Sad to say but ive seen no developement in the last 3 months i hate to say it but i dont expect to see anything beneficial
 
If and when Metro clears out the Connect inventory, which I think will happen soon, we'll see some more business here. Nobody wants to pay 350 for a phone for a phone that you can barely root now, let alone severe lack of development.
 
Yeah as long as vv5 stays locked (not rootable) it's pretty much done with. Sucks cause I only got about 6 good months of use out of this phone and it costed me $400 dollars (which was very hard to scrape up). Pisses me off!

All hope is not lost, we need a root god to look into the Masterkey Exploit, see my post here...
 
Whats the problem with just flashing to VV3 and rooting, and then going from there? Do we really need to use VV5?

I'm on a rooted VV3 downgraded from a VV5 I just bought yesterday :( (Bad choice, should've paid a bit more for a better phone - fail)
 
No, you don't have to use VV5, go ahead and use a ZVx based ROM if you wish, if it will work. There are a few threads about the Metro-T-Mo merger that affected data and some other components of anything Pre-VV5 ROMs. Mostly data not working, but I think that affected only some people in different areas/markets. My Connect was a drink coaster during the whole merger and transition so I'm not fully aware of all that went awry.
