hi raskal,
please add it to xtc clip if you can. that woud be a big step for me as a dev and to everyone who has a clip or know where to get clip service.
i´m nearly done with the flyer and want to give it back, cause google and htc wont keep there promisse to update the device as fast as possible to android 3.0.
with root and s-off it is a step near to get this before a possible or unpossible update will show up.
if you need something from the rom dump or else feel free to write me a pm.
i will keep the flyer until monday or tuesday. than i have to give it back, cause of 14 days test period. after that i have to see if i order it again or wait until those big buts will find a conclusion with those 7" devices and honeycomb.
but if you will support it with you xtc clip i will keep it and start developing and rom cooking for the device. else it will go back to o2 and i will wait for HTC´S 10.1" device or something else.
regards
I'm not sure what the clip is all about but I will definitly donate to anyone that gets root on the flyer.

I am in for a donation as well.
50 $ from me as well
As the Hebrew RTL as always does not work well without running the HebFix file, I have not much to do with this Break I have bout last week.
The HebFix must have Root.... To Run.
There is already a post like this ... but i would donate a 50 too!
Kris
I'm in for $20.
I do not know how the donations/bounties work. I would be happy to add $20 for the root. I am getting the feeling that the XDA community is the only thing that can save the flyer.
20-50 euro
Clount me for the amount above-mentioned. The flyer must be able to make calls using the phone sim. I have an hearing problem and i want to use it connected via bt and my hearingequipment boosters. It is not doable to connect 2 devices 1 for phone and 1 for multimedia.
The battle can begin...
Okay, I bought my Flyer today and the battle can begin, also I hope that I am to late because I haven't the time.
But I think that I have enough knowledge and experience to got the Flyer rooted. This mean that at the end of summer we have root rights or it will not be possible
But I hope that someone will be faster because I will not be the only dev for the flyer and I have not so much time... also summer begins.

Thank you! I hope other devs will take you up on your challenge. No matter who finishes first, you deserve a special thanks for starting first! I love my flyer and having it rooted will be excellent.
BTW, what are the first things I should start learning if I want to be able to do work like this in the future?

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.

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!

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.

MOD EDIT: BOUNTY WAS ACHIEVED AND DEVICE WAS PURCHASED
Here it is folks, the much requested bounty thread to get an amaze for Mr NRGZ28. "Who is that?" you ask, "and why should I care?" you add to your original question, causing this uncomfortably complicated sentence. Well I'm semi glad you asked! He's a totally stand up dude who sometimes also likes to sit, who has been devving for like, ever. I heard he started out on the telettrofono (look it up), and is known accross the west coast as the Rom whisperer (true story). He's currently running a sensation and making it live up to its name, but we'd like him to move up to an Amaze and work his magic. So we're chipping in to help. Here's his profie
NRGZ28
so you can stalk him. There you'll see super handy donate to me link which is like the best way possible to donate to him. So lets get going!
*IMPORTANT*
Make sure you add a note saying "for the amaze" to the donation, so he can keep track. I'll keep the thread updated with running totals when he gives them to me.
Disclaimers
So giving your money to a dev is like totally giving money away. Its gone. We hope it'll result in an amaze which will then result in awesome roms for the amaze, but no guarantees.

I won't be giving any money. He never offers ANY type of support. People ask for help with his ROMs but he never replies. There are better Devs if you want to give your money to someone.

.. or you could look at a thread where he has the phone and is actively devving, and see all the loyal followers talking about how many phones he's improved for them, and how few people have problems anyway, and haveplenty of support from the dev and all the very experienced users in the thread.
but in any case the thread is for people to donate, peeps who are not interested can kindly spend time elsewhere
Would love to donate when i get money. A extra dev would be lovely right now, been following the energy ROMs for a long while. Anyone know if eVil still devs on HTC devices? used to see him back in the mytouch days and he was a great one.. havent seen him around since the mytouch 3g slide or 4g (i think)

That's not very nice... I don't support the ROM actively because I don't own an Amaze (obviously) and therefore I can't exactly troubleshoot problems with it. This is the reason bobbie started this thread. I support all my other threads quite a lot. But like he said.. if you don't like it, don't crap on someone else's party. It's just not nice.

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.
It looks like we could loose a good developer to a Samsung phone (plasticly! ick!) in the near future, so I suggest anyone with a real desire to see a clean senseless version of ICS on this beast of a phone consider getting on board with this effort.
http://amaze.sandvold.as/
I'm not associated with this in any way other than being a user of the Amaze. I also know Sandvold's work from the HTC Desire, and they have some pretty good stuff running on some pretty limited hardware.
(For those unfamiliar, this started playing out on page 56 of the CM9 thread)
Edit: Said defecting-to-Samsung developer that I mentioned in the first sentence has since stated that he's sticking around for awhile.

Bump.
So there's no one else?
I remember earlier this year during a time of rapid development when the internal memory quit on his Desire. After letting everyone know that he tried and failed to revive the device, he checked in once more before going to bed to say he'd figure out what next to do tomorrow. We rallied and in the morning he had more than enough money for a replacement.
It was nice to see everyone come thru with a few bucks each and post in the thread all-of-a-sudden with a rapid succession of donations, willing that development not stop.
But that was the Desire. I'm guessing the user base was larger... but more active? It seems like there's only 3 of us here - passing the ball back and fourth. <shrug>
Anyone else wanna jump in here and prove me wrong with a donation? $10? $5? 2?!! :angel:
I'm hoping that more people will to Sandvold! I want to see development kick off on this device!
It says ending July 15th, but imho, should leave it up longer. Maybe even through the end of the year; hopefully people will get it for Christmas especially since the contract price will have dropped by then.
I understand what you mean, but I'd think he'd be moved on to another device before then.
I'm not aware of who made the two other donations, but I'll get it rolling ala Feb...

