That's why I thought this wasn't the optimal place for a petition, besides the limited hits. That said, a petition usually includes signatures of people with the same opinion to eventually present it to whoever the petition is aimed at.

I honestly have no clue why anyone would be against having an open bootloader for other people. You have a choice you know.
[HTC Sensation] pimpmaneaton:
Yes, Yes, YYYEEEESSS!

I don't understand why HTC would locked their bootloader down in the first place. They should relize by know that their phones are mainly bought to be customized the their users preference. Locking something like this down can only damage their number of sales. Sure they may get the occasional bricked device back that some one tries to claim warranty but that number cannot even touch the number of sales that they could have with open loaders. Oh well just another hurdle to jump. But yes please unlock your bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] r4d14n7:
So you're saying HTC sells more phones to people who flash custom ROMs than to people who stick with stock? You sure about that?

And I'm voting to unlock the bootloader. Don't want the device but the more unlocked bootloaders the better.
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
Yes, Unlock it!
[HTC Sensation] DoeBoi:
i got this link from the incredible s general discussion section, i think this might explain why all the sudden htc begun to lock boothloader on their newer phones, just think of what sony phones were like prior 2011, sony used to have crazy security on their phones and now they're helping people to root their devices, i hope we will start this petition soon and let htc know what they are doing to the customers, like us!

[HTC Sensation] 1234lixin:
i don't know who voted the ****ing no。
[HTC Sensation] pimpmaneaton:
Im not at all saying they, im saying they more than likely would sell more off the get go with an announched unlocked bootloader. Considering from what ive read on the other treads many will flock to samsung for sake of theor bootloader is not locked.

[HTC Sensation] kfgtboypsp:
Yes unlock the bootloader!
[HTC Sensation] euplio:
Come on guys in only 2 days about 180 votes !!!! We must go on!!!
[HTC Sensation] harveydent:
Thanks for the link. Ugh, looks like x10 all over again...
[HTC Sensation] :
Well still alot of sense developers will get this phone. Also a worldwide release of the sensation. Will mean more developers will come. Please if you pick no explain why. I can understand why HTC locked bootloader. The more developers come the more chance of their closed source HTC sense to be ported to other devices. I would want to keep my property as safe as possible.
[HTC Sensation] RemcoManuel:
Yes, kill it with fire...
[HTC Sensation] setzer715:
Voted YES, but I'm with TMO USA, don't matter what I do, will have locked boot loader.
[HTC Sensation] cwee477:
wow im an idiot i posted no, instead of yeah by mistake
[HTC Sensation] Defectus:
I've mailed HTC on this issue stating that I won't buy their phones unless the bootloader is unlocked etc..

Their excuse was that "We are doing that so we can offer our customers our guarantee" which is a pretty lame answer. I just hope that all the bright devs here is able to crack the bootloader
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
Those are probably SamSux troll, they're pist that HTC is releasing Sensation hahaha
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
I don't get it. It just doesn't make sense how Android users get so emo against other Android users about which phone sucks the most. If it was an iPhone, then yeah... I could understand. There's so much hate everywhere.. it's sickening. Someone asks a question, they're called a "troll." Someone mentions "4G" and 12 new wiki articles are written about why it's not really 4G... everybody needs to relax - or focus that hate towards something that matters, like HTC unlocking the bootloaders!
[HTC Sensation] cwee477:
I'm was a samsung vibrant user and I had already sold my vibrant just to purchase the sensation. Its ridiculous how people are, on this forum
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
surely it would make more sense if everyone just signed this larger one http://www.groubal.com/htc-bootloaders-and-nand/
[HTC Sensation] Ghisy:
I don't know if you guys have seen HTC's FB page but it's being BOMBED with negative comments about the bootloader situation!! I hope this will have some kind of impact.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Haha, that's insane! If they don't see ho stupid they are being, then they deserve everything they get!

Sensation will be my FINAL HTC device if this locked bootloader nonsense carries on.

However, if the company has ANYONE with the tiniest bit of common sense, they will unlock them pretty swiftly.
[HTC Sensation] BBOOZE:
Honestly, is this bootloader thing really an issue? When I got my G2 at launch there was some little nugget that TMO threw in there that made it difficult to root the phone. That "problem" lasted about one month and now the phone is wide open. So I guess my response would be "who cares" because someone on here will figure out a way around it, no?
[HTC Sensation] Bratag:
This method of locking down the phone is far more complex than that.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...r-recovery-and-kernel-images-all-locked-down/

Very much harder to get around.
[HTC Sensation] Alex27r:
YES, of course!

