Temp Root Bounty for Verizon Variants

[mrjaydee82]

Once we have temp root it'll make unlocking bootloader easy. Please no bashing people saying sell your Verizon version and buy a Google Version. Anyhow once we have temp root we will get an unlock bootloader method. I'm in to kick it off for $250

Not bathing but just curious if you were looking to root.... What made you decide not to get unlocked version?

I bought mine from Verizon too, I bought a used moto z force for 140 then traded it in for 450 to get the XL 2 for 50% off. Root wasn't important enough to not take that deal. But I'll throw down $10 for root.

$10

Makes sense...$450 is an attractive deal... And I just noticed Moto z force isn't an option for trade in at the Google store

I would like to help contribute or donate in making this possible.

How can I donate?

***I can donate $25

Unfortunately, isn't going to happen this time.

Jcase, the person that broke it last time, is very very busy.

The common stance on this with most programmers and hackers is that 'you should have bought the Unlockable one'

The most you will be able to do is hope for a massive defect and get Google to trade your device.

While I get the sentiment to have purchased the unlockable one, the black friday discount was just too good pass up. the play store wont ship out 2XL in panda for a few weeks. It sucks but I'm sure someone can figure it out. All devices on verizon lock bootloaders, theres not many now that use Oreo, but in a few weeks or months there will be greater push for unlocking.

I'm down for$50 if it happens

My speculation is that nobody wants to work on it because buyers had the choice of buying the unlocked bl.

depixel8 only worked for a very short time and was useless, once they released 7.1.1

If there was a prayer, it would only happen if You found a hacker that was interested in it.

Best of luck!

I'm hoping other locked bootloader oreos push the demand.

The biggest problem here is, hackers and developers only buy unlocked versions. Many don't have a locked device to test on.

That's a pretty convincing argument. I guess I'll just get the black model since the panda is on back order.

I hereby retract my 50 from the bounty.

 

[x201s]

Ill happily add 200$ to the bounty if developers can unlock the verizon XL2.

 

[ironmaskusa]

Yea.. what about that pixel xl temp root or new depixeloreo exploit? Please!!!!

You all need to venture out in other forums that have had a bootloader unlock in the past year. That's where you may find someone who actually wants to help out.

This may require purchase of this device to send to the hacker.

I have been a member for quite some time and keep in touch with several members that are directly responsible for things like depixel8.

It seems that the days of unlocking bootloaders are slowly becoming a thing of the past.

Not saying you couldn't try to get another genius on it but, don't expect much.

The other reason that people don't want to unlock the bootloaders is because they get a ton of newbs in their shoulders asking stupid questions because they didn't read original posts with the instructions.

Check the TWRP or Magisk thread, people are just incapable of reading.

My suggestion is: Save your money till next October and buy unlocked. 10 months, $910.

They will probably offer a trade in as well.

Not quite sure what everyone wants with rooting anyway. Substratum can be used without root, everything else is just about there. There have been no new ROMs for this phone (doesn't really need one either) and, the Kernel is about the only thing you'd be left wanting to flash.

Adguard takes care of 99.9% of ads without root.

What do you all need root for?

Count me in for 50$ I'm ordering this device Tonite. Verizon is offering for 300$ off now. 50 more for custom recovery.
