Question on unlocking bootloader for Droid Incredible II.

Hello HTC,

I currently own a Droid Incredible and am considering purchasing and Incredible II. I am waiting to hear if you will include a way to unlock the bootloader at some point. A statement from HTC will go a long way in helping me decide on my next phone purchase...

Sincerely,

Scott
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Unfortunately HTC will see you as a potential customer of a future device in this case. They will likely push you to a device that will be unlocked rather than a device that likely will not be. I'm not saying don't try it, just that you should expect that kind of response.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] timmay2t:
Sent mine, i'll post the response when i recieve it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rm2011:
Let's hope we can get something started here. Here's the direct link to the email support page to make it that much easier for those of you that haven't sent one yet. If everyone that viewed this thread sent an email, it will surely make some difference...? Maybe?

http://www.htc.com/us/support/e-mail
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr. Clown:
Why posting here in development?.

Thread moved.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rm2011:
Because its the developers that need the bootloader unlocked. I thought I was making a contribution to the development of the phone.

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] romma1:
I did specifically state that I wanted the Dinc II.. We'll see. If anything, HTC that we mean business with all of their devices.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] timmay2t:
I put in my email that i hadn't yet upgraded but i would likely switch to a different brand because thunderbolt was too big for me.

Guess what i got back? The exact same email that you did, word for word.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brocksdad:
I think that if you send them a email with the word bootloader in it, you will get the same response. I sent one earlier today and I also have the same reply, word for word.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
I think if we keep asking them to make their policy retroactive for all previously locked phones, they might give an official statement that they're releasing the update for all the phones, similar to how the fans got them to stop locking the bootloader.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] asmallmammal:
i got a response from HTC that appeared to be a little more personalized:

"At this point in time, we don't have any information on if and how existing locked bootloaders will be unlocked (although I, for one, will be surprized if we just leave them as-is)."

Take that for whatever it may be worth...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mountaineerndixie:
I like your response best, mammal!

I would be surprised if they weren't working on it now. They did it for the sensation and the DInc2 was the phone that really started the natives grumbling, so... It's a race Between hackers and htc. I would love an official, safe unlock but...

Hey!

I wanted everyone to know what happens if you flash darky 10.1 if you have Froyo and you didn't flash JVH, so you don't blame bad rom :)

Failure list:

- Does not launch recovery (this is bad)

- Phone call crashes prox. in 5-10 seconds

- Some videostream crashes

- Casual .apk crashes

- Music player boots phone when screen shutdown

- Videoplayer crashes when you try to chance video

- reboot and startup is really slow and some screenflickering. Also weird colorpixels.

There are some bad problems I had, after flashing 10.1 without JVH

Also I have question. Cause I can't get to recovery, can I fix this with Odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RorixRebel:
and why on earth would you try to flash darky's without a JVH based rom....

just sayin' :)

thats why you MUST READ the instructions before flashing stuff
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anamorphica:
I was young and stupid. They say: if you don't try, you won't learn: D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ImraanK:
Why jvh? Surely any gb bootloader will do
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Aljosko:
I wanted to try this also :D

Nice review
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tenbeau:
Thanks for the great review. I have been considering purchasing a Sensation to go with my G2X. AFter reading a lot of reviews I had decided against it. After reading your review I am back on the fence again as to whether to buy it off contract or not.lol Would be interested in your findings after about a week . Once again thanks for posting an honest objective review!!!!!:):)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Have you tried the death grip on this? Supposedly covering the back of the phone with your palm kills all the radio signals.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
Yeah I've tried to replicate it but really couldn't. Now if I deliberately cover the phone in a way to intentionally block the signal then yeah you can lose signal, but of course that is true on every phone lol. I think whoever decided that to be an "issue" might have been someone just looking to fine problems, because I don't see any way possible you could unintentionally do that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I don't actually believe you can do it with every phone to the same extent. Like the iPhone 4 with the Sensation, your skin comes into direct contact with the antenna (or at least the cover which houses it) which causes MORE attenuation then say the G2X.

