great news regarding locked boot loaders

So people do listen:
http://htcpedia.com/news/your-voices-have-been-heard-htc-will-no-longer-lock-bootloaders.html
http://www.facebook.com/HTC/posts/10150307320018084
Although the questions are:
1) when is the next phone due to come out so we can see of they're true to their word ?
2) and more importantly for us, will they htc ever unlock the currently locked devices (DS&IS etc) using OTA updates?
I think that the locking of the sensation, their flagship device and one that many devs intend to buy was the last straw for the community leading to such a large backlash and probably was the tipping point for htc as locking may have affected sales and bottom line.
EDIT: didn't realize that the other post for the petition on boot loaders in the DS forum contained this news also.

No that is the point, nothing has be been said about ota updates as yet, so we will have to wait for another press release from htc or confirmation from elsewhere

In the midst of the thanks they posted this.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not getting my hopes up until more details arrive. I would like to know if they mean just new phones though, because I would like to be able to root my Desire S without an issue in the future.

It's in the news that Xperia Android phone that had been unlocked will never going to get an official fw update. Wonder, what would be the situation with HTC?

http://www.facebook.com/HTC/posts/10150307320018084
"There has been overwhelmingly customer feedback that people want access to open bootloaders on HTC phones. I want you to know that we've listened. Today, I'm confirming we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices. Thanks for your passion, support and patience," Peter Chou, CEO of HTC

Pretty sure its the same with HTC .. i hope the test signed RUU for DS never reach public eyes for same reason now.

Dont see what the problem is if you dont get official updates once bootloader unlocked. The whole point is to install custom ROM so why would you need original software?

I would like to unlock the correct way true HTC . Not some homemade workaround .. witch is not made yet..Hope you understand.

Not everybody wants a custom rom, I am happy with small modifications on the original rom as I like Sense very much. Which is one cause to buy a HTC in the first place.

Very true. After flashing dif'rent roms onto my Old Desire, I've always comes back to stock (rooted) Sense. Apps that needed Superuser is another thing.

does that means that desire S will not have bootloader lock removed ????????????

No, it means it's HTC support and they know what we know - nothing. There is no part where guy from support said there won't be unlocked bl for ds. Just have patience, it won't do any good to write to htc support.

I am thinking of buying a htc desire s tomorrow, and this only makes me more excited, i am able to buy almost every htc phone, but i think the desire s have the perfect size and possessor, not need more..
Lets hope they release a way to unlock the phone so we can have custom roms!

It answers only part of the question - new devices. We are trying to figure out, if htc plans to unlock current devices. You should at least read context of this discussion.

i wrote an email yesterday asking about my desire s bootloader and got a very different response
" Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your mobile phone HTC Desire S.
I understand that you wish to know if your phone will get an update to unlock the Bootloader.
We’re pleased to announce that we have heard everyone’s comments and constructive suggestions and have decided to go forward with this initiative. Currently we don’t have a schedule yet, but stay tuned; we will let you know via through our official website and official social media outlets.
Regarding which phones will be unlocked, currently we don’t have information but keep an eye on our official website and official social media outlets for announcements about which phones will be bootloader unlocked."
you notice it specificaly mentions "update to unlock the bootloader"
so to me thats pretty clear they understand im not just talking about phones still to come, but phones already out

"Currently we don’t have a schedule yet"
Damn, it can take months
But reading the response we can we 100% sure they are talking about current locked devices
Also, seems they were thinking of keeping locked part of them by reading this line
"about which phones will be bootloader unlocked"

hi there
someone told me that it seems that i forgot Polaris to install
here you are

Hey Guys,
Last week I got the Acer Iconia A700.
Since then, i'm running on the ROM CoolOne700 V1.
So far, no problems, everything's fine.
Great Rom for great German Users
Thank You!
Greetz, SoLdieR9312

Hey Guys!
A friend of mine almost bricked his device by flashing this ROM.
His device was powered by CM10 with the stock unlocked bootloader and ICS CWM 6.0.2.3 Touch.
After flashing rebooting the only thing on the display immediately after showing the bootlogo was "Boot image verified failed". So appearently the ROM relocked the bootloader and destroyed CWM.
He was able to get into fastboot and unlock the bootloader again and therefore was able to boot into the ROM but the touchscreen calibration is messed up. He mentioned that it was already during the AROMA installation which lead us to the assumption that CWM was not compatible.
He will try to reflash everything with JB CWM in version 6.0.1.4.

