[Backflip] Root Bounty

For now, until I can post links here, to donate, visit the link below to get to the donation link.
Please help us get root, whether you own a Backflip or are a Dev/Hacker, or both. There are quite a few people out there that are trying to obtain Root for the Backflip and we appreciate everything you are doing, we're just looking for more help in achieving this. We all want Root for this device.
I have this posted up on several sites, so I've created one web page to keep everything update in one place for all the sites. If you are interested, feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Any and all help is appreciated. You can find the current status, total, and my contact information here: scorchgaming.com/bfrootdonate.htm (Can't post links yet.).
(I know I'm a new user, I just registered, but have been viewing the site for a while now. I have plenty of other online forum experience a long with tons of online business. For any one looking for vouches, I can provide them.)

Bump. Totals for today have been posted on the Bounty Page.
Please support this device!

There's gotta be some backflip lovers around these seas Lets see what happens with tihs

I don't see too many people sending you money without the root being done first... wouldn't be too smart. I do not believe you are trying to take peoples money and I appreciate what your doing to try and get the backflip rooted as I am waiting for it also, but sending someone money online in HOPES that someone will do something? No thanks. Maybe pledge the money and send it after it has been completed.

Maybe, but while I haven't gotten much interest over here, I have gotten over $200 in pledges from other sites. If you don't feel confortable, that's fine, make a pledge, if you do, great.
This has been done before though for the SE X10 specifically. With pretty good support for it. One thread says $890, the other says $1650.

I've gotten over $200 in pledges in a little over a week, so if the pace keeps up, which hopefully it will, we'll have a decent amount to draw interest to the phone.

Update: I have received almost $500 in donations and pledges in two weeks.
I'm sure there's plenty of others out there that haven't heard about this yet. Please help spread the word. I hope some developers are seeing this also. Without you guys, this doesn't get us any where.

Wow. Looks like the total is up to almost $550. Hopefully we'll get some dev attention for this.

Bump for some more interest!

Trying to help spread the word about the bounty. Started tweeting it out, but only have 1 follower, so... we need more people to get involved in letting devs know about this.
I've been using #backflipbounty in my tweets along with http://bit.ly/c06W3c
ie.
Help get the Motorola Backflip rooted, spread the word about the #backflipbounty. http://bit.ly/c06W3c Please retweet!
PS. I'm @Dbagjones on Twitter

Need a tester willing to put in a some time.
I can get root on the backflip, I'll need someone with a backflip who is willing to teamviewer me into a console so I can verify my method will work.

Contact me and we can set up a time later today if that works for you.

I'm going to take a few hours and familiarize myself with moto's goofy rom packaging scheme and the like before I dive into a phone. I'll pm you sometime this week.

I'd also be willing to help out (have Backflip, ADB, etc. but no clue hacking Android). PM me here, tweet me @Dbagjones or SMS 772.226.0185 <-- Google Voice is the bomb!

bump for greatness

No one will donate any time for someone to have a crack at the backflip I guess it will just have to wait.

I need someone who is willing to give me remote adb access to the hardware so I can try out the idea's I have on rooting the backflip. It shouldn't take more than an hour for me to know whether my ideas will work or not.

Tried my ideas, nothing worked. Sorry guys!

[Q] I broke it!!! I think?

total noob and i need help.... here is my problem... I unlocked my new infuse and then rooted the phone. everything was fine fo several hours and all of the sudden it started vibrating and would reset with out turning all the way off. the android drop screen does not function. everytime you try to pull it down it starts the above issue. if a text comes thru it does it again. i did a factory reset and this didnt help. i still have superuser on the phone but cant seem to get phone to function it has power and works to an extent. you can tap apps and go thru most of the phone but it will reset and go back to main screen and vibrate and start process all over.... any ideas. i am a noob and not very technical, prob why my phone is f'ed up right now. using my samsung captivate for now. please help the new guy. i looked for threads with similar issues but found nothing with search bar. thanks ahead of time

