[Q] Progress on Unlocked Bootloader? - Motorola Droid RAZR

I know they finally unlocked the Droid Bionic bootloader, but is there anybody working on unlocking the RAZR's? There aren't many devs for the RAZR, but surely somebody has to know how.
Check out this thread about the Bionic Bootloader if you're interested.

I believe you're mistaken, my friend.
The bionic is not unlocked.

Verizon Rejecting Motorola GB Updates?

This is interesting.
Found these links in the Moto Atrix forums.

http://phandroid.com/2011/06/29/did-verizon-reject-motorola-gingerbread-updates-for-being-overly-buggy/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Wonder if there is truth to this or not.
if it is true then +1 to verizon. tmobile or att would probably allow them even if they were buggy.
Yeah I saw that on phonearena.com this morning. I wonder how often this kinda stuff happens. Moto needs to step up their game bigtime.

Lmao are you kidding me? Have you seen how long it takes AT&T to push out updates to their android phones?
I'd rather have a buggy release sooner because devs on XDA are like 10x faster at fixing them anyways.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Maybe the update also has the possibility to unlock bootloader and Verizon is saying f*&k no, take it back.
probably not, but would suck for vzw users
Hopefully that doesn't delay the Atrix update D:
Forget that. Send it out now. I trust our devs more than moto to fix the bugs and do it better lol.

cant see where this is relevant to ATRIX... verizon doesn't carry it...

because att has most likely seen this and other carriers might follow? who knows.
think about if verizon doesnt let this release because of so many bugs, then think about if att does let it release with all its bugs. people will think att is careless, att doesnt want that im sure.. just my oppinion

It's relevant because the same or similar bugs could exist in the Atrix GB they are developing. Also, if they are putting more resources into making Verizon happy, this could delay an Atrix release.
The whole point of the thread was to raise discussion about the possible implications if this news is in fact true.
I don't think that it should have any effect on our beloved Atrix 2.3 release (AT&T version), coz the bootloader is unlocked, so even if the update will be buggy the skillful devs here at XDA will do there magic to provide us with stable roms.

I believe you are wrong. As soon as the GB update goes live everyone is going to dump the HKTW build and flash the Moto update. At that point everyone is running stock and waiting for devs to fix all their complaints. Yes most of us will not be running stock, but that will be after the update comes.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I'm not dumping the HKTW build until it's been verified that the AT&T 2.3.4 build will have an unlockable bootloader. I've had a couple of friends that got hurt by the Sprint EVO 4G update and are still stuck waiting just to get root back.

Um, I believe none of us can know exactly what will be out. For all you or I know, we could be on the verge of cm7. With most things working.
Of course, a reply I would expect from you is "the devs won't have roms out by then."

Don't forget that it depends on the carrier if they will allow it. But who knows verizon really doesn't like root users. I believe sprint is the only carrier that doesn't care what you do to your phone.

It says the will ACTIVATE with unlocked. Doesn't say they will give us an opportunity to unlock. Sneaky wording at least that's what I am taking from this until I see my x2 with unlocked BL or Verizon put a statement saying they will allow current users to unlock.

Would be a shame if I misplaced my X2 and had to report it stolen... only to get another and have to sell it for a phone that supports features I am looking for.
Just saying.
Maybe with google on board now they will unlock it since they are doing away with the nexus as a dev phone, alteast that its what I heard.

This isn't absolutely related to SBFs, FXZs and anything else.

Pity is that it will be flashable only when ICS will be out!

No, this is the DROID RAZR's. Unless they're running the same thing (which...I guess could be possible, outside of the radio-related stuff), no.

The bootloader's gotta be unlocked in order for you to flash Kernels.

board-mapphone.c:char *bp_model = "CDMA";
board-mapphone-spi.c: char *cpcap_bp_model = "CDMA"
Just a guess 'cause I didn't have time to check better:
cpcap_bp_model and bp_model should be changed to GSM or it shouldn't be changed at all. The userspace radio layer is in Android ROM and since our MDM6600 (same for DROID RAZR and RAZR) is able to work both in CDMA and GSM mode, the kernel code should be the same. CDMA as bp_model can be only for reference or for changing operational mode in the BP kernel driver.
The kernel should be exactly the same, the only unsure thing is the radio driver, anyway, in case GSM RAZR kernel will be released "too late" we can use this on the GSM RAZR relatively easily. We need in any case the unlocked bootloader for testing what I'm saying but I expect to have the RAZR (GSM) kernel prior that to happen.

That's true, but wouldn't it be wasted work since ICS would entail a new kernel from Moto to start over on anyway?
You don't really expect to see official ICS on the Razr anytime soon, do you? And yes, I know what Motorola told. I also know what they used to tell in the past.
but will this at least allow customs roms like like liberty 3 or cm7??

not yet, they aren't!
are you aware that they also said that ICS was already ready when the source came out? all they have to do is finish testing it and push it out. early 2012 is very reasonable.
Hold your breath and we'll see how well you're feeling in a few months....

Is that a OMAP device? if yes then it looks promising might want to notify hash about it :good:
edit: yes omap 3630
According to -Danik-
"Once the RAMDL was hacked , I was able to flash my own loader which is a turning point in Milestone 2 at is , and on any OMAP at all."
I'm no expert on these matters, but Google says it's OMAP too

Well so far nothing has been post in the RAZR section of the forum, but we have kexec anyways, which is a bootloader bypass. It would be nice, but it's not exactly needed, plus we weren't initially included so I don't know what that means

Using KEXEC-C10.1-20130312. Like it! Took me forever to find developer options. Wondering if and when I should enable USB DEbug. Your thoughts? I run it via Safestrap. You? I am new to this, and need to ask what may be a real NOOB Question, re INTL travel. Also, can I insert purchased Euro Sim for use in Europe? Just foggy on how boot would react? Any help is appreciated.

You can travel abroad with your RAZR no problem; but, know that if you are running CM10.1 you must patch it before it will work on Intl GSM, if you search the CM10.1 thread toy will find a link to the patch. I would link it now but I'm on my phone. If you have any other CM10.1 questions please post them on the CM10.1 thread, way more people read that thread and the support over there is great.
