[Bounty] Disable write protection/Unlock bootloader

[CtrlAltConstruct]

UPDATE: Sunshine bootloader unlock in now available for the Droid Turbo for $25 here. Special thanks to @jcase and @beaups for their great work.


Now that we have a method of rooting thanks to @maiko1 and @Tomsgt's hard work, the only other hurdles to get over are disabling write protection of the system files, and bootloader unlock. There is already a bounty thread for bootloader unlock (link), however it is no longer being maintained, so I feel a new thread is in order. I will do my absolute best to maintain this thread, and keep track of those willing to donate.

Current list:

1. CtrlAltConstruct: $20 WP | $30 BL
2. Harry44: $20 WP | $50 BL
3. smooth781: $100 BL
4. Gambit87xx: $30 BL
5. computerfreek274: $50 WP | $50 BL
6. X_man.: $15 WP | $25 BL
7. m4rk0358: $10 WP | $50 BL
8. -Michael_: $20 WP | $35 BL
9. ExcuseTheN00b: $80 WP | $80 BL
10. windraver: $50 WP | $50 BL
11. livinitwarrior: $25 WP | $50 BL
12. jayson4444: $75 BL
13. danger2u: $50 BL
14. themortalwombat: $50 BL
15. windraver: $25 WP | $25 BL
16. Khanusma: $20 BL

Total: $315 for WP | $770 for bootloader.

Write protection is irrelevant. I can already write to and flash /system. So can everyone else with moforoot.

Yeah by making an image. A lot of things dont work without write protect disabled.

....and those that paid for mofo should get this for free, just sayin'

Why should the fact that you paid for mofo have anything at all to do with some other dev's work? If maiko1 came up with the write protection disable or bootloader unlock, then perhaps you would have an argument for a discount. But certainly not if some other dev did.

People "just say" the stupidest things. LOL!

and @Tomsgt's hard work

What did he do other than make a video?

bootloader unlock.

The only devs likely to come up with this are jcase and beaups and if past behavior is predictor of future behavior, they aren't likely to be going the bounty route. If they do, my guess is that it will be a paid option.

Unlock my bootloader and i'll pay 100.00 for it

That's a really ignorant thing to say. It absolutely is relevant. I'll gladly pay money for a root that doesn't require a reimage flash and has write access.

is someone actually working on this? i see an unlock option in mofo.... anyone know what thats about?

It say coming soon when you try it.

Yeah but is it real or or are they making it seem real so that no one else will work on it. Allowing them more time to get it working? I don't know I'm into conspiracy's haha.

If they had intentions of working on it further, I would guess those have gone out the window after the warm reception the root method got. Maybe I'm wrong and the sales from root will give them the push they need to continue looking for a bootloader unlock, but if it were me I wouldn't work that hard just to be met with endless negativity.

But it's not you, so I guess we are going to be okay.

$30 BL unlock please.

" In summary, mofo will let you flash any system image to your device. To get root, flash a pre-rooted system image. It does not disable write protection - anything that writes to system at runtime WILL NOT WORK "

Flash anything for root but without sysem.img read&write support, it is not a real root solution yet. I believe maiko1 can achieve it.

This is real root, you just have to understand the program he brought to us which obviously you dont.
