HTC Considers Lifting Android Bootloader Lockdowns
Taiwanese smartphone giant HTC has revealed it is considering changing the bootloader restrictions on its Android handsets after it posted a message to its official Facebook page to notify its customers.
HTC’s remarkable u-turn comes after the company came under fire for not allowing Android users to modify the way their devices operated under Google’s open Android mobile operating system.
The Facebook message has already received over 1,000 likes and nearly 600 comments in just under seven hours: "Thanks so much for providing feedback, we hear your concerns. Your satisfaction is a top priority for us and we’re working hard to ensure you have great experiences with our phones. We’re reviewing the issue and our policy around bootloaders and will provide more information soon. Thank you for your interest, support and willingness to share your feedback."
