Email from Peter Chou of HTC about Lock Bootloaders last night - HTC EVO 3D

Dear Richard,
Thank you for your support to htc. We hear your concern. And we take it seriously and now we will unlock it.
Our original intent was to reduce the potential quality problem when user upgrade their phone.
Any way we will unlock it. Customer satisfaction is very important for us and we want you have a good experience when you deal with htc.
Thanks again for your support.
Best Regards.
Peter
I am pretty impressed he actually emailed me back.

It is a generic email that some have already posted in the threads here. Same thing word for word, nontheless it is nice to see them adressing the issue down to the device.

Just a minor note. The e-mail says "it". This is the first indication that they intend to unlock the EVO 3D (assuming your e-mail was about the 3D), as opposed to "future HTC releases" that don't inlcude the impending ones.

Thats excellent news!

Yes it was about the EVO 3D. I told them I was really excited for it, but if they were going to lock the bootloader then I wasnt going to buy it.

This is great news. The engadget and other posts on the original message made it sound like the Evo may not be included.
Now im happy

What do you expect. For all the emails received does he need to make them all more personal to make you happy. I just don't get the reason why certain people seem so ungrateful. Maybe that is not your intent, but thats how it comes across to me and your not the only one so I just don't understand. Enlighten me if I seem out of place here.

You do seem a little out of place here. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
If you read HTC's post saying going forward they will not lock the bootloaders but, since the EVO 3d is due to release pretty soon it sounded unsure if that would fall under that umbrella or if they are saying there next lines of phones.
People just want to be certain before they lay their money down and there os nothing wrong with that. Don't see how that is ungrateful. People will be extremely greatful if the EVO 3d is unlocked.

Great news homies

The EVO 4G didn't have the same type of bootloader protection, that's why we were able to root it.

So I will still have to root my phone myself for super user access. Sigh.
The only good news is others will already have super user access without having to root? Or just that they can root to get it?
Normally I am not short bus. I am just trying to be sure I understood.

I would be very surprised if it didn't. It's a brand new super-high tech top of the line device.
EDIT: bearing in mind that i have no idea what any of the classes specify. I know it deals with speed...that's all.

super user access aka root aka su, is to powerful to be available to the average user, one thing I lament with Android is, as much as I adore it bringing Linux to the masses, the standard users don't understand the cardinal rules of a Linux operating system. Root is like a user account on your PC, you only use it when you have to do something low level to the system temporarily, otherwise you can easily damage your phones system. This is why you see the root apps ask for then release superuser privileges. So no phone ever will come with root default. Its to powerful unless you know what to do with it. Plus it induces a serious security hole. Think about it this way, you root long enough to flash or run setcpu, then you return to your standard "non-administrator" account.

Your welcome! Glad to hear it Discount is only like 80 cents anyways, if you really want it I can refund you the difference if you send me an email with your order number.
Nice link.. checked it out. I dont know if i want to pre-order though I already have a pre-order on file with best buy. If I can get the phone even a day early though it would
be great as I really want to get pictures of our cases up on the website on the real phone. Amazon as well.. have a bunch of cases that I sent to Amazon so customers can
use Amazon Prime but right now I have no pictures up for them! Probably not the best marketing to have no pictures on your listing

Its time to leave HTC and their facebook page alone. They changed their policy and gave us an ETA. HTC has kept their end of the deal, its time for us to do the same.

I'm sorry but have to disagree with you there. Saying what you are going to do and actually doing it are two very different things. I can say I'm going to give you a thousand dollars but until I actually give it to you, what I say means nothing. When we have an HTC unlocked bootloader on our phones, then we can say HTC kept their part of the deal. Until then it's just lip service. Even if they do 'keep their end of the deal', there's still plenty of room for corporate shenanigans. Don't get me wrong, I think they ARE working on something. However, as has been mentioned by several members of our own dev community, there are easier, faster and more direct ways to get this project done and HTC has deliberately avoided these methods. I am worried that the something that HTC is working on will not be quite what we want and expect. Sure they may give us the koolaid but we might not like the flavor.
I think that what facebook poster Jerome is alluding to is correct. It can't possibly take that long (September) to just unlock the bootloader. S-OFF bootloaders already exist and have been around since the beginning. We know that they work. This is not a new tech that HTC needs to develop. I think the wait has more to do with corporate politics, legal wrangling and bureaucracy along with a healthy dose of ifs, ands, and buts than any technical or distribution issue. I also suspect that when we do finally see these unlocked bootloaders, we will have to hold our noses to install them as they will likely come with some inpalatable strings attached that we will be forced to agree to in order to use them.
That's why I really hope the dev community here can get it done before HTC finishes their 'pageantry'. I know the XDA community will give it to us straight-no additives or preservatives. Even if they can't, I still appreciate their efforts as I know they will have tried their best. Finding a way around HTC's new security is a very tall order! But if they do manage to pull it off, the glory and satisfaction of winning they would snatch from HTC would be marvelous!