Yes, in order to install a JB based ROM, you need the JB compatible CWM. Where did this 6.0.2.3 come from? Use 6.0.1.5 from pawitp. I've used it and swapped/flashed ROMs at least ten times. Never encountered that issue (or any issue). As a matter of fact, I would just run Vorbeth's EasyRoot as it does all the grunt work for you. I've used it twice and it worked flawlessly.

And I will throw a concur with the previous.
If you are on ICS with an ICS bootloader, you don't want to be flashing JB roms. Don't work.
Also, you don't want to be flashing ANY Rom, until you look at the installer/Aroma scripts, and see just exactly what's going on. To do so, is ludicrous. In some cases, we include the recent JB bootloader in the install.
Your mate can easily fix this, by doing the Data "toggle" to delete the previous installed data, then flashing a stock rom afte flashing a stock recovery.

Carrier Name

Before, with ICS, I used carrier name to change the carrier name displayed because it was too long ...
I'm now on JB, and the program still works but the name is no more changed ...
Do you have another solution to rename - remove this fu**ing name that take half of my navbar space ?
Thank you

Ich bin nicht in der Lage, etwas zu verstehen, Bruder
Sie geben in Ihrer eigenen Sprache werde ich verstehen,

Ok,
vielleicht geht es ja auf deutsch?
Ich habe letzte Woche auf meinem Wiko Rainbow die Version2 installiert.
Die Version läuft sehr gut, Akku hält lang und das Phone ist schnell.
Aber eine Sache geht nicht, meine Moto360 Watch verbindet sich nicht über Bluetooth.
Mein MI-Band, mein Auto und meine Freisprecheinrichtung verbinden sich ohne Probleme.
Ich habe das Phone und die Uhr auf Werkszustand zurück gesetzt, mehr mal sogar.
Aber die beiden verbinden sich nicht.
Mit dem Mere ROM habe ich keine Probleme.
Last week I installed on my Wiko Rainbow the Version2.
The version is very good, battery lasts long and the phone is fast.
But one thing does not go, my Moto360 Watch does not connect via Bluetooth.
My MI-band, my car and my speakerphone connect without problems.
I have the phone and the clock set to Factory data reset, even more times.
But the two do not connect.
By Mere ROM I have no problems.
Is this better?
Thanks in advance.:good:

Please give md5 for V3 update..so I know k downloaded the file correctly please help asap

after resetting your watch, you must unpair the watch from your phone, then go to settings/apps/android wear "clear data" . then start the whole pairing process again.

Servus,
after reset of phone and clock, everything was indeed deleted!
Also the pairing of clock and phone.
I did that and then even done only individually and both devices.
It is to despair, my Pebble Watch has found it right away, but the Moto360 Watch does not find it.

RAiner

Hi.
I'm using Mystic ROM v3. The ROM is quite awesome! Thnx for that but is there any battery fix or patch? Although it's quite good but Battery drops from 22 or 21 to directly 15.

