That is a good thing. But the announcement is for future phones. No official news about the old ones with locked bootloaders.
[Wildfire General] egodemis:
+1 they will free bootloader in they new devices like sensation the older devices like wildfire wil still lock (the unlock older devices is bad for htc marketing and will decrease the selling on they new devices)

ok no prob i will drop the wilfire an i will buy somthing from samung or lg...

htc has no respect for customers ok htc if you dont unlock older phones too i will walk... they are many fishes out there......

(sorry for bad english)
[Wildfire General] Les1976:
Lets be fair, i don't see how 'as you put it' (the unlock older devices is bad for htc marketing and will decrease the selling on they new devices) is true.

And while i do not know, perhaps there not unlocking older phones because logistically they can't, i mean can it be done with a simple downloadable software upgrade? or would they need to modify each phone individually, and if so who in there right mind would expect them to do that?

HTC have said they will stop locking the boot loaders and if that is the case they deserve credit for that, at least they do listen to there customers, many others are to arrogant to.

my respect for HTC has been restored.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Mostly it can be done with an ota update. Because they had their signature. Im not 100% sure of it.

Or atleast, it can be done by some extra software provided by them. But if they wish to unlock wildfire, then definitely it will not be a harder process for them. And moreover it will not take much time also for them to unlock.

It is more of a decision to unlock than the process to unlock.
[Wildfire General] anonimo95:
I think if they want it , they ll do it. They have their own signature , so there ll not be any problem
[Wildfire General] egodemis:
the only thing the mast do it's to compile a new ota update with new(some in act) bootloader without htc signature (unsigned bootloader)

5 minutes job for every locked phone:)

and is bad for htc to unlock old phone bevause with unlocked phone i will install a latest rom i will overclock and more and i will have this phone perhap for one more year.... the other if the old devices remain locked i will need to buy another device to meet my requirements.....

but htc made a one mistake in all situation yes i will buy a new phone... but no a htc phone... does not respect the consumer with policy to "leave older devices locked"

(soz again for bad english)
[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
As the mather of fact, I beleve that they can just release the encription key they they use to sign there ROMs, making it posible to "sign" our own ROMs. So then they don't even have to modify every bootloader so that it doesn't check the signature.

But I don't blame htc for not doing it. They have already gained my respect by changing there policy so quickly (but perhaps even that was there intension the whole time: making us think that we forced something while it was already decided :-p), but a really don't expect them to do something that would cut in there fingers like that :-)

But who knows, I didn't thought it would be possible to force htc' policy change so fast in the first place, so I do not realy have any rights to speak :-)
[Wildfire General] bx19:
I think we can expect them to release their signature/encryption key if they no longer use the signature check process in the upcoming devices. And if they need signature for any other things in upcoming devices they will have to create another signature increasing the encryption. And if signature is released mostly it helps to flash custom recovery only, i expect (don't know if custom recovery is flashed in this way with S-ON is the device rooted or not ?. I think not ). And here engineering the HBOOT is again risky (possibility of brick).

But eventhough i agree its not fair to ask htc for signature. And even if we attempt to ask them the signature, it is really a tougher job. I think almost impossible. And probably they might not be doing it because if it was released, everyone tries to do experiments using it and bricking their phones ultimately gathering all the phones at their service centers.
[Wildfire General] kjeerik:
I just know from how I see it.

I bought a wildfire a cheap model to see what HTC was all about. It was my first android phone too. So I was wondering what I could do with it.

Heared a lot of interesting statements from others that had HTC phones.

Then I wanted to do a little more with my phone. change how it looks and so on. Guess what I could not.

This results in HTC failing to convince me to buy another model in the fututre as I know what I want to do can be done if I buy another brand.

So keeping the older bootloaders locked = no future sales for HTC going my way.

So keeping older bootloaders locked will in fackt not increase sales on fututre phones.
[Wildfire General] Lynrax:
my friend didnt buy a htc only because the bootloader was locket.

so i thinnk it actually will increase sales

[Android Themes] iSiktir:
Which ROM do u use?

Did you upload your ROM's framework? It's the safest way to obtain correct zip.

