If you are on the list, but have not told me how much you are willing to donate please post how much you are willing to put up.
Still looking for more donations for the flyer root. Lets get enough to at least reimburse the dev for the flyer purchase!
I'm up for 50 for S-OFF as root and recovery has been achieved if any body bothers with xda.cn

rooting has been achieved on a s-off device. I will add you for $50 for s-off, but currently attaining root on s-on is the goal.
Still looking for more people to sponsor the dev team.
I pledge $20 for root.
$20 from me too.
Thanks! Updated
Developers for God sake, just say how much do you want to do the job!! I hate waiting......
Count me in. $30 for rooting s-on Flyer.
Sent from my HTC Flyer P512 using XDA Premium App
20$ for s-on root
20 euros for root, +10 euros for voice call

Thanks a lot guys!
Updated 6-30-11 (my time)
I started going through the old "Root for Flyer" thread and found some donations there. I PMd the bigger bounties to see if they are still active. Lets hope, it should really sweeten the pot.
I also want to clarify how bounties should work (but it is not like I am the god of bounties)
Once root is achieved on the S-ON flyer and Verified (just covering my ass, not intended to be insulting)
*****The Dev will need to set up a paypal account. Everyone who promised bounties should then paypal the money to the Dev. If you have specific issues paying through paypal, you need to contact the Dev and figure out the best way for you to pay them.
Once the dev has confirmed the payment I will note it by your name.*****
We do not have police powers here, as far as I know it is all honor system. But please come through with your promised donation!
We have root thanks to Dan (djrbliss). It's time to pay up:

So we're now at $160. I'll throw $20 in the pot too. Let's hope this is incentive enough for some clever dev.

Wow that's very generous of you mate!
OK NEW UPDATE: with tbird.hokie and crpaulino's generous donations and the rest of us all pooling together, we're at $330!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's insane, honestly, that's literally almost enough to buy someone a tablet at this point.
Is there a way for the developer to know for sure that they will get the money? If they spend $400 and buy the tablet and the people "forget" about the money, they would actually lose money.

Which is why, honestly, it would be better for somebody to send me there device for a couple of days to mess with. Blind developing root is possible its just going to be harder.

Well, if trust is the issue, why would someone mail their tablet to a stranger? I think what we're all hoping is that someone has their hands on a tablet and has dev skills and could mess around with it. You're right - blind rooting is close to impossible; we just want to say that we'll contribute $15, 20, 50, or 100 each once someone can successfully provide us with root. I'd part with my device if it was someone local, but I take it with me everywhere now and whether or not it gets rooted I'll use it just as much, I'd just like root for a lot of fun things I'd like to do with it. That being said, if anyone wants to send bubby323 their tablet, he stands to make over $300 if he gets root and s-off on the tablet S!!!
Can someone access using ADB "/cache/ota" and/or "/cache/download" and/or "/cache/recovery"? If you can, please make a dump of these folders (the ones that exist). Also see if you can write to these folders. If you can read these folders, there a chance I know how to root it. If you can write to these folders, there's an even greater chance.
Also, if there's anyone who knows how to use adb, add me on google talk or something. I need someone with access to a Tablet S for some of the stuff I'm doing with the Play that I want to test.
put me in for $20 so that we have a total of 350
Hey guys,
I work for a ROM Team, LiquidSMOOTH, and one of our developers (hiemanshu) is looking to get a Touchpad to help bring it another AWESOME ROM! But he is a little short on cash. I found this listing for a TouchPad in India http://bangalore.craigslist.co.in/sys/3410712948.html, which is approx $200 USD. I don't think that is too hard to save up, so why don't we try and get this for him!
Any donation counts, nothing is too small!
So, if you're wanting to donate to this cause, post below with what you pledge. Be prepared to pay what you say you will. Once we reach $250 USD (to have some wiggle room in the price if it changes, I would like to reach around $400, as that is the normal market price in India for a Touchpad), I will post his PayPal link so you all can send him what you pledged! I will update this post with the pledges, and with the grand total at the end
Please be prepared to send him what you pledge, don't post and then leave.
Here is a link to our current Touchpad thread, we are currently not able to get RC8 running on the Touchpad, while it runs on all other devices we support. Your pledges, and in turn donations, will help hiemanshu get a Touchpad and bring RC8 and further to it!