In the G2X the antenna is inside the phone and then there's a battery cover between it and your hands so your skin/hands NEVER touch the antenna. With the Sensation your fingers touch the antenna (exact issue as iPhone 4) so it will cause a disruption to your signal greater than the G2X.

Even if I cover my G2X completely with a deathgrip I don't see anything close to the results that gsmarena video shows. Not saying this is a dealbreaker but don't fool yourself to say this isn't a possible problem depending on how you hold your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
The Sensation death grip is supposedly only for WiFi and Bluetooth (the two holes near the camera). Every report I've seen indicates the cell radio is not impacted...at least that is my understanding.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Well now it's a deathgrip thread. Wack.

Great review.

Gotta say I did like the sensation. It's a tad heavier then the g2x and I really liked that.

I only got to play with one for a minute but I loved the screen. I think it's got a really nice screen.

I did notice lag. The app drawer did have a slight delay before it would open.

Not a the fade out effect it does. Also the weather app was nice. Really like that.

But my g2x is faster.

Really that's all. The g2x is just as nice feeling.

Now the kicker.

I would just use adw ex on either phone. And I love the speed of the g2x.

Either phone would make me happy. But until I get gingerbread on my g2x is can't give an honest opinion.

Because my g2x is faster on 2.2. Has no issues but screen bleed. That never bothers me

So when 2.3 drops.

I was actually looking at the evo 3d now.

I may have to check it out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hoggles:
I would think even if the death grip exists, the vast majority of superphone owners use a protective case, so that should really never be a major issue.

To the OP.... thanks a BUNCH for your real world comparison! That's exactly the kind of info I needed. I'll still be within my exchange window when the Sensation hits T-Mo stores on the 15th and I'm still undecided if I want to return my G2X. The screen size and resolution of the Sensation is very appealing to me :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordIzod:
I don't know, I'm hearing that there are quite a few problems with the Sensation. A buddy of mine got one yesterday and his is locking up and randomly rebooting on him. He's had problems with the GPS locking on and also says the audio leaves a lot to be desired.

Also, if you go to the Sensation forum here on XDA you can see that people are reporting various problems. One that concerns me is several people are reporting that dust particles are getting in behind their screens. That's not cool at all...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Here's a direct comparison against the SGS2. The phone signal is effected but not to the degree Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are. You'll need to use Google Translate.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
What's your definition of "natively?" From the Bluetooth headset without an intermediate app like Google Voice?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
I mean without the need for a 3rd party app (such as Vlingo).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I still don't understand. So, you push the connectivity button on your headset, what do you want to happen?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
Basically what I expect it to do is go into the bluetooth voice dialing prompt (like it does on the G2X). I don't really want to have to use Vlingo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kdog808:
hows the wifi calling
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nucentury08:
Im good with my G2X I need a Gyroscope for future gaming and 1 gig rom wont cut it and I hate quadrant on the snapdragon but sensation is a great device but so many hardware woes no Gyroscope people keep not pointing out witch is on the iPhone 4 and galaxy s 2 and LG 2X only.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Someone posted the fix. That's why I didn't understand what you were trying to do. Kind of stupid on HTC's part.

Having left T-mo with a MT4G to go to *SpRent with the EVO4G and now back with the Mo I was looking for a HTC-ish device. The G2x was the common ground I decided on. I still own 2 Evo4g's (hustler plug) and have been waiting for this Sensation of a deal for T-Mo. Your review seems legit and non biased. Would like to hear what happens within a month of usage though.

"Y a month?" because within in that time, to me, you will have done what ever type of testing (unknowingly) there is to do with the device repeatedly in the many environments you frequent. And been able to post its abilities against the G2x under any and all situations you normally face.

See you in the Future
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
I've only used the wifi calling a few times so far, but I will say it's been stable.

