Well they might not be laughing too long with Google's purchase of Moto. Never know where I'll spend MY money next. They ain't the only game in town. I just posted that on FB

Unbelievable. What is wrong with HTC? I can't believe they'd want to alienate users of one of their recent phones like this.

I saw this on their site
"HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, certain models may not be unlockable due to operator restrictions. We continue to work with our partners on this, check back often for ongoing updates about unlockable devices."
Which means if Sprint says NO, I guess HTC's hands are tied.

Can someone post a link? I wish to speak my mind

Sprint really has no reason to say no because 2 of the phones unlockable by this tool are sprint phones

My thinking exactly,I keep coming to remmember when agrbren announced he'd found an exploit ? Then talked to HTC about said exploit,Wondering with a hint of conspiracy if that hole exists in our kernel and they are working to close it? But then they wouldn't have released the 3d and Sensation kernel so fast> just rambling Tirerd need to go to bed, long night tonite.

I just upgraded it to froyo 2.25. But damn it doesnt even have a gmail lol. Oh well. Anyone know if my app backup will work?

They are busy there, but they focus on Samsung Phones.... I checked there daily when I used a Transform...
FYI, I don't recommend Samsung phones... They have nice specs, but need replacement Roms to really shine, and even then they still have issues.... My biggest gripe was no CM7 port....

Wow, if you're sure it can be done easily from the Nexus S dump then it must be true. Someone who can make a statement like that must have the expertise to whip up some drivers for our CDMA radio, wimax, and all the other stuff that is different in the Epic from the Nexus S. Let me know when all this "pretty easy" work is done so I can flash it.

Sure, if easy means that you and all the other super smart guys on the CM teams spend time working on it. As for the OP, I'm guessing he hasn't been committing any code.

I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure Samsung is tired of being shown up by a bunch of dev's on a forum who don't get paid for what they do. I'm not worried though because even if they go to a locked bootloader, give it a week or two and someone will find a way to unlock it or just get around it. I have full confidence in the dev's here...
This is a leak for the International version of the Galaxy S....this might not mean anything for us just yet...
At least it's a start. Given that the International versions got their Froyo in November (?), maybe we'll get ours in roughly 3 months after that due to conversions to CDMA and all the other stuff our unique Epics have.

With Moto already locking bootloaders and HTC fiddling with the idea, I think a lot of people in the scene are a bit concerned.
I can totally see the entire hobby marginalizing itself to Nexus devices some day. It's not like any major vendor is going to step up just to appeal to a tiny community of hackers any more than carriers are stepping up to make their networks strong enough for that 2% of customers sucking up bandwidth. :/
How can they legally lock the bootloaders? Wasn't it ruled that once we purchase these devices, they're OURS and we can hack/root/jailbreak them all we want?

Yes but they can develop it as they see fit and put any protections they want in. What was decided was its legal to break their protections.

You can hack it all you want and void your warranty, but they are not required to ALLOW you the ability to do it. They just can't do anything about it other than void your warranty.
yea its nexus or lg for me, source code on day 1 of sales, unlocked everything... and almost aosp system.. oh and their android phones are pretty frikken nice

It might help a bit with the camera and GPS though.
I think the Nexus S 4G source code is what is going to be the most likely to help us.

No offense to the devs,but does it really make a huge deal if its gsm/cdma? I know the difference between the 2 networks.I've had the epic since nov. Or dec. ,and coming from the htc hero the devs in that forum kicked ass(no offense to the ones here).but I noticed they'd make roms for the htc hero(cdma) from gsm roms.I belive they even got gingerbread fully working for that phone,haven't checked.sorry if it sounds like I'm pissed or something,not pointing fingers.really appreciate the work y'all done for this phone,for real.

hahahaha look now, Sprint edited it back. Theyre calling it an "unfortunate misprint" but I have a feeling it was a leak. Honestly I'm not sure how you can post in four different locations that the Evo 4G now has Android 2.3 and have it just be a mistake? Anyone else think thats a little excessive for an accident?
A lot of people are gonna be pissed when they open the box and the phone is running froyo.

You just can't help jumping on negatives.
No, it doesn't, but it was all about the Evo 3D so I'm sure it will be "unlocked" via an OTA.
Posted this in the other thread. Fantastic freaking news. I hope that, even if the E3D does ship locked, it can be unlocked through an OTA.
Lets keep it up just to be sure!! Ofcourse in a nice way! Or thank them or something, lol.
