Hey guys,
I just received my invite to Google glass developers. I would love to purchase a set for development, however do not have the funds to do so.
I figured that it would be worth asking if there are enough people on XDA needing developers to be willing to donate to the purchase of my pair? These would be strictly used for development and testing of other dev's work, and would probably be donated at the end.
If this is not possible, then I would probably be willing to sell the code do an xda Dev.
Please let me know

Sell the code to a dev that you got for free? Ya, that helps dev for Google Glass. You also only have 7 days to purchase.

They wouldn't end up being donated in the end, because once you use them, you can't go back to not using them.

I'm looking forward to beta testing the app you are developing.
Hey guys I have a promo code for moto x. I will give it to first senior member or above who replies here.
GOGOGO
Offer it to any member please. Every member deserves the ability to save $150, especially considering that code disintegrates at midnight.

I have an unused one. PM me if you want it,
I have a similar post up and it's had 83 views and not one person sent me a PM. I'm not even asking them to do anything crazy or taxing. A simple PM will result in a code and these lazy people aren't even going to do that. I don't want just anyone to grab the code and use it. I want a developer to grab it and use it to create new content for this awesome device. Is that too much to ask for? More so, I don't want some clown to take the code and then try to sell it on Ebay or CL.
I'm just trying to keep things honest and beneficial to the XDA community. Understand though, I already have a Moto X and I won't use this code. If it disintegrates at midnight I couldn't care less. I'm just wanting to help push this Moto X community forward. You can think whatever you want but I'm not concerned.
I got this for my wife who changed her mind at the last minute this morning and I'm trying to be nice and give it away. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Not everyone is a dev on XDA, my friend as though that we be wonderful if it were true, it isnt. Likelihood is, any dev who wanted one KNEW they wanted one, and thus have already acquired a code and arent looking for one with 8 hours left till the deadline. please. Dont let the code disintegrate. Let some poor soul who is still unfortunately looking, get it. No one is going to attempt to buy/sell these codes with such a tiny time frame left. Would you?

Dude, I get what you're saying and I definitely don't think that everyone on XDA is a developer. That's not the point that I was making at all. I want to give the code away and all I was asking was for someone to PM me for it. I know that there are people who want to develop for the Moto X and would consider buying one at this discounted price to be able to do that. Obviously I'm not planning on selling it or I would've instantly have done that. It drives me crazy that people are even doing that in the first place.
Two Promo Codes Expiring midnight (EST) tonight
I have two Moto-X $150 Promo Codes, which I am ready to share whoever sends me the PM first. One Code per Member. I would request to please ask for the Code, only if you are 100% sure you are going to buy the Moto-X today.

I have 1 too just in case
I'm blown away that we have codes available for people to use and no one is contacting us to snag one. SMH. Just a couple of days ago people were foaming at the mouth to get a promo code.

Gave my code to "royopata"
Aww man. I just saw this. I registered here just to comment that I wanted one (and I don't have any plans of selling it, mind you. I don't have a Moto X). Oh well. Now that I have an account here (instead of being a "guest" when viewing posts), might as well join in on this.
****OK FIRST OFF BY NO MEANS IS THIS METHOD A BRUTE FORCE METHOD OR A HACK OF SORTS****
***THIS METHOD INVOLVES PURCHASING A SERVICE AND PROVIDING YOUR DEVICES IMEI NUMBER****
***I, NOR ANYONE ELSE, IS NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU USE THIS AND SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK***
***IF SUCCESSFUL, YOU SHOULD ALSO KNOW THAT YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOIDED, BUT HEY YOUR HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER RIGHT?***
**SEE HERE FOR TWRP AND ROOT INT HIS THREAD INFO ONCE YOU ARE UNLOCKED**
UPDATE: See this post on pg 30 for TWRP and ROOT INSTALL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51155272&postcount=294
Ok so as some know there has been a somewhat confirmed and discovered way to unlock the bootloader on carrier purchased Moto X/Droid Ultra/Maxx/Mini Devices. I will explain in brief detail what is needed to do. Please understand that I will be providing no links, just a brief explanation of what you can do to attempt this. There are 2 methods.
1 - doing it directly yourself and purchasing the service. (website)
2 - using the service through a 3rd Party (eBay)
The service I found is on a website if you have not heard about it, PM someone here willing to help. Now in order to use the site you need to sign up etc etc and its not in English. Here is where your good ol friend Goggle Translate comes into play.
Now for Method 1
Sign up on the website. The website is called taobao.com. you will need to use chrome and google translate to navigate through the site. you will need to set up and account and payment info etc etc.
Search for a seller selling the unlock codes (Price will no be in USD). Search for xt1080 unlock or something like that. There are many purchase options. Just amke sure it is for your device and read the listing.
Purchase using the sites standard payment method (similar to paypal here) or through credit card elligble for purchases in the country of origin.
*Provide IMEI to seller and receive unlock code.
Usually within 24-48 hours you have an unlock code.
*NOTE - If you do not feel comfortable providing this, then i suggest you stop right away. Always know what you are doing and the risks involved.
Method 2
Certain sellers on eBay will provide a service to do all the purchasing for you and all you need to do it pay the small auction price, and then paypal or transfer them the funds for the sale. They will purchase for you etc etc. You will need to search for taobao on eBay and find a seller. Once this is done then you can work with the seller, provide the link to the item you want and go from there. Please be aware of what you are doing. IN this method you now give your IMEI to not only the person giving the unlock code, but also a person through eBay.
**AGAIN PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING**
I myself went ahead with method 1 and was successful (see images). Some people have had success and will contest to it. As with any boot loader unlock, please know your warranty is now void and neither XDA, its members, or anyone else including myself is responsible for what you do.
Please use this thread to talk about success or failure using this process if you do. Do not post links to anything or anything that would be frowned upon through XDA. If you want to you can always PM people for more details about things. Not saying everyone bombard me with PM's. I will answer but i also have a normal life and don't want people upset if i don't respond.
Please also note that unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device clean. This includes storage.
If you want more detailed instructions - Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/verizon-moto-maker-bootloader-unlock-t2680651
Good Luck
UPDATE: IMAGES ATTACHED, I HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED. Sorry for the blurry cam pics, only had a work iPod touch that i could snap quick pictures with
As tempting as this is, I'll likely not opt for it. This phone is not a lifelong device, which, coincidentally, also temps me to, and not to do it. Naw, too risky.
fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
My concern is what will be done with all these imei numbers that are collected. It's not like they can't be stolen by company employees before the phone is ever bought... I think the big question would be what is the WORST that could happen by providing your imei if you can prove you legally purchased the device

I did option 2 yesterday. Just waiting on the codes now. I will update once I get the file and have the BL unlocked.

Yea thats the big risk. the other thing to think about to is that at any given time any employee has access to all the IMEI stickers on the boxes. all it takes is 1 person to screw around and thats that. im willing to take the risk for right now. if it works YAY...if not then well i'll get a refund and then probably dump the phone for a new one when something else comes out.
And this thread is the reason this method will not last very long.
People don't seem to understand, talking and making threads about such things in the open cuts down the time things like this are available.

May I make a suggestion that you remove the service details - name, origin. Etc. For both methods And request people PM you instead? Pretty please??
The more we keep private the longer this will last.

Cmon, IMEI is not a secret code you can use to get full access to your phone or something else. It is written on the label of the box of very droid. This way any janitor in Verizon store has an access to the vital information. Seriously? You can generate all droids IMEI on your own, rules are known:

One would make a lot more money selling individual unlocks. 60+ sales would cover that. And think of other phones that use this method too. And likely not an exploit that can be released. But maybe a method that should be kept quiet

Stop just please stop this nonsense. No one is hiding anything what this guy is doing has nothing to do with the bounty. And no one on XDA is hiding anything stop trolling. Either participate or don't but stop with stupid conspiracy theories. I'm tired of all the haters if you don't feel comfortable then don't do it. Were all big boys here and can make up our own minds.
All you ones needing can communicate everything one needs to know, just with PM's only..maybe post results in a simple yes or no, success or not in the thread..if anyone has a question for another..then just click on that ones ID and communicate that way..never giving a clue here..but it certainly is to late for not "spilling the beans" but as of out of respect for that ones request..make the thread unclear to what is happening..or delete it..

