I've noticed that a some developers (myself included) would be substantially aided in their efforts if they had access to one or more Galaxy S test devices.
I don't know how successful this will be however I've created this thread as a central place for developers to “apply” for device donations and for members to put their (presumably broken) devices up for donation.
My phone is broken, can someone fix it?
If your phone is broken and you want it fixed then a Samsung Service Centre or your place of purchase is the place to get it done. However if for some reason Samsung won't fix your phone then you can list it here and it might inadvertently get fixed, but please make sure you read this whole post very carefully!
Deciding to donate... zero liability!
If you do decide to list a device here regardless of whether you're donating or lending it to someone the developer that you donate/lend it to is in no way liable for what happens to your phone. The purpose of this thread is so users can donate devices for experimental development. As such there is definitely a chance devices could get bricked or permanently damaged (if they're not already). If your warranty isn't already voided then it certainly will be. If you're not willing to accept this then do not donate!
I would like to think that developers who have been donated devices will return the device to the donator upon request, regardless of whether the phone was donated or lent. However, just in case I would like “donators” to make clear what they expect in regards to their donation, whether they intend to donate, lend, donation time-frame etc.
Which developer gets which phone?
I think it should be up to the donator to decide what projects are more worthy or more relevant to the donator. I'm not going to assign phones to projects unless the donator requests that I do so.
How are broken devices useful?
Obviously that depends on what the developer is doing. To some developers a bricked device may be totally useless. However, for developers working on low-level interfacing (JTAG etc.) then bricked devices are basically the perfect test subject.
Shipping the device and costs.
I think it's only fair that people donating their phone shouldn't have to pay the cost to ship the phone to the developer. However, the return shipping costs (if the donator wants the phone returned) should be negotiated on per donation basis.
If the phone turns on the donator MUST disable all security features, in particular the mobile tracker functionality!

Project Title: Heimdall (and JTAG Research)
Project Description:
Heimdall is an open-source, cross-platform replacement for Odin. It is currently in alpha and is in need of testing. For more detailed information refer to the Heimdall thread.
I'm also interested in doing some JTAG research that will hopefully help bring "fully bricked" phones back to life.
Device Requirements:
Any Galaxy S (or derivative) phone in any state what-so-ever.
Location:
Melbourne, Australia
Extra Information:
I'm good with being lent or donated devices. I'm also happy to return donated devices if I'm able to fix them.
It might be worth also having "qualifications" as one of the things. Because otherwise, even 10 year olds can request phones...
I am concerned about the liability statement though honestly.. I live in Melbourne, but I am concerned that there isn't a reasonable expectation that the mobile will be working when it is returned (but yes, I'd love to see Heimdell succeed). Also, there isn't any clauses which ensure that provide leverage for mobile's to be returned.

I don't think it should be up to me to decide who is qualified. However I will add something to the original thread that makes it clear it is the donators choice as to who they donate to (I'm not going to automatically assign phones to people).
Lending
--- Donator Application ---
Donation Type: Lending
Phone Type:Samsung Galaxy S i9000 european version
Phone Status:
Stuck in boot loop. Never had access to 3-button download mode... even tried the oven!
Location: Country : Mexico State: Chihuahua City: Juarez
Developer Requirements:
If the device gets fixed I would like it returned.
Extra Information: The device was flashed with AT&T Rom
celtichazard will be lending me his bricked phone so that I can perform some JTAG research into unbricking Galaxy S phones.
If anyone is interested in this research and would like to donate to help cover the cost of shipping, JTAG adapters, wires, components, solder etc. that would be very much appreciated.
The Junkheap sounds like a really good idea .
The JTAG research you are talking about; I have no clue what it is. Is it also related to your Heimdall project? Because that did sound interesting.
Also, I checked out your website at the donate link, and the subjects are so horribly technical, I have no clue what that is about either. So I guess it must be really low-level high-tech ^^.
Edit: donated a little bit. Heimdall could potentially be very practical for all of us .

