I thought they said that they were going to ship the 3D with an unlocked bootloader? What happened to that? Remember the facebook riot?

Well one more thing. Apparently the flashlight app came out. I read it is in the HTC HUb but I checked and all that is in the hub is LinkedIn for HTC Sense.
Why dont I see the flashlight app?
They never said it would ship unlocked, just that they would unlock it.

There were a few cho emails in that time frame posted on FB stating it would be unlocked on shipment.
First of, thank you for trolling OP.
HTC's official statement on the evo 3d.
The phone was too far into production at the time of the unlocked bootloader announcement to be shipped with one. However they are working on unlocking the bootloader soon.
Now, I may be mistaken here, but Sprint also has say in what software the phone gets or has, and if they say no I'm pretty sure the locked bootloader stays.
Now for the reality, most of the people crying about unlocking the bootloader have no idea what they are talking about. What you should be eager for is a sticky root so we can push a recovery. Then we can start developing roms.

You'll have to find those and quote it, because I never seen one where they stated it would ship unlocked. I got a response via e-mail during that time and this is what it said:
Dear Friend,
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

Your the one trolling. I am asking a legitimate question. I didnt claim to know anything so yeah I dont know what I am talking about. I made the thread to ask a question.
I was just a little confused as to why it wasnt unlocked as they said so I made the thread to get an explanation.
Then a proper title would have been "Why has HTC not unlocked the bootloader yet", not HTC lies? That is the trolling I was speaking of.
I was offering legit reasons why it may not be. If what I suspect is true we may want to be pushing for unlocked emmc/nands because if I'm not mistaken you can unlock the bootloader, and leave the nand locked and prevent anyone from changing the partitions even with root. That can mean no recovery, no roms, ect.
I can't 100% prove it yet, but I have that feeling. Hopefully someone from teamwin can prove that wrong.
Explanation is they didn't and working on it. but why are we all going after HTC it should he Sprint we go after it is there phone and if we push them the they push HTC so go email Sprint as well. They have final say in the hole thing. So if the 3d don't sell Sprint and HTC lose money and customers.

Let's see what they say. This doesn't just effect HTC but the Evo 4G has been their top selling handset. Granted, Nexus 4G is what we (well, lots of us) will go to but the ability to customize our devices could easily move people away from Sprint.

Not sure what updates you are referring to but the Nexus gets updates first in most cases as it's "pure Google". I guess this might be bad if you are a believer in and reliant on Sense but for the AOSP group, it's AOK because it's what we are all trying to get to anyway.
I want to stick with HTC and the Evo/Evo 3D but may have to jump ship. Look on the bright side, at least our wireless provider HAS the next best thing.

I think he was probably referring to the Galaxy S II. A lot of people see the NS4G as old tech and not worth the purchase. Accordingly, they see the SGS2 as the next best thing if the EVO3D will retain the status of the locked bootloader.

That's pretty much how I read it. They're probably going to give some generic statement about why they're doing what they're doing and not change their position one bit.

Makes sense... I just get antsy when I'm up for an upgrade and I sometimes forget not everyone is on the 12 month plan. Nexus, yes... Galaxy and new carrier, I never even considered it but the 3D situation surely does suck all the way around.
Sprint is geting the Galaxy S II.. It will be called the Samsung Within, and it will be the exact same as Verizon and AT&T's... No Keyboard.

We have witnesses and will hold you to that!
Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?
Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.
If you should require support, please feel free to contact us via the support section of our website, http://www.htc.com

That'a actually another reason why I don't want to rush to obtain s-off because even if we get it we may lose it with the OTA. Would be our luck. We know that HTC read these so what's to stop them from being like "Huh. This Binary100100 bastard figured out how to get around s-on. Let's patch that with ICS! That'll show them!"
you have a point.. but what about if your wrong? i hope your right though
forgive my ignorance, But has any phone ever been granted S-off through HTC? If so...I hate them for not giving us S-off

No, and most likely never will because it invalidates the very reason S-on is enabled. We've (the community) always developed a way to bypass the signature as far back as I can remember, but they've figured out a way to make it more difficult to accomplish with the Amaze.
I think if we make enough noise, perhaps they'll create a tool that allows overwriting the signature. My optimism always gets the best of me!

I believe its the lack of developers for the amaze, the rezound is newer than our phone and I believe they have achieved S-off, It's hard to say because that phone is a CDMA phone, but never the less if they have figured out a way to make it more difficult it should be for all the new HTC phones, which doesn't seem to be the case.

