Changing to my appreciation/donation fund. I know I'm new here, and want to contribute where I can. That being said I want to contribute to the Developer(s) that get the phone root for us. In appreciation.
I know I could wait for HTC (if they) unlock it. But let's face it, we want it now and who knows if/when HTC will come through.
Again this is to express appreciation to the dev's. And duce this will buy you a few gallons of haagen dazs
If I'm out of line here then a mod can delete this, otherwise I'll start by and will keep a tally updated:
w9sig - 25.00

Anyways, Bounties always help drive developers to root things faster, Sounds cool to me.
1: Wrong section (this itself isn't development)
2: Bounties suck. Give someone a few bucks for helping you out if they're working on it. Don't hold money over their heads and tell them they can only have it if they drop their lives to give the public something that they're working on in their spare time.
Personally I think bounties just tend to start fights about who contributed what... hard to pay a bounty when 3 or 5 or 10 people contributed.
That said... I won't stop you from trying...

No they don't we don't expect them to "drop there lives" its just a bounty to raise money for the devs to show our appreciation and to reaffirm that all their hardwork will pat off besides rooting the evo out me down for five bucks

My reasoning is the same as what Haus said. If you offer a bounty, people stop sharing information and try to get it done first and quickest because they know that only the person that gives the answer will get the money.
Example:
If I were to offer $500 to the first person to answer 50 specific questions... Do you think anyone would answer a post that said "Hey what's the answer to number 7?" Everyone would want to keep to themselves and not help anyone else.
Obviously this is different, but that's a more extreme idea to get the point out there.
If you feel like someone is working hard, or has worked hard... Donate a few dollars to them to give them something for their time. I really don't like the idea of bounties because it then puts pressure on people to keep going and ignore other things, as only one person will get the big bounty (if people actually even pay what they said they would).
Holy... I think I just saw Stericson. This phone is bringing people from everywhere!
BANG! from my shooter...

fair enough, you got me lol down with this fund
Of course I'm not opposed to giving some loot to those that deserve it though. I need to talk to the wife to decide how much I can give up to Haus (and probably others, he isn't the only one I've taken notice of) for his work. I'm sure we'll get root soon, so I'm not worried about forking over some money now to let him know I appreciate the hard work.
I'm pretty sure we didn't need a bounty for this phone to get rooted.

Yea, I got a 3D

Anywhozle please state your donation and stay true to it, anything will help.... he said himself he will try to work on it.

Since this thread has apparently been relocated, and the issues I raised with the original approach the OP took have been fixed, I can confirm that any donations going through the chipin link in the original posters post are indeed being directed at me for the purposes of raising funds to acquire an Evo 3D.
If the community sees fit to buy me the phone, I will be happy to develop for it, but I will not promise unrealistic miracles.
I can't promise that you'll suddenly win the lottery, or have better luck in life.
I can promise that any android device I own will get development time from me (yes that includes kernel development).
You should not feel obligated in any way to participate. The fact is, even if I don't get the phone, there is inevitably going to be a strong development community behind this phone. A good portion of teamwin have the phone, and given the strong sales it's a safe bet that there will be many other developers as well. Any participation in the OP fundraiser should be considered completely voluntary; I will not solicit anyone in this regard.

The way you've got this at the moment does not look particularly good; there's no way for anyone to know what the total raised is, etc.
Also, this is probably in the wrong forum.

Netarchy do you even want the 3D?
If you do then awesome and can't wait.
Why $549? you can get them new for $450 off CL or from me or from ebay so why $549?
What's with all the hate for this idea?
Net is one of my favorite developers and I can only WISH he would join the 3D family.
And how is this against the rules? This is done in every other phone section.. whats wrong with being here??
This forum is getting duller by the post.

I do not care if they do this i just see no reason to raise $549.00 when you can get the same thing for $400 to $450 elsewhere.
The op just did it wrong i think is why many are upset because no way to track how much and my reason why $549? that is sprints over priced price not what you can get them for.
Id use 1 of my upgrades and sell it for $425 bingo saved 100$ already.See what i mean by the op? he just did it wrong is all.

I admit that I groaned when I saw this thread but I have to say that I applaud the idea. Maybe a better method could be suggested? I have no idea what that is though. I know this has been done in the past but, to be honest, I've never paid much attention to "donation" threads.
I would be happy to donate $$ to get netarchy this phone. Not just to get him to root it, but for all he's given to this community!
sent my $5. i know it isnt much, but every lil bit helps
wait would he be coming over from Verizon? sprint gives 125 for jumping carriers and the 3VO is only 200 on new plans...they might even buy his old/other phone from him....im not sure if they will from another carrier but they bought my evo 4g back from me for 150. Phone only cost me 50 bucks.

