Excellent...let the games begin! Will this include the Sensation?
[General Topics] Kailkti:
According to engadget;

The homebrew community may mourn HTC's Thunderbolt, Incredible S, Sensation and EVO 3D, but the company's controversial policy of locking bootloaders is no more.

So guess that means sensation is still a jail cell.

I really think they're going to do the sensation as well its there other flagship dual why would they not ?

From a developers point of and consumers we TRULY appreciate it Mr. Chou and HTC for giving us the ability to innovate with you side by side.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aus_Azn:
I've seen some threads here on XDA about installing DSPManager capabilities (made famous in CM) into standard 2.2/2.2.1 phones. I was wondering if this works on a BML Captivate on 2.2 based Samsung ROMs due to the presence of leftover TW frameworks and possible library differences.

More specifically, I'm referring to this:

You just can't help jumping on negatives.

No, it doesn't, but it was all about the Evo 3D so I'm sure it will be "unlocked" via an OTA.

Good news overall. You know, it's fine if they ship them locked (but not encrypted)... just let us 'fastboot oem unlock' them. People that want to unlock them can do such.

Either way, it will be nice to see how this plays out now that it's been confirmed by HTC's CEO.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
oh screw off, i may buy a 3d myself but not if it's still locked. don't give me this htc trumps any other phone BS.
[EVO 4G General] Vegasden:
My guess is it'll be an optional download to get the unlocked bootloader for the 3D. Why force an OTA on the 95% or so that don't, won't or have no idea about root.

If someone would have asked me what I think of HTC, I promise you I would have told the story and there is no way I would have recommended them. Now, it's all changed. It's like I'm singing their praises even more because they, as a company, actually listened and changed a policy. That says a lot. Kinda seems like they pulled a slick move on us :p

[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Hope HTC isn't just claiming they will unlock the phone to get folks to buy so that they can make money and kick people to the curb. I'm sure there is a catch with the latest news about them unlocking the boot loaders. Sprint still has to come to a agreement .

So this news is alil fishy since the evo 3d is so close to coming out . I think they might be in it for the money so they will say whatever they want to increase sales. Hope not. Love HTC company hope there not gonna screw us.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:

[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Sprint has already declared the encrypting of the bootloader is 100% an HTC decision.

As far as the rest of your post there's always the 30 money back guarantee and I really dont see HTC pulling that.

It would destroy customer relations.

I dunno it seems odd to close to the release day and now this news doesn't it seem weird to you.

Not dogging the evo 3d just weird how they started saying they will unlock the bootloader.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
No one being negative about anything man just seems weird. HTC still hasn't said anything or confirmed it.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
What do you mean they haven't said anything or confirmed it?

Yes they did.

Albeit not specifically about the 3D but the fact is the 3D being locked is what started it.

So logic ddictates...

[EVO 4G General] dcfella:
I've loved my Evo since I got it last summer but when HTC said they were locking the bootloader, I actually had thoughts about getting the Galaxy2. Not anymore though. Even if the SG2 has slightly better specs, I'll take a company like HTC that supports and listens to its customers any day. Evo 3D, here I come
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
I think this thread really shows what many have been saying: some folks around here are never happy, and actively LOOK for reasons to be negative...if HTC made a phone that paid you to use it and had a special self-cleaning BJ dongle, they would complain that it was the wrong color and too rough with the teeth. That must be a very sad place to live.
[EVO 4G General] Tiffany84:
Just got the news. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I signed it but i honestly didn't think it would make a difference. I can't believe they listened. I knew I loved HTC for a reason. Thank u to whoever decided to get this started and thanks for the people that brought it to Xda.
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
Yup.... Like I said tho in post #35, seems like it was a good marketing ploy also...... Either way, I'm good, I don't care. I'll be rocking custom roms on my 3d. :D
[EVO 4G General] indiscriminant:
It wasn't only the EVO 3D that caused this, there has been an uprising with their other phones on verizon that have been out a bit as well as with the Sensation/Pyramid. I think this is a response to the outcry regarding all of the devices and would not be surprised if they simply release an OTA since we are close to launch, and some phones have launched.

I don't believe with that comment being signed by the CEO and the fact all of the press/blogs will pick it up that they will go back on it.

Now I am sure some here are going to throw a fit if it doesn't happen on release or even within a week of release. Personally I wouldn't expect it for several weeks, if it is in fact releasing early June.
[EVO 4G General] Ophois:

[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Absolute truf.
[EVO 4G General] motenak:
I am honestly shocked that HTC has responded this way as I didn't even think a company their size would even acknowledge all the fuss. I think everyone who wrote a letter, sent an email or signed a petition should send HTC a thank you email. While you're writing the thank you, slip in something about how incredible it would be if HTC rooted the phone at the same time they remove the locked bootloader!
[EVO 4G General] dased14:
Know if they tell us that evo3d is going to be updated to remove lock or not ship locked i'm all over it on release. Ok devs get really for it.

