hen the Droid DNA was first announced, we were all surprised to find that the bootloader was unlockable at HTCdev.com. Because of this, the device actually got root, recovery, and custom kernel days before the official release. Unfortunately, by the time the device became available in retail channels, Verizon pulled the plug and it was no longer unlocked through official means.Thankfully, there's another way (isn't there always?). The softmod below will effectively change the carrier information, allowing it to once again be unlocked via HTC's official tool.
Before we get started, special thanks to Sean Beaupre, who stepped in at the last minute and made this release possible. I was unable to release one of the original exploits due to a conflict of interest, and Sean provided a working replacement that we could release.
Requirement:
- Modern ADB that supports backup/restore (ICS and up)
- 1GB free space on your phone
