Dear XXXXXXXXXXX,
Thank you for your reply XXXXXXX.
As I stated in an earlier email that devices launched after 9/2011 will be unlock compatible, however that does not mean All devices as sometimes there are carrier restrictions. In order to provide these codes, it has to be agreed by the carrier the phone is assigned to as they also have software on the device.
If you are not seeing the phone on the htcdev.com website under the Droid Incredible 4G LTE, you can also look for the HTC Fireball on the site.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you XXXXXXX. If you have any further questions, either reply to myself or contact our phone agents anytime from 6am-1am EST 7 days a week at 1-866-449-8358.

Fireball is the codename for the device. However, the list on the HTCDev site for unlocking bootloaders is just a list of phones that are absolutely supported in unlocked their bootloader, both by the company and the carrier of the phone. It takes you to the same exact place if you click HTC Droid Incredible as if you clicked the Droid Incredible 2, after the HBOOT upgrade page. Since Verizon doesn't want to let us unlock our phone, the Droid Incredible 4G LTE hasn't been on the list since about two weeks after its launch. There are several of us checking every day to see if works for our phone, but it hasn't been working for us. Several of us have emailed HTC and gotten a canned response about carrier restrictions similar to what you've gotten. Unfortunately, it may be a while before they let us unlock, which is why we have people attempting to get S-OFF for our phone, as well as some of us seeking alternate forms of root.
thanks,IceDragon59 just hopeing there was something there
An easy way to tell what the "codename" is for your phone is to boot into your bootloader (holding the volume down button while pressing power with the phone turned off) it says up at the top what the phones "codename" is. In our case it shows as:
FIREBALL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
FIREBALL being the codename of course

Thought I'd try to start a general Telus thread since there's stuff spread all over the place. Hope that's OK mods.
I bought my Telus Amaze on the second day out. Haven't tried to unlock the bootloader until now. Went through the HTCdev method and it failed. After submitting the hex code the dev site indicated it failed. No error code. Is there a solution?
I had trouble with the hexcode aswell, but I believe I just kept trying and it worked its self out, the htcdev website was being a dink half the time. I'm pretty sure there are other methods to unlock it
This is how I did it http://www.techzek.com/unlock-htc-amaze-4g%e2%80%99s-boot-loader/

Unlock support for the Telus Amaze had been removed several weeks ago. There has been many request made to HTC for assistance. Last I seen on their Facebook page is that they are "working on it" ...no eta.
I've had the phone since day one and only decided to do the htcdev unlock after It had been removed.

