"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
Saw this on facebook so happy hopefully they will give us something to unlock older devices or give us the keys to the castle
Great to hear that they're listening to criticism from their consumers. I wonder if they'll provide a way to unlock devices that are locked currently.
Ya I hope so shouldn't be to hard to do that really all they have to do is either give us the RSA key or make a program that flashes the bootloaders to be unlocked
What would happen to the sold locked htc device?bring back to them to unlock?
I would assume it requires them to create a signed OTA or RUU update for existing locked-loader phones, which would then include the code for an officially sanctioned unlocking agent. Anyway this is all very exciting. If the T-Mo US Sensation comes out as an open phone it's high on my next-phone list.
I for one welcome our unlocked overlords.

Good win but it want mean nothing if HTC doesnt go back and unlock the phones already locked.

Sadly there's no news on whether or not our IncS will be unlocked or not though.

I think we should wait for HTC for the next.
Because it just a current decision.......for now
HTC will have 2 ways to unlock(I think):
1. Use OTA update to unlock
2. Use Sony's advice (sign up to SE, and SE will give u unlock code)
Just had a small chat with HTC, and of course they couldn't tell a thing. I guess we just have to wait and see what will be happening.
We currently don’t have information regarding which phones will be unlocked; Keep an eye on our official website and official social media outlets for announcements about which phones will be bootloader unlocked

I think they will there would be just as many pissed off people if they didn't unlock the inc s the policy wasn't stated all future phones it said the dissolved the bootloader policy meaning the phones that came out will most likely be included ..
But for now I think it stands EVO and sensation are yes inc s no idea .
But my orig post on fb to start it all up talked about inc s ..
But 3d and sensation became the topic very fast ..
I emailed the same guy who gave me info on EVO 3d just now so patients ..

Not really bad as the older phones are still locked. Thus XTC will still make money off them...

We.don't.know if HTC will unlock the current models but if they do xtc for HTC devices = what's the point anymore ..
But until they announce it we have no idea but Mr Chou said no longer locking devices its a very undefined answer to my origanal requests on facebook.
if u look was sensation inc s and EVO 3d but as I said the focus quickly turned to just sensation and 3d so only time will tell

I dont think so.There is no offical file i've seen.
whats making you guys worried? The actual Feedback was mostly from those who had locked devices. Its they who were after HTC to unlock. and its on their wish HTC has decided to unlock bootloaders..
Hello everyone,
I just made an online petition to obtain ICS for our device. I know someone can say we only want last release of an operating system and such. In my opinion, that's false. We want something we paid for. I gave LG my trust and they disappointed me. Please, sign the petition, if you share my thoughts, or at least give it a read.

Why dont you just file a complaint directly to the your country's consumer protection agency?

Mainly for two reasons, mate:
- I have many friends with LG2x and they can't flash, for a million of reasons, they are afraid of bricks, afraid of not finiding confortable with custom roms, bugs, etc... and I, as CM user, think that we should all get updates, for the money we spent in the phone and the disappointing feeling. We use CM, but it's bad LG just discontinued her flagship phone.
- It's not only Italy's problem: if it were just Italy, I would have worked on other releases and made it available as custom rom, as every other person on this forum would do, but it's a common problem, and I thought we need a common solution.
Thanks for your reply, if I sounded rude, please forgive me, it's only difficult to explain such things in a foreign language.

no, its fine. I did sign the petition before replying to the thread. The consumer protection agency one was just a suggestion. I am in Maldives and we dont have an LG office/branch here, therefor we cannot do anything against them.
lets first see we can get gingerbread
they promise it on the (netherlands-belgium) website
they say "always updated to the latest version of android with one click on the button"

For what I could understand, smaller offices, like italians just works as test units, so it would be a waste of time to keep in touch with them...

nice try, but no one will give a f*-ck about it !
as for other android phones : you get the version installed & 1 update ...
so ... froyo + GB , that´s it. then our phone is outdated.
companies want to make money & sell new phones, so that´s their policy ...
i can sign your petition if you like, but it will change nothing ...
sorry, but that´s the truth
but at least we have official CM support, so when ICS SDK is available, we will get it from this source
Even the gb leaks are based on froyo kernels. Face it we are never going to get gingerbread let alone ICS because LG simply can't do it. (I blame nvidia aswell btw but thats a whole different story)

I just curious, what features on ICS could be implemented on our device?
I wonder if ICS on our device could work as well as on the other device?
I'm sorry, I mean no harm, I've signed the petition as well. I just want to know the advantage if official ICS came.

Hey guys, my previous phone was a HTC and there was this gr8 game teeter. Gr8 for wasting time... :laugh:
My Question:
Is it possible to get Teeter on our O4X?
I tried it, by copying the teeter.apk from the sense firmware that was provided here somewhere, but the textures were weird... (although the game worked gr8...)
PLzzzz help me!

You won't get it to work, because HTC's Teeter needs the Sense framework. So either wait for a Sense port or use a non-HTC teeter in the meantime.

Oh, and while you wait for HTC to make a Teeter version that will run on phones which aren't from them, try this. Took me about 5 seconds to enter "teeter" into the search field.

R u arguing with me? Well, if u insist, It's ON.
Btw, nice, the link.... but isn't that illegal??? I mean, its the Software of HTC... Copyright of HTC... property of HTC...
The link also shows, that it's possible to run Teeter on ANY smartphone with android... So, all HTC gotta do, is find this link and decide, wether they use it for themselves or maybe sue XDA because of the rights....
Or they just do HTC teeter for all android smartphones on their own...
It's their decision...
Maybe HTC will be more competent than u r and make it, as I suggested...
So, please Shut Up and let's wait quietly...
Thanx

I'd say it's as illegal as making sense ports for non-HTC devices.
