HTC’s planning on unlocking the bootloaders on the HTC Sensation and EVO 3D sometime soon, but if you just can’t wait that long – we present to you Revolutionary! The teams from unrevoked and AlphaRev have worked together to release Revolutionary, which delivers S-OFF to nearly a dozen HTC devices, allowing users to flash custom ROMs to their devices. While Revolutionary does not grant root access, the development team has put together a handy little zip file which grants root access after Revolutionary has been applied to your phone.
Revolutionary will give you S-OFF either by a patched HBOOT or setting the secureflag to off on the device itself. This behaviour will depending on your particular device. Optionally it will also replace the stock Android recovery with a custom one, which adds many features including “nandroid” backups, the ability to use custom ROMs, and a greater amount of flexibility and customization of your Android phone.
For more details about Revolutionary, be sure to read their main page in addition to the support page on the unrevoked site. We’re sure the development community around these HTC devices is going to explode over the next few weeks with new ROMs and customizations get released into the wild.
