Hi
so, we've got a proven developer, show-p1984, willing to help us get this device to the modern age.
all we need now is to get him a device.
our guy lives in Germany, so if there's a European user wanting to Part with his device - Let us know please!
if there isn't: we need to put the money together and get him a device.
the cheapest ebay device i've seen is 249$. to which we'll have to add 20% tax in Germany. this will get us to about 300$.
it seems to have free shipping.
all of us willing to put the money upfront - this is the current division between us:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkSenxSHUyy_dHZvSUhZbjczSk55bkEyd1dfYnBYNVE
i opened a Paypal account for this purpose. i will share the account Password with another forum member, for control purposes.
the shortest way to go is using the "Donate to me button" of my user. this will take you to donate to a user called "xda.jetstream".
the faster we all get the money in, the faster we'll get jb..
thanks.
3rd HUGE donation...3-4 more people and we're on our way!
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
You can get a brand new jetsream at all4cellular with the coupon code "A4C20" for $200!
this is what you call "too little too late"
the operation is finished and the device is on his way to our guy. usps are taking their sweet time on it..
I am sorry I missed this operation, but to provide an added incentive to the dev, I will be offering a $100 tip as soon a ROM the community is happy with is ready.
I will gladly pledge $ upon evidence of development.
I hope this isn't another project that gets dropped.
if everything goes as planned - we should be ok.
the device is still on its way to show_p1984. its super annoying, but DHL are the problem now...
show_p1984 gave me his word that in case he should fail, or something like that he will send the device to another developer, of our choice. all we got is his word, but i trust him and keeping in touch with him.
Update:
the device made it to our guy last week, after about 3 weeks of shipment.
unfortunately he got damaged during the shipment, and we're trying to get at least a partial refund. the damage is cosmetic and won't disturb with the developing, probably.
show_p1984 had some time to play with the device and decided that the most important thing required is JB. not the storage bug, not a proper 3.1 rom..he's going straight for JB ROM. this could take a while, i'll update here when something will happen.
thanks again to all the donators.

Glad to see that things are moving quickly.
Once we have a method for getting JB on to the Jetstream, will the developer produce a comprehensive how-to guide for all of us who have no experience with roms, rooting, etc.?
probably. if not them, the reset of the forum.
i have a feeling once proper ROM will available, more users will get here.

showp said that you would at least need the HTC unlock 's-off wanna be' he called it. i think he's referring to the bootloader. best way to find out is to wait and see..
Showp just tweeted me:
I have a Jetstream and already got JB booting. gfx support is nearly done, some other small stuff is missing but it's getting there

As I see it -> we should get a (great) sense dev onboard.
Because as far as I know, the stylus is involved with sense!
Now I must give props to Showp (aka, Dennis) He is REALY doing GREAT work here!
Thanks for everythign Dennis, and when you release your work, a donation will be coming your way!
The stylus support possible without sense assuming that the stylus component is the same as that of flyer. They have got it working on aosp roms as well...

That is very great news indeed!
We still need to get a great developer on board, because as good as ShowP is with kernels, he is not a very good rom dev, I mean yes he can, but it will take a LOT of time for him, which I think is unnecessary.
chaos-z from the flyer forum once suggested helping..and i think some of the others here could probably port roms since its far easier than kernel development.
and finally, jmztaylor is also working on a rom for the jetstream. so i'm guessing we'll have two roms coming out about the same time.

So HTC's two new 2.1 phones were rooted by Paul O'Brian, hours after he had his hands on them.
http://twitteling.com/2010/04/htc-desire-and-htc-legend-has-succeeded-in-the-root/
Apparently it was 'easy'. He is without internet and on vacation for two weeks, so no more details.
For Legend/Desire users it does not mean much yet, due to file systems being locked. However if this could be used on our 2.1 ROMs, we would be wide open.
Did we miss something simple? If you have time, and willingness please join me in looking for something simple, that could of been overlooked by both HTC and ourselves. This has been on my mind for days.
Several Desire owners have informed me that oem unlock is disabled just like our phones, so the n1 method is not what he used. I image the desire/legend kernel is somewhat close to our's. Like our's, no kernel source is available.
Any Shots are welcome.

