Root Phones for Dev's

PH8AL

Dead phones and the cost of replacements seem to loose us more Devs than anything else. Even if they move on to an other phone if they still had an Ultra around that they didn't have to shell out for they would prolly still help us out.

Been scanning ebay and there are several used or refurbished Ultras from reputable sellers going for less than $40 with little time left on the auction. If its $20 and there is only 6 hours left than chances are good its not going much higher. Several of them Ive seen the last few days have been from sellers with good return policies. Watched one close out yesterday with a final bid of $28.

I know a lot of you are in the same boat I am and only have so much time for the forum cause work is scarce and your prolly as broke as I am atm.

But if we want development I think we are going to have to get serious, organize and get phones in the hands of these Devs, many who are as broke as we are and are risking their personal phones for us.

So lets hear some suggestions.
 
Hey i have a ultra but the charge port is gone but if u take a charged battery and put init it works!!!so if they get a wall charger and a few extra battreys(they have them on ebay for like 10$)then thats one phone they will have extra!!! I just ask one thing i flashed that (EG30 tar stock it flashing everying at one time ) with odin and now my boost phone is a sprint phone and i want it back to boost and the odin files i have arent flashing it back for me!!! So i was wanting to know if some one can make me a boost tar like the EG30 TAR
 
I think it would be good to have 2 threads stickied one for people offering phones up and the other where devs can post requests for phones.

It might also be good to get a couple of trusted members with the time set up with a donation link and paypal to handle the ebay hunt, so members could donate cash instead of having to do the ebay thing themselves.

Volunteers?
 
I +1 this.

I am currently trying to learn this whole compiling thing. I have a Nexus7 and really want to port JB to this phone. Since Loota states it would work, I'm not giving up.