First of all, thank you very much for the donation.
The research that I'll be doing with celtichazard's phone is in regards to finding a way to unbrick any bricked Galaxy S phone. The research is not immediately related to Heimdall. However, if I do manage to work out how to unbrick a phone it will definitely be beneficial for everyone. It will also have a positive effect on the development of Heimdall, as it will allow me to try more experimental functionality without worrying about having to send my phone off to the UK for repair if something goes wrong.
Project Title: JTAG
Project Description:
Trying to figure out a way to unbrick "fully bricked" phones.
Device Requirements:
Any Galaxy S (or derivative) phone in a "fully bricked" state.
Also a fully working one would be nice so I can dump the bootloader.
Location:
Madrid, Spain
Extra Information:
JTAG can bring a bricked phone back to life. If I figure out how to make this work your phone will be fully working. If not then it will still be bricked. I would be willing to return the phone in whatever state it is in when I am done. If you are in the United States a USPS flat rate priority mail box to me is $15. If you have a device that you want to ship let me know and if I need it I will pay for shipping one way.

I only just realised you edited your post.
The liability statement is mostly in place to ensure developers aren't held responsible for damage (which may or may not have been their fault) or postage related issues.
I understand your concerns in regards to having the device returned, but quite simply there is absolutely no way to enforce such a policy. International law is largely a myth so attempting to enforce any such clause would be near impossible. If you're donating to someone within the same country then you certainly could write-up a contract. I'm not a lawyer, but if a donator wants to organise such a contract with a developer then they're certainly free to do so.
The best thing you can do is to make sure you donate to a reasonably well known developer. If the person you're donating to has a reputation to uphold then you've definitely got some leverage if things get nasty.
Regardless I sincerely hope that we won't see that sort of situation here.
dagentooboy is still looking for someone to donate or lend him a phone. His JTAG research is similar to the work I'll be doing and is extremely important. The more people we have working on it the more likely we'll come across a fix.
If someone has a bricked phone they are willing to donate/lend that would be fantastic.
I suggest to link the developer requests and the donator offers in the first post.
This should help to get a faster overview what is needed/offered.
The link to each post is in the upper right corner of each post.
And i would suggest to use this junkheap for all SGS phones (captivate, vibrant, epic 4g, fascinate & i9000), because most of rom/kernel mods could easily be ported to all sgs phones and development would be faster if developers could have access to all sgs phones.

