Need to unlock bootloader on your HTC device? The Taiwanese company think you should have an easy way to do so and it keeps updating its bootloader unlock tool. The new batch of phones supported by the tool includes: HTC Desire Z, HTC ChaCha, HTC Aria, Droid Incredible, HTC Status and T-Mobile G2.

So if you want to kill the HTC’s default firmware along with Sense UI and install some other, custom firmware on your smartphone/tablet – this is the easy way to go. There are other options folks used before HTC decided to help them out, but that’s like a history now… at least for devices supported by the unlock tool.