It was posted on April 1st, its not a joke.
Long time Lurker, first time poster.
I know that the roms from HTC are signed and it would be almost imposable to hack the key used to sign the roms. However have the developers looked at it from the other direction? Do we know how the Eris stores the certificate that is used to check the signed Roms? Dose the Eris use a keystore for this and is that store shared with the web browser? Would it be possible to Inject or replace the Cert in order to sign our own roms? I'm guessing not but you never know.
I'm not a dev so its ok to flame me if this is way off base or been covered before.
Also thank to all the Dev's for all of your hard work.
Derek
Thread moved to general.
well this is atleast something positive. Lets hope this guy is our savior...
I hope he's having a wonderful vacation , the dev team deserves it
Sent from my Eris using Tapatalk
@jcase: I'm thinking he just used a pre-compiled root (asroot/m7 etc), which would be the easiest possible way to do it. We have tried pretty much all known kernel sploits a hundred different ways and the Eris kernel still stands untouched. However, if these newer phones are vulnerable to the same exploits (need official word on this from Paul), then perhaps they're not patched on Eris, but are just incompatible / working not as intended.
Bounty?
Is the bounty still alive/in effect?
Chances are he doesn't own an Eris. Then again, he might not need to...
If so, well, I'd be willing to contribute to getting one into his hands.
The second build of the leak is acting up for me. I was pretty happy with the first one actually. This is what being impatient does
It'll be awesome to see how this was done as the security on the devices seems similar to ours from the limited amount I can see...
I didn't realize he still was on vacation, I assumed he waited to report his findings until he got home.

He "found" it before ever seeing one of the phones, just a leaked rom. I think its a permissions issue that we may have overlooked in 2.1.
thawkth, about 5 minutes after he releases details, I will know if it applies to us.
I don't think anyone gives a damn about the bounty, if someone does contact caboose and pay him his dues (if he wants them), he got us the root.
I know that jcase isn't really haggin with us any more so hopefully someone will be following up with this, it sounds promising. I am keeping an eye on the OP over at modaco but I am not sure that I have the knowledge base to replicate Pual's work if he shares his exploit. Thanks
I too am hoping this guy can help us.. he is our last hope imo.... short of htc leaking something again.
Well there won't be any news today as we may have thought. Paul seems to stuck on his vacation for a few extra days thanks to the volcano.

lol.. little does he know the storm of users that are anxiously awaiting his return...
I'm wondering what is the manufacturers' goal of the devices being locked. No ability to change their **** software? Possible claims from unresponsible users?
I don't understand this world...
HTC Sense is piece of crap (changed it to n1 launcher, but it still occupies my phone's storage space),
HTC apps are piece of crap (calendar sucks, majority of widgets suck)... wish i was able to uninstall them..
Please give us root!
Some would say - buy n1 instead... but hey, I like the look of desire and it's optical trackball... if it has to be present anyway...
So far, only xboarder is really working on this (with some possible help but not posted), and he does not have a phone. Appears someone reneged on a deal.
When the MT4G and G2X came out, there were a lot that jumped in - what is the issue here?
I don't think you know but the device dropped on 10/17 i'm pretty sure & alot of people are viewing thread's just not as much developers , there are about 2 developers here now .
Developers are having hard time to decide which device should they buy..
they got multiple choices now...
Samsung Galaxy 2
Samsung Nexus 2
Htc Amaze
Plus all the devices are expensive to its gone he hard for them to get all....
Same , i just bought the amaze as a temperary , once the Galaxy Nexus come's out i'm purchasing that . The SGS2 has a terrible screen .

The nexus will only come out on Verizon for the foreseeable future - and switching carries for the phone of the moment is ------.
As for Samsung, I have only had bad experiences with their software/policies - so not going there anytime soon. LG for same reason is also an issue.
How about buying all the developers this phone at full price so we can get the roms out? No? Bad idea? Why not? Too much money? Oh... didn't think of that.

There sure is. It's expensive as hell! How many other phones are out now and how many are on the horizon? From a developers perspective they have a lot to chose from. Odds are slim that we'll get dozens of developers that are going to get this device immediately after it's release. We might get one or two at first and that's about all we have. For f#@k sake the main developer doesn't even have the damn phone! Give it time or return it. It's up to you. I am sticking with it because I see the potential and I believe that development will open up in the near future.
Examples:
MT3G didn't start getting support for about a week after Cyanogen got it.
MT3G 1.2 didn't start getting support for MONTHS because of driver conflicts and the lack to crack the bootloader (which still hasn't been done).
Vibrant... still doesn't have a stable CM rom release and it's been out for over a year.
These are just devices that I know about for certain. I'm sure there are many more.
So we've had the phone for less than a month and people are getting impatient? Why? Did you think that we'll have root BEFORE the phone was released? Just be patient. It's very unlikely that this will be the only phone that isn't going to have ICS, CM7/CM9, etc.