Hey guys-
I've been trying to unlock the boot loader for my Sprint evo 3d on my Macbook Pro... lame I know. I'm at the point where in Terminal I have entered the directory for rootevo3dnew, but I cannot get the token code. Do any of you know how to solve this? Thanks

ChaCha has s-off ....

http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/HTC_ChaCha
kinda sad we are still waiting yes i understand its still being tested and tweeked
i just think its funny that a gimmick phone gets root first and ITS AND HTC phone
Well they did promised that every phone after the 3D will have a unlocked bootloader. That even means the hero 4G also.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
i understand that but why would you have to replace the HBOOT if it came unlocked ?
I understand that HTC is trying to cheap malware and such away from the phone but most people who are going to get it are people downloading infected apps from the market I would think? Does having a locked bootloader protect that? I would also think encrypting everything would take more resources then not? I dont know much but thankfully my flashing withdraws will stop soon

My bad Cheesy. My previous post means nothing due to the fact that i dont even believe that it shipped s-off. if it did there would be no reason to check and make sure it deosnt say s-on or replacing the HBOOT for that matter. So your OP does make sense and rings a bell. I guess HTC went back on their word again, either that or they thought the CHA CHA wasnt really that important to unlock.
Well since my EVO 3D is going back on Tuesday and i am waiting on the SGS2 to come out i won't miss the playing around with root from HTC and the Dev's...I am sorry but i do not believe S-OFF was leaked and went on youtube they are not that big that they would have leaks.
So enjoy and hope you guys get the root soon from either one of the sources.

You don't believe it? There is video proof. And it wasn't a leak per se, one of the members just accidentally posted the video publicly. S-OFF is coming soon, probably within a week or so. Sooner than the GS2 is coming to Sprint. So if it is a matter of not wanting to wait...I'd reconsider.

Not flaming but very curious. What does your last two post have to do with the topic @ hand. Secondly, why would a group of developers who have been on the android scene and responsible for previous s-off exploits have to lie and manipulate the android community to gain brownie points. Seems out of character and a first time ever in developer history as far as I know.Maybe you should do a little research before making poor assumptions.

If I've said it once I've said it a million times. Samsung Android phones are garbage, the only savior was the Nexus S. Everything else was crap.
I've yet to see one with completely functional GPS, a radio that works, a build quality that doesn't seem like some dollar toy you buy from china, capacitive buttons that work properly, hardware that properly reads battery levels, ect ect ect. Jesus man, Samsung can't even get the font on their lock screen right, You see the top 1/2 of each letter of the month, and only 3 letters max will show up
That is just the basics. The real issues run so much deeper.

The SGS2 GSM has been doing very well.There is not going to be a lot of difference from gsm to cdma and again if all fails without spending a dime i can come back to the 3D if i wish and maybe by that time HTC OR THE DEV'S might stop playing around with S-OFF so i do not lose out i try out the photon for 45 days free sell it get the SGS2 try it out most likely keep it due to the phone being better but if not the can i can always switch back.
You realize you have one chance to do a 30 day I don't like my phone exchange?
Good luck with the SGS2, they said the same thing about the regular SGS and that phone was a pile.

Wow this thread is all over the place! How is it that every time there's some news about bootloader the Samsung people come out of the woodwork, and lol?! Oh well! Anyway I'm waiting patiently, I know it will be worth it, I was completely satisfied with my rooted evo. I'm sure it'll be the same with the 3d, if not more so!