Edit: I guess the easiest way to say it, if there are gonna be bounty or donate threads, I'd want to see the potential developer themselves say things to convince me of their awesomeness and desire to contribute.
Development does not make the device, I hope you guys know that.. outside of efforts to get things like CM9 and other true custom firmware, I'm not sure what people want. I don't think we need more developers unless they can contribute to those efforts.. or is that what this dev you want would bring to the table, and somehow I missed it?
I for one know that a GOOD developer can make plenty of contributions as long as they have a supply of willing testers, and if they could help make headway on any of the projects already going on - THEN I might be willing to throw a few dollars their way.. but I(and I think others) think that funds are too tight to share without more certain contributions..
We can't bribe a developer to come made solid contributions if they have no excitement for the device itself - unless they really WANT to contribute, if they have other projects going on, ours is always going to be a lower priority.
I hear what you're saying, and I agree. Personally I saw what was done with the Desire, and I think that my few dollars are well spent here. I'm hoping for more than Sense to pick from, and I think others feel that way too.

Hi
so, we've got a proven developer, show-p1984, willing to help us get this device to the modern age.
all we need now is to get him a device.
our guy lives in Germany, so if there's a European user wanting to Part with his device - Let us know please!
if there isn't: we need to put the money together and get him a device.
the cheapest ebay device i've seen is 249$. to which we'll have to add 20% tax in Germany. this will get us to about 300$.
it seems to have free shipping.
all of us willing to put the money upfront - this is the current division between us:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkSenxSHUyy_dHZvSUhZbjczSk55bkEyd1dfYnBYNVE
i opened a Paypal account for this purpose. i will share the account Password with another forum member, for control purposes.
the shortest way to go is using the "Donate to me button" of my user. this will take you to donate to a user called "xda.jetstream".
the faster we all get the money in, the faster we'll get jb..
thanks.
3rd HUGE donation...3-4 more people and we're on our way!
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
You can get a brand new jetsream at all4cellular with the coupon code "A4C20" for $200!
this is what you call "too little too late"
the operation is finished and the device is on his way to our guy. usps are taking their sweet time on it..
I am sorry I missed this operation, but to provide an added incentive to the dev, I will be offering a $100 tip as soon a ROM the community is happy with is ready.
I will gladly pledge $ upon evidence of development.
I hope this isn't another project that gets dropped.
if everything goes as planned - we should be ok.
the device is still on its way to show_p1984. its super annoying, but DHL are the problem now...
show_p1984 gave me his word that in case he should fail, or something like that he will send the device to another developer, of our choice. all we got is his word, but i trust him and keeping in touch with him.
Update:
the device made it to our guy last week, after about 3 weeks of shipment.
unfortunately he got damaged during the shipment, and we're trying to get at least a partial refund. the damage is cosmetic and won't disturb with the developing, probably.
show_p1984 had some time to play with the device and decided that the most important thing required is JB. not the storage bug, not a proper 3.1 rom..he's going straight for JB ROM. this could take a while, i'll update here when something will happen.
thanks again to all the donators.

1 person can apparently do this.
But HTC won't pay their development team to update the ROM.
WTH.

That's awesome news!
Do you know if s-off will be required for the jb Rom?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
no idea yet.
also, jmztaylor got to pretty much the same point (working separately) trying to boot cm10.
so, we got two guys on our side

Glad to see that things are moving quickly.
Once we have a method for getting JB on to the Jetstream, will the developer produce a comprehensive how-to guide for all of us who have no experience with roms, rooting, etc.?
probably. if not them, the reset of the forum.
i have a feeling once proper ROM will available, more users will get here.

showp said that you would at least need the HTC unlock 's-off wanna be' he called it. i think he's referring to the bootloader. best way to find out is to wait and see..
Showp just tweeted me:
I have a Jetstream and already got JB booting. gfx support is nearly done, some other small stuff is missing but it's getting there

and:
4.2.1, working: display, touchscreen, gfx partially. Not working: Nearly everything else.

I am working on my rom, the base was pure aosp, but I am thinking of moving over to cm.

Anfd lastly:
Well I won't dev on sense (zip hacking... brrr...), but my kernel should do that too (except wifi/bt/usb as usual)

As I see it -> we should get a (great) sense dev onboard.
Because as far as I know, the stylus is involved with sense!
Now I must give props to Showp (aka, Dennis) He is REALY doing GREAT work here!
Thanks for everythign Dennis, and when you release your work, a donation will be coming your way!
The stylus support possible without sense assuming that the stylus component is the same as that of flyer. They have got it working on aosp roms as well...

That is very great news indeed!
We still need to get a great developer on board, because as good as ShowP is with kernels, he is not a very good rom dev, I mean yes he can, but it will take a LOT of time for him, which I think is unnecessary.
chaos-z from the flyer forum once suggested helping..and i think some of the others here could probably port roms since its far easier than kernel development.
and finally, jmztaylor is also working on a rom for the jetstream. so i'm guessing we'll have two roms coming out about the same time.