[HTC Sensation] m1r4j91:
Ofcourse, we want it unlocked! I'm surprised that HTC haven't listened to us yet given the fact that 1000s of people (not only here, HTC facebook group, other forums, etc...) want it unlocked!

Edit: Seriously, the 13 people that voted NOT, why are you here? This is a development forum...
[HTC Sensation] m1r4j91:
HTC Facebook

Guys, an update from the HTC facebook page HTC Facebook
[HTC Sensation] paulswift36:
Yes

Unlock it please
[HTC Sensation] GbrilliantQ:
Yes of course. If I wanted a locked phone, I'd buy an iPhone. I was going to buy the Sensation as the only phone I felt was an upgrade to my dualboot HD2, but if it's locked down I won't be upgrading.
[HTC Sensation] euplio:
SOMETHING IS MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!!
[HTC Sensation] boostedb16b:
yes something does seem to be on the move apparently htc is working on an update with bootloader unlock.... htc will be praised for this move.. and thanks to all the petitioners and facebook bashers who have made this little step possible

copied from htc facebook page but apparently a bootloader update is being issued...

Erin Petersen

Would someone help me with my ignorance, and fully explain what bootlocker is, i was just one the phone to htc about an update i recieved, and they have told me the bootlocker updates have not been issued? as far as im aware it means i cannot install the apps i want if they dont allow it? it this right?
[HTC Sensation] Kevinik:
YEAH!

Why do 14 peeps voted Not? It just baffles my mind... had to be trolls.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I'm very glad the various petition efforts continued despite nay sayers.

We are now seeing that HTC realizes that they better reconsider.
[HTC Sensation] Jas_932:
They have already replied to us on both twitter and facebook, that they will be looking into the issue due to overwhelming response from the android and HTC community
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Just proves you can't listen to the nay sayers.

Keep up the efforts everyone, it's paying off.
[HTC Sensation] *SanSiro*:
I say "YES, UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADERS"!

I belong to the SGSII side, but I want you guys to have the same benefits

as we have and I also think both devices are equally good, it's just a matter of taste!

:)
[HTC Sensation] beautyangel:
THX san siro, happy to see a samsung owner support htc owners. Great bro and keep in touch. :)
[HTC Sensation] *SanSiro*:

Please unlock the bootloader HTC.

Android is all about open source and personal customization. If your competitors are happy to give it and you don't want to lose customers, please reconsider.

MMB.
[HTC Sensation] MagnaCartaHG:
My decision to buy this phone is pending HTC's decision. Let's hope it's the right one.
[HTC Sensation] hell_freezer:
Seriously,I won't buy it until unlocked.

Locked htc phones means goodbye to htc.
[HTC Sensation] ericc191:
Same boat as you.
[HTC Sensation] tjjensen23:
I would like it open aswell. Must add to dual core collection ;)
[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
Yes of course
[HTC Sensation] Ghisy:
Yeah, join the club people!
[HTC Sensation] jdmarko:
This just posted on facebook by HTC: "There has been overwhelmi ngly customer feedback that people want access to open bootloaders on HTC phones. I want you to know that we've listened. Today, I'm confirming we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices. Thanks for your passion, support and patience," Peter Chou, CEO of HTC
[HTC Sensation] sonnysekhon:
EPIC WIN :D!!! Can't wait to get the Sensation now :).

Many thanks to this wonderful community who made this possible. I really mean it. XDA members are the greatest :).

[HTC Sensation] sianzb0i:
Does it apply to asia (singapore) sets as well?
[HTC Sensation] sorcerika:
Good news. But will they unlock already released phones too?
[HTC Sensation] downwiththebanksters:
Ever the conspiracist I wonder if their motivation was also based on the fact the reviews of Engadget and Slashgear at best gave them a silver medal. I know that regardless of unlock status, and despite the amazing beauty and capabilities of this phone I've gotta go GSII. Is that too trolly for first post?
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Yes please!
[HTC Sensation] gil78:

[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
absolutely no idea, its a pointless petition.
[HTC Sensation] Shoa from 4pda:
Petition from Russia^^

So, ladies and gentlemens. Hello from russian PDA community (I can't post link because of rules) and sorry for my English. We all there feel the frustration because of situation with Sensation S-On. But words-only can't change anything. That's why I decided create this note and already sent it to HTC, and other russian users did the same now (I hope):

Hello, dear HTC.

This is one of many users of yours smartphones. Now I deliver those thoughts from *your country* and this note is about HTC Sensation. I guess you already know what's the problem - in locked status of bootloader. Also I think you can understand that I can't afford to spend those money on locked phone - I just physically cant get what I need. That's why my only request is about S-Off on my Sensation.