I have used the unlock code from the seller. It 100% works. I did refresh my phone which I didn't want to happen. Bad news is he informed me that he is getting out of selling the unlock codes and asked that I not share is information. I will respect his wishes. IDK if there are other people willing to sell the codes.
Here we can keep the ROM threads clear of all the Samsung Insights talk.
Samsung Insights is an application/program that Samsung is using to track how their devices are being used by everyday people in their every day lives.
It is by invite only.
If you are invited and get your device, you are now a potential reference for someone that has attempted to get into the program.
If you have sent Samsung an email and gotten a response asking for a referral name, you come here to this thread and ask for someone that has already been in the program for their name. They will PM you their name. That is all you need.
Please do not put your emails here. We are not sending out referral links or survey links for the insights program.
Edit: I am no longer able to give my name for referrals. Please do not PM me asking for one.
Me too. Whoever can give us their names that would be fantastic
@Bone_Enterprise will be messaging people that asked in the DK thread.
I just received the same Insights email. Anyone who wants to be my referral, hit me up with a PM :highfive:
Got my referral name in and got a response email from them.
"we thank you for your prompt response"
Anyway. I think they are getting ready for the release of the Note 4. I would love to get my hands on one of those.
i got a note 3 really quick
all i have to do is keep their app on my phone for 6 months then it is mine...no catches!!!
i ask them if i can root my phone they said they would prefer that i did not but did not say i can't...so i rooted with towelroot.
i had a note 2 first and i loved it, now i just have to get accustom to all the new options.
i hope they ask me to do a note 10.1 2014.

Guys. Referral names are needed from people that are already in the program.
You will get an email from Samsung Insights asking for the name of someone in the program and your name.
If someone that is in the program is willing, PM your name to people.
I must request you guys to keep personal information out of the open forums. That includes personal emails.

If anyone could refer me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Update 9/30/14:
Samsung Insights emailed me today. They are now limiting members to 2 referrals. I've already sent out way more than that. So, until I hear otherwise from S. I. I will not be giving out any more referrals. Sorry! Good luck to everyone.
Anyone still needing a referral:
- PM me
- Ask for a referral to Samsung Insights
- Provide me your email address
I will reply before I go to bed this morning or when I wake up this evening.

I wanted to stop in and say thanks to everyone for their support. Thanks to @OMJ for opening the thread and thanks to everyone that has donated.
I've never been one to ask for handouts, and everything I've done for the community I've done because I enjoy it and never to get anything back. So to see this response is really touching. I'll make sure the funds are used toward a U11 and if I'm able to get one I'll make sure I add official support for it to TWRP and maintain the device for as long as it's not bricked (it happens, lol).
Thanks again, and if you happen to already have the device, a semi-working TWRP was posted by someone in another thread in this section. My thoughts on that are here.
CPT_Throwback,
We take it for granted that these things are available to us. Little do folks realize the work that goes behind the scenes.
I for one, will support you guys and am glad OMJ posted it here.
Thank you Sir, you have a wonderful Memorial day.
@Captain_Throwback you're been around and supported a lot of HTC devices around to enable us modding enthusiasts to flash a working TWRP, all done on your own expenses. Who, if bot you, would be allowed to ask for a little compensation an help when needed.
I've always been glad to be able to use a TWRP maintained by you, and always will. Hope this bounty can make it possible for all of us. Thanks for everything done to the community so far, and all that's hopefully coming.
And a special thanks to @OMJ for opening this thread. Great and needed idea.
All the best to you two.

I got my black U11 3 days ago in Taiwan, but unfortunately the screen had a little defect so I had to return it back for a new one. However I'm not in a hurry, because I'm still waiting for TWRP on it! Thanks @Captain_Throwback for you contribution on my HTC 10, and I'm looking forward to see your work on U11!