I'm not familiar with unlocking...i do know if I'm not mistake you have to root first then unlock....but that should not effect your phone...but phones are so different....even though we all have the same model....
I would reload stock and re root....then re unlock....ate you runnning stock or custom rom?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Why yes glad you asked...check my signature...for the iset page....
You will find a **** ton of info....since your somewhat new...do a lil reading....ok ....do a lot...
Look for the one click methods by qkster....although the new odin links are great also....your choice....
And any questions the op for those threads can provide you with great help and you can pm me also...
And don't forget to thank the op dev that provided you with what you need...kk

In that case I like to suggest you to unbrick the cellphone (restore again to FROYO) and test the cellphone... If you do it, you will loose the root, however the unlock will remains
You can re-root the cellphone later... the issue could be also being caused by an app that you had installed
*** If your cellphone is from AT&T you can use the GTG's Ultimate Unbrick tool, to go back to FROYO
Remember that you must have ODIN to unbrick the cellphone..
Some helpfull links:
Complete Stock (FOR ROGERS USERS ONLY)
GTG's Ultimate Unbrick - Return to stock - For AT&T

thanks!!!
Thanks for the info bigjoe2675 & dantespec...well I feel real stupid now... I looked over all that info and its way above my head. is there anyone I can send my phone to that does this type of work and is trustworthy enough not to steal my phone? i have already trashed it once I dont want a $230 paper weight.

If you can not figure out how to go back to stock, then i know mobiletechvideos. They got my old infuse running again when the usb port got borked. If you need a link ask me, idk were the link is lol. Trust me though, it worked well. Only thing is it costs money. Better off to learn how to do it unless if hardware is actually broken, not software.
Btw you may want to learn how to unbrick and learn your basics before you attempt at doing something like this again. Just making a very logical suggestion.

For sure check out the Odin videos... I have a feeling that they are going to come in handy a few times..
Everyone has to start somewhere and we all had to learn, I was really overwhelmed when I first started looking into it, but then it was like "oh! That's it?"
Most people here are super helpful (I'm not... I'm a n00b) but don't be mailing your phones to someone you don't know or anything like that... you're begging for someone to rob ya..
Just take it slow and read, read, read... when you have read enough to have a handle on it.. read some more!

Awesome brother!
Welcome to the addiction!
It is so interesting to me what can be done with minor and major changes how simple things make HUGE differences.
Next thing you know, you will be grinding out apktool changes and making themes!

Flash to talk selling rich hathaway's stolen iphone tool

Look guys i don't post much anymore but ANYONE that i have helped in the past i need your help. Flash to talk is using stolen software from one of the most prominent users of the forums "Rich Hathaway" they purchased the stolen tool and are using it for there own monetary gain which could hurt rich's business. This is going out to any flasher with any decency left if you want to help go to this link https://www.facebook.com/Flashtotalk.LLC and https://www.facebook.com/Flashtotalk.LLC and post your thoughts. This is wrong and needs to be stopped.

First let me thank anyone that can point me in the right direction in fixing my phone. Here is the problem, first somebody tried to root the phone however they pretty much bricked it. I now have a Sprint Samsung Note 2., It boots up and gives you all these choices on what to remove and modify. If you try to access any of the buttons NOTHING happens. So what I think I have to do is 1) ROOT THE PHONE, 2) INSTALL A ROM THAT ACTUALLY WORKS, AND 3) TAKE IT TO BE SWITCHED OVER TO MY EXISTING BOOST ACCOUNT. How you masters of the cellular world are able to figure this stuff out has me in awe. This newbie would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT you guys are my only hope of getting this phone to work.
Thank you in advance,
A confused Newbie......

http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2
look around there. I did a quick look and didn't see any un-bricking posts, but I'm sure some one there can help you figure it out.

I need help with a APP/APK.

Sorry if I ask stupid things, so go easy on me.
I have tried a lot of APK's for printer from your phone/tablet, but they never really work 100% for me.
I'm not looking for a new app to try, i did i'm done with that.
Now I would like to build one myself, so I can get it just the way I like/need.
But I can't find ANY sites or youtube links that could help me get started.
Help if there is ANYBODY who can help me in any way. please.
I'm not good at coding but I do get around (sometimes after some **** ups)
