Just wondered if anyone had considered creating torrents for things instead of posting links to upload sites or having to worry about having to host things on a private server. This could solve a lot of problems and make downloads much faster for everyone. Linux users probably already know that many of the linux distro sites offer torrents just for that reason.

I think they like to track the # of downloads, I don't know if you can do that with Torrents.
Another reason is, such as with the bamf previews, they can take them down. On a torrent they do not have that option.

This was suggested a couple months ago. I seeded BAMF and BAMF Remix 1.6.3 or something for a couple weeks and posted it in the BAMF thread because people asked but no one used it.

Why should they really care if they can take them down or not? If there is a problem with the ROM and it is bricking everyone's phone, just make a new sticky that says "Don't install this". This whole recurring theme about "don't re-post the ROM cause you might piss off the devs" is kind of silly.

Because they were strictly previews, and it was stated as such that they would only be available for a short time. And honestly if a dev wants control over their Rom and where it's located, well more power to them.

So we are rooting our phones against the wishes of our carrier and manufacturer but don't want to upset a dev by posting their rom where folks can download it faster? We do the same thing with most all other applications on the internet without regard to the original developers. Firefox has retired Firefox 4 but you can still find plenty of places on the net to download it.

Way I see it, the devs have the right to request that no one mirror their roms for what ever reason, be it tracking downloads, ability to take them down (again for what ever reason) or just plain being a ass. If people dont agree with that request, they can and should feel free to download a different rom.
Also with torrents, can you really be sure you are getting the correct file? how many people actually check the md5 before trying to flash the rom? Keeping it in the control of the dev insures, at least partially, that the download is correct.

Or we can continue with the spirit that makes the internet great including things like custom ROMs, and do whatever the hell we want to do.
This code is owned by Android / HTC. Did the devs get their permission before they modified it and posted their custom ROM?
Please, this whole "lets don't upset the devs" is getting really old. XDA is full of a bunch of dev ass kissers and smart ass devs.
If someone is too dumb to generate a MD5 then that is their fault.
As stated above, torrents are a bad idea when it comes to flashing a Rom. Also if you do ever upload a Rom anywhere make sure you ask the developer first no matter whether you think you should or not

"US i500" = Mesmerize? Or Showcase? Or Fascinate?
Its EXPLICITLY for exerienced people. Hence "For developers only" not noobs.

OP. Hasn't a clue. Was to respond to a simple question. Oh and he was told that by a Mesmerize dev.
Noob huh? LOL! I've been hacking phones since my Audiovox CDM8450. I may not be a "Developer" but I know my way around phones and am far from being a "noob". If you KNOW it breaks stuff don't you think you should post that as a warning in the OP? Also you stated to PM you for a password when the file is not even password protected (and you call me a "noob").
I got the rom to some experienced rom hackers, and they haven't complained
The file is to protected, mediafire requests a password. the second file isn't, thats a changelog.
I didn't think I'd need to tell a dev, that is won't work out of the box:|

Password is there now, wasn't earlier for some reason. Most Devs on this site and others also post a warning if there is a chance of bricking your device. I know you put that it was for dev's only but you should know that people love to flash cutting edge stuff and get themselves into trouble. You should have at least posted a small warning to those that decide it's worth the chance to flash this.
I write software for a living, I just wanted to avoid the "this f-ed my phone up" stuff. no other reason.

That's great. But don't imply that you are the only one who did and that you presume to know what I'm running or where I get my **** from. There was alot of people posting that around that time. And phidelts probably would have had it out at the same if he hadn't rooted and deodexed it for us.

