Hey all!!!
Just want you all to know I am back and ready to go. I plan on working on this device a lot more now that I’m happy with what progress is being made on my other 3 devices, along with the fact that I am no longer on vacation. I wanted to give you guys an outlook on what I am looking on working on over the next couple of weeks:
Working on getting to inject new kernels using hkvc’s method
Finding new ways to restore 1.4.0
Updating NARS
Building a rom to try to inject using the 2ndinit.
Automating a lot of things for you users whom just want to use the market place.
A Secret Project with AdamOutler (hopefully, DO NOT ASK WHAT IT IS)
I also wanted to thank hkvc for all of his work and Dean for all of his work through the last couple of weeks, you guys have done some amazing work.
I will be in IRC working with the devs to get these things running along with answering any of your questions.
Keep up the good work.
Looking forward to seeing what you guys accomplish.

Yay Looking forward to hearing how that fares
I really hope you guys have success with 2nd Init. I just read about the UART hardware mod hack, but I really don't want to try to solder.
Hey, welcome back! We missed you
sound promising, guys. Keep up the great jobs!
Sure is nice to have users that are smarter than me What you guys need to develop is a "FIREWALL" to keep B&N from getting on a device we paid money for and should be able to do what we want with it.
Welcome Back! I am glad to see that you have restoring back to 1.4.0 on your bucket list! I really need some help here.
Thanks for all you do!!

Hate to say this but my ROM modding days are over, well for the Raphael.
I would like to thank everyone that I have learned from and all the contributors to the forum. Thanks for all of your tools and answering my questions when I was a new at modding ROMs.
Also I would like to thank the users of my work. It is cool to develop something that so many people enjoyed.
And I would like to give a special thanks too all that made donations for the time it took me to create the modded ROMs. I did not get into this for money. When I first started I suggested to donate to XDA instead of myself in my sig. Once my phone had it's little accident I thought to change my sig to what it is currently. I was planning on changing it back to donate to XDA if I ever raised enough for a new phone.
Unfortunately I do not have enough and my phone is totally screwed now. Before I tried to repair my phone I attempted to create ROMs with the help of others testing but it took up way too much time. I managed to rig what was left of my phone together to get into a state where I could have used it for testing purposes. It has now gone competely haywired on me and will no longer run.
So thanks once again to everyone. I will still be lurking around and helping when I can.
Thank you for all your contributons. You will be missed!

Well lets see
Good luck.
Thanks for your great roms..
I always appreciated your work and you were one of the less that was able to cook without giving me the feeling the rom was crappy build. (yes, most rom cookers do create crap....)
If you ever buy a new phone, a raphael of something else, please inform us about it
I want to thank you for your efforts. I have been using your ROM for over a month now and its been great! Good luck to whatever you choose to do down the road
we hate to see you go. Our community will be losing a tremendous asset. If this is the last of you, many thanks and appreciation for all the blood sweat and tears.
If we get to see a triumphant return, then we'll see you live and fight another day.
thanks again, for all your hard work.
i figured there is someone on here that works for ATT that can hook him up.
Sorry to see you go mate, have had a couple of your OEM packages in my kitchen for a while
Always sad to see a Chef who has lost his frying pan...
Hopefully, we'll see you around here again soon.
You were the first ROM I tried, best ROM I tried. Your 5.4 build was absolutely amazing. I appreciate all your hard work, and you responded to every question that was asked, unlike some other cooks here. If you ever do come back, that would be one of the most triumphant returns I have ever seen.
Hey thanks for all the support guys. I will be back whenever I get a new phone. If it is a touch pro or whatever I will be back in the ROM modification game.
I recently went back to school and I have a tight budget so it is not so easy to drop another 400 bucks on a phone again. Maybe after my papers are done and finals I can find some extra work to get some extra cash.
I am still tweaking my 6.5 kitchen to be prepared if something comes along.
Thanks!

Just another "sorry to see you go" comment. You were super-helpful when I was using your ROM and kitchen, and a pleasure to be in touch with whenever I had a question. Here's hoping you get a new phone soon because 1) The community will miss you a lot and 2) Dude, you deserve to have a phone!
im sorry to see you go! I know personally you have been a big help for me in my endeavors. Raphael forums will miss you! Thanks for everything!

Glad to see your ROMs are doing so well!
When I am done with my last exam I will try to create some new 6.5 ROMs. Hope I can catch up to you guys
Definitely a great kitchen! I am going to try this out today. Does the batch file delete all the "useless" files to make the ROM fully stripped down? For instance, mvbarian's kitchen from Kaiser did this and it made it a "lite" version. I would like to do the same with this but I am new to the fuze/raphael. Once again, great job on your ROMs and kitchen.
Hey guys! I don't want anyone to see this as fishing for compliments or thanks, so let's kill that idea first.
I was recently nominated and accepted as a Recognized Contributor here on xda, so I just wanted to kinda give you guys a formal and friendly introduction.
Username: RegnierD -> IRL: Todd
I've been an Android geek for nearly two years now, and have absorbed a lot of information in that time. While I may not be able to build my own rom or submit fixes on github, I do retain information very well and try to help out everywhere I can. I just want everyone to know that if you guys ever need help with something or just need a little guidance, feel free to ask me and I'll do the best I can to respond in a timely manner. I know the big world of root and custom roms can be a bit daunting at first, but that's why we help our newer members learn rather than gripe at them.
You guys can either post questions here or PM me, but I do ask that you try and figure it out on your own first. You'll learn a lot more that way. I promise, that's how I learned everything I know.
Devs, this goes for you too. If you need a last minute tester for something, I'm almost always available to help. I'm willing to switch roms on a dime and flash/push files to the phone. I'll be putting my GTalk ID on my profile soon, so you guys can reach me if need be.
I hope I can be as useful as possible to you guys! Happy rooting to you!

