Htc unlocked!

HTC
‎"There has been overwhelmingly customer feedback that people want access to open bootloaders on HTC phones. I want you to know that we've listened. Today, I'm confirming we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices. Thanks for your passion, support and patience," Peter Chou, CEO of HTC

Saw this on facebook so happy hopefully they will give us something to unlock older devices or give us the keys to the castle

Great to hear that they're listening to criticism from their consumers. I wonder if they'll provide a way to unlock devices that are locked currently.

Ya I hope so shouldn't be to hard to do that really all they have to do is either give us the RSA key or make a program that flashes the bootloaders to be unlocked

What would happen to the sold locked htc device?bring back to them to unlock?

I would assume it requires them to create a signed OTA or RUU update for existing locked-loader phones, which would then include the code for an officially sanctioned unlocking agent. Anyway this is all very exciting. If the T-Mo US Sensation comes out as an open phone it's high on my next-phone list.

I for one welcome our unlocked overlords.

Good win but it want mean nothing if HTC doesnt go back and unlock the phones already locked.

Sadly there's no news on whether or not our IncS will be unlocked or not though.

I think we should wait for HTC for the next.
Because it just a current decision.......for now
HTC will have 2 ways to unlock(I think):
1. Use OTA update to unlock
2. Use Sony's advice (sign up to SE, and SE will give u unlock code)

Just had a small chat with HTC, and of course they couldn't tell a thing. I guess we just have to wait and see what will be happening.
We currently don’t have information regarding which phones will be unlocked; Keep an eye on our official website and official social media outlets for announcements about which phones will be bootloader unlocked

I think they will there would be just as many pissed off people if they didn't unlock the inc s the policy wasn't stated all future phones it said the dissolved the bootloader policy meaning the phones that came out will most likely be included ..
But for now I think it stands EVO and sensation are yes inc s no idea .
But my orig post on fb to start it all up talked about inc s ..
But 3d and sensation became the topic very fast ..
I emailed the same guy who gave me info on EVO 3d just now so patients ..

Not really bad as the older phones are still locked. Thus XTC will still make money off them...

We.don't.know if HTC will unlock the current models but if they do xtc for HTC devices = what's the point anymore ..
But until they announce it we have no idea but Mr Chou said no longer locking devices its a very undefined answer to my origanal requests on facebook.
if u look was sensation inc s and EVO 3d but as I said the focus quickly turned to just sensation and 3d so only time will tell

I dont think so.There is no offical file i've seen.

whats making you guys worried? The actual Feedback was mostly from those who had locked devices. Its they who were after HTC to unlock. and its on their wish HTC has decided to unlock bootloaders..

Online petition

Hello everyone,
I just made an online petition to obtain ICS for our device. I know someone can say we only want last release of an operating system and such. In my opinion, that's false. We want something we paid for. I gave LG my trust and they disappointed me. Please, sign the petition, if you share my thoughts, or at least give it a read.

Why dont you just file a complaint directly to the your country's consumer protection agency?

Mainly for two reasons, mate:
- I have many friends with LG2x and they can't flash, for a million of reasons, they are afraid of bricks, afraid of not finiding confortable with custom roms, bugs, etc... and I, as CM user, think that we should all get updates, for the money we spent in the phone and the disappointing feeling. We use CM, but it's bad LG just discontinued her flagship phone.
- It's not only Italy's problem: if it were just Italy, I would have worked on other releases and made it available as custom rom, as every other person on this forum would do, but it's a common problem, and I thought we need a common solution.
Thanks for your reply, if I sounded rude, please forgive me, it's only difficult to explain such things in a foreign language.

no, its fine. I did sign the petition before replying to the thread. The consumer protection agency one was just a suggestion. I am in Maldives and we dont have an LG office/branch here, therefor we cannot do anything against them.

lets first see we can get gingerbread
they promise it on the (netherlands-belgium) website
they say "always updated to the latest version of android with one click on the button"

nice try, but no one will give a f*-ck about it !
as for other android phones : you get the version installed & 1 update ...
so ... froyo + GB , that´s it. then our phone is outdated.
companies want to make money & sell new phones, so that´s their policy ...
i can sign your petition if you like, but it will change nothing ...
sorry, but that´s the truth
but at least we have official CM support, so when ICS SDK is available, we will get it from this source

Even the gb leaks are based on froyo kernels. Face it we are never going to get gingerbread let alone ICS because LG simply can't do it. (I blame nvidia aswell btw but thats a whole different story)

It's not my intention to destroy your dreams... but you really think Motorola will unlock the bootloader thanks to this petition? However, I signed... maybe a miracle will help us.
7500 signatures reached, and now the goal is 10000... I'm confused

As far as I know the goal is unlimited the more votes the better chance.

But i doubt... Motorola suites are not gonna listen so easy

I contacted LG for unlocked bootloader.

