HTC Desire Z, Status added to bootloader unlock list

By on January 17, 2012 at 11:14am in Mobile News


The HTC Desire Z has been one of the most versatile Android smartphones since it was released in mid-2011; it had its bootloader and SIM card slot unlocked due to a pretty serious vulnerability, so the developer community has been very active.

The Status, on the other hand, hasn’t really been adopted by the community, since it has such an unconventional form factor. Nevertheless, both have been added, along with some other non-Canadian devices, to the HTCDev bootloader unlock list.

As always, you may void your warranty with the unlock, and need to know your way around the Android SDK.

  2. Mid 2011? Hell no. The Desire Z was released in LATE 2010.

  3. Best android device I had. I just can’t stand touchscreen keyboard!
    That was before, before I realized there was an OS perfect for me, a Flawless OS that is 100 times more fluid than Android with OC.
    Windows Phone 7.

  4. Good sentiment, but Kinda late. If you havent already unlocked the bootloader, you probably werent going to.
