Did you post the same pledge Corey , with a different user name? I'm guessing yes. I can't post to that xda page...I don't have enough posts.
As I posted at your Bounty post here, I'll match that first amount, after the consensus here is that the conditions are met. I don't have the knowledge to attempt it myself 'til confirmed by the smarter people here.

So the extent of root that you guys have achieved on the phone as of right now is what? Like 85% rooted, or much less than that? Bad enough to require a custom rom?

phone is rooted, we can use any root app out there...its not what we are used to , cant install the superuser app at all

I pledge $20 on xda. What kind of problems you have posting there, ickster?
As some of you might have guessed already, the feature that I need the most on this phone is wifi/usb tethering (preferably with Android native hotspot app). I'm somewhat ashamed to acknowledge that if I had that, I probably wouldn't be fighting so hard to root/custom ROM the phone, if it weren't also for this grassroots idea of freedom and privacy in the digital age... Anyhow, I'm in.

And how about starting a bounty thread on howardforums ?

Nick,
i guess you need 10 posts on the dev forums there....not all, just the dev ones.

Once the HTC Thunderbolt comes out, maybe they'll change their mind...cause they'll have a ton of people working to root a heavily anticipated LTE Android

Thunderbolt wont be on MetroPCS. and is also HTC so really can use HTC stuff on Samsung Galaxy phones.

They dont seem to want to touch MetroPCS because its not one of the Top 4 carriers. I still dont understand that way of thinking. Why cant you help out everyone? Are the top 4 carriers Paying them? No. then what do they care so much about it.