Brought to you by the little voices in my head
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Unbelievably good move by HTC :)

I'm really surprised they responded so quickly and that the message came from the CEO himself.

Regarding speculation about whether this statement from HTC will apply to the 3D: Of course it will unless they WANT to invite another protest. Also he did say "all future devices" right? Well last I checked the 3D is not yet a current device.. I'm still eagerly awaiting not only the release of the phone but the release of the release date! lol

Looks like I'll get to make my first ever launch day purchase after all :D

Way to go HTC!
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:

[EVO 4G General] toneman1984:
I remember some people saying that our voice was such a minority that it would never sway such a large company. I remember thinking that with that kind of attitude, nothing would change. Then I remember all of the people saying the opposite.

I posted on several sites and emailed as many people as I could as did many others that thought, like me, it was worth fighting for even if the odds were not in our favor. Well look at that! HTC listens!
[EVO 4G General] JDPito:
Best news I have heard all night! Thanks to all of you who have rallied your efforts in keeping our devices customizable!
[EVO 4G General] sameog:
HTC got owned by ALL of us!

HTC produces great products and also come out of nowhere into the mobile market.

CEO Peter Chou reversed his decision because of all of us! HTC cannot afford to lose their consumer base. Figure this: Look at their competition out there. They have LOTS to lose.

On the flip side, if HTC didn't listen and went ahead with the bootloader lockout, I think that a big percentage of HTC owners might have either sold their phones thru ebay or craigslist or told their friends/family/associates that HTC stinks to high heaven. Nothing like free bad press to send your market share down the toilet.

In closing, HTC was smart to listen to their users. Personally, for me, I'm waiting on the EVO 3D (partly because I cannot afford it yet -- oh well) and I am going to wait for the hype to settle.

HTC users, REJOICE! We got what we wanted! :D
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I am satisfied, thank you THC
[EVO 4G General] shawnathan9:
Wise is your business sense but not very supportive in your title. HTC did something good so there's not sense in saying they were owned.

A lot of the consumers don't even root so it would not have affected the majorities decision making process when buying their product. Marketing makes that decision for consumers. :D

HTC did an exceptional thing. They listened to the "developers" side and weighed out their business position as well. HTC's decision looks very promising from a developers perspective but the average consumer doesn't root phones like we do here. Therefore, it will benefit us more than the majority of whom does not know or care to learn about 3rd party ROMs.

Nobody was owned at all and HTC prevented that from happening. Kudos for anyone who spoke up to change their minds about locking out future phones.

HTC just won a HUGE amount of support/future purchases from developers!

[EVO 4G General] Tahde:
Good news, very good news!
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
Great job guys! I'm happy the suits realized the error of their line of thinking.

Chances are the 3D will come already locked but they will release someway of unlocking after the fact.

One time for the nay sayers about the bootloaders! One time for nay sayers about the Heat (I'm looking at you Charles)!
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Yeah, right.

The real reason was the complaints they were getting on Facebook and maybe Twitter.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Just an observation on my part, but just the other day, I saw a ton of posts in this forum that were slamming the 3D as inferior (not just because of the locked bootloader issue) to other devices, particularly the Galaxy S2. I wonder how many of you who said you were going with the GS2, are changing your tune and going back to the 3D? How many are still going with the GS2?
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Simply not the truth. Both phones are basically similar. Difference would be if you like touchwiz vs sense, HTC vs Samsung.
[EVO 4G General] funcrusher:
Wow, I'm actually shocked. This is great news.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
For me I still want the GS2. The only thing thats killing me about that though is the fact that who knows when itll be before it comes out... or if Sprint botches it up and gets a keyboard version. Will probably get that one on my VZW line though. Im not gonna lie, I was at the bar last night and this chick came and sat beside me with the AT&T Infuse. And the screen on that thing had me envious as hell. And I was looking at some of the pics she took with it... man.. I was hating.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
I also still want the Galaxy S II. I just don't see the need for the 3D portion on the phone. The specs are almost the same but the GS2 is thinner and has the Super AMOLED Plus display.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
I'm leaning that way too but would love to hear an expected release date for Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
That would be nice...for either phone!
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
He made a good point. HTC clearly said future phones. Its all in the words. The smart choice is to wait and see what's they do with the 3D. If it gets unlocked buy it. Simple as that.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
they NEVER said the 3d will get unlocked. moto said their future phones will not be locked either, the current ones still are.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Considering that the 3D isn't even released it may fall under their wording. Like I said, when it gets unlocked or comes unlocked, well know then.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
They never said future phones. They said "our devices"

Also one member received an email from CEO about the 3D being unlocked.
