There is no Desire 4G. You might be thinking of the Inspire 4G which is the 4G variant if the Desire HD.

He's talking about the rumoured HTC device headed for Verizon wireless in the us. I haven't heard anything new outside that screen shot that was released with that name.

Also I wouldn't say the inspire is the 4g variant of the dhd. Same phone just att decided to the 4g moniker to it. Its like the memory debacle. If anything I'd call it 3.25-3.5g max

My bad :cool:
If the I4G is just a DHD with AT&T branding then why do people have to flash things like the I4G sound fix (using JellyTime as an example)?

As per an article on engadget cell com,a provider in Wisconsin, will be rebranding the Droid incredible 4g lte(carriers really need to stop adding these extra crap to the names) as the disire 4g.

Mind posting pics? Where you get it. What carrier? As it was just announced for celcom.

You might also want to check out the Droid incredible 4g forums. Maybe this rebranded device will help them out with root and unlocking the bootloader

Thought you might (work for Cellcom) :p kernel would be helpful for developers. Any info on device changes?

Alright. Basic pics of the device are attached. Along with a few screen caps from the about section.

I have an international GS3 and a Nexus 7 and I have to say, this device is really holding its own. At stock none the less! It has not disappointed me once.

Ok, cannot attach from app apparently... Lame? Will hop on chrome and attach in a couple minutes.

Have you tried unlocking the boot loader via HTC dev? You should definately post the Droid incredible 4g late forums. Maybe a dev can find a work around like what they did for the att one x to unlock the boot loader for them

Looks like a DHD with a sensation-like back cover. 1 GB RAM, a dual core processor and sense 4.0 sounds appealing ;)

I have successfully unlocked the boot loader from HTC Dev site, but am unable to find a way to root the device.

I'm itching for some Su, so if anyone has any ideas on how to do this, please post or pm me.

I wad thinking of trying a droid incredible 4G TWRP recovery, but need a way to backup at least my recovery IMG first in case it doesnt work. Ideas are much thanked

Update: Great News! I have successfully flashed TWRP 2.1 to the Desire 4G! I used the toolkit found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758682
Rebooted the phone and adb recovery into TWRP. Performing a Full Backup right now, will attempt to use the same toolkit to do Perm Root and report back. I'll try a DI4G kernel once I confirm the backup/restore process is all working correctly. I have to no RUU for this thing, so I can't get to crazy.

Well, can't flash DI4G kernel, but can get supersu via that link. Backup and restore from twrp seems to work ok, although I have lost mms capability(sending and recieving). Not sure what happened, only thing I can think of twrp. I hope I can get an ruu and reflash to stock. Otherwise I'm SOL
