From Htc's facebook:
**UPDATE 7/10**
We wanted to provide an update on HTC’s progress with bringing bootloader unlocking to our newest phones. We know how excited some of you are for this capability, and we’ve put significant resources behind making this change as soon as possible. While we wish we could flip a simple switch and unlock all bootloaders across our device portfolio, this is actually a complex challenge that requires a new software build and extensive testing to deliver the best possible customer experience.
We’re thrilled to announce today that software updates to support bootloader unlocking will begin rolling out in August for the global HTC Sensation, followed by the HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA and the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint. We’re in the testing phase for the unlocking capability now, and we expect it to be fully operational by early September for devices that have received the software updates. We'll continue rolling out the unlocking capability over time to other devices as part of maintenance releases and new shipments.
HTC continues its commitment to unlocking bootloaders and supporting the developer community. Because of the importance of this community to us, please expect an update on this about every few weeks as we make progress toward launch. Thank you for your patience and continued support!
Early September? Pff......
Well that's good news. But I wonder if we'll have our phones unlocked before the update is released.
And there it is...
Over two months? Feels like i'm back with Samsung.
Really you think that is to long?
Honestly give me a break. This type of update is a huge deal and undertaking. I mean, sure they might be able to push it sooner....and brick half of the devices.
How happy would people be then?

That's what I wonder. They have at least a month and a half. I think they can do it.
Wonder how many new threads will be made over this. I'm saying 15 by this time tomorrow.

Here's hoping the galaxy 2 is announced before my 30 days are up. Who's to say HTC is just saying this so we can't take the phone back within the 30 day window?? Oh well. Sounds like bs.

A company can't risk that. Let's not be ridiculous.

Um no, risk of bricking devices b/c of the update is slim and none if they wanted to go about it the easiest and fastest way possible. They toss in the ENG-hboot on a signed firmware zip and all is okay. They are chosing to make this more difficult though hence the longer timeframe.
Yay! Now all of you who said "im returning within 30 days if its not unlocked". Can now take your phones in tomorrow and shut the phuck up

While this is bad news for us, how many people are actually going to be able to sit back and not run to the store to purchase this phone the day it is released.
If enough people had the will power to stay away maybe it would send a message to HTC, but I don't think we have that kind of will power. To add to that, I believe the EVO and now the EVO 3d sell extrememly well to people who have no idea what rooting even means and just enjoy the phone for what it is.
I still think we are in the minority when it comes to these things.....So the sales numbers will let HTC know if this has any effect on it but I say the EVO 3d still sells strong.
Won't be for long lol someone will get in and do all sorts of good.

Meh, I've noticed recently that stock seems to perform better than most/all custom ROMs anyway. Perhaps this way I'll spend less time messing around with my phone... As long as I can get partial root to remove bloatware I'll be fine and I'm confident this wont be an issue.
On another note, I think this statement is BS: "It seems HTC has finally caved to what are likely the security demands of wireless carriers with its newest phones, and is locking down its handsets Moto-style..."
It has yet to be confirmed that bootloaders are being locked at the request of carriers. The argument against tethering is invalid because full root is not required to run root access wireless tethering apps. I think this is solely the decision of manufacturers- why they are making this decision, I don't know...

Umm, after news like that, I expct it to be a little uhh echo-y in those forums . Unless someone wants to flex their signed bootloader cracking skills in there.
I am still getting this device day one. If I decide I can't live without full root then I'll return it and wait for something else. Can't lose with Sprint's 30 day satisfaction guarantee.

I agree 100%, but this doesn't change the fact that htc is telling an entire committed of supportive (and vocal) customers to go stick it unnecessarily. While they don't care if they lose my business, I am disappointed in them and will likely end up going with another manufacturer.

So ultimately what does this mean to the layman? Will it just take longer for full root to become available?

If its anything like the droids - you'll eventual have root if theres a exploit but full custom kernels are thrown out the window, so are full custom roms. All you'll have is minor superficial modifications to the official ROM. That means that you'll only taste a new version of Android if HTC/Sprint officially releases it for the 3D. That also means no CM, no MIUI, no ported ROMs.

