EVO 3D shipping with locked down bootloader, but HTC may reconsider policy
Posted in: HTC, mod, Sprint, Today's Chili
We’ve got some good news and some bad news. Let’s do the bad news first: much like the Sensation, Thunderbolt, and Incredible S, Android Police has confirmed that the upcoming HTC EVO 3D will also be sporting a locked down bootloader of similar fashion, meaning custom ROM modders will have a hard time glamming up said phone. Not that anyone should be surprised by this finding though, given the sad trend. That said, there is still hope: earlier today, HTC announced on Facebook that it’s “reviewing the issue and our policy around bootloaders” — looks like someone’s pulled a page out of Sony Ericsson’s good book. If all goes well, we’ll just have to wait and see whether HTC will beat Motorola to making their fans smile again.
