please just delete all references to it, and hand out appropriate infractions, I'm donating another 75EU ($102) right now (edit: Confirmed: Transaction ID # 4DE555158M5014742), so hopefully a phone can be purchased soon!

yes, please, those suggesting the illegitimate activities should receive appropriate infractions or at least a warning and their posts edited/deleted (deleted preferably).

Which has a huge part on all of this. My employers are aware of my actions here and wouldn't doubt that they are members themselves just to read up on this. Hint: Not everyone that has a membership here on XDA are interested in rooting and modding their devices. Some just read just to know what is going on behind the scenes (underground if you will) and I will not be caught encouraging or promoting any illegal activities. It's not professional here on XDA or in my actual profession itself. In regards to the posts encouraging those activities I will let them sit for a day or two and make an example out of the OP in the meanwhile to show everyone that there is ZERO tolerance for it. Afterwards they are soft deleted (which means mods still have access to them but they are invisible and inaccessible to other members.) I will soft delete them just in case I need to reference them again later. Fair enough?

Another $102 geez dude. You probably make more than I do. LOL!

Unfortunately I haven't received any update from Team Revolutionary so I have no idea where we stand donation wise. :(

I'll just say the last 3 weeks + have been quite a blessing... I'm in a service based industry and am 100% commission paid... so my pay can fluctuate greatly, I'm just happy that for once when something not-so-good happened (my G2 dying) I actually had some money to correct the issue (buy an Amaze) and put a little towards the future of my new device as well =) Just happy I am able to do so, and I'm not expecting anything, just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping =)

TEAM WHO?

Hey guys Whiskey103 just pointed something out that was a certain PALM FACE moment for me.

We need to set something straight immediately!

For s-off we need to start using TEAM REVOLUTION

ARY

.

Not Team Revolution. Two totally different groups.

It's too easy to get confused and misinterpret details.

Sorry Team Revolution. Forgive us.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shadow Samurai:
So this whole time we are asking the wrong group for s-off?!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
No. I've been talking to the right people it's just we've been referring to them in discussion under a different name.

What about this post??? This very kind individual said he will donate his device?

Just quoting it to make sure it didn't get buried
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Just read the PM:

So there you have it.

If you want to donate funds then click on his username, then find it in his signature.

If you want to or loan out your device then send him a private message to make the arrangements.
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
hey guys, I offered to donate a sum of money to madmaxx82(4ext developer) to port that recovery for our device, he declined to accept the money (I will still donate however) At any rate, I greatly prefer his touch recovery over any of the other options. He didn't give an exact ETA but he did say "Maybe(!)" in the next week... I know this is a little OT, but just wanted to keep your hopes up that development for this device is FAR from dead!!!

Pays for shipping or the amaze itself? If.its just shipping let me know how much, ill pay for shipping but ill need a tracking # so I know you actually shipped it :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
I would back this up, but I would also ask it be shipped insured, and as soon as tracking number is in hand and confirmed to be a good tracking number I would also throw you $20 for your troubles (on top of the shipping/insurance cost)

let us know...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
I'm sure if.you either post the tracking number on the thread I'll get a few people to donate other wise pm me with the tracking # and how much it costs

As an TMO USA Employee I can't quote the price of my benefit pricing on a open blog, but i'm able to get a brand new Amaze 4g for a little more than half of the price of suggested retail $599
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
Ok I think I see we're this post is going. I feel like we should either stick to donating to team revolutionary for a phone, or just ship one of your own if you feel compelled to do so. If someone wants to ship their own amaze; lots of people, including my self will be more than willing to pay for shipping. But if what you are shooting for are donations to get a phone to send to revolutionary, I think that's a terrible idea. Then we will just have a bunch of donations going everywhere instead of just having the s-off pledges and the donation to get revolutionary a phone....jeez I miss binary over here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Me too
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
Me three for sure
[HTC Amaze 4G] lgtsanev:
Why would paying this guy for a cheaper phone is a "terrible idea"? If you are so into the idea of someone sending over their own device, then why dont you send over your own, I can help out with the shipping, others can contribute as well, how 'bout that? :D

