How many people have unlocked using HTC's method? And how did it work? You like it?
I did...on a Mac at that too. It was easy...no problems.
I've done it on my win7 machine. Process went smoothly, no problems. Only draw is you have to use fastboot to flash ramdisks/kernels. no biggie
Does using the HTC method affect Sprint Insurance at all?

Me. I used the HTCevohacks method. I just liked the fact that he included all the stuff in one download rather than downloading multiple things from HTC.
Everything works well. The fact that you have to boot into recovery through fastboot is a bit annoying. Can't just download a ROM manager, download a ROM and flash it. But it isn't too bad.
I've got infected ROM with ziggy kernel and OC to 1.6. No problems.

ego disseravi cum HTC
was easy and worked perfectly on my mac. no setup at all cuz i already had fastboot and adb. just run one command, copy the code, download the unlocktoken, and flash!
sucks to have to boot into recovery from fastboot boot every time i wanna flash a nightly tho...

It "shouldn't" affect the insurance unless it can be proven that your mods are what caused the problem with you phone. Hard to prove and can be hard to disprove.
That's the only reason I am waiting for a non-HTC method of rooting. I like to keep the rooting under the radar just so they don't have a chance to use it against me some day. Call me paranoid.

This will be really nice, but since I obtained Root through Amon Ra, switching to CWM maybe a headache. Think I'll wait until ICS update before I change anything on my phone. Still glad to know my paid Rom Manager app will be of some use soon.

Hmm , just refreshed twitter and didn't see a new announcement other than the one 13 hours ago saying he picked up a rezound ?..but that sounds great if he is already done .
I am hoping this will also lead to a CM port from him

Idk what happened. We got two builds real quick that had issues. Then nothing.
I'd wait until the charging issue gets addressed, not sure if it has yet with CWM. Its always nice to have more options though.

I use cwm touch, and found out today that yes it still has charging issues. When I used amon ra I thought I had problems with it, but looking back I don't think that was the issue.
CWM is going the way of WebOS. Yes, that makes me happy. There are far superior alternate recoveries out there. CWM has lived its life in the spotlight but the likes of TWRP and others are slamming CWM to the ground release after release, update after update. Just throwing this out there.

hrm.
I use recovery to factory reset, wipe cache, and flash roms. I'd wager that's what 95% of people use them for. What is there left to be done in recovery development that can slam another recovery to the ground, when it does the 3 things everyone uses it for?
Aside from the dead battery charging issue in CWM, the only thing I see in Amon that's handy is rebooting back to bootloader.
I'm sure I must be missing something - something I don't need, but is apparently monumental?

Amen to that TWRP would mess uo my flashes on my OG EVO and CWM would sometimes cause my captive Buttons to fail in Recovery. Smelkus Mason Recovery had unbelievable features and would never fail
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
TWRP isnt a bad recovery, I ve had no issues with it, But as you said, SmelkusMod has so many cool features and is extremely reliable. Only thing is, Smelkus is pretty picky about which device he developes for. As far as the original dev for AmonRa (damnit I always forget that dudes name,No disrespect intended) opefully he might be coming up with something for us. As I said, I dont have any issues with TWRP its just Im more accustomed to AmonRa and its nice to have alternatives.
Have y'all tried 4ext recovery? It's not on the lte yet but it was on the 3d and it was by far the best
Man i hope someone ports over some form of Amon RA, having options are always better

Lol, his name is AmonRa
Trying to remember what was so great about AmonRa. From what I remember it was just a prettier CWM. Somehow I must've missed these other variations of it but from my memory it was pretty basic when compared to TWRP. Maybe I didn't stick around with the OG EVO long enough. Hopped ship soon as 3D was released then left that for E4GT.

Yeah, same here why was AmonRa so awesome? I remember everyone said that, but I had nothing to compare it to. TWRP seems way more advanced to me in terms of being "pretty", plus the touch interface with the sliding to confirm is awesome. What are these awesome features of AmonRa?

I've had to reinstall TWRP a few times already on this device because it would just reboot itself when trying to restore a nandroid or flash a ROM

True, But a dude name Smelkus(Smelkus Mod) Took the AmonRa to a whole other level. SmelkusMod 4.3 was an awesome piece. And for those who stated That AmonRa JUST WORKED. +1 that was exactly it It just works, no issues on bugs no fussin around with ****. it just works.
Just got on rootswiki and left Smelkus a message asking if he might consider deving a recovery for our device,,,Keep your fingers crossed...

Cwm doesn't wipe properly. Twrp definitely has way more options. People using cwm(typically) have difficulty flashing sense roms when coming from Aosp because it doesn't wipe the data partition enough. Definitely get twrp.

TWRP is a lot faster at making/restoring backups. I tend to avoid Aroma roms/kernels, but the ones I have tried (Viper and Beastmode) both worked fine with TWRP. I also prefer the interface.

Stock recoveries will be allowed through the 4.4.2 bootloader check. Custom recoveries are not allowed because they pass through the aboot and if they are not 100% stock you are dropped into fastboot. Sorry man, this idea won't work.

I am not an Android Dev but how much work would it be to just create a g2 framework package that would overlay on a source aosp rom? Lg ui isn't some mystical New rom is just an overlay. Very involved but I see other people exporting the Sony ui to other roms. It might be easier than trying to find an exploit that might not exist
