Is anyone actively trying to unlock hboot 1.5?
Hopefully. There's been no news that I've heard. Just keep hoping that we'll hear something soon.

You are going to find yourself in the middle of a **** storm for posting this is the "Dev Section"!

I hope so, because HTC's unlock method truly does suck!
By the way this should have been posted in "Questions & Answers" you should request to have it moved in the proper thread section.

this shouldn't have been posted at all! If he had searched, he would have found one of the other 3 or 4 threads asking the same question lol. Yes, people are working on it. No, none has made any significant progress or knows when it will be done.
holy balls i hate noobz.

I guess you came out of the womb knowing everything. Why do you have to hate noobs. The guy made a mistake man. C'mon. No reason to hate anyone for posting in the wrong section. There's more to life than XDA.

Not a noob (what a stupid word), I posted here because I knew I would get some sort of answer. I also know that some of these questions never get answered in the Q&A section. I'm truly sorry if I ruined your life by posting a question about development in the development section. I really hope you have nothing but happiness in your life.

It astonishes me to see you have such a massive ego and mock someone else when you yourself have just proved you can't do something as simple as follow a forum structure or even use the search.
Did it occur to you that maybe if Revolutionary worked on HBOOT 1.5, that the thread concerning HBOOT 1.5 might actually say this? Or instead, you could have just gone straight to http://revolutionary.io/ and seen for yourself? It's kind of strange that you would say that "these kinds of questions never get answered in Q&A", because I decided to visit that section, and guess what the first thread I saw was? This. And you know what I see on the first page (aside from the usual flaming because people like you don't wan to take the time to search?) I see this post:

Is that not enough of an answer for you? Were you expected a tailor-made response from ARX? Guess what; the world doesn't revolve around you or that phone. When they figure it out, if they figure it out, you will know right away. If that's not enough, I can use the search function (something that someone who is not a "noob" should know about), and show you several more threads were there's the same question and the same answer.
It's not really anyone else's problem if you can't A) Read, B) accept that the answer is just "not yet" or C) use the search function. So calm down with the ego a bit, eh?
I don't think I've seen anyone stupid enough to admit they posted in the wrong area without even bothering to search, but still have the gall to mock someone else who's telling you otherwise. This is what's killing XDA. It's one thing to help out new people and do it politely, it's another to help out an egotistical jackass who admits he broke the very (VERY) simple rules of forum structure and didn't both to even search for it. In fact, it took me way longer to type this out than to use the search function. Which you could have done instead of making this thread.
You take first prize for that in the douchebag awards, though. Congrats.
^really, amen.
how many freaking threads are there about this. that was my one line post on the previous page.
i just find it hilarious, that when you were making this thread, as you started to type in "HBOOT 1.5" it was impossible for you to not see the 5 other threads that are automatically displayed to help you see there is no need to make another thread about HBOOT 1.5.
admittedly, my response was short and ill mannered, but the bottom line is i was just having a bit of fun with you for the reason outlined above. i dont really hate you, that would be ridiculous.

Some people are edgy about it because there is a cloud of uncertainty about whether you can discuss it or post the link to his forum without getting warned by a moderator. I'm on both forums and regardless of which one you're on, it's been agreed by all that it's for the best to leave the matter alone. Read through his post history here if you want to try piecing together the puzzle yourself.

I dont see anyone being *****y? i gave a straight answer, which is its NONE of our business. if you dont see him posting roms etc, assume hes not around. besides, its been all throughout the entire xda forum about his situation for weeks. if youre interested enough, the info is out there
Geez people. The major developer for the amaze packs up, yanks all his roms and pulls his threads and leaves and everyone is supposed to just pretend nothing happened? You can claim it's none of our business all you want but people certainly have the right to be curious and ask questions. Want to end all the questions and speculation? Then don't tell people to dredge the forum for clues. Deal with the question and put it to bed.
I agree and the users are the reason why these forums are alive and working so in a way we are the board members lolllll jk but ink why pda is having all these problems lately i guess a cleansing is what this site needs to be back at the top again

