Hold off for a few minutes before you SBF and risk losing your unlock. Other phones I have had, doing a similar process as sbf, has killed unlocks.
Unlock is Safe
Once unlocked its always unlocked

[Q] unlocking version 45.2.7

I just got a new photon and i was wandering if there was a method to unlock the bootlaoder. The sales rep updated the software so i have version 45.2.7 is there a way to unlock it and root it. Any ideas will help
You have a lot of reading to do. Go to the development section.
I know theres alot on the section part i just need to know which method works for this version.

I think you can run the bootloader from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216143
Flash it in RSDlite. It will fail, but don't panic. Pull the battery, and run the moto-fastboot command lines to verify that you've been unlocked. You can then root either via the photon-torpedo method, or AIO root method.
Good luck, and remember to charge your phone all the way!
Best,
K

No, there is not yet a fully functional unlocker. There's one that mostly works but it breaks 4G.
You can root it just fine, though, without unlocking it.

Yeah, you can root without unlocking. There are a few ways..I personally like the one click and photon torpedo methods.

Yeah if you want custom roms, you'll need to unlock the bootloader. It's a really easy process
1) Get RSDlite
2) Get the unlocked bootloader SBF file and flash it
3) Run the cmd lines to check to see if you're unlocked
4) Root and install CWM
5) Flash away!

Please read again. The unlocker is what breaks 4G, not root.

It's okay to ask questions, just do your best to do some research and try out the different methods...I still have a ton of questions..I'm a noob to Photon too.

[Q] Downgrade from 4.5.141 to 4.5.91

Is it possible without hard bricking the phone? The upgrade is causing WAY more trouble than it's worth and a lot happier running roms. Thanks.

Got another question but not gonna make a new post, can you use the auto boot unlocker to unlock/root 4.5.141? It's only updated to .91

I can at least keep this alive and going. Mine was previously unlocked, and, once the update applied, which did it overnight without my permission (HNNNGH), I lost it. What do I do now?

Yes /10 char
I think you will find that you just lost the unlock graphic; unlocking involves burning out one of the eFuses, so you can't relock.
Hi everone
Im using a rooted, BT UL Atrix 4G with 2.3.6 4.5.191. and Im wondering if this is possible to perform this downgrade or/to 2.3.4
I want to do that becouse my GPS takes a lot to get a fix and I had no luck with other methods like: changing gpsconfig, recalibrating compass, using different radios
Thanks
Downgrading to 2.3.4 IS POSSIBLE provided you have previously unlocked your bootloader AND you have a backup of 2.3.4 through CWM.
This is treacherous territory, and I'm not sure if there's been resolution on whether or not it's safe.
Your safest bet? Fruit cake it back to 4.5.91.
Is it possible to downgrade using RSD if the bootloader was never unlocked?

No that would brick it and you would be screwed. We already saw this issue when people tried to go backwards from GB to Froyo...

Yeah it is working fine on 4.5.141 ... Unlocked and Rooted, running Neutrino 2.8 GT
But the phone is heating up even @ 1 GHz. (no undervolt)
So was curious if flashing the ROM over 4.5.91 will help or not.
- Is it not possible to downgrade even using Nottach's method? Flashing the 4.5.91 images directly from fastboot and not bothering with RSD ?

So is it feasible?
Downgraded successfully by flashing the separate partition using moto-fastboot.

Flashing

Hi, guys could anyone give me instructions as how to flash the Motorola Atrix 4G At&T. I have rooted it. Its currently on 2.3.6 build 4.5.141. What is the best way to flash. I do not want to risk bricking. Could anyone tell me what is the advantages of a unlocked bootloader and how do I unlock it.
Any help will be appreciated

To flash ROMs, you got to unlock the bootloader first... Search the archive on how to unlock the bootloader.

Hi i have been searching and there are quite a few different threads all giving different methods. I don't know which one to follow
Here you go. READ absolutely everything before you attempt to do anything. Be patient and do not freak out if something goes wrong. You will not brick your phone if you follow the instructions.