Yeah, tried to unlock several times now and no go. I don't understand why they would remove support for Telus when adding support for tmobile. It sucks. I can't help but wonder if Telus has something to do with it. Didn't HTC promise to unlock all future bootloaders? It makes no sense to allow it for one carrier but not another.
wow im glad i unlocked mine the first day i got it, this beastmod rom is awesome.
So, I called HTC Canada to ask about unlocking the bootloader. I explained that I had attempted to unlock and it had failed. She said, "It should work, hold the line a minute." She then came back on and said I don't see the Telus model listed under supported devices. I pointed out that prior to the tmobile being added the telus version could be unlocked, but now it can't. She had nothing to say. I asked if HTC is working on adding it. Her response was, "All I can do is refer you to the htcdev website." Basically, she knew nothing and was totally useless. She implied that all I can do is wait and hope. While I love the phone, I'm now regretting buying it due to lack of support from htc.
So unless things change, there's no way I'll ever have ICS on my phone since I know from experience that Telus never has any interest in updating their phones.
I decided to be persistent and have emailed htc regarding the bootloader. Here is the series of responses. My initial question was: Attempts to unlock the bootloader fail. When will the Telus Amaze be added? I thought HTC made a commitment to unlock all bootloaders.
Response 1. Thank you for taking the time to contact us here at HTC about the Bootloader for your HTC Amaze, Mark.
Here at HTC we encourage owners of our many devices to use their phones to their full potential. For many owners this involves unlocking the bootloader to experiment with different device ROMs. Although this is not something we would encourage everyone to do, we recognize that many cellphone users with a technical background may wish to do this with their device so that they can optimize the functionality of their device and customize it to suit their needs.
While we can't directly assist you with the process, because of the great demand from our customers we have provided you with the tools you will need to get the process started. Our developer site can be accessed at http://htcdev.com/devcenter. Once the bootloader for your device is available, it will be posted to this site.
This being said, HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, certain models may not be unlockable due to operator restrictions. If your device is listed as unsupported, we would suggest you follow up with your mobile operator to let them know your interest in unlocking the bootloader.
Thank you for your interest in HTC and our devices. As always, we are here to answer any technical questions or concerns you may have from 6am to 1am EST, 7 days a week for your convenience, or by phone at 1-866-449-8358.
Sincerely,
Tara
HTC
My Response: Thank you for your response to my question about unlocking the bootloader. I just want to be clear about your answer. Are you saying that the bootloader is currently not unlockable because TELUS has placed restrictions which prevent me from unlocking my phone? I was under the impression that I bought an HTC phone, not a TELUS phone. Are you saying that HTC is waiting for permission or information from TELUS before it will add the TELUS Amaze to the htcdev site and make it unlockable. If so, do you know if TELUS has indicated a willingness to do this and it is forthcoming? If not I will be returning my HTC phone for a Samsung which is fully rootable.
Thanks again for your assistance.
HTC Response 2: Thank you for your response, Mark. Please allow us to clarify.
When it comes to the bootloader for each device, all the information we have at this time is that once the bootloader for your device is available it will be posted to our developer site, which can be accessed at http://htcdev.com/devcenter.
Unfortunately we cannot provide a timeframe for the release of the HTC Amaze bootloader, Mark. We do apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause, and we thank you again for contacting HTC.
My response: Thanks again for your quick response.
Sorry to be so persistent but I just want to be sure I understand. Does a team at htcdev.com (or one associated with it) develop the bootloader, or does it come from the provider (Telus)? Would contacting Telus make any difference or are they just going to tell me that it is HTC who must make it available and that Telus has nothing to do with it.
Thanks for your patience.
HTC response: Thank you for your prompt reply Mark.
HTC, not your carrier, is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, certain models may not be unlockable due to operator restrictions. Please refer to our list of supported devices to see if your device is eligible for unlocking the bootloader.
For more information on unlocking the bootloader please feel free to visit our developer page at www.htcdev.com. We apologize as we here at Technical Support cannot, and do not support the bootloader unlocking of any HTC device.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you Mark. Keep in mind that we are here to answer any technical questions or concerns you may have between 6am to 1am EDST, 7 days a week for your convenience, or by phone at 1-866-449-8358.
My last response: I'm sorry but you are not answering my question, but simply repeating an apparent canned response. Please explain what "operator restrictions" are. Aren't I the operator? By operator do you mean carrier? The Tmobile Amaze is unlockable but the Telus Amaze is not. Is that because Tmobile allows it but Telus doesn't?
All I really want is a straight answer as to why this is the case. How are the phones different given that prior to the Tmobile being added to the htcdev site one could unlock the Telus Amaze too. Since the Tmobile was added the Telus will not unlock.
Please provide a straight and clear answer. I am rapidly losing faith in HTC. Given the recent court case loss to Apple, HTC cannot afford to alienate customers. I want to remain loyal but I feel I am being given the run-around.
UPDATE: Htc's last reply: We apologize if you feel that we are not providing you with enough information regarding the unlocking of the bootloader. However; we here at Technical Support really do not have that much information regarding this issue. This is on the development side of things that we do not have access to or clearance for. We do not support or trouble shoot this area of development. This is really a hands off area for us.
With regards to your question regarding "operator restrictions". This is a restriction based on the carrier, not the end user. We apologize as we are unable to elaborate any further on this issue. Again, for more information on unlocking the bootloader please feel free to visit our developer page at www.htcdev.com.
So who know's where we stand on this. Maybe HTC's right hand is working on it but their left hand doesn't know. Or maybe Telus has no intention of allowing us to unlock our bootloader. I guess we wait. The GSII is looking better and better at this point.
I've gotten a call from HTC support and received the same canned answers as well as direction to get in touch with Telus' support system.
I basically told the lady that their support staff isn't going to be able to tell me any more than she could and that I would really appreciate it if she could pass my request on to her supervisor and from there on the development side of things so I could get a solid answer as to wether or not this is a software related issue, or a "Telus has told us not to unlock their phones" issue.
If its the latter I can call them and start up a storm of curses and complaints, but until I do get a solid answer, I'll have telus and htc sending me back and forth to each others support lines.
Response from Telus

Clearly somebody doesn't know what their talking about. Nothing will appear on Telus' website since it isn't software we are asking about. What a bunch of idiots.
This is typical. Htc says it's Telus' fault, Telus says it's htc's fault. In the meantime customers of both companies get ****ed.
Just saw this post and thought you all might be interested.

