HTC Bootloaders and NAND (take 2)

Did you know you can now follow us on facebook at http://goo.gl/e1CqN ?

What is the point of this?

The idea of this is to convince htc to unlock the bootloaders on more of their devices (only 3 devices support it) and to disable the NAND protection to enable users to flash custom kernels – more like the sony tool (found at http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/)

Why should I support this?

Unlocking the bootloader and disabling the NAND protection will allow users to keep their phones up to date using custom roms such as CM7. Take the htc wildfire for example. In december 2010, HTC released a 2.2 update for the wildfire. However, hidden in this update was a new bootloader which could not (until alpharev x was relased about 6 months later) be modified. It is unlikely that HTC will release another update for this phone, meaning that users would have been stuck on this rom. The reason? So HTC can sell new phones. However what this is doing is putting users off buying HTC’s devices since rival companies have announced that the users can easily unlock the bootloaders on their devices.

To support this campaign please sign the grobal using the forum at the bottom. You can also follow us on facebook at http://goo.gl/e1CqN or discuss this on XDA-Developers at http://goo.gl/LtqHr

Yes, yes and again yes. I want S-OFF on my Desire Z, not a "unlocked"
Unlock our phones and disable also security check on kernels!
Anis Ali
just make it a universal policy HTC. you're keeping me from buying your phones because development for them is stunted because of these bootloaders.

No update from the HTC dev site for at least 2 months. They didn't seem to keep their promise on unlocking the bootloader of 2011 models.

I've using an HD2. Love the phone. and the fact that i can put any OS i want. I really do want to buy another HTC, but if i cant mess with it, then im afraid HTC will be losing another customer.

The real question that the public needs ansewerd is "why lock this in the first place". my support is given

Unlock the bootloaders. It is illegal to profit off of false advertisements.

I will never buy a phone from a company willing to blatantly lie as HTC has. To openly say you'll unlock phones to make everyone happy, then continue with the original agenda is wreckless. At least Motorola hasn't been this two faced.

This issue needs to be resolved now. Brand loyalty will suffer. My Vivid is going to be returned by 12/27/11 and it will be the last HTC product I will ever purchase.

We buy them, we own them. Ultimately, we advertise for you. Unlock them and let us use them. If it's the carrier that wants them locked, then don't provide them to that carrier. People will follow if they truly want the best products.

It is an open source OS. The option to change it up should be assumed. You would also save money by not developing as much per device to lock in software most people would rather remove for better performance and battery life.

I have a little less than 90 days to return my HTC Rezound to Costco for an exchange. If I can't get root access before that time is up, I will go get a Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

PLEASE HTC, give us the flexibility to use your phones/tablets to their utmost capacity! You need users out there in order to learn what we want so you can provide us more sales. Let us fully appreciate the HTC platform and we'll keep coming back for more. For the most part, us nerds don't wait for the next 'new' thing to come down in price before we buy. Make your product uber dynamic and we'll be return customers.

Be true to your word, HTC - unlock our bootloaders. This bait-and-switch NONSENSE needs to go. You lied to us and now its time to face the music.
Anthony d\'Revelator
S-off, bootloader unlocked on my new Rezound = an HTC devotee. HTC would profit by listening to us - Most of us upgrade our phones at least once every year or two - I went through 3 Droids on my last contract alone. I do know that my next phone will NOT be locked - whether it's an HTC or not depends on HTC.

Phones unlocked and S-OFF are the way to go, specially as the Community will be the one supporting old devices that are still perfectly valid and able. Do this and you'll have a huge base of loyal users and customers. I, for once, love my ChaCha too much to let it go, and it's considered Legacy on XDA!

in Redsnow 0.9.4, i choose iPhone1,2_3.1.2_7D11_Restore.ipsw and then the kenerl patching happens. after that, i see all of the same checkboxes you have apart from the unlock one. what could be incorrect? before installing whited00r (for iPhone1,2_3.1.3_7E18_Restore), i had version 3.1.3 and bb 05.14.02. after installing whited00r, i still have same bb and os still shows version 3.1.3 (7e18).thanks,
