OK, in the spirit of what ACD168 started, would anyone be interested in going in on an XTC clip? I would have rather waited for Alpharev, but I'm going over seas in a few weeks and want to unlock the SIM on my company DINC2 so I can call the wife and kids with my own card which only the XTC clip can do.
So...I'm going to buy an XTC clip regardless, but I figure if a bunch of folks want in it can benefit more than one person.
I'll front the money on a regular XTC clip (not pay as you go) - I'm looking for 10 people (makes math easy after a rockin 4th of July party weekend), but I would take whatever number of people want in.
With the current Euro exchange rate it would be about $14 each which is cheaper than the Pay as you Go credit.
And as ACD168 alluded to - karma is a *****; it will mess with you if you mess with it. This is an honor system!
What do you all think?
Mods, if you feel like this post is out of line just delete it.

I am down to go in on it, you can hit me up here or at cadon69 @ gmail.com. Let me know.
Ok - 1 down. Any more takers?
Just put in the order now, so hopefully I'll receive it before I have to leave!!
if geography isn't a factor and there is a "for dummies" tut. on how to....I'm down!
sent from my Inc 2 using xda premium app
I"m possibly interested, do you just ship it to the next person after you use it?
From what I understand its pretty easy windows software...kind of like Unrevoked 1-click root if you had an Inc1.
The way I see it geography isn't an issue...we'll just ship it to each other which shouldn't be very expensive.
I think I'm in, $14 isn't too bad at all. I'll have to look up what exactly it does.
If it's as easy as unrevoked on the inc1, it can't get any easier.
Once you run this, it's S-OFF and rooted?
I'd be down.

I can send it out from my work after I use it with Fed Ex Over Night for free. So I know geography (as long as in ConUS) is not an issue from me to next person.
Once you run this your phone is S-Off, and completely SIM unlocked. It doesn't install the su apk or any custom hboot, recovery, etc. However this has already been put together by jcase, so you would just flash a new recovery/hboot and your off an running and ready to install a new ROM.
looks like there are 4 interested so far. Like I said I already ordered the clip so as soon as I get it i'll just send it out to cadon69 who can send it to Istarr, etc.
Paypal for the $14...but I'll get that info out later after there is enough interest
just my luck.. hours after i purchase a pay as you go from ebay, these threads come up..
I'm interested. Sign me up and let me know how we'll get you the $14 and how we go about tracking the usage and sending from one person to the next.

..buying the Galaxy S3, and instead waiting for the next Nexus?
I'm sick of waiting for a new hardware qwerty to come out (will it ever?) and my Vision is really starting to show it's age, looks and performance-wise.
So I need a new phone, like yesterday. The S3 is begging me to buy it. Can you convince me otherwise?

Sure. Just send me the $ you'd spend on the GS3 and you can't buy it. Done deal.
Have you looked into the HTC Doubleshot?
It's a great qwerty phone that I've been using for the past few months to replace my old G2
And we've been getting a good amount of dev action recently too. Check out the threads

You're sick of waiting. Your Vision is starting to suck. Get the best phone right now, rather than waiting. Waiting is generally silly when it comes to tech. Sorry to not be talking you out of the S3, but it's going to blow your G2/Vision away, even without the QWERTY..
I'm thinking of doing the same, because it seems that we won't get a decent, customizable phone with a hardware keyboard in the foreseeable future..
For what it's worth, if Google goes with Samsung the next Nexus will prob be a slightly tweaked GSIII.
Don't keep looking toward the horizon, find a phone you like now (or the near future) and get it. Something better is ALWAYS coming.
I agree with Nospin pretty much. Keep your G2 for now. There aren't many phones right now that are very much comparable IMO. I've got ICS running on mine and its lightening fast. Every time I go to check out the new phones I can't help but think mine is slightly better of just as good. So why spend the money on something new when you don't need it? Just keep flashing away until you find something that fits you, but again IMO, be like me and go with Adromadus Audacity...its a great ROM.

well I was talking about the looking toward the horizon part. Better to just stick with the G2 for now as there are all of these "better phones" out now. Wait it out until something REALLY good catches your eye, for now the G2 does what all of the new phones do if not more.

Buy one off eBay. Or I'm willing to sell you my spare if you don't mind paying shipping costs (PM me)
EDIT: if there are any devs that would like to get into this device, please PM me. I can sort you with a device for a lot less than what you normally would pay, possibly even free
This is NOT an advertisement. Just trying to stimulate development for our device

So, since Sonic has this javacard that is able to get s-off for us on the HTC One, is anyone still looking at getting bootloader unlock / root / s-off in any other fashion? Or has this line of thinking been dropped all together? As in devs thinking it's not possible? Just curious as I would really like to get it done, but can't, because of my job, be without my phone. If it all comes to that, I will figure a way to get my phone to him. I have not pledged anything as of yet as I was waiting to find out what was going to happen.

a dev just got enough donations to get the htc one and is going to work on a software exploit. Apparently the new hboot (1.54?) is so far locked down across carriers/ countries so hopefully, there will be plenty of devs working on this in the future.
Though I probably will get impatient and mail mine off in a week...
I personally don't think anyone would start working on this until the 4.3 update is out. With a new update, there could be a new hboot and different exploits.
I am a pretty new dev but I have not abandoned finding an exploit. Be patient, we will find one eventually.
I was just concerned that it had kinda fallen to the wayside since there is currently another way to get s-off. I hadn't seen anything in the last few days about finding a software exploit and it got me thinking about it. I never made a pledge in that thread due to that line of thinking. Figured if someone gets us root / unlocked I would send to them directly.

