========================================
New Total $-32.48 (to recover cost of second Shift) USD after paypal fees and money transfers to purchase 2 of 4 devices, as of 05.15.08am
NOTE: All donations after the money is recovered for the second device will go towards the purchase of the 3rd and 4th device as originally planned.
Also, if you guys donate to the Shift Project, you don't get star by your name. You get a star by your name if you donate directly to the forum. Forum donations go to the forum servers and admin staff not the developers/project teams. We receive donations for this project to acquire devices and donate our spare time to hacking and expanding the device capabilities.

Official Project Goals...(will be updated as needed)
Goals of proposed project:
- Acquire 4 GSM Devices for Development Team
- Unlock device: CID unlocking and SIM unlocking.
- Expand WM6 capabilities (full WM on device)
- Remove as many limitations on device as possible. IF possible: "Unlock" - Phone, GPS, WiFi, SD, BlueTooth, etc.
- Cooked ROMs
- Determine if Windows Mobile can be powered off when not used
- Determine if GPS is accessible from Vista side as well
- Misc.

Official Shift Project Progress Report...
I wanted to use this to keep the community updated as much as possible...
- Shift Project Team speaking to several device vendors in an attempt to get sponsored discounts and/or devices. We are currently discussing possibilities with these vendors to determine if and how they can help this community, specifically with the Shift Project.
- Shift Project Team releases USBTool (tool acquired by team through certain resources, not written by the team) that helps those attempting to connect Vista to Windows Mobile succeed and release the liberate files. We wanted to get this into a few more hands to try and promote progress while we ramp up for the project.
- Shift Project Team codes and releases ECShift.exe (enter BootLoader app written by the Shift Project Team) for testing by community and other developers.
- Shift Project Team begins work on HardSPL. Even though we don't have devices to test, the basic framework for the HardSPL is being developed. Once we've collected enough funds for the 1st of 4 devices, this is the first item we will test and finalize.
- Shift Project team begins work on SD slot activation for Windows Mobile. Working with certain available resources, we've begun establishing the framework for enabled SD support under Windows Mobile. More progress on this once we have devices on hand as this cannot be tested without them. In the meanwhile, we're doing as much as we can.
- Other projects ongoing while we ramp up for Shift Project...more updates to come as available.
- 04.08.08: Core Shift Project Team orders two HTC Shift devices. One team member puts in approx $1000 out of pocket to get second device and keep things moving forward. Will recover money from continued community donations.

We aren't hearing a lot from the team, despite 2 Shifts being bought for them.... Any updates?

We are working on hardSPL as well as other items. Also, if you notice above please don't use this thread yet and thank you in advance for your time and understanding.
Also, in case we need testers, will you be available with your Shift?

Sure, I'm willing to help test anything that has already been tested on the test devices

keep the good job going
I have donated to the shift project 50$ and will donate more in the future

I think the Shift seems not to be very popular anymore to go forward
finding the solution for GPS and Memorycard.
Shift Project looks very silent, isn't it?
It seems other gagets from HTC are more interesting. Unfortunatly.
offtopic:
I personally will not give a sh** for a slow Notebook
with Vista on a screen without delivering a glases any longer.
Or a WM 6 for dummies. For 1200 Euro I can buy nice other gadgets.
I am not complaining about my deal and it was on my own risk,
but it on me to find an idiot on Ebay who needs that, at the end of the day,
crappy peace of unfinishd expensive hardware as well.
Yes, I know what you might wish to me.

WinMo 6.1 on HTC Shift
has any body installed WinMo 6.1 on HTC Shift
if yes can you describe step by step instructions
thanks

voip
sorry ltxda yes i know dont post here whatvere im going to anyways but just a sudgstion/ question has anyone tried voip on there shift to call people? jw cuz that slike 20 bucks a year and id fix the problem of not being able to call for awhile if it worked but whatever

I hate to say this, cause noones a bigger fan of cmonex and the rest, but for me the shift project is taking too long. I suppose you're working hard all of you, but I am outa here. Just sold the shift and bought myself a nice big fat 17" laptop instead. Got an acer 7720 w/ blueray, dual core 2 intel 2,2 Ghz prosessor, 640 gb harddisk, 1920 screen, geforce 9600gt, 3gb Ram and HDTV-support for less than I gave for the shift... I am having fun now. I happily donated a few houndred $ or so to the project in the past knowing how great you all did on the athena project... I hope the people who are still checking this thread will get some benefit soon.

Hope the project have not been influenced by HTC?
I had to edit this, I saw from a thread at GPS activation, that an update for shift is imminent, so don't take above title too seriously. Looking forward to the the result of the project.

I seem to be using my Shoft more and more, yest others are moving away from it. If anythign comes from the work the team is doing then I will even happier. But right now, all is good in my view...

i use my Shift loads, just not the WM side as it's still a bit crippled... personally i can't wait for the result of the Shift projects work... Opera mini is going to be out of this world when we have access to the whole screen real estate...!
keep it up guys... really looking forward to testing your work.

I donno why there are so many haters because more work isn't being done on unlocking/hacking up the capabilities of the Shift...
I just got mine, and effin love it... I'm an IT Consultant who loves toys like this, but just configuring it I'm noticing how many new possibilities of staying in touch Im going to have...

Give it a few weeks, and you'll start to see the limitations and deliberate blocks that HTC have put in the way of using the Shift to it's full potential.

How do you divide it up among the contributors?

I believe there were actually already 2 threads for this and they got closed
Sent from my T-Mobile G2

We divide it equally among the people. Or send direct to the team. Quite simple.
And yes there have been threads. But this is real.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

yeah there are threads before
but few did make their commitment
I think the devs should make a donate version of the root app once it comes out

Put up your pledges and you are bound to it.
Let's show the devs we appricate their work.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

I will pledge a minimum of 20$ for full nand unlocked permanant root.

