Good idea... I'm in for $75 via Pay Pal. I'd even be willing to pre-pay it to a known HTC dev like Newt, ihtfp, JoelZ, tiny, NilsP, etc. so that they can buy one.
Okay....I'm in.
$75

Thank you,
Dovid
I am in for $100. Hope an industrious dev picks this up!
Ok, I really want this rooted. I'll do up to 100$. I want to be able to watch HULU and get ICS in the future. Really bummed that this awesome tablet hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. Is there any news on S-Off development to this point?
Also, what would happen if HTCDEV.com unlocked the bootloader. Would that increase the progress towards S-Off tremendously?
Just trying to understand.
wow. no development over here in the jetstream threads.

Getting help...
Hello Jetstream family!!
I just bought my tablet this weekend!!
I was checking that we are very alone on this part of the XDA Forums and since I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab I talked to one of the best developers (Task650) over there and he told me he is going to see if he can help us here!!
Hope he can so we can have ROOT on this excellent tablet!
Also count me in with $ 70!!
I am beginnig to se a little light at the end of the tunnel
Oooh! Task650 does nice work for the Samsung Galaxy Tab! That would be great! He has a respect for the HTC look.....Running his Paris ROM and HTC Jetstream theme on my Samsung Tablet
I check the Jetstream forum almost daily.
*sad face* for little to no news on it's developments. =(
Luckily, I find much use in it unrooted anyway. Just a luxury to have root
Excellent news!!
I've talked to Task650, he is a very well recognized developer and one of the best at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 forums and he is willing to help us Root our tablet!!
@mattyass can you PM Task so he can confirm with you where to send the device so he can start doing test and development?
@task650, thanks again, I am sure with your help will have a rooted tab!
This is a good day..

no problem bro. i couldnt stand owning a device without having root permissions. wouldnt even be worth it to me.
Here's my conditions of taking on this device.
1.) I need to have some time without being pestered for an ETA (it just makes things really stressful). I usually work relatively fast anyways. lol.
2.) If for some reason I can't get it rooted (which I highly doubt will happen) I will want to send the device back to the original sender without any issues or hard feelings.
3.) Once its rooted I want you all to have some fun with it!!!
Thanks Task!
Your conditions sounds more than perfect!
How shall I give my pledged 100$ when this happens?

Yeah... it's killing me. I was lucky that my company bought it for me, but I am really having a hard time. I have had an HTC Incredible since day one and have had it rooted since before unrevoked. I know what we're missing! That and a killer dev community are why i'm still not in any hurry to get a new phone.
Good luck and let us know if there anything we can do. I would be more than happy to test for you too. Cheers! --Josh
i just talked to mattyass and he said he is going to ship me the Jetstream out on Monday.
not trying to be a pain or anything, but what are the chances of you creating a proper ROM for the device after rooting it..?
its just that i don't think anyone else could do it.. you see how small the community is.
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

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

I see other carriers have been able to gain root access. I am wondering if anyone is working in a root?? Would love to donate for a root + wifi tether abilty (heck, even just root). Maybe us Sprint users can get a "bounty" going. I cant be the only one wanting root access and to able to take advantage of thesr amazing Spark speeds.
From what I know the reason sprint doesn't have root with the others is because it was given an update the other carriers never implanted.

LG won't be unlocking the bootloader anytime soon. Go read the thread in the main G3 forum for the discussion.
MY understanding is that the reason the LS990 doesn't take the same root exploit as the other variants is that the directory structure is different so the vulnerability doesn't exist as it does on the others. Whether that is due to an update (that must have happened at manufacture as it was different on launch day) I can't say. And there may be other reasons, but that is the one I know about.
There is at least one method that is pending release, but the most optimistic date we have is mid-August, and my guess is even later owing to some bad eggs stirring the pot.
The answer to this question, every time somebody starts a thread like this, is WE DON'T KNOW when we'll get root, but we PROBABLY will and all we can do is WAIT. It's not for lack of interest that we're stuck waiting, so pounding on the door won't get it open any sooner.
Final thought: This forum will explode with threads all saying the same thing when a method is released, so you won't miss it.

I heard it was out already, but it's just not being posted here for everyone else. There was a guy with a Craigslist ad in PA that was offering to root ZV4 for $50, but of course you have to meet him as he doesn't do it remotely. Jcase confirmed that he was legit in another thread.

