping for an answer to this. Really considering buying this phone tomorrow, but I don't want to have to request the privilege of using something I bought the way I want to.
All the information I have found so far mostly talks about using the official unlocking method, but then there are bits of other information that suggest you may be able to get around this, with nothing concretely stating it.

I'm hoping to buy the phone in person tomorrow, so it's not likely I'd get my code in time. Also I'm entirely against this practice of begging to use your own purchased hardware in the way you choose.

Its not begging. It's a security feature For the example, if someone steals your phone, they wont be able to easily take off all the locks to use/sell it. So yeah, its a great solution and one can always wait a bit.

Some people have had their requests denied, it's begging. I appreciate the security concern, but that's not reason enough to lock people out of their OWN phones, just because you want to lock OTHER people out of them. I'd hardly call it a great solution, best solution would be to have the bootloader unlocked and let us lock it by choice which THEN requires a hassle to unlock.

You do realize that most people don't care about that, hence it is locked by default? I do not see how it is great solution to unlock it by default
About denying it, some people dont put in a proper reason (or give some random reason) why they want to unlock their phones, so Xiaomi keeps the idiots away from bricking their phones (I suggest you looking at miui forums. People keep bricking their phones).

Another user seems to have mentioned that the chances of getting an approval has to do with making use of the Mi account so......
And how is 'most people don't care about that' a good argument? Protecting them from thieves (and themselves, I guess, as you've also said) is a much better reason/excuse.
Anyway the world of smartphones went well with flagships (, etc) using unlocked booloaders for years so why is the change suddenly needed?

Oh, that user was just talking non-sense. I registered on miui, I requested permission (did not even have phone at a time) and I got that permission few days later after I received phone.
How is it a bad argument? Most people are just normal users. They do not care about roms, recoveries and stuff like that. They just want a working phone and, if xiaomi would open a massive security hole by default, it would be bad.
How many flagship devices have you owned, if you don't mind me asking? The last time I checked, pretty much all bootloader's are locked by default (even Google Nexus phones are).

I'd be interested in this, whilst I agree that the bootloader should be locked the process should be far more simple than what Xiaomi currently offers.

Agreed. Though I would say if people do want to unlock without approval that is at both the owner's right and risk. Especially here on XDA as opposed to the MIUI forums.

Agreed. But anyone who bought that phone signed up for this. That's the main reason why I'm trying to calm everyone down
And honestly, comments which are saying that "we have to beg for permission" are ridiculous. If you really want to unlock the phone, you will wait for those 10 days. It is really not that bad. Plus, you will get a bit more friendly with MIUI, which I actually use as my main driver and I honestly believe that it is not that bad

Well, there I think we disagree. Some will want to use their phone asap or not want to be bound by Xiaomi's restrictions, rightly or wrongly. If there is a method to bypass it XDA would be the place to publish, test and feedback on it, with the usual disclaimer about bricking/losing the device.
And speaking personally, I want to throw CM/stock android onto my Redmi 3 as soon as I get it. I'll either try the workaround or wait, using my old phone instead.

I'll have to disagree here as well. If that was to happen (some sort of bootloader lock bypasser) it would happen in chinese forums, where most of the stuff comes from anyway. If you take a look at all the roms/recoveries published in here, they are, mostly, a reposts from miui forums.
And considering that every gold member on miui forums, who are actual devs, get priority for bootloader unlock (get key in like three days), they really will not bother developing something like that. Its just so much unnecessary hassle. They might as well just keep investing their time into fixing bugs on current custom roms
Honestly, we could continue this discussion for days. But currently, the only way to get your bootloader unlocked faster is becoming a gold member on miui forums or just waiting for ten days.
Any other discussion on this topic is not worth anything. We will give hundreds (or even thousands) of reasons why they should do things differently, but they will still stick with their current policies. Just like MediaTek does. They are supposed to releases their sources, but they won't. And nobody can do anything about that.
So I will return to my previous point. Anyone who bought this phone knew Xiaomi's policies. If someone does not like that, they can always buy phone from a well known brands. Of course, paying at least two times the price of what we are paying for this phone.
After all, I dont mind paying less and waiting 10 days for the well spec'd phone rather than paying twice and get my bootloader instantly unlocked.

Had ever major Samsung flagship device except the note 7 and now the s8 plus. Gaining root and finding exploits and bugs is kinda my secret hobby now exposed lol.

