Has the attempts to unlock, patch Loki, and/or build a custom recovery for the US variants just halted. I mean last weekend some were talking as if they should have custom recovery working by the end of the weekend. I've offered to test or do anything to help with the process. I've gotten no response. No files to test no request to help or do anything. I don't know a lot about building custom recoveries or patching Loki or bootloaders. I'm more of a ROM builder/porter. And themer. My experience and know how lacks in those areas but I follow instructions very well and not afraid to test or try anything. But there doesn't seem to be any advancements with the US variants. Why? Where are we stuck at? And who is actually building or working on the Loki or custom recovery? I'm not asking for someone to tell me they know someone who is working on it. Or they know that "they" are very close. Who ever is working on it please let some of us eager crack flashers know how we can help. I am not near as talented as some of the people I've seen in this forum at this stuff and not claiming to be but with all of us helping maybe we can make some headway.

The thing is one guy is the one saying they're close. No actual dev has said they're close. Also, it seems this gotroot guy is the only one the devs talk to and apparently is the only one who can test it since they're waiting for him to get a phone back.... It all seems fishy to me. Neither shellnut or DJ have need mentioned anything also I spend a lot of time on gflex irc channel lately and have yet to see the flex even mentioned.
I quite trying to get flashing methods without a recovery because I thought they were closer, but I'm thinking gotroot is feeding us bs do in going to start looking back into it.

By the way autoprime and androiduser have both confirmed Loki is patched so not sure why gotroot is claiming the devs have Loki working
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk
To whom it may concern I was the one who tested for the g pro and the g.. I have stated that Loki is working. I have tested builds of cwm already. My ls995 is already running cwm. They will rls it when it's ready. They are making it user friendly so people will not brick there phone and start crying... the fact is everyone wants something for nothing. And the devs working on this have lives beyond your need of cwm. So calm down or build it yourself...
Its sad that you people are this way very sad.. I will not be testing anything else due to these comments. Everyone can thank these people

@Gotroot you've been here long enough to know that when only 1 person is claiming something and he's not even directly involved 99% of the time it's false. Neither dev had mentioned anything, only you, and they both post on the g2 forum. That adds up to suspicious.
Second, don't test anything. I've seen your profile. You haven't made a ROM or mod so you'll be the only one with a recovery, but nothing to use it for. Getting a recovery to everyone benefits you as well.
Now to your ridiculous comment if wanting something for nothing. My last ROM had 2300 downloads and I got 1 donation. That's with me making several custom items per requests. I even offered to make a custom theme for a guy here and when he asked how much to donate told him nothing. Now you claim to know a free unlock method and instead of posting a how to offer to sell it.... Seriously?)

Sad part is I bricked a phone tring to help you people and just because your not getting what you want when you want it you start acting like a bunch of pricks. I try to give yall hope that there are devs working on this issue for yall and you act like this, This will be the last time I speak of this and I hope he only makes it threw the donate ver. of freegee. This is by the worst I thing I have seen on here you should all be ashamed.
Ungrateful because I said I don't believe you. Are you slow? By the way posting a picture of a file in your computer named cwm proves nothing. Seriously ill gladly eat my words and beg for forgiveness if you can post proof.... Like a picture of it running on your flex like you claim it is.

Well there we go. That's the first proof anyone has provided. So whether it's working or not at least he's working on it. That was all I was asking for, gotroot said it's running on his phone but showed nothing. That's a big claim to not prove anything.
Like I said though. I was wrong. I'm glad to see a dev working in this. @Gotroot I'm truly sorry I doubted you. You know how people will come on here and make false claims so I felt your story was suspicious.... But I was wrong.

Fair enough, but if you're going to come in saying how it's working and you're already running it, then some proof isn't a crazy request. That's a huge step and claim and being the only one like gotroot and that he said last weekend and not a sound that doesn't seem like it's crazy to wasn't too see some proof.
By the way another hobby? I just want a recovery so I can test my ROM I've been building. I guess I could just stop and we could have a recovery with nothing to flash.
As for a new hobby me and gotroot were talking and someone showed proof. So I did exactly what I said and admitted I was wrong. What I'm trying to figure out is why you have anything to say after the fact and what you contribute besides pointless threads about speed tests?
And again asking for proof is not being inpatient so why do you idiots keep saying to be patient. It's being skeptical and not believing everything read on the internet, especially when only 1 person is saying it. However as shown gotroot seems I be telling the truth so again I am sorry to him for doubting him.

