[Verizon, AT&T, locked bootloader variants] (4.4.2 Root) Bounty Thread: $845

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.
Current Bounty
$845

$20 for Verizon

$10 (ATT)

$20 Verizon

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.

I'm not sure if you understand what I meant.
I was talking about starting a list of people who are willing to donate/raise money(kinda like a bounty) for the developers to buy a note 4 to attempt to achieve root/unlock bootloader. Once we reach our goal; which is 2 devices($1400) at the moment, we then spread out and send our donations to their PayPal.

Heyyy I'm sure if I were to get my hands on one we could use it for a test device to figure out root/safestrap/etc who are the current 2 devs?

There is only one way to do this correctly. I'll add the missing and add myself to the bottom. copy and paste the message above yours so that the amounts add up. It should be pretty clear, put your name - how much you are donate (the total amount donated with yours added in). Then we'll know how much has been raised.

These types of threads are not allowed on XDA. If you wish to donate to a developer that is your choice and their DONATE TO ME buttons are visible under their profiles. If you wish to make a bounty thread to get a single device for a developer that is well known for obtaining root for a device then that thread will be "tolerated" on XDA with no ties whatsoever to XDA.
These are the guidelines set forth from previous famous developers successfully obtaining these goals:
* The developer MUST know of the thread's existence;
* The OP of the thread CANNOT have access to the funds. I cannot stress how important this is. Money collected and someone else buying the device which suddenly never gets shipped to the donation target is a more common occurrence than it should be on cases like this;
* The developer MUST ACCEPT the challenge being imposed. In other words, making a bounty to get jcase a HTC TWO when he knows well in advanced that he is either not interested or that he may not have the time to do it would simply deprive other devs who might be able to work on the project;
* The thread needs to be traced/tracked so that when the objective is met, no more donations are accepted. In other words, if the device costs $500, once the money is accounted for, all donation links should be removed and/or the thread closed stating that the goal has been reached;
* The OP of the thread MUST be a known member. I had a run in once with HD2OWNER when he was getting money for dcordes and netripper who were working on porting Ubuntu for the HD2. Everything ended up being ok;
* The item being sought after should be related to the goal being attempting to be achieved, but not be overly generic (a good example of a bad bounty would be a computer for a ROM chef);
* Goals and objectives of the donation MUST BE CLEARLY STATED in the OP;
As mentioned, other than that you are advised to donate to your favorite developer for work already received and if he so chooses to put those towards a new device that is up to him.

Step by Step Guide to getting a free LG G4 in the USA

You can get a free, NO CONTRACT, LG G4 right now (in the US only), currently priced at $552, below is a step by step guide:
LG G4 MSRP price in Verizon Store is $552
1. Go to a Verizon CORPORATE store (not reseller) in the US:
Ask them to use the Verizon $100 instant discount on LG G4 in store: LGG4SAVE or LGG4SAVE100 or LGG4SAVE100B
Price goes down to $452
2. Ask them to apply $300 instant IN STORE credit towards the cost of the phone by recycling an older smartphone promo (doesn’t work online), expiration unknown. I bought a $10 TRacfone from Walmart and turned it in. LG Exceed is $20 at Bestbuy you can use that:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/landingpages/switch-and-save/
New customer recommended. Existing customers may get the $300 in form of BILL CREDIT instead of instant reduction in the cost of the phone.
Price goes down to $152
Do not attempt to pay off the phone. It wont work. Get on the monthly payment plan, about $6.month. Dont worry you will cancel the next day.
3. Sign up for the S plan. $50/month. Cancel the next day. You will pay $1.67.
Price goes up to $153.67
4. Pay taxes on the phone about $44 in California.
Price goes up to ~$199
5. Leave the store with the phone. You have paid $44 in taxes and owe $152 on the phone you cannot pay that yet.
6. Submit the LG $200 Rebate Page, Expires 11/15:
http://www.lgg4octoberpromo.com/default.asp
Price goes down to $FREE
There are no activation fees. Verizon has no contracts.
7. Call the next day and pay off the phone with your credit card $152
8. Root Using this method below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/...-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765/
9. Get a free $25 credit for porting your number to Cricket, must port within 30 days after you register:
http://www.cricketwireless.tk/
Get on $35/mo plan, includes 2.5GB of high speed internet.
10. Use Cricket APN settings, you have to manually add an APN, Cricket works on AT&T network, LG G4 gets H speed on it (not LTE) but 4MB/s is fast enough for me:
https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...ice-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html
11. Done, you have a free LG G4. Enjoy! :good:

Is this only on Verizon?

Yes the combo promotions $100+$300+$200 only works on Verizon.
I think the intent was to have $100 + $200 from LG via coupon and rebate OR $300 from Verizon for recycle but they overlapped and now its $600 off. In States other than California you actually make money by buying this phone since tax is only applied to the $152.
Someone screwed up.

Anyone done it yet?
What phone did you use...I'm having trouble finding a smartphone for $10 or $20 anywhere. The LG Exceed is not available till Nov 18th by which I'm sure this loophole will be closed.

Too complicated. Here I propose a simplified approach:
1. Walk into any store selling the LG G4
2. Apply the 5-finger discount to your LG G4 to reduce the price from $552 to $0.
3. Enjoy your new LG G4. Fo' free!

Yeah, this is what I was thinking of doing. Except I have a S4 on contract, but the verizon employee says that if I use the "early upgrade" I have to send in my device and they cancel my contract. The only thing is, I'm not eligible for the $300. And apparently the $300 is only for those who open a new line (new or current customers)

Will this phone work on T-Mobile
What should we do to get it to work on the tmobile network ?
also what is the simplified approach?

Thread closed. Specials will be done soon and no longer possible.
