WTF EC05 in the developer section

So let me get this straight, there is now a developer that has EC05, but you have to register to get it. I tried and get Access denied when trying to download. On a side note EC05 has been released and there aren't 10 mirrors up of it yet? I don't know what is going on with the politics over there, I don't really care or follow it that closely. But what I do know is when I hear that an operating system is leaked I come here to get it. All of a sudden that's not going to happen any more without hoops to jump through, registration and a nag screen for a donation? I wonder if the guys in the Evo forums put up with this am-mature hour BS?

Unfortunately, I've seen this happen everywhere. It is not a Samsung and/or Epic specific issue... Find it hard to believe that with all the different ROM.s for Evo that there isn't the occasional crap about who took what from whom without credit (not that this is this problem). Here, we have someone who got a leak from an inside source and to protect the source, he's done things somewhat differently. Do I agree, well not really sure...I don't want to register to get something (and he is NOT charging) but then again, I had to register to post and get stuff here... So, not that big of a deal. I'm totally happy with ViperRoms BUT I understand what Mammon88 has done and why...but I can see XDA's point too. Just the latest round of politics! If not this, then it would be something else.

Either the stock or bonsai needed off it will work at this point. I'm just shocked that politics are causing a delay in EC05 stock to be put up on these forums. After all it's already OTA at this point. At this point I'll probably wait until tomorrow for an update.zip. I just figured by history it would have already been made available.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Mammon88 can't release the EC05 he has because the digital fingerprints are on the file which would lead back to the person who leaked it in the first place. So the only way to get stock EC05 is to wait for Sprint's release. Glad I'm running Bonsai 4.0.0 right now as I don't want to wait.

just to be honest here, if Mammon can remove the 'fingerprint' from the leaked copy, and put it on Bonsai 4.0, then why can't he release the stock version, fingerprint removed? Didn't he already attempt to do this, but the thread was shut down due to linking to the Bonsai site, which requires registration (not that a mirror is still in the locked thread anyways)? Im pretty sure the registration process does not remove said fingerprint itself.
I have to point out that I think he/they have the right to do WHATEVER they want with the leaked version, as it's not open source, it's a leak... BUT, the whole website membership business is disappointing, yes, it seems just an inconvenience, but if there is/will be paid premium support... it really doesn't belong on here, then does it? Honestly I am just sick of the drama, and apologetics for this whole thing, and I cant imagine what would have happened had it been Noobnl who had the leak, and then proceeded to make such a process... half the members would be asking for his head, no? I don't feel entitled to a thing, but pressure for donations, not to mention having to register for yet another website is not in the spirit of this site.
Why not just post a no-strings attached link here, or even on the Bonsai site...?
I guess demand drives things, as the wait for EB13 prompted half the site to revert to DI18 just to get the OTA and get the update.zip... now it would seem there are far fewer people doing this. /rant

I'm sure mammon and randy are just quaking in their boots with your veiled threats of violence.

All this just confirms that my next device will have to be a Nexus device. We wont have to wait for releases as long that way.

I was just out at the Sprint store the other day talking about just this same thing. Decided to wait a week or so and see what else falls out of the tree. Sprint has lots of new android stuff coming out in the next few weeks.

Mammon and Randy font owe anything to you guys on here. If you can't take 2 mins to register to get a FREE download that they spent HOURS doing then you shouldn't have it. Be a little more appreciative of what people do.

I tried registering, and when I try to download I get a access denied page. All I want is the leak I didn't need him to do anything to it. I'm appreciative of the devs, don't get me wrong. But the politics that have started to affect peoples experience with what the devs offer is getting out of control.

Politics aren't causing anything. Maybe you didn't mean to come across the way you did but it comes across as "entitled". Bonsai is NOT based on the OTA. They don't have it. There is NOTHING to leak as you put it. If it was then we could flash the modem and not be required to odin. To the best of my knowledge the OTA hasn't hit yet. When it does you will see the posts start popping up. Until either be patient or use one of the EC05 ROMs already available.

Thank you....And honestly it's more then hours.. It was DAYS....

Guys please go about your morning. Drink your coffee smoke your butts and relax. The OTA is coming sooner then later. Trust me when I tell you, your phone will function about the same. All this hxoopla over a OTA is comical at best.

Absolutley ridicilous. You all need to chill out relax. And respect the devs who bring you these roms for free. You act like its owed to you or something. Do u not realize these devs do this on there dime in there own time. Relaaaaaaaaaax. Be patient. This has become so ridicilous no one has respect or appreciates wha they do. And those who complain should be baned in my oppinion.

Honestly no one wants to hear it from some jackass that TALKED SOOOOOOO MUCH **** ABOUT SOFTWARE ROOT ANYWAY. Follow the rules and search before posting useless information that has been already posted! No one cares that you just found this out and you really don't need to open a thread every time you find something new out. This isn't Twitter. This is why the Dinc2 community is CRAP. No one even wants to Dev for us because some of us are ungrateful jerks. People don't forget, and if I recall correctly let me show you how grateful you are.