Oh trust me i understand and yea my threads maybe useless but i dont come on here speculating and being suspicious about anything because at the end of the day what am i going resolve proving weather he's lying or not better yet what would you have done if he was lying or not besides proving that o wow he's a fake a fraud and ruin his so call rep on xda what else would you have gain?
Nothing really but going out your own way on doing your own thing which hey if you don't or didn't believe him and think there's something suspicious going on then you should have just pm the 2 devs that are working on it "that you also had suspicious on just because they haven't decided to post or say any news on their progress" to give you what they have for you to test.
I know this is XDA and most times there needs to be proof shown if they as in them 3 that are actually working on it has their reasons so be it and im glad you stand up to your words and apologizing it takes a real man for that to happen but if there's nothing that we could do other then wait then so be it if the devs are only letting gotroot test things out for them then let it be and when its ready to be release then they will release trust me im waiting on this too since im a flashaholic.

I'll be honest I mainly wanted proof to know if I needed to continue trying to figure out the 2nd init I was researching as an option. It was going to take me a lot if time because I was going to be learning from scratch. I started to have suspicion and that's why I said it, I've always been the type to say what I think and to admit when I'm wrong (which apparently I am here).
Two things though. If one of the devs said they were working on it I wouldn't have even thought to question them, but when someone says they're using it and they're the only one mentioning it seemed funny. Second, now that proof was shown (whether needed or not) let's move on, wait patiently and enjoy this phone. I've said what I had to and now proved wrong apologized (and pmed gotroot so it's more personal then here).
On a side note I'd like to say sorry to everyone here. If you look through my old posts I'm usually much more political in my responses. I've been having a lot of stress lately and went to far in my replies.

Was wondering if there was any news or updates regarding the bootloader. Im thankful for all we have so far, plus im a donator to some projects so I help with what I can.

It almost makes me wish I wouldve kept my Incredible now that they have custom Roms running but the X is much more fitting and better for me. I felt the same way about the Incredible when I had it, didnt think Root was gonna make it and wasnt sure how long it would take to get custom Roms. I jumped ship because of that and a lil bit in part to bad battery life and soon after they got Root and now have custom Roms running. We just have to be patient as we have and hope that it soon comes. I agree with you and am thankful for what we have and we can play in the sandbox just not with all the toys.
Anyone know if the Unrevoked Team has gotten their hands on a DX yet? If not it might be time for another DX donation thread to give this Team a crack at the bootloader.
According to a post at the android forums, birdman is working on something that has to do with the mbm. It think it was Lexusbrian that gave a little tidbit that birdman might have some news for us in a couple of days from now. So be patient becuase it is being worked on.
Sweet. Well lets hold strong dx'ers, give support and donations, eventually well smash this efuse.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Considering how FAST we got root compared to the Dinc and how the whole "efuse" panic basically provoked folks into wanting a DX just to prove the bootloader can be hijacked, I think we'll have something soon.
Birdman has been shooting out some occasional tweets that suggest that he's working on it, as well as on FlyX. I expect we'll have a significant breakthrough soon (a few weeks, in my estimation.... I'm being conservative here... it could be faster), if not a working bootloader hijacking process.

Apparently the documents and code to do this are out there now. All that needs to be done at this point, is for someone to put it into an Update.zip format.
Apparently it involves some kind of exploit with NVRAND while Flashing a new baseband. I'd say within 2 weeks, our phones will be open.

The upgrading happens when dalvik cache is cleared. Sounds like there was an issue with dalvik. So yeah. Wiping/stock was probably your best bet it wiping/reflash didn't work. It could also have been a bad kernel flash.

Listen, whether you had a real problem or not is irrelevant. There will always be people that just like pissing on your cookies. If you hadn't experienced people like that in the past I want to congratulate you for finally leaving your house or connecting to the internet for the first time...those people are everywhere. The correct way to deal with them is to ignore them and then realize that everyone else in the world has dealt with them in the past. The incorrect way is to call attention to it and then cry about it in a very public way. Take this advice: Leave it alone and never bring it up again. It just makes you look pathetic and self-entitled to make an entire forum topic about it so you can "tell the world". The world already knows...I'm just sorry you didn't.

the post directly below the screen shot on their facebook says htc one jtag and communicating. That's not hacking.
If I remember right, I used them to repair a bricked HD2. It required being taken apart and the ROM flashed directly to the board. I think that was 40 bucks.
When I got it back the volume down stopped working. They claimed it was messed up when I sent it, which is partly true but it still functioned. When I got it back it didn't at all. They stopped responding to my questions and requests.
They got it working again but were a bit rude.. won't be using them again.