Just follow the instructions - http://uot.dakra.lt/how_to/ - and make a backup before applying any changes!
[Android Themes] kkq29:
i use froyo real froyo , i use samsung gt-s5570 ,yes i did it,first i uploaded my framework to http://uot.dakra.it and followed it.the file was zip,then i extracted it.i moved the framework.apk to my sd card,then i copy paste to system/framework by root explorer,when reboot my device was stuck on the logo , so how ? thx b4 (:
[Android Themes] iSiktir:
WTF?!

Did u've read the instructions:

Is your phone rooted?

U have to have recovery and then u have to flash the zip through it!
[Android Themes] kevin2516:
How to change the colour of the status bar? :rolleyes:

THis is probably a stupid question, but where do you put videos on the sd card? I tried making a videos folder and it says file not supported... Can you not put videos on off computer?
[Verizon Droid Charge] yyhd:
Hey guys, I was looking around in the Charge forums and I couldn't figure out how I can remove root. Would I use adb to remove?

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

rm /system/xbin/busybox

rm /system/xbin/su

Is that correct?

I am asking because I am having problems charging my Charge. The mini-USB female connection on my phone seems to be loose. I want to bring it back to Verizon and get it exchanged for a new one.

does someone was able to sync apps from phone with Appbrain? me not! any hint? thanks in advance
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marygladys:
I got it to work...

So, I installed Appbrain on both my Evo and Flyer under the same email address. Sync both devices to Appbrain.

When i log on to appbrain.com, both the Flyer and Evo are listed as my devices. I click on my Evo and place checkmarks next to all the apps I want to copy over to my Flyer.

Then, I click on Add to List and select my My Flyer.

Once done, sync your Flyer to Appbrain and presto! You can execute your installs. Mind you, if the app cannot run on this version of Android, it will not install nor show up in your list for the Flyer.

Did you properly sign in on AppBrain in the app first? Are you using the default browser (some alternative browsers cannot handle the Android intent model properly and prevent you from signing in).

[LG Optimus 2x] shaunm1989:
We regret having to announce that the software version expected by the end of the month - in order to solve the instability problems alleged by some customers - has been postponed for several weeks. Troubleshooting is taking longer than expected because of the systematic nature of the anomalies reported, involving only a part of owners of LG Dual Optimus. Many customers have found the solution to instability in fact known (and reset the product off the phone is charging) with the upgrade to version V10b, we recommend that in any case to make. We also recommend that you reset the product to the factory settings using the menu "Privacy" after the upgrade.

However, we are aware of the hardships that some of you are trying with our product. All resources are stretched to the limit of LG to release a best software as soon as possible, but at present we have to move the deadline for issuing the second half of June. We will do everything possible to bring forward this date. We apologize again with all of you who have given us confidence when you buy LG Dual Optimus.

More news on the software release will be released on the official media, or the Facebook fanpage "LG in the Box" and "Italy LG - Life's Good" and the official blog LGBlog.it.

If You guys think than LG support is crap go and have a read what people say about Sony Ericsson support or Samsung, and belive me or not LG is not so bad because, even if they postpone the update they said nice and clear: they are up to date and they know the problem is still hire for some people after last update, they try fix this, personally i have no problem with my phone i have 3 rebots just after update to 10d but when i perform a hard reset all back to normal, and no problem so far.

Yea, I wait for gingerbread too, but it's not so hard to wait, if you've got a working phone with no problems. I believe the update will come (hopefully in June).

Hi, I have an LG Optimus C for Cricket wireless phone. I rooted it using gingerbreak, worked great, but then I did not know what I was doing and installed ROM Manager and installed cyanogen7 mod with ROM Manager. Once Cyanogen7 installed onto my device I ran it and my phone restarted. However it now wont startup. It stays frozen at the LG logo. I tried connecting it to my laptop- my laptop does not read it, tried pressing the home key, down arrow, and on button for emergency mode- no response. Nothing thus far has worked.

My computer does tho read, in the device page (Windows 7), LGE Bluetooth TransPort and LGE Virtual Modem. Thus far I havent found anything that could revive my phone using these.

If there are any tips to help recover my phone I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
