The Arctic ROM is by shady_lanem, an EternityProject Team Member, not me
Anyway guys, calm down, please!
From what we're discovering, it should only be a really strange bootloader, still not giving us possibilities to unlock our devices.
I hope we'll find out more.

Hello Razr users. I was just wondering if you guys have tried doing something similar to what we did to unlock the Atrix and Project Cheesecake. Im brining this up because if you can do the same thing i strongly believe that you will be able to find an OTA file with an unlockable bootloader. The fact that you guys have an impending ICS update only ups the likelihood that you will be able to find one. Ours for the Atrix was found close to our impending Gingerbread update. Only a suggestion but i suggest trying it. I will link to the Project Cheesecake thread once I dig it up.
EDIT: Here is the original thread for Project Cheesecake - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164582
The mod here is going to need porting to work for you guys or it may just not work at all. I cant do it because I have no real relation to the project other then being the guinea pig and coming up with the name nor do i have any dev experience

Hmm. That'd be this, but it's not supposed to actually brick the phone when 'blown', just chuck it into recovery mode. Of course, that was circa Droid X, it may well behave differently now.

Hey,
I'm from Brazil and I just got an Atrix from a local operator.
The version is that one from the title.
I was just wondering if i can flash any other sbf (so I can eventually flash a gingerblur or something like that).
Thanks!
Second it, since I would probably be getting the same version (I'm from Argentina), Were you able to get root access?
i'll try it right now..
i just got the phone yesterday!!!
I'll post the results...
Can't root with superoneclick
it do not accept the OLYFR_U4_1.26 spf...
i think, by now, i'm stuck!!
Try the GladRoot script... not super 1 click... by all accounts the Atrix dev teams think that's a bad solution. That's a different fw version than the bell or at&t, so it still may not work.
Bump, did it work?
you can't flash a sbf from another carrier. if you did, you just lost your phone for being impatient and not reading the forums.
If these versions are so different and carried by others might the bootloaders be unlocked or are these operators from south america subsidiaries of att?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Strange...that version string is similar to the Canadian Bell Atrix (OLYLA_U4_0.37.4).
another no go... this time with GladRoot v4
psneuter failed
anyone, any sugestions?

I know it would problably not work... I read about it...
but that's ok.. the phone just wont accept it, but it does before changing anything... so everything still works just as I bought it!
I can return it to the store if something goes whrong within 7 days... so that's why i'm not worried if something gets broken!
Chances are this version has all the current root methods patched, and will not be able to be rooted. I'd need a device to play around with to know for sure.
Perhaps the rest of the international versions are the same? what about the korean, or the Uk version?

Hi,
I've created a dump using the information provided at the modaco link above. As I never did it before, I don't know if it's correct. I used the following command "busybox tar cvf dump.tar /system". Here is the link:

When I tried to flash SBF 1.5.2 I got the following message (at phone): "sec_exception: febe, 35, 35" (or something like that). I'll be happy to provide more information if needed.
Cheers,
Thiago Souza
Root for this SBF
Follow the guide in my signature. This should work for all future SBFs
BTW, I would update to the Telstra one which is leaps ahead of the SBF you guys have gotten.
Whats the diference between ours and the telestra?
Many improvments?
Under the telestra one can we flash custom sbfs?
Tks
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Okay so I tried using the main SBF tutorial on the dev forum here and that SBF file didn't work for my Milestone X2. I'm pretty sure the main problem is that I'm on ACS (Alaska Communication Systems) and they're using 2.3.6 and probably some strange baseband versions. I got some "boot error 1" or something.
Anyway, I can't find a .sbf file for the ACS version of my phone. I was able to get the phone to boot again using this nTelos sbf, but I wasn't able to make calls or anything and saw a flashing triangle on my status bar.
So I guess a few questions I have are..
1) Does anyone know of a .sbf file that would work for this?
2) Can I somehow edit the nTelos ROM to work with my carrier?
3) If I take it to ACS will they be able to flash the sbf file for me? Or at least supply me with it....
4) Have I voided my warranty by doing this?
Any information is helpful. Thanks!

Figured I'd give everyone a quick update. I got the phone replaced. I went in and played dumb. She asked if I tried to root it and I said "what's that? I think I've got a virus!!" She had no idea how to fix it so she just gave me a rapid replacement.
I would really like to get the SBF files so I can at least try the 2.3.6 root and not worry about messing it up this time, but any company in Alaska is pretty hard to deal with for anything at all.
Thanks for your help XDA! I miss my Skyrocket
I'm not sure if flashing a sbf file voids warranty. I imagine that it does because if done improperly or the sbf file is bad it could brick the phone. You're most likely going to have to take the phone to them.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
you probably have to flash your phone in a similar method as a flash to cricket or metropc wireless except with your carriers information.

Not sure I fully understand, could you give a little more information please? Kind of nervous about taking it in.
was it just the flashing triangle that means you have to activate the phone?
maybe that's all you need to do?
SBF files are given to us by Motorola. I wouldnt think you would void your warranty by using them unless its a leaked version or something. But even then, you could play stupid and just say you didnt know. They might buy it.
I mean if all else fails ask for an sbf from your service provider.

Many thanks I shouldn't have made the attempt to downgrade first in the first place. This time I think I'll just attempt a simple root, which I've read worked for another ACS Milestone X2 2.3.6 user. After a root I can install ReRecovery and make a NANDROID backup right? Just in case anything goes wrong again? I haven't fully looked into it since I'm not rooted yet, but I'm assuming ReRecovery is just another thing similar to ClockWorkMod, which I have experience with. Too bad there are no 2.3.6 roms that I've seen :< I really hate this stock ROM and all its bloat.

yes, I do not blame you. There are parts of the stock rom I like but generally I do not like it. I just rooted my phone 2.3.6 method and it worked. My only advice is to download Super user from the market before you start the process.