Shipping costs around that. I had a friend in the states that was selling one, and shipping alone is about $200 for it.. Sadly
$200 shipping, is that hand delivered by the Beatles on a magic carpet?
You check prices for shipping to Bangalore, India

The "$20" shipping takes a month to reach and a has lot of chances of package getting lost. FedEx/DHL/UPS take 3 days on the other hand. Trying to get one local if I can.

that's with 150$ insurance
pretty sure there's tracking with it as well
i say if rohin_adalja is willing to donate/sell the touchpad + shipping, it would be more economical to do it this way
of course, if people are willing to donate enough to buy it locally, why not
I pledge $10.00 USD.
If I had a TP that I personally used daily I'd donate more, but just trying to help since my fiancee still has one, and she may enjoy some liquid smoothness
Hope I have the finance to donate but i can't. Once i have the money i will donate. Thx for your dev guy's effort anyway!
I'll donate my spare 16GB Touchpad. Shipping needs to be covered, though. I was going to sell it, but this is a better cause.
Here's my XDA Marketplace thread where I was selling it. Description and pictures are in that one.
(New XDA users may not be able to view the thread.)
EDIT: Approximate cost of shipping the tablet via USPS medium flat rate box + $250 insurance + Return receipt is around $60. If you guys can raise that much and send it to me, your dev will have himself a tablet.
Okay, make it $15 from me.

Doesn't matter to me. I'll donate mine, as long as shipping is covered. You guys are welcome to pick whichever shipping service you like. The only things I insist on are insurance and signature confirmation to confirm the delivery. This way it doesn't just get left on the doorstep or something like that.
First off thank you over much. Secondly trying to find someone with a FedEx account or something so we can get it shipped for real cheap about the same price as USPS but 3 days shipping instead of the 3-4 weeks USPS takes to get here. (Its not usps, it the local post offices being bad at handling stuff)

Bounty Details
So as we all know, the new VRUAME7 update that came out on July 9th (initially starting as just an update via Samsung Kies or the Verizon Upgrade Assistant) and the following day releasing as an official OTA for everyone has officially broken the current root method that is available. The reason being is the new bootloader now prevents you from flashing the VRUAMD2 pre-release kernel (or any kernel for that matter) and even prevents you from downgrading the bootloader itself back to the original VRUAMDK firmware that came on our devices. As a result, everyone that has received this update has officially lost root (no surprise there), with no way of getting root back at the moment (slightly surprising there but ultimately not).
Since this is XDA, a vast percentage of us here desperately need root for many of our apps and mods that we use on a daily basis (including myself), not to mention custom recoveries so we could flash custom ROMs and such. It is now very critical that we (at the minimum) get root access back on this new firmware as soon as possible. As a result of this necessity, I would like to personally offer a $100 bounty to the first person able to find or create a method, exploit, or unlock that allows us to fully root and provide the necessary steps for rooting the Verizon Galaxy S4 here on XDA. I know it may not be much but seeing as how the previous root exploit was provided for free impressively quick with a huge thanks to Dan Rosenberg, I am hoping this small bounty will be able to motivate a few advanced developers or security experts to attempt and do likewise on this new highly secure update for our devices.
Whoever you are, you will be doing us and many other upcoming owners of this device a great justice and for that consider this as a token of my appreciation. I also greatly encourage and welcome anyone else willing to chip in to this bounty to post here and I will have the OP updated of all users' donations to this request.
Greatly looking forward to anyone interested in becoming a candidate.