Yeah all phones are accepted depending on what particular developers are after. However thus-far I believe myself and dagentooboy have been willing to accept any SGS phone (including derivatives).
yeah any GSM galaxy s phone would be fine... if it is CDMA I won't be able to test the cell side (to make sure I didn't break it).
Project Title: UnBrickable Mod
Project Description:
An end user solution to unbricking fully bricked phones with only a wire and soldering skills
Device Requirements:
an i9000 device which can have the processor removed and not replaced.
Location:
Louisiana, USA
Extra Information:
UnBrickable Mod has been performed on the Captivate and I'd like to get this modification out to you guys in the i9000 sector. This mod allows you to flash bootloaders and not think twice. Thereby increasing development and allowing for repurposing of our phones at the end of their lives as a Ubuntu device, or similar.
This modification will be fully documented and open-source. It will help the entire community get out of a jam without any additional hardware if they have the skills to solder two points on the board. I must locate these points and it requires removal of the processor. I can return the device which will be inoperative if required.
See video for explanation of how easy it will be to unbrick with UnBrickable Mod.
The execution of a single device will allow resurrection of all others.
Project Title: Thor (an alternative to Heimdall)
Project Description:
Thor is aiming to be more stable and up-to-date.
Here is an XDA thread about it.
Here is a list of new features that I want to test:
1) Ability to flash from BL/AP/CP/CSC .tar archives directly
2) Ability do download latest firmware and flash it automatically
3) Ability to flash compressed (.lz4) files directly (newly discovered)
4) You can shut down the device from GUI immediately (no reboot)
5) PIT viewer built-in, with more accurate information
6) Ability to do NAND Erase All (actually it just erases userdata)
7) Ability to do DevInfo (information about the device: model, carrier id, region, serial code)
Device Requirements:
1) Any Samsung device with Odin v3 protocol
2) Lending only, as my parents would tell me to **** off
Location:
Obviously you don't need this.
Extra Information:
None
Project: PostmarketOS, UBPorts on galaxystmd
Old device: but I have multiple. Willing to send one to device to multiple developers with experience and desire to port for proof-of-concept and/or restoring functionality to this device via mainline Linux (PMOS).
UBTouch would be a secondary effort: as it had been ported during the initial launch, but did not get migrated to the UBPorts project.
3rd effort would be porting latest Lineage, modded/optimized ROM, stripped down/optimized kernel. "One final rodeo."
1 Device per person Per Effort.
So realistically I would give each person up to three devices.
Hi
I'm pretty sure this hasn't been covered off already - well - not to the level of detail I need anyway.
I came to the xda forums after a friend of mine suggested that there were hacks available.
It's clear that 'something' is available, but what I am not finding is:
A) A SIMPLE guide that shows us people totally new to phone 'hacking' how to do it, from start to finish, with minimal lingo and acronyms.
B) An clear and simple explanation on the different 'hacking' options available
C) The reason you would want to do it? From what I can see, the only benefit seems to be a few pointless homebrew apps that you can download - and for the risk involved...why would you chance it?
Don't get me wrong, tinkering in itself is the reason you would want to do it - it's fun - but I can't help thinking that the WP7 side of 'hacking' doesn't offer much reward.
Would really appreciate any advice/help/links with my questions.
Thanks
Did not know whether to bother answering or not but okay. First welcome to XDA, uhhh in easy laymens terms hacking is not for the inexperienced and it is not totally idiot proof so you should have some fair knowledge of the systems and what they do. Don't hack if you need a kindergarten book to explain it all out for ya simple as that. WP is closer too iOS than Android main point being it is the most secure as far as I personally care of the 3, and the system is just as smooth and fluid as iOS. No there are not alot of Homebrew available at the moment, but if you happen to have a phone able to be fully unlocked then you have the option to use many functions that were not available before.
Device specific is where you should such that search block is your best friend, nobody here is going to write a full guide to the whole forum section for every single new hack and crack that comes out. If you want to you are more than welcome.
Thanks pal
I'm ok with the concepts of hacking, just not specifically this OS.
I'm technically minded and do a lot of similar stuff elsewhere, but when it comes to the phone that I use daily, and comntracted for another 12 months with and have no experience with tinkering WP7 - Im slightly more nervous.
I guess my main issue was the d&h forum for WP7. Every sticky/thread is far too long and they all contain a lot of acryonyms that a new WP7 hacker wouldn't understand. So my forum instinct is to look for the sticky that says "start here - everything explained" - but there isn't one?!
It's almost like "where do people start if there is no starting point"?
As far as covering a good amount of info, this post is a good one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299134
Don't really think there is a way to avoid all the jargon though, if there is something that isn't explained well it should be simple to find information to fill in the gaps. The terms used are very specific to the environment, so anything returned in a search would probably be relevant.
The most common homebrew option is Interop Unlock, Samsung models of phone are the easiest to unlock. This allows you to use native code that has not been wrapped in a tidy c# class.
The benefit of all this is that your phone is a full fledged computer that by default is locked down like an appliance. Developing additional homebrew apps allow you to get further phone customization out of your device, and therefore the most value out of your purchase.
I for myself thought about unlocking my device considering the risks involve. but I weighed the consequences. Thus, I end up now, having a fully unlocked HTC 7 Mozart with a custom rom. I am happier with my device now, I can do BT transfers, explore the folders within my device, install more applications than the usual apps/games from the marketplace, and tweak my device. One more thing, when my device was still running on stock rom, battery life is shorter, now I have 1.5x the battery life.
MY CONCLUSION: unlock your device's potential
as for the guides, yes it is not really like spoon feeding, but contents of the guides/tutorials are somehow progressive. one can learn from them, so that on the next development, we can do the "hacking" easier since we understood how the process goes. This is why it is called development. Cheers!
before i can give you advice on what hack that you can use, what is the name your device that way there are more specific hacks that we can talk about.
Hi
Thanks for the helpful replies.
I have a HTC Trophy. I'm doing the SD card upgrade next week to start with, so I can finally put all my music on it, so thought i'd look at hacking it at the same time.

