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.

Anyone know if you can using pudding after using the OTA 4.5.91 ATT Gingerbread update?
A lot of bricking going on so I didn't want to flash anything without verifying first.
Otherwise does anyone know if you can regain root with the locked bootloader?

Yes, I used pudding afterwards, but preinstall method works on locked BL. Bell users have used it
Yep just what jruweaver said. Preinstall flash works great. Rooted and locked rocking 4.5.91.

Jruweaver,
Im am on stock OTA 2.3.4 via update.zip in android recovery.
Not rooted, nor have I ever run any pudding/unlock flash.
Am I stuck on OTA? Concerned because I don't want to RSD flash and hard brick.

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

READ carefully and others input.
So I am rooted on gingerbread 2.3.4 using Pete's root tool. My question is do I have to be unlocked to install the Alien Rom I do have a CWM mod but its not the newest because from what here you have to be unlocked to install that as well
Yes you need to unlock

Yes you have to have an unlocked bootloader to load the newer roms on your phone

Thanks for the info and that sucks things were easier before I updated to gingerbread. Ok so if I unlock my bootloader and something goes wrong down the road can I restore it back to factory so it can be sent in for repairs
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...