In other news: I've noticed that the bluetooth signal strength is not as strong as on the G2X. With my G2X I could put the phone on the charger and go upstairs or go outside and get as far as the driveway. With the Sensation I get about half the range that I was getting with the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
OP you sound very unbiased ,finally someone:) awesome review...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seanathan:
Thanks for the good review! My biggest concern with the Sensation is the lack of internal memory. I already went through the "1 gig" internal issue with the 4g vibrant. And I have TONS of Apps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
Nice review, I think I gonna stick with g2x til nexus 3/tegra3 phone come out:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Been seeing a lot of people complaining about latency issues and touch screen issues especially with the Sense lock screen. The Sensation is turning out to be just another bug. I really want my wife to have a new phone but I don't want her dealing with all of these bugs. Maybe I will wait on the SGSII.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
I've seen some people report some issues with the screen too, fortunately for me mine has been fine thus far. As for the latency I did experience that too, but I found an easy fix for it and posted it in their forums. So far the feedback from that fix seems to be pretty positive.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I'm seeing more issues with the sensation before fully released than I did with the pre orders if the g2x. Just wait till released, its gonna have s ton of complaints...difference though is htc will update it in a good time...

I actually got one too, didn't want to admit it since I have a few friends who I told I wouldn't get it.lol. Anyways, it locked up on me within a hour and the screen has this wierd line thing when you moved the widgets, but the final straw was dust... Just dont see the sensation being any better. I as well have no g2x issues, I'm golden..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] goldeman:
you have to kind of admit, using both these phones the biggest difference to me is merely screen size. they do absolutely the same thing at pratically the same speed, i mean unless miliseconds matter to you which i know it does to some but if your really that big a fan of 'sense' then obviously youll love the sensation, but most of us on here want to 'hack' the crap out of our phones sense or not... personally i think the advantage goes to g2x because of tegra(which might be a disadvantage to some, i cant see why) and just how the phone feels in hand. either or check out both phones
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
That's pretty much how I feel about it too. I don't think you can really go wrong with either phone. It just depends on what you need/expect out of it. If you're somebody who needs a phone you don't have to worry much about or do too much to, then the Sensation is the better pick. If you like to mod and like the minimalist approach, then the G2X is the better pick. I am still trying to decide which phone I am going to keep and carry me until the Nexus 3 comes along. Thus far I am leaning more and more to the Sensation. So far it has been very stable, and since I found the fix to the latency issue (that I posted in the Sensation forums) I have no issues with it at all. I am very satisfied with the battery life especially when compared to the G2X. HTC stated they will release an update that unlocks the bootloader so there will be custom roms. Then I can still go stock android if I want, or go back to using Sense if I want. Best of both worlds really.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] m918v:
I agree. No doubt that G2X is more powerful, but a buggy device is a buggy device. I'm only exchanging to sensation because I got really frustrated with all the issues with my phone, but I'm really sad because I liked my G2X. I guess I'm just going to gain some and lose some. Milisecond speeds doesn't matter to me. I've gone through all sorts of blackberry's so I'm not new to the loading icon :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
At least to me the hardware is more important than software.

So possible death grip issues and dust under the screen with the sensation is far worse than software bugs on the G2X
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
How did you initiate an exchange for the Sensation?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Isn't LG making the next Nexus 3 phone? I thought I heard a rumor on that somewhere
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
From the rumor mill looks like Google is deciding between LG and HTC
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
I played with the SGS2 and it's a real beast. However, comparing it to the G2x I didn't notice any real world difference. What I like about Samsung these days is they are openly supporting development. They even sent a phone to a developer to get CM7 running on it.

