I would like to get everone to email them and maybe we can get them to act on this a bit quicker.
This is the response I got;
Good question, Mike. We definately understand the concern regarding the phones with bootloaders that are currently locked.
Unfortunately, prior to the decision to refrain from locking bootloaders, the devices had already been shipped to their appropriate vendors, and it was too late to change the software on the phones.
As much as I would love to provide you with a solid answer regarding when the encryption/lock will be removed from our bootloaders, headquarters has not made any official announcements regarding this. Though, once this decision is made, we'll definately also announce this through our website, as well as Facebook & Twitter, as well. Stay tuned; we'll definately let you know, as soon as the information becomes available.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us, Mike.

I send an email yesterday about Sense Transparent Rosie, Panoramic Camera, Flashlight and some others missing Apps and this was their answer.
Dear Roque Perez,
I understand the importance of having your device perform to the fullest of its ability. The applications you describe were removed from the production model of the Sprint EVO 3D at Sprint's request so that it would function as intended. I do paologize for any inconvenience.

HTC is just holding us off with generic answers. I believe they are going to back out of this and not unlock the EVO 3D.

Send me your ESN and I'll look it up for you and send you the MSL.
hereisyourmsl(at)gmail(dot)com
How do I do it? I work for Sprint.
Sorry bro but
1) wrong section. Maybe try General
and
2) I doubt ANYBODY would trust someone over the internet to do this.
Also for anyone interested:
User either J.eremy's or the new [TOOL] thread to download their 1-click root(basically) and then d/l MSL reader to get it within 2 minutes.
Hope this post gets deleted and user banned asap...
DON'T EVER give your ESN number to anyone!!!
What if I give you my ESN and you use it to do bad illegal things that we're not allowed to mention on XDA?

Relax you fkn idiots. He's only trying to help. He's not forcing you to give it to him.
He has an opportunity to help out, so he probably thought "why not?"
You should read post #2 to see how you can politely help someone.
I really dislike people like you.
Also, Zarboz: leave the modding to the mods.

Sure brah. Since you live pretty close to me (from Detroit), why don't I just bring my phone over to you? Perhaps you can help me in person.
This is not the best way to interact or help customers even if you genuinely work at Sprint. PM me or a admin if you want to help customers.
Thread closed.
(Just in case ) let's suppose att blacklists a note, would one still be able to use it with other carriers? (unlocked note of course)
I didnt know they blacklisted them i always heard they just disable sim but anywho.... Yeh if its unlocked it should be fine on other carriers even if att said no to it.

This guy is looking for his "lost" phone, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528628. Maybe you can help him out.
I was told att guys r dumbasses and was looking forward to have some proof. you just proved it and no stolen phones at all, simply would be good to know in case we have some dev in the future who would need a phone and would be smarter to just donate him a blacklisted one so he can use it for deving purposes my dear att idiots

Dear [ME],
Thank you for contacting HTC Technical Support,

Hm, that is interesting considering it was working until today. To me, that seems like it might just be something of a form letter to placate people but who knows?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing...i sent them a reply mentioning that it worked until today and asking for some more clarification
That's just some bull crap response to make you happy and give you some hope that they might unlock it lol. I wouldn't bet on that for anything. I would like to see what they say back to what you said though.

Lol i'm thinking you're right, I got that first response about 5 minutes after I contacted them....now its been about 45 minutes since I replied to their response and I haven't heard back from them yet
yea, dont hold your breath
HTC 's default response it's to "stay tuned". I asked them why the Thunderbolt had no ICS in June and that's the same response I got. And yet here we are and that phone will never see an official ICS release.

I just thought WTH...
I decided to mail them as well just to show growing interest... I did mention how it was possible already so it being a new phone is not an answer to why its not up yet. lol
So....they're blaming Verizon:
Dear [ME],
Thanks for your reply [ME],
I understand your frustration; However the HTC DNA is a new phone, it is discretion of the carrier to unlock the phone or allow the unlock codes on Official Development pages.

With the bounty of almost $4,000 (last time I checked) you would think that someone/recognized dev or team, would step up to this bounty of unlocking the bootloader on the Verizon variant of the S4. Even since the ME7 update, (mid July?), I am surprised! I thought I would put in my 2 cents of the topic. There is a website called change.org, which is an online petition website. I'm sure some of you have heard it.
Anyways, I saw a petition of the LG 4X. A guy made up a petition to unlock the boot loader. Soon enough, the amount of required signatures was reached, and LG came out with an update and BAM. Boot loader unlocked. Here is the link: http://www.change.org/petitions/lg-electronics-seoul-we-would-like-to-get-the-opportunity-to-unlock-bootloader-in-lg-phones
I'm going to create an petition for the Verizon S4, and hopefully, this works. Just a little bit of hope for you guys, I want it just as bad as everyone else.
You need to create an account on change.org, also you can use your facebook details. Doesn't matter. but make an account and sign!
Here is the petition, let me know what you think guys! :fingers-crossed: If I need to edit anything, let me know.
http://www.change.org/petitions/samsung-usa-and-verizon-wireless-unlock-the-bootloader-of-the-verizon-s4-sch-i545
EDIT: We've reached over 50 signatures! Keep em' coming guys. Thank you.
Verizon won't change their stance. That's why they attempt to please us by offering developer edition devices. That LG device you referenced to was a GSM unlocked device. It wasn't tied to any carrier specifically and therefore LG could directly appease those demanding change. Verizon offers the explanation in this article in regards to why it's locked and it's probably the same response you'll get. just my 2cents
still doesn't hurt to try. I'm in.
i think everyone who likes to mod their phones should try this petition.
Exactly what black_label said. It doesn't hurt to try. I see where you're coming from, but let's just see what happens. This petition is booming in the last hour.