Please note if you do not explicitly state separate prices for root/recovery and full bootloader unlock bounties, your contribution of the same price will be add to both lists.
Please note you may not submit a contribution for only ONE bounty. If you post a contribution, one price will be applied to both bounties unless separate prices are explicitly stated.
Please note you do not have to pay for both bounties separately. Whichever bounty gets fulfilled first is the one that you pay for upon collection. This is why your contribution is added to both lists automatically.
Please note you may not make any specific restrictions or requirements that aren't listed in the OP. By making a post with your contribution price you are agreeing to paying out based on all terms listed in OP only and nowhere else.
Please note once you make a post with your contribution you may not withdraw it at any time and are responsible for paying out once the bounty is claimed. The only changes that can be made are another post raising the prices if you choose so. Please make sure you read everything carefully. No exceptions!
Please be advised that if Verizon or Samsung is to release an official method of unlocking the bootloader (extremely unlikely but must be accounted for) prior to any member of XDA's submission, this bounty automatically becomes invalidated.

Count me in for $10. If everyone that likes tweaking their phone gives $5-$10, this bounty should grow quickly.
I'm in for $20.

I am in $10 as well. Just let me know where and when.
I'll gladly contribute $20.00 for a verified working root method (& i can make it work)
Good for $10 here.

You know what, I have previously donated to Koush in the past between buying his apps through the store and sending money once. I know the Dev's for Android put in a lot of time and effort to keep this community what it is, and being the proud owner of what was once a great Samsung Galaxy S4 that has now become a Glorified iPhone due to its locked bootloader and its massive bloatware by Verizon to many people that have updated their devices I want to contribute to this bounty!
I will donate $20 to this cause for someone that comes up with a root method equal to or better than the previous method we had for this new update & bootloader on the Verizon Galaxy S4. So please add me to the list.
Put me down for 25$ for unlock or 10$ for root/loki

I will pitch in $20.00.
Don't plan on rooting anytime soon myself, but fully support those that want to, and definitely want the opportunity available when I'm ready to. Hope the bounty creates an incentive that helps speed discovery along!

Bounty Details VZW Build MI9
*UPDATED 10/21/2013*
First and foremost, all credit for this bounty template goes to @open1your1eyes0, with his permission.
Thank you very much
Since this is xda, and a vast percentage of us here desperately need root for many of our apps and mods that we use on a daily basis (including myself), not to mention custom recoveries so we could flash custom roms and such. It is now very critical that we (at the minimum) get root access on the verizon galaxy note 3 as soon as possible. As a result of this necessity, i would like to personally offer a $25 bounty to the first person able to find or create a method that allows us to fully root and provide the necessary steps for rooting the verizon galaxy note 3 here on xda.
Furthermore, I would like to personally offer a $50 bounty to the first person able to find or create a method that allows us to bypass the bootloader checks and boot into a custom recovery and provide the necessary steps here on xda.
Whoever you are, you will be doing us and many other upcoming owners of this device a great justice, and for that consider this as a token of my appreciation. I also greatly encourage and welcome anyone else willing to chip in to this bounty to post here and i will have the op updated of all users' donations to this request.
Greatly looking forward to anyone interested in becoming a candidate.

These never end well and usually get locked, but what the heck. I'll pledge $25 for root and recovery, $100 for full bootloader unlock.

Thank you for your very generous pledge!! OP updated.
Throw me on that list for 20.

@AdamOutler,
Would you mind chiming in here when you get a chance and letting us know if you have any note 3 plans ahead?
We are hearing rumors that you're done with Samsung devices (I wouldn't blame you)
Either way, thanks for everything you've done.

Not a rumor, he stated in a couple different threads that he is done with Samsung phones & is advising everyone to go to other brands.
I'm going to remain optimistic that @Hashcode will save the day once root is achieved.
I have put down 50 for SS/Loki/etc or a full unlock. Keep the faith

Put me down for 20 for root and unlock bootloader.
I've got $10 for each.
*DONATOR LIST UPDATED* @1851 hours on 10/7/2013
Ill put 30 on bootloader
I'll put $25 for Root and $50 for Boot loader
put me down for $25 each. send a PM when it's done and i'll send my e-mail for an invoice through paypal.
I think anyone working on exploits should idle in #galaxy-note-3 on freenode so that we can brainstorm with each other. Unless there's already some other room set up. IRC works a lot better for this sort of thing. I'll be in there my name is bots on freenode :good:
25 for boot and 15 for root. Thank you

Put me down for $25 (bootloader unlock) and $10 (root) . The locked bootloader is the only thing that is keeping me from using my dumbphone upgrade on a VZW N3