OP updated. Come on people. Lets give back to the community for this.

Put me down for $20. Definitely think however figures this out deserves a little something.

OP updated.
Let's go people. Let's get this up to 200-300 USD. It's well worth it.

Im new n here, where I can donate?

I'm in for $20, pm me and I'll send $20 by mail. Paypal has an old card # of mine and its a huge PITA to update it so I've been avoiding it for the last year or so. Only used it for ebay and that's also PITA. BUT $20 In an envelope, no problem.
I have to say get the dough up front. This pledge stuff isn't going to work out, you'll be lucky to get 50-60% of what's promised. I won't be involved in something where a dev gets stiffed for their hard work. IDK Maybe talk to a mod or something, just trying to help.

Well.
You can say here how much you will pledge for the bounty and be bound to send it if the bounty is done.
Or you may send it to me for safe keeping.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Not a problem. You can even western union it to me when the bounty is done. Will update the op in a few
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

OP updated. we are now up to $80. I'd like to see this get up to $200 or so. To help the devs. Im sure a few bricked a phone.
if you want me to hold on-to the money. You can paypal me it as a personal->Living expense to my signature. If no bounty is claimed I will refund all parties.

100.00 full and permanent root. that's my pledge. When I see that root is given by applying some kind of package or logic or software or whatever, I'll provide paypal 100.00 US to be split up. This is valuable to me. I don't even have a G2 yet but I want to void that warranty in many evil ways

put me in for 10£.

I'm in for $20

$20 for at&t

20$ for m7_ul (hboot 1.54)

Could you all just convert whatever currency you have into US dollars? We kind of need a unified currency in this thread.

$10 from me m7ul with hboot1.54
Thanks for doing this.

I'm not sure if you understand what I meant.
I was talking about starting a list of people who are willing to donate/raise money(kinda like a bounty) for the developers to buy a note 4 to attempt to achieve root/unlock bootloader. Once we reach our goal; which is 2 devices($1400) at the moment, we then spread out and send our donations to their PayPal.

Heyyy I'm sure if I were to get my hands on one we could use it for a test device to figure out root/safestrap/etc who are the current 2 devs?

There is only one way to do this correctly. I'll add the missing and add myself to the bottom. copy and paste the message above yours so that the amounts add up. It should be pretty clear, put your name - how much you are donate (the total amount donated with yours added in). Then we'll know how much has been raised.

These types of threads are not allowed on XDA. If you wish to donate to a developer that is your choice and their DONATE TO ME buttons are visible under their profiles. If you wish to make a bounty thread to get a single device for a developer that is well known for obtaining root for a device then that thread will be "tolerated" on XDA with no ties whatsoever to XDA.
These are the guidelines set forth from previous famous developers successfully obtaining these goals:
* The developer MUST know of the thread's existence;
* The OP of the thread CANNOT have access to the funds. I cannot stress how important this is. Money collected and someone else buying the device which suddenly never gets shipped to the donation target is a more common occurrence than it should be on cases like this;
* The developer MUST ACCEPT the challenge being imposed. In other words, making a bounty to get jcase a HTC TWO when he knows well in advanced that he is either not interested or that he may not have the time to do it would simply deprive other devs who might be able to work on the project;
* The thread needs to be traced/tracked so that when the objective is met, no more donations are accepted. In other words, if the device costs $500, once the money is accounted for, all donation links should be removed and/or the thread closed stating that the goal has been reached;
* The OP of the thread MUST be a known member. I had a run in once with HD2OWNER when he was getting money for dcordes and netripper who were working on porting Ubuntu for the HD2. Everything ended up being ok;
* The item being sought after should be related to the goal being attempting to be achieved, but not be overly generic (a good example of a bad bounty would be a computer for a ROM chef);
* Goals and objectives of the donation MUST BE CLEARLY STATED in the OP;
As mentioned, other than that you are advised to donate to your favorite developer for work already received and if he so chooses to put those towards a new device that is up to him.

LG G5 Root Bounty! [Currently $1,420] [LINK FOR LGTOOL BY BEAUPS AND JCASE ADDED]

LG G5
ROOT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY USING "LGTool by beaups and jcase" BUT THE DEVS WILL NOT BE CLAIMING THE BOUNTY BECAUSE THEY DON'T FEEL IT IS SIMPLE ENOUGH TO GET IT. FIND A DIFFERENT WAY TO ROOT/UNLOCK AND YOU CAN CLAIM THE BOUNTY
MOD EDIT: THIS LINK IS REMOVED AT REQUEST OF OWNERS OF THE SOFTWARE YOU'RE LINKING AS IT WILL BRICK THEIR PHONES
LG JUST RELEASED AN OFFICIAL BOOTLOADER UNLOCK FOR THE G5 EUROPE VARIANT. HERE IS A LINK FOR THAT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/official-european-lg-g5-h850-bootloader-t3363040
All credit, and a personal thanks goes out to open1your1eyes0 for the use of his S4 Bounty template here.
I put priority on getting this up quickly - so pretty directly used his format to get the bounty thread up and running.

Bounty
In the LG G5 Q&A forum reliable-root-method thread - I said I would pledge $50 for root for Verizon version. So sign me up for $50. I guess it is good to have a running tally in one place.

I'll throw in $25 for AT&T, with an additional $25 if it works universally

I would like to donate $5 for the bounty and an additional $5 for the Tmobile version. About time we got a bounty going.

I'll throw down $50. $25 in general, $25 for the sprint version. Please free the Sprint Variant!

$100 for Sprint! (LG LS992)

$20 for international (H850) version
