First I would like to thank all the DEV's for all the great things you have done for many, many phones over the years. Second I see a lot of people getting pissy over the 2.04 FW for the DNA. I updated before getting the unlock.bin, I was a day late and a buck short on finding out I could not unlock the new bootloader, whose fault was that? Mine and mine alone. I bought this phone in the first place because I liked the specs and kinda figured XDA would have it figured out, and you did. I have always appreciated everything XDA has brought to the table for me since hmm since a boatload of phones ago, I did then and do now. Some people here need to be reminded that you guys put in a lot of hours and work for the mods and write ups you bring us on your own free will and most likely are not making a ton of money for doing it.
If you guys are working on it then great and thank you, if you think it's time to move on to a new project and those of us that updated are SOL then I DO NOT hold it against you or take it personally and still thank you for all the great work you have done thus far.
Thanks,
Shane
Yes, I agree totally.
And would only like to make it known that I'd be willing pony up the donation to make it possible for us too. As I would hope many others would also...?
Thanks again.

People need to realize that a lot of these guys have families or are in school and do this for fun. One guy had posted up that he was super sick and wasnt gonna be doing much and people still blew the thread up asking when he was going to work on it again. What these guys do is great and it is leaps and bounds more amazing than the iOS community I came from. (Prior iphone owner).

I'm brand new here to DNA, but am no stranger to respecting devs. Just making it known my REQUEST and OFFER to donate in return for their hard work.
I don't think there's anything wrong with at least getting it out there.
Thanks.

Says the guy who is probably rooted? Haha.. what if you bust your phone and they send you an updated phone and ur screwed?
Why don't u mind your own business. If you don't have anything productive to say, please move on.
Is that too much, Moderator? Or is it true? I'm tired of hearing people who are probably rooted, run their mouth.

I'm sure that's EXACTLY how the devs feel. </sarcasm>
While normally I might agree with you, so what, this is just a general forum, and there a still plenty of people who need to realize that these devs are random people just like them. These devs just happen to have some know how and willingly spend (a lot of) their own time working on tweaking things. Then they're nice enough to share that work with the world, often asking for nothing more than sharing their work and credit where it's due.
And I know of a few who are doing that... I understand who your are speaking to and I agree.
I'm just saying it's understandable that they're upset. Me, I traded it knowing I'm gonna have to wait and am trying not to cry about it. It may get cracked or maybe not, still a great phone!

I'm not rooted, I was then bricked doing something, hard bricked, got a phone sent to me with the rootable FW BUT I did the update before I unlocked. MY bad. I would love it if the DEVs figure this out and make it so people like me and who ever else can root again. If not I read some where I can send it in to get JTAGGED or I could always look for a non updated DNA or just wait and buy the HTC ONE, but I really love the DNA, I would love it alittle more if I could do a few more things that a rooted DNA lets me do.

Any word if sending it to someone to be jtagged is actually an option? My DNA is my spare device, so I could definitely send it off for a while.

All the info is there. Is your spare DNA upgraded to the 2.04 FW? If no then you do not need to send it away.
If you do this would you keep us updated please. I have a spare phone I could use for awhile if I take that route.

Yeah a store rep took the ota right in front of me after he gave me a new sim.. Was pissed. Definitely looking into this. Everyone feel like this is legit and think they won't just keep my phone? Haha
Edit :
I just reached out to him on twitter. If it's reasonably priced, I'll take the dive.

I don't think this is a keep your phone scam. I fix and build PC's on the side and I have strangers give me laptops, desktop, ipods, phones, and other junk all the time to be fixed. And when something needs parts they give me credit card numbers. Maybe they can send you some sort of email contract or receipt or something.
Yeah after wagching the video and reading through twitter a bit, it seems legit. I'm definitely going to send it in if the price makes sense.

My rezound is going wonky and in need of a new phone. Question is should I get the DNA or hold off and see if Verizon get the HTC one? If I get it, it will be as a 2nd line.. should I get it and also wait til Nov for my normal upgrade and get whatever new phone comes out near x-mas?

I don't believe they are getting the one. The DNA is the best your going to get at the moment. Unless you wait for the gs4 that comes next month. Verizon is also supposedly getting the Motorola x this June. But the DNA is $49 with a new contract right now.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
If you like custom Roms and kernels and such I would not recommend it. There's nothing wrong with the dev community but if you buy it now you won't be able to unlock etc unless you send the phone off.
I would wait for the gs4 personally.

Ok, yea I have been looking at the gs4 too. I might wait for that, just not a big fan of Samsung.. why can't the DNA be unlocked now?

