HTC EVO 3D and EVO View 4G shipped RUUs leaked
Forget about early test builds and beta firmware. 911HTC has gotten its hands on the official RUU (ROM Update Utility) for the "so soon you can taste it"-to-be-released HTC EVO 3D and HTC EVO View 4G.
That's as good as gold, folks!
The RUUs are available for download now, but unless you want to spend your final days with the EVO 4G holding down your lose papers or keeping your door propped open, don't flash them on your phone. Devs have already dived in and when they come up for air, they'll tell us all what's what.
[911HTC: EVO 3D | EVO View 4G] Thanks, sabores!
1st! Can’t wait to see what the devs find out so they can share with us all the goodies..Less than 2 weeks hopefully left to go woot!!
excellent!
The main thing I want to know is if the bootloader is encrypted…
I believe there was some confirmation on XDA about it being locked but unencrypted. I could be wrong about that, but that’s what I remember reading somewhere.

Doesn’t looked like this thing will be cracked any time soon, if ever. Not a good trend coming out of HTC
If this thing can’t be cracked then I’m good on purchasing it. After almost a year of my EVO I have just now found my way to flashing new ROMS Kernels and getting rid of all the bloatware that runs my battery down in 15 minutes!! If HTC wants to lock the phones down to no longer being user friendly capable then they can keep it for themselves. Seems like a real Apple move to me.
Yeah, I just found out… That’s a deabreaker for me. Let’s see what other dual core phones come out of Sprint in the near future..
I’m hoping that 1) this causes a MAJOR dent in the sales of the EVO 3D and 2) HTC realizes it’s a direct result of locking down the hardware.
I have a feeling they’ll still see a lot of initial sales, from everyone who wants a new neat 3D phone, but I’m betting it won’t be as long lived as the EVO’s popularity.