Looks like a good guide but how am I meant to know if I have a first or second gen phone....there's no definitive list?! And I can't remember what updates I have.
This is a nightmare - I'll give it a miss
check your processor, as far as i know, if your phone has 1.5GHz then it's a gen2, otherwise, it's just gen1
Let me at least give the "legitimate" talk about unlocking your phone:
For $99/year, sign up for a developers account with Microsoft (create.msdn.com). You can unlock up to 3 separate devices officially for app development. Then you can build and deploy all kinds of .xaps to your phone. To top it off, you can get the betas and early OS upgrades (had Mango almost 6 months before my friend got it from his vendor). Ultimately, you can even release your own apps to the marketplace for sale or for free.
sounds like, since this is a phone you use every day, this might be an investment worth considering. Its an easy and legitimate way for someone not too experienced with the phone's innards to get it unlocked and get exposed to how things work. Plus if you back up your phone vefore you unlock it, and something goes wrong, you haven't done anything thats voided a warranty. If the OS crashes, try returning to the "pre-unlocked" backup and bring it back to the store saying it crashed. They'll replace it. Nice deal, considering most Windows phones run around $500 to replace.
Now as for unlocking it via other means: maybe you dont want to sell apps. Maybe you dont really want to give microsoft a credit card for $100 every year. Maybe you want to just do more than a developer unlock will get you - like load a whole new aspect of the operating system. Or maybe you just dont want to pay to unlock your phone. Understandable, i suppose (though for MOST people, a developer unlock is more than sufficient). There are options, but they will require a lot of time and investigation (maybe even translation) to get it right, because the WP7 is new. The devices are many - its not like having a single hardware baseline to crack - like the iPhone. And to throw another monkey in the wrench, they did a full-fledged update to the OS not 6 months ago. So - no - not a a lot of "beginners" guides out there. Even for experienced people, an unofficial unlock is still a tricky feat. Take a look at the number of posts that have to do with phones randomly "re-locking" themsleves. Hell, I'm a legit developer and my phone "re-locked" itself last night. (turns out MS has a "lease" on deve unlocks that you need to physically update every year by un-registering and re-registering the device)
hope this was informative and helps.
I found exactly the same problem. Today I saw this post in the HTC Titan forum which helped me understand all the different unlocks that you hear mentioned on the web.
Hope this helped
Crowd funded ROM development...
Now here is a thought.. Sure I am not the first one, but here is a suggestion and description of what I believe to be a brilliant idea.
I have bought quite a few Chinese devises for me and my family, and it has been a little hit and miss when it comes to usability on some of these devises. I have always gone for what I believed at the time to be best value for money products considering whom to buy to and what it is going to be used for.
The thing is if you do a lot of research and end up buying a phone with brilliant hardware but a ****ty Chinese ROM your in trouble. Sometimes you get lucky and find a third party custom ROM and if you are REALLY lucky there will be a ”latest and greatest” CM or Paranoid ROM available and then you are really flying. Most of the Chinese devises I have bought have actually been OK in assembly quality but all of them have been pretty useless as daily phones / tablets with the OEM software filled with Chinese bloat-ware and worse.
Recently I bought my own personal Tablet ( previously bought some for my kids) and I bought the ONDA V975M which have absolutely brilliant specifications but a useless and stuttering / freezing ROM. I have searched the web only to find several Fora all hunting for the same thing. I found Russian,French,Dutch speaking Fora as well with the same questions.... Where to Root and where to obtain better ROM's.....
To me we all need a kind of crowd-funded way of requesting new ROM's. My thought goes towards the APP selling market where somebody have a idea for an APP but no programming skills and then post the idea on sites like Sellandapp.com or Fundedapps.com. This is how I think it should work:
If I want a ROM for a device I would go to this new ”Request a ROM-Site” and request a ROM, I will have to give as many details as possible on the hardware, and then I would commit myself to a certain amount of my choice (any amount can start the request) if others is willing to commit to pay for the ROM they submit a commitment form on the site. The commitment will have to be binding. If enough people is doing this the money goes up to a sum that might attract a developer whom will take the task at hand. When a developer commits to develop a ROM the Money is ”frozen” to him for a period of time (2 weeks / a month?) and when he submits the ROM he will be paid a third of the sum in the ”pot” for that request. After a month he will get another third but only if there has not been more than 20% complaints on his ROM (will encourage him/her to correct bugs) and again if there is less than 10-15% complaints after 2 month he will be paid the rest.
If there is too many bugs in the initial ROM and they are NOT corrected the now reduced ”pot” can go to a new developer whom might easily correct the first one?
All ROM's have to be open source naturally. The developer has to accept that the work he does is paid for and there is NO royalties after...
I am present a member in 3 Android Fora and I constantly see the same names popping up, so I am sure there is a lot like me who is in several different Fora, it would be great if there would be some administrators who could put this idea into the right place and maybe duplicate it to others. My point is that in this matter there is only an advantage to spread the message as far as possible, over as many Fora as possible.
I would prefer this to become a non-profit site with reference to ALL the different Fora out there but if somebody wants to make this into a business I am OK with this, I hope if they become successful they will remember me and pay a small contribution towards the idea.
I can be found on XDA and Slatedroid as user-name: Robert_it
There will always be a risk of some low life with a shattered moral trying to steal the ”pot” but if we keep it simple and trust each other I believe this would work.
I do not have the skills nor the time to start this project but I would like to start this by offering my idea's and I would be the first to commit to $15-$20 for a smooth performance ROM for the before mentioned ONDA tablet...
If I am not violating the forum rules I would like this post to be Sticky in the right place and to be copy/pasted into as many Fora in as many languages as possible. Anybody out there up for a task like this?
Here is a little side-note: I did for some time ago try to get some info of a Chinese vendor only to be turned down, I see again and again people / developers requesting software / drivers for devices, the Chinese have a culture where they steal with arms and legs from everybody and yet there are scared for anybody gaining access to there already poor software. Just imagine if a Chinese company took the chance and released ALL drivers and hardware specifications to the gurus at CyanogenMod and asked for help to create a fully working multilingual ROM for a top but cheap device?? Now would the risk of another Chinese factory copying this device be bigger than the hype, rave and huge sales-numbers such a device would create... Think about it, if we could buy a $250 Octa-core high resolution, dual sim phone with all the latest hardware AND get CyanogenMod 11 on it as well??
And YES I know the quality is not the same as a true branded phone, my Nexus-5 is lovely but I use more that one phone on a daily basis and having a “cheap” powerhouse is fun and some of these Chinese phones is actually not bad at all...
Hope I have not offended anybody or broken any forum rules, I will post this both on SlateDroid and XDA as this is where I can, again feel free to copy and paste into other Fora.

