Not trying to start a flame/troll war, not posting a link to it either. Can anyone else confirm this? I usually like to follow/check up for any updates .
Actually, it still exists. He just protected his tweets, so you can't see his updates unless he's following you.

Hmm it showed up yesterday as it was protected and you cant see the tweets unless you're following. Wouldn't it just show as you can't view the page instead of it just "this page no longer exists"? I really don't use twitter much :x.
He probably stopped tweeting stuff so he wouldn't get trolled (as much) anymore, he's been putting up with a lot of **** lately and I'm sure he's getting tired of it. Wouldn't you?
not if hes asking for it
Not sure about the twitter thing...
From what I gathered from some of the back and forth, he managed a signature bypass flash that changed the cid of the phone that allowed the HTC unlock tool to work.

what is he asking for exactly? To be trolled by ungrateful users who do nothing but complain about "where's my s off and root?", "What's taking so long?"...
FYI, his twitter is still there, just viewed his profile.

If you look at the history of this it was first claimed on Nov 21st to be successful. That is almost a month ago. Really i have stopped looking. His credibility is completely destroyed.
Really im not even convinced he is an adult. His rantings are about at the level of an 8th grader. An immature 8th grader.
I mean by All means support him. Just please stop defending him and judging xda members from having expectations. If he doesn't want trolled or bothered for his method then he shouldn't claim success and post that a release is on the way.
If you look in the evo 3d general the same drama with the same banned dev is causing the same bs as here.
And if he achieve a method that's awesome. what im saying is it has caused a huge amount of discord and bitterness here on xda and you don't put yourself out there like he has and not expect comments, critiques etc from the community.

I've been following his progress over there for about 2-3 weeks and I keep expecting a release, but haven't seen anything that we can actually use yet. I believe he has made progress but the whole "I'll release it tomorrow" deal is getting old.
I followed a company (AngelBird) that was going to release a revolutionary PCI-E modular SSD and they pulled the same bull****, every time someone asked when it was going be released it was another empty promise (soon!, we're starting to take pre-orders now, it will be released in the next few weeks, etc...). Most of their prospective customers left and I just followed them to see how long it would take for them to release the product, they finally released it a year later and AFAIK no on has really bought it since they kept dicking around.

Exactly. This was suppose to be done almost a month ago and then some BS story is made.
Fine, but then makes a forum to get "help" and says he has root tobe released tonight and nothing.
Hes a attention whore and an immature "adult" acts like a really disturbed mental case at this point. Im not the one to demand anything but when you make empty promises, and keep o. Bs stories and get mad when your trolled then you just ask for it.
If he accomplishes it, great. But imo i dont think hes close and his creditablity drains each day.

ohhai guyz! I just wanted to share that I THINK HTC is going to unlock the bootloadrz on our phones!!!!1
I got this email from someone from there customer support thing in response to my email asking them to pretty please unlock teh fon!
"Dear unlockthebootlloaders,
Yeah, you and all your little buddies have already emailed us about a hundred times about the god damned bootloader on the EVO 3D. And guess what, because YOU asked, where not going to do it anymore. We told you we where working on it didn't we?. Jesus, I know you all post these emails on the forums and **** so I know they all know, ok? So now we aren't, because you won't shut the **** up about it. So, you can go eat 1 metric ****ton of dicks. That's right, and tell all your little 1337 hax0rz buddies they can split a metric ****ton of dicks amongst themselves.
in fact, just for all the **** you keep asking and bugging us about, and flooding our Facebook wall with (thanks for that by the way, dickheads) we are going to turn on a special feature for everyone who emailed us. Now, whenever you answer a call, there is a 60% chance your phone will rape your ear hole. have fun with that, ****stick.
P.S. don't bother filling out the survey."
So...
....I think we are finally getting za bootloaders!
You're doing it wrong.
Uhm... what?

As of late, there have been numerous outbursts by forum members that have caused this forum to go haywire and this place isn't as welcoming as it should be. A great Dev has already raised his concerns for the hostility that has occurred and it is obvious OUR actions have been the root of this issue.
I know we're all excited about this new phone and the possibilities once S-Off is achieved but we really need to come together and combine our knowledge (some more than others obviously) and make this a great experience for all. There will be many new "faces" to android and HTC phones in general which do not know how things work but let's try to be patient and not snap back with snooty or disrespectful remarks.
At the end of the day, we are all here to improve our device ad increase in knowledge. It takes respect to earn respect so let's keep it cool between all of us (members, Devs, & Mods) so we may continue to be productive and learn.
Basically keep your effin mouth shut and fingers still unless u have something real to add. Any problems u have with someone keep it in pm's. One of the biggest reasons why this forum sucks and alot of ppl left and refuse to come back. Grow up and shut up

I enjoy getting on the forums and helping to troubleshoot issues or to celebrate new modifications for our devices, but it makes it difficult when everyone is fighting each other.
Let's just be calm and patient. We're very close to having Rezound freedom. Once it's official, things will be much calmer and everyone will want to work together on this device!