Thanks! the hard brick on the one plus one was due to me flashing colorOS which is a Chinese OS for the OPO. I did something wrong and it hard bricked. I took it apart, removed the battary and did my Odin like setup to get back to CM12S before this was a tada look at this recover it was dead and not responding with 100% battary life prior to the brick. Took me all of 3 hours to fix it. to me that's a hard brick that I revived lol. An uncommon HB for the OPO with only 5 others with the issue. Least at the time.
I know I could find or help aid in the search for root and so on if I had an s8 plus. I'm so so close to having enough cash for one. Been trying to get the gofundme thing off and going so I can get to work on finding a solution

I took it apart, removed the battary and did my Odin like setup to get back to CM12S before this was a tada look at this recover it was dead and not responding with 100% battary life prior to the brick. Took me all of 3 hours to fix it. to me that's a hard brick that I revived lol. An uncommon HB for the OPO with only 5 others with the issue. Least at the time.
I know I could find or help aid in the search for root and so on if I had an s8 plus. I'm so so close to having enough cash for one. Been trying to get the gofundme thing off and going so I can get to work on finding a solution

lol again, its not hard bricked if it was fixed with a simple battery pull but by all means lol..
i just dont think someone should donate an S8+ to anyone other than an experienced dev as well as I dont think anyone would be willing to do that either lol
in all reality someone doesnt even need the phone to find exploits/root and trust me it is not easy.. experienced devs take a long time if even ever to come up with exploits and it has only got more difficult..

I'm quite serious about doing dev work. Not that you may be or may not be referring to me, but in any case, even tho I have a low level doesn't mean I don't have an education, a brain crammed with knowledge and a yern to see future development. I'd love to contribute all I can since I know a decently fair amount about Samsung devices in particular and going through alot of code. Sorry if I sound "noob" but as Ive said, I've got more free time than Obama while he was in office. As sad as that is to say.

I fully agree that it is difficult, but with all respect, the s7 active has been out for a year give or take and no one aside from me has and any luck with flashing a nonexynos rom from a different carrier on it and having it work well with the exception of the lack of 3 buttons. Yes echo rom works but so do some others as well. I'm not asking for a free phone to mess around with, I'm looking for help with donations to get my hands on one. To be real with the not needing a device to do root and find exploits, im more of a hands on kinda guy and by that I mean device in my hands lol.

We should encourage people to help development, regardless of how significant or insignificant. This is the exact reason random people and developers don't put **** out for these phones. People never have anything nice to say! Even if you know the guy has absolutely no chance, why does that hurt you so much that you essentially have to say he's stupid and point out his mistake?

no one has called him,stupid except for you in your post.. if anything I am saying good luck and ifcppl want to give him a free phone then by all means lol
and to add some actual facts to your post, some devs will not work on certain devices because of fake wannabe devs lol.. jcase refused to work on the LG V20 for example because there was some fakes claiming they were devs and taking ppls domatioms when all they did was steal other ppls ideas and work..
its not unheard of for xda users to help eachother out by letting him know its not as easy as 123 and simply getting a non snapdragon rom to flash on the phone.. again, if ppl want to give an inexperienced user a free phone or donations to buy a phone instead of a proven and tested dev then by all means go ahead.. its a free country and everyone is entitled to their opinions.
I was saying the opposite of what you incinuated, i am trying to bring more real devs over here by implying any free phones or donatioms should go to them as we'd have a significantly better chance at obtaining root down the road this way based on what that guy has been saying

lmao people grow tf up

yea bro, grow up lol.. or give him your s8+ so we can root this phone

If I can jump in now, I am a bit slow yes, but I have an education and I've been messing with computers and tech since I was 2. I do agree with the comment of not bashing and getting " more experienced devs" on the matter but them devs were once in my shoes....sure theirs some fake bs ones out here but I say to them m.t.f.o.m.f I cannot begin to tell you of how many times I've had ample times to jump in and help on an important matter for development and chose not to for comments like what I read. Not just on here but on the opo forums as well. No it doesn't hurt me, but the shere lack of wanting to aid and this dude over here knows more and therefore should acquire one first is absolute bunk and just WOW lol. Kinda remember why I deactivated my old xda. Anyways, if anyone serious about development wants to help me prove to these "superior athletic guru types" I have a link in my profile. Damn shame when someone wants to seriously offer help for a,community but as soon as my computer lingo doesn't match, its fast to bash. Instead of pointing out my poor computer English why not just ask what I meant? Everyone is fast to judge these days.

Hello people i open this thread for all people like me that for a mistake or not a good information hard bricked his smartphone, i see that a lot of user found in my same situation, so at this point is a case to found someone that can finaly unbrick this phone.

Unfortunately, LG is probably the last one to offer assistance in this manner.

Has anyone tried the ebay JTAG services? The salesman on ebay is telling me that he is going to be able to fix my H872 and restore it back to stock using the JTAG method. Should I trust it? the link is: https://www.ebay.com/itm/282455524193?ul_noapp=true.

unfortunatly this person doesn't ship to italy, btw if you have paypal why not..if stolen you mobile you will full refunded by paypal...i read in some thread that medusa box pro lg have all latest smartphone for the repair and the unbrick..if we found someone that have it we can try to fix it by tiemviewer and of course we will pay...it is very sad that nobody find a way to unbrick this smartphone..especialy now that a lot of user root this smartphone and bricked like i do...of course is not mistake of the root...but is our mistake because we do know very good what to do.. all people that have lg g5-g6 and v20 have a smartphone in his home that cannot use and this is sad..because make you to buy a new smartphone especialy in this time that money are not so good...

Ill just wait to see if anyone else has found a solution.
