Suggestions to all members - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Congratulations on your new phone!
Here are some steps you can take to ensure that when full unlock s-off becomes available you too can join in on the fun.
1: Do Not Accept Any OTA Updates! unless listed as a requirement or it is listed as a step in the guide to full unlock
2: Wait patiently for your soon to be favorite developer to write a detailed guide involving all necessary steps to fully unlock your phone.
These are steps that many will already know and not realize there are others that may not be aware.
It may take time to get full unlock, remember NO ETA and don't ask for one. the devs WILL be hard at work to enjoy the phone unlocked too.

no one has it yet lol

I wonder who will post the first thread asking when will we have root or they'll return the phone?

preorders will receive it shortly, this will answer some questions that some may have regarding steps to take after receiving it,
these steps can be done at a moments notice if need be, but they cannot be undone, better to wait and see

Good post I learned the hard way about OTA's! I applied one on my OG EVO 4G and lost root for a few months. I must say it did suck!

In regards to #2, what's wrong with using the HTC unlock method as it pertains to acquiring an unlock at a later time? Or, is the only issue the risk of a voided warranty?

iz dis phone root yet? when root

Why void your warranty when you know there will be a root released fairly soon after the device launches (or before the devices launches if you're the OG Evo ).

Has there been confirmation that the warranty will be voided? I know the HTCDev site states "May void your warranty" not that it does for sure.
An example of the vagueness of this language: I recently did an ECU upgrade on my car and Renntech stated it "may void my warranty" but according to Mercedes-Benz, the warranty is still fully intact even with the modification...

i mentioned it because leaving the phone stock gives the developers a blank slate to start with, there is a possibility that unlocking the bootloader might prevent full s-off in some way.

As someone totally new to the smartphone arena, thanks for the helpful post!

There is a thread in one x forums (international) in depth about this. Apparently HTC is using this vague reference as a way to save money (and even MAKE money -300$ required factory reset reqd when shipped to HTC) now that they provide a half assed unlock. Go have a look if you doubt me. I read it for several days.

Also to the people that will be getting their phones from Best Buy. Do not allow the BB employee to do an OTA while they are activating your phone. This happened to me on my release day OG Evo. Luckily a new root method was figured out fairly quickly and I was able to root a few days later.

[Q] Relock bootloader (or at least hide text) ?

Does this method actually work for the Atrix4G (AT&T), can it be confirmed by anyone in here?
If you have an unlocked bootloader and use a Monster SBF will it only remove the UNLOCKED text from the POST, or does it actually fastboot oem lock ?

No way to relock after unlocking the bootloader. It's a hardware lock/unlock, not software.
It may be spotted at AT&T store or service center. If they turn the phone on the first thing they will see is "unlocked" in the upper left corner. Per what it says when you unlock your phone, this "MAY" void your warranty. Don't listen to advice saying they won't care at the service center. The one where I live does everything they can to get your phone back working before replacing it. Been there a couple of times.
You can remove the "unlocked" in the boot screen by flashing back to 4.1.26, 4.1.57, etc., but the phone is still unlocked, it just won't say unlocked anymore unless you reflash the unlock, after which it will be on the boot screen again.
I would say if you are returning it, don't unlock the bootloader.

I think this is clear that HTC will not let us have S-OFF unless its from a developer

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

So call back after your warranty and ask for it. They'll have no excuses then, right?
I wonder if HTC is waiting for ICS and then let something "leak" to obtain s-off.

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.

[Q] Does bootloader unlock void my warranty in Roumania?

Hi, can someone from Roumania, if there are any users here on xda from my country, tell me if my warranty will be void if i unlock the bootloader using htcdev, i bought my phone from Vodafone Roumania, and so my phone is simlocked, and i tryed asking a lot of people and i still have no complete answer, furthermore i got many oposed answers from all those i have asked, i asked 3 persons from vodafone and they sayd: "yes, it will definitely void your warranty", "no, if you unlock the bootloader using the official method given by htc it will not void your warranty" and "i have no ideea what a bootloader is" (lol?) and 2 friends of mine asked directly at htc roumania and one of them got the answer: "no, by unlocking the bootloader using the htcdev method your warranty will not be void, but rooting and installing a custom rom will, and also your warranty will be void if you damage your phone by overclocking or other things" and my other friend got the answer: "yes, your warranty will be void, because you are modifying the software on the phone" so as you can see i have no ideea what to belive and what to do, and i really want to unlock the bootloader but i just got the phone and i want to be sure it is in no way hardware damaged allready before voiding my warranty?
In the EU you have 2 years warranty.as long as you don't damage the device. All you sign away when unlocking your bootloader is you can't come nagging if you have software errors.
Bottom line is you still have warranty on your hardware. You might get into discussions with your vendor and in the worst case need a lawyer to get your warranty.

That is totally not true. The warranty forbids any kind of software or hardware modifications. So although the act of unlocking you bootloader does not void it. Rooting or flashing a custom rom does.

no it does not infect your warranty in germany.
we can go back to stock if warranty or repair necessesary. so is not important
after return from repair center, all my phones are unlocked/relocked and replaced with stock rom.

-RUU.exe stated not to be able to update my device to 1.15xxx from 2.4.605.2

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.

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.

Fuse Blown on Bootloader Unlock

So this article was just posted on XDA about a irreversible Fuse which is blown on the 6P when you unlock the bootloader. This doesn't mean the phone loses functionality, rather you can't revert it which most likely will void the warranty.
To some this may not be a prob, but I would like to know I can relock the bootloader and claim a warranty if need be.
Anyone else have thoughts on this... Any ways around...??
