[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Link_proxXP:
no, we mean the on/off screen ANIMATION, like an old tv !
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] zhuhang:
oh, u mean the animation like tv screen off.

my opinion it looks great, maybe the developer can remove it?

i will donate 50$ to the dev who root the htc flyer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
I got 20 on it. Would give more but I'm poor
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] raskal:
do you think would be cool to add it to XTC clip?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] loveboatcaptain:
hi raskal,

please add it to xtc clip if you can. that woud be a big step for me as a dev and to everyone who has a clip or know where to get clip service.

i´m nearly done with the flyer and want to give it back, cause google and htc wont keep there promisse to update the device as fast as possible to android 3.0.

with root and s-off it is a step near to get this before a possible or unpossible update will show up.

if you need something from the rom dump or else feel free to write me a pm.

i will keep the flyer until monday or tuesday. than i have to give it back, cause of 14 days test period. after that i have to see if i order it again or wait until those big buts will find a conclusion with those 7" devices and honeycomb.

but if you will support it with you xtc clip i will keep it and start developing and rom cooking for the device. else it will go back to o2 and i will wait for HTC´S 10.1" device or something else.

regards
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] crump13:

I'm in for $20.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ex69:
I do not know how the donations/bounties work. I would be happy to add $20 for the root. I am getting the feeling that the XDA community is the only thing that can save the flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] noord453:
20-50 euro

Clount me for the amount above-mentioned. The flyer must be able to make calls using the phone sim. I have an hearing problem and i want to use it connected via bt and my hearingequipment boosters. It is not doable to connect 2 devices 1 for phone and 1 for multimedia.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
The battle can begin...

Okay, I bought my Flyer today and the battle can begin, also I hope that I am to late because I haven't the time.

But I think that I have enough knowledge and experience to got the Flyer rooted. This mean that at the end of summer we have root rights or it will not be possible :D

But I hope that someone will be faster because I will not be the only dev for the flyer :eek: and I have not so much time... also summer begins.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
Thank you! I hope other devs will take you up on your challenge. No matter who finishes first, you deserve a special thanks for starting first! I love my flyer and having it rooted will be excellent.

BTW, what are the first things I should start learning if I want to be able to do work like this in the future?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
When I really start (Flyer is still boxed ;-), I will open a new thread and document there what I did.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] imranz:
IF I'm not mistaken, we need to S-Off the flyer first then it can be rooted. Am I right?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
That will be interesting. I know how to root my devices after someone comes up with the solution. But I would like to learn how to do what you are going to do--find and implement a root exploit. Or I'd like to learn about creating a custom ROM. I guess the first place to start is to learn how to compile AOSP... or really, the first place to start is to get more comfortable with Eclipse (I'm running Ubuntu and I normally use NetBeans). So I guess I know what I need to do for now...

Thanks for anything and everything you do in regard to rooting the Flyer! :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] FlyerUser98543:
If it still in box (or not updated yet). I think that it will be good idea add transparent proxy with access logging and some network sniffer between Flyer and internet when you start update it.

Then you maybe can find where Flyer get update files and download them to you computer. There can be some info which help in rooting.

Unfortunately I get this idea after I was updated my device so I can't test it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
Until know, I didn't check anything but it depends and must not. And I hope that it is not necessary because the steps to become S-Off are very risky.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] identities:
Well from distributor of HTC in my country, they said they can upgrade your flyer to Honeycomb with but.... (your stylus can not be used --> this is the power of the flyer). In addition for opening bootloader, HTC need at least 6 months for flyer (can be more or less). Oh well looks like I will wait for HTC blast after all.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
I agree that the Stylus support is what makes the Flyer so attractive. I would not want to lose that.

But the Blast isn't even real. That's not an HTC design/concept.

