All,
Ok so as some of u may already know we were currently trying to get user "JockyW" to create an unlocker for the device..BUT due to his busy schedule it seems as if he has given up on the project. I mean i could be completely wrong, but im assuming thats what the issue is since there is no communcation.
So with that being said and with the suggestion of another user, i then took it upon myself to reach out to user "Cmonex" and see what he can offer us. Well after speaking with him and running some tests, he will be taking on the job, which to me is very awesome, especially since we all know that he is part of the very busy "EliteTeam" in the Diamond/TouchPro forums. I also asked for an ETA on the project and he said 1-2 weeks MAX!
NOW with all that being said all that i ask is that we send this guy a few bucks. I know i asked the same for JockyW but here i am confident and sure that we will have something shortly.
Remember its a donation so it can be as little or as much as you want it to be. ( and let me tell u this is no easy task..he was directing me the whole way and man what a process!! )
Thats all i got for now..i will keep everyone posted as we go along.
Later.
again i would be glad to donate to anyone that can do thisss. once i see a result tho..

thats all we ask..and im glad to see ur onboard with this!
when you say unlocker do you mean the Hard spl flash thing???
I'm new in this complicate world.
Actually there's no rom, no way explication to dump the rom and no program to flash the hard spl? Am i right?
Sure i'm gona donate something to the guy who'll developpe such things.
I have not given up on this. As a matter of fact I have just sent a few more files to test to oOkBa. At the moment I live in a timezone appr 14 hours ahead of him so communication is a bit async.
Hey jocky, thanks for checking in. I'm sure socal didn't mean anything negative. The snap/maple community isn't large, but I'm sure many of us are anxious to begin hacking our phones. Since I have no idea how to do this stuff, I'm just being patient. Just know that any work you are doing is appreciated and eagerly awaited.

Wonder if two projects would yield better results or a collaboration

jockyW and I are still working hard on this. The distance and time is an issue but we work around it. Nights for me, days for him, etc. We did more testing this morning (PST) and will continue some tonight (PST) after JockyW gets some sleep. We all need sleep.
We are closer than most think. I will keep you guys abreast of our progress. Custom cooks are right around the corner.
Thanks to JockyW for his amazing mind!
Thanks for your hard work guys
When ever you guys ready to try unlocking, send me the stuff. Since I think you have it based on my ROM, be the first to see if I can brick it, lol.
Status update: the SSPL and HardSPL which I sent to oOkBa for testing today seem to work fine. He will test it a bit more t'morrow and then I will publish it.
oh woooow ok!! haha if they do ill be makin a donation

Well it gets cold in the kitchen without fire
I asked ookba, but the unlocker and 6.5 roms are intertangabe on all Maples, or will there need to be different ones for different models? (ie an unlocker/ROM for the Dash3G, Ozone, and Snap [and different models of Snap {S521, S511, etc}])...?

I could be wrong but I'm guessing that since the Maples all have GSM and CDMA radios that they should be able to use the same program. It's not like there is completely different models like the touch pro 2.

Ok yea, so after 6-7 tough hours last night and 5000 miles of seperation, we got somewhere. Gotta love technology. Jockyw2001 is a machine and WOW does he know his stuff! I will be testing it today and if my results are accceptable, Jockyw2001 will release JumpSPL and HardSPL tomorrow! So far so good!
Get your attention? Hope so...
Ookba is about half way there for ordering a Snap S511 for cooking up ROMs on this particular device.
Anyone, any amount of a donation is beneficial.
The sooner he gets enough to order a S511 the sooner us American Sprint Users of the Snap can use Windows 6.5!!!!!!!
If you have anything to donate (even a S511 would work!!!) please send it his way.
Thank you for your time.

Didn't work. Lol.
Hey Ookba, here's a crazy thought. Why not just buy a snap for 50 bucks at your local Best Buy and return it within the 30 day full refund period? It's a little shady, but in the end your efforts to cook up a better rom for the snap will probably result in better sales for sprint and BB that far offset whatever repackaging/refurbishing costs that they will endure. Then you can keep your donation money for yourself instead of spending it on another version of a phone you already have.
anyways.. just a thought.

Well, donations have been slim to none for 6.5 on the S511. How many S511 users are there, 5? I can give you a test ROM if you're interested.
Just sent a small donation to ookba
Transaction ID #9RD14235YW5075845
Also I'm willing to give it a try a test ROM
Just sent a small donation to ookba too because I'm a new paypal user in China I cann't add funds to my account via my bank card, so pls excuse me so small donation.
Transaction ID #9GE73152RL476605J
I have a S511 and it is a brick cause I use a wrong way to flash it, I'm willing to give it a try a test ROM to save it, thank you ookba, thank you jockyw, thank you all.
If you can, pls tell me a link address to down it or via email:[email protected], thank you.

