Is there any chance of getting s-off for free as a christmas gift????????????
I will be thankful for my whole life if it happens.
Please don't use this forum to beg for things that other folks pay money for.
Anyway, I posted to your other thread. S-off is not what you want, anyway. S-off doesn't unlock the SIM.
Moderator Information,
Thread has been closed. Currently I am unaware of any plans to make s-off for free.

I have received a few private messages asking for for progress reports on s-off along with several other requests such as bounties and such. I won't allow a bounty to be set up for s-off unless it can be delivered without any doubt! Since this is impossible to guarantee and per a few requests I've decided to set up a PLEDGE to the developer(s) or team(s) that can contribute to obtaining s-off.
How this will work.
If you are a developer and want to take a crack at getting s-off for this device then please be our guest. Of course you will require an HTC Amaze with S-ON and you will have to use your own device at your own risk!
Upon a release of a successful method of obtaining s-off for this device each member that places a pledge will be held accountable for the amount pledged.
HOWEVER, XDA-Developers, XDA-Developers Moderators, Admins and other staff members are NOT liable, obligated or required IN ANY WAY to interfere, object or in any way enforce the collection of any pledged amount from any member. All pledges are a promise from one member to whomever can successfully submit the means for the XDA Community with S-ON devices to obtain S-OFF without any other party being involved.
In other words, you are not guaranteed the amount pledged by any member and if the member(s) do not fullfill the quoted pledges then there's absolutely nothing the developer(s) or team(s) can do to force receipt of those pledges.
Upon receipt of pledges after the release of verifiable s-off method simply create a post and edit it accordingly with the names and values of each member that has been paid. I will then return to the post and edit it accordingly to mark that the member has fulfilled his/her pledged amount.
TO THOSE THAT PLEDGE OR WOULD LIKE TO PLEDGE.
By placing a value in a reply after this thread you are making a promise to pledge that said amount within 30 days of delivery of a successful method of obtaining s-off. Those that do fulfill the quoted pledged amount must be verified by the developer(s) and/or team(s) involved in releasing the said method. After receipt of pledged amount the developer(s) and/or team(s) should then add your name and amount received to a post and I will edit your post with the value of the amount paid as mentioned by the developer(s) and/or team(s) providing the said s-off method. When donating, please include your XDA member name so we'll know who to give proper credit to.
DO NOT DONATE ANY MONEY TO ANYONE PROMISING TO PROVIDE S-OFF!!!
You are not guaranteed by any one member(s) or team(s) that s-off can or will be accomplished. Donating any amount of money to obtain s-off will be at your own risk and XDA as well as other members and staff will not be held liable or responsible for lost funds.
Now what?
We don't have s-off. We probably won't have s-off. We are hoping to get s-off.
Do you want to help us get s-off? Do you think that you can help by pledging an amount? Post a reply below with your donation amount.
Example:
Binary100100 pledges $100
If you decide that you want to change your pledge then do NOT post another reply. Simply edit your thread.
To the "hero" that gets us s-off.
You simply need to post the method as another thread in Development then provide the link to this thread here.
Below the link add the list of those members that you have received the donation from and for the amount received.
Example:
xda-developers/example/link/amaze4g/s-off-method-link-here
Binary100100 donated $100
someone_else donated $100
some_rich_generous_guy $500
some_cheap_guy $5
Total donated so far $705
If anyone has any question the feel free to ask.
PLEASE keep this ON TOPIC.
PLEDGES AND INQUIRIES ONLY!!!
Failure to do so may have posts deleted and infraction for failure to comply.
Now... contributors, open your wallets. Developers, put on your thinking caps.
Thanks!
Amount pledged so far:
$998
EDIT:
So for once I have some good news!
Recognized Developer and better known as member of Team Revolutionary ieftm seems to be interested in helping us with S-OFF!
Of course this means that he needs to get a phone in hand.
We can do this one of two ways.
We can get a volunteer to risk sacraficing their own device to get s-off. Keep in mind that the device will NOT be compensated if damaged or lost in the process and will be at your own risk! It will need to be shipped to Netherlands.
We can donate to ieftm so that he can pay the full price for the device. This is what I would recommend personally.
If you would like to donate directly to Team Revolutionary do so by clicking the link in ieftm's signature.

blast0id(ie: me) is good for at least $50
Until people can be respectful on this forum, I have decided to withdraw my S-Off pledge. If anyone else BESIDES Team Juopunutbear successfully delivers an S-Off exploit in a courteous and professional manner, then I will personally pledge $50 to them.
Have a nice day.
I'm also poor but I'll pledge $20 as of now.
But who knows, might get a fat bonus check in the future so pledge can only go up
krook6023 pledges $20
Dmunseyautotech- I will pledge 30