It is against XDA rules to require offsite registration. The OP has been advised he needs to remove the password or else this will be removed.
Hey you know all those free and 99 cent apps that Gameloft had during Thanksgiving? Make sure you back up those apks before flashing your phone. I flashed mine back to stock tonight and when I went to the Gameloft site, they had no record of me purchasing anything. Fortunately I remembered I had backed them up previously. My paranoia paid off!
How does that make gameloft a rip-off? The same thing would happen with there full price apps create an account with gameloft if you want them to remember your games
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
And I did that first - before I ever downloaded anything to begin with.
Fortunately, I have my receipts from Paypal for the 3 games I bought. Opened a case with Gameloft, just to make sure my account gets fixed.
I'm pretty sure that flashing a new firmware to your phone can cause the website to think it is a completely different phone. I had setup an account and this happened to me.
I just emailed them with the list of games that I had downloaded and they sent me on the APKs. No hassle at all. Some of the best customer service that I have had. I had bought 2 games and gotten 1 in a free offer. So I had 2 paypal receipts and they still emailed me on the 3 apk files.
Pretty misleading title since you hadn't actually dealt with them to get the APKs back.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be misleading, that's why I said POTENTIAL for a rip-off. I didn't say it -was- a rip-off. But when they ask for your phone number and account login info and you give it and it comes back and says you haven't purchased anything, that's very suspicious. I just wanted to give everyone the heads-up to make sure to back their apks up if they are going to wipe and reinstall.
However, as you stated, I emailed them, and they sent me the links to download the APKs. Great! Glad they did - but isn't it interesting I didn't have any trouble getting my EA games back? Just sayin'.
Hey, don't flame me, man! I'm OLD! But I mean well!
Sorry, Gameloft! You are NOT a rip-off!
Wish gameloft just used the market because its really annoying having to go to their website.
Gameloft ain't rip offs. In fact they are the best. The problem with order & chaos recently. I sent them an email and gave me the update within the next day, then when I told them the play controls weren't working and could only play it with touch screen they are now giving me 95 runes for the trouble and letting me keep the game. 95 runes is equivalent to £15 as you have to pay to get runes. Now I say that don't sound like rip offs to me. Who looks a fool now ?

Right it looks at the device too. When you buy a game it give you the one for that specific device. Also it knows what games work and don't for each device. Hence why with some devices there are only 21 games or the play has 42 games fir example. So when you go into it on a different fw or Rom it knows that q change has been made and for fraud purposes they have to do that. If you think. I have 4 SE devices. The play, Arc S, X10i and the Ray. Now I bought games for the x10 and when I went onto it on my Arc S it didn't show the games. But.... It does say on there site on the downloads page. Games that you bought for this DEVICE. So why does that make them a potential to be rip offs. I think you need to stop wasting server space and also post in the right section. I.E. The general or Q&A section. Think before making threads like this. If you read it properly on there website it does say what you bought for that device and when changing fw they know. Or everyone could just use my fw and dl my games that I paid for. They need to do that as like I said it is to prevent fraud.

aahahaha. Your the one who is being rude and attacking. I didn't call you names I was just saying. Also this thread is not about apps its about a company so yes it should not be in this thread. Also I am reporting you for being rude and disrespectful by telling me to bite you. Oh and calling me names. Which is not allowed at xda. At the end of the day you are going on about a company being rip offs and running your mouth before you even think. If you had just checked and emailed gameloft they would of sorted it out. But instead you decided to come here and start accusing and saying gameloft are or could be rip offs. So..... I would just think before you start saying things again and also before you start flaming other members as well. I was just explaining how they work on their website and was just saying this thread is in the wrong section. No where in this thread is there anything about an app but instead a company. So this means its in the wrong thread. Really..... you need to slow down and think.

So why were any of your comments necessary at ALL, since I had already said what Gameloft did to correct my impression AND say "Sorry Gameloft, you are -not- a ripoff." It's not like I could kill the whole thread at that point. Did you really think your post(s) added anything productive or useful?
Furthermore, Gameloft sells APPS, the APPS in question were previously mentioned in other threads IN THIS SECTION, which was why it made sense to me to post my warning about a POTENTIAL issue with those same apps. Everyone knows that almost nobody ever reads the General or Questions section, because that's where the n00bs ask things like "I just bought an Xperia Play. What should I do now?"
Finally - I concede that the "bite me" and "twit" comments were unnecessary, and I apologize for making them. However, your entire POSTS were unnecessary as well.
And here's me thinking that this thread was put to bed after about four posts.
Tbh Blackwatch, it looks to me like you goaded net into a response. It was all pretty civil till you showed up.

