Droid MAXX - Bootloader unlocked - Root away!

[INGrep]

Questions for anyone that's unlocked the bootloader. Does it wipe your phone clean? If so, is there a way to back up and restore stuff such as messages? Some stuff I'd rather not lose. Loved moto migrate for that

I'd use SMS backup and restore. Once your messages are saved, take the backup file and transfer it to a computer until your phone is ready to be restored. When you reinstall all your apps, transfer the file back to your phone and use it to get your messages back.

Could someone PM me how to get in touch with the Chinese guys that are offering this service? I can't register on that Chinese website and I want my BL unlocked ASAP.

Got the PM, thanks. Sent the cash via PayPal, but the guy said he was having trouble getting the code. Said I could either wait a few days for him to try again, or I apply for a refund.

Been unlocked for days and LOVING IT! Was on rooted 4.2.2 but it was too hard to use Cydia and puttytel.

I went thru the eBay middleman. Very smooth transaction. Took 48 hrs.

Hope development flourishes now on this reborn device!

Anyone gotten any codes today? Hearing it might be all over.

Dan Rosenberg said it best. We need to take this into consideration when upgrading. The ability to modify phones becomes more difficult. The HTC one m8 is already rooted.

I just pray every day that alternate upgrades won't go away since it's such a small amount of customers....

I tried going through an eBay agent yesterday and was told the seller no longer had anymore codes at this time and could not provide a time when more would be available. Looks like I might have missed the boat.

That's what it looks like.

well hopefully an exploit comes out to either root or unlock it

 

[jfriend33]

i would hold off on this as many are reporting that the service is closed or they have been refunded.

 

[pope3909]

I can confirm that this service is not currently available. I've been informed that I will be contacted if and when it is reinstated, but I have a feeling that it's gone for good. :'(

If you bought a number and haven't Used it yet, it should work...right?

Thanks,

Right, the numbers don't expire. The only issue would be that you received the wrong number, because the imei wasn't right.

Hi how exactly did you root your maxx?

Hi how exactly did you root your maxx?

The easiest way to root your Maxx is that you still need to be on 4.2.

Thanks,

You can't...once you upgrade to 4.4, you can't go back.

I just recently purchased the DROID MAXX just to find out that it can't be rooted. This has been the only helpful thread on this topic and I was wondering if anyone knows if the codes can still be purchased from the Chinese website. If it can, would anyone be willing to help me with the process? Any info and help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