As someone who has tried both brands multiple times in the distant past, recent past and very recently I am going to have to call bull****... True, any brand of anything has its pros and cons, but when comparing samsung and htc htc doesn't even come close to samsung in the problematic-issues category.... There are some issues that go back many generations of samsung smartphone that seem like they will never get resolved.

Why such a long wait? Normally I wouldn't question but you only have 5 posts.

it says Oct 23rd, put a paper behind with your user name if its real otherwise it could be preproduction model photos like the ones reviewers got that came s-off

I believe all say Oct 23d, But your right. also it says locked. can you gain the locked status back instead of re-locked if you have s-off?
Why don't you guys just be thankful and patient. You see a screenshot, and he was nice enough to give a timeframe.....he owes you guys nothing,

Ok, ill answe all Q in one post)
1. just 5 posts, cause im new here, im a russian developer and mostly making mods & tweaks for russian "xda-analogue" called 4pda.
2. long wait? Its not a long wait for s-off, need to do few more things and compile everything normally.
3. All DNA for now comes with date 23, Oct. Checked 4 devices.
4. Im current;y at home, tommorow will be at work, and will make few photos with a piece of paper with my nickname, no problems with that.
5. Its not test-device for reviewers, this device was bought less then a week ago.
6. Yes, u can get locked status again, instead of re-locked.
And one more thing: Source codes, or methods, or exploits WONT be released for public. Sorry, but It's not negotiable

So does this mean that we will not be able to get s-off, if you won't release the exploit? Or are you just not releasing HOW you did it?

U will be able to get S-OFF, other info = top secret
I can understand folks being hesitant. There was a donation thread for a guy who guaranteed to have working root for the Verizon Note II. Not only did he get a free phone, none of his methods worked.
Talk is cheap and people are skeptical. You know how it is.

I can't help but laugh/reply at this one. Soooo if all other information is top secret, can we meet up and you give me the scoup since i hold a Top Secret-SCI? :laugh:
I'm gonna guess the method was probably leaked to the OP via someone inside HTC. Sometimes those leaks come with conditions, so the wait is expected. Waiting a couple months, when every other One series phone has been waiting for the better part of a year is definitely OK in my book.
If this is accurate, and it looks to be, having a working s-off method will be amazing.

I did this for the sake of humanity... Because I am TonStark
Tony Stark - it is nice to see you on the att htc m9 threads. Are you going to be the Moderator for the att device? Because I am looking through the HTC one M9 thread. and the Moderators there are closing everything( well not everything, just a lot of them). Even in the general forum !!!! anyone who brings up the heat issue gets their thread closed. People are spending a lot of money on this device when it comes out- and they are trying to do their research before the purchase. - I always go to XDA before i buy a phone. But to not be able to talk about it ...... Mean less to say I am happy you are here

I see nothing of the sort here in this thread
It can be discussed here, as anything can.... It's a lounge:good:
Keep in mind tho, any fights will be tossed out to the street, because.... it's a lounge
Nothing is off topic in here. The main rule is to be chill

As TonyStark mentions, we have no intention of closing any thread unless it gets unruly or something of the sort. If you want to discuss the snapdragon 810 overheating issues go ahead.
If there is a situation in another section where threads are seemingly being closed for no apparent reason, you should send a PM to a moderator in that section regarding, or a Senior Moderator, so that it can be looked at. But as for any forum that falls into the HTC US/Canada section that this team moderates, we're not out to close any specific type of thread other than senseless bashing ones etc.
Now if we have 20 threads about overheating, we might try to consolidate discussion to one thread, but that would be the only thing I can see on this.

You mean like they'll make a 14k gold version... Or maybe a Hemi powered CPU.
I can see what you're laying down here
Has anyone heard anything about a Dev Edition. I have the M8 rocking it and can't see any other way to fly. There's no way I could run carrier junk.

The only way Dev ed will be on the M9, is if it's ported from M8. Last I knew, HTC wasn't building dev ed's any longer for Google.

That's what I was afraid of. I asked on another thread and of course it was closed because of "speculation". I hope someone can port it, but what I fear is that even if it can be done it would be the last one as time goes on. Sad times...

I just wanted to add that AT&T M9 variant might be cat6 unlike the M8, which was cat4, so we can finally get the data speeds we deserve and the carriers will be capable of in the future!
