I'm going to try to get lineageos running on the SM-G975U, this method can possibly be used for other USA bootloader locked phones.
As known a lot of resources are needed to build and analyze stuff so any paypal donations are welcome.
I have different idea's about how to unlock the bootloader or install LineageOS or get root
Donations will probably encourage me because otherwise i need to buy hardware and resources myself, i once wrote a rom for the Asus Zenwatch (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/webwear-2-0-android-wear-2-0-for-zenwatch.3592926/) but nobody would donate for the 100's of hours i put into it and i stopped working on it because people were complaining and not donating so that's why i'm asking.
Mod edit: PayPal link removed.

Greetings. In response to your statement, I will politely ask you to refer to XDA Rule #8:
8. Donations.
As a user, you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work, however donations up front are not allowed. This forum is about sharing and not about getting paid to do something... that is what your job is for.

A PM is also forthcoming so that we can discuss a couple of couple of XDA topics. Thread closed.

Where can I download the Clockwork Mod Recovery installation files? All the links I've found appear to be dead:
droidaftermarket.com/koush/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-supersonic.img
droidaftermarket.com/koush//recoveries/flash_image
download ROM manager from the market and try installing it through the app...
if it fails for some reason the img file for the recovery is in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/www.droidaftermarket.com/koush/recoveries
Thanks! It worked like a charm!
Seriously, these ridiculous threads have to stop.

The mods can very easily restrict the Evo Dev forum to more senior members, and have chosen not to. Flyertalk.com has several forums hidden/locked in this way.
Perhaps you should contact the local XDA mods, directly?

High post count ≠ good forum etiquette.
Just as an alternate viewpoint... why was this a ridiculous thread? I had an issue yesterday where I couldn't get Rom manager to flash clockwork. I didn't know where the files were located, I would have loved to have been able to flash clockwork manually, as opposed to wipe-restore-wipe-restore until I got Rom manager to work. We are not all hackers, I wasn't writing Linux at 9 (or 29). But I shouldn't have to be interning at Google to take advantage of these forums, and who better to ask where they put the files than the devs who write the code. Maybe this belongs in q and a, but it isn't ridiculous and junior members shouldn't be barred from posting. If we were all devs then no one would be supporting or donating, we would just do it ourselves. And if noobs couldn't ask questions, they would forever remain noobs.

Maybe not, but at least most folks with 75 posts would know not to put a crap thread like this, in Dev.
Besides, Flyertalk uses a post + age method to disable write access to sensitive forums.
What's going on xda? I wanted to post this in the developer forum, so that possibly Ya know, a developer would see it and read it but the site said "no" so I have to post here. I had my phone rooted with weaksauce I was gonna go all out and unlock the boot loader and s-off but weaksauce made it so easy to have root access I was pretty satisfied with just that for a little while at least. Then I got an update Download from Verizon. I pressed where it said update now. I was curious. I'm sorry, anyway now I have the Verizon version of sense 6.0 and weaksauce shows me root failure when it runs. It's been like this for quite some time now and I've been searching around for any info on it but I'm the only person who has made a post about it so far. Other people also have this problem, I made a post on android forums and many others are sharing the same issue. Developers please. Let me know if you share the problem or know the solution or if you are currently working on the solution because I am getting slightly impatient. Thanks
Why not post this in Verizon HTC ONE forum? There you will receive more help.

If it was actually that simple I would have already done that. I have a VERIZON m7. Weaksauce was the only root method I tried that worked, so it's not that I'm too lazy to search around for the correct thread, it's that that correct thread doesn't exist yet so I just keep making threads on different android forums until I flood the internet with my words and someone finally notices.

Whats Going on? What is going on is that you really didnt pay attention to the rules when you joined. Had you then you would know why you cant post in the Dev forums. You would also know that had you posted this in the dev forums, it would have been deleted on site.
Now I am gonna move this to the proper device forums and advise you to take another look at the rules before you post again.
Basically, you are SOL until Firewater/Weaksauce/Towelroot is made to work on our latest OTA.
Had you run Firewater when you had root, prior to updating, you would have been able to update and retain s-off and root.
Since you didn't, you are now stuck without root until/when/if an updated method/exploit is posted.

Dude, keep moving it if it makes you feel important. The rules really are not my main concern on this site, I had a question it got answered pretty directly after about 4 useless "this has to be moved" posts now I'm going to continue to wait. You guys are like maids for this site do they pay you well? Is it just fun for you to move threads to the correct place? pretty much: LOL @ false sense of entitlement thread police

Your thread got answered after it was moved to the right place, so that mod with "a false sense of entitlement" is the only reason you got a accurate reply.
Your call, but a bit of appreciation for those who keep this site running and volunteer to help is never a bad thing. Running a site of this size is not an easy task.

Wow so let me get this straight. You come to a development sight and want to ask a question? Tthen you post in the wrong section so you get the least amount of answers. So not only does a mod come along and move it to the proper place so you have a chance of getting an answer, but tells you where you messed up instead of just deleting your post. So you proceed to call names and insult me? Then break the rules again. Well how about this. The next time you decide to insult someone you will be banned from the site and then you be stuck with what ever simple minded questions you may have. Take this as your only warning. I would normally just remove you from the site for good but I am in a good mood today so I will let this one slide.
I'm here on behalf of users who are unable to use the device because of the damn Hard Brick, I kindly ask that some developer help us in this difficult task, I am not using the device for 3 weeks and I am not able to buy a new one. Here in Brazil we are in a political and financial crisis would be, in good faith that you help us to recover our devices.
Many others who have already made requests, I hope you will attend to this! :laugh:
We are just lovers of customization with custom rom. :highfive:

I can tell you from the start that this topic is pointless.
as you can see, for more than a month I started looking for a remedy for the bricked phones.
I said and I repeat, as soon as I find a repair method, I'll post that all users of the bricked phones can repair them.
During this time I tried a lot of methods like: blank-flash, adb, fastboot, emmcdl, all the tools to write the software on the phones we found, none worked.
My testers can confirm this!
and believe me, I saw all the requests posted from all the users who have the brick phones.
I have searched for and continue to search for this remedy, I have interrupted any android related activity for that except for my previous phone where I have some open topics and I need to provide support and help too.
thank you!
No need of blank flash dude.. download mmcblko file make bootable sd card on windows 7 insert sd card on mobile connect with charger press power button only for 20 second and done

Hey everyone,
I bought the international version(China) during the release. Since the new update(JUI12.5) I am locked out of my google accounts and I cannot use anything related to google, as many of you already know. What I am here for is to convert my BS3 into Global ROM but I am very unfamiliar with the methods and I am very skeptical about doing it. If anyone is out there that has a solution and is willing to help me through these steps I would be very much appreciated and I can compensate for your time. Thanks