I googled xboarder56 and right there on the first page you can find where he is. Deal with the question and search yourself. 1st rule of xda in case you couldn't find that also
Their not gone. Google the name of the ROM u want and xboarder56 and I'm sure u will find it. The bottom line is mrmako is right. If you don't know, then it didn't concern you and was none of your biz to begin with. His work is still obtainable. XDA is not only site to find hacks and roms etc. Let's just leave it at that and if you can't find his ROMs then go back to stock. It's not xboarders responsibility to service anybody, nor is it any devs responsibility. They create work that they decide to share with us. That's where it ends. They don't even have to share. So use what you can find. Google usually has the answers.
I miss Binary. He would have had this thread closed and locked already for it is completely unproductive. Since Binary retired from xda this forum has been mad with duplicate threads, noob issues, and a lawless feel. Where is Whiskey to shut this down?
PS just because people have the right to be curious and ask doesn't mean people have the right to know. So exercise your right to be curious and keep wondering. But its not anybody's responsibility to inform the masses of anything. Anything else that you can't find is drama unrelated to development, and if you want a soap opera, you should watch USA Network, they know drama.

This is the General section where questions are supposed to be asked and answered. Any thread that answers questions that many members have is productive. The only reason THIS thread is unproductive is the refusal to answer a question which is on MANY members' minds.

If that's what's on peoples minds, then they should get a new life. I know most of the story and personally its not that entertaining nor is it any of our business. If people want to know, then they can do the digging and be nosey on their own. It's nobodys place to restir a pot not worth stirring. It's counterproductive. Since you're such a tenured vet, you of all people should no better. Why does it matter where he is? If his work can be found elsewhere, what is the point of this thread. Threads like this are what started his move to begin with. Noobish ass questions with the answers right in front of peoples faces. Again, Law and Order is a personal favorite of mine, Criminal Intent and SVU.. if you want good drama, I recommended people start there
Not to mention this thread is 2 pages long, yet you are 1 out of 4 people who have showed interest in wondering where X is. The rest of the comments, the people already know or don't care. 4 people maybe consists on a lot to you, but I hardly would say the same

but this IS our point bro. the op didnt post a thread asking where x was or where he could find his work, he asked "what happened" as to imply "why" x was gone and not really IF he was gone. its kind of like when people get flamed for not searching first for answers to questions like "guys, how do i flash a rom?" or "amaze or s2?", except this is deeper and shouldnt be a topic to clog up our forum. the man left, hes not coming back, no need to continue to ask why or where he went.
on a side note marley, i DO understand your point, i just dont agree with it. i guess this is what happens when people have a $600 phone with little to no dev community LOL. lets just move forward and pray we get some new talent in here!

Maybe we can reach other devs from other phones, like CoreDroid, who are able to successfully port their work to our device. Like what NRGZ did. I think the main reasons for little to no development are: a) amaze is a US phone and not a world phone; and b) s=on. So if we can get this device in other devs hands, it may help. Like the Revolutionary donation we had going. Or I guess we can be happy with what we have and wait for nrgz 3.5 and xboarders ics.

then you need to learn to be more specific and yes I remember when I was a newbie but I never posted stupid questions... I poured over literally thousands of posts... I just bought my SGS2 a couple of weeks ago, and used it completely stock for a week before even flashing it with anything.
So the fact the OP is new DOES NOT excuse him/her from the same rules I adhered to or the same rules the more experienced developers adhere to. Much less a thread on how to root when it's a sticky. and baby sitters such as yourself are just as much to blame as people such as the OP because you give them what they want without any effort on their behalf, now that person will post each time they get a bug up their tail because those like you allow them to.
So if my rant can keep curve the behavior of just one newb then I am more than willing to keep ranting at all the stupid and unneeded new threads that come up, but I will never clog nor rant a reasonable question or well maintained thread.
the way i see it, it someones stuck an they ask a question its good to help them, especially if theyve tried and couldnt find anything. the search bar on here is useless even when being specific, av seen plenty of users say the same about it. n does it really affect you in any way if someone posts a question that may or not have been answered, no it doesnt so its not a massive deal. also some people havent got the time to go through thousands of posts looking for an answer that may or not be there. am not wana get into a big debate with you, all am wanting to say is there is no reason to be so rude. this is a forum at the end of the day, its for helping people.