Great idea,
I've proposed the same thing in a french forum.
I can also 10-20$ donate for the dev.

Okay maybe we will have enough to sponsor a tablet to a willing Def.
Does anybody know a Def who is willing to do so?

Hope I have not offended anybody or broken any forum rules, I will post this both on SlateDroid and XDA as this is where I can, again feel free to copy and paste into other Fora.

I think this is a really interesting idea and it could be something XDA could create. A few questions:
1. How much funding is enough to convince a developer to make a ROM for a given device? Is it $200? $1000? Also, you have to consider that the developer would need to purchase the tablet.
2. How would we avoid there being a big number of tablets that don't get enough funding to attract a developer? There are dozens and dozens of devices that you mean (great hardware, but terrible software), and it wouldn't be ideal if there were 2, 3, or 4 devices that have ample funding, but 25 devices that have just $20 committed.

Well i liked this Idea moreover i am very familiar with chinese Phones as myself i own 2 Karbonn Phones which are rebranded Chinese phones and i have developed lots of ROMs for them i can certainly make ROMs on requests in mass only if i get enough money to get that device
But i will be free only after my exams i.e. after march then i can be a part of this idea

Well most of the Chinese devices have mediatek chipset and they don't release kernel sources for their devices and I make custom ROMs from stock ROM only and try to add as much features as possible with stability and better battery backup
Moreover I can easily port most famous ROMs like MIUI , LewaOS etc

Sounds great. Count me in with 10 EUR.
And...I guess what you'd need is the AMlogic source code for the CPU right? The link above?
BTW has anyone asked for support from Christian Troy? Just wanna know before I write him a PM, because I don't want to annoy him.

