No, just look at it this way. You will have an extra two days on your 30 day return than those who got it early. This is good for any phone announcements that may come within the next 30 days (ex: SGS2).
23.5 hours from now I should have one in my grubby little paws! I don't think I have spent as much time in the past 3 months on XDA as I have the past 24 hours living through the other folks that already have it in hand.

Fat chance on a SGS2 announcement.....very very extremely doubtful.
22 hours for me. Hoping there will not be a mob at the Sprint store when they open
I'm not waiting for the root. I'm going to BB at open and am getting the phone and playing with it all day. I seriously can't wait for this phone. Ready to get rid of my Hero.

I have a did the QDL tool update and I want to exchange it cuz of the restarting issues I have been having and since I'm with in the 30 days I figured I'd just exchange it before it gets worse. Do I have to downgrade and unroot it to return it?

I'm thinking of exchanging mine for a white one and wonder if it needs to be on the stock 1.6 to be returned.
I said forget downgrading and just took it back and they didn't even care to ask about it or say anything... My new streak is running so much better the other one did

Nice! Did they even power it on to check it out? I returned one the first day I got it because pictures wouldn't write to the sd card. I also went back and got 50 bucks back because the price dropped to 499. I'm tempted to print out the dell website price and see if I can a) get an additional 100 bucks and b) exchange it for the white one.
I'm just worried they'll think I'm trying to take them for a ride with 2 returns and two price reductions. I would if I was on the other side of the table.
No I explained my problem recreated it and he swapped it out no questions asked... He even said he wouldnt deal with it resetting as easy as it was. Was less then a 20 min event. Then again I was still with in my 30 days
A few people who got there's already have posted on here and other threads it may be locked pretty good.If this is true and IF HTC does not send a OTA out for it will you keep it after 29 days?
To me if it can't be rooted by week 2-3 back it goes to sprint i have no use for it if i can't MOD it.
why theMOD EDIT does everyone play the what if game.
htc said they will unlock them how about we just wait and see and stop saying what if this happens.
I'll still keep it. I know it'll be rooted eventually. I'm currently using a Hero, so the 3D will be a definite upgrade for me.

Yep and we have the engineer hboot. It's all a matter of patience
Im more concerned about the picture quality and battery life. I havent used my digital camera except a few times since me and my gf got the evo 4g. The 8mp cameras awesome. The battery life sucks and from what i understand should be alot better on 3d. Im so sick of my friends iphone lastin all day at work. Me on the other hand i have to throw it on the charger by lunch

Me too! ten chars
oh and i would keep mine you know why?
cause rooting doesnt determine if i keep the phone or not yeah it would be nice to but its all extra.
I would bet 70% of the people on here would send it back before 30 days if it can't be rooted.

Yup, I'm too addicted to modding and flashing to cut it out cold turkey. The 3d is clearly a badass phone, with or without root. But for it to keep me happy, I need root. I'll give it the 29 days. If no root by then, I'd return it and go back to using my Evo, then wait and see if a root method is found for the 3d. I feel pretty confident that root will be found within that time frame though.
Anything at this point is just speculation. No one from the general public will have an EVO 3d in hand until Wednesday at the earliest.
If HTC actually plans to unlock this device, it's quite possible they are waiting until the actual release to provide the code or key. After all, what good is a key if the lock hasn't been made yet? I hope HTC provides the key publicly and not as an OTA or other update. Sprint likely would not let that fly, but it will take Sprint six months to pass it through testing if they did.
What other phone would I go to? The Nexus? If there was something out there maybe but nothing else will be here in time...or anything good anyway.
But this bad boy will be rooted. It might be a month from now but HTC will hold up there side of the bargain and give us root access.
If it can't be rooted it will be replaced. Give a dog a bone.
But it will be rooted no doubt. Have no worries friends!
well i am rather addicted to flashing roms and themes so i dont know that i would want a phone where i cant do that but im also into having a faster phone... sigh
I'll keep mine, preferably rooted; but if not, I still have another Og Evo.
We have an eng hboot. Its not about if, its about when.
seriously???? a) Do you go out looking to start [email protected]#? b) we have already had this thread with a poll even. c) HTC said the phone boot loader issue will be resolved. for a man taking sprints word who was told by HTC about no shortage issue you are now questioning HTC? WTF??
Not even sure why I waste my time responding to you.
Originally I was going to get 2, but with what looks to be a shoddy camera and not knowing when the bootloader will be unlocked, I'm going to get just one. If the one, stock, ends up being better then I feel it might be or it gets full root within a couple weeks, I'll get a 2nd. If not, I'll wait for the Galaxy S 2 and might even return the 1st EVO 3D.
It's going to boil down to how I feel about the one I get. If it's better then expected, I'll get #2. If not, and depending on how well it performs to my liking, I might keep it or get rid of it too b4 the 30 days are up.
To be honest, I'm really hoping it's better then what I think it's going to be because I really don't like Samsung phones.
I'll be keeping it. If full root isn't gained in that time frame, we might have a temp root, allowing us to at least run root apps and do some other things.
I'd probably kill it with fire.
took me 30 min to get rooted, this thing is really nifty.

