IEDs, Planes, RPGs – they aren’t tanks but can be effective in the hands of the little guy. Hell, even time will work given enough of it.

Yes it does wipe the phone. I did the bootloader unlock a few days go. Even posted about it in a different article when htc unlocking bootloaders in general came to light.

I’m sure this is a far-fetched explanation.

Virtual machines and init script replacements are very different. The only problem is that you can’t replace the kernel, but everything else is as if you’re running the “real” ICS.

I don’t think Motorola owes you anything, however. They did not promise to unlock the bootloaders of DROID-branded devices, nor they are obliged to. Sure, using excuses like “VZW doesn’t let us” is silly. It doesn’t mean, however, that they must unlock the bootloader just because other manufacturers do.

I personally love this because for a while now Moto has been screaming it’s the carrier and now we know that Moto has been lying to us and I agree with most other comments that it’s time moto steps up to the plate and I’m sorry if I sound stuck up or bitter but after my OG droid and my Gnex with things like the DX and D3 in-between I have no desire to deal with it again and I’m not going to be buying anymore moto phones until they change their ways and I love moto’s phones, I dig the look they have and I’ve always liked the build quality it’s some of the best IMO and they have the best slider out there right now but until they change their ways my moneys going elsewhere. They can continue to churn out a new phone every month but I won’t be buying them

Someone please explain the me why I want to unlock my bootloader. I’m excited about doing it although my Tbolt is finally set up perfectly. Losing that and starting over is a daunting thought. Is it worth it?

Without a doubt, this is HTC’s way of staying relevant in light of the G-Nex and Samsung. Motorola isn’t even a contender in my eyes anymore.