I'd do $25, then another $25 upon completion. Problem Is we would need to raise enough money for whichever Developer to buy a Jetstream to build with.
i know. i'm hoping one of the dev's already owning the jetstream (i think there's one or two other than task650) will keep it up..
if not - maybe we could get enough money to buy one..they are cheaper than they used to be

I brought it up to Newtoroot from mikmik, he said for it to be done he'd need the device. He's done amazing work over the years, recently he recoded the ril from the one x to bring sense 4 ICS for the the reZound.
i think there's an opportunity here.
if we could get enough money, and one of the members here would like to sell his device, maybe we can buy a device for development.
meanwhile we must wait for the bounty to grow..

Yes. Agreed. Please guys pool in. Even if we don't get a member to sell the device, I think a new one would be like $550 or something with contract. Let's see. Hopefully Russ's contact also comes through. He will post details himself once any news available.

I would consider selling mine at a discount to a developer or trade for a thinkpad. Otherwise I would be willing to contribute to the bounty. IDK, it depends if anyone really thinks they can do it, but I've lost faith in HTC and hope in XDA.
They are selling refurbs outright for 350 on atts site right now

I've got a little bit of experience with compiling Cyanogen. Work is crazy-busy for me lately, so I'm not sure when I'll have time to work on it, but I will do whatever I can to get this working.
I'm not much of a developer, so any help I can get will be appreciated. We'll need to look for other devices already running ICS that have similar hardware.
Like I said, work's crazy busy, so right now I don't have much time to hunt for this info.
However, I may be able to use the HP Touchpad (which I also have, running CM9) as a starting point. The Jetstream has a Qualcomm MSM8260 CPU, where the TP is using a MSM8060. They're similar, yet obviously not identical CPUs.
We'll also need to figure out the other hardware, like what display, touchscreen, wifi, etc. hardware the Jetstream is using.
With any luck, we'll get something. It sucks that Honeycomb is closed source. That'll make things a little bit harder. At least the kernel's open source still.
I'm going to post this over in the Dev section, for anyone who wants to help with data mining.
Oh, and I don't want the bounty. Just getting ICS on this device would be enough reward for me.

Doubtful. Like I said, I'm not a super-dev or anything, and things like bypassing/decrypting security are beyond me.
There's a couple people over in the Development forum who are buzzing about this. Apparently there *may* be an HTC dev willing to help out, if I understood correctly.
Let's push this!
this needs to get more attention. Otherwise it's just going to die off, I think for a developer to be truly interested we need more then $300, because building ICS for this device won't be easy. I know task has tried before and he said that he could not get it to work but I'm not sure how much time he had to play around with it since his daughter is sick. Maybe we can reach out to some tech media like Engadet, Boy Genius Report, or Tom's Hardware or even contact XDA and see if they can make a post about this on the portal homepage and really it this idea put there. I'm pretty sure that the jetstream has a bigger community then this just they might not know about xda...
its a matter of time, mainly.
this forum was never alive for more than a few days in a row..
people doesnt come here to often. we need to try and wait, and keep the posts going.
also - if someone feels the sums are too high, any contribution will count! even 5-10 dollars from a few people could make a change.
in the event of this not working, try signing my petition here, http://www.thepetitionsite.com/480/...ew-jetstream-jetstream-4g-android-40-upgrade/
What is the most insulting about the whole process is that HTC is discontinuing support (which is the only way to describe not updating software even a few months after release) and still insistent on keeping the device locked down for "user experience". I mean they could almost get XDA devs to do the support for free if they weren't so possessive about the device after the POS. Fingers crossed on that contact pulling through.
What an Incredible job guys! (pun intended) lolwe got this in under 4 hours!

okay guys, the paypal some of you are still not sending as goods, so we should be at $125 in my paypal and we're at "PayPal balance: $119.86 USD"
not a big deal, we just may need an extra donation to make up for what pay pal has taken out.
5/10 ppl have donated already, + mine, I'll throw in some more if I can. I'm very limited on funds as I'm sure most of you are as well, times are real tough, so thank you guys again so much.
I have every e-mail from paypal and all the records in case we don't make it.. but I am confident that we are going to reach our goal.