With great esteem from PDA community of *your place*.

We need to cooperate now and send those words not only from Russia, but from ALL OF US. Send those words to HTC. And so we can make a difference.

That's not a joke, that's action.
[HTC Sensation] Firefall!:
It's not! The bootloader MUST be unlocked so we can flash the Sensation, to improve it or to remove branding. Who wants branding anyway? You have no idea what you're saying.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
I don't think they were disagreeing with the fact that the bootloader needs to be unlocked, everyone (except for a few iPhone or SGII trolls who voted No) wants the bootloader unlocked. I'm guessing they only meant that unless the results of this petition somehow gets sent to HTC then it's a useless thread. If we all just vote here and nothing further is done then what's the point of the thread ;) (Again, I'm guessing that's what they meant.)

Now on a serious note: HTC has already committed to releasing "software" to unlock our bootloader so further action isn't really necessary
[HTC Sensation] sargonkano:
Just bought the Sensation from Walmart for 149.99 and I say...

YES!!!!!!!!

Or I'll return the phone damn it...
[HTC Sensation] Shoa from 4pda:

[HTC Sensation] REDNET55:

[HTC Sensation] Awassenaar:

It is so unfair, there are allready two cool custom ROM's for us to look at and waiting to be flashed and yet we can't... Like putting a dog in a cage and laying a big juicy steak just out of his reach.
[HTC Sensation] Calmplex2g:

[HTC Sensation] tantin75:
Long live the free bootloader!
[HTC Sensation] garou_umbra_warrior:
yes of course.htc has already announced that it will unlock it.anyways im waiting for it and the custom rom all the wizards in here are gonna make.and to be truthfull i think htc and the other companies read this forum cause it the biggest and most serious one about tweaking and ocing your phone.
[HTC Sensation] tkdsl:
Yes please
[HTC Sensation] xyber109210:
YES

Yes unlock it now.:)
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
I bought the Sensation last week with Vodafone branding .....

But I started to suspect that Vodafone Bootlooder unlock will take much longer time than the regular Generic Sensation unlock. I am also beginning to think Vodafone might even reject the idea of unlocking bootloaders on their devices as everybody will change the branding simply.

So today I am returning my Vodafone branded Sensation and getting an Unbranded Sensation !!! If you have the chance I recommend the same to you all with Vodafone branding.

Here is a final photo shoot of my Most Recent Little HTC Family :)

1x HD

[HTC Sensation] HighTech216:
YESSS

Hell Yes unlock my bootloader... Why wasn't an oem-unlock option available??

I'm not going to threaten to return my device. But I only paid $150 for it and I bet I can get more than that for it on eBay.

BTW HTC, our opinion can either make you or break you. Depending on the way the support team handles this issue, this could be my last HTC device. As sad as I am to say that, the other companies have realized your trends and are making products to directly compete with yours. Beware.:p
[HTC Sensation] darkjuan:

so no need to do anything(poll or no poll) its on its way, HTC officially confirmed that it is prepping an update that will be rolled out to the HTC Sensation in order to unlock the device’s bootloader which puts to rest any worries that owners may have had about it not getting unlocked. so just enjoy ur phone and wait :cool:

Looking to make that switch to Sensation soon, but if they don't....I'll scrounge my pennies for an unlocked S2. BTW, the 30 "no" replies probably came from HTC people on the low.....

Unlock My Bootloader PLEASE!

Yes, please unlock the bootloader! It's one of the reasons why I'm such a happy android user. After buying the newest phones on the market and finding out that I can't do what I loved most about my Nexus One really upset me. I hope this message gets through to HTC soon.

[HTC Sensation] shar1r:
+1 YES!!

Big time!!
[HTC Sensation] asharp:
Yes, please!
[HTC Sensation] Unconn:
Let me backup my yes vote by saying that HTC should probably register the IMEI numbers of users who unlock their phones. Say, you go to there website, you type in your IMEI. It then generates an unlock code for your phone. Then if you brick your device they know you took a risk and it is not a warranty issue.

The other option is a Nexus one style unlock where you have the option to do it locally on the phone, but it is a permanent change and phones sent back for repair could be easily checked.

Well, if I ran a mobile company I would do one of those options.
[HTC Sensation] riverajuan:
I just got my sensation and was hoping to root this great device, but understand it doesn't come that easy to the great devs around here.

I am in my remorse period right now which means I have 13 more days to get rid of this unit if I can't do what I want to do with my purchase to satisfy my needs.

After all that is what we purchase this phones for.
[HTC Sensation] doublecheese:
