Found this link today off Gizmodo, not sure who else has seen it:

HTC is "Reviewing the Issue and Our Policy Around Bootloaders and Will Provide More Information Soon"

 

[fatboy97]

It's on Facebook as well as Twitter.

Flyodd posted it here yesterday as well.

Yeah, Just noticed that after the fact. Sorry, maybe I got too excited for my own good. : D

That's ok. No one replied to his. Here's another thread: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...oaders+and+Will+Provide+More+Information+Soon

Does this mean the Bolt will get one click root? Is one click root rooting done on the device itself or do you still need a PC?

I'm confused...the Thunderbolt already has a locked bootloader, right? Which has already been figured out, right? Why is this such a hot topic all of a sudden?

To clarify, I understand the argument, just not timing of the public outrage...unless I'm missing something?

The outrage is more of upcoming devices like the evo 3d and the sensation which have locked bootloaders (throw in incredible s/2 in there as well).

Because rooting a Bolt is a real PITA. As long as rooting requires flashing multiple images and adb, then rooting is limited to the technically literate, and that's a small fraction of android users.

One click rooting apps open up rooting and its benefits to a much larger amount of users, many of whom had that option on their previous android phone.

Fair enough I guess, I just wasn't sure if I was missing something...

A oneclick like Z4 will not need a computer at all. Byut i'm pretty sure Unrevoked needs one.
