Your the same one *****ing in the other thread about our moderator and people not posting in the right section and you post this on the development section? Make your own rom with carrier IQ and sprint id if you want it so bad.

Well I'm sure he might if the devs here on xda didn't feel it necessary to keep the update from everyone by only releasing their roms based off it, for an open source community the devs here sure like to act like selfish little internet fame seekers, true open source developers would have shared the update the moment they got their hands on it in unmodified form so everyone could take a stab at it, just goes to show you what xda is really based around

That's, uh, exactly what the Bonsai team did. The links have been removed by mods, but they released a stock deodexed EC05.

Curious as to why that was? What rules was it violating? They didn't say what rules just that it was closed until it complied...

They required donations I believe, sounds real opensource to me, the devs here are a real credit to the opensource community (sarcasm)

Nice job posting what you don't know about... the thread was closed because it linked to their personll site you have to register for. It is completely free. Donations are asked for, not required, but they are asked for by every dev.

Fresh out of the weekend since their support page was updated. A 5-3 release makes sense. Hopefully the radio version is different than the leak, which is reboot happy due to the radio. Software versions match though.

Thanks for the details. I look forward to the official, the leaked was not very stable.

This is the first time I've seen a release date for it posted.

i apologize if this info was already posted. I was just trying to share some info i just noticed. as many people have stated, i have not seen an actual date of release. I also have access to phones a few days before they are released so if there is anything i can do to help the community, please let me know. i have a thunderbolt, and being an employee, i can have my phone replaced whenever needed so i am willing to try pretty much anything (guinea pig anyones software). so if any dev wants me to try something i am more than welcome to.

You should put this out there, as I'm sure many devs would love your help.
Also, I'm sure everyone here would like early impressions on new phones.

Bootloader Unlock Volunteers (Test 3) $50 if works!

Hello,
Today I'm going to try test three of the bootloader unlock (the test two didn't work, please delete it).
I'm not responsible if this hard-bricks your device, no don't blame me.
OK, so pm me please if you want to try it.
Only ONE person with 50+ posts or 10+ thanks may try it (to make sure your not motorola).
So post here first so that we can tell who will test it.
Good Luck,
TCF38012

Why not try on your own device? If I was working a zip flash to unlock the bootloader, I'd be trying on my own phone, rather than enlist others who may possibly brick as result. And, as DX2Trip asked in "test two", have the devs seen this that you're experimenting with?

Should really be PMing one of the devs dude...best bet. Jim, rdavisct, alteredlikeness, JRW, cogeary...anyone of those guys can be found all over our dev section...shoot one of em a PM and I'm certain you will get your test...probably free of charge. The prize makes it sound that much more of a risk. (No offence) lol. So odds are more people won't want to take that chance ya know? Anyway...I really hope this is a break through and someone can crack this b!otch! Big props if you pull it off man.

There have been offers like this in the past. So please don't cast aspersions on the OP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840550
The OPs offer is rather more generous in comparison.

Why do people always bother to see the post count and reps ? Its surely not a measure of how intelligent a person is.A person might be good but could have joined board late so he might be having less rep and posts. :/ We need to stop skeptical and embrace the help.
@OP : good luck with it.Some more details would be nice. All the best.
Edit : good example of what I wanted to say : http://i.imgur.com/v0H7z.jpg

The idea with the post count requirement was to make sure that motorola didn't create an account and volunteer to test it, and then go and analyze it, patch it if it worked, and then report back that it didn't either way.
Personally, I think that this may be unnecessary (although I have doubts about Moto's character, they definitely don't have the resources to be trolling dev forums in an effort to actively discourage development on year old hardware)
I would volunteer to test this, except that I fall just short of both requirements and I would also like to know what happened with the previous two tests before attempting this one (did they result in a brick?)

