rezound was 8 months deep before s-off came onto the scene, we have the opportunity to knock on the door now!
sure why not
I was lucky enough to get htc dev unlock, but i feel bad for those who didn't. i love the phone but without the button remap i may have returned it. --$25

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.

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.
I'll mark you down in the OP!
only $45 more!!!

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.
That said... I won't stop you from trying...

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!
BANG! from my shooter...

fair enough, you got me lol down with this fund
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.

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"

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.

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??

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.

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.

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.
ok i'll start

Very well done. I hope to see some of his good work in here.
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.
Harsh.. I'm sure I'll get flamed.. But check his ROM thread out..

.. 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.

That's mostly the case with chefs that only one device. Once the go to the Jesus phone, you never hear from them again. Myself, have been around for years and will continue to be around for more years to come.

I did all the modern winmo devices... and I do a lot of android devices as well these days. Experience counts
Done!
Loved your work on my "retired" HD2...looking forward to what you will do on the Amaze!

Great Now we're up to $45 !
Here in about a week I get an upgrade from T-mo, so ill be getting an Amaze. I don't have cash to give but I offer my working hd2. If you want the hassle of selling it, you can make a few bucks. 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.

Cool! great way to save a some moolah. The amaze is an awesome device, but the audience for it is really small right now, compared to a world phone like the sensation
As some of you may or may not know, Newtoroot is going through some personal issues at this time. I think it would be a great idea if we all came together and threw him some money. I just put a $600 deposit on an apartment with me and my girlfriend, but I'll still try to throw him $5 or so...
It has come to my attention that there is a donate button on the bottom of his signature. I'm sure he would appreciate anything, and if you can't donate, at least give him some kind words.
XDA is a Community, and together we can keep it great. The DNA would be far less enjoyable without his work and hours of work for free to bring us the best software on this device...
Thanks everyone!

He hasn't been around much cuz, i know being unemployed, it's hard to choose what bills to pay and last month he really had some hard personal times. I know he don't want me posting his business on here but man. Newt I pray for you and I hope you will get a job offer or win the lottery *that was a joke the second part*. I know you need to take care of your wife n kid so dont spend too much time on XDA (even though we love you and our updates). I'll send some $$ next time i get paid for you bro. Keep yo head up
thanks for the thread
any little bit counts, just donated. his rom is amazing on my DNA.
Donated $25 2435-3634-0227-7936
Kush, thanks for letting us know about this. We're a community and we try to help out each other.
I donated $50. Good luck NEWT!!!
I'd like to know what field he's in. I have a number of connections around the country and depending on the field I may be able to find something. Especially if he knows firewalls or other network security. Or lives in Omaha or Pittsburgh.

Man, he's been on the struggle for a while. I've donated to him several times previously but unfortunately I just don't have it to give right now. I'll certainly send all the positive vibes I can his way though.
I'm in for $10 confirmation 81T02030233966921
