subject: How To: Verizon Droid Dna Unlocking Bootloader [print this page] HTC Droid DNA is one of those limited number of devices that is able to leave its mark in the marketplace through the new advancement that it brings it together with itself.
So this offers us even more reason to root this bad boy and make full use of its true qualities. Though, in order to root this mobile phone you would first have to to unlock its bootloader, so here goes the guide for unlocking the bootloader of HTC Droid DNA.
Step 1: Go to HTC's official bootloader page.
Step 2: Follow the onscreen instructions and in case you have any problem just consult the video given below.
Warning: This step would erase all your data, so better generate a data backup before beginning.
It looks like that our big red, Verizon, was not ready to let the HTC Droid DNA users enjoy an unlocked bootloader so they have forced HTC to pull back support for the official bootloader page.
However, there is absolutely no need to fret because some brilliant Android developers worked hours and hours for us and were able to find yet another solution of unlocking the bootloader of HTC Droid DNA. The full howto is accessible at Android Origin.
Thus far, no official reason has been presented either by HTC or Verizon but whatever the reason may be, apart from leaving many Droid DNA consumers furious, the big red has also managed to provide no support regarding the bootloader whatsoever for the Droid DNA's that have already made their shelves and are ready to be sold.
HTC has always been known for the developer friendly products it makes as a matter of fact, even though the Droid DNA has a 5 inch 1080p display which currently only a few handsets in the markets have, one of its main attraction was that there was an official bootloader unlocking page available on HTC's website and now that it has been pulled off, it might be a deal breaker for some people.