Again, as Fall of Enosis mentioned, the lack of replies by OP is a bit questionable. People asked legitimate questions in the first "test thread", and nothing was answered. Any good dev keeps up with his/her threads, and assures people with confidence by laying concerns to rest with some riposte. Not trying to cast any doubt on the OP's abilities, just a mention here of maybe taking a more proactive role in the threads he starts. My suggestion, to be taken or left alone...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I am just going to assume that you will give us an over view of what you tried. We don't want people to get all pushy but it would be nice.
I'm also assuming the thread (x-files thread) a couple of days ago that ended in pm's was hashed out on back channels and this is a by product.
If I wrong well so be it but that's what happens when there is sooo little info.
Good luck.

Lol, as soon as the $3 hits it's price drop I'm dumping moto forever... Btw, sprint is selling them for $80 right now.

I actually didn't look much at the OP, thinking that it was the same group of people that were doing the BL unlock the last time. I have reconsidered my decision to be a part of this test. Actually, I think this thread should be locked, but that's not my choice to make.

PM him...he'll hit you back. Did with me on #1 just havent went through with it yet. He wanted me to google up how to get full ubuntu on windows 7 cuz he needed linux or kexec users...

A Dev wanted you to do a search! How dare he commit such an outrage

$50 if it works and zilch if I brick my phone. I think I'll give it a pass.

Unlocking illegal!!??

Hey everyone. So I just read this morning on Techno Buffalo's sight that as of this Sunday it will be illegal to unlock your phone in the US!!! I'm curious to hear some feedback from people(espesially the devs) on what you may think this means for us as consumers and for XDA?? Do you think it will get to the point where you won't be able to post "how to unlock" forums and video's? Or will this just be another law on paper that doesn't really get enforced in any way?? Thoughts??

[Bounty] Get EdgeHood a Nexus 4

I was talking to EdgeHood about how I will be getting a Nexus 4 soon and would love for him to develop for it. There is one problem however; he doesn't have a nexus 4. This is where we come in. Together we can get this awesome developer one of the best phones out there and possibly get some awesome ROMs too. I will be donating at least $50. This means the goal to reach is ~$350 (this includes taxes and shipping)
EdgeHood has been doing some phenomenal work on the Galaxy S III with his Vengeance ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098437)
Donations can be made to Edge's PayPal here: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=SBTbfErWle9DJ0akgBcw098iFuBccE2WIpgzPISWTPuVr5iNGAT07R0NnhS&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f8e263663d3faee8d0b7e678a25d883d0fa72c947f193f8fd
Come on guys we can do this!
Please post the amount of your donation so that I can keep track of it.
Thanks!!

You'd be better off doing this at the nexus 4 threads since generally we don't have the intention of going to that phone.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Youre going to have a hard time getting donations here.
you should start a thread somewhere more appropriate if you actually want to do this.

I have a thread in the nexus 4 forum as well. I just figured users of his Vengeance ROM might want to donate and will be able to see this in the S III forums more easily.

This is first and hopefully a last. A bounty for a phone that isn't even the same phone that the section it is in.
On top of it the Nexus 4 isn't even available on the same carrier we are all on.
Building Roms on the Nexus 4 will not help the S3 forum at all.

Um, yeah. I'll get right on that.

/threadwin
seriously though, the above posters are right that you are not likely to get any love here for a phone the vast majority of us have no interest in and is on a different character. A for effort, F for execution

The OP wants S3 users to donate a phone so a dev can develop on his new phone that none of us own. Doesn't sound selfish at all.
I would love a Nexus 4. Anyone want to donate one to me.
Well at least the OP won't have to worry about updating the thread with amounts. Should be easy to keep track of zero.
No offense to the great dev who is probably reading this thread saying WTF. If I was him I would post and say I do not support this message here. Lol

Edit.
We'd be paying for him to go dev on another phone??

I disagree, bounty thread can be great, like when we got the htc incredible 4g community a bounty s-off tester phone (within 3 hours mind you), which did play about 99% role in getting s-off (phone wise) from a developer standpoint it was unlimited.io team 100%. but without that phone, s-off may still not be on the htc inc4....
but this thread, poorly thought out.
