Someone selling WM6 on eBay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Windows-Mobil...oryZ3312QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Well I must admit this is pretty low, chances are the person selling it is on this board too.
Selling your own hard work is fine, selling others non profitable hard work is pathetic, I hope the person responsible is feeling very guilty about now!

That stinks, someone should find out who this guy is?
£1.99 very appealing until you see he is charging £8.01 for postage on an electronic download.
Maybe he'll donate the money to xda developers - I don't think.

He did donate though, not much.

wm06 on ebay
Hi guys
As there is apx 244,000 members on here perhaps we should ALL ask him a question about where its from - wonder what ebay's response would be?
It might stop him from profiting from others hard work - unless of course it is genuine

Link please?
What a stupid person ! ! !
If it is for Universal, Video Calling is not properly working yet and he/she will be screwed.

Link is in the first post, yes he is selling the Universal without the video call!!

Have asked the question lets see what he comes back with!

WM6
Don`t think anyone will get a reply now as Ebay have removed and cancelled the posting !!...that was quick for a change!!.

judging by the feedback, hes already made £120 out of it.

Take out his selling fees and that he has been suspended from Ebay and all the trouble he's gone to the profit wasn't worth it...
Should be thrown off this site too...

Good point stelladel.....

Reply from the seller
This is the reply I got from the seller NOT from me personally as from following post it looks if it was me IT IS NOT just to make it as clear as day (and if the mods wish to ban the seller) they can PM me and I will send his name.
I've put an ADD on email with a step by step guide to flash the devices.I've seen a lot of "mod" people bricking their devices due to a bad explanation of the flashing process,complicated links,corrupted files and so on.IE: I myself colected information from a developer site and tried to flash an Imate Jam and after the process was done...it was bricked!!!End of story I ended up with a worthless device and no support whatsoever!!!
So I had this idea of making a friendly step by step guide and offering a support to the buyers in case the flash process goes wrong. And don't tell me it is a risk free process...For instace from the 15 roms I've sold out I had to give support for 3 buyers that even with the step by step guide they manage to not completely follow the steps and needed extra support (such as special roms that are able to recover half bricked devices).
So what I actually offer is a lower risk to the buyers.Up to 85% of my buyers know that these tool I'm selling might be "free" elsewhere. But this "free" means no support as well.So this is a great value for money choice as all the tec stuff and tools needed are gathered together with download links,explanation,step by step guide and support by email or msn or even by phone in English, Portuguese or Spanish.
So this is what I offer. Part of the money gathered are sent to the development site so we can keep improving HTC devices.
Best Regards
(I do have his name but not that evil to post it)

sure, that's why you want 8 Bucks for the Download right?
You suck guy, no one here will believe your stupid "oh i did nothing wrong" bull....
You tried to earn Money with other peoples work and with non-licensed software. You can't deny that and that's exactly why you should be banned out of every single ppc-board (this, pdamobiz, etc) forever.
Everyone gets support here within a few hours, i don't think some like you is only even almost able to replace all the knowledge of the pplz in this and other ppc-boards.
So got and tell your fairytales some who is stupid enough to believe you.

Reply to the seller
Whether you offered support or not is not applicable, the simple fact is you tried to profiteer from other peoples work without their permission.
You broke the ethics of this board in doing so, caused a certain amount of distress - these actions you took without consideration to the developers, or board members.
If you believe you perceived intentions were honourable and justified then that is your opinion. I believe as do others that posted on this topic you were wrong to do so, as apparently do Ebay.

Why nobody believe me? lol

In fairness, you are asking people to finance your dream vs donating to keep something already established afloat.
I'm not exactly clear on what unique value this site will offer.
Start with your free host - build a rep and then step it up once you start getting traffic.
Prove your worth before you ask people to invest.

You really should just delete this thread..

This thread is going nowhere and on it's way to evoling into a flame war between users.

JayJay - since this is a useless thread, let me add some value
This pains me every time I see it ... and I'll explain why:
WinMoDevelopers.co.cc
Forums for NON HTC Devices
The idea of a WinMo Forum place for non HTC devices is great. But for the life of me I would never ever be able to remember that URL.... It's really, sorry to say, terrible for branding, terrible for memory, and by the very use of .cc it looks amateurish. And the only reason why I point this out -- to be helpful actually -- is that I just did a quick domain search and all 3 of these are available -- as dotcoms -- the universal easy-to-remember address -- since you more or less drop the .com and only have to remember the first part.
To reach the same audience you wish to reach more of, I believe you'd do much better with one of these.... and that was just my first-pass thinking in 2 minutes... please don't take offense. Branding is important... it's also not something everyone is naturally good at. best regards, /qs
WinMoDevices.com
WMdeviceforums.com
WinMoPhoneforums.com

the idea was to have a simialr forum for nonhtc devices
the issue is my forum is a new forum
it has yet to recieve any finacial donations and it uses a forumer.com forum so i cant pick up the software like vbulletin and input it inot a server or whatnot just yet
also since there is no money being donated and im not making any due to unemployment then im having trouble finding the money to buy a domain
so until i get a job or i get any donations then itll have to be a free domain till then
also it cant all be that bad, a goolge search for winmodevelopers brings up every ite i have.
btw
i find it hard to take offence here after the first few flames i got when i started

I gotcha.. i didn't know it was a free domain. I also understand well re economic times, amigo, and I wish you well. I totally see the value of this additional WM niche not served nearly as well at HTC owners. I want to talk to you about that. And secondly I would like to buy a domain for you-- it's 10$ /year... and I can offer you hosting, perhaps w vB. I do have it installed. You may have zero time right now, and perhaps zero motivation/interest at moment due to much higher prioroties, but I think there are opportunities there and for you to play a bridge role between sites would be great. When you are READY to chat please send me an email. (see my profile). Thanks, and glad you weren't offended. It hadn't occurred to me that the name was formatted that way due to beung free.
best regards/ quicksite.

[Q] Advertising my first app

Hello dear fellow XDA members
About 2 months ago, I got interested in Android App Development. Having no Java experience, I looked around the internet for tutorials on it.
Fast forward to today and here I am, able to make some basic yet useful applications. I've been thinking about making a few bucks by in-app advertising and in-app purchases. I have a few questions:
1) Do you think it is advisable to put ads in my app? What if the number of downloads are pretty good?
2 How many downloads should I have on my app so as to put ads in my app successfully?
3) Is admob free? Are there any fees that I have to pay so as to get ads on my app?
4) How, where and which type of adds will I get for my app? Is there some specific procedure to go through so as to add advertisements to my app?
Answers to the above questions and a basic step-by-step (along with all the money I have to pay for ads) mini tutorial of how advertising should be done would be very helpful
Thanks in advance
p.s. XDA is awesome :"D

Why you even want to put ads in your app
make it open source and developers will support you and you will get many donates for you

Thanks but that wasn't the type of answer I was looking for.
Anyways, I was just curious about the ads part. I'll give a thought bout making it open source. Maybe sometime later but not now.
So if you could just clarify my doubts based on the ads part, I'd be very thankful

So if you'd answer my questions regarding ads, I'd be satisfied

Surprise-surprise. I already did use Google. Didn't get any proper answers that could satisfy me. Hence I asked.
Again, thanks for the piping hot answers etc etc

This is a quote from another developer from the Unity forums. The link is at the end of the quote, I copied and pasted this is unaltered.
"I hear the average cost to acquire a new user via AdMob is about $2 per user. If you charge $1 buck per game (earning yourself 70c,) that's definitively not cost effective, and worse: the $2 is more of an average based on the fact that most people using AdMob are freemium games. If you are actually selling your game, it's very likely fewer users will even look at your game even if they click on the ad.*
Download a game with ads, and look at what gets promoted. There is a reason why most the stuff there are free games. Not to mention: if a user is seeing those ads, it's very likely because they rather see ads than pay to buy the ad-free version, what makes you think that kind of user will click on an ad to BUY a game. However, many may get a free game, and once playing, the game may employ psychological games to trigger the gambling urge to spend money with IAP."

Hope that helps on one of your questions. I research, I'm not a developer. There was a lot more that I found, but I can't do all the work.?

