So I guess Htc/VZ decided to release the source: http://member.america.htc.com/downlo...1c2268.tar.bz2

We have been down this road before with several other devices...
HTC has ALWAYS released the source code....within a few months or so.

You can email all you want, but your going to get generic responses, and its going to be released anyways.
The phone is only available for pre-order and its not even the 29th yet...so give them sometime.

Cheers!

Will having the kernel source for the Incredible make rooting the device easier because of the potential for "work arounds".

From what Paul is saying over at Modaco, it seems HTC is going out of their way to make the Desire and Incredible "more secure"... which means locking down bootloader, kernel, etc. More of a pain for rooting... agh!

No worries at all man
Glad to see you getting involved...
We blasted HTC before with thousands of emails, and even got News sources involved, but since all that they have always released the source codes within a few months or so.

Cheers!

Droid Eris was released on 11/6/09; kernel source code is still not released.

Re: Kernel Source, lets ask Htc for it.

I should have been more clear. I was referring too 2.1, but since that's not technically released on the eris yet, my whole post is wrong.

Nothing to see here, move along!