as a matter of fact it affects me directly as does it affect you directly. If a user has no time to look for what they need, then they need not tinker with their phone, that' slike saying I don't have time to learn to drive, but I need a car to get where I'm going, the logic isn't worth the time used to think it up. And posts such as these are what make the search function on any forum hard to provide relevant material because of all the junk that is allowed to be posted. and this is xda, which is for developers essentially, and the best devs are leaving in droves because of complacency such as yours to allow noobs that have no business posting needless threads, much less owning device that DOES need time to research before being modified.
and I can go on and on and on and on, there is ZERO reason to tolerate half thought out post from newbies just because they are too lazy or don't have the time to look through the information that others like theirselves post.. if there were hardfist rules then the forum would not be clogged with useless posts and thus no need for my rant
right mabye you have a valid point, but is there any reason to be so rude to everyone? also just say the OP had tried searching here but couldnt find anything because of all the useless threads on here, whats he meant to do then? after all its not really his fault theres loads of pointless threads on here because hes a newbie. the only option left is to post a new thread, or go without an answer.

keep searching until he finds it because posting a new thread is the very reason we have all the clutter. if he has no time to keep searching then he shouldn't fathom modifying his device, it's as simple as that.
yeah fair enough but what if the answer hes searching for isnt there? cus am sure at somepoint there will be valid questions unanswered. and if newbies do post pointless threads then you could state to them that they should be searching etc without being rude about it all.

I stated VERY clearly a couple of responses ago that I will never rant on a valid thread and will do my best to help the OP. I have never been rude to anyone that honestly NEEDED a hand, but I will flame anyone for stupid posting. Because you are completely right, how can you find the information if it's not there? BUT if the information is there, AND in a sticky, then there is no excuse for the laziness.
AND I did make the statement a few posts up that I would not rant or be rude to someone that needed the help. I was very clear.
yeah i know but what if the newbie has seached and cant find the answer, even if it is a pointless question, surley he has a right to ask the question without getting flamed. if hes a newbie he wont know what questions will have been answered n whats not. he wont know hes posting an answered question because hes tried to find the answer and couldnt. i dont want to argue with you but personally i like to be polite to people and manners go a long way. we just see it different. a can see your point of veiw about it getting cluttered but newbies dont really know any better so you should mabye cut them some slack

cutting them some slack just makes the problem worse. if the answer is there these is ZERO justification for the new post. If the answer is NOT there by some chance, there is ZERO justification for me to be rude to them and I will dedicate myself to help them find an answer, but if it's in plain sight, I will also dedicate myself to trying to make sure they think twice about not looking for their answer. such as this thread, does the OP think they are one of few that wants to root his/her phone and that's its done so little that the answer is not in plain sight? that's the only logic that fits into your argument, other than just flat out laziness.
THERE is no justification for being polite to those who are lazy and want spoon fed answers, that is one of the largest reasons many forums getting clogged so quickly
my arguement wasnt defending lazy people, its just saying to not to be rude to everyone who posts a new question, especially those who have tried but failed to find an answer

Wipe as you would normally for installing a new ROM(this is considered optional). Then select "restore" instead of " install". Chose your backup.

OP ...
It's also a very good idea to wipe the system when setting up for a restore.
New roms will often wipe the system for you, but a restore generally will not.
Just a tip for clean restores.
And regarding the jab about posting.....
The forum is overflowing with new threads asking the same questions repeatedly.
It takes up so much space, that navigation becomes very difficult, and it detracts users when searching for information in the open forums.
As mentioned above, a quick search would have given you the answer to your question.
It certainly does not mean that we don't want to help, it just means that your answer is likely waiting in a quick search, rather than posting a repeat thread that takes up much needed space.
No hard feelings here, and happy flashing ....g

Noobs just don't understand that this is NOT an "instructional forum", it is a DEVELOPMENT forum, meant for experienced phone developers, NOT for Noobs that break their phones because they don't know WTF they are doing...

