I doubt that I myself have enough money to entice someone to work on my specific device, but I'm definitely willing to throw down around $100 for anyone who can help get my device rooted/work on a kernel with root protection removed/etc. Nothing fancy needed, ALL i want is for root to stick through reboot and not have to rely on temp root. Samsung Galaxy J3. Someone tell me how I can throw money at this and solve it!
You already created a similar thread here. And offering money for help is not the XDA way!

I know this is stupid...and i may not get any replies over here...
but still giving it a try...
My budget is around 20k (300$), and i needed a phone which i can give it a future update as well. Since Android L is gonna come too, i would really want it in my phone. I'm currently using Huawei Y 200, and it pretty much sucks...! (NO CUSTOM ROMS MADE FOR IT )
so guys please help me out here!!!!!!!!
Hi there,
I'd recommend asking that question in the off-topic section of XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/off-topic
Since it doesn't really regard any form of development or needing a phone to be fixed, it is probably best placed there.
You will find lots of keen XDA users who I'm sure will input and tell you what they think.
Good luck!
P.S: I'd go for the Moto G

Good Afternoon,
I was looking into purchasing SquareTrade 2 year warranty on the Note 4 when it comes out because I would definitely want to root it and maybe get some custom ROM's. I was not sure of Square trade’s policy however. My question is If the device gets damaged in a fall or lets says the headphone port stops working will they forward me to Samsung if I’m within the 1 year manufactures warranty ? Samsung will most likely check to see if Knox is tripped and deny service to the device. I do not want to purchase SquareTrade if they are just going to forward me to Samsung.
Any One have any Clues ?

Hi folks
I am completely new to the world of tweaking your android device. I didn't even know how to root a device until 24 hours ago. I wanted to install a better version of android than the stock version that came with the device and I went about reading how to do so, starting with rooting the device which I had success with. I then tried to install a custom rom called cleanonda50 rom. I spent hours trying to figure it out and somehow managed to completely botch things up. I may have bricked the device and I spent hours trying to fix the problem to no avail. I'm completely defeated and ready to send it to a professional to get it fixed. The device won't turn on and I don't know what to do.
I found a website where an android expert will remote control my computer and fix it for a fee. I was thinking (and Mods please let me know if this is frowned upon), I was looking to see if anyone would be interested in helping and instead of paying this website, I could perhaps pay you compensation for your expert advice and time by remoting into my pc and walking me through the process. Or if one of the Mods would volunteer, I could make a small donation to the forum to support with running costs. If you are interested, please send me a Private Message.
As it stands I have an expensive paperweight, so I apologize if I'm doing anything that is considered discouraging; please let me know and I will amend my post.
Thanks everyone

That is not what XDA is about, this is a Development site not pay to have work done site. I suggest you try another site, or just read and learn for yourself regarding your device.
There are tons of guides and the question sections for your device, that is the place to learn, but coming here and looking to pay someone again is not what XDA is about.

I apologize, I will address your comment
Hello, i have a SM-N900P note 3 originally on sprint, now flashed to Boost Mobile. I bought it brand new. It has android version 4.4.2 and im wanting to update to Lollipop on either a official version, or unofficial....whichever more stable. I paid a person to flash it to boost and he did so remotely, ive attempted to contact him for information on his process but have not been responded to. It is rooted and has TWRP and a full nandroid back up.
Please help me, im scared to try flashing a rom then ruining the ''boost flash''.
I can attatch pictures from my About Device if safe and helpful.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Paying someone to alter your device has left you in a position where you have a modified phone but no knowledge on how it got to that state or how to proceed. I firmly believe that if you can't take the time to learn how to do these things for yourself then you shouldn't be doing them at all. Having a modified phone, and working with a modified phone, requires a certain level of knowledge, it requires research, it requires work. Now you can see that taking the easy way initially hasn't really benefited you in the long run. Anyway, you have a lot of learning to do, Samsung phones can be especially difficult to modify due to the way that they're locked down. You're going to need to head over to the Sprint Note 3 section and start doing as much reading as you can. I can't really point to one specific thread because there's so much information that you need to take in. If you get stuck though there's a q&a section that you can ask for help in. Here's a link to the Sprint Note 3 device forum:

Lol look man, I am very familiar with flashing stock Roms and custom roms. As well as most other device modifications. I reached out for advice in hopes of hearing someone's output that may have already done this type of procedure.with that being said,if I can afford to pay someone to do what I may simply not have TIME to do,then that's my prerogative. These forums are to help people, not to write a reply that is in no way helpful. Maybe you should be the one that needs to do more reading. ☺??
P.s.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 flashed to Boost Mobile and pay only $35 a month, I'd say I was very benefited. Lmfao ???? You mad bro? ???

You came here for help and yet you LOL at the help....
Sounds like you take your device back to the carrier and stay stock but you also stated you are familiar with flashing, and yet you are "scared".
And sounds like you should be doing the reading, after all you came here to ask, vice searching and reading for yourself. Nevertheless
Good Luck and Thread Closed.

Hello,
timmaaa pointed you in the right direction, and as he suggested you will get more help posting your question in the device specific forum.
XDA Assist is not a "Support" forum it is to guide new users to areas they can find the help they need.
Please post your question in the link above or the Sprint Note 3 Q&A section to get the answer/help you are looking for.
Thread closed.
Thanks for understanding,

Is this even an option? Forgive me if this isnt something that is done. I only ask becausr I've seen posts with "bounty" in the title and it appeared like they were offering or pooling together funds to incentivize someone to work on their particular device. I have a fairly new phone and thus far there is nothing out for it. All I need is a kernel without Root protection so that root sticks through reboot and I hopefully stop boot looping when I flash Super SU. willing to pay someone as I know this is not an easy task and takes lots of work.
Hi,
You can open a bounty thread here if you wish, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help (since there is no dedicated forum section for your device)
But XDA does not get involved in these threads, in any way. Also, Bounties usually go uncollected, but when they do work, it's usually for far more popular devices. Developers usually need to own the device, sometimes more than one of them (many of them, as they destroy them attempting this), and no one will buy a J3 to work on a bounty that will likely not grow much, if any.
Again, these threads are allowed here, but Moderators will not help in any way with the finances involved, and money up front is definitely NOT allowed here. And developers often do not see most of the pledges honored either, which has made these types of threads fairly useless.
For such an obscure device, I really do think you will not find much luck to be honest.