And I wasn't the one who was uncivil at all. I guess you didn't read the whole thread. I wasn't the one flaming and throwing a tantrum. In fact all I said was that this is in the wrong thread and my views on him saying gameloft are or have potential to rip you off. Everyone here is allowed to have there say and say there views but no one is allowed to flame and curse or swear in that matter as bite me is an American swear word. So..... I think you are again another one who needs to stop picking sides and stay the hell out of our little argument. Where does it say everyone join this argument. Leave it to me and him to sort out and everyone else stay the hell out of our argument. I didn't start an argument at in fact he did by cursing and flaming. Thread is being reported to be closed and his post is too for an infraction. Oh and just so you get it into your heads I will say it one more time. I DIDNT START THE ARGUMENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys!
I am getting this weird error at boot logo-
"customerID error: contact dealer
Boot to suspend m/TCMD mode:dead:0000:00000000:000000cc" something like this.
It wasn't giving me any problems with kexec roms(This error was generated when I flashed a kexec rom). But when I FXZd back to ICS 4.0.4(due to some reason), it's giving me an illuminated screen nothing past that! Please help.
Edit- Did my homework and found out that it's the CID error? Also found the solution. You have to boot using BP tools. I love you XDA!! Again I'm gonna write steps here for noobs like me
1) Enter fast boot by pressing power+volume down
2) Press power button, then press power+volume up+volume down
3) navigate to bp tools and press volume up
Just realize, this does not fix the real issue, it just bypasses the check.
You most likely will have issues down the road with your provider.
The ONLY way to fix this is restore a backup of YOUR, CID image (each persons phone has a unique Customer ID).

Yes if that is who your network provider is, otherwise it is whoever gives you your service. This is sent to your provider with the IMEI when phone calls and data are requested. At some point your provider may stop allowing service from any phone that does not send back a valid CID.
No you can not put it back without a valid backup from YOUR phone, if you did not backup your phone, you may be screwed.

Yeah the A2 is super cheap here, and always has been. The thing is that this phone was released in way more than just the sea area. There is the US version, the SEARET/MEARET, the HK version, there were 2 euro versions, that somehow only released a very limited number of phones, it was like in Greece and the UK, and then they stopped shipping them after only 2 months of sales (only like a few hundred).
ALL versions except the MEARET/SEARET were locked down so tight that anything you tried to do to them would screw you. And yes everywhere but in India the CID does matter, so please read, as this has been posted many times, and your posting what you did does not make it a fact, but maybe only in your country/ phone version. Also the XDA site does not only cater to the India market, it is a world wide site, and like I said the A2 was released world wide.

Wow, what an ignorant little ****, you are.
There are 3 devs from India. Devesh, Ravikrang, and Turffe. ALL of the rest of the devs are from the US, and one is from Frankfurt, and even one from China.
alteredlikeness, Hashcode, lfaber06, lkrasner, rdavisct, timmytim, daavis, cogeary, myself, etc. are ALL from the US.
Wanggjhost is from China.
The thing is that devesh, is a great guy but he mostly ports ROMS from other phones, and does really do much "developing", so you can sort of throw him out, if you want to really count people who have actually done real development work on this phone.
So humm, sounds like there are so many developers from India on here (2), and I have not seen either one very recently, on here.
Just because there are a crapload of people, from India (right now) posting in the General and Q&A section asking the same questions without searching, over and over again does not make them devs.
It might help you, if you go back and read all over this forum so you know what has and has not been done. The answers to most of the questions have been answered so many times now, and I have given you a break since you just signed up on XDA a month ago, but as of this post that is done, as you insulted so many devs, who do this work all for free in their spare time, to better the phone and community, and you can not even show respect for those devs, and make statements so arrogantly when you do not have all the correct information, and were just too lazy to take a look at who your devs are, and where they are from.
jimbridgman said:
Wow, what an ignorant little ****, you are.
There are 3 devs from India. Devesh, Ravikrang, and Turffe. ALL of the rest of the devs are from the US, and one is from Frankfurt, and even one from China.
alteredlikeness, Hashcode, lfaber06, lkrasner, rdavisct, timmytim, daavis, cogeary, myself, etc. are ALL from the US.
Wanggjhost is from China.
The thing is that devesh, is a great guy but he mostly ports ROMS from other phones, and does really do much "developing", so you can sort of throw him out, if you want to really count people who have actually done real development work on this phone.
So humm, sounds like there are so many developers from India on here (2), and I have not seen either one very recently, on here.

