DONORS LIST: (who had already donated to unrevoked)
(updated atleast once a day)---the donors list here is sorted according to date.
--20 USD----------by angelshonnny(Anton Paich)----15th apr 2011 @ 11:22 GMT
--25 USD----------by dmullaney------------------------15th apr 2011 @ 19:00 GMT
TOTAL SUM = 45 USD
TARGET presently will be "as much as we can" on our way to 1 WILDFIRE.
...............................................................................................................
the donors can now check out their names in the "Full Donor List" of the donation page of unrevoked, where u had actually donated. *****remember the names here are sorted in alphabetical order*****
check out the "Full Donor List" here: http://action.eff.org/site/TeamRais..._type&team_id=1570&show_amount=SUM&fr_id=1040
and the parent link of it here: http://action.eff.org/site/TR?team_id=1570&fr_id=1040&pg=team
...............................................................................................................
---angelshonnny-------updated in "Full Donors List"
---dmullaney-----------updated in "Full Donors List" -- total count there = 103 (on 15th apr)
** just added "total count" to let u differentiate between the wildfire users (frm here) and others donating to UNREVOKED (EFF).
** "total count" gives u the total number of all people who donated so far to UNREVOKED (EFF).
TOTAL COUNT (as on 21st apr 2011 @ 01:00 GMT) = 103
let us not forget telling THANKS to all the donors who are supporting this.
THREAD UPDATES:( + thread rules)
------smaller amounts by many people are more preferred OVER larger amounts by fewer people. called DIVISION OF LABOUR. Come on guys, go for atleast smaller amounts. let us share the work.
------Some of us might be thinking like "how long do we donate like this". The answer to that question should be given by unrevoked itself. I personally don't have any contact info of them. hope they have seen us here. i know that every donor makes contribution, thinking that the total amount will get a new wildfire to unrevoked. It will be nice if they respond.
So, let us all expect that unrevoked team makes some official TWITTER announcements regularly or even after getting a wildfire. they just need to respond about the status of wildfire.
------Let us see, if this process works, we can think a seperate donation account. Its not fair to think of it now.
R1------Please read the entire thread carefully. Understand the purpose of the thread. Don't get confused. Watch out, i have added the "donation page link" of unrevoked at the top.
R2------please post ur feedbacks and comments guys. And let me know what do u think.
R3------Donate to unrevoked with a willing heart. Donations will never be mandatory.
just see this link what it says in the FAQs:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3
PHP:
QUESTION: I found this software useful, and I would like to donate to the team!
ANSWER: Thank you for your support. At this time, the team behind unrevoked3 does not accept donations; but we highly encourage our users to donate to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The EFF performs the important role of standing up for our digital liberties, including the liberties to reverse-engineer devices that we own. If you are able, please consider making a contribution to them so that they can continue to perform this valuable service.
UNREVOKED TWITTER UPDATES: (since january 1st 2011)
twitter link : http://twitter.com/#!/unrevoked
facebook link: http://www.facebook.com/unrevoked.team
We're always keeping an eye out for ways to root the new Wildfire devices. No news yet - we'll post here when we have info.
13 Apr 2011
We've started keeping a list of root-friendly devices for consumers. Tweet us reports of devices: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/root_friendly
12 Apr 2011
on 8th april, unrevoked responded via FACEBOOK like below:
I just wish I had better news!
The problem is that none of us actually own a Wildfire right now (and most of us have been busy-ish with school and/or work, and haven't hard a chance to do much unrevoked stuff in months).
Oh, and for those of you interested, we released source for an exploit in 2.2: https://github.com/unrevoked/zysploit (currently used in 3.)
18 Mar 2011
@Melvin2502 We have to use a different exploit for the Wildfire - they fixed the one we used in the latest code. Keep an eye here for news.
21 Jan 2011
Maybe good news for people with HTC Wildfire. We're looking at it. (Also maybe good news for people with EVO Shift 4G sooner or later.)
10 Jan 2011
unrevoked 3.32 (This Time I Mean It Edition) released for Aria. No need to reroot if already rooted. No update for Wildfire; sorry.

