Awesome, we should get root soon!

Here's the kicker, sources ain't worth a Damn unless the bootloader is unlocked, and otherwise you'll just be able to do emulation only... I'm trying the htc bootloader unlocker one last time

Would a vivid with an unlocked boot loader help? Or we wouldn't be able to work backwards...

Hopefully this sparks something. This forum is looking like a ghost town

. I suppose there isn't much to talk about without root, but I wonder how many people that would've contributed to the Vivid have already moved on.

The only things I plan to use permaroot for is permanently killing the bloatware (including CIQ), AdFree, Nandroid backup, using an international Raider stock ROM and SetCPU underclocking for battery life.

Hmm, come to think about it, that's actually a reasonably long list.

Blah, HTCdev, Y U NO WORK? Maybe the removal of the message could be heralding that something is coming...

Your probably right a bunch have moved on, I would love a vivid but will wait till we can root.

In AT&T's letter to Al Franken they mentioned CIQ was disabled on the Vivid and skyrocket because of performance issues when activated, even though it's dormant, and I still want it out. Having the source allows us to tinker with the rom ahead of time so we can build roms before bootloader unlock takes place

You figure most roms are tested via emulation before they are made flashable, these forums will be picking up real shortly, Therefore a bootloader unlock is not far away especially since they released source on the vivid.

I am currently "experimenting" with source. I hope to release a rom after the bootloader unlock and a stable method of permanent root has surfaced on AT&T Vivid Hardware.

Cool to release it so soon. It might be their way of saying "it's AT$T, not us" to unlocked bootloader.

Nope, because obviously AT&T said no.

AT&T has no say so in GPL....releasing source code does NOT guarantee anything. they HAVE to release source code as mandated in GPL.

Exactly

The way it seems to be portrayed on that other dev site, GSLeon is making some pretty good progress; his last post was a few days ago saying that results are coming "in a few days".

Let's hope he's not trolling.
