I see but people are just placing amount on the forum. I would like to make a formal forum with the information and total amount collected like the other bounties.

sry, please place me under "Unlock bootloader". Even when the hope for someone doing this or doable is very thin.

Root or unlocked bootloader?
does this work with version 9.30.1? i dont have root nor a unlocked bootloader, from what i read having the bootloader unlocked i should be able to still root.

Do you have you bootloader unlocked?

You don't need the bootloader to unlock. By you have that update the root process as been closed and I am trying to get a developer to work on this for all of use that have this devices and want CM or any other custom rom.

i got my phone replaced by the insurance and it came with the latest OTA (9.30.1), from what ive read on this page, people that had root lost it due to the OTA update and what save them was that their bootloader was unlucked and all they had to is reflash SU via TWRP or CWM.

That is very true... But I am assuming our bootloader is locked correct?
If it is locked then their isn't a way to unlocked the bootloader right now.
So you can't get root nor unlocked bootloader. If you want to place your money on the list then I can do that and also please share these forum on all your social network because I am trying to find a developer that want to take on this change.

Droid Ultra and Wi-Fi Tethering

Hello all! I recently got a Droid Ultra and I am costumed to using Wi-Fi tether on my Droid Razr. I had it rooted and used PDA Net Wi-Fi tethering. I paid for it and it was well worth it. I wasn't able to get the Wi-Fi tethering to work on my Ultra, only the USB tethering. It looks like we need root for tethering. Has anyone found a solution for Wi-Fi tethering on the Ultra?

Hi,
You might want to look at this thread:

It should work without root.

Have you used this method? It sounds so easy and to good to be true. Does the Ultra not have a built-in recovery to make backups with? Sorry for all the questions I just want to be careful. Thanks!

No, I haven't, because I live in Europe and we have no tethering restrictions.
It should be safe, as you only need to modify/replace the build.prop, which can easily be reverted, if you back it up beforehand.
But I replied a bit hastily, I haven't read the thread carefully, you need to be rooted for doing that (or have unlocked bootloader with TWRP installed).
I don't know if there are any other methods, which doesn't require root.
What's your build version?

Build number:
SU6-7.2
I am currently not rooted. I don't think there is a great root option for the Droid Ultra on 4.4.4. I was hoping I didn't need root for the tether.

You can gain root, but not an unlocked bootloader (no custom roms/backups, etc). Once rooted, find and download the entitlement exploit to tether. I'm using it daily and it works fine.

What is the easiest/best root method for the Ultra?

Just check out RootJunkie's youtube tutorial, follow it to the letter. Not easy, or quick, but it works great IF you follow his directions.

Looks like T-Mo variant is close to getting root_ can Sprint be far behind?

I know word on the street is that devs are going to avoid the Note 5 like the plague, but according to THIS thread, the T-Mobile variant has working TWRP and may be close to root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/dev-pre-root-firmware-twrp-testing-t3183877
Does this bode well for Sprint development as well? Let's hope.

Oh my bad then, I haven't heard anything official yet, either way I will just recommend to disable, everything you don't use, even some system apps, and you can replace them with PlayStore apps, like calendar, calculator, clocks, browsers, I hope you get im what im saying :fingers-crossed:

APNs are used to identify what network a phone is on or used on. It's carrier unlocked out of the box/from the factory.

TMobile. You'll need the apn settings from the carrier your on
However you should only have to add the sim and it should recognize it automatically
