So we were all excited about HTC allowing users to have unlocked bootloaders on their Android devices…Well with that comes a little pain – well to me a lot of pain. HTC released on their Facebook page the official process of unlocking your bootloader. Now it may come to a surprise that…
A surprise that HTC is requiring all users that unlock their bootloader to sign away their warranty. See when you make a deal with the devil (HTC) there is always a price to pay. They go on to say in their Facebook page that “all or parts” of your warranty will be null and void. So after you unlock it is all SDK’s, device identifier tokens, and unlock keys. What gets me is that HTC is giving us a process that we want, and others are giving us but yet they are taking away all future support.
They did continue to say that the HTC Sensation and HTC Evo 3D would be the first devices to lose their warranty be able to use the unlocking process. Hit my source below to check the full explanation out by the CEO of HTC.
