If you have to wait 6 months for someone two just suddenly show up and tell you to short TP12 to TP21 within 12 seconds from starting patched leaked tool on your PC, that just don't count on so many levels.

It wasn't like that for the HTC Desire at least, back in 2011 when I rooted mine I simply ran the Revolutionary utility and it was unlocked.

And that's not distributed via any of their official channels. That's a hack.

Edit: my intention was there is no official way of doing it, and conveniently forgot to say so in my original comment. That was unfair on my side, sorry.