How To Guide Asus Rogphone 5 EDL 9008 Sloution

Hello, long time no see you in this xda forum.
Today we will meet again in the issue of Asus Rogphone 5 EDL 9008.
As far as I know, they don't provide any unbrick tools, nor do any technicians support this issue on public social networking forums.
Today I bring you the good news that your device, the 9008 bricked devices, can be repaired with the repair boot firmware that I have dealt with, but it is not free because it is the brainpower of our entire team. We just bring you the good news that the bricked device will be saved, not thrown in the trash like a damaged thing.
Link1: Repair Boot Rogphone5 (tester)-free [Mod Edit] Link Removed
Link2: Fw Unbrick 9008 Rogphone 5 (Success)-buy-or-donate (block link do not share)
I will attach the link of the necessary files, and some pictures that prove that the device will be saved by the gray matter firmware created by highly qualified technicians. Anyone who has experienced this 9008 problem, comment below we will assist you with free tips first, if it still doesn't work, it's time for you to need repair boot firmware and it will be at your expense.
Glad to be able to Unbrick the device for you, as well as bring this great news, which is really exciting and blessed news.
IMG1: First need to flash the repair boot firmware or unbrick through the file reading tools
IMG2: after you guys have finished flashing you can choose to start it manually or auto start it before on flash tool. You can see the start menu will be different from the 3rd photo, because this is the notification menu after we have repaired boot - unbrick successfully, and will show us a lot of information about the device such as: imei1-2-sn-vv.vv for example.
IMG3: this is the last picture, as you can see this is the normal start menu of the device, exactly that, because after the repair boot - unbrick is successful, your next thing is to flash your rom.raw asus via fastboot (bootloader), and re-enter recovery after flashing is complete, and finally wipe data/factory before rebooting the system.
Closing: Here's everything we've done, created them, and proved to everyone that it works. as well as we have successfully saved a series of devices all over the world. From now on you can safely use the device, and don't worry about bricked problems when switching between rom versions, because we have a solution.

So tl;dr you're trying to sell the Qualcomm EDL restore firmware?

I'm confused.
However just in case I'll ever need it - how much is this not sold free solution?

They charge $70 to unlock your bootloader through TeamViewer, to which they intentionally brick.
And they charge you $150 for the service.
Don't believe anything these people say, and don't trust the files.

This reminds me of the tech sites that claim they will walk you though a full restore without wiping your data and the first step is to wipe your data.

sorry about the issue you raised, however they were created by individual developers, and have been successful, and will have a charter cost.
You need to consider when owning them, at a reasonable cost and right for your needs. Like I said, I share information, and I have no intention of selling it to xda members. because its cost is not cheap, and not right for your needs.
If you can make your own unbrick 9008 or repair boot firmware, for free, use them, and share it for free to the community.
Here I only share information, I do not sell solutions, do not ask anyone to buy solutions.

That's like calling eBay a photo sharing site for preowned items. Since you aren't attempting to sell Qualcomm's internal repair software, I passed the info along to them to see if they could confirm its authenticity.

Shouldn't this post be deleted? I mean it's obviously a kind of scam. Or do I miss something?

If you feel it violates the rules, click the report button in the bottom left.
I kinda feel bad calling it a scam. There isn't even ad revenue to be made.

Well I am not really sure as well but I feels strange to say "I'm not selling it - but it will cost you something, but if you have it share it for free, but I won't give it for free"
Maybe I just misunderstood everything but when I share my software I usually provide a free download link maybe even with a repository and when I sell it I tag a price and make it obvious.

I think this is what they mean by "victimless crime"

I have one last word, for all users who want to save their device but want a free solution, I am afraid that you will spend a lot of time waiting for the free version to be released from the past. who already owns the solution.
Here are some pictures, information I provide, to show that it is a perfect file, works well, and is written by a high-tech programmer according to 9008 standard and only works at port 9008.
This information statement is for everyone who says that this is a scam, trading between members. I repeat, I only share information, I do not want to trade with users.
Because if you are just a normal user, you have no experience, the support tool to fully flash these 9008 firmware...
It is a service for technicians, programmers, and need to rescue the device before throwing it in the trash because there is no way to save it.
#I share information, the solution is only for the whole world, and it is only for shops, phone systems, experienced software technicians, it is absolutely not shared for level users. low level.

Alright, enough is enough...
The pictures only show the raw firmware, but this thread definitely violates a few rules. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/xda-developers-forum-rules.4200559/ Section 9, 11, and 12 (3) for the rules in question.

I did warn everybody that this person is not to be trusted.
My mate paid 90 Australian dollars to have his bootloader unlocked. They "unlocked" it (but they actually bricked it) and then they told him that "it's late and they're tired, & they're going to sleep"
So he made a dispute with PayPal to get his money returned, and all hell broke loose with SFMobile.
They started abusing him and insulting him over Facebook Messenger.
He then contacted PayPal and had their account flagged for scamming.
They are not to be trusted

You don't need to convince me.

Good morning everyone
[Thread Closed] for its commercially tainted nature. XDA is about open and free development. We encourage everyone to support the hard working developers that share their amazing work here but paid services does not match that ideology. Even more so if they are not the author of said work. It's a matter of respect and our shared love for development and technology.
Or as put in our Forum Rules:
12. Sharing
XDA-Developers is based on the principle of sharing to transmit knowledge. This is the cornerstone of our site. Our members and developers freely share their experience, knowledge, and finished works with the rest of the community to promote growth within the developer community, and to encourage those still learning to become better. There are those, however, who take advantage of this model and try to make personal gains from the hard work of others.
