First off, Yes, I am very aware that this thread exists in the developer section.
I can't post there though as new members need 10 posts to write there.
I made this XDA account so I can contribute to the pool of money that's going. I can't imagine how long it would take me to actually answer 10 questions that aren't already answered on this site, so I'm hoping there's another way around it.
...It seems like the bounty page should be under general anyways though. I hope the moderators read this before deleting this thread into the firey bowels of internet hell.
Thanks
Fair point. At times the bounty thread is drifting in and out of being used as the development/progress thread quite confusing. But they are all just trying to help us get the device rooted so I'm not complaining! .
If you would like to pledge an amount as a comment here I'll quote it in the thread for you if you like.
Thank you very much Capn Dread Pirate.
Slap me down for $1.48CDN.
LOL, Just kidding. Can you imagine? Actually I'll go $25. Right in the meaty part of the curve.
....Mmmmmmm Meat curve. Goes well with sweet root access.
I'm waiting for the root too.
But in the case where the ICS update fix the exploit, i think we should just wait the release before asking hard word to the dev.
Let's be honest, chalenge + 900$, i think we're gone make it happen
(waiting for my 10th post too for adding some beer to the pledge)
What about the 2011 xperia lineup (arc, neo, kyno) any chance sony cook up a similar rom/bootloader ? Freexperia may save our souls ...
It'd be good if Sony allowed us to unlock the bootloader once the ICS update is out.

Newbie Sony Tablet owner here.
Love to see the Sony tablet root by one of the tremendously talented developers here. My pledge is $25.
Please somebody update the pledge thread in the dev section.

weird question
I really like galaxy on fire from fishlabs, but to crack it I need roted device...so this is my question. Is there any other way to crack this game?
Excuse me? Are you suggesting we give you advice on how to pirate a game?

If everyone just pirated games, all we'd have left are games packed with ads or **shudder**
...facebook games!
Hopefully we can get the sony tab rooted so we can delete social feed reader and personal space, not pilfer things from people who deserve that money. Show developers support and buy their products please
If everyone pirated games, there'd be no games to pirate! Why would a dev continue to make games for a device when it's users are ungrateful little brats that just steal from them?
This is why the itunes app store dominates android market.
Can't post in the dev forum yet.
Just sent the donation to Dan for the root.
Going to try the root tonight.
Now the waiting game is for a custom ROM !!!
Heh, Dan must be piling in the cash now, huh?
He seems very modest about it too.. credit to him.
Well I hope everyone who pledged money will actually donate. I'm super broke right now but it would be hypocritical of me not to donate right away so I did, and I'm very grateful!
Ill be donating my $80 on sunday australia time, keep an eye out unclespoon

hey Arnezie down at this end of the USA if you lay in the grass like your avatar pic the fire ants will serve you up at their mound
OP definitely needs to chill. Remember this a FREE service provided by world class devs. If they want to sit on their bums or if they want to release root tomorrow is up to their discretion since you don't pay for it.
Now mods please move to the general section. Only posts in DEV if you actually developed something. Smh.
By the way, why not enjoy stock for a lil before its rooted and never the same again?

I don't understand the negative responses.
Anyway, the attached file should do the trick. In it are no less than seven variants of root.
My personal suggestion is that you don't immediately settle on the first one to pique your interest. Check them all out, as they all have merits worth considering.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your new phone to its fullest potential!
This thread made me lol. I shall now have a good day at work.

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:

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.

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!

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.

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.

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??

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.
Stop bothering us, we're working on it that's all you really need to know. Just relax and enjoy the tablet itself. Ok? We're not your personal servants, we're just regular people with other things in our lives going on than just developing. Basically, GET THE HELL OFF OUR BACKS. Kthx.
Thanks to you, and all the dev's who devote your time and effort then share to all the masses. Wish some people would get that and be a little grateful at the very least. If you guys ever need a tester let me know otherwise you will see my thanks button clicked as many times as I can.

No one is on YOUR back. If you don't want the 400$ then don't mess with it period. Neither you nor any other dev has the right to tell me what to do with my tablet. If i want a unlocked bootloader in the next seven days then I have the right to ask for it period.

What you're offering amounts to minimum wage if you consider the person works on it for 8 hours a day for the next 7 days. On top of that, you are rude and have a strong sense of self entitlement. The developers do it out of personal self interest. Any other incentives are just icing on the cake.

There are likely many people working on this and there are probably more than the vocal few here or associated with this site. I think some people can appreciate the work being done while also knowing that those telling others about progress and status aren't the only ones doing some work on this device which is why the OP just threw an offer out.
There also seem to be a great number of people blindly following people just due to words they say, and as they say, talk is cheap. Excitement is one thing but it wouldn't hurt to know what they are getting excited about sometimes.
Personally I've been using Linux or *nix based operating system daily for 10 years and it's just a little bit disappointing sometimes to see a general lack of knowledge related to Linux when it comes to some pretty basic things that relate to Android and getting anywhere with it from "hacking". And I literally am just a user and absolutely do not write code, just copy and paste it about when there are things to fix at the very extreme. The solution here without getting "the key" is going to come from someone writing the code to make it work and maybe $400 or $500 or beyond will bring a person to spend some time on it where they normally wouldn't.
Another point, if he has the 400 to offer and the 250 to spend on it, why not just buy a full on android tablet?
All I can say is thanks for making my NT usable in the first place! Without the sideloading/root ability it would be practically useless. Devs adding even more function would just be icing on the cake, so no sweat.
Just to set the record straight, you're only hearing from the impatient vocal ones. There's a lot more of us sitting quietly on the sidelines cheering you guys on.

