Then run apk again. There are many post talking about unlocked bookloader, do not try it, if you unlock ARC bootloader, you will never able to flash SE STOCK ROM update again, such as 3.0 etc enjoy cheers James Edited April 25, 2011 by James Kei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up reflashing a premade image with root already enabled. Now works like a mint. Unlocked Bootloader and Rooted. Now i can finally use A2SD again. Grrrreeeeaaatttt!!

And if you have unlocked it with the howto from SE you cant root it? I have a new Arc which i unlocked with XDA/SE's way to unlock. And my fear is (as i understood it) that i cant root it and use A2SD and boot ROM's with (hopefully) HTC's Sense UI. Please enlighten me :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sylar2010 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Dude it will be very difficult to have Sense on a SE device, as I know Sense has never been ported to a device outside the HTC family. I already miss Sense and HTC apps too but Paul should give us a sexy rom too for the Arc, let's hope he is planning for us soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are a few things i miss badly... Its the phone app that searches numbers and contacts as i type it(i know there are apps to do this, but all this apps are so much slower and not half as nice looking). There is the integrated facebook sync and some small other things... So my hope for a killer ROM (maybe with some good alternatives to my former listings) from Paul is pretty big :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hong99 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'm afraid htc sense will be gone, but worry no more... you can always emulate the closest thing using free and paid apps. Launcher PRO plus, classic fancy widget, curve fish toggle widgets, htc keyboard mod, teeter game, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the genius has created a small (98 KB) magical file that needs to be flashed using “Flashtool” to re-lock the boot loader" could it be true if in case i unlock it and root it i can still use the customs roms and update the customs as they release right,,, anyone just give me ur opinion guys is it worth unlocking for customs roms.... thnks :) Edited September 21, 2011 by acharyag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
