I have a f&f code available - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

I'm looking to give the code away to someone with knowledge in development.

I really don't like getting involved or talking about other people's business, especially in a setting like this. I have a Pixel 2 XL and it is being said that he has some personal/life issues he is taking care of. The reason why I'm stating this is so that "EVERYONE" won't start PM'ing him. "IF" he is addressing his personal life, the last thing he needs is a ton of PM's from here!

Good point. Thanks for posting this info.

I just want to say, @phhusson is doing one heck of a job over in the [DEV] Project Treble generic ASOP thread. He has an Essential Phone and there is also a thread in Essential Android Development. He only has one phone and it's his daily driver. If you want to read up on it, you'll see that "HE" is making a tremendous amount of progress, in a short amount of time. If anything, he seems to be committed to making this work. Just something to consider!
Here is the Project Treble thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...pment/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659/page35

Essential does not currently offer international shipping. The f&f code can only be redeemed directly with Essential.

So the other option is to have someone do it and mail it. Possibly the people who are offering their codes. @shooterlgk and/or @enrunn?

Yeah, unless Motorola gave them to the site then I would say everyone should avoid the linked site at all costs.
Someone delete this thread.
these were not hoarded at all. i got them from various friends and peeps on twitter and now giving them back to the community. If any other android news website does a giveaway it's cool but if a new website does it it's called hoarding. seriously guys .
@munchy_cool they don't deserve anything from you, ungrateful and rude bunch. They obviously haven't read any of your articles and reviews.

Thanks Munchy. I'd like to apologize for these fools, since ignorance seems to be more prevalent with each new XDA "member".
Wow, so this is what it's come to? XDA has really changed from the time I joined. I know Munchy from outside of XDA, and I would stake my account on the simple truth that he was actually going to give the codes away.
Nice job guys, really. Mods need to delete this thread, because he's made it pretty clear outside of XDA that he's not giving the codes away now.

Great site. I got bored, so I just went there. I thought this thread was going to get ugly, that's why I said "someone delete this thread". And to those who said that he did this for ad revenue, I looked at his site, and there are all of 3 (non obtrusive) ads.
I bet they wouldn't complain if it was engadget or something that did the giveaway.

the first load takes some time but it should be faster the next time.I will read on how to make it faster, already have wpcache but maybe need to tweak the settings.
I do this for a hobby, not for making money so if and when I make money from ads that will go back to the community in forms of gadget giveaways and not into my own pocket as I earn enough to make a good living.
BTW thanks for the support.

An hour ago Sony released Android N developer preview for Xperia Z3 which has almost the same specs as OnePlus X. Can it be ported? Let's make a team and find out!

I was going to open a thread to talk about this, glad you guys already have.
It has been already ported to the Z2, which also shares the same cpu. Those are great news.
Someone with the enough knowledge should be able to bring it to us, or some dev team.
I'd be more than grateful to help as a tester at least.

I'm trying my best... I've been fighting depression lately and I habeny fell the same way about anything.
Ever been numb before? Its sort of like that. Like your life is a nightmare essentially
I hope to see my projects take off, but it may be awhile before I feel the same.
AOSwellP had repos and I did work on it, and did make a ton of progress, but everyone's disposition that I was copying others work got in the way and I never felt the same way. That said, AOKP has seen an Uber build which I hope makes up for it. I asked if anyone wanted to see a custom AOSParadox kernel and no one did. Never said it would happen. MR will happen, but we can't figure out why it boots to download mode. I don't think Davy, Naman, or I could even guess what's causing it. I'm going to look into it when I feel better.
N on the other hand, should be easy.
I assure you that I am not a troll. Just someone who wants to learn a thing or two. I've spent days working on things coinciding all of my courses. I've been trying. Trust me.
I will stay true to my word, and try my best.
I think another thing all of us get caught up in is that this is just a phone. Could drop it tomorrow and it would be gone.
Not to hint at anything, but after I tie up loose ends here, I have much bigger plans...

Where are the ROMs?

This might be a dumb question, but i'm quite certain i'm not the only one wondering. Is anyone working on any ROMs for the v20? I know jc cracked root and recovery fairly quickly. Is anyone working on any roms? I'd love to test out Cyan ....its been years.
Pretty sure LG hasn't released the source code yet, and we still don't have the dll needed for unbricking using LGup. It's only been a month since the phone was released, chill.
I think once we get a way to flash tot/kdz people will be more willing to experiment.

