Just wondering if anyone is developing this for our phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/security/dirty-cow-t3484879
I'm very keen because my kenzo's USB port is busted with BL locked and non rooted lol. It charges but doesnt connect at PC at all.
Anyway back to main question;
Is anyone developing this for our phone?

Hi guys
I'm new to the forum, and new to the whole idea of rooting my phone and installing custom ROMs etc on it, but have been turned on to the idea by the delay in release of 2.1 for my handset.
Is it possible that I'd be able to root my phone and put a custom ROM with 2.2 on it onto my phone, and then say if i decided to sell it, put the original OS back on it? You know, with Timescape and Mediascape, and 1.6 back on it?
I realise this may well be a stupid question, and a bit of a chore to you guys, but could someone advise me here? I'm seriously considering rooting my phone and putting a custom ROM on it, but I'm held back by the fact that at some point I may wish to sell this phone and would like to be able to put the original OS and its skin back on it. So please, share your expertise guys
Thanks
There aren't any custom ROM's available yet cos they've not cracked the bootloader....so I wouldn't bother... all you can really do at the minute is remove apps and change the aesthetics..
Really? I thought they had already got that far... Bummer, means im just going to have to wait till the end of the month for 2.1 and hope it doesn't get put back any further.
'fraid so.

I'm not allowed to post the whole link, but it has the same prefix as this post, forum dot xda-developers dot com, then that ^^
As I said, I'm a newbie, but what does that mean? They've gained root access but not cracked the bootloader, so can't load custom ROMs?
Thanks for the help

As already stated, fraid so. But when/if it is cracked and we can load custom roms, a reflash with seus will return it to factory state.
So if you can flash it back to normal, how does the warranty become void, is it possible to tell that a different OS has been flashed onto the phone at some point?

if you flash it back to normal(stock 1.6 or 2.1) the warranty is not voided.
Ok thanks guys. What do you think the chances are of the bootloader ever being cracked? Is it a matter of time, or is it likely at this stage that its just not possible?
Hello Everyone,
I am going to be getting an att atrix today. I have been reading around the forum and feel confident enough that id be able to root and install gingerblur without bricking my phone ( have done custom psp firmware, ipod jailbreaking, xbox flashing, etc).
My question is, is this safe to do before I activate my phone? I will be porting my number tomorrow,but I wanted to know if it would be safe to install a custom rom today, and still be able to activate the phone tomorrow.
Thanks
Yes you can. Enjoy.
Hi guys I'm fairly new to the android hacking scene and am also one of the lucky guys who decided to flash GingerBread to his phone before everyone started posting about changes to the bootloader and now about fuses being burned.
Would anyone care to explain why an OTA update would burn a fuse like this? Is this some sort of software protection? Is there actual damage to the phone? Why would Motorola publish an update that does this? Please excuse my ignorance but I'm definitely confused about why they would do something that might lead to more returned devices.
Thanks much in advance.

The OTA did not burn a fuse. Unlocking the bootloader burns the fuse, which is a hardware bootloader lock (unlocking the bootloader burns a fuse. Once unlocked, always unlocked). The new OTA GB upgrade puts a different bootloader on your phone making it nearly impossible to flash back to an earlier version. If you try to RSD back to 4.1.83 for example, you will have a nice paperweight afterwards. Motorola removed the ability to unlock the bootloader from the upgrade which was just released for reasons unto themselves. Many of us have unlocked bootloaders thanks to the devs, and are on a version of GB which we can flash back from if we want.
If you are not too worried about modding, and are happy with a stock phone, i.e. stock GB which Moto released, you have nothing to worry about. Just continue to update when they release OTA updates and you will be fine.
Hi everyone i am new here and I would like to ask a question. Does custom roms, rooting, developing tricks etc. that work on a certain phone will work on another phone with same hardware...In other words are custom roms work on phones with same hardwares.For eg. Mmx a110 and a89 have the same processor,so will custom roms for a110 work for a89..If not why??
Unfortunately no, even if the 2 devices have the same hardware, the software might be installed to a different part of the flash memory.
If you flash a ROM for a different device you will brick your phone, and you might not be able to fix the damage.
how can ai install a new rom on my droid razr
Hello everyone! i own a razr XT910 gsm version, wich is 6 month old. Everything was great until last week when i decide to upgade to ICS. After upgrade my phone is much worst than before. The batery is lasting now just 6 hours no matter if phone is on or off. The second big problem is that i cannot conect to radio internet anymore, just by wifi. I was thinking to reinstall the GingerBread again coz it was working perfect. Anyone knows how i can reinstal back GB or another ROM sistem that is working good? Do i need to preinstal a special aplication for that or not?
Any answer and guide will be welcomed.
Forgive me if this has been asked and answered. I am a Fascinate newbie, just got one. It has a bad ESN which I don't care about right now although I'd like to eventually flash it to something. But here's my questions...It is on 2.2.1 stock, although I did root with SuperOneClick ... for some reason cannot get any COM ports on this phone doesn't matter the driver and dialing some of the numbers like **USBUI does absolutely nothing?
I'd also like to know what is best Android to put on here for a flashed phone (in the future) I don't want to run in to issues with flashing. Should I stay with the 2.2.1 or ?
Just looking for some feedback and if you know how to get COM port so tools like DFS or CDMA Workshop can work with the phone let me know.
So I figured it out, LOL. Flashed stock Gingerbread and put this bad boy on Verizon Prepaid.
Now I'd like to set out on a Jelly Bean what's a good one and such?
All the ones on the main page of the development section are great....
Thanks to our wonderful dev's