I would donate if unrevoked would actually promise to work on the wf but so far they have said nothing
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Have you got a mail adr.? then i'll ask if they are willing....
I'll donate $10 via paypal no problem! ...... hopefully we get enough people!
It should be clear though! Will it be a reward open to all? not to be disrespectfull but are unrEVOked the only people who can do this?
I posted before, we can donate a phone with this money and the risk is the phone is bricked and we are back to the start, no phone to test and no money.
Just my 2 cents ..... but this is a good idea which I hope moves in the right direction.
The guys at unrEVOked have done a great job so far and I'm sure they will do their best to find a solution for wildfire users....and yes there is always the risk of the phone getting bricked.
Those who dare.....
How can we let them know what we've started?????

we cant expect unrevoked to promise us. firstly we should remember that they are giving the software for us freely. they are just relying on the donations, which are also not mandatory.
yes they kept quiet all these months and it the mistake made by them. atlast few days back they responded that they dont have wildfire to experiment with. this makes us to think about the donations. presently they are responding to wildfire requests and it is a good sign. we can expect them to root wildfire in the coming near days.
if u see their IRC CLIENT webpage, there is something written on the top, which is
DONOT ASK FOR BUZZ ROOT.
which means that they knew the demand of wildfire root
yesterday they have given this on twitter,
We're always keeping an eye out for ways to root the new Wildfire devices. No news yet - we'll post here when we have info.
18 hours ago
new wildfires in the sense wildfire with froyo hboot 1.01 (and not the wildfire s). who expects them to root WILDFIRE S (official gingerbread) in a present situation like now which is not even released till now.
so unrevoked are looking for each and every oppurtunity to root wildfire. they knew the demand of wildfire root. check out their facebook page for the wildfire requests made to them.
LINK TO THEIR IRC CLIENT:
go to the following link and see FAQs / where can i get support
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3
PHP:
QUESTION:Where can I get support?
ANSWER:As an experiment, we'd like to redirect users to our IRC channel for support. If you have an IRC client already, connect to irc.freenode.net, channel #unrevokedtest – if you don't, then that's OK; you can use Freenode's web IRC client. We'd love to hear from you! Also, the wonderful folks from #unrevokedtest have written up an excellent wiki chock full of guides and help for EVO users – well worth a visit.
the direct link will be: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=unrevokedtest
THEY WILL SOON ROOT WILDFIRE. LETUS BE LITTLE PATIENT AND CONTRIBUTE TO THEM.

i have got no mail adress of them. PROGRAMMERS like unrevoked wont just distribute their mail adresses. i doubt if u search the net for a complete day, even then u may not find it.
u cannot get their mail adress unless u know someone in their team, or someone in common to u both.
we need not ask them whether they are willing to root wildfire or not. we just need to check out their twitter, facebook etc profiles regularly.
they already updated their status on wildfire. they are willing to work on it.
remember wildfire is in the list of supported devices by unrevoked.
they will do that once they get a wildfire. if once they have got it, i hope then only it will be a matter of few days, and not weeks and months. they will make use of every oppurtunity for wildfire root.

thanks for ur feedback.
i know many people are fearing about the phone getting bricked.
yes, suppose if we have made up the money, donated them, they purchased a new wildfire to experiment. then bricked. if this happens, its really unfortunate. but i believe that they will work more carefully as they know the present situation. if the phone gets bricked our individual contributions wont go useless. but we need to wait for longer time. As they can return the phone to service center with some expenses.
and let us all think positively in this matter. we have waited for over 4 months and there is no hope for us except unrevoked. so think positively instead of waiting silently for someone to root the phone. lets hope it will be done

Im creating and updating a fresh list of donors. A little bit of confusion out there. People are thinking that this is a thread for those who r willing to donate. But it is not like that. The donors list is for those who had already donated to unrevoked. So im starting a fresh donors list again.
hope im very clear now. im clear even before. and now, i even added the donation link of unrevoked to the thread. SO I HOPE THIS CONFUSION WILL NOT REPEAT AGAIN.
I suggest u to read the entire thread again.
and if u had already donated to unrevoked, please post the details again, so that i can add ur name with a fresh start.
apologies for inconvinience.
any suggestions, comments from any members are widely accepted.

