Hi there guys/girls,
Does anyone know whether it's possible to unlock the UK Atrix (orange variant) bootloader as of yet or even whether it will be able to be unlocked?
Any help is appreciated,
Ron

Ok first off I want to thank everyone for all the great info, I have been able to root my US Cellular motorola electrify but I recently realized that it did not work like my droid X (Verizon) when I Auto rooted it and flashed Liberty Rom for it.I tried flashing cm9 ROM several times and bricked my (electrify) phone each time but luckily I was able to figure out how to sbf from rsd from team us cellular. I realized I need to unlock bootloader (pudding) my electrify which is running android 2.3.5. I have tried everything in this world to unlock it and I cannot seem to get it. I have tried with RSD 5.6, 5.5, 5.4.4 5.3 and I also tried with different sbf files from here on XDA. none go through and on my phone I always recieve an error. I know everyone says its ok its suppose to be like that, well I follow instructions and go to cmd and do fastboot and it says infooem unlock is not implimented okay? [0.002s], there is only one thing I have not tried and I cannot seem to find the large pudding_stock_unlock.sbf ANYWHERE! I believe it is 403mb. I have searched for hours for it using everything I can and I still get to the 1mb file which does nothing for me. I even tried using 235pudding.sbf but still nothing. I need someones help please. sorry i posted here but Devs wont let a "noob" post in development section. I really really want ICS cm9 beta on my phone. please help
As far as im aware if your on 2.3.5 your SOL for unlocking.. Unless someone pretty recently has found a new exploit for it that I haven't seen. And this IS the proper place to post questions like this, the Development Section is for Roms/Kernels and the such. Basically big dev things, not questions about how to do things.
No unlock solution for 2.3.5.

O feel your pain. O switched recently and I came from Samsung. With the new electrifies on 2.3.5 the boot loader is locked. We are stuck till the next update. Sucks, but its a reality for us

Sorry for this noob question, but I am a noob, so i'm allowed ,
Is it the same as unlocking a GSM phone? Will unlocking the CDMA portion of the electrify allow me to use the phone on other CDMA networks worldwide (like unlocked GSM phones)?
If that is not why we are unlocking, why are we unlocking the electrify? What benefits does it have to the intermediate-advanced user?
on side note (may require another thread); I have rooted my electrify. How do I get rid of the US Cellular splash (boot up) screen? or is that why I need to unlock the phone?
thanks in advance,
CTB

You've got your unlocking confused. They're talking about unlocking the bootloader here, the Photon and Electrify are not SIM locked (but are restricted from working on North American GSM networks with compatible frequencies, for example, AT&T). The CDMA radios will be carrier locked to Sprint or US Cellular for the Photon and Electrify respectively, those doesn't get 'unlocked' per se - it's possible to flash CDMA phones to different carriers, but it isn't easy.
Bootloader locking is completely different, it's a sort of failsafe that checks the kernel and/or ROM for a certain signature before it'll boot the device. Locked bootloader means no custom kernels, which in turn means certain ROMs or distributions like Cyanogenmod will not function properly as they require (or simply benefit greatly from) certain elements of custom kernels.
If you want to change the bootscreen, just root your phone and replace bootanimation.zip from /system/media.

This unlocked means for bootloader unlocked, not CDMA unlock.
Photon can use other CDMA other than sprint, you just must know MSL/SPC.
I don't know about electrify, is it same like photon for inject it with other cdma operator.
I use my photon using cdma in asia, so it not sprint for sure.
New to this forum and rooting but I've owned an Atrix for a long time now. Mine has 2.3.6 loaded and nd I don't need help with rooting; I got that far and verified with an app that I indeed have root access.
My intent is to get the phone unlocked. What i found here nd other forums is the procedure for unlocking the 2.3.4 version and they say the process for 2.3.6 is different. I am very afraid of bricking my device so need help in this from anyone who has unlocked after upgrading to 2.3.6 and tried out custom roms. Some relevant Useful links also welcomed.
I am using an At&T version of Atrix bought in the US, but using in India as it is carrier unlocked to be used with any sim.
Thnx in advance
Please if anyone could help me on this. I cant find any strong information about this.
