No more locked bootloaders on HTC phones - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Didnt know if anyone happened to see this today or not...HTC CEO announced no more locked bootloaders on upcoming HTC phones. not sure if this will impact the 2.20 update or if AT&T will allow it but, nice none the less
sorry cant post links, but the article is on techspot . com

They said the same thing before....I won't hold my breath

Yeah that statement sounds awfully familiar

I'll believe it when I see it.

Nothing I can find on tech spot regarding htc and bootloader except for last year's lie.

their ceo is high everytime he releases such statement, dont believe him.

omg again? lol he said the same thing last year and they locked them down even more

I'm thinking you read an old article. I searched techspot and like gunny, all I found was last years announcement that they failed to make good on.
Was this the article you read? You should really learn to check the dates on these things- http://www.techspot.com/news/43977-htc-ceo-says-future-phones-will-be-more-root-friendly.html

i laugh because i told those guys long ago that htc wouldn't unlock the bootloader at launch and i got my butt reamed over it. now most of them are returning their devices. in case you haven't heard unless a dev achieves cracking the bootloader htc is not unlocking that phone.

they have achieved temp root, they cannot crack the encrypted bootloader, which means no recovery or custom roms. it's not about achieving root, it's about achieving "full root" and nand access.

I know what these things mean, DroidX had an encrypted bootloader also, now that is unlocked...
Anything can be bypassed, PS3 took how many years?
I guess you need to laugh at others for no reason to feel better about yourself?

if you knew some of the users on the evo section you would laugh too. and no, i can bet none of those devs will crack a encrypted bootloader unless they get the keys from htc. as you said it could take years and most of them will return the device.

Not polite to ask when something will be done or released. A couple very talented individuals are working on it. When they are done it will be released. Have patience.

Well, we have to consider many things.
First and most importantly, Google just acquired Motorola's mobile phones division for $12.5 billion. That means that they are gonna be a major hardware manufacturer and the phones that they make will probably be able to handle Android better than the rest of the competition.
Also, don't forget that 2011 is the year of the rabbit. The rabbit is a swift little creature and it doesn't like to get caught.
If we compare cyanogemod to the rabbit, and then compare that to google's purchase of Moto's mobile division, then we can clearly see that there's no connection between any of these things.
So long story short, yes, we still don't know. We're all just sitting tight.
sad part is once they get cm7 they will want something else lol
I'm hoping for a MIUI released right after that

That does seem to be the way the world works these days, right? I rofl at people with a sense of entitlement.
Honestly, does it really even matter right now when CM7 will be released? Seemingly every day our wonderful developers are releasing new ROM's. Pick one, love it, and live with it. Or pick a few and love them!

Very understandable. In the time I've been with this forum, I've seen a lot of that going on and it's ridiculous. Internet browsers should pop up a notice saying "Don't forget the search feature!" when somebody opens a new tab or window lol

Not that I can tell. The fix is very easy, unscrew 7-8 screws put on replacement. Screws back in the back and profit.
Problem...can't find the damn replacement part that works for VZW and Samsung won't send a replacement part.

Do you wonder why you aren't getting a warm reception?
First there is this exact thread posted by someone else already going in this forum, at one point it was literally right on top of yours. Second is your attitude. Mistawolfe asked if you had googled it and you came back with a smart ass response...
Next time you're along for help lose the attitude if you really want someone to help you. Until then you can find your own part as far as I'm concerned.
I am glad I found this...I was going to order the international version as well because mine has a scratch on it.
Would really love a link as well..I have googled to no end. All I can find is the cemera replacement module itself.

We all know how to use Google. Some of us were looking for help or solutions. Obviously we didn't find them on Google or this site. That's the reason for this thread. Please provide useful help and information. Don't think that's a lot to ask.

Based on comments John Wu has made on Twitter it is doable, but is going to require major changes to Magisk. I believe he is going to wait for the final release before he starts.

Looks like you were answering the question of rooting Q with the lack of Verizon unlockable bootloader as your example with the "never buy from a carrier" comment when nobody claimed in this thread that they did buy from a carrier. Q is rooted, and that appears to be the reason for the "chewing on those words" comment. If your original comment was just to say that Verizon wouldn't get BL unlocked... wrong thread.
