Get your attention? Hope so...
Ookba is about half way there for ordering a Snap S511 for cooking up ROMs on this particular device.
Anyone, any amount of a donation is beneficial.
The sooner he gets enough to order a S511 the sooner us American Sprint Users of the Snap can use Windows 6.5!!!!!!!
If you have anything to donate (even a S511 would work!!!) please send it his way.
Thank you for your time.

The Red-Headed Step Child phone now has a 6.5 ROM!

Didn't work. Lol.
Hey Ookba, here's a crazy thought. Why not just buy a snap for 50 bucks at your local Best Buy and return it within the 30 day full refund period? It's a little shady, but in the end your efforts to cook up a better rom for the snap will probably result in better sales for sprint and BB that far offset whatever repackaging/refurbishing costs that they will endure. Then you can keep your donation money for yourself instead of spending it on another version of a phone you already have.
anyways.. just a thought.

Because when an update is realeased he'll need to test an updated ROM... but to get things going that would be a good idea...

Well, donations have been slim to none for 6.5 on the S511. How many S511 users are there, 5? I can give you a test ROM if you're interested.
Just sent a small donation to ookba
Transaction ID #9RD14235YW5075845
Also I'm willing to give it a try a test ROM
Just sent a small donation to ookba too because I'm a new paypal user in China I cann't add funds to my account via my bank card, so pls excuse me so small donation.
Transaction ID #9GE73152RL476605J
I have a S511 and it is a brick cause I use a wrong way to flash it, I'm willing to give it a try a test ROM to save it, thank you ookba, thank you jockyw, thank you all.

Thanks for the donation. It is HardSPL? Does the bootloader say 0.34.Hard? If not, you have to wait for an official ROM to be released.

Hi my friends! I've written a private message to vilord, dzo and mssmison to report the current status of Android for our devices and this is what mssmison answered:
I'd love to help man, but my phone died a couple weeks back and I've been unable to get a replacement
Vilord and I had planned a lot of work on the Polaris, but without anything to test on it's not going to get done.

As you may already know, he is one of our best bets to a fully working Android. He has helped a lot, along with other wonderful people that bring us the best of their knowledge.
Well, I don't know how many of you donated money for this project, but it's definitely necessary to provide our developers with test devices.
I make a call to all of you that could help with a small donation for the cause. If you know where to buy a Polaris or you don't use yours anymore, please, notify us using this thread. The community will appreciate your help.
jamezelle has set up a donation link for him: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...e=Vogue Android Development¤cy_code=USD
Please, if you donate money, write down the amount and confirmation code in this thread to know how much money we've got.
Hi, SuperJMN.
I will donate if needed.
Already tried to flash -> a bit unstable, but Android will give second live to Polaris.
hi buddies
i will donate for sure if it helps

It's great you are supporting him! If only we could get more people to find him a good device... It doesn't matter if it's a very little donation. Many a little makes a mickle.
He's from Canada. Do you know anybody from Canada that is wanting to sell a Polaris? Maybe we could send one to him if we get enough donors.
it 's cheaper every week
maybe we can look on ebay

Wow, that's a good deal! Let's see what mssmison thinks.
Selling mine Polaris for 60 euro's, everything works.. Hardspl flashed, 6.5 rom etc.. I have a new phone, so my htc polaris is unused for a while now..
Interested? Pm.

I received a message from mssmison. I have just realized that his original device was a Vogue, not a Polaris Sorry, I misunderstood it.
Well, I'm going to change the topic of this thread to fit the reality. My proposal is this: now that a donation link is set up, we could use it to raise the numbers enough to buy a Polaris, too. If you make a donation, specify that it is to buy a Polaris.
I trust that mssmison will be honest and he will get one once he gets the money. I will send him a PM to inform about it.
He told me that he's going to use it as a test device and extra phone to develop for. This could make possible to fix things quickly!
You've got to take into consideration that Vogue and Polaris are similar devices, but not the same, and we have way less developers... I think this is the only mean to keep the dev scene alive.

Hello everyone, I'm Indirect and while most of you have no idea who I am, I was politely asked to come help you all out for development towards downgrade / s-off on your devices. Now, as much as I would LOVE to help, I can only do so much without the actual device. I know this sounds like mooching, annoying, etc that some other "developers" do to try and gain attention but I'm sure you can see that I've made progress in just a few short hours as you can see here So I would like to now ask the community I'm trying to help if they would be willing to help me out as well and have my job be just a bit easier. I own multiple devices that I work on (Evo View 4G tablet, Nook Tablet, Nexus S 4G) and I develop for the evo shift when I can get around to it, but since I am not 18 and unemployed, I can't really go out and just throw down cash for a mytouch. Developing is essentially my career, balance that with school and my life gets hectic. So, if you read on, you will see how much I'm working towards.
What I need vs What I have:
Bought a device and it had a board failure within 2 hours... -- edit: RMA'd this one
New device, killed that one and since it has a void sticker broken and I'd rather not send it to HTC for moral reasons, I want to have it JTAG'd.
Well guys. I bricked 2 MT4GS while helping test s-off. Looks like I need to RMA one and JTAG the other. What do I need? Well, it cost 40$ + shipping. I can eat the shipping costs, but I can't crap out 40$. .__. So, any help is appreciated. OP has been updated with this post as well as a total amount vs what I need.

