Hi all, as you all know, I host the guide to flash Tornado to WM6 in my free hosting website. Since day 1, the amount of traffic to the website is getting more and more.
Months ago, I would only reach around 40% of the 6gb free bandwidth allocated but recently, it has increased and this month, I have used up all the bandwidth allocated and as the result, my website is temporarily banned for this month. While its alright for this month as the website will be restored in a couple of day when next month begin.
However, soon, the 6gb of bandwidth would not be able to sustain for half a month based on the traffic pattern.
Hence, I am appealing to anyone who can afford to donate to help me pay for the paid hosting. I am only a student and do not have any credit card.
Note that the money would only be used to pay for paid hosting and not for any personal usage. If I am able to get a paid hosting, I would also host the latest ROMS so that it can be downloaded directly using HTTP and not via rapidshare, etc.
I hope that by keeping the guide online, many people can continue to receive the latest update on the ROM developed at xda-developers and many more can flash their phone without bricking their devices.
Payment can be done via paypal to karhoe at msn dot com
Thanks in advance.

Holy cow! CM just posted this on Facebook a few minutes ago. I hope this guy gets whats coming to him. Real **** move if ya ask me.
Original Post - https://www.facebook.com/CyanogenMod/posts/10152367978770425
We at CM are very trusting of our members, showed by both respect and permissions granted to those people we consider part of the team. Last month, this trust was violated in a substantial way. In the spirit of openness, here is what happened.
CM’s history is well established, with Cyanogen releasing his original ROM for the G1 on XDA forums. Back then, there was no “CyanogenMod” in terms of the organization and structure that we have today. The builds were hosted on Steve’s personal machine, the original server was a donation of spare kit from Phaseburn. And due to the small size (and lack of funds), the CyanogenMod.com domain was bought by a third-party back in 2009 and donated to CM, when CM was a much smaller project and had no online presence besides XDA.
Fast-forward 3 years, we have 3 extremely powerful build boxes donated by the community and an army of developers, contributors, and supported devices. But, a little over a week ago, things took a bad turn. The person owning the CyanogenMod.com domain was caught impersonating Steve to make referral deals with community sites. When confronted and asked to hand over control of the domain amicably, he decided he wanted 10K USD for it, which we won't (and can't) pay.
We contacted those he had established deals with, only to discover that the person tasked with maintaining our web presence was setting up deals under the CM name, and impersonating Cyanogen himself. Plenty of satisfying evidence was provided by those sites / entities to make us certain that this wasn't a misunderstanding or one-time thing.
This leaves us at a critical impasse. Being trusted with CM’s web presence means this member had control over the CM social network accounts (Twitter/FB) as well as domains (cyanogenmod.com). We have changed ownership of the social media accounts. When asked again to make the transition nicely, he responded with the following
“Hi, so you think by removing all my access across the infrastructure was going to be a great idea? We had a chat yesterday, you've decided to end this bitter. How about I just change the DNS entries right now. CM will practically go down.”
Refusing to be extorted for funds, and then being threatened is “ending it bitter”? Today, it happened: all of our records were deleted, and cyanogenmod.com is slowly expiring out of the Internet and being replaced by blank pages and non-existing sites. @cyanogenmod.com e-mail is now being directed to a mailserver completely out of our control, too.
We have begun the dispute process with ICANN to reclaim our domain. In the meantime, please utilize CyanogenMod.org and all applicable subdomains.
As mentioned, this member also managed our Google Apps for Business account, and therefore our @cyanogenmod.com email addresses. These addresses should be considered discontinued until further notice. We will be contacting the Google team to reclaim rights to the apps account. In the meantime, please contact [email protected] for any devrel questions or other issues. A mailserver is being established to transition devrel and other support email addresses. We will provide those when they are finalized, and they will utilize the .org domain.
We don’t like how this played out, and we are deeply hurt. Likewise, we are deeply saddened at the confusion this may have caused the community. We will continue to be open about the what, when, how, but unfortunately, we may never know the ‘why’ - though greed comes to mind. The team itself has not made a profit off of CM and that is not our goal. But to have one of our own betray the community like this is beyond our comprehension. We will update you all as things progress.
Know that we are pursuing every available legal means to regain control over our domain.
Please note, all donations that were given directly to Cyanogen (aka [email protected]b.org) did indeed reach their destination and are not affected.
If you are a company out there that believes they have also entered into agreements with “CM” by this person impersonating Steve, please contact [email protected]. We’d like to get a handle on how widespread this was before we file charges.

I run CM on my Hero and once and a while a CM based ROM on my Evo3D and like CM or not, these guys have worked hard to support a lot of android devices and have brought a lot to the table if you ask me.
If this is in the wrong place feel free to move it.
I find it hilarious lol. As sad as this is, it was pretty ballsy of him which you have to give props to.

How many times you gonna post this same comment? It'd be pretty ballsy of you to post something different from time to time. But we probably wouldn't give props if you did.

Hello everyone, I really hate to have to come to XDA and express this type of situation, but I've basically hit rock bottom in the last couple of years. If there was ever anything called bad luck, well I must have been the one who invented it. Basically all the volunteer contributions I've provided to the mobile community, linux-kernel mainline, Slackware, Suse/OpenSuse, and all my independent projects have been solely on my own time and with my passion for working with Open Source. Some of you may remember me mostly for my infamous kernels I designed for the Iconia Tabs, others may know me from IRC, or just follow me on github. Lately I've desperately been seeking employment to use my education/skills/experience in the IT field specifically Linux System Administration and/or DevOps, but living in rural Kentucky seems to put a liability on most jobs I seek.
Long story short my family and I are living with some situations that are quite unheard of in modern time. If you don't care to share my fundraiser with your friends/family and if you can donate anything at all to help my children and family have a better home and what most people take for granted I'd greatly greatly appreciate it, and with the help I'll most likely be able to devote some time to the projects I love. I thank each and every one of my supporters so much!
Here is the gofundme link:

I'm really sorry about your situation, but need to say that as per forum rules any kind of fundraising is forbidden.
You can put a PayPal donation link in your signature so anyone who liked your work can donate to you and that's the only allowed way on XDA.
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 only share information, I'm not selling solutions, if you guys have them for free please share them for free, and make them available to everyone.I repeat, I only share information, I no buy and sell any solution for members of xda

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.
