Good news for HTC, for it speaks of the improvement in their spiraling financials from...

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...
