Had to chime in here.. It's really think SPL locked. Essentially the bootloader never signals that area of the controller to fire up the FM capabilities of the BCM chip. Like the imagio does, or the GSM based phones. So then the OS boots and never sees a FM tuner. Kinda like if you had a new machine/pc built and the bios didnt detect the hard drive, then the OS wont see it either. Now it's different with phones as most of the code is writen by the phone manufacturer, so they tell the microcontroller what devices to turn on.
Maybe I shouldnt say locked, maybe a better term would be "Not enabled". Now that we have an unlocked phone, thanks to cmonex, oli and elite team, I can test some items I was working on back then. Now if HTC would just give me the full source. <--LOL
