Nope why would it be, exynos based phones will continue to have custom stock roms and kernels.

No. The entire premise of the silly article was false and made on hastily drawn conclusions from misunderstood incidents. Nothing has changed

Apologies, I did not intend that to be dismissive. What I meant was that the Note8 SamFail thread has all of the details as to what happened and what came of it.

That's okay, my original reply was a bit vague lol. I'll have a read, I do remember someone posting not long ago about devices being bricked when changing bootloader or something like that but didn't really follow the thread much, wasn't sure if it was connected to that.

[Q] Root Block: Intentional or Bug?

Cyanogen is saying its a bug. Tmo is saying its a feature. which one is correct?
If it is indeed a bug how would tmo go about fixing our phones? mass recall? sweep under the rug?
If its a feature, is it a precursor to what future phones will be?
Either outcome isnt very good for the consumer and may lead to lots of lost customers for tmo. Specially after tmo releasing a statement that its a feature of the phone.
I love this phone, the very first smartphone i ever had, and was really looking forward to hacking around with it but its hard to justify such a device that locks you out of such features. I hope cyanogen and all the other great devs work out a solution to this problem. I dont want to send it back.
looked for similar threads and couldnt find any.

People are being jerks for sure, but OP, you should search better cuz your question has been answered in several threads. The short of it is NO. It is not a bug in the sense you are thinking. It is an intentional bug which tricks linux (android os) into thinking writes to the system files during root are being made when in actuality, the writes are only being written to cache. Once the cache is cleared during reboot the root access is erased because it wasn't actually written to the system in the first place. It's not a bug that needs to be fixed. It's a bug that was placed there to fool the system and make permanent root more...challenging.

There is a very informational Wiki out. Check it out. It will get you up to date with all the work that has been done towards root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
The important part of the question.. for me.. is whether the Z has the same bugFeature.
I see one random user saying that they flashed a G2 rom on a Desire Z and nothing more. Have I missed something? Kinda hard to say yay or nay based solely on that.
"Intentional Bug" ????
If it's intentional, it's NOT a bug.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Thank you XfooYen for the info. I did a quick search before I posted(the posting page even searches similar post before you publish them) and found nothing similar. I will make sure to search more thoroughly next time.
I am familiar with the current situation with root, I just though that if a well known developer like cyanogen thinks that its a bug that maybe the readers of xda might want to discuss his possible ratonale for such a statement, then again that may not have been what he was trying to say and got it misrepresented by the media. Instead I saw nothing but irrelevent and pointless posts. For a second I thought this was gizmodo or engadget.
Thank you again. Its good to know that xda has readers who actually know what they are talking about and not just the average troll.

Its also another android site that has posted it looking for easy site hits. The only evidence we have seen so far is the leaked butterfly rom and that some HTC people are testing 4.2.2 thats it. No release date no other leaks.

That guy is another story. I do thank OEMs for some of their choices, just some.
Also, I look at it in this way:
If I return something I am overdue with, which reaction would I prefer from the lender?
A: Thanks man, try not to take too long again next time yea?
B: Well it's about time, don't do that again next time yea?
I'd feel better with the response from A. But I understand there are cultural differences that makes people think B is also a very reasonable choice, so I'm not trying to accuse anyone of anything negative with respect to that.

So now that finally the Official ROMS would be rolling out, how can we keep ourselves updated to know asap when they get released?
So we can get Quick Charge? Sorry noobs question.

Unfortunately no Quickcharge is a feature that can only work if the phones hardware has that capability. In the RedMi Note 4 that isn't present. So flashing a custom ROM won't provide you with that feature either. Click "Thanks" if I helped

The Note 4 has a Snapdragon 625 CPU which supports QC 2.0. Xiaomi just didn't add the drivers that enables it.
