othis is last post on fb from htc about bootloader

**UPDATE 7/10**

We wanted to provide an update on HTC’s progress with bringing bootloader unlocking to our newest phones. We know how excited some of you are for this capability, and we’ve put significant resources behind making this change as soon as possible. While we wish we could flip a simple switch and unlock all bootloaders across our device portfolio, this is actually a complex challenge that requires a new software build and extensive testing to deliver the best possible customer experience.

We’re thrilled to announce today that software updates to support bootloader unlocking will begin rolling out in August for the global HTC Sensation, followed by the HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA and the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint. We’re in the testing phase for the unlocking capability now, and we expect it to be fully operational by early September for devices that have received the software updates. We'll continue rolling out the unlocking capability over time to other devices as part of maintenance releases and new shipments.

HTC continues its commitment to unlocking bootloaders and supporting the developer community. Because of the importance of this community to us, please expect an update on this about every few weeks as we make progress toward launch. Thank you for your patience and continued support!

My support issue with HTC

Q1: When will (as announced on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/HTC/posts/10150307320018084) the bootloader for the "HTC Desire S" be unlocked?

A1 (HTC): Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your mobile phone HTC Desire S.

I understand that you wish to know when the bootloader will be unlocked.

Regarding your query our last official communicates says: We are currently developing new bootloader unlocked software for your phone. HTC is still committed to allowing our customers to unlock the bootloaders if they wish, however we are still implementing the policy and many updates were already finalized prior to our change in policy. We apologize for the inconvenience, but be assured that we are working on a solution for our customers and our commitment has not changed. Please stay tuned to our official channels for ongoing updates on how we will be implementing this policy. Thank you for your patience.

Q2: What is the ETA? Are we talking weeks, months or years until the bootloader can be unlocked. Can you say that the "Desire S" will receive a unlocked bootloader 100%?

A2 (HTC): Thank you for contacting us again. Unfortunately there isn't further information regarding which phones and when is going to be done. For fresher news on this I suggest to check often our page in Facebook. I hope that this information meets with your requirements, should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us again. If this response has resolved your query, and you have no further questions please close this ticket by following the link below.

Q3: Hi, is it possible to get any kind of commitment from you if and when your phones will get the unlocked bootloaders. As for now the whole hype is just a marketing activity as there is not a single HTC model with unlocked bootloader available. Look at SonyEricsson for example, they not just announced the unlocked bootloaders, they also published a seperate webpage where you can get the necessary software/downloads: http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/. Hope that HTC is able to show the same commitement to their announcements!

A3 (HTC): Thank you for contacting HTC regarding Desire S.

HTC is a forward thinking company and appreciates any feedback received from its customers; your comments have been passed to the appropriate department for consideration.

Should you have any further feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Thank you for contacting HTC Support

I myself unlocked with AlpharevX and i am now a happy Virtuous Unity user :D
[HTC Desire S] spagmuff:
I have again spoken to another guy on chat. He said the following:

"At the moment it is only the Sensation and the Desire S"

I really hope this is true. I also have an ass service provider (Vodafone) which will probably block the update from coming through.
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
Hi

Do you mean rooted, but with stock? I thought superuser was for rooted only?
[HTC Desire S] spagmuff:
You can have superuser with stock.
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
The superuser app in the Market says not so -quote "This app requires that you already have root"
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I believe that sensation and evo 3d the flag ship devices will get the boot loader un lock first and before the DS
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Haha, classic piece of corporate bull**** :D

They may do it, indeed looks very likely, but thinks alex has the right way of thinking - alpharevx :cool:

Peace
[HTC Desire S] spagmuff:
True, He didn't mention the EVO 3D, as this was in the UK. We don't have it (unfortunately) Maybe they are planning to unlock the flagships, then the "S" series, as these are relatively new and popular.
[HTC Desire S] JasonTJC:
By the time HTC unlock the phone i think almost everyone unlock using alpharevx :P
[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
alpharevx rules! who is waiting for HTC to act?
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
+1 I am satisfied with it as is for nw...
[HTC Desire S] jepe63:
I've got a 0.98.2000 bootloader so i'll wait for Alpharevx to unlock these to....:D
[HTC Desire S] looktall:
me too.

unless htc unlocks it first.

it's so frustrating. i only want root so that i can remove the bloatware from my telco.

i'm quite happy with the rom otherwise.
[HTC Desire S] jepe63:
Yep , same here , except to remove vodafone sh**t

(and maybe flash rom but not decided yet :confused:)
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
Hmmm so one can use superuser to block ads?