I do want to help, but do not want to risk anything until I can get my phone setup to a point where I can always flash back to this ACS 2.3.6. Is that essentially done once/if I get ReRecovery on the phone?
Yea RR should be flashed whenever you leave cwr!
You could test on your acs.

Yeah I wasn't going to try, I run ARLiberator and I didnt pay $30 for nothing. Seriously considering the highly advocated leak though now that I have actually taken the time to read through the PSA and thread comments.
I'm kind of a noob though, I don't understand a lot of the intricacies of programming. Am I correct in assuming that if they are able to build a custom kernel with this unprotected firmware, it will be possible to install non TW roms Like CM11 one day?

if the kexec module is perfected it will allow us to 2nd boot a aosp kernel and in turn run aosp roms like cm11,aokp,gummy etc. this is a hard task but having the opportunity to use it is a very good thing

Hey Everyone,
If you are reading this thread you care about the LG v10 getting rooted on android 6.0 Marshmallow! Great, so here is what's happening behind the scenes at the moment. Right now there are two different possible ways our phone is going to get root, there are two different people working on a general root. The one is going through a tough time and is taking some time to himself, which is okay, somebody's life is more important than a root method. The second guy just had a post to xda about him rooting the LG k10, now there is no guarantee this will work on our V10 buuuuuttttttt, this is very similar to what our first guy is working on so a few modifications and we could get something up and running, whichever comes first. We've been waiting a long time and I understand that. I know it can be discouraging and frustrating. You will have a weekly update from me on what is going on with the status and if something fails and we give up in any sort, you will know about it. I promise we are trying to find a way! You guys have any comments or questions I will be posting another thread with the link below. I will gladly respond to any questions or information you have for me! It can be a simple question or in depth, I can help you out and save you time! You may post on this thread buy let's keep it cleaned up because this is where I will post updates and the root method once it's finished! Don't get discouraged, we will find a way!\
Sincerely,
@abine45 and @alvinator94
UPDATE 2/19 :
Hey everyone,
I got some good news! Today, we are working on packaging up the root, this is not tested, so no guarantees that this will work, but it should! I am not going to give details right now about how we are trying to obtain this until It's tested. I might have a select few test along with us after our test just to be extra positive it works. With this, though I have more news, if this does work, we could very possibly obtain twrp!!!! That's our next step after root. It would most likely be released together! That is all for today!! PLEASE COMMENT BELOW IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TEST!!!!

Thanks dude!
I'll start tomorrow maybe after I get off work if I'm not too tired. No promises
I just want this to be like my old m8. An active community though I realize we aren't dealing with a flagship here, I'm still going to try to contribute somehow.

Nice to see some development interest for this phone!
Maybe it's too early to know but recovery for T Mobile variant will be the same as Android One?

If I had the device I'd take a gander at making a recovery. I'd even make a CWM just for the fun of it if possible. Keep in mind I've never ported a recovery but I don't imagine the process is that difficult.

My guess is that the Android One variant will have A/B partitions for seamless updates, so there's going to be a different recovery and install method. All devices endorsed by Google since the launch of the Pixel use the new partition table and this results in difficulty in 3rd party development. Pixel doesn't have an official LOS ROM yet and just got official Magisk last month. It's going to be a rough start, but the community will grow.

We are able to unlock the bootloader, Which means we can go Super CID. With Super CID we can flash (in DL mode) a magisk patched boot.img , and achieving root access. So next will be porting a recovery........ Get to work.

You don't need SuperCID to flash a boot.img. That's simply incorrect.
Also, there was a link posted in the U11 TWRP thread to a test TWRP build for the U11 Life. Not sure if anyone tried it, but there were also device files uploaded, so it's probably a good place to start.

Technically yes and no , there arent any Tmobile boot img's floating around, so it has to be another GSM boot img. To ensure there are no hiccups being SuperCID wouldn't hurt.

I repeat: SuperCID has nothing to do with flashing a boot.img. You can literally flash any boot.img that fits on your device (with a proper header & dtb) if the bootloader is unlocked. CID isn't involved. In fact, SuperCID leads to issues with Carrier customization on newer devices, and RUUs will only flash on devices with the correct CID, not SuperCID. I think that happened around the time of the M9 Marshmallow or Nougat update.
In fact, you don't even have to flash the boot.img. You can simply fastboot boot it, and you should still be able to achieve root. And then you can back up the stock boot.img so there IS a T-Mobile boot.img "floating around." If someone just downloads one of the RUUs from Easy Firmware, uses the Decrypt Tool to extract it, and then Magisk to patch it, it should be possible to dump all of the stock T-Mobile device partitions.
Haven't seen you around since the Evo LTE. But I may be getting the U11 Life pretty soon, so I should be able to contribute in some way or form to the development of the device.
Anyone try that test TWRP build in the u11 thread yet? I'm thinking about it..

u know the risks I looked through the source it has sd660 not 630. So I'm not sure what would happen but we won't know till someone finds out. Also I'm not sure if all the partition info would be the same.

I paid the 15 dollars from easy firmware hopefully it's not a scam website and real files. I'm down loading one now. I'll keep you posted

You don't even have to flash it. Just fastboot boot it from the bootloader and see if it works. That makes literally zero changes to your device. Nothing to risk at all.
Also, if you're not willing to soft brick your device for the purpose of testing, then there's no way you'll ever have a working TWRP.

It's a real website, and the files are all real. If you grab the combined signed RUU for the 617 region, you should be able to patch the extracted boot.img with Magisk for root.

Thanks and I'm willing to do anything it takes. I know the brick won't be forever I've been getting HTC since the evo days. I really do appreciate all your help.
