Petition for UnrEVOked for 2.2.1

I was thinking and I wondered if enough people commented with support maybe UnrEVOked would release 2.2.1 support for Wildfire?
So lets see if it works

It has been talked a lot about donations to make them buy a Wildfire and test. You all could make some deal and donate to support them.
I took the other way and used XTC Clip. Faster.

Even if they don't have a wildfire in their devteam, I'm pretty sure when they get around to it, they will probably, it's not like they couldn't get one.
Just relax, drink a cup of tea and smoke a cigarette and calm down on that topic!

Those guys r really saints..!
But do they develop unrevoked for wildF 2.2.1..????????
AnyWay,
+++++SIGNED

I am waiting.............

I have never seen so much disrespect for other people`s work in my life.
If YOU want it so much, make it yourself, or get an XTC Clip.
If not, stop whining, they will release it when THEY want it, IF they want it.

I think they don't work on it..... I am pretty sure because there are many other phones right now to work on. I didn't want to wait any longer so I bought an xtcclip and it work amazing fast and easy...... but it's a good thing to show respect to the people of unrevoked.... they made good things. So wait long or buy a clip.........

Oh don't be so melodramatic, there is no disrespect its simply a collection of signatures to confirm a healthy need for it, if they decide enough people want the software then they might just make it, a thread like this is simply asking the developers to make it. that is what the forum is for, haven't you noticed?
the logic in your argument suggests that software hacking tools are unnecessary, there in this forum is unnecessary, everyone should just go out and buy expensive hardware, with money they more often then not do not have. whats more not everyone is a software coder. perhaps you think people who require help from those with the know how should just get lost?
your rant here makes no sense.

Asking for help is one thing, whining about it is an entirely different matter.

Rooting?

First of all forgive my naivety. I have just bought a desire z. Could someone tell me the real world benefits of rooting my phone?

Well you can unlock your phone to work with other gsm network. You can load many unique roms like CM7, Sense gingerbread, Miui... Etc.

There is a great article about rooting on androidcentral that was posted about a month ago go read that.

I previously had an HD2 and spent ages with that, flashing new roms etc. I understood the point of that as WM was a pretty poor OS. However with Android I'm not sure if there is any point in real terms.

Thanks for that, have read the article which was very good. I couldn't find any good reason to root my phone, so maybe it's just something that's not for me.

Rooting has lots of great benifits. You can flash amazing OS and experience the full developer experience on your device. Wifi Tether for those who want to shoot Wifi from there phone with no charge. Great customization choices when you pick a ROM that allows it. And you can even increase the value of your phone when resale comes up in the future. The root method is a little complicated but it will be worth it when your done. Better your device for your liking and have fun doing it of course! Hope I helped

Do you think it will help to pool money together to reward an unlocked bootloader?

Thoughts?
I'd certainly donate.

It's an acer thing...i dont think money will help..

should help if we make a list with people that want to donate for the problem might draw a good crowd...

it might help even more to get enough donations together to buy a device to send to a well known developer. usually where the problem lies is that they do npt have money to go and buy another device since they have already invested in other ones. once a really well know developer gets their hands on the device we have is when big things start to happen. you just gotta find one willing to accept the device and hack it.

Yes, it'd be great to have a custom honeycomb rom especially since the source has not and never will be released (until ice cream sandwich, anyway).

I'd be willing to front some clams for the cause...I'd love a good custom ROM. Thats the whole reason I'm keeping my Gtab even though I got my Acer...I like to tinker with stuff and see what happens.

I was thinking about this myself the other day, but I've heard that XDA frowns on this behavior.
I pledge $25 USD to the first dev that unlocks the bootloader.

I actually have a slightly damaged but fully functional A500 that I would be willing to borrow out for a few months before I jave to sent it in for the insurance claim. I even posted the offer right up here with rather unenthusiastic replys.
If anyone knows a suitable candidate, my offer stands.

Htc unlocking bootloader for good!!

‎"There has been overwhelmingly customer feedback that people want access to open bootloaders on HTC phones. I want you to know that we've listened. Today, I'm confirming we will no longer be locking the bootloaders on our devices. Thanks for your passion, support and patience,"

If it true I will thank them and buy their new phone. Money talk more than words.

I think it's quite something. And I know that many people will continue to use HTC only because of unlocked bootloaders.
And even poeple who have no clue what the bootloader is, will hear that HTC is for the customers. This post on the facebook will make a huge marketing job for the HTC, and they deserve it.

The Facebook says "future handsets" I believe. Do you think they would unlock the DHD or is it too late for us ?

We've luckily already unlocked it ourselves. It's just whether they will do the newest handsets like the Sensation

I doubt that they will provide a service to S-OFF phones, but the security measures will surely be very easy to go around. I bet they won't unlock current locked devices like Sensation.

I think they will consider it. I don't think it's a big deal to release an RUU to do so

Tbh i think that this is what they wanted, i mean...lock the bootloader > poeple protesting > htc unlocking > people will see how HTC listen to his customers because in no way you can lock the bootloaders and think that most of the people will agree.
And sensation is kinda crap performance wise qualcomm is really bad.

This is amazing marketing by HTC. By locking the bootloaders, they created a huge controversy. Now they're unlocking it, the dev community breathes a sigh of relief - they gain popularity, respect and most importantly sales.
HTC is a company, they're always going to be about the money. What makes them stand out is that they do that through customer care, a trait which every manufacturer should take.

I can get over Sensation but I hope the GSM version of EVO 3D (if ever this will be a reality) will already have an unlocked bootloader.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App

Well this is good news, may well stick will HTC after all
If they listened to people regarding the bootloader maybe they will listen if we ask for better camera optics, lenses etc and phones that can use extended batteries.
I am taking about the high/er end phones here, of course

Great news Does this mean custom roms, etc, will still void your warranty? Are there any 'legitimate' uses of unlocked bootloaders (aside from custom roms)?

The statement does say "future handsets". This is the official HTC statement:

Also, you can unlock the DHD using the instructions here on xda. That's not a problem

Well ... It is a problem for some people, even with the carefully set out instructions by the lovely people on here, you still have to feel confident. I'm completely fine with rooting, it's the downgrading that I'm not sure about. I've tried it twice and get stuck/scared so I have to stop. Although I appreciate you pointing out twice to me that unlocking is not a problem ;-)

[Q] Lucky?

Whilst out walking the dog I noticed a htc phone facedown on the pavement, there was no body else about so I picked it up...
Turns out to be a wildfire with vodaphone sim and security gesture locked.
What should I do?

Is the phone rooted or not ?!
If not just Hold Volume Down + The power button to boot into hBoot menu, then choose clear storage and choose yes, this will hard reset the phone and it will be as new, enjoy it
LUCKY!! -.-

Hi, no doubt its rooted. Yeah I know how to wipe it but didn't know if it was blockable by the carrier. Thibk its pay as you go to be honest!
I have a rooted desire myself but might give it to the misses