MildewMan pledges $100 for S-OFF. (keep in mind that if multiple people figure this out, it's $100 split amongst you )
Poor here also... But I can pledge $10.

there is a guy here wanting to donate his phone for the cause! get him! unlock that bootloader!
Nice that some one wants to give away a phone.
Too bad it's not a Photon........ thread re-opened
<MOD EDIT> at a couple of requests, the thread is re-opened. It seems the Electrify has no specific forum, and I'm told is very similar to the Photon. So until it can get it's own device specific forum, it can "piggy-back" in the Photon forum.

the phones are identical minus the 4g hardware. the 2 phones should in fact be in the same forum thread. separating them would not be the best idea.
ok... 1st off sorry moderator for having to reopen the thread.... wasnt trying to smack you in the face or anything..... so now that that is clleared. would somebody like to work with phone this guy has or know someone who would? this guy could really possibly help....
Mods let me know if this is allowed or not. I mean for this to be in the Android Software Development thread, not in the Amaze forums.
We owners of the HTC Amaze are looking for Devs to help bring a variety of ROMs to our devices. We've really only had modified stock roms on this phone, thanks to HTC.
So we've decided to put up a bounty thread in hopes of attracting developers to help us. It can be found over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749951
So far we have a bit of money up for grabs and the thread was only created today, so I know there will be more people that are willing to donate to the cause.
Linked thread has been straightened out and a lot more people are adding in amounts!
If the OP of the original thread wants it moved then they should report it to their forum moderator. Don't just post a new thread with a link.
Thread closed.
Anybody received this OTA yet or is this just hearsay?

Apparently we are not getting Sense 5 or 4.3 at all. This may be the end of the road for our Evo 4G LTE's. Really pisses me off considering this phone isn't even a year and half old. Also, I don't have an update until May 2014. HTC is making harder and harder for me to stay with them. I feel like this is just a "shut em up" update.
The update is out.

No point in making another thread regarding this update when one has already been made and is being discussed.

I just went to both the T-Mobile and Sprint forums, just for kicks, to see what they have to choose from. And what do I see, everything I want!!!! I'm so sad, why can't Verizon stop being douche bags and let us unlock our bootloaders!!!! Like htc, they log who had unlocked it so even if we revert to stock they still know we went through the unlocking process.
I saw and signed, the Verizon unlock bootloader petition, but that is just sending a very simple email to Samsung and Verizon, it's not getting in the public eye. What we need to do is create a petition with change . org and maybe challenge the current law that allows then to do this. I mean purchased this phone, it's our phone, we should be the deciders if our phones bootloader is unlocked or not.
I am going to check it out and research and start one. I believe if we hit 100,000 signatures the whitehouse must respond to it and we may win a battle the devs have been fighting for a very long time. I will be back so stay tuned, let's use this thread as a discussion thread, please don't close and lock this thread.
Thanks

Couple of points
I am going to try to sound as friendly as possible, but you know how online works, every thing is taken in a hostile way.
1- we have a thread with the same petition, that no re-reading your post says you have seen and signed it, its also a change.org petition too. Started by a member who I really respect, Brandonrz. We hit a lil over 650 sigs and it has been around for a long time. So not sure how another petition on the same site will generate more sigs.
2- its not your phone, more than half of it is subsidized by verizon. If you want your own phone, buy a DE phone. It comes in unlocked, for the full retail price. Tmobile users pay the full price of the phone, just spread out. Not sure how sprint subsidy works.
3- I really cant speak for mods, but from what I have seen, they don't respond well to " don't lock or close threads" they prefer those statements to be made in private messaging. Again, this is just a friendly advice, I am not a mod, and I cant speak for them.
4- one mod made a point before: XDA is not a petition site, its a development site. She/He was nice enough to let one petition thread stay, not sure if they will react the same in regard to this thread.
all the best .

In response to the quoted portions of the previous post;
#1- This is exactly right, there is an existing petition thread for this same exact issue, please do not duplicate existing threads.
#2- This is also true, however, I fully support the fact that carriers should not be allowed to hide open source software behind proprietary programs by means of a method termed Tivoization.
That being said, the Kernels for android were released under GPLv2, and this issue was not countered by the FSF until the release of GPLv3, effectively tying our hands. A petition might let them know you're angry about it, but they have every right under current law and licensing to laugh at you. And they are.
#4- You're absolutely right, I will not. Creating this second thread for the same purposes of the original serves no purpose and becomes redundant. While I can appreciate the passion displayed by the OP in regards to this matter, this thread is closed as a duplicate. Please be sure to read the Forum Rules in regards to posting.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
