@VAVA Mk 2 Ooops I thought the title meant eFuse wasn't there so phones won't break. Goddammit locking down an Android phone defeats the purpose of it! If only the Incredible had a slightly better camera and HD video capture out of the box :( And if they actually had them in stock.
I know it still isn't. That is why I said it would be a long time at least before any chance of me getting Sense or Froyo Stock on here since it hasn't been done yet on Droid 1. Makes me sad.
@DefPoet What are you talking about? You can wifi and USB tether a Milestone after rooting. Most common is Barnicle. If you can't you're probably using an ancient kernel. Everyone knows this.
@VAVA Mk 2 Nothing to be happy about. That root method uses a roundabout way which doesn't touch the bootloader. The Milestone bootloader is still encrypted after 7 months.
This is still bad news, because now even with the minute chance the 2048 bit encryption on the Milestone bootloader is cracked, it was all for nothing as you still wouldn't be able to load unsigned ROMS. At least with the debunked hardware self-destruct the hackers wouldn't be wasting their time.
what? They ripped through the Moto Droid pretty quickly and it's still got a huge community despite newer faster phones that have come out. If you're talking about the Milestone, then sure.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Yayyyyyy! Still gonna take forever for the hacking community to root it though based on the last Droid, if ever. Sad face :-(

@DC MIKE

wifi tether doesnt even fully work
@DC MIKE

@DC MIKE
wifi tether for android
the app that comes preloaded on just about all custom roms
free is better

@Zizagoo And by "Milestone bootloader", I mean the X bootloader. ;)