And what I originally said is correct wherever, you live, and for, the OP's, OG issue, is not just an issue for those in India, and ALL of your responses never took that into account. So, that is why I said what I said! And that Is why I took offense, as your statement about ALL the devs here being from india is incorrect, and you need to think before making blanket statements like that! As it is offensive to a good majority of hard work by others from around the world.

Whoa!
I never knew this was so serious! I mean it was mentioned in all OPs to back up CID, but I was ignorant and was like "Ah wth!! What could possibly go wrong??" But I know now what can.
ENJOYING TILL IT LASTS I WOULD SAY!
But I don't think that would cause any problems because it's not that strict here! LOL!
@darth_nihar, please learn to respect senior devs, not that I'm pointing or anything...just giving a heads up.

You are lucky you live in an area where carriers are less strict about security like this. You will have to bypass thr issue with bmm on every boot and this will be a real pia. you may think about buying another a2 with a broken screen and exchange the innards with you screen ans case, then take a backup of the old and new, then try and do all the same rom installs and hacks again, and if you lose the CID, you can restore it since you made a backup with the new board/storage.
I know that seems like a lot of work, but it will make you whole and you can sell the broken phone so you are not out much money.
There is guide on how to replace the screen in the general section, that should get you everything you need to do this.
Good luck!

Sounds like a great idea! But I think I would rather buy a new phone down the road(nexus maybe). Because even used phones are overpriced here.
Lesson learnt..Pheww! Gotta start saving now

No it's cool. Just be careful what you post, and that people get your drift. Be glad it was me, and that was not really pissed, because I have had people banned for being complete pricks, not that you were. Others may not have been so gracious.
We are cool, though.
I would like to add that, though I am far from being a developer, I am also from the US. I live in Louisiana now, but I am originally from Texas, which if I remember correctly, Jim is too. If I am right about that then I can vouch for him that you did get off easy. There's a reason that the saying is " Don't mess with Texas ". We Texans are a no-nonsense group of people. Hahaha!
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Ok now you seriously crossed your line.
* crapload of people, from India (right now)*
* so you can sort of throw him out*
Seriously? He has done way more than you ever did.
As for all the *devs* you mentioned "all from US" , only 2 of them do real development. Namely hash and altered. Rdavisct and daavis used to dev.. But that was long time ago.. So you can sort of throw out the rest (including and especially yourself). And you actually spoil their reputation. Considering how humble hash and altered are..
The one who actually brought a proper working aosp (including radio) based roms to this device was Wang. And I remember the way you posted in that thread.. All the skepticism.. The only thing you ever said before this was " I am working on ril" "discussing ril on XDA is not allowed"..
As for all that you boast about yourself, here is the truth. You are a big fake.. You have actually done no development for this device. The only thing was the Ubuntu on webtop hack. And I am not really sure how original it is..
The only things you say are
1. Some thing big is on the horizon/around the corner.
2. Give credit.
3. Cannot be done.
Here is one more thing. On the a2 you always said the bl is locked so you cannot do anything. I haven't seen you do anything for the s3.. That has an unlock able bl I guess..
"and I have not seen either one very recently, on here."
Really? I come here and post pretty much every day..
Oh and if there is something you are good at, that's starting flamewars. Since you no longer have the phone any more and posted your "goodbye" thread, here is a sincere request..
PLEASE LEAVE!
Nothing worthwhile has come from you.
Honestly, you are the reason this device's development was hampered.. Not the locked bl..
BTW, here are a few worthy things devesh has done.
1. Get hash, dtrail, altered and me in contact and hence get things moving. He is half the reason we have "official" cm today. It's not you.
2. He is the whole reason we have JBX. Dtrail1 doesn't own an a2..
And at the one who posted the other post, here is something you need to keep in mind.
There are Ppl from all over the world with different nationalities, gender, race, religion and everything else. So DONT POST ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF THOSE MENTIONED.
P. S. And Ppl from any other nation, nothing personal. If I have hurt any of you in the above rant, my sincere apologies. I have respect for all nations.
Good bye.