I would prefer to work with things that are real. For now, we just need a rooted Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deadlyheart4u:
okie, i got ma device and am working on it, your donations will help me a lot.... thanks a lot guys
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mrmad23:
Go for it then...good luck
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
General question:

Can someone tell me how the donations are usually done? Do we send our donations after root is achieved to the person who does it? Or do we send to someone who starts working on rooting the Flyer? What's the usual way people on XDA donate? On some sites I have seen that donations are pooled. I'm up for anything, just let me know what this community wants to do.

I will be extremely pleased to have root on the Flyer and I'm happy to donate! :)

BTW, I think we have two people working on rooting the Flyer now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kokyew:
I'll be happy to join the donation pool if someone can root the Flyer and enable phone calls
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
Let's just focus on rooting it first... The person who roots it may or may not be the same person who works on other features. It might be asking too much to ask someone to do both those things.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Other bounties I have seen on XDA, I believe the donaters just PayPal the money direct to the developer once they post the root. But maybe there are other ways its been done, as well. Just common sense, I think most of us would verify the root method works on your device before handing over the cash. Now if several people worked together, or credit was given to others for some of the work done, that would complicate the issue.

Another thing, bounties/donations are scattered/disorganized between this and the thread in the Developer subforum. It would be good if a mod could merge these 2 threads, and compile the donater names/amounts and total bounty in the first post (as I've seen on other bounty threads).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
Hey redpoint73, thanks for the feedback. That sounds OK with me. However, I'd like to make sure it is OK with the devs who have started working on rooting the Flyer.

I know that deadlyheart4u indicated the donations would help him. I'd like to be sure he's getting the help he needs to get the root done.

deadlyheart4u, can you give us some feedback? How is your work coming? What kind of help do you need? What are you expecting in terms of donations? Do you need some donations up front? Or can you wait until the root is complete, as redpoint73 suggested is the norm?

Personally, I don't want to be stingy with my donation. If you are already working on this, if you are confident you can finish it soon and that it will work, I am willing to make at least part of my donation now if that will help you.

The important thing here is that we get the Flyer rooted. I'd like to hear from anyone who is working on this about what help they need to get the job done.

Thank you!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
The two people I know of who have indicated they will work on rooting the Flyer are:

Elim

deadlyheart4u

It would be cool if both of you guys give us some feedback about how you would like us to do the donations. Thanks for working on this!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
To me, giving money before the work is complete is foolish. No offense to anyone working on root. But until its verified to work, any scam artist can say they are working on it and steal your money.

The other issue, is that its called a bounty for a reason. The money is supposed to motivate developers to finish the work promptly, before the "other guy" gets it. The money is not only a compensation for the work they have done, but also for doing it quickly. Because we would obviously all like to have root sooner rather than later. By giving them money before the job is done, you remove that motivator.

That's just my personal opinion. If others have seen it done in another way that works, please chime in.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
Surley. Don't trust anybody so long you don't see something which works. Not everbody here by xda have good behaviors...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
This is a good discussion. I want to understand what other people are thinking because I'm new at this.

But I also want to know what the devs need in order to get the job done. One thing they probably need is motivation. If we are being stingy with the donations, that might not be motivating.

Therefore, I am willing to give at least some money before root is accomplished (if I am convinced the person is capable and is not scamming me).

Devs, what's the status on this? What do you need? Motivation? Something else? How close are we to getting root on the Flyer?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
OK. Thanks for your feedback. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
I can only speak for myself and my motivation is the same to everyone here: to have root rights on my Flyer, so that's really under my control. And what I need is time and maybe build-up a team, to be faster.

Edit: Status is documented in my thread. I am stil at the beginning and build a little environment to got directly acces to the OS. Next step is temporaly root-access.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
With most things in life, paying before the job is done is a great way to kill motivation. This isn't being stingy, its being smart.

And most developers on here aren't in it for the money. Many of them do the work for enjoyment/satisfaction. And aside from time and effort, there is not really any sunk costs that need to be reimbursed, that I am aware. Assuming the developer has the device in question (device donations to developers with good reps is not unheard of).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bucklee:
Will Donate What I can.