However, I think this T-Mobile guy should personally contact team revolutionary so they can buy the phone from him, a little over half price sounds like around 300 to me, which I think Ive read somewhere it had been donated already...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
Yea that's a good idea for revolutionary to contact him and have the donations to revolutionary go to buying the phone from T-Mobile guy. All I am saying is that if there are to many people asking for donations to send a device to little money will go to too many places. Plus we don't even know if this guy is for real. So use your common sense. I think we should only be donating money/phones DIRECTLY to revolutionary. Allthough I have no issue donating shipping costs to someone willing to send a phone
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
I don't think Team Revolutionary can get the phone in Netherlands as it is a US only phone and I don't think the pledge is helping either, as this pledge is not getting the phone to team revolutionary.

One solution which I could think of is someone from US should collect the money, buy the phone and ship it to Netherlands. We need a trusted member like Binary? or some mod here who could volunteer for that.

I think a new amaze will cost ~$500 here or less than that via aoakes. We can work out the specifics with him, if we get this thing going. USPS express mail EMS with tracking number will cost $38.

Something like that was done over here by member snesboston to send the US only phone samsung focus to team DFT in Russia and now they have fully unlocked WP7 phone with custom boot-loader and ROMS thanks to Cotulla

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1217982

Its already been 6 months since this phone came and before the devs and people start losing interest in it and move to newer HTC One series phone, I think we also need something like that to get things moving here.

Also people should understand although team revolutionary can't promise the s-off but with their past work I think it warrants them to have a crack at it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] sanchitgrover:
To all, this is a request to dont give any donations to them currently .. Let someone talk to them , then we collect money in a paypal account buy a phone and then send it to them..

There is no point doing this kinda stuff .. Because they can think the donations you are sending them can be due to some of their current work..

I REPEAT AGAIN NO DONATIONS..

I WANT ALL OF YOU GUYS TO SUGGEST SOME TEAMS WHO HAVE DONE THIS JOB SUCCESSFULLY.. IF YOU WANT I CAN CHECK SOME FORUMS , SUGGEST SOME DEVELOPERS THEN WE HAVE A POLL... TO WHOM SHOULD WE GUYS OPT FOR !! WHAT SAY..??
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
First off if team revolutionary successfully got s-off the pledge will go to them. Secondly there is such a thing as eBay, amazon, other online places or even stores in the Netherlands that would sell an amaze I mean this isn't their first time at the rodeo. I think every one needs to stop making this so complicated and either 1.) Donate to revolutionary to get an amaze, (read and u'll see there is a specific way to make sure its for our phone).2.) Make a pledge.3.) Ship your phone...it's not that complicated guys

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

I have created a poll.. To take the development of this phone in some direction.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Mafioso:
And how do you think team revolutionary will get s-off without the phone to get that pledge money ? Are you suggesting they buy the phone themselves first and then have a crack at it hoping to get the pledge money :rolleyes:

I don't think that is gonna happen, as most of these teams have members who do this for hobby and interest and not as a business that they would first invest their money and then hope to get some profit from it.

This problem is further compounded since they don't get this phone in Netherland, so even if they have the money, its still a big task and risk to get it shipped from a US guy on eBay.

That leaves us with third of your option, donate your own phone for the community. I don't think most users here on xda are rich enough to do such a big thing.

A realistic expectation would be a small donation from many members here to raise the required $600 needed. We need someone to co-ordinate this donation, buy the phone and ship it to them and hope they can get it done. If the required $600 can't be raised in a pre-determined time (say 1 month) then the money should be refunded by the person who is coordinating the donation. Its the same what snesboston did in the other thread i posted.

I would have gladly volunteered and coordinated the donation, buy the phone and ship it to them, but I'm not a well known member here, so I don't know if people are going to trust me that is why I suggested some mod or a well known member take responsibility, but I can if people here want and the MODS are ok also with it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
I think we just kinda lost out with this phone. Seems like we were a beta test, or they just pushed it out in order to put something out there to go against competition. The only thing we got going I think is ICS when there is an official release that's about it, I'll probably get HTC one phone when it comes out and hope for the best or wait a little then get it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:
Wow that's an optimistic attitude, and then if you just bail out then we lose more users. I honestly don't know why everyone is so fired up about the one, because the USA version is just a dual core 1.5GHz device, just like the amaze with a better camera? And some other minimal features with a 700 dollar price tag.