Hi There I have scoured the XDA forums for up to date information on either the LDU S10 or Note 10 device range. Unfortunately there seems to be very little information on hand, which is unusual considering there are loads of threads about previous Galaxy S series LDUs and retail mode disabling.
If anyone has information about disabling retail mode on the current generation devices, your help is much appreciated.
Note: The password 5444 trick that used to work no longer does, which would allow factory reset and MDM removal. Now I don’t plan on taking a gamble using ODIN to try and flash stock N975F onto my N975X device for fear of bricking. I have successfully flashed S6 devices in the past but I’m a bit more reluctant with the lack of info on hand.
Any help is much appreciated, those of you who might be inclined to post ‘This is a retail device, you shouldn’t have it’ - I would politely state I bought this on ebay as a legitimate listing and would like to use it for Android Studio App development for my final year college project. I have used LDUs in the past as an access point to development on Android as my daily driver is iOS and I wanted to break away from Xcode for a different challenge. I do computer science and have a passion for smartphones so spending 1200€ to do App testing on a Note10 Plus is not an option when I paid similar for my daily driver.
To clarify when I say a ‘legitimate ebay listing’ - if I can purchase on ebay with my own money that is my business and clearly satisfies eBays user agreement. Thanks in advance, all info welcome.
Same here

Hello fellow developers and OnePlus users,
I come bearing some exciting news that could be a game-changer for those of us in the custom development community. As many of you are aware, the MSM Download Tool, a significant asset for unbricking and flashing OnePlus devices, has been restricted in recent iterations of OnePlus devices for the last few years, following the merger of OnePlus and Oppo. This move limited the tool's access to authorized service center employees, effectively locking out regular users and enthusiasts.
Today, I am pleased to announce that I have managed to bypass these restrictions, unlocking the MSM Download Tool for the OnePlus 11 and possibly the OnePlus 10 as well, although the latter remains untested at the moment. (EDIT : A few people reported that it does not works with the OnePlus 10, thus it is unclear if it has been tested with EDL packages)
This breakthrough restores the ability to fix bricked devices ourselves, a feature that was greatly appreciated by the tech enthusiast community and was a significant factor in OnePlus's popularity within these circles.
What has been achieved ?
- Log in using any credentials, and it will work
- Select an official EDL package and flash it on a Oneplus 11 (Including rebranding, works perfectly and OTAs works perfectly)
- Stability trough time : Oppo will not be able to fix it in current versions of Download Tool. The vulnerable ones will work forever. We can consider Oneplus 11 safe to that aspect.
However, I want to make a few things clear:
Limited Release: For the time being, I will not be publishing the code publicly. My reasons for this decision are twofold. First, I do not want Oppo to become aware of the bypass and fix it, preventing future use of the tool. Second, the majority of users do not have a need for this tool, and its misuse could potentially lead to more harm than good. If you accidentally brick your phone while flashing a ROM or something, reach your local authorised service/service center. There also are less moral service providers who offer remote flashing services for as low as $4.
Availability to Developers: If you are an experienced and recognized developer working on OnePlus 10 or 11 devices, you may access the unlocked tool by direct messaging me. Please provide proof of your work on these devices (commits, repositories, GitHub profile). I believe that having access to this tool will be a significant aid in our development efforts.
Advice for General Users: For regular users who might need to unbrick their OnePlus 10 or 11 devices, I recommend seeking the help of professionals.
I may consider releasing this solution publicly once we get stable builds of LineageOS for the Oneplus 11 series, but for now, this is the course of action I feel is best for the community. Thank you for understanding, and I am looking forward to seeing the exciting developments that will come from this!
If you're wondering why I am not releasing the code publicly, please read this post. I'm the first to be sorry about this, but I think this is the best that could be done for the community.
Notes :
- PLEASE, DO NOT ASK FOR THE TOOL IF YOU ARE NOT A DEVELOPER.
- I WILL NEVER ASK MONEY TO PROVIDE THIS CRACK. I DID IT FOR THE COMMUNITY. I'M NOT PUBLISHING ANY DONATE LINKS EITHER.
- I WILL NEVER PUBLISH THE OPPO DOWNLOADTOOL, ONLY MY CODE TO MAKE IT WORK, YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND THE DOWNLOADTOOL SOFTWARE YOURSELF
What a dik move to make it available only for people you choose to.
We will see how long this topic will last before getting deleted for promoting cracked software.

