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.

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.
hello?
is there anyone that still tries developing something here?
BWM-boy?
task650?

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.

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...
I asked Franco if he would support the TFP since hes done a great job with the Galaxy Nexus. He said he would but did not have a device to develop with.
I made this post to see if there was an interest in this and to see how many were willing to donate some money to help him get a TFP to start development for it.
Might be too much to ask but wanted to know if there was a demand. If there was then maybe we can pool together. If not I have no way of knowing if there was even a possibility to do so.

These bounties are rarely a good thing. It creates expectations from the people that donate and undesired pressure on the developer. If he buys one himself, I will happily donate.

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.
Hi
Is this real? 500 units made new freshly arrive China.

It's on eBay as well, brand new for $253 with free shipping. I can't post the link, but you know how to search on ebay . . . (Just type the words you want into the search bar and hit enter--it's fairly simple.)
This should get development going, no? :laugh:
probably not. that has been the price for quite a while now..
when showp will manage to crack it and to get a proper kernel - that would get development going..
it seems to be very hard to get something done with this device.

That's a shame. I didn't realize it was so cheap for so long--is the only thing really holding this tablet back the lack of 4.x support? I thought when it came out, the reason it didn't sell was because it so expensive . . . Now that the price is so low, why wouldn't people start picking it up? Also, I don't see anyone selling it this cheap anywhere else, at least brand new.
Plus, the more people that pick one up, the bigger the demand/incentive for 4.x support, which HOPEFULLY translates into more donations for developers.
---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------
Update: the $253 BIN JetStreams are now gone from eBay. There's another guy selling 10 (1 has already sold) for $280 with free shipping.
it started off as ultra-expensive and got very little demand.
seeing the low demand HTC and at&t neglected the device, not bothering to update it to 4.x android. that pretty much killed it.
the rest of the units are being sold around in relatively low prices, most of them refurbished.
since no developer purchased the device - there's no development going. the device has such tiny community that its considered dead. look at the forum here, practically no movement at all. no developer would get his head into this sick bad. we had to find one, collect money and buy a device for an excellent guy to work on. and as good as he is, its still taking months to overcome HTC's **** job on this one.
but all of that doesn't really matter. once showp1984 will get the kernel to work, i'm guessing we'll be jumping pretty much straight to android 5.x. and you will see some action in the forum.
I hope you're right. The hardware on this thing is so good (except for the "low res" screen), it's a shame it got killed off so quickly. Is there anything we, the non-programming members of the rooting community can do to help? Other than send showp our positive thoughts, and eventually, our money. ?
eventually showp will crack this kernel thing, and then we (non-programing) could try and look for as many ROM developers as we can. this will create a pool of ROMs and maybe revive this device a bit.
Ohhhhhh dilema for me, price dropped to 225 us$. Should I? Or wait for new HTC unknown when. Or get 4cores? What say you guys?
This is not the droid you're looking for.
every other tablet goes for this price...
if u can wait - do so and see if the development worked.
if u cant wait - don't touch this one.
Ouach, you got in. I'm a 7" phone tablet person. Was pondering this jetstream because HTC sense, then the sync is so much better Samsung kies.
Current P1000 damaged a few times concern times up, need a replacement soon. Tried wife's 4.7" but impossible to go back now. Size up is the way. I don't game on android. Just work, comic, reading, little bit video during flight or waiting.

Updates?
Hey guru,
I can't reply on the development posts yet, but I was wondering--any word from Dennis on development?
Also, I realized DoomLord already released a kernel for the JetStream . . . What is Dennis working on for us now?
Thanks!
dennis is still working. he's creating a proper kernel using the newest linux versions. that is required for the kernel to support JB versions. since there is no other developer or any similar device - he's doing all the work himself - which takes time (also because he's working on other devices).
what doomlord made was far from perfect, and caused alot of issues for some of us. dennis is much more thorough in his work.
So, what I'm seeing here is that the Jetstream might be worth getting. I've been wanting one for a while now, but just haven't done it. I'm actually waiting to get my wife a Sam Note 10.1 before I get a tablet. She really wants one for work and I want the Jetstream, first, because it's HTC's only 10" tablet, and second, just to play with. I've been watching this forum just to see how much hope there is and it sounds promising.
i would wait for the development to finish. i'm not suggesting the kernel won't work - but it doesn't exist yet. wait for it..
I agree with Guru, but if you just need a tablet for basic stuff, like web browsing, email, Netflix, etc., the Jetstream is fine for all of that. Some apps are not compatible because it's still on 3.1, but otherwise it's a solid tablet for a pretty good price right now. If you NEED ICS or JB, then I'd go with something else, or, like Guru suggested, wait.
