On another forum, a developer has expressed a willingness to see if he can develop a flashable zip file to allow custom recoveries to be installed on the HAM2. A HAM2 user comfortable using adb needs to see if he can get partition info to the developer as a first step (the developer doesn't own a HAM2). (I don't want to upset xda developers so if you want to read about this, just google "still no root HAM2" or you can pm me.) Maybe, if we're lucky, at least one developer will get a HAM2 and become motivated to develop a root method.
Here's the thread if anyone's interested. Hell, you guys could probably PM him saying you'd like to help test too!
Getting root on this phone would make me the happiest guy on earth! I think we should donate to this guy if we get root. He doesn't even have this phone.
bootloader unlock
Can someone try this?
Sorry for the crappy link. I think I need to have 10 posts before I can post a real link. The page is in Chinese but it's pretty easy to understand if you paste it into Google Translate:
www dot emui dot com/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=unlock&action=apply
I think it's very similar to the htc bootloader unlock setup, but I don't know if it works for phones bought in the US.

Honestly, this phone has been out in China for a while, and the Chinese are definitely creating roms for it. So if someone really wants to put together some kind of donation pool I can probably just find a Chinese student who can just copy and paste the info from the Chinese language forums.

For example, here are some instructions for root (I haven't tested them, YMMV)