I can't speak for anyone other than myself,but,it's generally considered rude/needy asking for ROMS & ETA's for such.If you don't believe me take a look around XDA & the rules for all who enter here.
Seriously,only one model has an unlockable bootloader ATM & it has only been available officially since 10/28/16.
On top of that,Android 7.0 is a new OS with only a handful of phones running it,so,you may wanna temper your expectations for development a bit............................

Perhaps you can show me where i asked for an ETA??? Seriously though, i'm not trying to be rude or demand anything. I simply asked if anyone was WORKING on roms. I didn't say "WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT?!" or anything like that. Delete it if you want, i was just curious to see if/what people were working. Someone above nicely informed me that certain software was needed before anyone could start developing, which makes sense.
What doesn't make sense, is calling me childish, selfish, etc, for asking if anyone is developing anything. It's so ridiculous that i can't ask a simple question without people jumping down my throat. I've been on this forum for almost 10 years and it didn't used to be like this.
LG is not a very popular brand that does not attract devs. Even the Pixel doesn't even have roms. The days of roms are numbered sadly.

I understand that the second screen caused problems in the V10 development. That'll likely be an issue with this phone as well.

Here's my take on it. For one why would anyone buy a device like this to put cm on it? Like seriously that would be just silly. That's what nexus devices are for! I highly doubt there will be many roms that aren't just the standard stock debloated/deodexed. And those aren't even features. My advice is stay stock and use xposed if it comes out. I highly doubt there's gonna be any ground breaking features added to any rom.
Plus all the devs are switching to iPhones now! lol

Reddit user claims to be able to unlock Verizon bootloader

Saw this on reddit today and figured I'd share. Assuming he's talking about 7.1.1 since it's pretty well known that dePixel8 can unlock pre 7.1.1. Having a hard time believing it...
Interesting
I dunno he might ask for money so I'm sure this is a troll
Well since they did not specify the version of Android they were on, it may be real or they are mistaken and didn't know about the older method for 7.1.
If it was BS, they would have included 7.1.1 in the post because it was gather a lot of attention.
Has anyone tried reaching out to him to see if it's legit?

He just responded to my message. I specifically asked if he was claiming to be able to unlock a Verizon pixel on 7.1.1 and he said "yes thanks"
I'm calling bs for sure.

Yeah... I'm not buying it.
As the old cliche goes, "the proof is in the pudding". He said he'd post on XDA last night, and there's nothing so far.....
Yeah sorry - I've been busy with work, life, and much more. I'm happy to share my method with anyone on XDA who currently has a Verizon Pixel and is on 7.1.1 with a locked bootloader. Also, I'd really like to limit this to those who are actively trying to exploit the bootloader and would benefit from having an unlocked bootloader (testing purposes, etc). Feel free to reach out to me here or on reddit.
I'm not asking for any money, and I'm not asking for any donations. My method will never be sold, nor is it worth any bug bounty. It is a limited use method though, so if everyone uses it, it will eventually stop working.
To be transparent: It's not a true unlock by any means. It requires a bit of craftiness. My intention of posting the OP was to get unlocked devices into the hands of anyone who is going to try to exploit the bootloader. I'm just a casual at this and haven't done a lot of hardware hacking in my 15 years of development. (While I'm looking, I have yet to find anything).
I've updated my reddit post to include my xda username for anyone who wants verification.

@social-design-concepts, @blueyes,

I have a locked and an unlocked pixel, i'd be interested in testing it.

I'm limiting the method to actual developers. You've stated in your message that you're not a developer.

I'd like it to test it out and post results (not method) if you would like.

Bruh I said I built Roms for myself, and I'd be willing to post them on my own.

I think he/she is looking more for recognized devs.. Thats what I took from his/her reddit post. Anyone can say they are but he/she asked for some type of proof..
NalNalas said:
I mean I'm pretty sure I've made posts before about making Roms? I did it for my G2. I also have stuff from the dude I asked awhile ago. Idk what proof to post honestly.

He's looking for someone like @jcase.