I don't understand why people are so heated about this, they're independent people who get to make their own choices. Android and open source in general have great traditions of devs doing their work for free, but that hardly means that every dev owes it to the community to work pro bono.
If you haven't donated to a dev on your own, you really shouldn't be offended about this.

If you want to understand why people are mad, you need to understand the culture a little better. Go read the GPL (and maybe other related open source licences). I'm not saying that it applies to this; just that open source is no where near as open as most people believe it to be.

Not necessarily, you don't make money if people aren't willing to pay. I can only assume that most people on forums like this are less likely to send there phone out to be s-offed,and just wait until one of these amazing devs posts a tutorial(once accomplished). If you mean they would make more money if they don't, by they are hoping people will brick there devices trying, then yes i agree then they would make a lot of money off of that. I do believe Share is Caring...unless its a completely original idea then charge.

No, but on stock ROM rooted you will still get the notification and it will still download but it will fail to install.

As long as you have a stock recovery and not a custom one you can take an OTA. You will probably loose root though.

How are you going to ask that but then not see his reply about him apologizing for not seeing it because he got the notification and came straight here. So get the hack out of this thread and quit trying to be cool by an attempted flame that already apologized AND answered your "flaming question" before you even ask it but then you ask why he didn't see something?

haha for real? here's a response formatted in the long run-on sentence structure that you like to use because I fear if I don't use it you won't get my point.
"How are you going to flame me but then go on to say that it's not cool to flame when you clearly don't understand what the point of pointing out this kind of lazy behavior is? So go troll somewhere else and quit trying to be some sort of pseudo mod by trying call out legitimate criticisms of other users because you don't understand that apologizing for doing something wrong while performing it doesn't make it right ESPECIALLY considering the facts the OP gave us about not turning his phone on for a week. Who would come on here and assume they are the first to get an update without thoroughly checking? and make a thread in the dev section so rashly? The OP would. So I called him out on it. So he won't be inclined to make the same mistake twice. I can only hope that this post will be as beneficial for you.
good day.

Atleast he is trying to contribute by uploading files.... Can't be mad at that even tho he's a little late to the party. It could have been much worse with a what's the best 4.3 ROM or a install question thread.

I really hate to be that guy, but this really doesn't belong in the development section.
Well hot dang....
I am currently on trip and have not turned on my phone on for the benefit of my family. I was in the airport when I first turned it on to see what I missed. Since it came up when I turned it on, I came here first as I've been dying for an update and I was willing to bet that others were in the same boat. I did what I would normally do with updates and download them and upload them somewhere for safe keeping. Then came here and posted my screenshots and moved on. It wasn't until I got into the plane that I saw that its been about a week, that its been out, and that development goes on with or without me. Sure I didn't have to apologize in advance and sure I didn't have to put the disclaimer at the bottom that if what i posted up was old news then please delete. I would of been fine with the thread being deleted or moved in which case it was. I've been here for so long and have contributed to numerous threads and development to know that if something new comes out, jump on it and share the info with the everyone. It wasn't to flame on the threads, it wasn't to spam and clutter the dev section. The mere fact that this happen show immaturity.
A simple note saying please move thread to general discussion would of suffice, not bring hatred and ignorance into a community that is devoted to acquire knowledge and to share it.
While some of us don't have that pleasure to get updates first, I have been blessed with having on time or in Moto case, Moto feedback team which I have always participated in. Again plain and simple I tried to help by providing info and supply for devs out there to work on. Yes It would of been simple for me to thorough look thru the threads and see whats been going on. And I did that after posting and did see that I was not first. Thats fine. It wasn't laziness that brought this, it was something that jumped on in the hopes to help out. But take the hatred else where as if your going to take offence in someone trying to help then you dont belong here, plain and simple.