Drama I guess. I'm kinda bummed that my old og Evo is more popular for development than my 3d. I thought most would move to the new phone.
It is what it is pimpin. Some leave and some stay. Our forum went through a crazy phase of children being stupid and a little growing pain. But I think we're mostly over that.
But your question has been asked countless times. A quick search would have brought you up to speed.

Did quick search it. Seems to me that either you are in or not. With our phone being difficult to get the basics functional, the practice of running off the guys that move development forward is slowing progress to a crawl.

Yeah, I feel ya man. Annoys the hell out of me sometimes. I know I personally stopped participating in getting on people who harass the devs or intentionally start drama because the mods say that it's not the communities job to do that. It's theirs. But, it is what it is. I'll still be on this phone until my contract is up. Which is a long time, so most of us aren't going anywhere.

A contributor or dev posts a ROM and many people download and flash it. The ROM is solid yet has a few bugs. The Dev responds to comments about these bugs and says they will be fixed in the next release. For the benefit of the doubt let's say a few weeks go by and the Dev volunteers info about this ROM but says a release isn't ready yet. Fair enough. A few more weeks go by with no mention of a release. Why is asking for an ETA frowned upon in this, albeit rare, situation?
The go to response is "these guys do this on their own time. They aren't being paid. How dare you even assume to think that you deserve any sort of progress update". I get it, but my point is, the Dev posts a ROM for it to be used by the people and to get offended because someone asks for an ETA is kind of ridiculous to me. If the Dev was doing it for just himself he wouldn't post it on the forum and I'm saying that making the ROM public comes with a few caveats. Like maybe some people have an Interest in progress.
Full disclosure: I've been an xda user for a long time and I've seen many people needlessly get their heads bitten off for asking for an ETA. I want to ask for an ETA in a thread and I'm afraid of the stupid backlash.
Maybe this goes in the general section. I'm not sure. I am technically asking a question.

If the Dev was doing it for just himself he wouldn't post it on the forum and I'm saying that making the ROM public comes with a few caveats. Like maybe some people have an Interest in progress.
Full disclosure: I've been an xda user for a long time and I've seen many people needlessly get their heads bitten off for asking for an ETA. I want to ask for an ETA in a thread and I'm afraid of the stupid backlash.
Maybe this goes in the general section. I'm not sure. I am technically asking a question.

Well let's see,
They are doing this on their own time and money
They are doing this for FREE
The have jobs,
They have familys
Changing one item will or may affect other portions of the rom
Sometimes the best of intentions don't work out
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FIVE MINUTE JOB
It only takes a couple of minutes............................................hours later the change still does not work!!!!!
You should be ashamed for even bringing the topic up!

Then crack a couple books and start learning yourself rather than sitting on the sidelines asking the coach when you are gonna get some game time while only wearing your shower cap!
This is so funny to me. Everybody walks on eggshells and they all think the same thing. "I wonder how the Dev is coming along"? It's hilarious.

I don't think that. I am happy a Rom is even released. In a house building scenario: you build a house/shelter for everyone. There is a minor flaw in the foundation due to termites or something... Nothing too serious, not life threatening. You still have to go and fix it without messing up anything on top of the foundation. You try to fix it only to see making that quick fix actually made the plumbing wonky. You fix the plumbing only to see it made it worse. Might as well just keep it the way it was before.

Honestly, this post is more directed at users who get bent out of shape when someone even mentions an ETA. rudeness is the perfect word. I've never asked because I personally feel similar to you. I still wonder, though. The reaction to this question by users makes my skin crawl.
Related: when someone is ordered to read an OP and subsequent posts that consists of 100 pages. Really? I just want to know what the bugs are and I'm being told to read small talk anecdotes and broken English? It's stupid and rude.

I get where you are coming from. If its a month out on something that was said a few days or a week. In that sense someone should reach out to the dev. If it hadn't happened with the instagram downloaded for xposed then none would have started the project themselves. But for other things, you do have to remember most of the people here lead a life with full time jobs and maybe a family issue or job issue came up. While they are making these things for us, it isn't their responsibility to inform people they Dont really know if a family member died or something.

I agree. I'm also not calling out the devs with this post, although it may seem that way. The devs are the experts here and of course they have lives not connected to android. My beef is with the children like buddy up there with the first reply on this thread. His answer is exactly why I've been staying away from these forums.

Just ignore em. Gotta remember there are people that are angry in general and that need to find an outlet for it. Not your fault, just the internet. Easily ignored. I think it was a good question. Been following these forums for over a year now and you do see it all too often.

If that's what you think then you should know you came off wrong...which happens when conversing over type.
I took your post to be in the same offensive category as the self entitled who demand updates. (And yes I deal with them too).
I would much rather be wrong on my initial assessment of your OP but please understand how it was received.
Hi all...this thread caught my eye. Interesting subject. Nothing wrong with it. Its the little script kiddies that hold real devs to god-like status that act rude.
Been around since the G1. Hasn't changed. If a dev is worth a flip he or she will not get all bent out of shape. Has the right to say back off but at least it's from the guy with the actual talent saying it! I've seen devs eat that crap up and get diva complexes which makes me laugh when it happens. Threatening to stop work yada yada. Told one to piss off and leave...a long time ago, different forum. Someone took up that diva's slack...ended up with a nice ROM for a crap phone.
Good times.