I've been following carefully on getting Our Flyer Rooted, I will donate what I can to the first person to root the Device. However if there is something else they or anyone else can do to grow the HTC Flyer community will get my appreciation and whatever donation I can. Thanks to all the Dev in advance.

deadlyheart4u

I tried to post in the other thread in the dev forum where deadlyheart4u is claiming to have the flyer almost rooted and asking for donations BEFORE his work is verified but I can't because I am a new member so if someone can post this in that thread, that may be helpful.

If you look at deadlyheart4u's posts, he's showing up in random threads asking for donations but I don't see any work he has done. He is claiming he is almost complete but he needs funds to continue his research (very fishy!!!) so I looked up his name in his signature and found this interesting information. I can't post a link since I am new so do a search on his name in Google and look at result #4

Unlike Elim who spent a lot of time making a post documenting what he is doing, deadlyheart4u is just randomly showing up in the thread and asking for donations. I would stress not to give anyone money until work is verified. By doing so, you discourage legitimate developers from working on it and take away the reward they rightfully deserve.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kentosf:
Since I can't actually post the link, here is some from the webpage I am referring to by scamchecker:

"This guy is a scam artist please DO NOT SEND HIM money he will claim that he is an honest business man and he is very deceitful, he claims that he has a company and employees on staff in reality he is a one man show.

This guy is scum it has been 30 days since I’ve sent him $450 on a project that was supposed to be completed in 1-2 days and I have yet to see any results."

Also, read this post (since it is an internal link I believe I can post it) where deadlyheart4u is claiming to have an update for the Xperia X10 and asking for money to release it, then getting into trouble with the mods for doing so. Then after everyone asks him for screenshots and calls it a scam, he disappears.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8432369

I'm not on compulsive rampage against the guy, just people were mentioning they were going to donate to him to encourage him and I hate to see the money end up in the wrong place. As far as I am concerned, Elim is the only legit developer working on this.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
I suppose I could probably convert a Windows batch file into a Linux script without too much trouble (as long as the batch file isn't calling native Windows executables). Or I could borrow a Windows laptop, etc.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MountainX:
Wow, how did I miss that??? I've been following this thread for months and several weeks ago it just went quiet. I was afraid people lost interest in rooting the Flyer. Instead, it was me that was in the dark.

I'm searching for instructions now, but so far I did not find them. Where can I find the steps for S-off and getting root access? Thanks

Thanks to everyone who made this happen.

I installed SU and busybox. Is there any reason to change ROMs yet? I'm OK with the stock ROM actually, unless there is a compelling reason to upgrade.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ex69:
Depends on what version you were running. There is a nice speed bonus (at least in the notes application) over the 1.0ish base version. If you are running 1.3ish or 2.0ish, as of right now there is no huge reason. Some bloatware removed.

The root method you quoted requires S-Off. Your Flyer is probably S-On, unless its a development version. That is why its failing.

You are very late for this train. This thread is outdated and should stay dead.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopepope:
Hey guys, I did try searching, but if I missed a post please link.

Problem is this: Randomly at the beginning of the week 3G stopped working, and along with that (probably unrelated, but never-the-less...) the phone, when plugged into any computer, would not be recognized ("Unrecognized Device" and under device status is it would say "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"). I did fix the 3G issue, but the phone still won't connect to any computer.

I've tried on computers with and without samsung drivers, with the phone both in and out of debug mode, usb storage both on and off. Currently on my PC it sees that it is a samsung device, but it has the yellow triangle, signifying that it still cannot start the device. Cannot ADB into it obviously, and cannot even get ODIN to see it when in download mode. Yes, I've also tried 2 different cables.

Using Windows 7 on all the computers I've tried it on (don't own anything older unfortunately/fortunately) and currently using ComRom 2 RC 2 PBJ (though this started on ComRom 1.3, and have tried the OTB kernel as well) thoughts?

Thanks guys!