Just wanted to do a tribute to fOmey, and all the good he has done here.
I know many are pissed about his decision to leave, but I totally understand why he left, and don't blame him one bit. (I know how it is from other projects I have worked on in the past). It takes alot out of you.
I know my gear would never be what it is today with out fOmey.
You have forever changed my Gear.
Thanks for all you have done of us all here. Our lives have been forever changed.
Good luck in the future. We enjoyed every min of your time with us.
Respect to you my friend!

Very much love given

Hopefully he goes private! I would be happy to pay for support and updates! Thanks for your hard work f0mey!
Emitted from my Note 3 and its sidekick Gear.
I will forever be grateful. If not for fOmey I would have $300 of regret adorning my wrist.
I too hope he goes private I will support for updates :fingers-crossed:.. @fOmey is still the man!!!!:good:
Good luck to you and thank you for all you have done.
Fomey you are the best wish I would have donated I agree only people who can read should use custom roms I found it annoying to read the same questions over and over again. I too hope you go private or make a comeback.

I was about to post this to the other thread, but that just closed so I'll say it here instead:
fOmey,
No matter what went down and no matter where your head is at at the moment, all I'll say is this: your work is awesome.
The bottom line is...what you have done for the gear...no one has done for the gear...and its not even close by a long shot. Which yeah, is really saying something because despite the occasional moron or 3, there are obviously some pretty damned amazing people here contributing to this community.
In my mind if this turns into nothing more than a donation thread for the remaining reslistically useful life span of the gear, be it 6 months or 66 months, then f0mey, you've earned it. Well anyway, here's mine:

Made back on November 11th, it's my first donation and definitely will not be my last.
One more time for emphasis - Thanks for all you've done!

I remember reading not too long ago that you were in between jobs, so let me suggest that one of the first things you do at that site is to make it easy to donate to you in support of your work.
I always thought it was pretty cool that this guy basically made a career of being unemployed:
http://www.oddtodd.com/
(Well at least he started out that way)
Whether its through donations or something else or both, that would be great if in the end somehow you were able to make a decent living doing what you appear to really enjoy doing..that is, cranking out terrific roms for the gear.

F0mey stop having a tantrum, this site is the place to carry on with your Rom not a private site of your own, at least here there is no chance of dodgy software and no not referring to yours however its better to keep all roms on XDA because unscrupulous software writers could do so much damage with spyware and stealing passwords, if a writer did this here they are shutdown right away, on a private site they just keep pumping out dangerous software.
Not everyone is an expert and even myself when I first installed the Rom struggled with the instructions and setout, it can be something as simple as a misdirected direction in flashing for me now I have flashed 100s of times if not 1000s from my S1, S2, S3, S4 you need to take a leaf out of the other designers book on here and cut the sarcasm, if you dont want to respond let someone else do it for you, this site is about sharing ideas and developing software, and of course a bit of coin in the pocket for the developers who are any good.
Good luck with the future ps I have just come back from 3 weeks in Brisbane and intend to go back to WA next year
Sadly it has happened before, with capable devs leaving xda and setting up their own websites.
It just takes a couple of really nasty people to upset the peace of mind of a dev. In Pauly's case an extremely talented mind. They in no way represent the majority of people on here.
I have now bookmarked his new site and will continue to follow him. If I was Samsung I would hire him immediately (take notice Samsung).
For those who caused this upset, and unrepentantly insist that they were right - shame on you, you have spoilt things for many xda followers.
Thanks Pauly
Cheers

Tantrum ? Psh, Im not expecting everyone to be experts.. Although I do expect them to read, especially if I spoon feed the information to them on the original post.
Its easy to stand on the side lines and say "whats the big deal, who cares if people ask for help".. you try reading through all those pages every morning just because someone is to lazy to read the original post of a thread. 60% of the pages in that thread were about bull**** "bugs" which were reported over & over & over again.. Eg. "bluetooth tethering doesnt work".
Whats the point of a development thread if there is no development talk going on ? You dont need to read it, the next guy doesnt either.. although its my job to, I have to verify theirs no bugs on the rom, I have to keep track of the thread.
I refuse to do it anymore, if people cant follow some simple requests I made.. why should I care ? I'm sorry others have to suffer, There are some great supporters & users out there.
It is what it is I will continue to develop, I will continue to support. At least this way I can manage the content.