Sense is always going to feel a little slower than stock because they use so many animations. The new Rosie launcher has a 3d like effect so it does slow things down some. However, I think it's a matter of personal preference as to what UI you like. Sense is a love it or hate type of UI, as is touchwiz.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I think the UI is just as fast when comparing the G2X and the GSII but the browser on the GSII is faster due to hardware acceleration.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
I didn't exchange for it. I just purchased the Sensation for the full price. However I will not be keeping it (at least not the one I purchased for full price. Since I have been getting warranty exchanges on my G2X through TMobile, they have to swap me for another phone. But since the Sensation has not officially been released on TMobile yet they can't commit to sending me a Sensation in my G2X's place. So what they did is gave me full upgrade eligibility early so that I can buy another phone in the meantime (still haven't decided if I want to use the upgrade now or wait until the next Nexus phone). But once the Sensation is released I intend on having them swap me my G2X for the Sensation and I will be returning the one I purchased at full cost. Basically I purchased the one at full cost so that I could give it a thorough test drive and see which phone I wanted to carry me to 4th quarter of this year (when the nexus comes out).
[HTC Sensation] HTC-Gunge:
Was just wondering if any Dev was planning to start an AOSP Rom for the sensation? Like Oxygen Rom for the desire.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Once the bootloader is unlocked and we have s-off, somebody most likely will create an AOSP ROM.

Hi,

I am creating these wallpapers and icons for myself based on the LCARS - Star Trek computer terminal. I'm not a pro; part of the reason for doing this was for me to get a basic skill on how to use the "pen" tool, and find my way around GIMP. I will post screen shots and a few wallpapers and if people are interested, I'll release everything (and when I figure out how to do it, I'll actually create a theme).

This is for ADW and works best with ADW EX for selectable docks. For best results, I assume you would need a phone with resolution 480X800. I made this for a 5 col X 5 row setup to give it more design room. I'm pretty sure that you can use this with anything, but unless your device has the same resolution and 5X5 grid, it won't work very well.

Hi,

Firstly, I am a noob when it comes to "messing" with Android (Rom, root, etc.)

My Atirx is running Android 2.2.1, system version 4.1.26

It's from AT&T US, unlocked and rooted.

I got a system message to update to 4.1.57

At some point it just downloaded the update for me and now keeps asking me to install.

I will install of course but before that, I have a few questions:

1) Will it unroot the phone?

2) Will it re-lock the phone?

3) Will I then get the 1.83 update?

If I can simply click "Install" and everything will be alright - great. if not, what do I need to do?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drock212:
It will unroot your phone you will not lose unlock and yes you will be prompted for 1.83. Now if you want to retain root you need to root using gladroot and do not run "afterupdate.bat" until you have updated all the way to 1.83. :) hope that helps

But thats just my 2 cents :)

Sent from my Atrix
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirtburgler:
Another option is to just let it update normally then run gingerbreak. It will re-root the phone and install SU. The above method will work just the same, and both require about the same amount of time and effort.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drock212:
Also with gingerbreak a lot of users have reported complete wipe of their phone after using it. So if gingerbreak is the route you take make sure to backup everything.

But thats just my 2 cents :)

Sent from my Atrix
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
To clarify, Gingerbreak does not wipe the phone, it wipes the internal SDCard.

I would update OTA to 4.1.83, then Gingerbreak for root, then Gladenable for sideloading, and install Tenfars CWM.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeycohen:
lost

ok, now you really lost me

is there somewhere I can find a "for dummies" guide on how to get my phone to 1.83 with all my data + keeping it rooted and unlocked, along with download links to whichever tools I will need?

Thanks!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeycohen:
Nothing simpler?

Now that seems scary.

I want to keep the phone without custom ROMs for now

Can't I just use the auto system updates to get up to 1.83 and then root with SOC or GladRoot?

Thanks, and sorry for being difficult. I just REALLY dont wanna mess up the phone
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
You sure can.

OTA to 4.1.83, then use Gingerbreak to root.

Alternatively, if you want to use Gladroot so you don't wipe your internal SDCard, (which you can back up anyway by copy/paste everything on your internal SDCard to your PC, then just copy/paste it all back after), then you will have to start the Gladroot process before updating to 4.1.83 per the instructions.

DO NOT use SuperOneClick..............it doesn't work with 4.1.57 or 4.1.83.