By your reply I assume you are not a developer. If making it available "only for people I choose to" means not Oppo, heck yeah. Of course I do not want them to study the vulnerability and patch it in future versions of DownloadTool.
By the way, I am not promoting "cracked software" as the software is untouched. I will provide the crack as a standalone solution, and developers will be able to use any genuine version of DownloadTool they want. My solution will simply allow developers to restore a device they bricked while testing their ROM or kernel without relying in Oppo/Realme authentication (because yes, any authentication works)
And if this topic gets deleted, I'll release the solution elsewhere. But that would be a sad outcome and a bad move from XDA by showing support for practices hostile to developers.

Why would random Joes some of whom may turn out to be BBK/Oppo/OnePlus employees get access to the tool?

Some people never learn. If we want this solution to hold for a few years to come, we have to take precautions. This is for the best, and if Oppo finds the vulnerability by themselves, of course I will release the solution. The sole fact I opened a public thread could gain attention from Oppo and force them to review their security, so it is easy to figure out what's going to happen if they can study my solution.
This 0-day would be really easy to fix for them, and that's not what we want. If they can't study the solution, they'll have to figure it out themselves.

@oppo_edl_hacker Welcome to XDA. If you have not already, please read the Forum Rules linked in my signature, and take special note of Rules 6, 7, 9, and 11:
6. Do not post or request warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit members to request, post, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained or used. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community.
7. Do not sell or trade on the forums.
If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
The buying, selling, trading and / or exchanging of any item is now prohibited on XDA, in any forum or via Private Messages. We now use www.swappa.com
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software or commercial services, unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if both of the following conditions are met:
A) The site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership, who actively maintains an XDA-Developers support thread(s) / posts, related to the download.
B) The site is a relatively small, personal website without commercial advertising / links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)

Hi, good evening !
The software used to flash Oppo's phone is an internal software distributed to some phone repair stores. It needs an authentication. This software was previously publicly available with no authentication, but as OnePlus has been acquired by Oppo, their policy changed and they now use the Oppo software with authentication. This makes it impossible for developers to recover their devices themselves when testing their experimental ROMs and kernels. This is the cause of a lack of custom ROMs and kernels for OnePlus devices in the last two years. This has also lead to a situation where some corrupt people ask for money (from 4$ to 75$) to remotely flash phones using TeamViewer. This frequently happens throughout XDA and there are countless examples of that.
1. I do not intend to distribute copywrited software, but only my code, which is taking action in the operating system networking stack and not the OPPO software.
2. I only distribute this code to active developers working on OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 11, so they can quickly recover their devices if something goes wrong.
3. My code does not constitutes piracy as it does not includes copywrited code at all. It is then legal. I do not distribute the original software and developers are intended to find it by themselves. This software has already been leaking for years and is easy to find online.
4. I solely do this to help the community, and do not sell anything. I will never ask for money for this, and do not have a donation link. My code will always be free for developers.
As we say, code is speach. I wrote code that can help people, and I'm offering it to developers. I just want to avoid OPPO from obtaining my code, as they could change things in the future to further restrict developers from using their devices as they intend to.

Since the current tool is working and its only an additional crack it does not change anything at all - they cannot disable it.
Also, it will just come out sooner or later, intentionally or via leak so why artificially make a closed circle on this I have no idea but everybody can do whatever they want and my single opinion will not change anything.

They cannot prevent already released tools from working but they can patch future versions and prevent yet to be released phones from being flashed. If we keep it closed circle, maybe OnePlus 12, OnePlus 13 will be able to be flashed. If I release the code today, we'll be sure they will not.

Some developers are starting to report that it indeed works for them so don't worry, if it is fake, it will quickly get known
I will discuss with some developers to release a video showing the software in action, while preventing the vulnerability to be shown.
