check your android version. Is it 4.04?
I think you've just closed any loopholes to rooting and unlocking the boot loader.

Oops! Well it is.. but I'm not much into rooting or changing Roms anyway. Do you know besides locking the bootloader what else this android version does? Thanks! If anything..

if it's 4.04 android you'll have more RAM and thus better multitasking. If it's similar to the leak from Asia, you can change the behavior of the recent apps button in settings. You can make it be the menu button, like god intended.

Also, some have mentioned that the multitasking memory management itself seems tweaked in the Asia 2.23 ROM. Its less aggressive about killing apps. Personally, I've been fine with the multitasking thing, so I haven't noticed much of a difference.
Other changes from the 2.23 Asia ROM, aside from the ability to remap the buttons (go Settings>Display, gestures & buttons), the ROM seems a bit smoother all around, such as going between home screens and opening the app drawer. Not too many other big differences on the surface, but that doesn't mean they didn't tweak a bunch of things under the hood.
One other real minor thing I noticed, if you plug the phone into USB, when you select what you want to do (Charge only, Disk Drive, etc.) the "Done" button is gone. I guess it gives one less thing you have to push when making your selection.
What are the kernel and baseband numbers?

You should always assume an OTA will lock you out for good. In fact, I hope it does permanently block everyone from rooting ever again just so I can laugh at all the people who blindly accept an OTA because they think it will turn their phone into a sex doll or something. I can understand that type of behavior on Android Central, but this is xda and it's geared directly at people who root/mod their phones. If a stupid MR OTA is more important than being able to root, then xda is not the forum for you. FYI this comment is not a personal attack, it is a general statement for everyone who jumps to accept an OTA without thinking.

I remember the HTC aria 2.2 froyo update locked rooting out for a while, but the persistent devs the fixed that fairly quick stop I wouldn't worry too much :thumbup:
As for JB, it took 9mo for the HTC Rezound to get ICS, sooooo...
Sent from my HTC One X

Wasn't too worried about being locked out for good. Thought I was with the last update. This phone is a far cry from my little Aria but like to follow along with developments and don't mind testing things out for those who want keep root but want to know what the future holds for the stock phones that will becoming out with this update

AT&T 2.20 Kernel Source Available

The kernel source code for the 2.20 AT&T update is finally available on htcdev. I know this doesn't change much, this is just more of a heads up for those who were waiting.

it does change a lot! thats the 4.0.4 source we were waiting for if I am not mistaken

This will help in fixing that LTE bug in CM10/AOKP JB I believe

And freeing up the extra RAM that this kernel unlocks

It's about time

Took long enough, lol. It will be nice to see development take off again!

They gave us the source. But if we mod/fix it, it won't work on our phones correct? Or did they unlock the bootloader?

those of us with Root and unlocked bootloaders can use custom kernels.

Does not matter anymore. They are using the open source HAL. Mostly all the issues with the camera are gone. Only bust mode is outstanding.
The special functionality with the chip set will be missed though...

I guess I just don't understand why they would give us the source if we can't legitimately use it. Everyone who is rooted/unlocked did it without HTC's consent. Are we supposed to find bugs (without testing?) then submit them to HTC so they can place them in the latest update? Essentially doing the work of their developers?

By law they are required to provide kernel source.

I really hope the devs really work on this and poop out a lot of new stuff.. the forum been kind of drury recently. When 4.0.3 was released it seemed as though every jizzed themselves twice. But I didn't see too many things available? My first android so I don't know how these things work. Is it because these devs are so badass they don't need source as much as they thought? Lol

My understanding is that by the time the previous kernel source was released, it was already outdated as roms were being built on 4.0.4 instead of 4.0.3. With this, we're up to date at least until 4.1 drops.

He said he didn't want to make a thread for this. I'd remove the download link and say it's on his twitter.
Either way, I couldn't get this upload to work either. Any idea why that is? md5 matched, would reboot once it got to the lockscreen. I wiped everything(system, dalvik, cache, and data) in 4ext and it still didn't work.
Does this happen to anybody else?

Several people over on Rootzwiki are reporting bootloops with the new upload too.

Others will be able to give you a more specific explanation, but it's a result of not having source for kernel, which HTC doesn't have to release until 90 days after official ICS release

Technically, they have to release source immediately after the OTA goes out, but their lawyers are good enough that it isn't really worth fighting(and we don't really have a right to complain, source isn't needed for the average user). The Linux kernel is under the GPL v2, you are free to read it, and in that document there is nothing documenting a 90 day waiting period. Honestly, HTC is just lazy and will do their own thing. I'd just be happy that they give us source at all. Eventually somebody will fix the camera(possibly before source drops), but it isn't a huge priority(especially since this rom doesn't even load past the lockscreen), and if you really need it that badly, you can dual boot an ICS rom with a gingerbread rom that has a working camera.

The only pain is for all you crack flashers that flash 5 roms a day (which is ridiculous)....and not having s off doesn't make it that much more time consuming to flash a Rom , all the roms have a boot IMG script that does all the commands for you , so if you already have fastboot and adb on your cp (wich you should if you flash roms) it is a minor issue ....
Sent from me

I got my answer from someone who owns both the gnex and the one s. The galaxy nexus rules. US crack flashers like to be able to flash whenever we want to or when we need to. Especially if I am away and a ROM isn't running as it should or if a kernel is buggy it's always nice to be a crack flasher. Opinions are like assholes.

Well there is no best ROMs. It is all preference. Also, saying what is the best ROM is against the rules. I suggest looking in the development sections and scrolling thru. No one here is going to tell you what to flash. If you like viper just five it go. If you want clean ROM then flash it.
A perfect example is the fact I stopped liking sense, but you may still want to stick with it. Get my point?