Agree
Same question here
What is going to make if all here is for free?
This forum is not for making money, is for sahreing knowledge, help others and enjoy the FREE ROM´s and apps from the real Devs.
If I´m donating will be to this site!
Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.

Who says that you'll really give the money to WorldVision? And who says that you'll actually develop the application? ...
DHA Major,
This seems like a very good idea, ie people donate to a worthy cause and they get a development back via you. You have several problems to overcome though to make this happen:
1) Credibility - people need to be convinved of your technical abilities and your ability to deliver.
2) Honest - you already have someone questioning whether the money will go to the cause. Not sure how you address this.
3) Apathy - Sadly a lot of people enjoy having things for free while not making any form of financial contribution. If you look through some of the threads on here from a while back you will see that some even demand things get developed and delivered even though developers are given their time, effort and technical abilities for free (search through some of the Schaps threads on XDA to see what I mean).
It might be a good start for you to develop and release an application for us to see what you can do (sorry, I have not been on here for a while so if you have already developed and released an app on here without me seeing it then that's great). Once that is in place then you need to find some way of ensuring that people donate and that there is evidence that the donations are heading off to the charity as expected.
I applaud your idea; just not sure how you get around some of the problems highlighted above.
Good luck.

Update#1: As of 8/19/2010 I will no longer be updating the thread with people who wish to contribute to the bounty as it has gotten to be quite a few people! As of right now I think the bounty is 450$+ but dont know for sure. Anyone who does in fact wish to donate can still do so, but instead of pledging on the thread why not send it directly to the developer!
I will still be updating this thread with any new information and should anyone want me to post something for them a quick PM to me will have you whatever you need! I would like to thank everyone for all their hard work testing, reporting bugs, and to the developers for programming such amazing applications for us!
Update#2: There are now two overclocking applications made by two amazing developers!
The first application (which has seen many changes and is considered by many to be the most stable) is iwfratz's "OCT Tool" which automagically(see what i did there?) dynamically overclocks your Rhodium( I believe this supports Rhodium only) and also allows you to set your preferred frequency!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7463284&postcount=162
The second application called "Msm7kCpuSpeed" , released by NetRipper( the same developer who overclocked the HTC HD2 Qualcomm 1Ghz Snapdragon processor) was the first application to be released and is a working (with limitations) overclocking tool for most devices that run the MSM7K Qualcomm chipset (Rhodium included) this application isnt as stable as it SOD's(look it up if you dont know what it means!) upon device wakeup most of the time, but some have reported being able to overclock their device higher with this application as compared to OCT Tool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7181179
Credit to both iwfratz and NetRipper for making these amazing applications and let them know your appreciation by either donating or just telling them you appreciate their work!
I know that I speak for myself and many others here on the XDA forums when I say we love pushing our devices to their full potential! So in that regard I would like to propose the collection of a bounty for the first developer to produce a fully working overclock for Windows Mobile!
If you would like to donate to this bounty please put the amount you would like to pledge! (And please, serious pledge's only! If you dont have the money than please just support this and spread the word! Thanks!) Any amount is appreciated! Remember that the money will be sent via paypal directly to the developer once this project is completed!
Now lets get this started XDA!!!

