HTC Droid DNA no longer unlockable
As reported by XDA Developers, the HTC Droid DNA has “lost” its unlockable bootrom (and that is ahead of the device’s official release date!). Unlocking the bootloader through the HTCDev bootloader tool will no longer work.
Developers however don’t seem much bothered at this point, perhaps because they are still busy with finding a way to root the phablet through S-OFF, which should actually be an easier way to root for us users once they have achieved this functionality.
The news that the HTC Droid DNA is to be rooted before release may upset a little the Android fans (at least those, who have hoped for another easily-rooted device). But as with any Android device — or even iOS devices, for that matter — it will only be a matter of time until developers find ways to successfully do a rooting or jailbreaking exploit.
Would this latest news discourage you from buying the phablet, or are you all right with getting a locked-down Droid DNA?
