What the situation with the Atrix bootloader? Has it been opened/cracked yet?
Sorry to start a new thread but all the existing bootloader related threads are a few months old now... I know Motorola made a few statements a few months back... but I cant find anything solid to go on.
This might be the deal breaker between the Atrix and the Galaxy S II which has just been given a UK release date of 1st May...
Can anyone clarify the situation for me?
Many thanks
Nothing is happening with it. Go with SGS2, pyramid, or g2x
i don't get why people keep making these threads. don't you think if something actually happens there would be an announcement?
He has a right to ask.
the devs are currently working on it
I won't give motorola my money again if this is how they want to be. Hopefully the wonderful devs will crack out soon.
does anybody know if there has been any progress?

No progress other than a broken dev atrix.

Ouch.. That's gotta hurt..
Obviously it hasn't been cracked yet, but even a dev saying they are still optimistic at this point, would mean a lot. To the OP thanks for putting on the flame suit and asking what 99.9% of us were wondering.

Perhaps I missed a post here about it...
I see the Eris is up there is it just a matter of time and patience before we see the Droid threads.. I wish I knew how to do the work on it with all you phone masters out there, but could someone share a little insight on the droid here?

You may eventually see it on the forums here but in the mean time you can check out alldroid.org
alldroid
Alldroid is a mess at the moment after the Sholes team left the forum, I've read some other devs left as well. Something about moderator abuse.
Besides, the layout really isn't the best one out there..
Enough about that, it would be great to see some more phones up here and get the expertise from teams developing for those phones.
So then where are all the developers?

fanboy much? haha I'll actually never buy a non htc phone again. razr and g1 are my only phones. ever
Since nobody else has created this thread, thought it might be a good idea to have this 1 around.
Lets get this thing rooted
Edit:: Devs working on the 2.1 Leak root, please contact me via PM. It would be great to know who all is working hard on this
BTW, JCASE is AMAZING.
I believe the individual responsible for rooting the Legend is coming back from vacation tomorrow (IF the big ass ash cloud permits flying again), and there might be a chance it can be replicated onto the ERIS. So yeah, it's a good idea to put it all in one area.
I hope it can but im not holding my breath.

Wonderful! Hopefully this will encourage more users to post progress of the rooting.
Perhaps a mod can sticky this thread?
Please sticky this thread

And please, please, please can we keep it clean and on topic! Hope to see some stuff happening here. Go root!
Bump...waiting for the root of the 2.1 leak also...I will donate to the guy or team who does..
Well its good to know they overlooked us.

If they did its because of ungrateful people like you.
Most of the devs dont have Eris' anymore let alone an Eris with leaked 2.1 to test with. Te guy who rooted the desire/legend in one fell swoop was notified and has shown interest in helping. So keep your pants on, if you have 2.1 leak its your own fault for jumping the gun.
For the record I jumped the gun too, but acquired a new Eris which is now rooted.
Sometimes minor frustration sounds ungrateful. I'm pretty sure what was being commented on was the fact that no devs addressed the subject. And, I bet the OP'er was really just trying to get the subject back up in the first page.
My conscience won't let me turn in my Eris for a mistake I made. The rest of the folks who can't or won't turn their phones in for replacement are having to hope for the best, same as me and the OP'er.
Nothing personal, meant here (more like an implied question) but I find myself curious about why someone who's already rooted, and is not apparently a dev is even reading this thread..

*sigh* I hear ya. Your gripe is totally valid. Sorry if I sounded like a jerk.
As someone in the same position as anom69, I was glad to see this thread started.. if nothing else, then to toss out a line and see whether anybody was still plying at it.. I keep picturing the "real" hackers not bothering with the cheap/free/not-so-impressively-spec'd Eris and getting, instead, (what they might term) "real" phones.. basically echoing what you stated earlier..
The story of Legend-rooter dude sounds promising. It'd be awesome of it turns into something.
It's more like "geez i can't stand to hear these people whine, maybe I will get an iphone instead".
or a motodroid.
It was kinda annoying seeing a signature that says I have root, but I'm not going to share it too. Like, why be a d!ck if you figured it out? If you don't want to share it or be bugged, don't say anything.
I do tutorials and write-ups for a truck forum. If I didn't want people PM'ing me, emailing me, or asking questions in forums all the time I wouldn't have done them in the first place. Seems simple enough: don't want attention then keep your head down.
If someone is running leak version one and doesnt mind taking a chance, come hit me up on irc.wastate.net #droideris

Scratch my last request, I will keep my head out of it. Let someone else figure it out.
Awaiting piercedtiger's how to on leak rooting.

