Hey all,
I've just got my Atrix here in Australia and im looking at potential ROMS, for obvious reasons. Coming from a Nexus One/Nexus S im used to Cyanogen.
I found this article which indicates its possible to load CM 7.1 with Android 2.3.4 - http://mobile.downloadatoz.com/tuto...d-2-3-4-gingerbread-to-motorola-atrix-4g.html
I've searched the official site, the forum here, the first ROM Sticky and Google, but have yet to find anywhere which states that the Motorola Atrix is clearly supported by Cyanogen, nor can I find a walkthrough guide, other than the above (which looks a bit dodgy)
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers from Down Under.
Ok.... it's fake.
1 there is no D-pad to press
2 there is no sprecovery. Sbf
3 notice there are no download links?

Atrix isn't supported by Cyanogen, and I believe it's currently impossible to put a full-fledged ROM on the Atrix.
If only it was that easy though :/
The bootloader is locked on the atrix so no real roms. We are stuck with theming.

I take it you've never used the stock android recovery on the atrix? It says use the D-PAD in the on screen prompts. It means the volume rocker or use the touch screen.
Motorola Milestone have a locked bootloader and have CM7.

until the bootloader can be unlocked or bypassed don't hold your breath on any roms showing up here. Not saying its impossible. just can't be done right now. once that happens someone will have to either port it to the atrix or someone on the team will end up supporting the atrix and create a build for it.
Wonder if its too late to trade my Atrix in for a Galaxy S II =/ - Burning right now.
FWIW, Motorola said they would unlock the bootloaders in 4Q 2011.

Yeah, my interpretation is more like: There's no way in heck it will happen before Q4 2011, and even then, don't hold your breath.
Locked bootloaders have been hacked before, lets not lose hope.....
Yeah, It would just take an year or more like the xperia x10.

Can someone explain this to me? How is it possible for the milestone and not for the Atrix.
I have a Milestone 1. It has a locked bootloader. However, it is completely modded. I mean, you can install themes, system modifications, overclock, modified kernel, etc. If it can be done on Milestone, why couldn't it be done on Atrix?
Maybe a dev can answer this question...

As long as the bootloader is locked - you CANNOT change any part of the kernel... at least not on the Atrix... if it fails signature verification (which is encrpyted with an SBK) you will have yourself a nice shiny brick....
we cant do a ROM. but AOSP ROMs and Ported ROMs can still be done, just wait, the phone doesnt have enough time to get in the market properly, and all the people starts complaining about it, if you dont like it, you did you brought i the first place.
undertand that hes the first of his generation, and we need some time to learn about him!

if VZW released the DX2 in Europe (possibly with an unlocked BL) couldn't we use files off that phone to unlock our BL? (if any of this was released, of course!)
Also, the photon now has their BL unlocked, and the DX2 and Photon are cousins couldn't we try their method(s) to unlock our BL? Unless that's not possible at all.
Sorry guys, these are just random thoughts that have crossed through my head.
I don't think we could because VZW would probably put a different bl on the Europe version. And I think I read our kernel doesn't have an option to unlock it any ways, so we would need a new kernel that gets past the sig check, then try to unlock it. Could be wrong though. Still learning this stuff haha

I think so. But I'm not completely sure. I need to go back and read the bl notes thread.
But there are ways around it, like the theory of 2nd init starting a different kernel. So maybe some one could find a way around and we wouldn't have to wait for the SBF. But I think the SBF would come faster, if we get one.

true, if the photon has a sbf that's been leaked then the DX2 has gotta have one as well, or at least that's a theory

How's it running with the update? Any noticeable changes?

I'd tell you, but I had to sbf back to 2.3.4 to do anything that was relevant to unlocking the BL.

the only thing on 2.3.5 we found was a faster non-delayed lockscreen, but there may be more soon!
afaik the only markets the x2 was released was the united states and mexico.
I could be wrong though.
In the many threads we have on unlocking the bootloader there is much discussions that have been beaten to death about unlocking using other phones methods. Bottom line it just isn't possible due to kernel differences and hardware differences. Check the "project thread" in development section for more info about why.
there was a LOT of discussion about it around the time we got the ATRIX ports as well.
And the ring able to start a second kernel after ours starts needs kexec to work along with 2nd init. I don't believe 2nd init alone will be able to start a new kernel. People had worked on kexec I believe but it didn't go far. We need more of a team to get something like this wiring but as of now we have requested a couple dev teams to help us out but were told "not working on x2 at this time....busy with other projects" or something to that effect. Hopefully we will get that leaked sbf that has our unlock one day....I did hear a while ago from a little birdie that an sbf was found that had oem unlock option but it didn't work/unlock wasn't implemented so hopefully we are getting a little closer.
**don't ask me where I heard it...and don't ask for any links for proof...I have NO proof for what I say....just take it as it is....believe if u want or don't believe if u want....either way keep your eyes and ears peeled and keep trying to find us that unlock option....this phone could destroy many others if we get unlocked***

I suggest that you start your own thread, (I don't have an issue with you posting about this here), but you'd get more responses for help if you post in a new thread. The only people that will read this are the few with bootloader news, like I said, the few. But, if you ask for help in a new thread, chances are, you'll find what you're looking for. Good luck!
You can unlock your bootloader, flash cm7 (or your rom of choice), and relock your bootloader, and then voila.
CM7 with 4g.
But dont use those as exact intructions LOL.
Theyre are threads about it. Look in the dev section.
You might want to try that out before you suggest it.

It was a leak, we need a new leak from Motorola, this was not a hack at all so we can't just reuse something.
First of all, THANK YOU everyone for taking some time to answer every question. I really appreciate it. I have been reading, and reading for hours...my eyes are starting to bleed.
So... there is NO WAY we can get a better Android than the 2.3.5?
My build number says 4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0, that means I cannot unlock the bootloader, isn't it?
Is there another way (hack?) to improve the performance of the cellphone? I have root it, just to change some files I couldn't, e.g. the sound of the camera.
And finally... is it THAT bad being stucked on 2.3.5?

You can attempt the Pudding Bootloader unlock, it is unlikely to succeed, but it may be possible. You do risk bricking the device though.

Unlocked bootloader
Well, it appears that I am still the only Photon owner around with 2.3.5 and an unlocked bootloader. Unfortunately mine was some sort of freak accident that it happened. I can run run custom recovery and flash all day long. Unfortunately if I install a ROM with any other version (or maybe it's the kernal) it will not work. It will boot up fine but nothing will connect at all. I've tried almost all of them........
Alright, I'm tired of this bootloader crap! I need anyone and everyone interested in helping me get this MoPho'in bootloader unlocked on 2.3.5!
We have WAY to many people stuck on GB (after Moto said we'd have ICS ) on this beast of a phone!
Before anyone asks, YES i have the skills to do this, just not enough to do it quickly.
With that said I do bring some skills to the table.
I can program in the Android language and port just about anything anyone can come up with.
I know my tech (to put it short)
Please anyone with the same feeling as me, come help me out in ANY way possible. Even if it's just testing. I would greatly appreciate it!
Please people!

I did find some cool things inside the System partition. I rooted it up and got a file browser (ES). The blocks where the BL is has a special file called infooemenc.encf assuming this has to do with our "fastboot oem unlock" command problem. That file however was a fluke. My phone soft reset itself (doesnt like the Electrify rom) and POOF gone... Very suspicious. i had to relock to go back to photon state though

you do realize the same phone shipped months earlier on a different carrier and was locked? (and then was released later too).
moto's first device to offer unlocking services was a sprint device. rather than jumping on teh locked samsung bandwagon they are still one of teh few companies that have most of their devices unlockable. as well as their tech support doesnt care if you are rooted as if its a software issue they are going to flash stock.

Yes I know but there was a slight difference in the 2.3.5 factory Electrify that somehow caused an exploit (when i said it was easy i meant it was for me)
But still on the current matter we want this BL unlocked and there HAS to be a way! That's why people are joining up. They wanna be out of the hole Moto decided to throw us into. (After lying about ICS)

To devs:
Instead of trying to find a way to crack the boot loader why can we make a boot able sdcard that works around the bootloader? Like for the nooks the bootloader is still locked but we can run custom ROMs off the sdcard without any problems.. Just a thought..