They surely will, we just need to be patient
So yesterday I tried to use the Juopunutbear S-OFF method, I was super excited to get an s-off method that would not have to brick my phone. It made it even better that I had the live cd burned to my usb ready too go. So i got as far as the wire trick and I even got the screen with Juopunutbear loading on my phone, all the sudden it went black. An I ****ing knew it instantly. I pressed the power button--nothing at all. I must say these last two days without my evo have been so ****ty probably the ****tiest days Ive had since I got the evo 3d last year. But I sent an email to RMA, basically saying that I accepted an OTA and my phone became response less. The worst part is Ive adapted my life to XDA its just something that I do everyday without even thinking about it. And I am still going on when ever I get the chance or I am bored. Anyone have any tips? Experiences? Thoughts on how HTC RMA will respond?

This is why I have insurance. For $10 a month, throw the phone at a sidewalk until the screen is shattered. free instant replacement.

I have already had 2 replacements through asurion and Im pretty sure thats the limit.
This happened to me.
I'm planning on going to sprint tomorrow.
Weird thing is my device randomly starts working then stop working by itself.

Take it to a store, play dumb.. "I don't know what happened, it just quit". Won't count against your Asurion claims.

there is ultrahardbricked, hard bricked, and sooft brick. Im talking ultra hard, no status light, nothing at all.
Do this in order:
1. Get a spare sprint phone
2. Change your ESN to that phone
3. After a day or two go back to the 3D and add insurance (you can always add insurance for up to 30 days on any device you activate)
4. Go into sprint get a new phone
5. ?????
6. Proceed to make a 'OMGGGMG GOT A NEW PHONE FROM SPRINT!!!111!1" thread in general or the Q&A

They told me 15 days. I don't know the phones are on back order. I have had a s off brick for over a week and finally got my tracking number this morning. I am excited...I have been using a 1970's piece of **** Samsung Instinct...it was the bomb 30 years ago. Ohhh btw LMAO at the guy who said smash his phone into the concrete that made me chuckle.

Guys I have to close this thread and here's why.
It's been stated many times that rooting your phone voids the warrenty. You knowingly voided the warranty(as we all did), but the discussion has become how and what to do in order to rip off the insurance company to give you a new one after you voided the warranty and forgo your right to use the insurance or the right to get a warranty replacement through Sprint or HTC. That I cannot allow to take place. I hope you can understand, but leaving this open says that xda condones your actions, and I don't believe that's acceptable.
On a side note. That really sucks and I hope you can get your phone fixed, I couldn't imagine life without mine.
So I take it there is no hope in unlocking the bootloader on this phone, I read about people still being able to unlock it but I don't know how they are doing it who wants to wait 720 freaking hours
Lol i never wait for those long periods. I got instant access after i received the permission. I don't know how i got but others were suffering from same problem.
Yep, gotta wait.
I only had to wait 360h, it sucked, but there's no way around it.
same here, 720h.
I just wanna cry because of this policy
I bought similar phone (rn5p) phone 3-4 months ago, and now I have to wait another month to unlock it.
can I cancel my request now? i though that I could make it with less time for waiting
Be patient. This process cant be quick.Try use another account.
