Signed bootloader confirmed:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...d-bootloader-custom-rom-support-is-in-danger/
I didnt think anyone actually thought this WOULDN'T happen. I mean I totally expected it. Thats why I didn't even bother waiting.
They will find a way around it for sure... Won't they?
Surely, but it might take some time. It took a while to go perm-root on the Thunderbolt. Might take longer on this.

Only if they can find the keys.
it'll get cracked, but have you seen the thunderbolt rooting process? not the simplest. i'm on a N1 but will make a move soon, probably to the g2x because its unlockable. i do love htc hardware though.

Not necessarily. With the Thunderbolt the signed keys to unlock the bootloader fell on someone's lap. It was really mere luck. WIthout the signed keys it's impossible to unlock the bootloader. Perhaps the same key fairy will deliver the unlock code to the Sensation, but short of that, unlocking a signed bootloader is next to near impossible.
Deng, I was about to wait for the Sensation too. I made the right choice buying the G2x. Can't wait for more development on this!
Well this is good news to me as it merely proves to me that I made the right choice. This phone is barely 3 weeks old and we already have 17 CM nightlies. Yea I'm good. Glad I didn't torture myself by trying to wait.
The sensation will be another physically huge phone, too. it seems like that's all htc makes anymore - evo, inspire, thunderbolt, sensation - w/ the exception of the incredible. i had an evo for almost a year (launch day last june) and while it was a great phone, it always seemed just a little too big for me. the g2x is just the right size, imao.

My thoughts exactly, just that much too big...I did like that Evo though. But this is a better one!

Exactly. They lucked out with the Thunderbolt. The Sensation could end up being like the the D2 and DX, where they have yet to be cracked. Presumably the Sensation will be a bit easier (not encrypted), but you never know.

Correct, it's not hardware locked which Moto did with eFuse. But anything not signed with the proper keys won't work. So in effect, it's just as bad as what Moto did, difference is that HTC is doing it at the software level.

Does it really matter. Coming from the vibrant I like to mod. But I still like the sensation. Its just not quite what I want.
The dedicated games to the tegra. The vanilla android. The dual core for multi tasking. Modders dream. That is the g2x.
Not the sensation.
The only thing I miss is the toggle options being in the notification pull down. And it seems that will be a short lived problem.

No useful Information.
then why not pose the question in one of the 2-3 other threads on the Sensation forums? if you read those posts no one knows how to get around this.

when you reboot and this happens just change to a different skin.sense will restart and problem solve. then just change to your original skin and thats it.

@SNK180, that trick worked! Thanks
@ snk180. Great that worked well. Its obviously a bug in sense and how it loads the icons from the sd card. I'm sure HTC will fix it in the next maintenance update.

Well smart guy, from what I have seen , it is very easy to use, I have done around 30 phones so far. The problem comes up on SH serialized phones, HT serialized phones are no problem. So, trust me , it's not user error, it's some else about the SH phones. And yes I understand it is case sensitive for the key. Anyone with a helpful idea? Just because my post count is low, does not make me a noob at this. I just prefer to post when I can contribute and not just for the hits.

Let's put it this way. You are the first person to say that there is a problem with SH phones. There is nothing you've done on these forums to give you credibility, your attitude sucks and you don't give any info to work from. Noob or not, but that's where you start, be polite, ask question and give as much info as you can, about the phone obviously
Otherwise, Foxtrot Oscar.
Start all over. Make sure adb recognized ur phone. Or like the other guy said use tge htc dev way.

I have owned a phone repair center in Florida for 12 years. I pretty much know what I am doing by now. The problem is not the drivers, I have the newest installed . It is that revolutionary sees the key as invalid. It generates the same key if I use the SH or HT prefix for the serial. I tried a second SH serialized phone yesterday, same issue. What is the tge htc dev approach, never have seen that one yet.

I don't know why anyone is trying to help this guy. He gets hurt so easily and apparently, knows EVERYTHING he's doing. Except he can't get this rooted using the EASIEST method ever. I bought this phone, ran that **** and bam, done. I didn't need to own no phone repair centre for any years, I just had to get basic simple education!
Anyways, I suggest everyone just to leave him, he'll figure it out. Afterall he's owned that repair centre and has a terrible attitude. I think you'll pop a blood vessel if you continue to get hurt so easily sir!
Actually, he's very reasonable now. Razor, as it happens, I came across some HTC unlock tool (unofficial from devs here) which went quietly under the radar. If you want I can post link in the evening when I get to my pc. Or, just google HTC bootloader unlock, but that let's HTC know that you messed with bootloader.

I saw this another website (can't link you to it, against XDA rules, sorry!) and it looked interesting. Give me your opinions, thoughts.
***DISCLAIMER***
In no way do I have any solid information from T-Mobile regarding the new MyTouch line, I am simply posting based on information from tmonews.com, and other sites.
According to sources (and a very convincing video posted by the guys over at engadget), the newest Manufacturer to add the MyTouch to their resume will be Huawei. It is said to be a mid range phone, however testers have stated that potential buyers should not be concerned about the device being mid range, stating that it is very solid, and smooth in testing.
My only experience with Huawei has been very low end entry devices, so I am curious what other's thoughts on this might be. Give me your opinions in the comments!

i just got the new myTouch last week when it was released. I had the one from HTC as that was my replacement to my G2 from Asurion. Have the say the HTC one was a piece of garbage. Worst phone i ever had, thank god it broke a week after i got it and i was forced to get the new myTouch. This device is everything that the G2 was but better. Sure the HTC cam was a really nice piece of hardware, but only the stock OS could run it and that just wasn't worth running.
I'm hoping to root this device tonight!

I appear to have completely bricked my One X. I've searched high and low to find a thread about this exact problem.
Basically, what is happening is that my One X is stuck on a solid black screen. I have no idea if it's on or off. The LED is not on when I plug it into anything, my PC doesn't recognize it no matter what USB port/cable I use, but it does make the sound like it's connecting. It beeps 3 times rapidly when I connect it, though. Capacitive lights are off.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Would you care to mention what you did to the phone before it stopped working?
I was flashing a custom ROM in TWRP. It said it flashed, and then I clicked reboot, and then it went to black screen and won't do anything from this point on.
This is like pulling teeth! What ROM? Are you messing with the quad core htc one x stuff again?
it was IceColdJelly, I have the Rogers HTC One X, the Evita.
You have an ice cold brick now. You can try the unbricking thread but based on how well you follow directions I'd be shocked if you figured it out
*facepalm*