thanks brO!! its nice to see there still are some decent people who are here to help.. i respect that..
same here...good to see some more help for sure. But anyways ive just got one question here for ya and you may or may not be able to help me. ive tried to ask this in the forums and haven't got an answer so here it goes.
My phone gets warm up around the camera area almost immediately it seams like. it starts when i start using data such as scrolling around Facebook or downloading an app, etc...and was just wondering if that's normal or should i get a replacement? $590 bucks is a lot for a phone and i just want it right ya know.
Now the only reason i ask this is cuz my gnex does the same thing but it gets really hot after about 15 to 20 mins of using data.
thanks a lot for all your hard work and support for dummies like me that dont know anything lol...
Hi folks.
I came on this forum a while back to get my Bell Galaxy Note 717 returned to its former operating condition after Samsung buggered it up by putting ICS on it. I received a load of help and encouragement from some GREAT folks (who are a heck of a lot cleverer than me) and got my lovely phone back to where it was. Now, in those immortal words, "I'm back!"
At the end of the previous discussion, a couple suggested that — now I'd lost my phone-flashing virginity — I might want to try some custom ROMs and stuff like that. Whilst I very much appreciate their enthusiasm, I'm afraid that I really am just one small degree ahead of absolute noob and therefore I don't want to delve too deep into this stuff. However! I am quite interested in rooting the phone so that I can install and use Titanium Backup. So this is what I'm hunting for, please and thank you:
A copy of the ClockworkMod thing so that I can do the root.
The actual root file itself so I can install it with Odin (I believe it's called 'superuser' or something).
Any help you good folks would be willing to offer.
Just a small point, if I may; I DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT ICS or another newer Android version. I'm very happy with Gingerbread and I'm staying with it. Stat. I respectfully request that you don't try to convince me otherwise, unless you want me to believe that you're a twit. You will doubtless, in return, call me a Luddite and I will not disagree. Card-carrying, fee-paying, life-membership Luddite!!
Anyway, there we go, that's it for now. I'm looking forward to all the flashing and rooting and stuff! Yeah! Thanks in anticipation of your kind replies.
Cheers,
Sandy B.

I have talked to Verizon they say they they have no problems running ubntu if I want to but not covered for warranty or insurance... ehhh no biggie.... so has anyone tried it yet ? I know I had seen a thread but its old... just wondering has anyone attempted yet ?
Why would you even ask verizon. I haven't used it personally. If you do use it and need warranty or insurance just put it back to stock first. Insurance claims don't even go through verizon tho.

Why not insurance would have paid for this phone just off monthly payments and I'm out of warranty anyways... They have have joined ubuntu cag so maybe they know of a dev trial that I don't wanted to see what info they had they actually support you with this as they're trying to get devs back to Verizon since the dev group is pretty slim at Verizon. But the questions is asked was more of the anyone have info on it running successfully or not...

sorry for the delay i know i kind of let this slide to the back of my priorities... i have images to flash but am trying to find a way around the bootloader... i flashed the files to my phone and got myself a nice messy secure boot error which everyone including senior devs told me i couldnt fix. I did fix the secure boot (hard brick) issue so i guess really a soft brick.... finding a way around secure booting
is now my issue... keep watching for more news... again sorry for the delay
So with the help of a wonderful man named @kryz I was able to dump our init file to him and he is going to be able to setup root for us! This was a lot off help from the DirtyCow threads and the universal utility of it. Also the thread @abine45 made regarding a temp root shell which gave me just the little bit of extra permissions I needed in order to be able to dump our file and get it to him. But seriously @kryz is the **** and you should buy him a coffee even before this comes out just for the hard work he has put into it thus far. Hang in there gang.

Wow, I am super glad I could be of help! Was just about to try something new, but with this I won't have to do anything else. Sorry I wasn't more of a help because I was busy. This is great!!
I'll be checking back regularly to get this baby on MM! Thank you for all your hard work!
Waw thank you alot! What version should we be? I'm on 23A is it okay?
Has anyone checked to see if the exploits still work after the last 2 security updates?
So let me just clarify, I'm on VS99024A. PLEASE DO NOT UPDATE JUST BECAUSE OF MY POST. I'm going to make a guide for the exploit and post it here in our forums so be patient. Trust me I'm as eager as you are. @Haxcid I'm not entirely sure but I bet people will try it But the jist of it is, if I was able to get the DirtySanta exploit to give me temp root, and the DirtyCow exploit is 100% compatible with my firmware then I'm pretty sure it should work for the updates THAT ARE OUT RIGHT NOW. I have no clue about the ones to come. I can guarantee they will patch dirtycow at some point.
So for those of us who pledged, it's almost time to pony up! I can't wait!
Thank you guys for your hard work on this device! I really appreciate it.
holy sh*t!!!!!!
fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!
yeaaaahhhhh baby! you da man!!
Woot!!!
I hope updating to 25A didn't ruin it for me... but fingers crossed.
seems like we got some fresh blood in here! Hats off to guys and gals that do this for the love of doing it.
Hes going on a small vaca but I'm going to try and push for him to get it to us first ;D
Everyone needs beer on vaca! Lol

I have contact with the guy who is helping root, and so far what he's told me is that it should be universal.
Correct it should be universal.
Thanks for the continued effort, many of us are still here and so excited for this!
I knew the "best brains" would find some way to work around the road blocks in Marsh Mellow.
I've got my fingers and toes crossed! The LG V10 is the Best and WORST smart phone I've ever owned. Best for it's outstanding features, WORST because of how Verizon has turned it into a turd by loading it with crapware and BREAKING functionality with sloppy updates.
