I'd like to start another bounty thread. This time, the pot o' money goes to whomever successfully roots AND disables write protection on 4.4.2 for the MotoX locked bootloader variants.
Two ways we can do this--you can either go here to this Google Drive spreadsheet and add your XDA Username and amount pledged: LINK HERE
Alternatively, you can just comment with the amount you pledge in this thread. However, I ask that if you comment on this thread--that you don't add it to the spreadsheet. If you comment on this thread, I will manually add your information into the spreadsheet. No need for you to do both.
Don't feel obliged to pledge large amounts of money! Any amount is fine. $1? $5? $100? Doesn't matter! Something is better than nothing; your pledge is much appreciated by everyone who wishes to achieve root on our devices!:highfive:
If you pledge any amount--it is expected that you pay that amount. If this bounty is claimed, I'm sure a lot of work went into figuring out how to root our phones; therefore, it is only morally correct for you to hold your end of the bargain. Do not pledge an amount if you do not intend on paying it.

You guys don't need to worry about what carrier. Typically, if there is an exploit for Verizon, then the same exploit exists on AT&T and vice versa.
Keep Root?
Is it possible to use OTA Rootkeeper or SuperSU to keep root from 4.4 to 4.4.2? I also have the non-DE VZW variant.
Down for $10. I'm on reddit with the same username.

I think so--but you won't have Write Protection disabled; this makes root semi-pointless.

Although this Bounty was for a Root with no Efuze trip, it seems everyone is happy with getting Root.
Thank You Beanstown106.
FYI: This Root method does trip The Warranty Counter Built into the Bootloader of the Note 10.1.

And moved to General Forum. If there's no development works included, things like this, and questions, get posted in General or Q & A.
Now, I'll let this ride for awhile, but, if it gets out of hand and causes us to continually clean flaming, it gets shut down.

LG G5
ROOT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY USING "LGTool by beaups and jcase" BUT THE DEVS WILL NOT BE CLAIMING THE BOUNTY BECAUSE THEY DON'T FEEL IT IS SIMPLE ENOUGH TO GET IT. FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO ROOT/UNLOCK AND YOU CAN CLAIM THE BOUNTY
MOD EDIT: THIS LINK IS REMOVED AT REQUEST OF OWNERS OF THE SOFTWARE YOU'RE LINKING AS IT WILL BRICK THEIR PHONES
LG JUST RELEASED AN OFFICIAL BOOTLOADER UNLOCK FOR THE G5 EUROPE VARIANT. HERE IS A LINK FOR THAT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/official-european-lg-g5-h850-bootloader-t3363040
All credit, and a personal thanks goes out to open1your1eyes0 for the use of his S4 Bounty template here.
I put priority on getting this up quickly - so pretty directly used his format to get the bounty thread up and running.

I would like to donate $5 for the bounty and an additional $5 for the Tmobile version. About time we got a bounty going.

I'm rooting for you guys, no pun intended, but I wouldn't hold my breath. If you really want an unlocked Pixel, you should probably list your current phone for sale on Swappa or your local Craigslist, and buy a Google version or Verizon one that has already been unlocked.

Unfortunately, isn't going to happen this time.
Jcase, the person that broke it last time, is very very busy.
The common stance on this with most programmers and hackers is that 'you should have bought the Unlockable one'
The most you will be able to do is hope for a massive defect and get Google to trade your device.

While I get the sentiment to have purchased the unlockable one, the black friday discount was just too good pass up. the play store wont ship out 2XL in panda for a few weeks. It sucks but I'm sure someone can figure it out. All devices on verizon lock bootloaders, theres not many now that use Oreo, but in a few weeks or months there will be greater push for unlocking.

My speculation is that nobody wants to work on it because buyers had the choice of buying the unlocked bl.
depixel8 only worked for a very short time and was useless, once they released 7.1.1
If there was a prayer, it would only happen if You found a hacker that was interested in it.

The biggest problem here is, hackers and developers only buy unlocked versions. Many don't have a locked device to test on.

That's a pretty convincing argument. I guess I'll just get the black model since the panda is on back order.

You all need to venture out in other forums that have had a bootloader unlock in the past year. That's where you may find someone who actually wants to help out.
This may require purchase of this device to send to the hacker.
I have been a member for quite some time and keep in touch with several members that are directly responsible for things like depixel8.
It seems that the days of unlocking bootloaders are slowly becoming a thing of the past.
Not saying you couldn't try to get another genius on it but, don't expect much.
The other reason that people don't want to unlock the bootloaders is because they get a ton of newbs in their shoulders asking stupid questions because they didn't read original posts with the instructions.
Check the TWRP or Magisk thread, people are just incapable of reading.
My suggestion is: Save your money till next October and buy unlocked. 10 months, $910.
They will probably offer a trade in as well.
Not quite sure what everyone wants with rooting anyway. Substratum can be used without root, everything else is just about there. There have been no new ROMs for this phone (doesn't really need one either) and, the Kernel is about the only thing you'd be left wanting to flash.
Adguard takes care of 99.9% of ads without root.
What do you all need root for?