LOL I am begging for a bootloader unlock? How about I am trying to get more than ONE developer working on the Nook Tablet. You do realize we had 30+ on the Nook Color right?
Your comments are flaming and just down right wrong. Look up the definition of begging in the dictionary and I promise you won't find offering to pay someone to do a job in the definition.
I love how you think EVERY dev is only here for fun, which is complete BS. Probably 50% of devs are here to develop for THEMSELVES, and just release to the public because they are good people. Then another 40% do it for cash, and then you have the 10% who do it just because they are bored. All I am offering is someone besides the 1 dev we have to look at the problem, and if they break it give them a reward.
Like I said in the post if you don't want to try, then don't. No one is holding a gun to your head.

I have 300$ wrapped up in my nook tablet, and it has to be returned by next monday. Once I pay shipping back then spend hours researching a new tablet I will easily have more than 400$ in it.
I loved the nook color, and I bought the Nook Tablet because I was told by 2 different BN employees that it was unlocked (before we had any devs).
My returning the NT because I was lied to is my choice, period.
Like I said if you don't want to participate in the reward, then DON'T.
But my guess is, if you broke the bootloader u would be loudly demanding the reward, as would Indirect and everyone else who is complaining.
I am not flaming. You are requesting a bootloader unlock way too soon. These things take time. Why not just return it, then wait for a bootloader unlock to come out, then buy it again? Or just buy a full out android tablet?
Wow. So 12 posts, $400 bucks and you own the joint.

I very well may do that, but would rather not go to the hassle of packaging it back up and shipping it back to BN and dealing with that whole mess. Then spending hours research which other tablet I want to buy. I loved the NC and the NT has the potential in doing the same. We need devs here first and foremost and none are going to come without incentive.
For me I want try and get some more devs to the NT so we have a chance at a decent device. One dev isn't going to make it that and having a locked bootloader will make sure no others come if there isn't an incentive. If you don't believe me about the devs go check out the Droid Bionic. Killer hardware, locked bootloader, out for several months and a total of 3 devs whose hands are tide because of the crappy kernel
Return the NT and leave a comment to the CTO of BN telling them they have a crappy product with a locked bootloader. Complaining on Xda will get you nowhere. You could employ your own personal dev to unlock the bootloader, but don't use money to entice devs Xda members. EOS.
Nice knowing you. Well, at least some of you. Maybe see you on Rootz.

One word. CIRCLEJERK.
I'm new to SXS forums, having come from X8 about a month or so, so i don't know you that much... However, from what I can tell is you are one of the few insightful and knoweledgable members about Xperia and Android in general, on this sub-forum. Trolls, whiners, bashers are everywhere and we should not let them be the cause of quality posters leaving. I understand your frustration but hope you reconsider.

I like the way you actually spelled pretty much all of that correctly. It's 'knowledgeable' though, without an E before the first L and with an E after a G. But anyway, that's me being a grammar nazi. I hope to see you in my humble work-in-progress sanity corner on Rootz.

I for one will miss your input here K900 if you decide to keep your distance from xda.
I'd just like to say thanks for your work here, and also I hope you will reconsider your envolvement with this forum.
Don't let em grind you down bud
K900,
I have not been the mod for this forum for long but you have stood out to me in my daily activities here. You always appear to be quite helpfull and knowledgeable in many areas of the xperia and android in general. If there is something or someone that has led to your decision to leave xda I want you to know that my pm box is always open and I would be glad to speak with you on a personal level regarding any problems you are having here. If not I wish all the best in your future endeavours. You will be missed.
Best Regards

I guess it's just the people here turning every single thread into a circlejerk and generally ignoring the good side. I'm kind of affiliated with Sony, so seeing all that pointless, baseless hate directed at the awesome developers there who seriously care about you, yes, you there, the guy who just said he wants to get a GNex, just makes me cringe. I guess that's the general attitude around here, and that's how the internet works, but sometimes it's just over the top. There's also the real life stuff that needs taking care of, though that's not as important as I usually lurk at night anyway. I'm not really leaving XDA completely, just trying to keep my distance from the horrible cluster**** that's called 'Xperia S General'. Thanks for the kind words
Also, you guys are awesome just for managing to keep this forum in a state that generally makes sense. If I had the banhammer (don't give it to me), I would've probably gone all out yandere and ban everyone attacking Sony.

Announcing departure from forums is incredibly pretentious.
But you knew that, you silly goose!

Couldn't agree more.. sometimes this whole internet hate thing gets way out of proportion..
Anyway, such a shame loosing a good member like K900.
Hope to see you around again man :good:

Damn man.
I'm not a guy that say's a lot on xda read alot thought...not people a follow just to gain knowledge about stuff ' that matter" and give me advantage controling a device...
I saw the same thing when I followed some guy over at x10 forum that left to another side aswel, because of the hate that walked through the forum.
Its a shame that the love for this device that brought people together is going to be saperated by the 1 thing we will never can controle....thats people comming to [email protected]#(()ck things up...by forcing every thread to go from sharing to battling over..different phones...
For me its a shame another goed guy is going away.....hope to see you at that site....does it has a forum with tapatalk?
I just hope for you that those haters wont follow you there....been happening. Before...
Tnx for what you conributed to this forum

Hi,
I understand your decision, bacause I wanted to make the same one.
but for now i am working on some projects, so i won't keave yet, but if XDA is not going to change I will leave too
Unfortunately I have been seeing the quality of the posts going down since I joined. Saw it in the Desire forum and now more and more here. Only the Flyer is still good as the community is so small
I have an idea though. The OP of each thread in the dev section should be able to give a strike to anyone who posts in his thread that is negative or unconstructive to his thread. If a user gets 3 total strikes on his account he is suspended for 1 month. Repeat offenders can be longer. At least this would keep the dev section clean and not piss off all of the developers so they decide to leave. If a moderator thinks something like this is possible I think it would improve the quality of the forum for everyone.