* Any overclocking utility should be verifiable through benchmarking and stable by at least approximately a minimum of 20% overclock. (623 mhz)
$25 for overclock
$25 from me
i have the desire atm but would like to be the touch pro2 back in use all i can afford is $5 via paypal. so you have my support

$25
i'll donate $25 if we can make this happen.
If someone can create a fully working overclock app, that speeds up the TP2 and keeps it stable, usable, and not draining the battery super fast, I'll donate 10$!
If this succeeds, I can dish out at least $10. (Potentially more.)
Ah man someone should take up the offer from these people and try to develope one!
20 bucks.
I'll add 20 dollars via PayPal to anyone that can make an overclocker for the Rhodium that works as well as the ones for the Kaiser and the first Touch Pro. 700+ stable is worth 20 easy.
At least $10; provided it works reasonably well, possibly more.
Would anyone like to help me. I'm trying to raise money for the developers that are directly making Android happen for the HD2.
I would like to be able to post their Paypal Donation links next to each of their names in my blog post and start trying to spread this around the Internet. If not the actual donation button then maybe I can post a link to an xda post with their donation button.
Here is the page I made for this(please copy and paste as I can not yet post links): h t t p : // androidontmobilehd2.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/money-bomb-for-hd2/
I need people to help me get all their donation links together and permission from each to use them. And I also need help to make sure that I have every deserving developer in the list.
Thanks
*edit*
I'm building the list here too so that xda members have it for quick refrence.

developers that wanted to be donated to have provided links to their paypal donation...dont really see the point of what your doing...sounds more like your trying to make a scam or something
wow you people really are hating on this guy or girl.
I don't see ANYTHING that would make this a scam. he/she even offers to send you to each developers own xda page to donate if you don't believe the links actually go to the real developers. I would suggest having the developers themselves reply here with a donate link so no one can doubt.
The poor guy/girl just wants to help the people that deserve it. And why do you assume the developers won't want the money??? are you insane? "If they wanted donations they would ask for it" well maybe they're to humble to ask for money! They may not think they deserve it but if I could I'd drop a dump truck full of cash on their doorstep, like it or not! lol
If you're to much of a d**k to want to donate to a good cause then just leave this thread.
I for one would love to encourage and reward the people who will one day bring me a 100% andriod/linux OS on my HD2. That is why I HAVE donated what small amount I could to the developers and will do so anytime I can.
P.S. to the people who will invariably say I am in on this so called "scam" you can ask TAEL or NRGZ28, they'll tell you I do/give as much as I can as often as I can and ask for nothing in return. also see that little star near my avatar that means I have donated to XDA for their part in the awesomeness, maybe some of you haters could try that?

Thank you, I'm glad to see that someone actually gets it. I didnt want to waste my time responding to people with negative comments. I get really tired of all the greedy and ungrateful people that just take and expect that it is a developer's job to provide them software. I'm sure that they have no idea what development hours cost when you have to purchase them. I know first hand that they are not cheap. And I am also vested in the fact that I own this phone and cant stand to use it with WM6.5. So it's either do everything I can to learn and help so that we can realize a complete Android replacement of WM or just send the phone back because two things I wont do are one, complain to people who have already given tons of their time and hard work and two, use windows mobile.
no problem. I'm not usually such a d**k myself but they just caught me off guard at the wrong moment
Root bounties have become increasingly popular and seem like a great way to draw specialized attention to our cause.
I'm considering starting a root bounty for the G2 (I'd toss in a few bucks myself to kick it off).
Thoughts? If enough people +1 this (I don't need you to pledge dollar amounts, but don't +1 if you wouldn't definitely donate at least $1) I'll make a paypal account that people can drop cash into.
UPDATE
I closed the paypal account as it had received $0 since my initial $5 deposit. Kickstarter declined our request for a new project. Consider this effort dead.
+$20 for root
Match $20!
However, I'm hoping I can get some direction on rooting via OSX. All the root directions seem to be for windows only.