It took me a whole 3 minutes tops, because I know how to use the SEARCH button. and I can't SPAM a USELESS thread, this will be deleted once you waste a Mods time and they get around to it.

its not worth argueing with him andybones,hes obviously an idiot who simply cant do a search before posting a crappy useless thread

I have to check the website. Curious if there is a way to block users who spam the forum. I actually hope a mod deletes it, nobody wants to hear your useless arguing. As for me creating useless threads, I think I have created 3 threads total so far, and one of them helped quite a few people with their alarm clock issues.
For now I am just going to manually ignore you guys. Type away at me, not even going to bother reading them. I will be the mature one.
Edit: wow, just checked my other thread and you argued with someone else in that thread. Do you actually do anything on this site besides argue with others because reading through your comment history it sure seems like all you do is argue, you are ignored for sure.

For how many days did you down talk alpharevX, and now use their product? I highly doubt you donated. and I'm not arguing, I'm responding, and my first post was blowing off a little steam because it's people like you who CRAP these threads up.. it's not wonder all the REAL devs left XDA. useless, ungrateful people like yourself.

Is this OTA dump kosher.
I may not be getting OTA in my location. So I went fishing and came across this.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...8-605-4-same-as-the-official-gingerbread-ota/
They claim it is the same as the OTA but since it can be RUU'ed will work on all phones, incl. those with modification to the ROM.
Has anybody tried this one? Also, since I have never gone the RUU route some additional instructions will be most welcome.

If you are not s off, just flash it. If it has been tampered with than the update should fail. It isn't todays ota though, it is the one from a few weeks ago.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk

Thanks @kingsway8605. This is the only one I could find. About two weeks old. Any other URL's?
Presumably the flashing involved copying the file (with changed name) to SD card root. Remove the USB cable and then do <volume down> + <power>. I hope the follow up is pretty simple and straight forward. I do not have much Android experience.

You've no reason to apologize, it's not on you man, just slowly build up your post count by helping and you'll be able to share your guide so that people are able to see it, can never have too many.
The whole arguing thing was bound to happen, not your fault.
@alextjen Just calm it down a few hundred levels, you're taking it too personally, it is just a forum and not real life, no reason to let it ruin your day.

Perhaps you can add how to get to a custom ROM on your site which is quicker than the whole rooting thing. Odin in CWM 5.0.2.7 with reboot unchecked. After completion boot into CWM immediately and flash a previously downloaded prerooted custom GB ROM.

lol, I didnt even know that was possible. I always thought gingerbread had something in it that automatically flashed stock recovery everytime the phone is started. Thats why i always odin back to stock froyo, update to ei22, root, then flash.
So as long as a custom ROM is rooted, for instance..... ACS, Marcusant, or Sleeper, I can just ODIN ClockworkMOD, not reboot, boot up recovery, install the rom, and im good to go?

Yup. Saves a few steps since the prerooted kernel is in the ROM. And you are right if you reboot before going to CWM and flashing the ROM, you end up back at stock recovery.

Kennyglass, how do I get out of download mode after I install CWM? I unchecked auto-reboot, and it just sits in download mode. Do I remove the battery? I did anyways... lol. Im installing starskyrom now to see if im rooted.

[Q] BRAVIA Rom?

So what's the scoop? It looks like a sweet ROM I was curious what the major differences are. I assume it has some extra functionality or something but I haven't been able find much of substance the wiki page on it wasn't exactly useful...

I've been wondering myself what differences come along with a "bravia engine".

Yeah, everyone links to the Wiki page for BRAVIA which has next to no information about cellphones and pretty much completely worthless unless you want to learn about their advertising campaign...

Thank you for your brilliant and helpful answer. You're the same guy who would give someone lost in a forest a map but no way to tell what direction he was facing...

That's typically my method, but I research before flashing a new ROM, saves me a headache and spares devs from stupid questions. There just seems to be a lack of info on just a few areas & I don't want to play the flashing game to only gain a few icon changes and transition animations. I'm currently on calks' 2.8.1 and love all aspects of it. Smart guy, that Calk! Don't mistake research for laziness, that's not my thing.

The point I was trying to make is. Flash it and report your findings back. Contribute back instead of asking more questions. I don't know about you but I like finding things myself. Not relying on others. I just get sick of all the questions that can be so easily answered by doing your own research.
And about the map thing if you still can't find your way out of the forest with a map. Then you need to go back to the boy scouts and study up a bit.lol.geesh.

See the thing is I asked one question. When a ROM is so different than the rest I like to have any idea what the extra stuff DOES. Even playing with it I am unlikely to figure it out if I don't know what it's for to begin with. I figured I would ask what the other people here knew about it. You are obviously ignorant of any useful information so while your contribution has been worthless it has certainly wasted a few people's time so there is that.
In regards to the map I take it you've never actually been in the woods without a way to tell what direction you're going have you? Must be nice to think the sun shines every day, maps show everything to be seen, and compasses/GPS grow on trees.

