You'd think an HTC update would be available at their site first.

Just got off the phone with Sprint...they said that in order for the Evo 3D to run right, I have to feed it iPhone 4's.

Do you have to go to a repair store to get the update or do you.think any store can do it..August 1st seems like a long time to wait esp if its already done
Or could you do it from Sprint website?
(Not that I'm going to do it, just sayin)
...nice upgrade from hero
Put $20 in my PayPal ill give you a link to the update
as soon as its released

so was at bestbuy today and the manager had an amaze.asked if he had rooted it or no and he said no. what surprised me is that he said he was able to get rid of tmobile preinstalled apps just by calling tmobile guys and they simply remove them...anybody tried?

He was probably blowing smoke up your ass. T-Mobile doesn't customize ROMs on a per-person basis. And there is now way to otherwise remove apps without root.
Hah what a lie
yeah thats what i thought,sounded too good to be true
Haha, another example of Best Buys tomfoolery.

I work at a Walmart "front-of-store" Wireless, I've rooted a Captivate, Droid X, G2, Vibrant, Sensation, Inspire, Infuse, Atrix, and probably others that I've forgetting, It's worth mentioning that most people I work with don't know what I've done with those phones or how to do it. I'm guessing that's the case with these best buy people.

Did I miss how to do this somewhere? How?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
You didnt miss anything... the ONLY way to remove Tmo bloat is by using the HTCDEV.com bootloader unlock and unlocking your bootloader. Then you must permaroot your phone. Only then will you have adequate permissions to allow you to remove the bloatware from your phone. There is NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT currently.
Thanks, that's what I thought.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
I, being a t-mobile employee must tell you that the manager at best buy is bluffing. Just like users above have posted, you must root the device first prior to even having permission to remove the bloatware.

All you really need to do is ask them not to update your handset, it works for me.

Yeah...I will be sure to tell them....I just unrooted and have s on....I drive to the mall w a stiff neck only to have the Sprint store tell me they have run out of ink in every printer and won't do anything cause they can't print out a liability form....****ers....

I actually went through the unroot process and rerooted....it helped a little...so I will still need to bring it in...but I didn't wanna keep it unrooted....before I was half considering just saying "yeah, it's rooted but root didn't cashed the issue I'm having and seeing if they are cool...
Sent from my S-off'd 3VO
I just took mine in for screen issues and left the HTC unlock in place as well as still rooted and they replaced my screen, no questions asked. They had to have known it was rooted because they installed some multitouch testing software that showed up in my app drawer right by the superuser app. Told me if it didn't fix it to bring it back and they would replace the phone.

Should I accept this OTA?

4 months ago???? wow
App updates are fine, it's the firmware updates that you'll want to watch out for. Updating apps won't touch anything like the hboot or affect root, but firmware updates probably will.
Mine needs to hurry up and get here. Starting a few days ago when i try to go to Watch i get the message saying it needs an update. Click OK and it takes me to HTC Software Update. Check now says my phone is up to date.
Thus making Watch not accessible.
And yes i have been using it since they started the 5 cent weekend movies. Over the last 2 weeks i have paid 5 cents each for about 10 movies.
i DL them and watch them on the weekends. LOL
Luckily i found a work around, i was able to add the full screen widget and select my movies there.
please delete

Couldn't you have said the person on Craigslist must have done something to it since you bricked it so soon after receiving it? That's what I would have said.

2 days ago I traded my HTC Vivid for a Galaxy Note with a dude on Craigslist (dumb move on his part) & within less than 24 hours of having it, I managed to hard brick it by flashing an incompatible kernel. Completely my fault.
LUCKILY, I took the phone into an AT&T store and played the dumb card. After about 45 minutes of going back & forth with the store manager and a warranty agent on the phone, they decided to send me a brand new replacement at no charge. Should be here Monday.
I feel like I really lucked out seeing as to how I traded with someone on Craigslist.. I really thought I was screwed!

Don't understand. Are you bragging about making a totally avoidable mistake or how you lied to AT&T reps? Either way I don't see too much to shout about.

Edit: this is exactly why manufacturers lock the bootloader. People like you ruin development. IMHO!

I couldn't agree more
If people are flashing things they should at least be responsible for messing up.
And this also could be a good reason why apple is closed source

Oh gee, I hope AT&T doesn't see that Cory Peterson from Texarkana, Arkansas has defrauded them.

It's your OWN device, but THEIR soft/firmware. It's as simple as that.
I just think it's stupid. NO ONE else does this but LG, not Samsung, not Motorola, only LG. Sucks that they were my only flagship option at the time of purchase

Told ya so.
I always check the XDA forums these days before buying a device. You can't just assume that you can unlock and root.
If you really want a G6 that's unlockable you should buy an international version somewhere instead.
Is sad, but, only OPEN EU can be unlocked. My G6 is Open from Chile and i cant unlock it too. If I'm not wrong, unlock the bootloader is guaranteed by law in Europe.
Next time you buy a phone research it first.

Actually if you get a pixel on EE/Verizon you can't unlock the bootloader either
