Hello lovely people...
I have heard a lot about the 'signed bootloader' of the new HTC devices such as the Incredible S and Desire S, as many of you know this means it cannot be rooted... This is annoying because these new phones are nicer that the Desire and other older HTCs that can be rooted due to the unsigned bootloader but what puts me off the new ones is that you cannot root them!
Have they made the bootloader signed now just so you canot root and modify the phone?
Also I know there is not an excellent dev community like there is with the Desire but that can begin to happen once it can be rooted... So my question is will these devices ever be able to be rooted by someone finding out how to get past the bootloader?
Also I know Sony Ericsson devices also have signed bootloaders but they offer a tool to unlock it if you wish to modify and root it. Will HTC ever do that? Because the inability to root really puts me off these new phones that are oherwise very nice.
What does everybody think?
