Hi, I’m Christina, and I’ll be glad to assist you today. I understand how important it is for your device to function properly. HTC does not support leaked versions of the ROMS because of this we are unsure whether you will be able to install the new version of the ROM. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Thank you for contacting HTC America Technical Support.
I hate how stupid HTC reps think people are. I sent three emails to finally get a somewhat decent response.
Now that it is quite humerous.... Thank you for that, I needed a laugh. BTW, why are you so worried about getting the OTA? The leaked v3 is very identical to the OTA.... just download that instead...

The ota wouldn't get you root anyway. The hboot image isn't updated by the ota so you would still be in the exact same spot you are right now.

haha like i mean see if anything new comes up by the time i get around to doing whatever i want to my phone. maybe if im patient then something bigger will happen
Well, the only development to come to the eris for a while is going to be new roms. root for leakers is still not here yet, and from what ive seen wont be for a bit. We already have root. and the Eris Master App makes it super simple. just get a new phone and root it. with root, you can install roms that have OTA included, plus better themes, and can do a lot more than with just 1.5 or 2.1 non root.
Just curious, how many developers are working on root for leakers?
According to VZW support's twitter account (http://twitter.com/vzwsupport), "@jfkerekes Yes, leakers should receive the OTA by 5/24. Manual download is not available. *NK"

Verizon reps are stupid as hell and dont know what theyre talking about most of the time.
HTC is the source and they know everything but just arent happy to share until bugged 24/7.
http://www.psdowngrade.com/
My idea is to use the same way Devs made PSFreedom for PS Downgrade. What we'd need to achieve and make it work ?
What is the aim to use psdowngrade for PS3 ? to downgrade firmware ? thought ps freedom what just update to be compatible with lastest ps3 update said engadget.
Yes, by allowing the user to downgrade to 3.41.
Sony wrote out the USB debug support so unless someone writes a custom firmware with it in, we're stuck at 3.41

Well, firstly, you'll need to wait for someone to obtain and reverse-engineer the new device and work out how to get it working with generic devices, once they've done that then it might not be much work at all to patch it into psfreedom.

Exactly. The best thing we can do at this point is wait and reverse engineer the device when it comes out. Unless of course someone leaks some of the reverse engineering beforehand.

There have been a few little things leaked in the past day that I've seen, but I don't think full working code is out there yet.
Anything useful (sources, working binaries, information) anyone finds (not just ads, demos etc of the ps downgrade working) please post here or forward them onto klutsh. As more information comes out I don't see why this couldn't be implemented into psfmod.

Is there any news regarding this? Would be really nice if we could downgrade PS3 firmware with our precious Android.
Yea it would be nice to be able to downgrade with our android phones. i have the droid eris and have just rooted and put psfreedom on it so i have been looking for a way to downgrade my ps3. i was a noob and formated my hd trying to see if that would work XD good thing for back ups. well i did just download the files so i do hope to see something like psfreedom for the android

Downgrade and then no online play? That kinds of sucks!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
well after downgrading you can update again to play online and then downgrade again etc etc.
so basically 3.41 to do homebrew and backups and 3.50 for online gaming with orig games...
any news? my xbox360 just died (again...) and im thinking of ditching it for a ps3 if this gets done

I just had a suggestion, we should just make it simple for this fine phone and devs
or someone should develop a simple unrevoked root and unlock method just like the evo uses.
Current methods are rediculous, all though i got it done,its a hassle for others.
We need to get clockwork through rom manager and get this phone goin with some rom development
the hassle of unlocking bootloader is to much!!
Cmon devs make a one click tool!!
oh mercyful lord, please forgive us, for we have forsaken the most sacred rule!
we have so forgotten that in hacking a device we must not only defeat all security measures on said device, we must do more then include instructions for free on how to do it yourself. we must make it so it does it for you.
/sarcasm
seriously dude? you think that this thought hadnt crossed anyones mind? unrevoked does htc, hence why there is no unrevoked for all the locked moto bootloaders. rather then complain about it take a dive, learn some code figure out how things work and try helping.
and in case you didnt pick up on the irony of it all, check teh dev section i have a one click... just need to fix it thats all >_>

Mods please close this thread.
Guys, let's not let this forum get away from us. I've been apart of other forums that have been ruined by this same sense of entitlement. This stuff will all happen but you have to be patient. The Photon has only been out a very short time.
Besides, rooting is a very simple procedure with ADB. As Shabby said, the one click is on the way. Ticking off the developers is not the way to get things done faster. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Please remember that before posting nonsense like this.
This thread is hilarious.

Obviously written by someone who didn't have an Evo on launch day, and doesn't remember that Unrevoked wasn't out until the phone had been out for quite some time. The original root method for the Evo was considerably more difficult than the new Photon method.

By the way you type and spell, maybe you are just too dumb for a method like this. I am a complete noob when it comes to rooting and didn't have a single problem following the instructions. Don't assume that others are as stupid as you are. Most people here are happy with what has been given to us.

Totally agree. He had a suggestion, he did not insult anybody's intellectual property, nor did he directly or indirectly insult any dev for not putting out good work. He simply indicated that current methods are a little involved and that in an ideal environment, we should strive for simplicity. I don't know any dev worth their salt who isn't compelled to debug their code, to improve it, and to learn from their mistakes. Frankly I'm a little surprised at the reaction. Especially the comment about wanting to put the OP "out of his misery." Where I come from, any analogy to terminating somebody's life is incendiary and uncalled for.
no it wasnt a suggestion, it was a call to the devs to hurry up and make things.

would you rather not have a way to unlock it?
again my issue with it is here is a guy who hasnt done anything saying this needs to be done. if someone steps up and says hey i wanna do this or starts to ask question so they can contribute. ive no issues with helping them, but to bold face claim that things need to be done, and on a timely schedule is an issue for me.
why? coming from the epic im sure a lot of users can agree with teh issues that phone had, too many people were run off by people demanding crap.
Guys please ignore these type of threads.... Comming from the epic i would hate for 99% of users to lose great amazing devs because of the demanding 1%
You guys are doing great please ignore the non sense.

Hello all, I've had this phone for quite awhile now, and as we all know... IT'S SLOW!!! The only cure would of course be a custom ROM, however in our case, LG decided it'd be a great idea to shoehorn badly optimized software, sucking up TOO much RAM right out the bat.
I've tried the primary way, which involved flashing v20b, the necessary zips, and the command, which failed miserably. I'm assuming that the server or whatever that "sent the unlock command" is no longer active... and my phone was 05\2013 meaning it was suppoed to work. Devs must now dig deep into the code itself at this point as far as I know... Has everyone already bailed out or is there someone still working on it.. Feel free to start a new discussion here as well. :good:
What do you guys think? Anything?
There's currently no other unlock methods and there probably won't be any as the devs will move on to less restricted devices

As mentioned above, there is no new method, I would suggest giving the old method a go once again.

Why would you even ask verizon. I haven't used it personally. If you do use it and need warranty or insurance just put it back to stock first. Insurance claims don't even go through verizon tho.

But the questions is asked was more of the anyone have info on it running successfully or not...