Why u people always go for scam, i withdraw 5 winner yesterday, if you think this is scam, go to telegram group mention in some thread in nokia 6, and ask people if this is spam or not
There's already a method to unlock the BL (the MD5 of your serial no.), so this can be easily recognized as a scam
Also, this was written unprofessionally. If you plan to impress others, learn how to construct sentences properly.

M not scaming okay, and if you dont have any interest then you can pass, again m saying, m not impressing people, one more thing, you are not here to judge me to whether should i be here or not.
And if the method is available then why it isn't available yet, if i m not wrong then you are telling about the worst and unsafe method where people brick there device and that only work in nougat, my bootloader key works on every platform not only nougat but oreo too
And if this is scam, prove it as scam, because i have proof that this is not scam

Scamming or not, promoting your own payed service is not allow on XDA. You better delete your thread before mod delete it for you.
Here's the reference for you. Rule 7 states that you shouldn't sell any item on XDA and rule 12 states that "XDA-Developers is based on the principle of sharing to transmit knowledge."

First, you're putting out a site literally say ”The bootloader unlock key is not free for now, so you need to buy it, and we are here to available this service to you at cheapest price." and except everyone here to believe you don't sell your "service"?
Second, the rule 12, XDA should be base on principal of sharing to transmit knowledge. Your thread contains no evidence of any usable information about how to unlock bootloader, but only a link to your own service website that demand our information.
If you really have no intention to sell us your "service", post your proof that can unlock them and make a tutorial show us how to do it, not this giveaway bull****.

There is participation button on the end of the page, there is countdown timer also, there is list of winner too
You never saw that, beside that, i m posting the email i sent to those guys
One more thing, i already mentioned everything, if anything goes wrong, the moderator can down this thread, there is telegram group also, u can ask people if i have given them for free or not.
If you think the key will work on all devices, then the answer is know, for every device an unique key is generated and that only works on that device only, thats why there is no tutorial for it.
Also if you have any problem then complaint to the moderator, moderator will also see if my disclaimer and each point i mentioned here, is relating to selling service or not.. if he founds m selling then he can remove my thread
Else if you dont have any intrest in this thread then you should pass from here. M not forcing you to take a part on give away
Keeping something which is worthy but waste now, instead of that m give it as free but like lucky draw type...
Yes i was selling before, people were buying too but not now..

Do you know what's your problem? The use of "free giveaway" means you are selling them. You posted your selling page link instead of the Google form link of your "giveaway" that you put on the buttom of the page. I don't know what's your intention, but these to me are advertising and tricking people to buy your "service."
And the explanation on your site, "The key is generated through FIH server from FOXCONN", what make you, presumably owner of a Indian e-store, so special to have the access? Even if you have, what makes you have the right to sell them?
You showing no sharing of knowledge but only advertisement of your store is the reason why you shouldn't be here posting on XDA.
BTW your Gmail screenshots serves no evidence whatsoever.
