giving away old bricked SGH I257M

[Tazzypillar]

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.
