Anyone know how i get into the bootloader screen to find out if my phone is S-Off? I tried the old method from the Evo by holding down volume and power at same time, but no luck....
TIA

You have to go to settings-->power and turn fast boot off. Then turn the phone off, then back on while holding power and volume down
Once you actually have a reason to go there, you'll know how to from here.

Umm, considering how many people are returning their 3d because of the still locked bootloader, he nor anyone else has S off...

LOL how would he lose his job . I am not returning my phone love it also the good old EVO had the same situation with root and other issues took awhile for them to fix it but in the end it was all good as could be.
Since the Unlocking Tool is from Motorola, will it allow the Photon Bootloader to be unlocked without disabling 4G/WiMax on custom ROMs that require an unlocked bootloader?

No. Doesn't currently work with photon. This can easily be found out by looking at the supported devices.

Damn, I feel stupid. I read way too fast over the 4 pages I looked at. I seen Photon, but didn't read the "LTE" and the end of it. Sorry folks.

It's not on the unlockable device list, but it may be in the near future.
We can sit around and wait for Motorola to do it. Or we could all sign an online petition and show them how big the community is, and how much business they'll loose if they don't unlock bootloaders!

Already been done. Either they will or won't and I think they've already decided which way they plan on going. I don't believe that anything that we do now will change their mind.

I need about 3 - 4 unlock_code.bins. I want to see if I can find a pattern. Also, PM me your IMEI number (or ESN if it doesnt have an IMEI). I want to see if I can find a pattern or anything. Don't get your hopes up. Just wanna see if I can find something matching or not.
Also, if you are willing to post your unlock token, MAKE SURE TO PM ME, DO NOT PUBLICLY TYPE YOUR IMEI/ESN!!
UPDATE: I also need the token info when you are the "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" command. I see somewhat of a relation with it.

Here's mine.
just an update. ive been busy today with school work. I made 4 unlock code tokens from my Amaze and I will compare it with the token Identifier and see if i can find anything. ill try a bit now before i go to sleep
minor update: The unlock_code.bin are all the same. Now I'm looking for a repetition between the identifiers. This will take some time.
Here's mine.
Thanks for your time fellas

Out of curiosity, what are you using to view the .bin files?
This is probably useless, but the HTC Aria has the same Hboot ver and this phone and it can be unlocked via Revolutionary's tool.

NOW verizon made a comment in one of the replies, they won't unlock due to software clitches on the phone. Do you think MAYBE? after the update they MIGHT? let unlock again.Just a little food for thought??
I hope your right, maybe that's the reason for a newer hboot with this update
Can you attach the response? Copy pasta?

At least VZW has finally given some sort of explanation instead of the non-response we've been getting. I hope HTCdev unlock comes along with it.

Its a super old post though. It could mean that this upcoming update will in turn allow htcdev again, but then again it could mean absolutely nothing. Time will tell I suppose.

IT could also mean no s-off,too with a new hboot. i'd wait awhile after updates start rolling to see what happens.

Well, you never know what they'll do, they might base it on the amount of installed updates too, never know!!
Why after so many months, there are still no custom roms being made for this phone? Is it because of the second screen or because no one cares enough to do one?
Because of the locked bootloader
Only tmobile variant is unlockable

Can't you use the TMO variant with some random small-dollar plan for just a couple months, pay off the phone, then take it to Verizon unlocked?

AFAIK, Verizon checks MEID from their inventory table and won't allow activation if it is not in their inventory table.

Verizon would never activate it on their network anyways, so it doesn't matter. They whitelist IMEIs.

I figured being similar to the g4 we wouldn't have issues getting a rom from a dev. I read a post from someone saying they were able to get a g4 rom to flash on the v10.

My thoughts exactly
The lack of development for this phone is the main reason I wish I didn't get this phone.
It's interesting that there isn't much development on this phone considering its one that seems to appeal to power users with Microsd support, battery removal and the secondary screen.
Well, I would think someone would have to figure out root first since the tmobile version is the only one with root so far.
People seem to be trying but it's slow going!