I'll pledge $50
I want root as much as anyone but don't you think the day after the official release is a little soon to be offering a bounty? Again, I don't object, I'm just a fan of letting the natural process take place
I can pitch in 20.
I hope that everyone who makes a pledge actually follows through...

Agreed; pledges mean little. Due to the quick and positive responses, I'm creating the paypal account now. I understand the concern people may have that I'll run off with the dough.
The only relevant resume items I have that may quell this fear are:
I'm a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I didn't go volunteer in the 3rd world for 2.5 years to get rich.
I'm a long-time contributor to the FreeBSD project; my name is listed on the contributor page.

I can work on that for you. I triple boot my macbook pro, windoze 7, osx, and ubuntu 10.10, I have adb in all three and use em to root phones at work for my coworkers. They offer money but I say "no, I can't accept $, I'm just one techie helping another" then they feel bad and buy me lunch! Works everytime! Lol

Thanks for that.
****, please dont judge me but I can only pledge $5. I certainly will follow through though.
Once again.. poor 19 year old full time college student here ! All my money goes to food and books.

That is the saddest news I've heard in a LONG time.
I edited the OP with paypal info. Donate at your leisure...
I think this is premature...... odds are the same methods will work on the G2 as well.
Give them some time to actually get the phone... lol
Nothing wrong with supporting your developers and hackers... but I'm sure it will be done quickly.

I recommend we use something like kickstarter dot com
Basically the pledges only go through if the project meets its goal, if it doesnt nobody gets charged anything.
Expect some from me later today or tomorrow.
I hope others donate as motivation for more people to jump on.

I'm fine with this; the method matters little to me. I haven't used this site before. I'll investigate it this afternoon (2 hour meeting coming up shortly).

Same methods do not work, which is the whole problem.
I've been talking with @Captain_Throwback (TWRP supporter for the HTC 10 & many many more devices) about supporting TWRP for the U11. Unfortunately it sounds like he doesn't have the ability to upgrade at this time. So my thought is to create a bounty to help him out He has already begun work on the U11 TWRP but needs the device in hand to make it fully functioning.
If you would like to help contribute, either comment with your pledge or send him a donation now!
DONATE
You can also donate by sending straight from PayPal (friends & family) w/ no fees to Captain_Throwback, send to [email protected] the above link will deduct a fee
I'll start by committing $25 to the fund!

I wanted to stop in and say thanks to everyone for their support. Thanks to @OMJ for opening the thread and thanks to everyone that has donated.
I've never been one to ask for handouts, and everything I've done for the community I've done because I enjoy it and never to get anything back. So to see this response is really touching. I'll make sure the funds are used toward a U11 and if I'm able to get one I'll make sure I add official support for it to TWRP and maintain the device for as long as it's not bricked (it happens, lol).
Thanks again, and if you happen to already have the device, a semi-working TWRP was posted by someone in another thread in this section. My thoughts on that are here.
CPT_Throwback,
We take it for granted that these things are available to us. Little do folks realize the work that goes behind the scenes.
I for one, will support you guys and am glad OMJ posted it here.
Thank you Sir, you have a wonderful Memorial day.
@Captain_Throwback you're been around and supported a lot of HTC devices around to enable us modding enthusiasts to flash a working TWRP, all done on your own expenses. Who, if bot you, would be allowed to ask for a little compensation an help when needed.
I've always been glad to be able to use a TWRP maintained by you, and always will. Hope this bounty can make it possible for all of us. Thanks for everything done to the community so far, and all that's hopefully coming.
And a special thanks to @OMJ for opening this thread. Great and needed idea.
All the best to you two.

Hello, the provided link allows only $ payments, how could I contribute in € ?
I got my black U11 3 days ago in Taiwan, but unfortunately the screen had a little defect so I had to return it back for a new one. However I'm not in a hurry, because I'm still waiting for TWRP on it! Thanks @Captain_Throwback for you contribution on my HTC 10, and I'm looking forward to see your work on U11! Here's my two cents: 4NM50706WW949104F
