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

$225
Good for $100USD

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.

Yes no developer here
I hope if you are a developer help us to have root in jetstream
Please please PRETTY PLEASE! I would be in for $50. The ATT Bloatware is really bugging me.
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.

I wanted to help net get a 3d so he can work on making a bomb kernel for our Phones once we get root! Because we will get root eventually! Anywhozle please state your donation and stay true to it, anything will help.... he said himself he will try to work on it. When I asked if he wanted the help in getting the fone, he modestly replied:
netarchy: "ticklemepinks, that's a loaded question heh, I won't turn it down, but I'm not going to solicit people about it either. if I get the phone, I'll work on it is about all I will say in that regard"

I've edited a previous post of mine on the first page, but I'm going to repost it here as well in case anyone misses 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.

I really am trying to figure out if this is violation of the rules of XDA. I see what you are trying to do, but others may not.
Also I believe this shouldn't be here either, but we'll leave those who have power to decide. Be prepared for people who are going to be rude.
Good luck!

It's nice what your doing but I think the link should come down. We all know how to send him donations. I have sent in many in the past to other developers.
I would like to do the same for Mik but we can't have a post for every dev. Im sure you see why they don't want us to post things like this.

Ok, if you want to do some kind of fundraiser type thing to get me a phone to work on, I won't turn it down (I'm no fool!), but you should do something with a defined goal and visible progress, not a post with my direct donation link.
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.

Isn't netarchy on tmob with a nexus s?
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.

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.
ok i'll start

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.

Just to clarify, this isn't an offer to sell it. Its an offer to give, with original box, and I'll even cover shipping.

Sad at how inactive this section of the XDA forums are. When presented with the opportunity to get a Galaxy Tab 8.9 or an HTC Jetstream for cheaper, I feel I should've first spent some time scoping out the modding community on these tablets before committing to a purchase. Why is HTC Jetstream development dead when we have unlocked bootloaders and root? Are we waiting for something to happen or just developers? Just even more users in general, perhaps?
I am an active developer/programmer with 5+ languages under my belt, products including Android/iPhone apps, but I've never attempted kernel and/or ROM development and honestly wouldn't know where to start.
Would love for ICS to be on this beast... it's still very nice hardware. Not as slim as the Galaxy Tab, but still a beast.
the main problem is that when the device was new it was expensive. so very little people actually bought it.
the community was tiny, but we got two developers to come. task650 and doomlord.
they mainly came because there a was a bounty for rooting the device. after that occured, they vanished. can't blame them.
i think that now there are alot more users but none of which are developers.
so we're screwd. perhapes HTC will be nice enough to update the device to ICS one day...
I still check in here everyday, but am never surprised to see that nothing new is there. I do remember capychimp had popped in and said he wanted to do a rom, but I never heard anything back from him.
At&T software update at the end of january is very helpful. Doomlord help a lot with root and recovery, kernel. We have got unlocked bootloader. I've paid almost 900$ to got this device from AT&T without contract with scribe pen and I unlocked it for 25$ so I was able to use here in my country Hungary, successfully rooted,updated,debloated. Now HTC please update to 3.2 or ICS. Or somebody please make s-off
Galaxy tab 10.1 3G 16gb is 500$ simfree here in my country so Jetstream for 900$ very expensive
Galaxy tab 8.9 3G 440$ sim free
Like galaxy s2 is 500$

Well, I am a capable and willing developer, but I also have a full time job. And I understand the bounty, don't blame them either. I don't require the bounty for motivation though for getting ICS on this since I own it. I just don't believe I could set aside enough time or have enough know-how around custom ROM development to lead a project. Though, like I said, very willing to help.
Did it sound like this capychimp was willing to lead a project?

Eek, $900 is very expensive... I got it in a deal where you could get a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket for free if you got the Galaxy Tab 8.9. Asked if it applied to the HTC Jetstream as well, and they agreed. So I got that one instead since it was a bit cheaper, under contract of course.

Seems Task650 and CarpeNoctem have released their custom roms. May be you could break heads with them and help bring out a really good release and may be even try out for ICS. Here is hoping for the best.
I got the Jetstream for $699 off contract as bought it on Black Friday sale. Getting it sim free costed me $25 - so in all spent $724 which amounts to close to Rs. 36000 as I live in India. Spent another Rs. 8000 ($ 40) for the screen gaurd and a gel case though. Comparing it with Galaxy Tab that was available around same time for Rs. 33000 ($660), I still find the Jetstream a big bargain considering its specs and the Scribe pen which has been a big boon for me. Yes of course have to wait for upgrades, etc which can get frustrating but I really do not mind as even the stock device solved a lot of my time and helped a lot. Anything more is like a bonus. Thanks to HTC for this wonderful device and thanks to all the developers in the community who are trying their best to make this device even better than it is.

I just don't believe I could set aside enough time or have enough know-how around custom ROM development to lead a project. Though, like I said, very willing to help.
Did it sound like this capychimp was willing to lead a project?
Eek, $900 is very expensive... I got it in a deal where you could get a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket for free if you got the Galaxy Tab 8.9. Asked if it applied to the HTC Jetstream as well, and they agreed. So I got that one instead since it was a bit cheaper, under contract of course.

Yes very expensive. I bought it last year October almost after official luanch from AT$T retail store. I live in Hungary so I need it without commitment. I paid 849$ + tax for it and I didnt got the free scribe pen I paid 25 for the unlock and I use it here in Hungary and worked perfectly for me.
Im worked for a GSM service company. We will repair,service, update, unlock, cell phones and much more so I will bought the scribe pen and accessories from my wholesealer very cheap and Im very happy with my tablet but software support is a little bit dissapointing for me:S I hope soon we will get ICS or some OS upgrade.
Waiting for S-OFF!!!!
I think ICS will put this tablet to Heaven Strong hadware, good screen...

no one else?
I will go with a $30 for the moment.
Thanks, hopefully someone will pick up the project..
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.

Thank you. Would you be able to do something about s-off too? BOGMOH has got a s-off device. He is willing to help in order to aid us others to get the same. If you have some know how, could you help out for that too?

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!

Thanks man!
also thank you to XDA user ZooDad for $20!
I too was fortunate enough to unlock from HTCDev early. I could not wait to get this phone and appreciate all the effort so far.
I'm in for $20. and will have a HDMI adapter in hand (can't find mine) at the end of the day to test if HDMI works.
Thanks for putting this together.

thanks to everyone!
as we stand we currently have $220 of the $280 needed!!

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.
Yea this phone isn't that great to some people, but I personally LOVE it, and can't wait to hack the living hell outta this badboy and get us some S-OFF lovin!
this phone honestly is Perrrrfect for me, and already this community is coming together to do something great!
guys this could get us $50!

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.