The rezound is S-on as well. It seems to me like every highend HTC device launched in the last 3-4 months have run into a brick wall in regards to s-off.

Believe it or not, a large number of people used the site to either make ROMs or to restore their devices either prior to sending it back to HTC or because they had an issue with a custom ROM.
It sucks BUT it is what it is, HTC has lost a few dozen future customers and counting, over this (myself included)

I don't know what else to do. I cannot retire my Droid 4 just yet because of that. Your help would be very appreciated.

Ok. Has your phone already taken the update? (What software version are you on?). If its been ota'd, there is no unlock method for you currently. And based on what I've found so far, there may not be one any time soon.

Yes I had an update as soon as I slipped my SIM card in. I am running the 2.4.605.2 version right now. Can the Jcase's exploit help me change the CID in order to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev?

No. There is no method to unclock your phone at this time.

As this is my first post I beg of you to take it a little easy on me. I am currently on the new OTA and have had the DNA for 5 days. I realize the lockdown on this phone is particularly harsh with this update so I am curious if I can return the phone to Verizon for a non-updated new one but I will need some type of ammo to go in there with to really get them to exchange it. The only problem I have had so far is that my financial pages for paying bills (Verizon included) and my expense reporting will not load. Perhaps this is a java error that the OTA may have caused and I am sure Verizon wants their money so that will be a way to win.
Are there any major issues with the current OTA I can add to my complaint list to get my hands on another one?
And yes, it is very rude to ask a dev if they are coming close to a solution but I am curious if it will be all for naught and the workaround is on the horizon or in the near future. I'm sure it's on many new owners' minds and they are scared to ask so let the noob bashing begin on me. I can take the abuse.
Knowing my luck I will come home from the store and blammo beaups and jcase have cracked it.
Update : Called Verizon, made claim, got a new in box sealed DNA, brought it home and went to work on it!
Proud owner now of a rooted, unlocked, s-off, rom and custom kernel running, new OTA radio, future updates from Verizon ota's blocked, bad boy of a DNA!
well the droid DNA and the One S and the One XL just got s-off!! also i was just on twitter and jcase said that it will work on the evo 4g LTE also it it looks mad easy! he said if we want it they will support it :good: no sdcard needed either! check it out its called #facepalm S-OFF! for all modern HTC phones
this is what jcase said he needs...-jcase- "I need an update.zip, link to a supercid procedure, and a s-on user with supercid and root".. i have no clue what that is but im sure someone here can help get what he needs to get this goin
Why the hell do you want to waste an exploit on this device if we already have one? It's not a problem also we dont have a superCID procedure. You're sitting here wanting S-off on a device that's already been hacked not only that, you have no idea what most of this **** even is. How can you expect to be of any use when debugging something when you don't know what SuperCID is. This is a useless thread and completely unecessary. We already have an s-off exploit, lets not waste it until a future update we can't get past?

lol.. bad day guy... are u mad guy?? dont throw your pocket protector me!!
On second thought, you're not worth this. Hope you enjoy a wasted exploit.
I miss the gold card days
The exploit we have now is "mad easy"..guess I don't see why we'd need another.

I just tried this one. It seems to work, although i was s-off by LP. I am still s-off. I just run it over the top right?

It's not a matter of him being mad, it's a matter of you starting an unwarranted thread about an exploit that isn't necessary for our device.
While jcase's method could possibly be adapted to our device, it would be unnecessary for jcase to dedicate time to a device with an existing, and fairly simple s-off method, when he could be dedicating time to devices that have nothing currently.
Feel free to ask if I'm mad, because I'm not. The only people that should be mad, were the ones that ever followed your advice, now that it is apparent that you don't understand the device you hold in your hand.

So, I'm guessing this superCID is some sort of souped up caller ID?

It's refreshing to see that you just prove my perception of you as an individual with your quick resort to the standard Internet tough guy and 'you wouldn't say that in real life' antics. Be certain, that I would, as I am no different regardless of my settings.
You made a senseless thread, because you wanted thanks or something. Then when it's brought to attention, you get all gangster as though anyone cares.
Your profile says that android saves and keeps you out of trouble... How about just growing up, taking responsibility for actions, and being an adult. Your ghetto, tough guy act makes you seem very unintelligent and uneducated.
I'll be exiting this thread now, as it has nothing more to offer besides aggravation due to your feeble minded ways.
