Also, it looks like C0mbe is using the AT&T variant G900A, but his pledge is being counted towards VZW. Not trying to nitpick though!

They have been rolling in pretty consistently. I knew we wanted this, but wasn't expecting well over 4k in less than 24hrs. If anything, this is certain to garner more attention, so its great to see the headlines popping up.

$4275 in right about 22 hours, to be exact.

Lets keep it going! Ill check for linkto's over in the generic S5 forum, as well as ATT variant. We could use any posts over there pointing this way.

If anyone wants to point me in the right direction, I am open to suggestions. I was thinking about taking a look at the leaked Verizon Note 3 and Verizon Galaxy S4 KitKat firmware, as it has no security and is completely rootable, and try to find something in that kernel that is vulnerable in our kernal. Would that maybe work?

Yep, looks like it. My apologies - as these were flooding in at the beginning, differentiation had not been decided and I missed the sig. I was assuming at that point that anyone not specifying ATT in the vzw forum was vzw... Now that this has expanded, Ill keep a more careful eye.

Thanks for the spot

Just wanted to say that you're doing an amazing job with the thread and keeping everything up to date, thank you good sir! Also a big thank you to everyone here who has pledged, I have good faith that our efforts will pay off. We are staring to get a good amount of publicity. In fact, Google "Galaxy S5 root" and this thread is the very first thing that comes up- via Droid-Life.

I have a feeling that if this may surpass our S4 bootloader bounty (that was never reached and stopped at $5,120), we may start to get a nice bit of attention here from the right folks. :good:

This tool reached far beyond just the Verizon S5 community to all over the world. If each person who used it donated $1 a piece, there would be way more than just our pledges to count, with or without the large pledges.

Since I sit at a computer all night, tonight I'm going to add and make a list of all the people who paid. If the OP doesn't already do so. I'm curious myself as to how much we're up to.

Sent from my VW S5 using your mom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
Keep in mind Dennis that even though someone pledged they still are not obligated to pay (as crappy as that sounds). Yes we could keep track of those that didn't and shun them. However there are a few things you must keep in mind.

These pledges were made a while back. People might of paid off a few bills since then and need to wait for another paycheck before donating (like me)

Also. Just because root came out does NOT mean it needs to be paid right this second.

There are people out there that don't even own this phone yet. When they finally buy one and decide to root, I'm sure they will donate (even if it's months down the road)

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

Pledge amount: $100

Donated half my pledge: $50

Confirmation number: 80363442KW918213P.

Will donate the rest next paycheck.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
Also keep in mind there may be those who pledged, paid, but never publicized it. As interesting as this may be, there is no way to be positive who actuality paid or didn't pay. Some may have even said they paid, but actually didn't.

We shouldn't stress ourselves worrying if someone else paid. We should have satisfaction knowing we upheld our part of the bargain and were honest to our word. Turning this into a witch hunt will turn ugly real fast.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
Well put
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Demiurge7:
Yeah, I am pretty torn on whether to start down the path of confirming pledges. Given the way things played out negatively in the past - and the thin-line this thread has always been riding - I don't want to create any extra troll/flame fuel going forward... and certainly don't want to encourage arguments or unnecessary problems. Additionally, I was going to do this under the assumption I would have some sort of contact with the developer who releases the method for confirmation purposes- Geohot has not responded to me, and I do not expect him to. Getting a list of pledges received would most likely be very difficult, given the enlarged scope of devices this exploit covers.

Ill revisit this in the future, if things go well and the thread remains open. I do encourage everyone who pledged to post their confirmations. This is a positive thing, IMO. Thanks again to everyone for the help, and for understanding the position... I would just rather it stay open for everyone to post their confirmations, rather than going through confirmations with a high-risk of it just getting closed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dlscott1111:
A counterpoint to that. We need some means to keep track of those who are dependable/solid pledgers.

It's not necessarily that we are shunning non-payors. But it sure would be nice on the next bounty to have pledgers listed who have a good track record of paying.

Think it would be good for us in that a dev could take some comfort in the fact that he can look at a list of dependable payors and realize he will be paid at least by them.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Demiurge7:
I absolutely agree, however you can already tell the path this could go down. It would ultimately serve little purpose if the thread gets closed entirely in the middle of it.

I am not saying this is off the table, as I do agree with you. I am just seeing how it goes posting confirmations individually. If it can stay respectful and clean, I can start marking and inquiring with those who pledged. I also agree with the sentiment, that it is only fair to give everyone time to meet their commitment.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
The only way to get accurate information is for bounty claimant to respond with who did/didn't pay up. But even then, in the event there is a crooked dev... (not saying geohot is..). All I'm saying is there is no way to be 100% accurate which is what can, and inevitably will, lead to arguments and other issues.

All bounty's are a risk the developer will have to weigh the costs of, unless backed by either the company involved (in this case, XDA) or by some form of written contractual agreement.

To show my good faith, here's the tracking number for the donation I made on June 15:	50252670UT439794J. I also sent via PM to geohot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] dlscott1111:
Agree, no way to 100% guarantee a bounty.

My point was we can try to maximize future bounty payouts by noting/recognizing those who have kept their pledge in the past, that's all.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] netman192:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
my list wouldn't really be a list to either to bash, or show people who haven't rather basically a list to see what we're up to! I know some people probably donated and didn't post about it which is fine. I just wanted to see what we're at for a total for who did! And just say thanks to all those that did donate!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
As much as I hate to say it, and in no way am I saying this as a moderator, merely my personal opinion, tracking those who did/did not pay serves no real purpose other than highlighting those who haven't paid. While its a nice thought to see what the bounty achieved, there are simply too many variables to account for. Pledges who moved to other devices, haven't logged back in, etc... If you wish to do it out of personal curiosity, have at it, but I don't think it's something that needs to be public. Jm2c.

Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
I have been (for last 80 minutes) compiling a list of people who did. If you would not like me to post that once I am done, I will not. I had no intentions of highlighting people who haven't paid at all. Frankly I don't care if someone pledged and (for reasons you specified) didn't pay up. I just wanted to highlight the people who did pay (even the $1 people) as a big THANK YOU to Geohot for his time and hard work. He said himself this will determine if he ever does anything for the future for us. If anything it's more to highlight the people who said most people wouldn't pay out, and that the Dev who achieved this wouldn't get anything close to the 18k bounty.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Longcat14:

so if we round to 7k and was 4 days (8 hour shift style) that would be 32hrs which would mean he made over 200$ an hour.. 218 to b exact.. thats pretty damn good id say lol surely he got enough to buy some goodies and cover retail value of his phones etc.. i couldve swore i saw it took him 4 hrs to exploit it but could be wrong.. plus time to make the tr apk and what not n im sure hes still refining the apk to make it work with more devices so hes definately still working.. either way im glad he got something that wasnt small and hopefully its enough to keep him willing to help us in future endeavors!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
And that's just basically who announced they paid their pledge...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
The 7k was only the donations I found that posted the amount. That doesn't include people who didn't publicly say anything nor the 48 people who donated but didn't put the amount there. I'm sure that equals to a couple more grand. Remember, 4k alone was some *hacker* guy, so if that pledgewas taken away it'd be 14k and I think with these 48 people equals almost to a total of 10k which is almost 75% of the bounty which is what I guessed would pay out.:)