No....
There are no exemptions based on post count or self-imposed status here.
Post count means nothing, as anyone can post, regardless of the topic. (good or bad)(users just fail to read the rules)
The problems arise when the first rule of XDA is broken. and that of course, is to search before posting. Bandwidth and server space is not cheap, and this is ultimately a development site, not a nursery for people to learn how to boot into download mode etc. Those questions were answered a year ago when this device hit the shelves.
And as I mentioned above, the multi-QA threads covering the site, will bury the threads that contain the help users need to get answers.
It's the self-feeding effect, and it log jams the site something aweful. So when a search is conducted, the only results that come back are threads asking repeat questions, and no answers. (Make sense? ) And we are left with even more threads stating..."I searched, but I cant find it"...
And thats no lie under those conditions. So you see, that is why Senior members will jump on newer users to search first, rather than post a repeat thread. It often avoids the domino effect, leaving the "solved" threads visible to help people out.
I am simply a user who chooses to stay and help others avoid costly mistakes, using the knowledge I've gained here. I started on this site after reading every thread on the device I used at the time. And did not post unless it was an absolute emergency. (never really had any of those).
Soon after, I began to help others with basic questions, and gathered up a sizable number of posts through helping and giving back for the amazing work freely offered here.
Honestly, dont be afraid to post, just make sure you have exhausted the search method to the best of the site's ability to give you answers.
and after that, let us know you need a hand.
Too easy, and we will help you any way we can.....g
OK. Thanks. Great way of explaining the system and situation..Thanks Again

It's a waste of time to spend 2 years on a website, gaining knowledge about devices, and do nothing with that knowledge.
I decided after hard bricking a new phone that was entrusted to me, that I'd study, give back, and save folks the trouble if possible.
I'm not at the development level, but I can pretty much dial in the issues people are having by sight.
I miss a few here and there, (old guy )...but for the most part I get the device going again.
I tell all users, especially new users, to read every part of the mods they attempt, then read it again.
Android is all about comprehensive understanding of the processes at work.
And it takes years to master. (I'm not a master)...And the time spent by our talented developers is wasted if folks won't read and learn.
Hundreds, even thousands of hours are freely given to us by them, in the form of roms, tweaks, and fixes....all free.
We owe them the respect to read and comprehend the offerings they provide.
And a little beer money sent their way never hurts either.
Thank you for the kind words....as they make the time spent here, much more pleasurable.
And if you don't want to post a question in the open forum, just PM me...
I'll do my best to help, and if I can't answer the question, I'll find someone for you that can.
We succeed by learning and giving back to the community...
Words we all should strive to live by here ....g

I have had 3 android phones, rooted them all using xda forums. I am not a computer genius certainly not an android expert. This is my very first post. The point of this post is I have rooted 3 phones and have never posted a question because????? I have read the thread!!!! I swear I have read 4 questions asked 8 times each. If I have had a question it had been asked and answered already. Im not even talking difficult questions. Guys, if you have a question read the thread before you post a question. It will be faster to read the thread than wait for a reply. Have a little bit of respect for those that work so hard for us (for free) to not have them answer the same question that has been answered countless times. You will be amazed the stuff you will also read that is going to come up and at that point you already know the solution and save even more time. Sorry for the rant, somebody had to say it

So true bro, it's a good point!
And this is your first ever post in here even you joined long time ago.
It is fantastic you know to have your kind of people in the community! You deserve the thank!
Agreed, it's a little ridiculous. Nevermind the xda search function, 99% of the time if I quote the question I have in the Google search bar I get my answer..but I guess that's too much effort.
Reading is over-rated.
One-click FTW!
ROFL...

This.
Nearly everything I've learned about android has been through Google search.
Heck, I learned to program Python from Google. Lol

Thanks OP for that
But you realize you are preaching to the choir!
The offenders will not read this.
