You can only install joker skinny using bootstrap, otherwise your just SOL unless someone figures it out.

I have unlocked my 2.3.5 bootloader. It only works from a specific situation so far though.
-I have NEVER done an sbf
-My Electrify was shipped with 2.3.5, not updated from 2.3.4 via OTA
If you fit both of these qualifications go to teamuscellular .com, electrify development forum and the thread titled 2.3.5 locked bootloader work around/fastboot and follow the guide in post #72. (sorry, can't post links yet)
I would encourage reading the entire thread, its a bit confusing but worth it.

Can somebody point me, to a thread that has SBF, modified with removed bootloader stuff? (of att gingerbread version)
I have unlocked BP, and dont want to "update" it.
I dont want to use cwm/fruitcakes or something else.
I want to make a new clean install.
On superthread on dev stickies section, users says that all sbfs are locked.
Thanks for the help!

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...

Hello,
I have unlocked my photon using fastboot. It also has a bunch of other things done to it, but I know how to undo those and return it to stock from those mods.
My Question:
What is the easiest method to relock the bootloader after I have unlocked it using fastboot?
TIA
Easiest is to flash the current sbf through rsd lite.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Tho its easy to flash the latest sbf the pudding remover takes less time to flash. They're both good methods

my friend wants me to root his atrix 4g which is running android version 2.3.6 stock. And his phone has never been rooted and the bootloader is still locked. I know that I would have to unlock the bootloader. But how would I go about rooting it after I've unlocked bootloader? please someone help
Ps. Already have moto drivers installed because I have a moto xoom

If you are gonna unlock the bootloader, then you would probably be looking to load a custom ROM. That's really the only reason for unlocking the BL.
After your BL is unlocked, many custom ROMs (like CM7) come with root privileges already...

Yes im planning to flash a custom rom. So I could just unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and then flash a custom rom that is pre-rooted?
Because that's what I did when I rooted my xoom.

i just got a warranty replacement, and it had 2.3.6 on it.
i had to do alot of research. they have a rooting guide via adb on the atrixforum website
and the automatic bootloader unlock in the atrix development thread in xda works.
due note that alot of the NEW atrix's with 2.3.6 dont have the ability to flash sbf, which means the bootloader is unable to be unlocked. Mine worked, so i might have just been lucky

I wonder why Motorola would do such a thing unless they had some sort of contract agreement with the carriers?
All I know is when the BL code leaked, Motorola scrambled insanely fast to try and cover that up, but it was too late. Truth be told, if the BL code never got leaked I would have sold my phone a long time ago. IDK, for me personally I'm probably gonna make it a personal requirement for all my future phones to have BL unlocked before purchasing...

can't unlock bootloader running 2.3.5, which prevents you from flashing any "unlocked" rom.. ie jb,ics, or any other rom not based on 235
