Good idea... I'm in for $75 via Pay Pal. I'd even be willing to pre-pay it to a known HTC dev like Newt, ihtfp, JoelZ, tiny, NilsP, etc. so that they can buy one.

Ok, I really want this rooted. I'll do up to 100$. I want to be able to watch HULU and get ICS in the future. Really bummed that this awesome tablet hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. Is there any news on S-Off development to this point?

Also, what would happen if HTCDEV.com unlocked the bootloader. Would that increase the progress towards S-Off tremendously?

Just trying to understand.

Getting help...

Hello Jetstream family!!

I just bought my tablet this weekend!!

I was checking that we are very alone on this part of the XDA Forums and since I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab I talked to one of the best developers (Task650) over there and he told me he is going to see if he can help us here!!

Hope he can so we can have ROOT on this excellent tablet!

Also count me in with $ 70!!

I am beginnig to se a little light at the end of the tunnel :D

Excellent news!!

I've talked to Task650, he is a very well recognized developer and one of the best at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 forums and he is willing to help us Root our tablet!!

@mattyass can you PM Task so he can confirm with you where to send the device so he can start doing test and development?

@task650, thanks again, I am sure with your help will have a rooted tab!

This is a good day..

no problem bro. i couldnt stand owning a device without having root permissions. wouldnt even be worth it to me.

Here's my conditions of taking on this device.

1.) I need to have some time without being pestered for an ETA (it just makes things really stressful). I usually work relatively fast anyways. lol.
2.) If for some reason I can't get it rooted (which I highly doubt will happen) I will want to send the device back to the original sender without any issues or hard feelings.
3.) Once its rooted I want you all to have some fun with it!!!

How shall I give my pledged 100$ when this happens?
Yeah, let us know when the time comes, I can pay pal or whatever.

Yeah... it's killing me. I was lucky that my company bought it for me, but I am really having a hard time. I have had an HTC Incredible since day one and have had it rooted since before unrevoked. I know what we're missing! That and a killer dev community are why i'm still not in any hurry to get a new phone.

Good luck and let us know if there anything we can do. I would be more than happy to test for you too. Cheers! --Josh

not trying to be a pain or anything, but what are the chances of you creating a proper ROM for the device after rooting it..?
its just that i don't think anyone else could do it.. you see how small the community is.