Im wondering if there keeping a log of all users that are registered on the HTC dev. Due to the token and watermark. Because if they are they could tell sprint or asurion that you were rooted tho sprint would know due to the S relocked. Sprint really doesn't care tho most of the techs are on board with root.
Hopefully there is another method to root soon.
I know the C IQ thing was trackin stuff in the past and sprint shut it down wouldn't be something new if HTC snuck something in with the rooting since you have to set a account up on there site to root and the token and watermark and so on.
Anyone confirm yet that if you do drop your phone or it has hardware issues if your TEP still is good?
So what do you folks think?

HTC has setup their bootloader unlock method in a manner where they are able to track the device by serial number.
AlphaRevX, also required serial number for hboot 1.3/1.4 unlock.
Whether or not HTC actually uses the information, transfers the information to Sprint or Assurion, etc., I haven't seen any solid posts or indications one way or another.
HTC has set themselves up in a position where they do have sufficient knowledge to verify whether or not a device was or wasnt unlocked through their method, simply by serial number.
Hope that helps!

I got my digitizer replaced the other day, and the techs at Sprint seem to care less if you're rooted or not. I doubt HTC would transfer the information to Sprint or bull**** Assurion. I know plenty of places around me that don't even check to see if you're rooted or not.
I actually asked a Sprint tech in the mall near me if unlocking my bootloader would void my warranty with Sprint. He told me that TEP still covers your phone but my warranty with HTC may be void.
Hope that helps!

Well thats great!
But i'm kinda noob here, so could you please explain, what does the sim-unlocking process do?
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda premium
There's explanations on unlock-now.com.
Mosh don simply put whr to find it
Marten ,A handset can be unlocked by entering a code provided by the network operator. Alternative mechanisms include software running on the handset or a computer attached to the handset, hardware devices that connect to the handset or over-the-air by the carrier. Usually the unlock process is permanent. The code required to remove all locks from a phone is referred to as the master code, network code key, or multilock code. There can also be multiple levels of locks placed on the phone by networks, which block the use of other networks SIM cards. These are usually referred to as "Network" (NCK) or "Service Provider" (SPCK) locks and can be removed using the corresponding unlock codes, which are unique to each phone depending on the its IMEI.
Typically, a locked handset will display a message if a restricted SIM is used, requesting the unlock code handsets may display different messages such as "Enter special code" or "Enter unlocking code" or in some cases the handset will simply display a message stating that it is locked. Once a valid code is entered, the handset will display "Network unlocked".
The unlock code is verified by the handset and is generated by the network provider, typically by an algorithm such as a one way hash or trapdoor function. The algorithms used in many handsets are based on the IMEI number and the MCC code and have been reverse-engineered, stolen or leaked. Most handsets can be unlocked using software that generates an unlock code from an IMEI number and country and operator details using the algorithm specific to the handset. Other manufacturers have taken a more cautious approach, and embed a random number in the handset's firmware that is only retained by the network on whose behalf the lock was applied. These handsets can still be unlocked, but need to be connected to special unlocking hardware that will rewrite the part of its firmware where the lock status is kept, and often even recover a phone that is bricked or completely damaged in the software sense. However, other handsets, notably the high-end PDAs and smart-phones, can be unlocked by the use of software that can read the unlock code directly from the firmware. In case of Android handsets, the bootloader of the device can be unlocked to flash a new CID number(11111111, which indicates an unlocked device) and hence the SIM Lock is effectively removed.
Most handsets have security measures built into their firmware that protects them from repeated attempts to guess the unlock code. After entering more than a certain number of incorrect codes the phone becomes hard-locked and unlocking hardware must to be used in order to unlock them.

You still can't, because we didn't manage to S-OFF the Desire X. S-OFF means that your phone doesn't have protection, so with having S-OFF you can flash new CIDs.

Nothing to set straight. I never said att offered nor did they impede your device from being able to have that service through a third party. But for us Sammy users it's different.
