A few threads have been removed the past few hours. These are regarding a leaked radio which is known to brick devices and has been taken from a compromised server.
Reposting will not be tolerated. Distribution through PM, or even hinting that you may be available to spread it through PM or other methods, will be treated as open reposting. "Vacations" will be dealt out to those who do so.
This is both for your own good as for the good of others. Some of you are able to read between the lines - I have read it in your posts - and good for you.
Have patience, it will come.
if you build it they will come...
Thanks for posting. This should really be a stickied topic as its a highly talked about subject.

I think the important thing is to protect sources. Not sure if it is bricking or not. Though I don't want to be the one to find out.

I'm not sure, but this probably means GB release is very soon? Wouldn't that make sense?
It got pulled off every site within 2 mins. I just got lucky enough to snag it. But I will not distribute so please no pms asking for it

I decided not to download it I'll wait and see what the devs say on it.

bamf team is coming out with a new sense 3.0 rom(there is a preview zip available in the bamf 2 beta thread) so im guessing there is something coming soon, he seemed to stop once the brick issue came about, so why else would they and others update and create new roms for GB radios.
It wont brink you, its just to protect sources and legal issues probably. Im using it and its much better than the first leak, only got one reboot in the few hours my phone was on

Guys please DO NOT PM people asking for it, I have already received one and rejected it. No one wants to get banned over something stupid. You will live I promise. Anyone who receives a PM, whether you think you'll get caught or not, please do the right thing and kindly reject them.

The fact that we have an MR2 Radio means GB could be right around the corner. I have had one reboot with it, (although that might have been a fluke, as the phone had 3% battery left), and so far it is very stable, and I wouldn't be surprised to see an official build out soon.
Just curious, but...
It seems like, as of late, someone starts to build a new ROM, then stops updating after 2 or 3 rc's, leaving the ROM unfinished. I understand the ROMs are created in someone's spare time, but why start a ROM if you never intend to finish it? Why not finish it before you start something else, or just delete the development thread so we're not sitting here waiting for the next release that never seems to come? No offense to anyone, just curious.
Roms are never really finished you can always add new functions
, themes etc.

Quit flashing ROMs since you'll never have a 100% guarantee that someone will finish a ROM. Go back to stock GB which has a bad modem and reboot problems. Oh wait, Samsung didn't exactly give you a good ROM either.
Why is it that if the ROM never gets a final version its assumed its unfinished? The unfinished ROMs, ics mutt, cm7, miui, are all still works in progress (well maybe not miui, not sure of it's future). Seems to me everything else is fully functional and doesn't require anything else.
All the the most recent ones, unnamed, vb, icbinb, scom, these are problem free. Just find the right kernel and modem for your phone and they qualify as finished.

Im still updating mine but this post makes me not want to
And like the post above me said the title doesnt have to be final for it to be final. Also, the dev can choose to start a new rom bc people want the new mod they are bringing to it along with a new theme and tweaks.
So thank you devs for the many roms you guys release.
if you ain't first you're last
I think you should aim to non beta ROMs. At least this way you know you get a fully functional ROM. Regarding Final version, forget about it. Won't happen, won't be announced.

most developers acknowledge that there are going to be some dev cycles involved in their releases. I guess some non-developers either don't realize that or haven't picked up on that yet.
Nothing's perfect so take it as it is and don't complain, and if it has a "final" tag on it, it just means the developer is done working on it. Beggars can't be choosers, and choosers can download the source and modify it themselves (or fsck it up even more ).
Quit your belly aching dude, instead, a little appreciation would be a welcome change. We have so many different options to choose from. And every time my noob ass bricks my phone these guys have a post on how to fix it. Fb is right, go back to stock if it bothers you so much, but I'll stick with my 2 day battery life.

I think that people get desperate when devs release and early version of a rom instead of an almost final. I think it would be best to release the "final" version to public and since there are many devs with the phone and so many wise users that know how to test and report correctly. In my humble opinion, a dev should pick a group of testers, silently and then release a "final" that probably would have 0 to very few changes. That way devs don't get pissed when people ask same questions and bring up many problems.
I have no problem testing or trying alpha, beta, charlie, delta......... zeta releases, but my concern is with devs releasing lots of projects and getting mad by people asking how to this and how to that. Yeah, read... blablabla yadda yadda... I know no one is in the obligation of doing nothing, either flash or develop or answer questions or help. Thing is that this is a community very diverse and noobs are going to be noobs, haters gonna hate and passive people will be passive...
No need to flame the OP. I think it's a good question, tho.
considering i no longer have a sgs4g it would be hard to update it. The rom itself is fine.. Don't see an issue. If you don't like the theme change it. If you don't like the rom learn how to make your own.

When a rom is release an OP comes with it where bugs known are said from the get go. As for bug reported devs are fine with them as long as logs are attached and they are real bugs and not just "I want a better theme" or "how do I install this rom".
As for flaming, it's actually a rule that we can't do this to one another on xda.

Yup I don't think people appreciate the time put in. And the reason we get early releases is because we all want something new, and we can help bug test. But eh.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate all dev work even if it's "unfinished" or w/e. Is just that this kind of discussion has been around since the beginning and people knew this phone ain't easy. Not trying to discourage any further development.