Btw, when I say 2nd line. I mean I'm going to add a 2nd line but take the better phone and use it as my personal line(1st line) and put the rezound on the 2nd
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
The latest ota has not been cracked yet and as of now it looks very unlikely.
I'm currently just waiting to see what happens until the GS4 is released.
If we get a fully functional CM10 on the DNA I'll be perfectly happy but who knows.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Do you really want to play the "maybe i'll wait just a few more months for this newer phone to come out" game?
I'm sure the GS4, and HTC One are great, but DNA seems just as impressive ( based on video reviews of all ). Once Verizon releases sense 5 for it being rooted won't make a difference.
Rezound to DNA was an amazing upgrade, so much more battery life, NO HICCUPS, and an even more gorgeous screen that can be on for 4-5 hours compared to 1 hour, lets not forget 24/7 4G without battery drain.

And yes I know new things come out all the time and its hard to keep up. But is it worth it to spend that kind of money on a phone that in a few months will be beaten by something else?? Is it worth the money at this time? Or wait for something better? .. I know near x-mas there will be another awesome phone, and I will have an upgrade then to get it.. but for now, is it worth the money to spend on the DNA when in a few months there will be something better????

Just wait for the DNA-HIV, it will be sick (pardon he pun).
And yes, there will always be a newer and better phone on the horizon. Just get one that at least has staying power, ie fastprocessor, lota of ram, and a good screen.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
Just be prepared to jtag it.
DNA is a great device, I switched between this and my GS3 before I sold it and was extremely happy to come back to the DNA. Root would have been a deal breaker for me but since I unlocked and rooted before I took the OTA updates I was able to root again on the newest update. HTC has also always always (I don't care what anyone tells you) had better overall reception and not just with service and 4G but with WiFi Bluetooth too. My GS3 sucked when it came to getting strong signal and I doubt the GS4 will be any better with it, Samsung has always lacked in that department.

Yea, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get tomorrow.. rooted is good, but its not gonna stop me from getting a device cuz I can't root yet. I know how good the devs are here at xda, so I know its just a matter of time... I remember buying the evo 3d and HTC saying the bootloader was unhackable.. but our devs did it.. so I have faith in the xda devs ... Thanks guys

No. Root ( practical root not ****ing # who am I?) Will never be achieved through software means. If some uber geek figures out how to do some sort of ground out through USB (impossible) then maybe.

Cause no one with the required knowledge gives a **** about the DNA.
Our devs are great but, we are talking doctorates in applied sciences.
And that'd be Master know-it-all to you.

Just because the people who are working on it aren't posting public updates on what theyre doing doesn't mean it isn't being worked on, and by some pretty damn talented people might I add. Anythings possible. All it takes is for someone to get lucky and find an exploit that lets us get rid of write protection for any amount of time.

I just wanted to give thanks to the developers of this phone. Especially the ones that gave us an AOSP experience. I recently switched from the Rezound to the Galaxy Nexus which only cost me like $15 to do so in the end. And while I'm happy with the change and I like the Galaxy Nexus, the developers of the Rezound kept it fresh for the year and 6 months I had it.
Agreed! I have had this phone for a year and a half and an still loving it. Thanks everyone!

HTC makes nice phones. And now they provide a web-based bootloader unlocker (s-off). But how can you replace the pen?

Yep I agree, but I like nerding it up here also, except I don't have as much time as I used to. I'm definitely waiting for the note 3, my note will be 20 months around the speculated time of release so I'll be signing on another 2 year plan with AT&T . I just hope they don't go overboard with the note 3 size.

Just a little curious as to where all the developers are? Not complaining at all and I haven't even rooted my phone but just wondering if this device is going anywhere in terms of custom roms. I know it still very early but would love to see some miui on this beast
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk 4
Just like you said, give devs time to acquire this device. Just because you got it the first week its out doesnt mean a bunch of devs can do the same.
This is why I wait before purchasing a phone for a couple months. Besides the note 2 is still a beast of a phone with plenty of roms to choose from.
Sent from my note 2 ya bish!
Note II development fizzled out a while ago but the Note 3 has only been out for a week so these guys need time to figure things out. I still love my Note II and I'm keeping it when I get my Note 3 (unless anyone wants to buy it for $300 bucks lol)
Cool, appreciate the feedback guys. Now I'll sit here quietly and twiddle my thumbs waiting for the explosion of roms to come

I'm willing to bet this phone gets plenty of roms/ect. Just some new things to learn about and problems to solve still.also waiting on more devs to get one. I bet by the end of the year it'll have a thriving development section. Also most of the stuff written for other note 3's should be fairly easy to port over.that and the fact that some of the devs are working on the htc one at the same time.