Ok hello all. I don't get on much but I also don't troll (cept I did ask Viperboy & Vin to have my 3D make me coffee lol) . Anyways long story short in two months I will be moving possibly out of the country (it's the military so I don't know yet) . I will know by the end of April. IF I LEAVE THE COUNTRY I won't need my Evo 3D and would be happy to give it away. It is S-Offed Hboot 4 and Version 2 hardware. If your interested please send me a PM. Again it's a month or so away but out of ten bases I picked 8 overseas so there is a good chance. Sorry you will have to pay to ship it to you... lol. It will come without an sd card but will come with a charger and the Seidio Extended Back (the humpty hump) . I will update this post once I get the details. If I stay in the states I'll keep it of course as I will stay with Sprint.
Thanks for stopping by ... and Developers thanks for your efforts to making this phone rock. Can't wait to see what you do with ICS Source

Maybe we can use it as a community dev device. haha
recognized dev "s0be" is looking to get a 3D. He is a REAL developer. On the hero cdma he backported the 2.6.38 kernel to an arm6 device for which the kernel was never supposed to work on it. He has a github and supports opensource. His code has made it into other devs kernels and ROMs, CM, and most amazingly he actually coded part of the base for android - the Linux kernel itself! He has made camera function where it shouldn't (htc on aosp) and other rather amazing feats. Currently he has an aria (because his regional carrier cancelled him when he had heroc and he had to go to att). If anybody could use a free device, and have a LARGE community benefit, it's s0be. PLEASE get in touch with me or pstevep if you're for real. We'll get in touch with him. I hope (most importantly) that you benefit from your service to our country, for surely we will all benefit from it. Thanks for what you're doing, or about to do!
EDIT: also, a similarly talented REAL dev "Decad3nce" is looking to get a shooter, he and s0be have worked together He actually said he would accept the device but ONLY if it's donated specifically to CM team (he is part of CM) and that the device would be a community dev device for CM and AOSP).
Peace.

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

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'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.
Is all ICE and JB deployment stopped for the Flyer?
None of the roms works correctly and none is updated recently!
Whats up with that? Should i just make my flyer stock and sell it or is there still hope for it?
depends on what you're looking for out of the flyer. I personally jumped ship for the nexus 7 and couldn't be happier, although I do miss pen input a lot. everyone has just had classes start so if they are in high school or college that can also cause a slow down. the flyer isn't dead yet!

I really hope so. And no i do not use the pen at all.
The only reason i bought the Flyer wash because it was cheap. 1000Kr ($175) about 1½ year ago. Today it's installed in to my car dashbord.
I would love nothing more than to buy the Nexus series. For the sole reason of quick updates. But only Nexus and Nexus S phones is sold in Denmark.
Honestly Ira the same reason i bought it, i live in Sweden though.

Looks dead to me
Flyer
yea does not look promising anymore ; Dexter away on other devices and out of options, Chaos never really return after vacations - asked for remote acces PC wich he never decide to use after set up,... so more or less game ower as far as software goes. Try to find optimum out of what we have; i use GB and works awsome for me.
As for Lee - will see -maybee but prolly not.
Stock gingerbread is the way to go no doubt.

Okay, I'm considering "downgrading" to this.
Do you think it's a lot faster?
What rom is recomended?
Can you get rid of the horrible default set shortcuts in the bottom of the homescreen?

If Dexter isn't working actively anymore on the device, than sadly agree that development is pretty much dead. Hate to say such things, since if any devs are working on this device, its probably a bit of a discouragement for them to see threads talking about development being dead. But its really not looking good. Its sad to go into Development day after day, week after week, and see nothing updated or new.
Such a beautiful piece of hardware that too at dirt cheap rates and alas! no further development on this.
Long back I had an optimus one (600 mh) and sold it about a year back. It's such a small piece of hardware compared to our heavenly HTC flyer, but development on this phone is going on amazing well. It's having unofficial cm 10 as well.
Chaosz was going so well.
I wish and hope as this device will further be sold at even more reduced prices, even used ones, some interested developers might still pick up this device and.contine the development.
But for the time being it seems certainly dead.
There is still hope that Chaos and Dexter will collaborate and maybe combine the best of their ROMs, so that we could get a better JB for the Flyer, they only need some free time. So, until they are gone from this section - the development is not dead yet.

Your experiance dealing with Flyer will be lot faster. With proper luncher ull have same feeling like on ICS/JB (holo launcher - highlly recomended).
As for rom prolly best would be FlyHIGH.

Its probably the one of fastest out there for our device. I recommend stock htc with sense. You can change those shortcuts to what you prefer. I say give it a chance for a day.
You know, these devs create ROMs for free.
Dexter is still working on JellyBean and has a version 1.7 out that's really good and works as a daily driver. Perhaps we should organise some money to say thank you?
I know a bunch got burnt donating to DG for nothing to appear, but if a rom has already been released, can't hurt to contribute to the developer to keep going.
thanks to Dexter

i wholeheartedly agree. Dexter continues to look out for us despite having a GNote2. And really because of him the flyer isnt dead yet. and for the longest time he was doing it without a donate button. i noticed that just recently he had a donate button. i suggest that those who appreciate his efforts throw some beer money his way [or whatever his choice of libation may be:laugh:]
Dexter working very hard now. I'm believe that he make perfect ROM for us.
I wanna donate to him, but i haven't money for it now. :C