Hello there,
I just contacted LG support for a unlocked bootloader, and they answered.
I talked in dutch but Google Translate will help a lot.
Please don't watch my grammar because i typed to fast.

Google Translate FTW. I really hope this phone gets unlocked soon. I'm planning on picking this up this weekend or next week. Price is too good to pass up on such a high end spec'd device.

Thanks OP for the info, but if the Google translation was remotely accurate, I didn't see anything that suggest LG has any plans to unlock it.
The LG representative only said that it's a new model and she assumes that some more updates will come. If I am not much mistaken she even said that she doesn't even know what a bootloader is.
In any case what were the OP doing talking to a woman about tech stuff?
j/k
Let's hope that LG will come clean with their updates.

Sonds to me more that she said "Update will come, don't know when, and no information about unlocked bootloader". I wouldn't be surprised if the local support people don't know anything about any update plans. It has always been like this with LG, tell nobody and suddenly it's there. Only chance might be that more support people file the user's wishes to LG and some intelligent people there get it done.

I think that the only way to get **** done is to contact Korean lg support.

Samsung has wave phones that have the worst supporting and these wave phones were distributing in Korea. There are users also from Korea for wave phones, but samsung never mind with this phones and users also.
I make sure that the boot-loader will be unlocked for LG O4X , but we need a little bit time to wait and contact LG Developers

I've read the transcript in Dutch and I've got the same feeling, so it's not the translation. It sounds like a "don't call us, we call you".

S-Off and Unbricking Project

Zarboz said:
Hello dear XDA-Community,
The idea of this thread was to serve as an un bricking thread eventually,
I am looking into a riffbox for jtag service, I am approaching xda to see if any users would be interested in helping me cover the cost of said riffbox
if you were to donate towards the cause in return you would receive free unbrick service and jtag service for all your devices as long as the riffbox supports the CPU architecture
If this is of no interested not a big deal i just thought i would give the community a chance to get involved rather than keeping all the cool toys at my house and not sharing
This thread will be the hub for service requests. If you happen to need unbrick service, you will find this thread and us to help you.
I will post a log of all payments made from that money plus all Items received (e.g. the RIFF Box, the cables, Jigs, etc.)
I will also keep an online "work and ticket tracker" so that you can see live reports /pictures of the status of your repairs
now your like ok i didnt donate to help you buy this thingamabobber now i bricked my phone and i dont wanna pay some dude on ebay 60$ to fix it
cool find me post in the thread if your device is supported we can get it unbricked
Please remember i am one man and do have a child so im not planning to support 43000000x users but i dont think it would be bad to offer service to RC's RD's and senior members of xda for no cost of labor just get the unit here and ill jtag it up
RIFF Box - US $155.00 + Shipping
JIG Connector - negligible i have a variable temp soldering station so i could solder to the board direct at low heat
Updates / Facts / News:
Some things you might see around the thread
Hope this is gonna be very very educational for people too. Unbricking always is some sort of a mystery for many and if you send off your phone to some stranger on ebay, you usually don't get an idea about the "Hands On" and gettin' dirty bit of tearing down a phone and actually make it look nice and work properly again afterwards.
So, maybe we will even have some photos or videos and stuff and just give you an idea of how that all works...
Please ask your questions
and if your located in the USA and close to me for XDA active members I will always do what I can to help out as XDA has always helped me out
I am not trying to sell jtag service at all guys im saying if we can get me a riffbox ill give xda senior members RD's RC's RT's mods and members with over a 300 post count free jtag service

I think this is great and all but I have one question.
How would a single riff box provide all of us with s-off? JTAG is a great skill to have but if there is only one riff box its not going to benefit the rest of the community for s-off. We need a s-off solution that wont require all of us to buy special hardware to achieve it.

I did read your op. And the title says s-off and unbricking project.
so if this for just unbricking or both?
My point is its a little misleading. JTAG is awesome for unbricking but if this is going to be an s-off project also the average user should understand the risks of JTAG for s-off. Like it requires the phone to be taken completely apart and then flashed. And hopefully put back together correctly.
I changed the digitizer on my og evo and swore i'd never try it again. I'm not knocking what your trying to accomplish I just think the rest of the community should be aware of what jtag entails.

so if you read the OP you would understand that i am offering free jtagging service to those who donate / users who have a 300+ post count for use once unit is received
if you dont understand what the service is capable of don't knock it
I also don't expect every john and jane doe to send me their phone just to get s-off thats ridiculous and also CLEARLY stated in the op....
it sounds like you read the title skimmed the paragraph and are now asking why i think this is a good idea?
1) To service high end users who want the freedom of their device and don't care about warranty as it is invasive
2) to offer a free alternative for xda users who are paying sites like mobiletechvideos 40-50$ for s-off service
3) to give something back
4) to offer brick repair to a site that has always been there to help me esp to those n00b users who just flash whatever and brick their unit
I also was a cell phone repair tech for 2x years and have quite extensive knowledge in this field
just wanted to share is all
