Hi folks,
According to the Cyanogenmod.org site, the Mega is not yet officially supported.
So I am curious, what custom firmware exists at this point for the Mega?
By firmware I do not mean a ROM in which someone has changed a few images, colors, or other styling, or added an app.
I mean something where the core software has been improved.
Thanks.

OK thanks. If I end up buying the Mega, I will assist with doing the port.
Alas several interesting phones are going to be released mid-October so we'll see if I do buy one.

I am everywhere. I plan on having a Mega in a couple of weeks. ATT will not be able to turn me down. I will make them an offer they cant refuse. so I figure I will get to know the lay of the land. been freakishly boring over with the Note. im a little concerned.
trying to figure why XDA has not gotten an i527 dedicated forum going. I know it was requested shortly after release. I know its not rooted yet but it sure might eliminate any confusion as to firmware available. don't need bricks with i527 stamped on the side of it.
so just remember "vacuum cleaners suck" and "feelin 7-up makes your hands sticky"

Alright yes, I browsed through the forums before posting and yes I have read that you cannot root 13.3.2.1. However, I just bought my new Kindle, made sure it didn't update and it came with version 13.3.2.0. Is it possible to root this? I tried using the root in the developer forums but, as I expected before I tried anyway, it was for 13.3.1.0
Google sucks at searching version numbers and I only found some Chinese sites. I realize this will be an annoying, probably-answered-somewhere-that-I-couldn't-find question but is it possible to root 13.3.2.0?
No

Darn, looks like I got mine too late. All I wanted was Google Play. Oh well, it's a fantastic device and I'm sure the fantastic people working on it will figure a way to get root access back. Got my donation money ready.

Strange!! Eager to know why nobody cracked it yet...
still nothing for xt830c?
I would love to see this version of the phone opened up too!!!
I converted to ART and am seeing real storage problems...I do not have that many apps installed.
Include me on this list, I'd really like root for this device.
Mee tooo
Someone Get These Pricks!!!
I figured why not give calling em a shot. It was a thousand questions and then redirected to their security department then several more questions resulting in them saying "I'm sorry sir we do not even have a code to provide you and we do not allow or support device unlocking or rooting." I was like.. Byatch! What a mess! I should have researched this before buying... I looked it up, saw moto e was rootable and looked no further. Sucked in by the deal. Now I can't even return it. I've had it too long. I'm sure no one is even attempting it anymore. Think I might craigslist it for 40 and get me one to have a little fun with. Oh and not only that Tracfone has a site and under their name it says something like, when you have our phones you have the power. Ha! Straight talk just lost a long time customer. And this phone is just bloated out to the max with Google and Motorola CRAP! If someone out there in this mod world have this phone... Get it!!! Hit it hard! We can use this as a lab rat! I'm sure no one will buy it! Lol

So here's what I would believe, the CDMA version on straight talk is a cdma-v phone.. I assume that means its a Verizon phone, if I had a back up phone I'd be willing to try to root this one using the Verizon one click root app... Does anyone have any thoughts?
I would be willing to try it. Tried searching for it but couldnt find it. If you have link to the Verizon 1 click root app Ill try it asap. I just bought it and have a 30 day store warranty. I did try the LG Stump root 1.2 and did not work.

I will try it, I dont mind messing with my device, I can probably look at the apk as well and find the exploit to see what it is.
Look forward to hearing how it goes. Need this XT830C rooted. Never had a non rooted phone. What a big difference it makes and not for the good.

This is not the Verizon 1 click root as I was looking for the same but this is the Sprint/Verizon LG Stump root method I tried.
**This might be the 1 click root app. Doing a search on google keeps bringing this link up. Dont know for certain. Method did not work for me.

Is this the Version One Click root you were looking for? This is the updated version.
I found it via this article. Chrome detected the Verizon apk as a virus, but that's probably a false positive. The apk does come from XDA.
Blah blah blah, if you install that, I'm not responsible for nuclear war or bricked phones.
I'd try it tonight, but I need to be up for class/work tomorrow.
I don't have much to lose, although I do love this phone. Right now I use it as a server with VIM via Terminal IDE or as a web server with KSWEB. Although I recently converted an old 1.6GHz N270 Atom netbook to do the same thing, it's much louder and hotter, but way more powerful.
I'm just pissed what StraightTalk did to this phone. It's absolutely amazing, but those bastards had to ruin it.

Sorry man. As you can read other people posts. In reality. This watch is not worth doing anymore development on. I tried everything under the sun to get things done to it. So I went ahead and sold my zenwatch 2. And replaced with s2 watch. S2 watch is a way better device. Which I think it's only solid piece Sammy makes. Sorry to put everyone hopes up.

Then it might has something to do with your device since I dont have any issues.
But I have a question, I've found a reason to root, but just in case, do you know how I can make a system.img that I can flash in fastboot when something goes wrong?

I am happy with the gift I got for christmas, however im sure with root it would make it just a bit better before I can shell out 400 dollars for a new watch that looks better.
I know that there isnt kernel source, and that sucks. But I really am hoping that any other mods can work with it.

My watch has a bluetooth only connection inside my house at a distance of about 12 meters ... through walls.
Sounds interesting. Getting kinda tired of not having root or much development.. If u need help with testing , hmu. Thanks .
Hi everyone, I know that there hasn't really been much development for this phone, it really sucks, we've tried a few different things like adding a bounty or signing a petition... I think we need to take a new approach at getting this root method... The last developer who had our first root was great but if he isn't going to do it maybe we could convince and ask somebody else and tell them about our bounty? In this thread lets throw out ideas that we could do to get the root and twrp! So does anybody have any good ideas?