No...this is the forth week of EVO 3D training in the Sprint Playbook. They got it WAYYYY wrong lmao
I don't think week 4 applies to the 4th week in June. Nothing else in this playbook goes that far. Haus already stated my feelings, that its the 4th week in the playbook, not June. I don't think they would use "week 4" in the playbook to refer to 4th week of June, its pretty vague.

i just went to radio shack and best buy
in general the radio shack dood said:
"pre orders usually go for about a month at most"
"about a real release date i would say mid june"
general manager @ bestbuy mobile
told him i heard early june release his reply
"june 14-27 maybe first week of july but i can tell you we have not got any word on a first week of june release"
again i dont think radio shack,best buy,sprint lead rep, xda "insider" or anyone other than HTC or "high up sprint people" will know a for sure release date
as i JUST switched from tmobile yesterday to sprint
and picked up the nexus s (for now)
i hope its within the next 30 days
but honestly NO ONE with a "inside source" will know
so keep floating dates farther and farther out but we will not see this phone in the general public hands till mid to end june
again this is just a opinion and it may be release the 5th or 6th or w.e. you want to think but look at all these dates.... the G2x had a preorder and store date 3 weeks before hand
sprint isnt doing a last notice release! june 4th is a week away... i bet they will tell us WHEN it will be release on the 4th.... not getting the phone out in silence...
Hell yes, nothing has changed in my book. I still haven't spoken to my source, but on tuesday I'll know for sure. June 5th should and probably will be the release date

the bootloader will come LOCKED either way
june 5th or july 20th
it will be locked and only unlocked by a OTA update or a "leak"

it has been talked about, or should i say speculated about. Truth is not many people really know the plan for the bootloader or even the released. So if it comes locked the bootloader issue could still push the date back if they rather wait for an OTA to be ready so a bunch of people don't start complaining. That is if that really is the solution. Again all specultions

yes its been "speculated about"
but honestly HTC/Sprint will not go through every box to unlock it
its stated BY HTC that evo 3D will come LOCKED
now that means if it comes locked then they will not spend the man hours and money to recall all the e3d's back and do that...
(i bet there are 250,000 of them sitting in area 51 or a 25 dollar a month storage shed some where waiting to be sent to each store and 3rd party vendor)
How sad is it knowing that with it now being June 4th (at least here on the east coast) we still don't have our EVO 3D like the first rumor said? I should be camping outside my Sprint store waiting for them to open at 9am.
Ok now let the flamming begin! I'm just bored and it crossed my mind that today should've been the day :/

Christmas is June is always awesome! Finally get a present for myself instead of for others lol. Although I don't know about being worried that the places will run out of phones. I remember par year when I went to get my EVO the waiting list was 3 months, and that was for the people that did pre order. The ones that didn't had a longer wait. I ended up called Sprint and they had one to my house within a week. But when I pre ordered my E3D I was second on the list and I just did it Thursday. And I've read that others are on the top of the list and there detente a lot of people on the list. That's kinda got me worried about how well the phone may do.

No, they can just delete the whole goddamned section.
"HTC Evo," as a branding, must have really worked out. The Evo4G section (during pre-launch) was nowhere near as fncked up IRT all of the dupe threads and crazy ranting and impatience...I suppose HTC did real good in that regard.
As has been expressed many other times by many other people (and I won't open a new thread to say it): I can't wait for the goddamned thing to be released so the Development section can get fired up and I can hang out in there again.
I never visited Q&A for the 4G once it was released. I can only imagine that the dev community will be at LEAST as thriving as the 4G's considering the unlocked bootloader and the massive amount of interest that seems apparent given the flooding on the Q&A section with obvious noobs.
I know man, i'm with you. I cried a little inside, this morning.
I never even got the HTC EVO, i'm still running the Touch Pro 2 on windows mobile. Can you say slow?
Think how excited i am for this thing to come out!

I'll cry on June 24th. That release date was way too much of pipe dream. Anyone that got their hopes up was just asking for a let down. It was way too soon after pre orders. If June 24th comes and I don't have my Evo from Radio Shack, thats when I take my week vacation from work, stuff my ass like a bear in winter and go into hibernation. Yep.. Thats the plan.
As it seems since it's been a while since the last "what's the next phone to get?" thread...
I've only had this phone for less than a year and I am going to eventually bite the bullet and just pay full price for a new one. While there are some great ROMSs out there (Clean, MIUI, etc.), Frankly, I've never had a more boring phone when it comes to choices sans bugs. Sooo....what's the next Sprint phone to get?? I looked at their website and it seems the same phones I had a choice of getting when I chose the 3D. Anything coming down the pipeline? What would you get?
I'll be hopping on the Nexus bandwagon as soon as they get it. I know it's going to be already "old and outdated" but I think I would still be happy with it.

I will be getting the evo3d2.
Whatever phone I get to replace my 3D hasn't even been announced or rumored yet, so im just waiting and still having fun with my 3D.
I'm not going to jump ship but rather wait to pull up to port to see whats next. I would not even consider another dual core when quad cores are on the way. Next phone will also be LTE compatible.
My next phone will be on sprint and will support LTE on both of springt's frequencies, 800Mhz and 1.9Ghz(I think). Quadcore on 28nm die. 4.5" screen. After seeing what HTC did with the bootloader, I'd like to see a Nexus device on sprint that supports the LTE I'm looking for.
I love my evo3d, running Myns 547 nightly, Anthrax kernel and system tuner to keep the voltage low for great battery usage. As long as people dont chase all the developers away with their complaining, this phone will only get better with all the creative talent here at xda
Hopefully in about a month we will know what the next one is. Hope it's quad core and big

To be honest switching phones right now and extending your contract for a phone of this time is really stupid .