There is more to the work of releasing a root then being stingy. If people like you keep trying to turn it around like you are entitled to the work of others, it will only keep you waiting longer. So Stop it!
There are a ton of reasons not to release it even if Root is possible, the actual process of Rooting the device may be a technical process that 90% of users would screw up and end up blaming the creator for.

First, I don't think I am entitled to anything. I am just making it known that it is available and has been confirmed available, but someone is holding out. Nowhere did I say something like "give it to me now or else" or anything of the sort. I was just making it known and yes, I am waiting patiently like everyone else.

I didn't find him, somebody else posted about him, I just contacted him to get info. Honestly, I wouldn't pay 50 bucks even if I was local to him, I don't have that kind of money to spend on something like that, but he seemed genuine in his goals and his reasoning.
Anyway, the point is, let's not get at each other about being patient or acting entitled or whatever. We're all in the same boat. We're all waiting patiently (or impatiently, but it makes no difference). We can't sweet talk the devs who have the means and the knowledge, and we certainly can't manipulate or intimidate them into moving any more quickly than they wish. Heck, jcase is in Vegas with his family and was laid up with a fever and a sore throat to boot, and he's still been working (on other devices, but still). He's not just sitting at his desk reading these threads with his fingers tented and an evil grin. It's just not at the top of anybody's to-do list. We just have to trust that it's moving up every day.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is. Internet drama is going to happen, period. This is about something far more important - the ability to supersede the blocks put in place by the mobile carriers and phone manufacturers.

Yes, that was the original bounty thread. My understanding is the OP on the above thread released some very rough code from the devs and a few people bricked their phones and got upset. The OP defended himself by saying the code was publicly available to share. Personally I think it's very unwise to try out code in prod until it's been tested extensively first, obv, but what I don't get is why the project was halted based on the actions of a few dummies.
Ah yeah I noticed it was from a while ago. I'm super upset about that, I absolutely am hating this phone without root. Honestly. I want to go back to my G3.
I really dont know why there isn't devopment for the G5. Reaally good phone but without root, I'm thinking of chaging to S7.
You should. I'm not too hopeful about things now. Nothing is happening.

I like to have AdAway, Folder Mount, Quick Boot, and Xprivacy, which need root.
The lack of root is the only thing keeping me from getting this with the Best Buy deal
Best buy deal was too good to pass up and I got one for a family member coming from an ancient Galaxy S3. Really hoping we see root.
Glad I'm not the only one. I traded in for the V20 but it has to be shipped first and I'd much rather keep the G6.. Awesome phone.

I don't know what changed. It seems like there's a new push to lock down Android, it might have to do with Android Pay. It's really a shame. I don't understand the lack of people looking for exploits. Maybe they just aren't posting about it like they used to.

Google has created nearly as much of a "walled-garden" as Apple have. Clearly the "security" concerns of the extreme few have caused quite a panic and nearly all of the major manufacturers have locked down their bootloaders and exploits are being punished legally in some cases. Crazy considering it is all based around "open source" code.
VZW is by far the worse offender and I am only on their network because the others all suck in my area. Not that it matters anymore since practically none of them have rootable devices. Unfortunately the best bet this year is the headphone jackless HTC U11 for a whopping $650 for the unlocked, bootloader mod-allowed version.
Has any one tried Kingo Root?
https://www.kingoapp.com/bootloader-unlock/how-to-unlock-lg-bootloader-on-android-device.htm
I may look into it later this week. I have a few things to try.
What a shame. This phone is fantastic, the LG V20 just showed up for me to pick up and I find myself reluctant to pick it up. I know it has root, as I roofed it for my boyfriend, after extreme difficulty it worked but all the custom ROMs for it made it where he can't receive texts or calls. Haven't gone looking for the fix yet. I may wait.
Crossing my fingers at the above post. You'd be my saving Grace. (;
---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------
Oh and for KingORoot, you need to ask for the OEM unlock code through LG but this phone isn't apart of their available devices. Exploit please!
I fixed his V20, now is rooted with custom ROM and calling and text officially work. Is it enough for me to give up my G6 for root? Still reluctant. Yes, that's how good it is.
Autoprime just posted in the main G6 dev area, it sounds like he is doing a bit of poking at the platform.
It doesn't directly help vs988, but any sign of an experienced developer working the G6 is great.
