Hi, I went to the link you posted and on that page there was a link to an unlock guide for the J Butterfly.
I'm not to knowledgeable about this kind of thing but looking through both the unlock guides they seem identical.

Can someone confirm that the unlock technique and guides for the DNA and the J Butterfly are the same?

Here is the link for the J Butterfly unlock guide (they even say it is borrowed from the DNA guide)

Here is the link for the Droid DNA unlock guide.

Any help would be appreciated because I tend on getting this phone in the next few days and would like to unlock/root and hopefully backup my phones ROM so I can start playing around.

Thank you.

I don't care if I can only use it in Japan. I just want to be able to root and be able to backup my rom and install custom roms and mods. ^_^

Well, just tried the DNA method and ran into an error. The guy (jcase) behind the DNA unlock looked into it for a short while and will hopefully figure it out. Until then, looks like we're stuck. In that Japanese link, it seems like they got it to work...but I'm not so sure, so I left a comment and maybe that will bring up something.

That method above didn't work for me either

got into stuck as others did when I tried to write mmcblk0p5

dd if=/sdcard/CIDBLOCK.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
/dev/block/mmcblk0p5: cannot open for write: Permission denied

Can I ask where you guys got your J butterflies?
I live in Osaka and they are not on sale here yet.

Does any one think that xda will open its own forum for this phone?
I hope some of the big dogs on here get this phone because it's so slick. Even determined iPhone users admit how beautiful this phone is!

great
looking forward to the report whether it's bootloader is unlockable or not :)

No unlock yet. HTCdev site doesn't work, and jcase method doesn't work either. Believe me, I'm looking in many places for any clues on how to progress with the Butterfly!

Probably no separate forum for this device, I would like one as well. I may open up a thread myself once unlock is possible and the RUU becomes available.

I'm no big dog, but I'm trying to learn.

Agreed, I love this phone. I recorded my friend's performance using the Butterfly and it looked absolutely beautiful on my TV in 1080p.

Having an SD card slot is also awesome :)
