Is there a good source rather than sifting through the many threads in dev that are concerning this? - is there anyones twitter i can keep an eye on? - etc
I know it sounds vague, but there isnt ONE place to get the latest - and mining through 50+ pages of nonsense to find the good stuff is brutal!
thanks in advance!
yeah, follow alpharev on twitter:

Am I the only one who is thinking the reason for the delay is they can't reproduce on the branded Sensations?

Why would that be an issue exactly?
I am just thinking they want to make sure it works on both before releasing it to the public so no bricks there device. That's all.

Sure. But that's not what you said. You said, is it possible it's not working at all on branded devices. I was just wondering why you thought that might be the case. There is only a slight difference between a branded and unbranded ROM. Not massive. And the hardware is identical.

The radio hardware on EU and US versions will be different yes. But not different between branded and unbranded devices.
The only delay, will be making sure it is idiot proof.
Why make it idiot proof? Just make it so it does not brick your phone.
Rooting is not for newbs. I hope they make you do some IQ test before you can download it.

Because even if you do say "Read all the instructions" you can guarantee that some idiot will brick their phone because they don't know what they're doing. And they WILL blame AlphaRev. Just the way these forums are

Many sensation owners do not believe that S-off wil be coming by HTC. too all you disbelievers out there, i attach proof. Just spoke to a customer advisor right now. this is what i was told. i thought i would make a new thread as all the other threads get clogged up with off topic clutter, so please keep this topic related, and update it if we receive any more info on bootloaders. There is hope out there
Naturally i pencilled in my device number
I hope this is true, I mean it shouldn't be hard for them HTC to unlock their own bootloaders! Look at Motorola they did it. Hopefully it will be soon! Before fall I am keeping my fingers crossed!
i hope we will have the S-OFF in a few days ....
i cant live much more with s-on

But i asked him for an update on the bootloaders, if they would unlock mine and date. Those were his replies

+1 for that, why we don't have the same unlocking process like Sony ??
I'm not really fussed with S-OFF as the internal memory is the only reason I rooted my Desire BUT it would be nice to remove the apps I don't use just to tidy things up a bit. That and put the stock boot animations on

If your a noob and you brick your device, you should be required to pay a fee for them to unbrick it. That should only be fair.
i think the noob will not unlock the bootloader, my oncle have a Desire and he don't know nothing about bootloader and flash, i do that for him....
That chat box doesn't say anything that hasn't already been said. It's just worded different. A waste of a thread that will do nothing but get peoples hopes up.
Nothing more than we already know. BTW, the earpiece will likely come back sounding the same.
I'm new to android.
Can someone clear this out for me:
* S-OFF means Bootloader unlocked?
* I'm asuming HTC will make an update for all devices which automatically unlocks the bootloader of any sensation? Or will the bootloader only be unlocked with the new devices?
call me hater, i don't trust HTC, hope they will prove that I'm wrong

Dunno. Coming from my n1 running cm7 I don't miss it. Apps like feedr go poof, weak camera, poor corporate network support. All things that just work on the sensation stock rom. With the exception of nandroid there's not
A thing I need root for. On the n1 I needed it to work around all the limitations of the various roms out there, not the case with the sensation.

I'm curious how would everyone here feel about the HTC OTA Update if it was to come on the 1st of August or more simply put prior to Alpharevx S-0ff and the OTA closes the exploit they "say" they have accomplished.
FUBAR IMO.
Any other thoughts on this?

The chances of HTC actually putting out the update anytime soon are very very slim and none IMO. The thought of what is the chances of snow in Fla in August comes to mind. I believe if they were really serious about putting out the unlock update that it would have been out by now or a definite time frame established( I believe they mentioned something about August to test and release in Sept but no time frame(just coming soon) for the US sensation, correct me if I am wrong.). I really have lost faith and respect for HTC. The only other phone that I have had that rivals the Sensation in issues is the G2X and I have them both at this time(I know I am a sucker for all the latest and newest electronic toys) They both have marvelous potential and excellent hardware but who knows if and when they will ever live up to their promises or becomes the phones they have the capability to be.
Was it a bad idea for Bell users to do the latest update? (1.35.666.1)

HTC is actually UNLOCKING the bootloader, not trying to lock the phone. Wait for 2 months for that to have happened. Rejoice if AlphaRev is earlier, if you want.

No one I have spoke to actually knows what that app does, however there are more loggers on the stock one (HTC feedback and smith.apk are 2 of them) so rooting and flashing a custom ROM is well worth it IMO

I didnt have it on GB, afaik this thing was only available for operator locked phones
I've always had it on my SIM-free Sensation. Used to delete it from my custom ROMs but never been bothered about it
HTC allows us to unlock but does not allow total root capabilities.
What is the point of unlocking and losing warranty if the phone is not truly yours?
Love the One S LOTS! But why keep it if development will be hampered by HTC?
Not a Samsung fan but I guess it will be my next device. Maybe sooner than later if I can sell the One S or trade for a G-Nex.
Got the S cause of T-Mobile and want true aosp along with full root functions. Thought it would be no problem to get aosp but wow was I wrong! Sense sucks!
Thanks HTC for once again SUCKING! You are losing the ONES who truly love your devices!
You seriously thought it would be easy to get AOSP on an HTC phone? That's where you went wrong.

I don't know, I think they have some insane hacking to get S-Off. I believe everything to achieve it on those devices has been patched. What I am trying to say is they have roms that are decent but it took them forever to get S-Off and their development was crippled by it.

Never, since using Android ,have I ever thought about giving up on HTC until now
399$ Nexus looking real good right now.
Don't do it man, I had a galaxy nexus and I miss AOSP but Samsung makes some plastic ass phones. It'll get better in due time. The One S has an advantage over the One X and maybe the SGSIII in that the European model and US model are exactly the same.

I hear you man. I have always praised HTC build quality over Samsung.
I do agree that the S is better than the X. Phone is a BEAST. Just wish it was not handcuffed to Sense
For now the best I can do is keep using Black Dragon Rom which "looks" for the most part aosp.
Another wah-baby post... sad. I thought most people would realize it might be a couple of months before there is a fully functional and stable AOSP build. I did. Whatever.

The G2 was awesome. Very large and very good development support for it since it is also the same as Desire Z.
Sold it after getting One S. I had ICS on it working good including camera. Gingerbread was lightning fast on it.

You are missing the point. Of course I did not expect huge development this early for the S. What you are missing is that the support my not get a chance due to HTC and HTC is misleading<which is what this thread is about.
