Whoa, guy, take it easy - you'll blow an o-ring
Why are you posting this twice?
And why are you asking for 50 responses to this thread to release the code? LMAO. You dont have some classified information - the code is freely available - just google it
Ya I just did a google search for Skyfire Beta Code and guess what? Code easily found. Thanks for the tips to search there!
WHY is anyone using skyfire? It's a portal site that simply reformats to fit your screen. Sure, it's "free" now, until the beta ends.

I love it... I don't normally use it, but I love being able to. Some sites are much easier to use with it. Not to mention that there are a few flash sites that I like to load on it (for the audio).
Would I pay for it? probably not.... at least, not much. But I have no problems using it while its still free.

I'm using iris..
Iris seems to be a good browser to me when IE won't cut the mustard. Based on the iPhone browser's engine. and free.

Hey!
I found a website where you can get 7% cashback for free on all orders on aliexpress! And if you register from this link: <mod edit: link removed>
you will also get $10 extra for cashout, I used this too when I ordered my xiaomi phone and it's not scam, but you have to wait a few days before you will get that money.
Happy shopping!

Nothing so far but they said to wait a week before contacting them about it so maybe it will come through but I doubt it.
I forgot about this until today, logged in and had a look and now I had 33.70 dollars available for payout! I chose payout to PayPal so in 2-3 days we'll see if everything worked out!
Edit: Got the money in my bank account now

According to Peter Shih's linked in profile, he is the head of Community at ZTE, the forum people write in to. Let's hope that this head forum moderator has some pull to influence policy at ZTE back in China, where company policy originates from. Let's hope.

If your worrying about the bootloader I think its gonna be unlocked. Peter said all the CSRs who said bootloader cannot be unlocked are wrong and indirectly confirmed there will be one so don't fret too much about that, hope there also going to be a big bug fixing update right before the grey release, would be awesome.

The VP of Engineering was also on the webinar when they were saying more of "when than if". The forum people might not have tons of pull, but he would.

To the contrary, I sincerely doubt a forum moderator has any "influence". He is just paid to communicate and tally ZTE's marketing/PR spins. At best he can go through the motions.

I have posted letters from ZTE.com.cn (ZTE China) that they do not unlock bootloaders and would not be unlocking the bootloader for the Axon 7, ZTE USA messaged me and stated that ZTE China does not speak for them and that ZTE USA was planning a big anouncement, once again dancing around the issue of unlocking the bootloader. After that response I posed the question, if they unlock the USA's bootloaders, what about the UK, EU,India or China and the rest of the world, since ZTE USA does not speak for them. I was then referred to their manager who wrote me yesterday repeating the same line. Here is his letter to me.
Dear Mr _____,
We thank you again for your purchase of the Axon 7 by ZTE. This is a follow up email to clarify misinformation you received yesterday regarding the unlocking of the Bootloader. Plans are in place to enable this function in the very near future. More information can be found at https://community.zteusa.com/welcome. We greatly apologize for the misinformation and any confusion it caused. We thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Unlocking the bootloader is something that must be addressed by the parent company and have a unified response globally. ZTE USA does not deal with global issues, only local ones pertinent to their region. But they keep stringing us along with this big announcement. Is this to prevent people from returning their devices? Are we being played? Sure sounds like it.
And...unlocked.

It'll be nice once the first person does it and posts back as to what the process actually is.
Here's hoping this leads to some development on the Axon 7. Maybe we can skip the whole unlocked bootloader thing with an exploit of some kind and go straight to TWRP and root

MTCB/C/D 2GB RAM Group Buy #2

First, this not to compete with the original thread - just to make it a bit easier
Anyone interested in being involved in a group buy please post in this thread.
Chips will be USD 22.00 a piece - that already includes inbound shipping. Shipping will be out of the US (Colorado)
Shipping to you, please go to one of the US shippers and figure out yourself how fast you want the shipment .. aka how much do you want to spend in shipping.
US shippers: USPS.com, UPS.com or FedEx.com ... USPS letter 1st class worldwide is the least expensive, normally takes 7-10 days, costs about USD 2.00 - but is not trackable
I will "pull the trigger", close this thread on December 10th. Then enough time is left to get shipment out before Christmas.
To make the group buy work, we need to be at least 10 participants
Oskar
Shipping update:
worldwide shipping can be done by postal service as registered letter - that is full trackable. Total shipping cost $ 20.00

I'm in for one set. Here's hoping I don't brick the thing.
Yes Please! Put me down for one.
I am in for two sets
I'm also willing to participate but can't find any clear pictures on the forum to show my soldering guy and ask if he can fit it.
Can someone please give me a few pic's of the replacement of MTCD units? The module itself and where it must be soldered.
Sorry, guys but scrolled through all the pages...
Hello,
Unfortunately, due to some personal problems, i cannot participate anymore, please remove me from the list.
Thank you and good luck with the group buy !
Hi, on second thought, after looking into the SMD work required, please strike me from the list. I am not confident that I can perform the work and I do not know of anyone near me that can do it.
Can someone please give me some clear pictures of the work on a MTCD, I realy need to ask my friend if he can do the job before ordering.
