exactly, that's why you have to sign it so that it becomes repealed (canceled).

this is the link (specifically for UNLOCKED phones). only need 41,000 more signs.. come on guys..
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/pe...gov&utm_medium=shorturl&utm_campaign=shorturl
it will also be great to enough signatures for the DMCA one too.
\\ a suggestion to xda. i think sending a mass email to all members will be a good thing to do\\ no? this is something that will potentially affect many many users.

HTC Issue, Hope you guys help

So right now were trying to make sure that the future of HTC's phones dont get knocked out because of the encrypted bootloader they are trying to force upon us so im just writing this to you all to make sure that the XDA members know whats going on and I was wondering if you all can help us out, these are the details:
right now i'm sure your aware of what is going on in HTC's facebook page and i wanted to know if you
would read up on what is going on and show that everyone is wanting this to be unlocked.
This first link is the petition that were all signing to show to HTC that we are wanting this:
http://www.groubal.com/htc-bootloade...nd/#signatures
We want more to know about it so i was reaching out to all of you right now.
this second link is the conversation that a member who started this had with a sprint rep on facebook, it shows that sprint is not the one responsible for the locked bootloader and that they are not trying to push for it.
https://www.facebook.com/sprint/posts/156658601067283
This last link is just what xda is thinking of it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1094914
we know that they made a statement but we want to make sure that they know that we all want this to be unlocked
So pass this along and let everyone know what is happening! thanks for your help!
The links are dead. I think this is a bogus post. Admins, please review and close this thread if it is.

No surprise with future HTC phones getting locked and/or encrypted BLs. Pressure from carriers are finally getting to HTC.
Someone from XDA will crack 'em.

Seems like sprint isn't pushing this on them though, based on what i've seen with this info it seems its HTC's part here that they want to protect their Sense UI most likely. but you can help and try to change the future because that's not something i want and i'm sure no one in xda wants this either

It appears that you cut the links from another post wherein the tag get's abbreviated (the ellipsis in the middle) but the actual href is valid. You should always right click the link and "copy address" (or however it appears in your browser) instead of selecting the text directly.
Yea I saw that I have never had that issue before but wanted to get the word out there and try to get as much help as possible

I expect far less from you now.
So from reading the replies since I'm female and not a silent lurker - does that mean that I can be a Diva and not get banned?
Just an FYI I'm a total noob here but I've been around online forums for well over a decade in various iterations... from back in the old BBS days (tho with different handle/nick/alias/whatever the cool kids are calling them these days - I wasn't a "mama" back then). I'm a social researcher these days, can't get the hardware nerdiness out of my system (I'm the biggest tech geek of any gender in the social sciences departments at my university I think... I want to cry every time one of the profs says something about using a thumbdrive and gets confused when I ask them why they don't use services Dropbox instead since there's campus-wide wifi).

THUMB DRIVES?? DROPBOX? OMG, Are you living in.. like... the DARK ages? Don't you know that we can store information in fingerprints now? Like, I have terrabytes of information all over the screen of my 7+. That information is probably more durable than ANYTHING stored on dropbox!
I just haven't figured out, yet, how to transfer that information into the tab's memory. I'll get there eventually. Maybe if I turn it inside-out.
The reason for the 'sarcastic diva' thing was based in another forums, for the sgh-i777. Someone accused all developers of being diva's, and I figured that if I was going to be called a 'diva', I'd at least be a sarcastic one.
Ban Entropy512 XD
Or, wait, do you ban someone from XDA as a whole or just the subforum?
(jklol)
Red5 -
My infractions have all expired. Can you please correct that?

It is exactly because of copyright that you can't find any download links unless there's somebody willing to give you that file and has come across this topic . Because it's copyrighted , nobody can give you the files from xda , because it has copyright . We could be sued for that .

Looking for Basis Band .apk (free app)

G'day all,
I've got a Basis Band (www.mybasis.com), and they've just released an Android App for it. Except that it's more like an Samsung App, as they've locked it to three Samsung phones and two Samsung tablets. And locked it to the US store. (This is in line with their communications since they started the company, to be fair - the truth and Basis intersect only by accident, it seems.)
I was hoping someone who meets the criteria - Samsung Galaxy SIV, Samsung Galaxy SIII, Samsung Galaxy SII, Samsung Note II or Samsung Note and access to the US Play Store - could grab it (as I said, it's free) and flick the .apk on.
I'd be grateful, perhaps not eternally, but at least for a few days
Hello,
More info:
apk:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mybasis.android.basis
If someone from USA please could extract it in apk format?? It's free.
In above post there are instructions in order to download it using market helper, but doesn't work for me.
http://www.sharehacks.com/get-basis-band-app-working-on-nexus-4-and-nexus-7/
mareket helper:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2146216
Thanks
to be honest I'm not sure how I downloaded it, but I was probably on a proxy at the time and just clicked through using my browser
heads up- they block non-US IPs and also proxies on the basis website, that's why you get the 500 error
So um, get a friend to sign you up as well; if they have a US IP.
There is a way to get around it on your phone, however I've not been able to access the website ever.
What I've been doing is;
connect to a proxy wifi hotspot, data disabled by juicedefender (might be superfluous?)
use Market Enabler to fake the provider
- if you've failed to connect before, wipe the app data from system -> apps -> basis -> clear data, cache; try again
So ... if you've downloaded it, could you put it up somewhere so we can grab it? Thanks.

Sorry, I figured you had it already. Also I didn't know how to export.

Thanks Ronald! I got the e-mail and I have a Motorola Droid Razr (original not Maxx) and it installed, allowed me to pair to my phone, and login with my userid and password successfully. Then it attempted to sync and failed on the transfer the first go-around, so I manually told it to sync (press the big button the right side of the B1 and then confirm to sync since it was already paired) and that worked fine. So, it looks like it's good to go between my B1 and Razr.
to the guys that pm'd me...check your emails. hope it works for yall!
Thanks man. It woks great on my Razor Maxx. I don't know why they don't release it for a larger audience.

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.