I have no idea what S-OFF or AOSP is, something to do with flashing custom radios... Will donating to this phone help to get root for all those who weren't as lucky (as myself) to get unlocked before the lockdown?
I'll donate $20.

yes this will get you FULL root though
s-off gives you the full ability of root and makes thing 10x easier.
without s-off we need to flash kernels separate from the ROM and a bunch of other annoyingness.
your $20 would be greatly appreciated and would go to great cause, we are so close!
it is definitely worth it, it will greatly help this community.
I'll mark you down in the OP!
only $45 more!!!
OK I am receiving a di4g today to replace my stratosphere which whent belly up. it is like new replacement
so I am confused. I see roms but i see things in the forum like "NO ROOT YET" so which is it.
I chose this over the nexus because I wanted a global phone and the repo told me it would be a global phone.
so I assume that it will have the update "yes?"
is that why there is no root yet.. ie the old one had a root the update does not.
can someone explain in nutshell the 'state of the phone'
Had root. Root go away. Root coming back soon.

Aptly put.
Also, the newest update allows our phone to be a used globally, but it didn't take away root, Verizon stopped allowing our phone to be unlocked via HTCDev a week after it came out. We're about to have S-OFF, which will re-enable root.
The first few weeks htc dev site allowed people to unlock their phones and install a recovery and roms. After that it was disabled and the reason is up for debate still. Recently an exploit has been found and root was achieved. Now people are just waiting on the tool to be released by that dev team that allows s off and root.

ok so to whom do I donate to get the tool 'appreciated'
when I orders the phone i saw that it was rooted. an unrooted phone seems just awful. but i can us it that way for a while.
if it too long I will send it back and get a galaxy nexus, and forgo global and the ability to use my sd card

Please wait patiently...
others have been waiting for a while now, and not too mention this phone is basically Verizon's dead horse, so we are VERY lucky that I was able to even get the team to put in their free time to get the tool made.
They are making the tool. Root IS confirmed along with S-OFF.
ONCE the tool is SAFE, then they will release. THEN you can donate to their team, they specifically ask that you DO NOT donate until the tool IS released.
They are doing this on their free time for a phone they do not own.
I spent about 8+ hours total of my time as well with the team letting them remote access straight into the phone thanks to a root exploit found in the new 2.17xxx OTA update found by superdave, that I passed on to the team which they then were able to successfully attain S-OFF, on two Incredible 4G phones, one completely stock like yours, and one that was previously rooted by HTCDev unlock tool before that option got taken away.
The only thing you can do is to please wait patiently, and when the tool is released, please donate to them then. If you want to trade up for a Galaxy Nexus if the tool isn't released quick enough for you that's your choice, this is a great community though and we'd love to have you stay with us.
Thank you,
Andy.

andybones needs credit for raising the funds for a test phone then working with the group that will deliver S-OFF, helping nitsuj17 with 2 amazing ROMs, and patiently responding to everyone's questions. i'm not saying that we shouldn't donate to the S-OFF group, but andybones doesn't take credit, but credit is due.

"Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day" = lol or I'd give a proper "thanks"
Very much appreciated guys!
I only helped Nit with 1 ROM though and he did the majority of the work, and 100% of the next update on the new base thus far (he is killin it! and is a true pleasure for me to be able to work with.) so I can't take too much credit there, but I do appreciated the acknowledgment, you guys donated just as much as I did, I just spent the time with the guys, having a community as awesome and understanding as this one is like a once in a decade kinda thing :good:
It's hurting me just as badly not having the S-OFF tool out, I can't wait for everyone to be able to use their phone the way it's intended to be used..
the way you want it to be!!
I'm also very thankful to superdave for recognizing that the new RUU has an old exploit and the unlimited.io team are simply amazing people, as soon as I mentioned the exploit I asked them if it's something they could work with or had the time to check out, and without a pause they replied to install the RUU, and come back tmw (since they are in wayy tiff diff zone than myself) and the next 4 days straight the worked with me and are such nice people to work with and all the hours made it worth it looking down to see S-OFF, and knowing that what could have been a failed phone be what it deserves to be.

I think my tone was taken the wrong way. by appreciated I meant I want to donate because I appreciate the work of devs.
i am patient and not trying to rush. I know not to ask for eta's (inst that rule 1) rule 2 is donate, rule 3 is always supply a log cats
o and this is less of a red headed step child than the stratosphere. (can't even get a forum on xda)

I have been on xda for a while now always helping when I could.
I actually think this phone is a better fit for me (global) , better camera and an removable storage and I am able to be patient. I was just confused when I saw roms and then saw posts saying no root yet. also I have not been pleased with my Samsung phone in the past. they feel cheap. i thought I would try the htc.
why can't all phone feel like the palm treos. nice small heavy
treo
