Mines showing the exact same thing, something strange going on here because it still takes my token on the HTCDev site.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Urban Strata:
Hi all,

Please expect an official statement from HTC on this tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest!

Thanks,

Jeff

Edit 7/18 with official HTC statement:

"HTC is committed to listening to users and delivering customer satisfaction. Since announcing our commitment to unlockable bootloaders, HTC has worked to enable our customers to unlock the bootloader on more than 45 devices over the past six months. In some cases, however, restrictions prevent certain devices from participating in our bootloader unlocking program. Rest assured, HTC is committed to assisting developers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices and we'll continue to unlock additional devices in the future."
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Hey thanks for your reply on this Jeff. Unfortunately this must be really bad for HTC owners. :( Official statements are hardly ever good for the end user experience.

Big Red...shame on you.

I believe it'll go something like this:

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] con247:
If this is gonna happen, please people who have been able to unlock please save your tokens. We might be able to do some hacks like the AT&T one x where you can use someone else's token.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Still have mine.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
Got mine still. :)

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceWilly:
Would a change in the HTC website be the change that is making new unlocks not possible? I hadn't yet unlocked mine so I don't know the exact steps to obtaining the token, and thus don't know if this would be where the change happens.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] coffeedragon:
I unlocked mine Sunday without incident. I've got both tokens saved, if any of the devs end up needing them just PM/email me.

So far just stock and rooted. The phone runs great out of the box after you disable all the bloat. Only two annoying things are the GPS icon and that farking Wifi icon that's there only to remind me that I have my Wifi turned off. WTF? Anyone know how to get rid of those stupid things without flashing a whole new ROM?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceWilly:
Will unlocking throw up "tampered" messages immediately and irreversibly? I have the screen yellowing issue, but I want to unlock the bootloader now if the door will be closing (if it already hasn't) But if I bring the phone back or swap it for a non yellowed screen then I don't want to be screwed.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Yes, the unlocking process puts the *tampered* on the bootloader screen. Even relocking the phone and running the RUU file does not remove the *tampered* from your bootloader. It is irreversible until we can get S-Off.

Yes to this as well. HTC has configured the tool to not work for our tokens. Although I believe we have something else being worked on in the wings. This is why we want everyone who has used the tool before it was locked down, to save their Unlock_Code.bin files so we can hopefully build a tool that allows you to use someone elses unlock code.

Basically the unlock procedure works like this...

Use the ADB tool to query your phone for a token (which is specific to each phone). Then input that token into the HTCDev tool and it emails you an unlock code as mentioned above. That code file is then put into your fastboot folder (where ADB runs from) and you send your phone the unlock command and it uses that file to unlock you.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceWilly:
I guess what I wasn't realizing is that the token system was an HTC provided thing. I thought it was all off the grid and being done without HTC's blessing. Now it makes sense.

Also thanks for the clarification about the tampering. I will be keeping it stock until I sort through the yellowing issues.

anyone else tried it today yet
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
Yeah, same issue still. I don't think they're going to just allow it all-of-a-sudden, more than likely they've permanently disabled new unlocks. :(
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] hasoon2000:

you know there is a conspiracy to this somehow.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
id say a good outlet for frustrations is going here: http://htcdev.com/contact

selecting bootloader unlock and telling them that you and several people you know will return the device in favor of "insert other oem" if you cannot unlock the inc 4g.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Are you 100% sure of that statement? Because the tampered value is based on a hash check of the system partition, and after running the RUU, the hash check would pass, because it's the original image. It also shouldn't be affected by unlocking the phone as well, because that doesn't modify the system image. It should just set the top banner to ***UNLOCKED***
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] hasoon2000:
It is correct. I've restored my phone, sensation and wildfire S back to the factory RUU and it will say Relocked.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
since you seem to be amongst the evo lte braintrust, any idea who to reach out to about potentially working on lazypanda s-off for the inc 4g?

i saw they have an irc channel, but the topic basically says if you ask for info on future work you ll get banned :eek: so that didnt seem like an outlet for questions
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] CaptainRewind:
I read in the Q&A section that somebody was able to use the same unlock_code.bin to unlock two different HTC One X devices. Madmoose/anyone - if I send you my email address via PM, mind sending me yours so I can try it? It probably won't work, but can't hurt to try.