This is true, but the bounty still re-mains for whomever cracks the code.
If you pledged and then did S-OFF with Sonic, your pledge still counts, and I feel most members will honor their word.
So one would hope anyway.
Just because none is posting about their progress doesn't mean it isn't being attended to. There is a lot of talent poking at it. It'll happen.

very true, take a look at older devices for example, some took up to 6 months..
you can send the phone to sonic or play the waiting game.
I am sending to Sonic personally. Got a nice box with some good bubble wrap and feel comfortable enough that it will hopefully not get lost and or stolen.
no risk no reward.

I think it will be, I am a bit weary sending my $600 phone without insurance from NY to CO, but still worth it for me.
(does the $15 include the $600 insurance for the phone when he ships it back? or if it's lost or stolen on way back to you, what happens?)
I was hoping I could get my phone out today, but it looks like business calls again and can't be without it.
I am HTC Dev unlocked so I am not in NEED necessarily of S-OFF, just would like to have it to poke around.
I am going to lay low let those who really need it, the ones who got stuck not being able to do HTC Dev, then if credits are still there I will send it out. No need for me to be greedy and use a credit when it's not needed, yet anyway, I really want S-OFF, but I think others deserve it first since I am already rooted.

how much insurance did you put on the phone, also how does it work do you need a receipt to prove that the item is worth that much, do you just pay for insurance, also how much insurance did you get for the $16?

He bought it yesterday , so I'm really ****ed. I talked to him on the phone and he was somewhat crying as he was hardly able to afford this after selling his laptop , as it's in India and it's really expensive in India. He didn't buy it from Google, so no RMA there.
I dropped it, sides got scratched :crying:. The scratches isn't on the back cover or the display. It's on the very sides (between the screen and the back) I don't know what that part is called, it's a glossy black which is rounded on the screen, may as well be a part of the screen.(I hope not)
I can I think afford 30-40$ max to get his tablet fixed, not more than that unfortunately. He bought it for 390$(Indian price).
Please Please, help a fellow member out I was about to root this thing for him so he can have some goodies but sooo unfortunate of this event. It's 12AM right now and I will be meeting him at 11AM tomorrow and I really don't want him to get much worried(not that he already is) and he is my best friend so that can ruin our friendship aswell :crying::crying::crying:

Not sure how you're going to find that particular part for it, much less find it for 40 bucks or less, maybe buy him a fosman TPU case to cover up the markings.
Might be helpful if you posted a pic.

You can't repair the screen like that.
Full replacement or none at all.
Either he forgives you which is going to be hard, under the circumstances you mentioned or you sell your Nexus 5 and buy him a new Nexus.
Then, take his old Nexus, sell it and buy another phone for yourself.

Wow! Definitely sucks for both of you! Sometimes doing a favor for a friend will turn around and bite you on the ass! I'm not going to comment about if you end up having to sell your N5 to make it right and your parents have a problem with it. I think you know that you have to make it right, even if it means using a dumb phone for a while. Talk to your friend, see what he wants you to do, suck it up!

Well. After only having this phone for a couple months I've learned the screen is not to great at handling falls lol. I dropped it and the screen is broke. It still works and the touchscreen works but I'm gonna get a new one from Walmart ina couple days. Would any devs be interested in wanting this model when I get the new one?

Bump. Any devs claimed this yet! Be a great way to get. Headstart on this phone. Personally think it's an Excellent phone.
No devs have claimed this yet
I'll claim it! I'm not a dev, I don't want to mislead you...
But I'd pay for shipping and your time, if no one else wants it.
I really like these phones... I have one myself, and I'd like for my fiance' to try it out (gotta pry the iPhone away from her though!).
Just lemme know if you're interested in getting rid of it to a non-developer. Thanks and take care!

If no devs decide to take up on the offer withing the next week then we can talk. But I will say again the screen is pretty spiderwebbed. I'm using it as I type this so it is still functional. But tbh I'll screw myself on the money saying this lol just go up to Walmart and get it. They sell it here in Ohio for 83.44 after taxes. Not sure what state your in so the taxes might be slightly higher but yeah the moto g6 play is sold cheaper at Walmart than boost Mobile themselves sell it for. They sell it for I believe 129.99 at boost Mobile stores and online so Walmart is the place to go lol

I'd consider it, but my current problem is that I don't even have enough time to properly maintain the device I currently support, let alone taking on yet another device. If nobody has claimed this device in a few months once my other devices (msm8916 family, msm8610 family, perry) are in good shape on LOS 15.1 or LOS 16, then I'd consider taking on this device. However, as of now, I just don't have time to take on yet another device. Sorry. Hopefully someone else will come along to take on this device - Motorola devices are popular with developers.
