He was told in that thread there's no way out of that. I understand JB has a different bootloader than ICS.

strange..that some people can unlock on jb, some not (excluding people like me, who are unable to unlock in general ^^)
so maybe Asus is providing an updated version of the unlock tool in the near future...a working one would be really nice...

ASUS working on a bootloader? lol. Never gonna happen. As far as I can see it, asus is done supporting the prime. we have to be happy with what we already have.

Just unlocked last night after upgrading to JB the night before.
I know it says for ICS only, but it worked just fine for me on JB.

Did you try to unlock on ics or was this your first attempt?

First attempt. I never tried to unlock it on ICS since I didn't want to void the warranty.
I upgraded to JB via the US_epad_user_10_4_2_15_UpdateLauncher.zip flash from micro-sd, and lost root in the process.
Since my warranty is almost over, I said the hell with it and unlocked with the UnLock_Device_App_V6.apk tool from Asus, so I could get root back.
Worked perfectly on the first try!

Good to hear! kwineon's experience had me thinking it wouldn't work.
I'm going to pull the trigger and unlock/nvflash soon. I've held off and postponed the OTA.

[Q] how can I upgrade to .15?

How can I upgrade to .15 with an unlocked bootloader?
I'm afraid to do so because I've seen some people in this forum that bricked their TFP after upgrading with an unlocked bootloader.
I'm on .14 at the moment with root access and CWM recovery installed.
I'm in the same situation, and looking for a solution as well. Is Asus going to release .15, so we can manually apply the update?

what if someone will pull this upgrade from the OTA it'll work?
doubt ASUS will do anything for you but would imagine someone will come up with something.

Nope. If you unlocked you're now and forever dependent on the Dev community.

Nope, once unlocked, you're unlocked for good. Maybe one day someone might cone up with a way to relock the bootloader but like it was when I had my Atrix, always unlocked once you took that leap.

There is a stock ROM for.15 that just got posted to the dev section.

Nope. ASUS has your serial number on their server as unlocked. There is no going back now, no matter what ever happens, you will receive no updates or support from Asus.

Will root conflict with upgrades?

I have searched through posts around this forum and other forums, but am unsure about root. I know how to root my phone, but wanted to know whether I can still upgrade to the official ics upgrade once it's released if I am rooted on gingerbread. I'm talking about the one click root methods that don't require a new kernel.
AFAIK you can. you'll just loose root when it updates
honestly I'd wait a day after the official update is released the devs will probably have it rooted and you wont have to worry about losing root

Why would u "upgrade" to a buggy bloated ics when we have a better debloated ics already? Don't do eeeet.

Bootloader Unlockable

Hi all, just reporting that the bootloader of the Dinc4g is unlockable via htcdev.com. Hopefully will bode well for any would-be developers out there! Have a lovely day!
So, all we need is a custom recovery and we can flash SU correct?

Scroll all the way down to "All other supported models".
You can choose any phone you want to really. I chose Incredible (verizon) when i did mine.
yea just pick other, really only thing that matters is that unlock_bin code, once you have that, game on.
Anyone get the unlocking to work lately? Htc tells me unlock error.

[Q] One click Root?

I found this website http://www.oneclickroot.com/phone/htc-droid-dna/ I was wondering if it is a scam. Has anyone seen this?
I wonder if this works with the new OTA update. It would be sweet if it did.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Anyone willing to try this? I'm curious as to how it works considering the only methods out there right now require getting superCID then using HTV Dev to get the unlock code and the former no longer works...
Also:
The Droid DNA is also plagued by a battery efficiency problem.

It just seems fishy doesn't it?
To me, you would think this, being a pretty big development, would break here on XDA.
While I am hoping its true, as I am holding off until something like this is released, it just seems a little to good to be true.
But go for it if you want!
Just follow a guide on here, it's pretty much dead simple to unlock your bootloader through HTC. I highly doubt this is legit but in the time it took you to make this post and wring your hands about it you could have unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed a custom rom.
netstal trembley
im not saying its not legit but, like said a couple of posts above, if it was legit, i'd think it would be xda by now
My theory - If no one has commented anything at all and there's no one to vouch for it, don't become the martyr or the first victim.
I'm happy about the feed back from you guys. This is the reason I posted it here, because I knew someone would have a good insight about this topic.
I'm staying away
Thanks
Any idea when the new root will be out for the OTA? I get my DNA on Monday....

Click the download button and it says right there that it won't work. Only supports android up 4.0.3, and no HTC devices although they hope to support them in the future. It's virus free according the VirusTotal, but I still wouldn't use it on a supported phone without confirmation from someone else that it won't ruin it.
Hi, I'm one of the people behind the development of One Click Root. I can assure you our software does not contain viruses or any other malicious code.
The poster above me is correct. We currently don't have support for HTC devices as we're still working on a few of the finer details of automating HTCDev.com bootloader unlocking. We do hope to add support for HTC devices in the near future, along with a number of the most popular new devices on the latest ICS and Jelly Bean OS versions.

Coincidence or?

I'm guessing this is on the official Tmobile site? I'm on edge right now so I'm not even going to attempt to look lol. If it's not a typo, I'd say the chances of getting 4.3 just got better.

Doubtful, international L9 would get 4.2 before T-Mobile would since it wont need carrier additions and LG would be the only one able to do the port. The P769 is near its end of life, I doubt we will get another update. This just seems like a mistype.
I have a friend who is on 4.1.2 and he is getting an ota software update notification.

hate to be a party pooper but who cares? people always pining for the latest android.. half the changes are for tablets and multiple user accounts. we're better off focusing on easier bootloader unlock and more rom/kernel variety. i'd rather have a GB rom available than the bleeding edge android. to each their own i guess :highfive:
