HTC plans to review its locked bootloader policy

Remember that complete locked/signed/encrypted bootloader fiasco that’s been flying around the particular internets in regards to HTC’s future Sensation as well as Evo 3D? It has lead a very vocal number of to completely denounce the actual Taiwanese company as well as incite a mass exodus onto other devices. Particularly, those created by LG that is now staying called “the fresh HTC” by a few in the Android community.



Properly, if you’re buddies with The brand new htc on Facebook, they current their standing today to tackle this issue. Even though, it may not could be seen as much, the at least a good awknowledgement that they are in fact, listening to their particular customers’ feedback. Needless to say, we all know doing something about this is another story.

Last occasion I examined, it was the actual carriers and their iron fists coming down on OEM’s along with forcing these to lock up their particular phones (as well as keep you from unauthorised tethering). And final time My partner and i checked, the actual Android modding community only landed about 2% regarding total Android devices marketed. Pretty small number.
