Root Dev Needed... 2.1 Running on the Behold 2

I wonder if Eugene would be willing to work on the BH2 if monetary compensation were a factor. I mean, he's been doing all this work with nothing in return on his own time. For me, I would definitely be willing to remunerate him if 2.x is to be actualized on this phone because I won't be getting an upgrade for quite a while, nor do I need one. What do you guys think?

I think he has already mentioned this earlier in this topic. Pretty much he said no. I'm sure the reason being that when he gets paid people are even more anxious for positive results. If it's impossible to deliver on, then people who invested in him will want to be compensated back or take actions that aren't exactly favorable to him in the long run. There is a lot less stress and responsibility if he doesn't have a boss leaning over his should (although some people around here act like it already)

Whatever happened to this genius? I guess if he ever shows up again, one of us could ship him our phone. Obviously at risk of losing the phone, but if Eugene isn't accepting donations (and I don't blame him) and we've reached a blind alley yet again, then it's at least a faint ray of hope. Those of you who want to pitch your BH2 can instead send it to Seattle.

I have a group of people that are wanting to make the behold 2 the way it always should have been. We however need the phone in order to accomplish this.

somebody can help to root my samsung behold 2
Sorry for my english

check the all things root or general or the sticky, there are posts somewhere on how to do it. This thread is getting way off topic as it is.

Please keep posts to something other than ":) yeah" that could actually help with the project.

For those not follwing BHMan's twitter he has a new recovery that uses ext4 and is working on other bh2 stuff, so be patient and good things will come.

New Recovery & Kernel are done... I'll try to get them Uploaded tonight with the New Cookie Cutter Rom for everyone :)

Once You install the new Recovery.. You will need to Format Data / Cache / System & SD-ext...

Both recovery & Kernel will be included as an ODIN, why ODIN?>

We can Write to the Recovery without it, but not the kernel :(

After which you will need to install the stripped down Cookie Cutter Rom...

All Rom Dev. will have to use the Updated CookieCutter Layout due to the Recovery based off CwM Recovery 3.x.x.x Designed for Ginger...

From here I'll be working the 2.2.1 Rom again, since I think I finally got what I needed to fix sound issue's...

Thanks,
~Eugene

There, now that all those ridiculous posts have already been made no need to keep making them! If you aren't helping the process, just sit and wait (behold users should be used to this by now). Your excitement doesn't make the project move faster. Many people made this point nicely already but some people don't seem to get it.

Lmao! Why don't stay your excitement til something actually happens? This thread has hundreds of "can't wait", "so excited", "thanks so much", "this is great", posts over the past YEAR that this thread has been active, and yet there hasn't been a 2.x release at all besides the broken one! There is no reason to think its actually coming this time, and history says it isn't coming at all. But, since some people will buy anything that's sold to them...i got a bridge in london to sell ya.
