I think we should get a bounty thread going - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General

I think we should get a bounty thread going. I will contribute 30 dollars for bootloader unlock and 15 for root. I don't have the time or capability to manage a bounty thread but maybe one of you can? If so, start a new thread per the XDA guidelines

If someone gets this going I have $100 to put towards it.

Count me in for $30

I'd be in for $60 for unlocked bootloader, $35 for root
If no one else is goign to maintain a list, I guess I could do so.

I would be in for $25 for root and $50 for bootloader unlock...

Seems you are new to this thread, there was a previous bounty at the early release of this note to BeansTown106 , money was raised, Beans got the Note, came out with a root within 30 minutes time, then sold the note.
I doubt that any one here could participate in this again to the same person.

I think your getting him confused with scrosler?? He made cleanrom. I was in contact with beans. Said he would make us one of his rom if he had the device.

No, not confused, you can simply refer to any P600 user who donated at the beginning & got fooled out .
Here, go through this thread & find out yourself.

Luckily , i am a P601 user
Just an FYI there was a bounty for root and I achieved it and collected bounty never fooled anyone out. I borrowed a friends tablet and used it as a test device I never owned one of my own. Also if ur a p601 user I don't see how this applys to you either way

I never mentioned that this applied to me being a P601 user, i was lucky i didn`t donate in this, i was only stating a fact .
OK, Can we PLEASE get back on topic? Im in for $50, all we need is $300 more. People are on here asking where are the devs? Well Beans is highly respected. We need to help these guys out. It takes ALOT of time. You guys wonder why we have no devs???? You scare them away.
Mods might as well delete this thread. It's obvious no one really wants a new rom. I hear complaining about where are the devs, but now I know why we have limited support. This device will not see much support, because of the members here.

How about a taster. I've worked with both devs for the p600 and am in the preparation of building my own rom. They both provided the best rom they could without the tablet then raised the money really quick and gave us two of the smoothest roms around. Just a thought you have nothing to lose but a tablet and a lot more in donations to gain once people see the work you have put in
The only issue I have with this is what did he do with the initial money we gave him when he got us the first root of the device a few months ago. I know just me I had given him $50 for his contribution to the community, pretty sure he raised enough at that time to go and buy a note if he really wanted one. I don't know just my observation.
I'm pretty sure a bounty comes without an obligation to buy the device. So whatever he did with it is his choice.
Some users are also pissed off the the root method beanstown106 provided tripped the knox counter. I read the initial thread and the bounty was set for root and at that moment the was no Knox condition set for the bounty. So you anyone is allowed to disagree with his actions and I can imagine not being happy with the Knox tripped root but beanstown106 didn't actually do anything wrong. Althoug I can imagine people not being happy with him collecting the bounty first and then asking for donations to buy the device.

giving away old bricked SGH I257M

I ended up bricking my phone trying to get a custom recovery on it and said screw it and got the Moto G 2015.
This is the US AT&T and it's running android lollipop 5.1. Right now it's stuck on bootloop more or less, when I boot it up AT&T says it detects unauthorized software and to take it to the nearest help center or whatever.
I'm wondering if anyone's interested in it for development purposes or whatever? I'm willing to give it away for the cost of shipping or if it's worth anything to you, you can feel free to offer payment for it i guess? It is a decent phone outside of all of AT&T's stupid bull****.
Hope this isn't against the rules to post or anything. I don't really care about trying to make money off this, it just seems like an awful waste of a perfectly good phone if someone with more know-how than me can easily fix it and maybe better the dev community for it.
Feel free to let me know

Hey man, just wondering if this offer is still on the table? I noticed you mentioned it was running 5.1... was that a custom ROM? Any idea if the bootloader is unlocked?

It is still on the table, the thing is just lying around. I made a mistake saying it was running 5.1 though, it HAD been running the latest version of cyanogenmod months ago but eventually I needed to return it to stock for something dumb and when I tried to switch back, I bricked it.
The phone was rooted and I'm PRETTY SURE I managed to unlock the bootloader, but it's possible I may have messed that up because I bricked it while trying to flash a custom recovery. The phone still boots into download mode so I figure someone crafty enough with a better ability to figure out what files are required could fix it with ODIN or something.
Good morning
if the offer is still available can you contact me at [email protected]

Root the Droid Turbo 2 for a Bounty?

UPDATE FOR BOUNTY: By my count (using my Droid Turbo 2 Calculator lol) the count for the bounty is now over $1700.00 and that is only counting those who put an exact amount of what they would be willing to donate. Quite a few others said they would chip in, but didn't leave an amount. Maybe we should all post what we would be willing to chip in. I'm good for $50. I know we have one guy who said he would throw in $500. I can't match that and I don't expect anyone else to either. What an awesome amount! Hope this helps!
*** I will not be updating this thread anymore as I feel it is not going to achieve root. I haven't been contacted by now regarding this and every time I try and post this in an Android General type of thread, it gets shut down bc the mods are busy people. No sense in reaching out to the dev's in other communities to see if they could help when Mods shut them down all the time. That said, I'm probably moving to a new device soon. I wish you all the best of luck on getting this guy rooted. I will still donate my part that I said I would in hopes this gets this rooted.***
I wanted to post this question here as I thought it wouldn't belong in the Q and A section. If it's in the wrong place MOD, please feel free to do your job.
I am willing to put up some cash into a bounty for ANYONE who can successfully root this device. Doesn't need the Bootloader unlocked (although that would be nice). Is anyone willing to participate and donate some $$$ for this project? I have no idea where to start nor do I have the time. But I do have money to spare for a project like this. I'm trying to get the bounty to at least $500. Who's with me?
I thought if we could get this thing going we could post it in XDA General to see if any other Dev from another device would want to take a stab at this.
Moto X Force user here, and if any developer gets interested in developing for kinzie (ROM, kernel, etc), I would be happy to colaborate, so we both Droid Turbo 2 users, and Force users can be blessed with awesome stuff for this little beast.

If this becomes official I will contribute for sure

I'd be down for 40 at least if it happens.
I will happily put up money for a bounty. let's make this real. this phone is way too good to not attempt a bounty. imagine the battery life on root.......
Can't wait to get a debloater and screen color calibrater.
Willing. Now it would be nice if they (devs) "waited" till 6.0 finally hit the phone to try to gain root or BL unlock but who knows better to have stayed on lollipop I think, yet I updated the update anxiety set in I guess XD

what kernel version (3.somtheing) are you at and what security patch, there has apparently been a huge exploit recently patched you may still be able to gain root
March 1st security patch, and kernal version 3.10.84
Would be nice, but could we secure it afterward tho...

ok so you should be in the clear (they closed up the potential for exploit in a march 18th patch, and kernel 3.18)
I have yet to see a viable root method for the DT2

I would be up for $50 at least... I feel crippled without my root based apps, not to mention debloat (not just disable) and tethering (other than the sim workaround).
Watching this thread daily since the true possibility of root has surfaced:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo-2/general/root-discussionthink-tank-t3239979/page32
Count me in for $25
Count me for 15$ for root and 25$ for BL unlock ..
Put me down for 25$ too.
25
I had a dream last night that bootloader/root was found.. Or or a nightmare...
Count me in for $25
I can do $25

ROOTED???

Yeah, looks legit. But...it's T-Mobile. Hopefully they don't screw around and tip off LG to the exploit and force a patch/update. Seen it before. My suggestion if it works....CREATE A PAID FOR ROOT APP WITH LOGIN.
Super exciting. All of you putting up for the bounty better be ready to pay out!
