Hi, I have some questions with rooting and unlocking the bootloader for 2.3.4. I had no problems rooting on 2.2. But I would like to try the alien rom, but I have read so many different way to root 2.3.4. Do I need to unlock the bootloader first? And what is the best/safest way to root 2.3.4

Hi. Iam on ota 2.3.4. Do you need to unlock the bootloader in order to obtain root, & teathering? Also after i unlock the bootloader is there a rom that has root and teathering included without having to use adb commands? Rooting was easy on 2.2 but there seems to be alot more steps to root 2.3.4

Use preinstall root to gain root (eval gave script commands. Just copy and paste) unlock is not required. There are a few roms but not too many with built in root. I only know of kens gingerbread build

i believe the OTA update to 2.3.4 officially unlocks the bootloader.... someone may have to confirm.
you will not need to unlock bootloader in order to get root. they are independent.

No.
2.3.4 instead of unlocking the BP it updates it. And if you unlock and then flash sbf with older version of BP(1.8.3 or older), you will get a hard brick!!!
They didn't unlocked the BP officially.
Unlocking became from a leaked version of their 2.3.4 update!
See pudding thread in dev section for info.
Agree with root and unlocking.

Hi,
I want to unlock the bootloader, but in the n00b guide everything is for 2.3.4
I am in 2.2.2 (4.2.11.retail.en.FR) and I tried to update in the settings but it told me that my device is updated.
So, how can i update to 2.3.4? I want to updated with the Stock Gingerbread Rom via fastboot. But i need to have the bootloader unlocked....
How can I do it?
Thank you
You should be able to flash any sbf. Seeing as how the only way you brick is by going backwards. Look on that forum again and there is a link to a seperate website which will tell you how to do it on either version.

I know, i know i am a noob, but i have a question. If i root my Motorola Atrix, did that unlock the bootloader. I want to install the ROM Aura and in the Requirements: it said you need an unlocked bootloader, and i know i am rooted but not sure if i have an unlocked bootloader. Any help?
Rooting does NOT unlock the bootloader. What you need is use the IHOP (AKA Pudding) method.
Info about that is in the Dev section. Just search for IHOP and that will give you the info about how to unlock the BL...

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.

I updated to v20f via OTA update first. Then rooted using LGPwn method. Is there a sure way to unlock the bootloader, or no? New to the forum, sorry if posted in the wrong area.
A sure way no, for example: i followed the instructions to unlock bootloader but still its locked
But many people followed and successfully unlocked the BL. The only way to know is try it yourself. At moment im with locked BL and rooted, waiting for a new way to unlock it
