Hey all,
I'm fairly new to unlocking/rooting (I'm from the simple iPhone jailbreak world).
I have my Atrix 4G rooted with no issues and ClockworkMod installed... that was the easy part it seems.
Where I am struggling is to figure out IF I can unlock my Atrix 4G and if it is safe to do.
I am running Android 2.3.6 on the Bell network. I see a bunch on unlocks for bootloader 2.3.4 and am confisued if that bootloader version has any relation to the android version? How can I figure out what bootloader I have? Would it also be 2.3.6?
If it is indeed 2.3.6, is it possible to unlock, I see no specific unlocks for that version.
Thanks,
You cant install a different recovery with out being unlocked. so if you can boot into CWM then your phone is already unlocked.
Where did you get the phone? was it new?
Its possible if its used that it was already unlocked and someone RSD back to stock for sale purpose, if its new and you havent unlocked yet then you dont have CWM installed.

Sorry should have been a little more clear, I have installed ROM Manager and choose the CWM install, but I cannot boot into it, I get a boot error 2 (I think). Sorry phone is at home now so I can't recall exact error will post later.
I got phone 6 month ago, was used phone. I am fairly certain its not unlocked because I cannot boot with CWM, hence cannot install custom ROM.
Thanks for the reply.

You don't need to be unlocked to have CWM on your Atrix. I had it on at least 1.83 if not the original stock firmware. I know it was possible with only root on 1.83 because that was what I was running up until a month ago and I had CWM on it with a locked bootloader.

Right, my phone is rooted so I have CWM, just can't boot it. My understanding is because I need to unlock, but I don't know how to unlock because I don't know how to figure out what bootloader I have.

Locked or it just didnt say unlocked at the top? two very different things.

dur im pretty sure that unlocking the boot loader allows unsigned code to run at boot, I could be wrong but I think you two are out to lunch on installing CWM with just root.
That or you can install it but you cant run it because the boot loader wont allow something with out motorolas signature to execute. making the point of if it is or is not, installed, a moot one. Aside from the fact you no longer have any sort of a functional recovery mode.
There is a LOT of info on how to unlock the bootloader and its not exactly hidden. I dont know if its even still done with RSD but that would be a place to start as that is how I did mine in sept of last year.

Yes I see what your saying, but I am saying that I cannot run CWM. I can only install onto my SD card. But the boot in recovery does not work (ie it will not run CWM). I'll post the error little later tonight when I try at it again.
I realize there is lots of info on unlocking bootloader and I am not concerned about doing the unlock, once I find a way to verify my bootloader version. Ive seen a few posts warning that bootloader must be v 2.3.4 or you can brick the phone.
So I guess ultimately my question is, how can I figure out my bootloader version? Have not seem this answers after some googling.

Read that and your version will be in settings and then about phone. although I do believe that 234 and 236 unlock via the same method.
If you are going to install Custom roms CM7/9/10 or a blur based then you dont need to even worry about root. otherwise there are instructions in that thread to root that SBF

I'm positive it was locked, running 1.83, and had CWM on it. I bought the phone at an AT&T store myself. I rooted it and put CWM on it. The early version of CWM for the Atrix only was accessible by turning the phone on while plugged into the wall charger that came with the phone.
I bricked my DX when i installed Sense.Revolution.R5 and then i installed all ****s that can install and my phone was laggy and buggy.But that isn't the problem.I try it to back on stock rom and my phone is dead now.I have RUU_PROTO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_1.18.401.1_Radio_10.21.40.06U_1.10.40.23_release_295191_signed and i read that i need to remove root accses and lock boothloader...But when i lock it my phone can't turn on anymore...And to back on stock Need to be on...What to do now ?!?!!??!

Did you reinstall Stock Recovery before you locked the Bootloader?
No...The first time i install it and the relocked boothloader and then was tottaly dead cuz cant boot and i cant use recovery to flash anything...And i forgot but im afraid cuz if i cant turn on phone and use recovery...So i need to flash stock recovery and relock bootloader and all will be ok ?!

You need to have an unlocked bootloader in order to flash the recovery. Can you boot into your bootloader screen? If so, you should be able to unlock your bootloader again and then you can flash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader and then run the RUU.
God...Thanks man! You save my DX x10 Youre right...I do what you told me...I was following steps that says phone must be on...Now everything is ok Thank you
One more question...Now everything is stock right ?!?! I can recive and install updates ?

hi i need help. so here is what happened. i have a sprint htc one max. i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. flashed a custom rom on it and had it flashed to page plus and no problems with the phone. when i saw that it could be unlocked. i tried the steps to relock my bootloader and then things when wrong. i relocked my bootloader but now i am stuck in bootloader mode and cant enter recovery. i have been reading in the forums but nothing seems to be a clear solution to me. i tried to install the RUU from sprint and it wont load. i get ERROR 133 (if i am not mistaken) and when i try to find the phone on adb it wont show up. so now i am hoping someone can guide me or show me what i need to do. if not i guess i have a new fancy paper weight hahaha. thanks guys appreciate it.

Does bootloader mode work? If so, you can use the ruu zip on an sd card to fix your phone. You can follow the instructions in my vzw ruu thread for option to. Just make sure you use the Sprint zip instead of mine.

I just got this phone from Boost Mobile and sent away for an unlock code. Afterwards I wanted put on a very basic ROM.
I havent done this is a while and saw some instructions on how to root and unlock the boot loader. Is rooting necessary?
Also, the stock roms people were posting are for the XT-2041 Sofia. Will this work? Thanks for any guidance.

If you want to install a different rom, the bootloader needs to be unlocked.

I'm not rooted, but have Resurrection Remix installed. So, no.
I think its not possible for Boost Mobile Moto G Power (2021)
The OEM Unlock is greyed out and I cannot get it unlocked. The phone has internet, I had to activate it and get a line, but it still wouldnt unlock.
I think this is the main first step to being able to do anything? Is there ways around it?

Probably not.
Sometimes the allow oem unlock toggle is greyed out for a few days.
For some software channels, there is a delay that starts after connecting the internet.
Also sometimes a factory reset is necessary, then reconnect to internet.
Thanks for the info. I tried the factory reset without any luck. I guess Ill wait a few days and see if it unlocks.
I waited a couple days and OEM unlock toggle worked! I've unlocked the bootloader. Thanks for the help!
