We apologize for the issues you have experienced with the bootloader unlock for your HTC Evo 3D. HTC is aware that some individuals have been having difficulty with the unlock process and is current investigating the issue. At this time, we do not have an estimated time for a resolution.
lol, did UNKOWNFORCE piss them off?
Definately not using their "resolution" lol

why do we care? Who would ever use HtcDev AGAIN.....
I just want to flash Roms freely as I did on my EVO. This crap sucks..I don't understand why they had to screw with it..so now its a 12 step process to root..
They are trying to make it so that it cannot be downrev'd.
Is this the file that needs changed? Add a zero on the first and ones on the last two?

The reason they made things like that to root was to keep the folks who don't know enough about it from doing it... They get tired of warranty claims when someone bricks a phone because the user had no idea what they are doing.. Same goes for people who overclock and push it too high and burn the cpu up...
Too keep things like that from happening.

That seems like a whole lot of hassle just to prevent a small fraction of it's user base from fully utilizing their phones.
I'm confident that we only take up a small portions of claims in their warranty department. Maybe they should put more effort into making a phone that keeps up with the competition and lasts.

True but if they do get root before HTC decides to give it to us, I don't want to be one of the sorry souls who updated and will have to wait on HTC. Not worth it in my opinion, especially just for the Green Hornet.

Actually, the VM notification bug has already been fixed as long as you have S-OFF thanks to rootzwiki. Let's see how long it takes them to integrate that fix, assuming they go that route. In other words, if you are using the rooted MR3 OTA then you are good to go. The fix also works on other GB roms as well and I believe Bamf already includes it.

See i think it voids your warranty with HTC themselves but because you pay for the TEP your all good. I don't think HTC informs Sprint who is eligible and who isn't. But plenty of people here that used HTC's method has gotten a replaces thru asurion. I know that much

My concern with the HTC unlock method is that it is one more thing to fix later. It permanently shows the phone was rooted. So, if someone comes along and gets the root working again then what? Suppose next week they say, hey we got Unrevoked to work on the Evo 3d again but if you previously used the HTC method your screwed still.

New OS will most likely have a new HBoot which will relock any one who HTC unlocked in the first place... Crushing root and melting the phone... Causing the world to end by skynet and last but not least zombies................................
There will be a way to get around it... It takes time.... You obviously have forgotten this isn't anyone's job to unlock your phone properly . You bought it knowing it may have 1.5 or got it from insurance... It's the name of the game..... HURRY UP AND WAIT

Yeah when I did it after updating (1.5) accidentally it was not so bad. I mean I have to install with terminal on my computer but its not a bad way. Just 2 lines of typing to launch recovery. If there is a fix cool but if not I can live without it. Cheers.

My phone just blanketed my screen with a notification that there's a Service update. Simply written "The update is complete and changes will now be applied"
Kinda irked cause it didn't notify me that there was one that i could simply DOWNLOAD, no it just downloads it, and wants to apply it RIGHT away. What the hell is this new update? i'm pretty sure a'lot of you are going to see this pretty soon, otherwise i can only cancel it by pressing home, but it KEEPS COMING BACK.
Edit: should i really be scared about it? i mean the boot loader is already unlocked by HTCDev, should i REALLY care about this update? well besides getting rid of root... now that i think about it.. but then again. I might just let it do it so everyone knows what version it is, and what exactly it entailed. i swear if i get locked out of root from this ill get mad, but whatever. xD FOR SCIENCE!!!!!!! as it were
Edit2: sooo now im feeling kinda dumb, i just realized that it could have possibly just done a profile update itself, the notification went away after pressing ok, but the device didn't reboot. but then again i dont see anything that could have updated. WTf did i just experience? XD does this phone have some ability to update the profile or PRL itself?
Check your prl # in settings and tell us what it says
