Several months have passed since the HTC CEO Peter Chou announced that the company no longer block the bootloaders on their devices, and enthusiasts have nothing to show for it. Many of the latest HTC device remains locked tight, prompting many to wonder when they will deliver on their promises. Thanks to the updated post Facebook and timely tweet, however, now we have the answers to the questions we have been waiting for.
This process will begin with a Web tool (due out later this month), through which to register your account and refuse any and all liability in case everything goes horribly wrong. That's right folks, after removal of loader lock gives you much greater control over how the device works, you can kiss parts (or all) of your warranty goodbye. Once this is done by connecting an Android device to the computer with the installed SDK, and you'll get "device ID marker" which gets connected to the Web tool to generate unique unlock code.
Sounds simple enough, right? The first device to use unlocking treatment are the generic version of HTC sense and then buy the T-Mobile version of the device and Sprint Evo 3D. So how to unlock bootloader is one of the first steps to run the custom ROM, and indeed having some fun with Android, it is gratifying to see them focus on getting new hardware opened. Hopefully soon opened the floodgates, and we can start messing with our HTC toys with reckless abandon.