What I need vs what I have for JTAG:

Edit: Switched links. Found a cheaper one for 220~
This is the device that I am wanting to buy because it's the cheapest one on ebay, has free shipping, and available for buy it now. So if you want to help, just click the donate button and I'll save up for it. I would really prefer to get this thing bought as soon as possible so I can get cracking on that bootloader.
hi, it's nice to see someone giving our device some attention
btw, i have a side question: do you have kernel dev experience too?

I know some stuff about the kernel, but not atm enough to get a custom kernel up and running. Also guys, I seriously only have 1$ to my name, pretty sure it won't be enough. Lol.
This would be fantastic - I was working with this character last night in IRC and he's got the enthusiasm necessary backed up by the knowledge we need to get in our corner of XDA.
People are complaining from time to time about the anemic development here in the MT4GS forums, well, here is a way of increasing that dev.
If people aren't interested or able in picking up the torch themselves to get involved in development, then helping someone like this get a device in their hands will help us all out.
Normally i'm not such a fan of this but this is the real deal - we get a device in his hands and we WILL see more dev around here.
Look at the progress he's already helped us make towards the S-OFF issue - we got past getting the misc.version put in place and unraveled another layer of the issue, now we are stuck on hboot being our block.
Not bad for someone without a physical device in their hands, eh? Imagine what he could help us with not having to work proxy through one of us...

Hey guys,
I am a HTC One S user from India CID - HTC__038. the biggest challenge for all of us is the problem of not having the RUU in order to feel the freedom of using the custom ROM we want. (OK not a lot of options out there!) but I feel it really cripples us a lot not having one. I have been in touch with Football and he say he can get the RUU but at a price.
This is the one he says can get - VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_hTC Asia India_2.15.720.150_Radio_16.22.20.03U_16.11.20.24_ M_release
The source is asking for 13 Euros + Paypal charges ~ 15 Euros I guess. Thats roughly a 1000 in INR.
If all of us can get together and pitch in, the cost will be peanuts (atleast compared to what we have paid for this phone). I guess none of us who managed to buy this phone are incapable of coming up with the full amount of the RUU, let alone a fraction of it.
So what say guys. Can we try and get this done. I need approvals and suggestions.
Thanks
I'm in.

Thanx everyone for the support. But I had contacted HTC a while back and they said the JB will take some time to come out. 1st they need to sort out the bugs in the HOX JB release and then send out the S3 release or some BS like that. In short the lady on the line said do not expect a likely update atleast till next summer if not later. I mean India got the FOTA for 4.0.4 in November, a good 6 or so months after the S4 release worldwide. No point waiting for the JB just now. Also by the time JB is out and a custom ROM is released it will take a year at the least.
Anyways, this is just my 2 cents. Lets c whats the collective response.
I would help you guys but I don't have any money on PayPal, so this is just a small bump for you guys and good luck!
Buying the ROM.
Hey guys. I am being really generous and decided to buy it myself. I will open a paypal account and will be accepting donations into it if anyone wants to. Will post the details once i receive the RUU. Wish me luck that I dont screw it up.

Check out this thread!!
Ok people so here's the deal:
User @maintainer mentioned in the Lineage dev thread that a dev from the Paranoid Android team was interested in porting to our device but unfortunately couldn't afford it. He'll also leave a working LOS tree so other people can port other roms to our device and probably make a working TWRP, actually working. The dev in this case is known as Offain on Discord and his xda handle is @33bca.
So I took it upon myself to go talk to said dev and set up a plan for this. Here's how things stand:
According to @maintainer, we need to gather 180 Swiss Francs (158.2€) to fund this device. I've spoken to the developer, Offain and I'll link him the thread so he can pop in and confirm all this. If enough people are interested in chpping in some cash, he'll post his paypal and we can all directly donate to him. I'm trying to keep this as transparent as possible cuz we don't want a repeat of the situation with @d1ngh and TWRP.
So post here if you're interested and how much you're willing to donate for this. I'll keep count in OP of the cash.
I'll start obviously, I'm unemployed atm but willing to chip in 5€.
Current funding: 105.82€ We're half way there!

Just say how much you are willing to chip in and I'll add it to the OP. Offain will show up later today or tomorrow to validate the legitimacy of the thread. He says that when we have enough cash confirmed, he'll give us his paypal link so we can all send it there. He's pretty pumped about this if we can get it off the ground and so am I
I didn't want to make a paypal account just for this because 1) I don't think people who trust/believe me and 2) It's a lot of responsability to hold other people's money. So I went with the honest and transparent way of going about this.
I'll donate 10$ usd