It's just a glorified amaze, it's like HTC souped up the amaze a tiny bit and pushed it out knowing all these people would rush right out and get one.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
i really dont think you understand what i am saying. there is a seperate paypal donation that goes to revolutionary so they can buy an amaze. what i am saying is people should just donate to revolutionary directly so they can go out and buy one themselves. the S-off pledges are mre of an incentive and not a guarantee. my third option is there just for the sake of being there. i am not saying someone should definetly send their amaze. what i am saying is those are the only three options that make any sort of sense.

here is a segment copied and pasted from the OP:

"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."

^^ I read that buddy, but this way isn't effective at all. Also has someone talked to ieftm how much money does he need to buy the phone or weather he can buy it in Netherland at all or not ?

With proper co-ordination and tracking, it gives user the picture that we are making some progress on things..we have this much money collected, we need this much more, please contribute...its nice to know all this..

I would very well have contributed $20 if such a thing was going on already, but right now I don't know how much money is being already collected or weather the money contributed would be put to any use (I understand its a donation, but still If i donate money for a project, atleast my expectation is that project gets started as completion is unsure). I put in refund clause especially because of that only..if we don't collect enough money to get the job started then there is no loss to anyone...

The pledge thing works fine, if the many developers have the phone already but for the Amaze i'm afraid not much of low level developers are out there :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jms122589:
good point. i sent a PM to ieftm and asked how much donation money he has received to go for an Amaze, and if it is even possible to get one in the Netherlands. ill post his response if/when i get it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] dmunseyautotech:
I already donated and not just for the amaze. I donated for all the effort they have given us for all the devices they have got s-off for. Let them do there thing and donate for there efforts. Put for amaze device and S-off development in the comment portion of your donation. They know what there doing look how many devices they support already.

Everyone needs to go back and read pages 8-10 Binary has already been talking with the revolutionary team and we already have half the money donated.

It's all greed for the latest thing guys. We all want the latest tech and don't want to wait for it. In the old days, you'd have a cell phone for years. Now it seems we buy a new one every 6 months! You don't have to have a stupid quad core phone in your pocket. I can't imagine what the battery life of that would be anyway...2 hours? LOL. If we could all just keep the damn phones we have for a few years, then maybe HTC would stop flooding the market with new crap every few months causing hunger pangs in all of us "loser techies." I think I just might keep my Amaze for several years and my wife can keep her Sensation until some totally new technology comes out that blows away anything on the market. Right now, all we get is another core or two, more memory and another 2 year contract! My Amaze is "Amazing!" I don't know...a "One" doesn't sound that amazing. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] misfit61871:

Pretty good points, but it's still my opinion HTC pooped on us, if you don't believe that well everyone's entitled to there own opinion :) It's true if everyone didn't rush out and get the latest HTC phones maybe there wouldn't be so much in there pocket, but how many people can really afford it anyway? I usually always end up getting the latest HTC, I just love the phones It's addicting, though I can honestly say it is a waste of money and could be used elsewhere. And I do remember the days where you would keep a phone for a long time, and phones could go days without charge heh crazy how the times have changed, the HTC one is definitely a phone I will keep my eyes on and see how it progresses before making a choice, development would definitely be something I keep and eye on. I mean true 700 price tag for a bump of an upgrade is ridiculous. Seems what HTC has been doing lately. But a lot more people are catching on. With CM9 around the corner for this phone or OTA update I could possibly keep this phone but I have a lot if options I still have my sensation too I could sell.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Right... Don't need anything from you... After viewing your last days worth of posts, you are a scammer, you scammed someone on a phone in one thread, you own a sgs but you are in an amaze development thread with nothing to offer but these irrelevant comments. If u hate xda so much, then get the fu** out of here. Why waste your time with something u hate so much? As someone told u in the other thread u got flamed out of, nobody cares about your feelings.