Don't listen to the jerks here i don't. I just flashed it and it has some Widgets and it seems smooth so far. Try it out, there's always a smart as here. What's Q and A for anyways

You can disagree with him all you want but, he makes a valid point. The thread for the ROM had pretty much all the answers you need and the OP for the ROM has been more patient than anyone gives him credit for. Try it out. Nand your current ROM flash the Bravia ROM and see for yourself. Q and A is a great place to ask questions but, only if you've exhausted all other avenues. Otherwise you're just clutter.

Agreed and you just validated his point. Nand then try it out for yourself. You'll get your answers through first hand experience. He'd get the answers to his questions a helluva lot faster and he'd have something to share in the ROM's thread.

Also it's a great ROM. Sure it's in alpha but, that's expected it's pulling all kinds of cool stuff from another OEM. The time he spent would be worth it in my opinion...drunk or sober lol.

just seems like a theme to me.... bravia wont run correctly unless the hardware is there... i guess its like installing Radeon HD9500 video drivers on a intel vga adapter... bravia engine was the video cards used inside Sonys TVs and such... how his applys to a non-sony phone? I have no idea... but regardless, its just something to tinker around with.. no harm done.

I agree, I tried the ROM the other day. It had Sony's launcher and the ROM was nicely themed. I have no idea what the Bravia engine means and running the ROM won't tell you either so not sure why the other dude was being an ass and telling you to flash. He was probably hoping you could tell him.
Nothing wrong with asking a question about a ROM if you don't want to flash it just to find out. Everyone just needs to ignore the assess.

Well that means by your standards they must ignore you. Because your the ass my friend.
I'm outa this thread.

WOW So I can't

Post in the dev threads yet because I'm new.Smack in my face. I been here for on and off for years and now i register and cant post with devs until I have 10 post....LAME
Anyways Im going to give Holy grail Rom a try. i was using Jelly Bomb but it seems bloated to me and all that blue is kinda of unnecessary. It may the best for 12 year old kids but not me, either way it is a awesome rom

I'm kind of in the same boat. I've been trolling forever and now have an issue updating to the latest ROMs and can't actually post in the proper place until I make 10 posts about things I don't care about.
Thanks for giving me a reason to post!
In case anyone can answer my question before I get to 10 posts....I've been using Jelly Bomb for some time now and have never had any problems installing the latest ROM. However when I try to install the latest 14.0 version I get stuck on the Samsung boot screen. I cleared everything, reset everything. Only thing I can do is get back in and restore my backup. I tried a different ROM with the newest additions (multiview and whatnot) and the same thing happened. Any thoughts on why I can't get my phone to load ROMs with the new stuff?
Thanks!

Humm I dont know about that one. hopefully someone else can help

Did you do a clean install and if so what/how did you do it. Did you check the md5 sum? How did you download the ROM? On your phone? On a computer then transfer it over etc. The more info the better.

I'm thinking bad dl
To the OP, we all had to go through it and best thing to do if you don't like a devs work is to not use it, plus you can always look for a theme if colors an issue, no need to bash any devs, they bust arse so we can use their work.....just saying :good:

10 post rule is to protect developers from spammers and new members who do not know the proper place or what to post.
Specifically that now questions are being asked here in General after the initial "gripe."
So this is being moved to Q&A where ALL questions should go, not a general thread to make your 10 posts to hound a dev
You will get quicker and more considerate answers in Q&A, especially if you did not search the ROM thread before asking
Thank you

I'm just gonna go ahead and call BS on those whiners who are stuck with <10 posts. I'm qualified to do so since I was recently one of them. The truth is if you are not at least somewhat interested in phone tech, (even if it's just for your model of phone), you should not be rooting and romming. I say that because if you want root or a custom rom on your phone, you should at the very least, have spent time reading about it. Not for 15 minutes or 1/2 hour but several hours. If you realize while reading about it, that the subject matter just can't hold your attention, then you probably shouldn't be playing around with your phones software in the first place, and you definitely shouldn't be rooting your phone . Before rooting and installing a rom, you should have a pretty good idea why you want a rooted phone and custom rom in the first place, and "just because" doesn't cut it. If you want to do it just because you can, good luck with that.
But if you're really interested in the tech stuff about your phone, then you'll probably spend some free time perusing these pages and you should have no problem finding 10 things to either ask a question about, or offer a helpful comment or advice to someone needing it.

I actually think its fair, the 10 post rule.. i even felt bad that ive been using these forum for so many years and i dont even have 10 posts under my name. I necer really needed to because i always found what im looking for in past threads but when i wanted to thank a dev for his great work, i couldnt post :/
Anyway were you able to download the new roms? Ive read that people often have problems depending on the method used to download the rom and flashing it.. also you can try to do the wiping process after you install the rom also..hope you get to enjoy these new features soon pal.