True that. Once we get ics are phones will be insane. If it's anything short of quad or 4.7in I'm staying. Very pleased with the 3d so far.

So I just saw this:
http://www.tmonews.com/2012/04/t-mo...-ice-cream-sandwich-upcoming-device-launches/
Looks like it will be pushed back till june.
That makes no sense since this seems to be works so well.
I wonder if HTC leaked that purposely to test people or if it will change again.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks again to the leaker at tmo.
Thank you for choosing to force integrity down the throat of the sleazbags in the marketing department...
Thank you for pulling out the rug from under the self aggrandising pompus fool executives who think that they can twist the arm of their elite level customers..
To the the executives that may be reading this.. Above is the list of people to fire.. Unceremoniously and with a grand parade, wander them around the office as an example of douchebags using and idea older than moses and calling it innovative.. Rather than the insult to customers it truly is

I am pretty sure there is going to be improvements on it by June. Perhaps sense 4.0?

Doubt it, but there will be bug fixes and hopefully a new radio. Besides, we wont have to wait till June anyways to get the leak of the approved ota
I'm seriously switching to Samsung on my next phone.

It does not, the ics available for the t989 is from a leak from the skyrocket. Due to that there was issues with rotation which were fixed but there is still missing features like wifi calling, and a kernel to develop cm9 etc from that.

I asked HTC, they told me....
We are working closely with our carrier partners to nail down update schedules for our smartphones and will have more to share very soon. For all of our latest ICS news stay tuned to our blog: http://bit.ly/yTJiXX
Not date yet. We'll let you know if we learn more.
I said it in another thread and I'll say it again. I have a feeling T-Mobile is holding off on the update so the One S can have the spotlight for another month. They probably figured that people would buy it since Ice Cream Sandwich is a big selling point.

These two tie in together. HTC wants to nail down an update schedule that the One S will have ICS for a while, gathering in sales, while the other phones will have to wait. Also, T-Mobile stores list our phone as 1.5 ghz dual-core, they don't really specify that it's produced by Snapdragon or that it is an S3. Clearly, it would look bad that the One S and the Amaze have the same specs in a simpler manner, without going into specifics.
Some of you folks act like your phone is broke or completely ancient because it isn't rocking the current OS.
There is a leak for ICS, so what is the problem? If you want it so bad, download it and be on your merrily happy way. If not, go spend monies you probably don't have on a device that runs on it. Complaining over and over on something you can't control is beyond rhetorical.
Not like T-Mobile has ever been fast with the updates. This is nothing new......be glad if it comes out in June.

Also to note, you people actually think majority of users pay attention to specs that much? Again I say, we are such a small % over the grand scheme of things. People that are due for contracts will get whatever the new hotness is. Period

I agree just look around your own family. How many of them just want something pretty that's makes calls not everyone cares about all the bells and whistles.
I do though so I took the risk and got the update already and lovin it.

My Amaze (bought in December) has multiple issues that have not been resolved on three separate handsets, and half a dozen factory resets. I'm not "whining" about not getting ICS sooner, I'm whining about not getting FIXES after way too long a wait.
The last word I've heard was, "we're working on a fix," "HTC is aware of the problem," while I continue to wait, and wait, and wait. Like the poor refugees in CASABLANCA
I'm willing to wait longer for solid fixes, and (crosses fingers) a replacement of Sense 3.0 with the much-improved 4.0. Frankly, I've gotten tired of factory resets and handset replacements that flush my progress and scores from games that I've paid for. It's not a requirement that my games are intact on a phone, but jeez, it got old after 12 weeks of ownership of this top-tier phone to be told, "don't install any apps, just use the phone as shipped."
I just feel that I've been made to wait through serial postponements while HTC and T-Mobile trumpet a newer, slightly better line of phones. Clearly, people who've already bought an HTC don't get as much respect or thought than the new customers out there. S'okay, if the ICS update arrives and doesn't fix the problems, I'll know what to do. Root, flash, or flip and get another brand. T'is a pity that modern manufacturers would rather disappoint their established customers while trying to attract new customers. It's a model that has destroyed many companies in the past.

Exactly what I am trying to say, People who compare specs slightly, will notice that the Amaze and One S are very similar, and will buy the least expensive Amaze