Interesting

As per htc delaying on releasing bootloaders ....they can wait forever for all I care...thanks to alpharevx am S-off n rooted

Just thinking of which custom rom to try.....any suggestions?
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
To be honest, don't think there's a great deal of variety atm. All the stable ROMs are based on variations of HTC Sense, and there's not that many of them...

There is development on-going with CM7, MIUI, etc, which provide a different user experience to Sense, once they are more stable think they'll be very promising.

Peace
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I personally love LBC Mod, fast, solid stable and has the sense look that I like

although virtuous unity sense 3 look is also nice and as said above by chris the new CM7 is looking very good, if you want light weight no sense.
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
Since all roms are currently htc sense based I will just wait for CM7
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
Guys

Is there any need installing the new EXT4 RC? I already have clockwork Mod on my device

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Firstly not all roms are sense basedc there is a new CM7 making great progress on the last few days see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1166867

And secondly I would personally recommend the new ExT4 recovery (it's based on CWM), easy to use, works fine and is updated very often
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
Do I have to uninstall CWM first or just install Ext4?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Boot into recovery and then simply Use CWM to flash EXT4
[HTC Desire S] sharper00:
I'm really glad I'm not relying on HTC for this anymore.
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
So we're looking at stable no nonsense Sense or unstable non Sense? Glad that's cleared up then ... :D
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
Thanks.

Pls can you drop a link to where i can get the latest EXT4?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
never mind

found it

thanks
[HTC Desire S] x8h8kenan:
Don't need it. My device has already been unlocked by xtc-clip.

Dear Developers,

I had flashed the new Synergy Rom RC1 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144447) which I admired and like it very much, since I like the Sence Ui. I have a small request from this rom developers, please I need support for RTL (Right To Left) languages support like Arabic and Hebrew languages, I successfully patched this method, (http://blog.devasque.com/?page_id=11) which successfully added the arabic fonts and now I can send sms in arabic and the RTL is correct there, what is missing is the RTL support for Gmail messages (Subjects+Message Detail) and the Browser, only opera browser can support RTL at this time, There is a source-code that the same blog above referred to and this code is used to fix the RTL issue in libwebcore.so this is a link to it (https://github.com/Y6b/android_external_webkit/commit/8637f8f6b8f78aef69a1a1919c9df54358513706). What my request is can any one of the developers look at the code in the link and the ability to include it in the source-code of synergy so it can support Arabic and Hebrew without problem. by the way cyanogen mode supports these languages perfectly, but I dont like cyanogen I like synergy and hope the developers can do something about it.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
There is no need to make a new thread for this. Just post your request in the thread for that rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serial70:
In order to post in the Android Development section of this forum, you must have 10 posts in other areas. Since the OP had 3 posts, he is unable to post in the Android Development section.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] and_droid:
Thanks appreciate
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Then maybe he should get 10 posts first. The whole point of that is so new members can get to know other parts and people on the forum first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serial70:
This is my point. Read this thread from the beginning, your first reply was asking why this question wasn't posted on the ROM thread in the Development section of the forum. I was explaining the reason. If he has a legitimate question and can't ask it where it needs to be asked, why not put it in the Q&A area? You do understand what the "Q" part of Q&A stands for, right? The OP is new to the forum and has a question. I feel its valid that this is brought up here since he can't address the issue in any other location.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
I would also suggesting pming..

Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] and_droid:
Thanks Everybody, I really appreciate your understanding
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommytomatoe:
With the method that was used to accomplish the language removal (aamikam optimization) it would be difficult to go back in and replace all the language packs in all the apk. If you want the language package back I would ask aamikam for the unoptimized version. If he feels Luke it he will give it to you. :-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] and_droid:

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to ask, since Lulz Kernel by Tegrak now supports clockworkmod recovery (from build 8), has anyone been using it with VillainRom 2.0?

Any issues, etc.?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
If I get home, I will flash this kernel:). If until then no one posts in this thread, I will post how it worked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrangePL:
Ok, good luck :-)

BTW, can you also check whether this kernel gives you root?

I know that Tegrak Kernel does, but the posting wasn't too specific on the Lulz variant.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxz0O0:
No sorry I can not test as I already have root (now Chainfire Root Kernel KE2 installed). But I think you get root if the Tegrak kernel is included:

Lulz-Kernel-Build-8-for-I9100-XXKG1.tar
*includes Tegrak Kernel Build 25
*includes XXKG1 initramfs

Edit: Now there is Chainfire Root Kernel KG1 out, so I don't flash this kernel sorry :(.

hi all, i am trying to go from miui back to apex, but captivate gingerbread bootloaders refuse to flash, everytime i try, i consistantly get a soft brick, its driving me nuts! where can i find the i9000 bootloaders/what is causing this?

Thanks!