Thanks for the donation. It is HardSPL? Does the bootloader say 0.34.Hard? If not, you have to wait for an official ROM to be released.

I have bootloader the 0.34 hard, I need a test ROM which your said, thank you.
Black_V!per, can you please edit and modify the title of this thread as I have released a ROM for the S511.
So, I am considering getting this phone for Sprint. Is the hacking possibility totally gimped, relative to the GSM version? Can custom roms be used on the CDMA version? WinMo 6.5?
Thanks.
Over on PPCGeeks there seems to be indication that a custom ROM will be released very soon.
CMonex at PPCgeeks has a CDMA version in hand and it working on the HSPL. Once she gets that there are multiple roms fully cooked (obviously not tested though) for your pleasure. SO, its not gimped at all, we just have to wait for the HSPL break before having our little fun. The same as every other phone.
The good people of the CDMA Rhodium Elite Team are working on it. They provide updates here ->http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=78887.
It seems that cmonex has been working on it since mid-August, not too sure how much more time is needed. But I suggest we be patient, in the mean time show some love and donate to them HERE.

I wouldn't mind donating, but I wish they would post some updates. Even if there is nothing new to add, a "keepalive" update is nice to have.

Understatement of the year?
Hi my friends! I've written a private message to vilord, dzo and mssmison to report the current status of Android for our devices and this is what mssmison answered:
I'd love to help man, but my phone died a couple weeks back and I've been unable to get a replacement
Vilord and I had planned a lot of work on the Polaris, but without anything to test on it's not going to get done.

As you may already know, he is one of our best bets to a fully working Android. He has helped a lot, along with other wonderful people that bring us the best of their knowledge.
Well, I don't know how many of you donated money for this project, but it's definitely necessary to provide our developers with test devices.
I make a call to all of you that could help with a small donation for the cause. If you know where to buy a Polaris or you don't use yours anymore, please, notify us using this thread. The community will appreciate your help.
jamezelle has set up a donation link for him: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...e=Vogue Android Development¤cy_code=USD
Please, if you donate money, write down the amount and confirmation code in this thread to know how much money we've got.
Hi, SuperJMN.
I will donate if needed.
Already tried to flash -> a bit unstable, but Android will give second live to Polaris.
hi buddies
i will donate for sure if it helps
feel free to contact me

It's great you are supporting him! If only we could get more people to find him a good device... It doesn't matter if it's a very little donation. Many a little makes a mickle.
He's from Canada. Do you know anybody from Canada that is wanting to sell a Polaris? Maybe we could send one to him if we get enough donors.
it 's cheaper every week
maybe we can look on ebay

Wow, that's a good deal! Let's see what mssmison thinks.
Selling mine Polaris for 60 euro's, everything works.. Hardspl flashed, 6.5 rom etc.. I have a new phone, so my htc polaris is unused for a while now..
Interested? Pm.

I received a message from mssmison. I have just realized that his original device was a Vogue, not a Polaris Sorry, I misunderstood it.
Well, I'm going to change the topic of this thread to fit the reality. My proposal is this: now that a donation link is set up, we could use it to raise the numbers enough to buy a Polaris, too. If you make a donation, specify that it is to buy a Polaris.
I trust that mssmison will be honest and he will get one once he gets the money. I will send him a PM to inform about it.
He told me that he's going to use it as a test device and extra phone to develop for. This could make possible to fix things quickly!
You've got to take into consideration that Vogue and Polaris are similar devices, but not the same, and we have way less developers... I think this is the only mean to keep the dev scene alive.

Here is a link to the latest RUU from Sprint.
You cannot simply extract it. This still has root since it is a test release. I recommend just doing an adb pull of your system directory after you flash it. Don't do this when the final one comes out or else you might be stuck without root.
You will need to add busybox, patch sh and su, and make sure that you do another recovery image and such. I also recommend adding Superuser.apk and stuff. If you use the Desire build.prop, you can get most of the protected apps working.
Enjoy.

Damage, Glad to see you back and hope you stay. You have always been honest and forthright about the leaked RUU and why you wouldn't/couldn't release to everybody. It is so rare to run across somebody who embodies the highest qualities of honesty, integrity, loyalty, and generosity. You have shown that by sharing your information and talent with the community to help troubleshoot and refine the 2.1 update.
It is an atrocity that a few jealous ingrates have managed to destroy this and future opportunities. This is what happens when people expect everything handed to them, without having to work for or earn it. Whatever happened to personal responsibility, your word being your bond, helping someone just because they need it, not because you can get something from it, honor and integrity?? Welcome to the new America..........
Anyways, I hope you stay and continue your great work, if not, I understand that as well.....................

Ok, first off, lets say I have respect for the man.
Second, get off his nuts, and third he was most likely approached by someone who leaked the files to him in exchange for anonymity. He didn't work for them any harder than anyone else. He got boned for being trusting. It sucks and ruined a good thing for the rest of us!.
