First off i wish to apologize to everyone...I had no idea that this will bork your 4g and i have been working almost non stop trying to get it fixed but i am afraid it is beyond the scope of my reach. I honestly feel that it is indeed similar to the original evo unlock with the loss of rsa keys and i am trying to figure out a way to backup and restore said keys. i know there is a tut for the evo but different file system and structure so its' going to take some digging.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO UNLOCK
Unlocked SBF
FASTBOOT
WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF FASTBOOT
Download the Unlocked SBF and flash with RSDLite like you would any other SBF
After flashing the unlocked sbf you will need to turn off your phone to put the phone in fastboot mode(hold vol down while pressing power then once you see fastboot press the volume up)
Using your cmd promt cd to your fastboot(example: cd c:\android-sdk\tools\moto-fastboot directory)and Run “moto-fastboot oem unlock”
You will see
C:\Data\Sunfire\HW\Security_Tokens>fastboot oem unlock
... INFOUnlocking your device can permanently VOID your warranty.
INFOThis process cannot be reversed. If you wish to proceed,
INFOreissue the unlock OEM command containing the unique ID
INFOof your device: ########### (device generated ID will appear in this like not number signs)
OKAY [ 0.002s]
finished. total time: 0.002s
Using the UID provided above. Run the below command.
Run “moto-fastboot oem unlock ###########
NOTE: DO NOT reset phone between commands.
When you power cycle the phone “unlock” will be seen on start up screen (Red Moto logo)
[SYSTEM.IMG FOR UNLOCKED DEVICES ONLY] {YOU WILL LOSE DATA AND YOU HAVE TO BE OK WITH THAT BEFORE USING THIS METHOD}
Once you're booted you will need to regain root by any of the working methods in other threads or by flashing a system.img (THE IMG IS INSIDE THE RAR JUST EXTRACT IT)in moto-fastboot created by the2dcour, then getting superuser.apk from the market.
0) Make sure your phone is charged.
1) Boot your phone in to fastboot mode, connected to PC.
2) At the prompt/cmdline type moto-fastboot flash system system.img
3) Make sure you have superuser app installed from market.
4) Enjoy!
Instructions ganked from the2d...YOINK!
[DO NOT FLASH THIS SYSTEM.IMG IF YOU ARE NOT UNLOCKED]
I recommend this method of gaining root as it is much easier than previous methods.
want to thank edgan and the2dcour for all their hard work and help with releasing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and of course he who remain nameless...TYVM FINE SIR!
Wow. Wish i had a resume and good background Love to help anyway i can. Good luck Yay...

I started developing 5 years ago for the HTC Vogue. I was one of the most well known developers for that particular device. I created the diamond theme rom and was the first developer to successfully port Manila 2D to the Vogue.
I then began working with NFSFAN on OpenGL drivers for windows mobile for the Vogue. We came close, but never got it stable enough to be usable.
After that I ported the entire leaked HTC Mega ROM to the Vogue and has it running without bugs in under a day. After that I went to Android and retired from development until the Motorola Photon 4G. I announced this would be the first device I would publically develop for.

Super secret? maybe rooting without HD dock. If we can adb push pulse in to local/tmp, we might be able to root p4g without dock.

and what is this ?

Thank you.
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.

Finally got the ICS update today here in Dubai. lot of excitement during installation.
Guys if you haven't received the update yet please be patient you will receive it.
ICS looks good especially the Home Screen. No wallpaper Scrollable function present but overall it looks good and nothing great about it. Have to wait and see the performance.
The interface is okay nothing much new.
HTC will soon announce the Phones which can be upgraded to Jelly bean 4.1. it seems they wont delay like they did for ICS. I'm sure EVO 3D will be compatible with Jellybean 4.1. :laugh:

It is Elitasat. My Hboot is 1.49.0011. I don't think it has got anything to do with Hboot and if your phone is locked with S-ON surely you will be able to install it. I'm sure you will receive the update if you had purchased it in UAE.
Hey all, before I had a Motorola Defy, now I am with an Atrix 4g
My basic question is, what should not do to brick my phone? should I update it? Like I said, I came from a Defy, Defy has a locked bootloader so it is almost impossible to brick it, now I am a little scared with the Atrix hehe. Thanks !

you shoudn't flash an sbf file that is not the same as your current version. to update or not to update, that is entirely up to you. if yoh're satisfied with a gb os (2.3.x), don't upgrade. if you want ics (4.0 4) or jb (4.1.x-4.2.2), then update. just unlock the bootloader, root your phone, and enjoy

you could if you wanted, but most of the updated versions are available through the rom superthread thread in the development section. just be sure to pay attention to carrier specific roms if you chose to use one of them. and i did just see your post in another thread saying that you were on froyo. after seeing that, i would say yes, upgrade your phone to a better os. gb works great, ics and jb work well and will work better now that we have the new kernel, but expect bugs to be present, but they are still very usable roms

Hey guys its been a while since ive been on xda but i just got a g3 and i used the the verizon upgrade assistant to upgrade to 35B since i have pageplus and can't take the OTA. But now i want to upgrade to marshmallow and the verizon assistant keeps saying up to date. If i right click the icon in the taskbar and check for upgrade it'll download the upgrade and ask me to install but when it opens it goes back to showing up to date. I'm completely stock with no root and would like to stay like that so is there a simple way i can upgrade or trick the upgrade assistant to continue the upgrade? Thanks

You have to have a Verizon sim card for that to work. But here on xda there are kdz for all the different versions. Just search for how to flash kdz and you'll find instructions on how to do it. Then you'll be able to upgrade to marshmallow