[LG Optimus 2x] dieterhaack:
Hi,

I want to update firmware downloaded from LG using the KDZ Updater (No, not smartflash because I can't get those 1N1_Internet_AG Branding file for it). HowTo here. My question before bricking the phone is, which type do I have to set in KDZ_FW_UPD.exe for Optimus 2x?

Thank you,

d.
[LG Optimus 2x] bedevil99:
Don't forget to install the msi file in the KDZ updater folder and you are good to go. You might have to do a factory reset (power on + volume down) if you are stuck in a boot loop.
[LG Optimus 2x] dieterhaack:
Thank you, both dragon-tmd and bedevil99.

MoDaCo did some renovation work. The new link seems to be here.

The other instructions I've read first did not mention that it's necessary to change phone settings to USB-Debugging and to boot into S/W Upgrade Mode - and I'm on XP Pro SP3. Settings KDZ_FW_UPD.exe Type: CDMA, Phone Mode: DIAG.

Flashing worked using these settings.

[Galaxy S II General] borchgrevink:
Is this possible on a sgs2? Just want to freeze some apps, and then back to normal.
[Galaxy S II General] tjjensen23:
just flash the kernel. takes like 2 seconds
[Galaxy S II General] borchgrevink:
Would like to stay on stock kernel if possible.
[Galaxy S II General] zxz0O0:
No it's not.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
If your trying to keep warranty the answer is no. Even though the custom kernal count adds, you can easily reset this.

If not just flash insecure kernel, root, then flash stock kernal. Its only a 1min process.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zombiac:
Cool deal I wish this would finish uploading btw do you need to partition or make

a separate living space for fedora or just run it basically like a live cd.

Sorry for the questions just want a little more detail as to what all I need to do

to make this work without having to fully format and reinstall everything on my

phone in case I want to delete it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:
Good questions are not a problem :D

To chroot into Fedora I've created a script that mounts the filesystem image (no extra partitions required, you just need enough space - 1.5GB - on your sdcard). I had to stop uploading because I found a few errors and I want it to be decently usable for you guys!

I'm nearly finished with some stuff I'm adding. Then, I'll upload. Hopefully, I can also upload a compressed archive of this stuff (probably first on my list).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zombiac:
Ok that sounds great if you need some help I can upload to a mirror after you get

them uploaded I've got decent speeds and it shouldn't take that long.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:
Once I get it uploaded it shouldn't be a problem. The server is co-located in Germany with pretty high bandwidth but mirrors are always a plus :P

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
So... Who made this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:
I did..... I took a minimally compiled rootfs from http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/ and made some boot scripts based on the bootubuntu for android going around and installed a bunch of stuff including a desktop environment then I re-imaged it and made it have more free-space (sadly enough most of it's being used now and my sdcard is only 2GB so I can't make it larger for myself - but I will post steps to increase the size of the image file)!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:
I'm currently uploading the files! (there are red "this" indicators until it's done)

http://anonymouslyacquired.info/fedoraonsgs4g/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zombiac:
I'm guessing bootfedora should be saved as bootfedora.sh right otherwise it tries

to save it as a text file.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:
No not at all. It should be a "text" file, and my script won't work if you change any filenames or and an extension such as ".sh"
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
dumb question but, um, what exactly is fedora?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Zombiac:
Linux open source software with a desktop graphic user interface.

Basically look at your windows desktop and think man I wish this was a billion times better and then you get fedora.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
I would provided that I wasn't running a mac. so what do you don on it
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nstod:
I should probably just try it, but how does this work? Is it essentially running in a VM? To get out of Fedora do you just reboot your phone? Do you get access to all of Android's partitions? Sorry for the noob questions. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:
Not home right now but I'm assuming the uploads are done and the automated script to turn the "this" green didn't work. Feel free to try the downloads on the download page!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Nope, still red. Been wanting to try this too.

The only URL not giving a 404 is the oldfedora.img.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:
Oh crud that means my upload stopped and didn't finish uploading oldfedora.img so don't use them. Will get home soon to finish the uploading.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
SCP? Should resume.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:
I did start uploading again but instead I'm putting the 7zip first because its the fastest way to download the full fedora.img

Type "su" first and if it says "bootloader not found" after typing:

"su"

"sh /sdcard/fedora/fedora.sh"

"bootfedora"

then try "sh /sdcard/fedora/bootfedora"

I'm quite positive that will work!

If "su" doesn't work then you're not rooted. Also, if you haven't allowed terminal to use root access yet, it will ask you if you want to allow it. Make sure you press Allow!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:

Is there a need to change the rom or not only thing I've done myself on this phone

No you don't need to change the rom but if you did the last thing I told you to do and it still doesn't work, post the new error message (if it's the same error message you still didn't "su" or you're not rooted correctly)
