Hey man i know the android community is rough, i know it can be pretty darn demanding. you have far more than paid any kind of dues (if they were expected or something). i wanted to create this thread to thank you and let others know how much i value your work.
we have known each other for a while, first time i had heard of you was with the admire. you showed up and rooted it within 6 mins, i thought for sure you were just some con artist, but it was based on the belief that no way could anyone just find a new exploit that quickly on such a lowly known phone. didnt take long for me to realize you were on a whole nother league of android, (3-5 leagues above me as a ballpark figure ).
since then you have been a tremendous help, finding exploits in various samsung devices to get us dumps of system.img's so i could then make it into a rooted/odinable img. or even the occasional exploit that you let slip out to help us. you have impacted so many people in the android community as whole in such a positive way. some of the times out there in the headlines, other times in the shadows.
you have taught me so much, in fact i used to be part of the problem. i copied your droid 3 exploit as part of my one click script for the photon 4g, it wasnt until i read your article about plagiarism that i started to understand. i immediatly edited the post and tried to spread what i had learned.
the recent news, your motochopper exploit that rooted just about every phone this year and last, you unlocked the moto phones (their entire lineup). you made loki for the sgs4 and even was nice enough to port it to lg (and add support for a few oddball devices). the backlash has been undeserving and quite frankly pathetic that so many people would deny you credit.
i know it isnt much, im a poor man . but i wanted to let you know how much i am so very grateful to know you.
all in all, thanks man
