Hi guys, I've had a Desire HD, Xoom and TF700 in the past and all of them needed to have an unlocked bootloader in order to flash custom roms.
Is it the same here?
Because rooting went very easy here, done in half a minute thanks to the cf method
nope, it's unlocked
Bootloader is by unlocked by stock.. But verizon version has a locked bootloader.

Thank you both
I indeed have an EU i9300 so I was able to flash a Rom very easily.
I just didn't trust the whole process cause it seemed too easy! xD

You wouldn't know what kind of tools they would use to test to make sure your phone is still valid for warranty, they may as well use an unsigned sin file to test whether you have done stuff on the bootloader.
So my advice is don't do anything yet until you get your phone back from the service centre.

I was talking to my mate actually who knows loads of stuff about SE and the way they work etc and he said the tool they use to check, Emma I think it's called, hasn't been updated since April so they won't be able to pick up anything to do with the BL for now
No, not even with a nandroid backup

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

If you go custom ROM, then ya Root is usually built in. CM7 I know has it...

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...

Why would you?
On the S2 or the Note samsung added a new bootloader wich was hard to hack and thus rooting became difficult. By flashing the old bootloader rooting was possible again. This isn`t the case here.

I want to update because I want to stay up to date to get the more of my phones. I have two i9300 and the outdated one, always is the loser in all things, also presents a laggy UI
The bootloader has absolutey nothing to do with any of your problems.

I really wouldnt do it, you would be silly to do it, devs always say not to mess with bootloaders. Bootloaders have nothing to do with the problems you are describing, if you get lag then update to jelly bean, I am using it and it is very smooth and silky.

Seriously though why do you want to update your bootloader?
Are they the same model, firmware, kernel? If so factory reset them both and test both devices..
What makes you think it's the bootloader anyway, do you know what it does?
My solution at this moment was to update to I9300XXELLA, it includes a Bootloader update
As the title states I rooted with framaroot, so what do I have to do next fars as the bootloader and recovery. Can someone please help?

Use Casual in Original Development section.

Well I'm already rooted but do I have to unlock the bootloader first then do the recovery
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I was dumb and I didn't read the forums before I went ahead... I rooted with framaroot and then I tried to flash a custom recovery and got the unauthorized software triangle . So don't so anything else!
Yes you definitely have to unlock your bootloader before you put anything else on there or else you might risk bricking your phone.
And yes casual is the only method I'm aware of..... so just look to the original android development forums and there will be a topic on how to do it

Bro its been said twice use casual... And read a whole bunch first so we have less of these threads which honestly shouldn't exist. Casual is the name of the toolkit that is used to unlock the bootloader.