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
That won't work. We actually modified 6 partitions to the same serial number and other values, then used the unlock_code.bin that was created based on those values, so basically everyone had the "same" phone, then reverted the partitions again the the original ones
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] kinnythebandit:
Darn, looks like I just missed it. I will be closely following the developments to see what happens. I'd really like to be able to get all this on my phone.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
Still waiting for their official statement. But yeah, one way or another we should be able to unlock fairly soon...even if I have to bribe people. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] con247:
That should work with this device if perma root is made w/o dev unlock. Once I get my test device I would love your help with this.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] zackiv31:
So what does this mean? I'm not familiar with the One X restriction.

I luckily got my Dinc4G unlocked last week while it was still working. Is this them saying that they will no longer be unlocking Dinc4G's on Verizon?

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] hasoon2000:
Nah. HTC made a commitment to unlock bootloaders for an open sourced device and Verizon blocked it from happening. While the device is not exclusive to Verizon, Verizon has no right to restrict a device from being modified.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
one good thing, you did a bang up job on that toolkit, haha, i'd sure love to try it out, if ya know what i mean

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
i guess, one of the developers(con427) is waiting on the device, once he gets it, he may be able to do something, we all hope.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dougpara:
only hope

I feel like an idiot for getting this phone now and I can't swap it ... ugh!

youtube.com [slash] watch?v=xIFJLMyUwrg
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] samstein66:
So shady of HTC (VZW) to do things this way.

If they were going to decide not to unlock it, they should have just announced it as a locked phone prior to its initial on-sale date so folks wouldn't be out there buying a phone they expected to be able to unlock on day 1. OR, they should at least show some respect for their enthusiastic early purchasers and continue to unlock any devices purchased by yesterday or today when they finally made their statement about the phone.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceWilly:
Does this fact really make workarounds that difficult/impossible? I'm not intimate with Android dev processes, but is this type of situation a headshot for the future development of the phone? I know at least with Iphone stuff no matter the issue someone eventually always found a way.

Really kicking myself for not unlocking earlier, but this stupid screen yellowing issue hung me up.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
The hang up really comes down to having a dev with the ability to find an exploit or workaround. This wasn't a heavily advertised phone at launch and the timing of the data contract changes really puts a damper on the amount of people/devs that have the phone. Really what it comes down to is getting a phone into the hands of someone that is willing to take the time to figure out an exploit. Con247 currently has the phone, but hacking an exploit isn't his forte. I'm still actively working on getting the phone to someone with that hacking experience. It'll come with time. Unfortunately, that doesn't do much for those that want a workaround immediately.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
i think the best move longterm would be one of the lazypand s-off guys in hopes they can work on it...but i really wouldnt know who would the point guy on that...maybe fuses?: http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=4519372

i do agree with the poor timing on the phone....numerous devs and end users were considering it prior to share plans but the late release killed it

i think when its all said and done in say september/october this phones popularity will pick up like the inc2 did a bit later on when its officially dropped by vzw under $100 on contract and it makes the rounds on ebay/cl...etc
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dougpara:
If it is a matter of getting the handset in the hands of someone willing/capable, can't we all contribute to a joint purchase of full retail non-contract phone if we can find someone willing/able. I would be happy to contribute a good chunk.

Anyone know who might be willing/able to do it in return for a free phone? Anyone else willing to contribute?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
sure i will
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MadLinx:
I will too
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] zackiv31:
I already have mine rooted.. but I know I'll break it soon...

I would be down to donate to the cause.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dougpara:
Ok. So question #2 is does anyone know how we identify someone who would be willing/able to do it. Think we could get the $ for the handset.

Maybe one of the senior members on here could chime in as I am a noob.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
Discussion of creating a donation drive to buy a certain developer an off-contract Inc 4G took place a few days ago in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766686&page=6

Granted, this is for a different issue (that was for an AOSP based ROM, this is for unlocking a device--the latter is much more difficult than the former), but the same cautions apply. Doing a donation drive to buy a developer an Inc 4G to get it unlocked is not out of the question, but it needs to be done cautiously and the recipient of the device needs to be chosen wisely. Community-funded purchases of devices for developers have derailed entire device communities, and many reputable developers may decline because they are uncomfortable with the expectations associated with community funding.

That being said, if you can find a person who's willing and reputable and if you're willing to accept the risk that the developer may not be able to deliver unlock despite receiving the phone, go ahead. I'd love to see us manage to stick it to Verizon and get this unlocked.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ryzilla23:
i know i'm late to the party, having got the phone a couple day ago... but does this mean no root for new phone for the time being?

Since samsung is being allowed to sell a devoloper edition of the vzw sg3 (also locked, and the only version), I don't see why htc can't allow unlocking of the bootloaders.
