I very much doubt you will be able to buy a dev/test phone from any authorized retailer.

I don't see why anyone would get a dev/test phone unless it somehow, accidentally got into a batch of Retail phones...........

Chances are if you don't already know then it isn't a dev phone.

Pardon me but..

Doesn't having a locked bootloader only mean we can't permanently flash a recovery?
I mean on the moto defy the bootloader is encrypted as well but you can still restore nandroids as roms. They even have an htc sense port fully working on it. So I don't see what's stopping devs from doing something similar.
Just asking to get some information. Thank you.

Vanilla android

Is there any way to.strip it down to where u get a vanilla android experience . I was watching G2x video on phonedog and damn I had no idea the Tegra 2 was capable of that. I am running greyblur and its nowhere near what I saw

Not until the bootloader is unlocked will we be able to load anything else onto the Atrix

That locked bootloader is stabbing my Atrix with no end in sight....
I agree I hope they crack this bootloader wide open, and I like the greyblur rom but I want more out of this phone.

i dont trust lg for solid products or support for some reason.
If you can I'd suggest contacting Motorola support about this to let them know that there are lots of people wanting to be able to do this. See this thread for info:

Good call on it now

he's playing you. he's kinda rude.
there's not a lot of development going on due to driver issues. i would say so at least. so it makes things much slower. most all roms are stable with a few bugs and all ics/jb are without drivers and a few of the devs are busy with their own lives at the moment. so it makes development a lot slower!
Oh.... that means we will never have a unlocked bootloader except motorola itself unlock it....

Haha only slightly! But I'm pleanty helpful when I can be Again, this is a question that pertains to the current bootloader delima, of which there is a wealth of information within 3 or 4 threads just on page one and two of general and QA..
2.3.4 bootloader was unlockable, because Motorola allowed us to download it and use it. It was not developed! And it's the only one unlockable bootloader, we have.

I am running a version of 2.35 that was not ota but shows a reservedODM value that is unlockable. Is there a way to use this to help unlock other devices?

you could try doing the fastboot work around? if it's anything like the electrify with the 2.3.5 shipped bootloader you can easily unlock. try it out.

Okay. Looks good. Is there a way to extract logs or other info that might help the devs find a workaround or method to unlock the BL on other devices? Should anything be installed to help with that?

[Q] Downgrade for bootloader unlock?

Hey all,
So I wanted to load up a custom ROM on my DNA eventually, unfortunately I didn't read that accepting the latest Verizon OTA would not allow me to do that, and therefore I took the OTA.
I was wondering, is it possible to downgrade to the original build (1.15 i think) that shipped with the phone via an RUU? Because then I would be able to use the current unlock method, correct?
Thanks!
p.s I read around, and I didn't see anything about this, but I apologize if I missed it.
No, it is currently impossible to unlock your phone.

Thanks for a speedy reply! I had a hunch that would be so, oh well, I can live with it stock. It's really good as is!
You can pay for a jtag service.

I was about to suggest that too. Its only $45 I think for the guy in Dallas and well worth it. I've been in communication with them and they have been GREAT to work with on several issues, I'd send my phone to them in a heartbeat.
To find the thread Google "XDA DNA s off for the impatient."
