Could our ics update have been delayed because they are encrypting our bootloader for the upgrade?
Sent from PhoneRom (ThunderShed)
I don't think so. I think it's because it's the thunderbolt lol.

Lol yeah that's true, just after all the irritated people finding their sgs3 with an encrypted bootloader makes me nervous of Verizon.

It would be kind of stupid to encrypt a bootloader that hasn't been but verizon could possibly have them do it.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
I doubt you'll see it here. I think the real reason for the delay, is that this phone is over a year old. That's like 83 in cellphone years. Also, htc is no longer making money on this phone.
I just hope we even get the update at all. I guess we might, now that jellybean is coming out. That way we'll be acceptably behind in OS releases, just like we've always been.
Duely blundered from my thunderdolt
Has verizon ever announced an update for a device and never delivered?

No. But the only reason I said this at all is because I talked to a tech at HTC who basically implyed that the update is done, the hold up is on Verizon at this point.

Not surprising. They have to take it apart and add all their bs to it before they send it out. At least we know htc is finished so maybe verizon won't take too long.

Nah, I doubt they will encrypt the bootloader.
I really wish Verizon would hurry up! Any day now...

Yea... I am trying to hold on to the T bolt and my grandfathered unlimited as long as possible. I just got a spare t bolt with broken sound for 25 bucks to use as a charger/test phone for Roms! Just need ics now!

I heard it will be a NEW bootloader but not encrypted. Dont know if it is true.
I have been hearing there will be a new one. I have also heard a new root method has to be found.

You do know you can keep your plan if you buy your own phone. It doesn't have to be a thunder bolt.

For what it's worth, I emailed HTC last week and they assured me that the update will be here this month or next the latest.

What makes you think that? Unable to activate on Sprint?
Because I don't want to activate it I just to use it for fun, but it connected to 4g and started to ring as I dialed a number. So I'm scared to as in what's going to happen.
I don't want to get in trouble.

You won't get into trouble. Just say you bought of Craigslist ans show some proof that you actually did. I've been through this trust me,
Sell it, tell the buyer that you got it from a friend that didnt want it anymore, but you dont want it either, so you decided to sell it. With the money you gotfrom it, buy an other NS4G.

What exactly do I do? Do i go to sprint and tell them I bought it off craigslist and show the text messages between me and the seller. I have the seller's Posting Id, cell phone number, and email address.
I want to keep the phone as a backup and learn from.

If I find a phone ringing even though I have not activated the phone yet, I would definitely inform Sprint about it if I was in your situation. If it were me, I would be completely honest about everything.
But the end decision is yours.

Okay haha, well I'm going to be honest to sprint ill inform them. I just want to be able to keep the phone, and have them deactivate it I don't care if I wouldn't be able to activate it. Bad ESN or not I just want the device as playing/learning tool.

And I thought religious debates were over and here we are again with apple and samsung xD and yes all of us are aware of the s3's capabilities but let us allow other people to believe in their own right. They can dwell in their illusion as long as they want so let them be.
I just love how Samsung makes it look like the iphone. Jk. I know they're being sued for that. Hopefully, they don't quote me. Lol

I've used both the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the iPhone, BOTH are great phones, it's just preference for some users.
Personally I prefer the greater customization of Android, some others may prefer the ease of use in iOS.

Why couldn't it be the international, Sprint, or T-Mobile variant? Just because it isn't Verizon-branded doesn't mean it's AT&T's. I mean, I hope it is, but I really doubt it.

Seriously?
There are several threads on this topic already. A mod is not going to like this.
Answer, No.
Bro search before posting. There's already a thread on this. And so far it's cr*p. I bought an N5 to use it on Verizon. I'm gonna a try a couple tricks(don't ask please) and if it doesn't work then I'm off to Tmo or sell it for the Moto X.