[Tutorial] FNF Ifive Mini 4s custom recovery and root

I finally managed to get a custom recovery and root working on my new FNF Ifive Mini 4s
I found This post, that claimed to be a recovery working for all tablets with a rk3288 chipset, so i decided to check it out. I would like to say thanks to Oma7144 for making the post on archtablet.com and another huge thanks to CrewRKTablets who made the tool and recoveries
The tool can in theory also install TWRP, which actually also worked for me, but the touch part does not work so it is pretty useless. This is why we are going to use ClockworkMod If anyone figures out how to get TWRP working, please do tell me
So first of all you need to download the recovery tool and a supersu of your choosing. Chainfire seemed to be the only thing working, so I am going to use that.
Chainfire SU
Recovery tool (New link thanks to k8500)
Now follow these steps:
Extract the recovery tool
Enter the RKDriverInstaller folder and run Driverinstall.exe as admin.
Press Uninstall driver
Press Install driver
Enter the RKAndroidTool folder and run AndroidTool.exe as admin.
Turn off your tablet
Enter Loader mode by connecting your tablet to the computer with the included usb cable and pressing Power-button and Vol-.
The AndroidTool should look like this now.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Check box number 12 as shown here.
Press run. Your tablet should reboot now.
Now transfer the Supersu zip file to the tablet.
Turn off the tablet and enter your new recovery by pressing the power button and Vol- button. This time without the powercable in.
Nagivate to install zip with the Vol- and Vol+. Select it by pressing the powerbutton once.
Select Choose zip from /Sdcard
Now find your zip file and select it.
Confirm the installation by selecting Yes.
Now reboot. If CWM asks if it should repair supersu select No.
You should now be rooted.
If you did something wrong and ended up in a bootloop I have written a tutorial on how to fix it. You can find it here.

Hello, still running one with 1.1.1.C image.
I has definitely some bugs but I don't know if it would ever be recycled so I'm trying to integrate it into a DIY project.
Any backup of modded LineageOS 14.1 by Oma (aka post 61) ?

Hello,
I own a Fnf iFive mini 4 (not the 4s) and I'm also interested in the lineage 14.1 ROM build by OMA. Unfortunately, all links on arctablet are down...
Is there anyone who have a backup of the package referenced in the 1st post ?
Thank you in advance
PS : my old iFive is still running the custom Riley ROM under Kit Kat !

I have read the 18th pages of arc tablet forum. OMA did NOT manage to build a stable build. That's the reason we cannot find files. It is without support and non working. OMA did not own the device so it was rather difficult to debug specific issue, as most people don't know what is a log and how to send it.
- Touchscreen had a strange mapping (inverted input in some cases!)
- Wifi driver was not found as on some models running an unsupported version.
- battery voltage was not readable.
I will try to flash android 10 but I'm expecting to encounter similar issues. Main reason is beacause it is a cheap tablets, some shortcuts have been taken.
Nevertheless, Android 6.0 with root is very well supported thanks to Xposed (not tested on this device yet).
Also there are dev boards with similar specs (no display though) so we can find some kernels on Github...

4s on 1.1.1C
There's a link for some stock roms
- Magisk ZIP install doesn't seem to work.
- So we only have limited CWM (no SDext/ No install) -> that would require to
- SuperSU works fine.
- Only way to flash is to use the Custom crewRKT windows tool. Using .img format
- some work required to build a custom kernel, without proper drivers that might be difficult

Worked well. Thanks !

You did not enter the loader mode correctly. You have to plug your device in first, and then pres the power butten and vol- at the same time.

Happy to help

Hoffe es ist ok das ich auf Deutsch schreibe.
Die Anleitung ist gut, gut verständlich (Vielen Dank dafür !), und cwm und root funktionieren mit dem FNF Ifive Mini 4S problemlos, genau wie das aufspielen der aktuelle Rom 1.0.6.
Leider kommt es zum beenden der google Dienste nach deren Aktualisierung, aber auch nur wenn man explizit die Dienste aktualisiert. Ich weiß nicht ob das mit cwm/root Rechnen zusammenhängt.
Kennt jemand hier das Problem oder kann vlt helfen ?

I have now written a review on the tablet
You can read it here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/review-fnf-ifive-mini-4s-tablet-t3590084

Instructions are perfect... thanks a million. Great tablet too.

Thanks, this works well. Only problem is that CWM recovery is very limited... no USB storage, no ADB, no external SD card support CWM backups work OK though.

Works!!!
Many thanks!!!
Another tablet updated and rooted.
Great work!!
PD: Waiting for TWRP, it has more tools and tactile does not work for me.

This is the sequence that works for me:
1 - Press the - volumen
2 - Wait a second
3 - Push the power button
4 - When you see some message in the window application (in the "usb hubs") leave both buttons.
