Signed Bootloader, are you still getting it?

Evo3d hasn't come out yet, there's no way they would make that announcement and then make that phone with a locked bootloader.

Just playing devil's advocate... but just because it hasn't come out yet doesn't mean that there aren't manufactured, ready to ship units sitting in a warehouse somewhere.

Yes I am also afraid of this same thing. Although this will be 100% buy if AC can confirm it will be retroactive as well.

Being already manufactured is irrelevant. They can release an update the day they are released (EVO 4G had an update the day of release) to unlock the bootloader.

If it's that simple, then fantastic.

The Evo 3D is almost guaranteed to not only be manufactured and boxed already, but sitting in a Sprint warehouse. The final ROM has already been leaked, that's how we knew it was locked in the first place.

But that absolutely doesn't mean the Evo 3D will be locked. All we need is for HTC to either put a file on their website that we can download, or an over the air update, and it will be unlocked. No big deal.

I am 100% confident in buying this phone now.

People hearing about the EVO 3D having a locked bootloader is what incited poeple to blow up HTC's facebook page. I turn, is what caused HTC to review their policy. You really think they would leave the phone that initiated all this in the dark? Doubt it.
Yes, I know the incredible 2, Sensation and Thunderbolt are already out, or soon to be, with these locked bootloaders, but I don't recall hearing the public outcry being as loud until after the EVO 3D was confirmed to have a locked bootloader.

Like I said earlier... I was simply playing devil's advocate.
