Kindle Touch Jailbreak Support Team

UPDATE: The Kindle Touch has more than one jailbreak method now. The first Kindle Touch Jailbreak was the popular MP3 jailbreak by yifanlu, available here:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=160454


*** Come on team! Join us in donating whatever we can to help in the ongoing effort to develop a jailbreak for the Kindle Touch!

At this time, we are looking for a donation of a Kindle Touch with broken screen, or whatever you can afford to donate toward the purchase of a new Kindle Touch (and required tools) for Yifan Lu's potentially destructive jailbreak investigation.

To donate to Yifan Lu's PayPal account, click here:
Kindle Touch Jailbreak Support Fund

So far, we have:
Code:
$ 75 - mmatting (Awesome! Shamed me into doubling my donation!)
$ 40 - rastik (for fastboot tool)
$ 21 - gnurkel ($5 + $16)
$ 20 - geekmaster ($10 + $10)
$ 20 - ekztal
$ 20 - montalex
$ 20 - kkasmire
$ 15 - idollar (K3 payback)
$ 10 - aquariumdrinker
$ 10 - Phre
$ 10 - kevinpars
$ 10 - vostok4
$ 10 - Aldebaranian
$ 10 - volwrath
$ 10 - synchrone
$ 10 - relaxpor
$  5 - dmkbox (K4 request)
$  5 - gla
$  5 - lepel
-------------
$326 - TOTAL
That's enough for a KT3G and a spudger to open it.

(If we keep this up, we may even cover Uncle Sam's income tax bite on these donations.)

(Any missing? Please let us know.)

*** Thanks team! ***

And I've said it before, I would much rather get a broken kindle touch then waste a working one, so if you got a broken one, contact me.

EDIT: And thanks ALOT for the donations guys.

I have been periodically searching ebay for a broken KT, but so far only older models, or I would have grabbed one for you. It could be awhile... So for now, if you get enough donations to buy a new one to break open, go ahead and don't feel any guilt because the donations are specifically for that purpose.

Now we just need *more* donations...

Thanks to everyone who donated. First of all, I purchased some quality tools to work with. They should come in the mail in a few weeks. Afterwards, I'll get the Kindle to work with.

Lol, blame ebay. Regardless, I never knew people could contribute this fast, I thought it would take at least a month or so.