Okay so I do not use my g2x anymore in fact I have moved on from smartphones to tablets and I am using an old dumb phone. But I still modd my devices with the latest stuff but it has been a while so I put the latest AOKP on my g2x and It is great but I noticed thayt there is no netflix the sound works but nothing else. No matter what build. So I was reading in this fourm and I came across a thread thatg said that there are no video drivers because there ius no official ICS. So that is why it doesnt work right? And that means no matter what ICS there will be no video? Or does cm9 have it working? It seems that this phone always has a problem with drivers. I also heard that they confirmed no official ICS for this phone but maybe the o2x. It is such a wast. This phone is still great If it were bigger I would like it better than my SGS2 But I am not worried because the cm9 team or team kang will figure something out eventually just like they did with the A2DP problem with cm7 it will take some time but when you have the best of the best it will happen.
If there is something I am missing and there is a fix for this please let me know
Thank you,
Charlie
Basically yes and this thread is of little use, when the drivers and proper sources are achieved, you'll know and see all threads blowing up.

its nice how you give your opinion of worthlessness in a Q&A section thread... I mean really is there ever a useful thread in the Q&A section? prob not because its for noobs. so maybe next time just answer without your 2 cents bro. no need in basically telling him his question is stupid... be helpful and dont tell someone the thread is useless if he fathomed to make a thread for you to post on....
why you pick on me and not on DJ? haha, his thing is genius though... mine is just as lazy I admit that. I told him he is right in his thoughts... not much will change when it comes to extreme stability, cause it wont be until we get drivers, and that the forum will blow up if/when it does happen, and we have the chance for 100 support/functioning ICS. Then told him that this thread is kinda pointless as the questions has been answered more then enough times, relating to searching which is what DJ did with a copy and paste... so ya. PM me if you have an issue with how I do things, don't attack me publicly unless it is my thread I stated and matters, thanks.

I've been tearing Google apart page by page looking for any ICS info for the thunderbolt....
I can't find anything recent about ICS for it.
I called HTC support, the guy didn't know much if any about it
I know you guys on here are way better about finding info leaks, anything found recently?

End of october was the last rumor, so soonish allegedly, but more likely never then sooner. Kind of frustrating
AFAIK it'll just be released, I doubt there'll be advance information since it's getting to be old news.
Look in the VZW forums and maybe there'll be some info there but I doubt it, the best place to learn of it is probably right here.
Sorry, I know that's not very helpful.
I'm just stoked we have yet another thread in which to discuss this alleged vaporware again and again and again and again.....
Maybe if ALL XDA Thunderbolt threads were asking about ICS, "it will come".
Unfortunately guys, it's more like, "If we build it, it will come".
It goes something like this:
Something something, rumor, tidbit, leak, rumor, secret, wink wink, it's coming, oh maybe later, oh maybe not at all, maybe still, oh hell we don't know.....fluff, fluff, some more fluff,
NO UPDATE FOR YOU!

Hey all, I came from Samsung Skyrocket- just switched to HTC One X ... and I immediately looked for the JB 4.1.1. I downloaded and installed it. I'm not new to rooting, but did not take the time to read up on the version. The same day I upgraded I quickly found out that it was a big mistake. I was just wondering is there anyone out there working on a root for AT&T 3.18. I read a lot of posts and some speculate there are people somewhere but does anyone know for certain. I love all you Devs on XDA and your dedication. Thanks for reading
I'm sure someone is working on it. There just isn't a thinkthank thread. You should go make one!

Well, being that the official JB was released just a few days ago, I doubt it. Just like when a brand new iOS comes to an apple device, it takes time to find the exploits and stuff. If you came from the skyrocket, I would imagine, you would have checked XDA first, before looking into any official sites. That's what I do. Just in case I don't lose my root. When it comes to rooting, you HAVE to take the time to read. Especially with the HTC, it's a multi-step process. With the bootloader unlocking, geting SuperCID, rooting, getting your adb/fastboot working. Just have to be patient. But it is all worth it. I am sure many of the other HTC users in this forum would agree.

3.18 started rolling out nearly a month ago (approx. March 7). And the OP is asking whether anyone is working on it, not whether an exploit has already been found. So the only way this would be answered conclusively, is if a dev (or devs) responded positively, that they are indeed actively working on it.

Thanks for the correction. Mis-read it using the app. And it has been that long? It felt like only a few days about the JB update. I would imagine, some devs may be working on it, but as you said, no one knows for sure until a dev responds.

Yup, its been at least that long. This thread was posted on March 7, but the first reports of it rolling out starting getting posted on March 6, if I remember correctly.
The RUU was posted later on, maybe 2 weeks ago, or a little less.

Ah, then that is probably what I am referring to. Anywho, I would imagine a dev would post here first (the forum, not this thread), as these forums are pretty darn popular. But, it never hurts to Google.
Thank for the information fellas... I should have been a little more patient and a little less gung-ho. I was really shooting for someone to say..."I'm working on that right now" but that's ok. I'll just have to wait like the rest of the hundreds if not thousands that were like me. This update is a little jumpy... meaning it freezes up from time to time and reboots every now and then.

You generally almost never see those kinds of posts unless the dev has at least an alpha working or needs testers. The reason being, obviously, is because the moment anyone gets identified as working on the exploit, they get bombarded with nonstop "Are we there yet" posts and PMs.

Very true. And I'm guessing they probably don't want to get hopes up about something that might not even happen.
Devs often don't say anything unless they think they have it. Some of the exploits for our device have come practically out of nowhere. I remember the original bootloader unlock method (CID spoof), the dev just came on here and posted the method, and was like "sh1t, I didn't even know there was a bounty, thanks for the money!" lol

Yeah that's understandable, you are correct. I remember when I rooted my skyrocket people were always after the devs...time? How far along messages would popup everywhere. As you can see I've been a member since I got my skyrocket and have never posted once. I always found everything by reading everything. I got use to the speed of my Skyrocket, now I have this HOX as it is referred to here. With the stock it's pretty close to the speed of the skyrocket. But, I know it can be a lot faster with the root and less bloatware. Thanks again guys for the reply's
