If this has been accomplished I might "donate" some extra money. Maybe I'm too cynical these days. :eek:

I'm still missing a screen shot or picture and another member having success, I will pay, but not so fast. As excited as I am it almost seems to good to be true and you know what they say about that, it usually is... Let's hope for the best and get some real hard proof.

just personal opinion as from what i hear this was leaked from a samsung employee not hacked or anything.. i might not be correcr but im assuming the prize $ would go to the leaker or the leakers choice.. but granted he can loose his job i doubt he wants to take paypal donations for it lol!

    Alright guys, you know what this is. Just like the title says, first person to fully unlock or create a flashable patched bootloader (similar to what was done with the HTC ThunderBolt before HTC announced their own unlock tool) that can allow to flash custom kernels, custom recovery, etc... straight from ODIN gets the bounty. I will start the bounty and please feel free to add your donations.

    Please note: No direct PM's will be accepted. Only posts in this thread will added to the bounty list. No exceptions.

    Thread reopened

    Between the disgusting tags (and yes, I do know who posted them) and the ridiculous arguing, this thread has to be cleaned. Don't post to argue.

    Edit - I have cleaned up the thread, and 25 useless posts were removed. If yours was one of them, think before you post.

    If you don't want to participate in this bounty, DON'T POST IN THIS THREAD.

    XDA has no control over what is exchanged here, or not, however, as long as the thread remains positive I will continue to allow it to be open. Start baseless speculation and spreading FUD, and I'll lock it for good.

    I sincerely hope that some of these donations go to the leaker. It is he/she who put their neck (job, livelihood) on the line for this community. Sure, AdamOutler and the other devs have spent countless hours mapping out the MSM8690 and such (which is greatly appreciated,) but in the end, someone else released this. I think that person should get a sizable chunk of the $$$ here.

    Please "like" if you think Adam should forward some beans to the "African-Canadian sock monkey"
