Default Stop crying over evo 3d being locked.

Crying over a phone that has not been released cause it is locked is completely stupid. Whether it is locked and encrypted or has an instaroot button it will be hacked at some point. The only thing that changes is the method on doing so. If you have already made ur decision to not get this phone due to it being locked and encrypted then please navigate away from this section of the forum and please by all means please stop crying over this topic. The evo 3d is not unhackable it will be done its just a matter of time. If u make the decision not to get this phone at last use a better excuse. You nor.I know the ability of the devs so until they come out and say its impossible drop it and wipe ur tears.

Why don't you go ask the guys over in the droid x section about encrypted bootloaders.

You saying that its only a matter of time isn't helping either. In fact, its misleading considering that many phones in this position, notably the Droids, have yet to be cracked a year later. Besides, this is a EVO 3D topic on a home brew development site. It being incredibly limited to the purpose of this entire site is essential discussion.

Try saying this to the many of users out there still locked down thinking their phones would eventually be cracked. Ya they're still waiting...
"mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make"

I'm not going to waste my time on "it might be done eventually" If and when it does get cracked the next big thing will probably be coming out. Patience is a virtue for suckers.

100% agree. I was debating myself between the 3D and the SGS2 so that I can have a beast of a phone and continue with MIUI, but now that choice I guess got easier.

Maybe my post was a bit rude I apologize for that. Its not that I think we should not discuss this. I just don't think we need 10 separate topics a day doing so. I also feel this being the sole reason some people are protesting getting this phone is a bit stupid when u balance the pros and cons of this phone. I have also read that there is someone attempting to develop a way to unlock locked phones using a similar method to jailbreaking iphone. I dont remember where on google I read that. I'm not telling u that to start rumors just trying to show u it is being worked on it is not going unnoticed by the devs.
