HTC has continued updating their developer site bootloader unlock tool with new devices and this time around they’ve gone ahead and added:

If you have any of those devices, and are wishing to have the bootloader unlocked then you can hit up the HTCDev site below to get started. Not sure what your bootloader is or if you want it unlocked? Check out our Android A to Z covering what, exactly a bootloader is.

Ya know, I don’t think Carrier IQ is all that bad, and it kinda sucks to see all the uproar that ensued when people discovered Carrier IQ came down to HTC straight removing it from phones. I mean, it’s used as a diagnostic tool for the carriers so they know when there are service outages, poor network performance, and what-not. Hell, being on AT&T’s network I would have probably signed up for the service so then maybe AT&T will get their 3G network working right. I think the only problem with Carrier IQ was people not being told it was there, and not being given an option to opt out. A better option would have been to implement a notification that pops up (kinda like when you boot an Android phone for the first time) and says, “hey, Carrier IQ is on here, this is what it does, do you want to remove it?”

Kodak isn’t really having the best time financially right now, but that hasn’t prevented the company from filing patent lawsuits against both HTC and Apple. 

The claims from Kodak are that both smartphone manufacturers are infringing upon some of their digital imaging patents. While they already have an existing lawsuit directed at Apple, this one brings more devices to the table. HTC meanwhile are being targeted through their EVO View 4G, Flyer, Jetstream, Vivid, Amaze 4G, Desire, EVO Design 4G, Hero S, Rezound, Rhyme, Sensation 4G and the Wildfire S devices. That’s a lot of Android. Notably missing from the list are any of HTC’s Windows Phone devices.

HTC took a few minutes away from their time at CES and updated the bootloader unlocking tool database with a few more devices this evening, namely the Desire HD and additional versions of the Desire and Wildfire.  The list is growing at a nice steady clip, with over 40 listed models and support for other devices not yet listed.  Nice job HTC, keep it coming!

HTC has slowly been rolling out their bootloader unlock tool, we have seen a few devices receive the ability to use it, and now they have updated for support of more devices. HTC tweeted that the HTC Wildfire, HTC Wildfire S, HTC Status, HTC Merge, HTC Salsa and the original HTC Desire. If you own one of these devices and want to take advantage of this, head over to the source link to get it done!