Okay, so your going to let one dude ruin the work that would help loads of people like me???? Personally, I'm amazed at the work all the devs put into these forums and thankful.
since I have started coming here for all my information on rooting and whatnot I have noticed one major theme that pops up over and over, there are a few devs here with a holier than thou attitude, if you are doing this for fun and nonprofit as you claim to, then deal with us noobs who can't do this stuff on our own, you cry and whine when someone asks a question, like we are intruding on your personal space, we only ask because we don't know how to do this ourselves and are kinda stuck sitting watching and waiting, and when all we see are threads about new roms and such for rooted users, it kinda leaves us wondering, what about me, yes you are right we jumped the gun with installing the leak, but who told us it was ok, it was you guys, we aces our trust in you devs because we trust what you have to say, leaving is now high and dry because everyone jumped ship and got a replacement phone or a Droid or whatever, so doors that make us the bad guys because we want to know, what about us?
and a second thing, I've read a couple threads where devs are kinda claiming responsibility for obtaining root, but when in reality, while it was "obtained", it was not done so in a legal, nor reproducable manner, as I heard someone hacked HTC and found a prerooted file, so while we do hold the devs in high reguard for being able to do what we cannot, please do not be so full of yourselves and forget that you are human just like us
sorry for the rant, but getting tired of some things around here
and also, not everything here applies to all the devs, but I won't name names here

Honestly, after the way you acted last time someone "bothered" you about this I never expected to hear from you again about this let alone a solution.
So forgive me if I don't get upset about you bowing out again when someone speaks up.
How come still no froyo? the devs are still working with eclair. why is that?
A week ago...think about that one
LOL when i read your headline i knew exactly what you were going to say.

Devs here dedicate their own free time to crunch out the ROM's, if you are so impatient no one stops you to tackle 2.2 on your own.
Haven't you already bricked three phones?
Feel free to drop some mad froyo science on us. I'll flash it. Otherwise I'm perfectly content waiting for Euguene or Sombionix to give us something actually worth waiting for.

I visit the forums almost daily and there is always somebody spewing the same "if you don't like it then make your own" statement. You guys are as bad as the people asking about new roms and 2.2. The OP has a legitimate question and he wasn't rude about it either.
I'm curious too is this because the need more then the source or are they just trying to finish up the builds they were working on before the 2.2 source came out.

thank you!! these ****ing assholes think just because they know little about the phone they can say anything they want.
LOL you guys really expect developers to drop what they were already working on just because 2.2 source was released and on top of that it was released a week ago you really think there would be a 2.2 ROM out so quickly...be realistic.
BTW the person you should probably be asking is eugene373...feel free to PM him

We are just curious, we aren't demanding anything other than how things work in the dev community. At least that is what my post was about.

I think the devs still need the source code from vibrant froyo or vibrant froyo itself.... this is due to the differences in hardware between vibrant and international galaxy s

No, it's because they're on a message board that they can say anything they want.
You ask a legit question, but if you've spent any time on these boards you should know that a "Where's Froyo?" thread is going to get hammered. And if you didn't know that, you should go to the Development forum and find out where Froyo is. From my understanding, Eugene373 is going to drop a build soon.
Go follow any one of excellent chefs/architects that work on the vibrant. They seem to work endlessly in putting out new content and in fact eugene had posted a few times on his twitter about 2.2 and its coming along.
Do a bit of outside research and you'll get your information. There is a Jp3 froyo in the development section as well.
Its a legitimate question but common sense and just basic browsing of the dev thread would have given you a clear answer.

you could take what he said both ways and i mistook it as he was *****ing about no 2.2 roms yet

Hey here's an idea
Read the forums you moron
Just wondered if there were any updates as to what was up with that one guys dev device that was unbranded and did have HSUPA enabled? Did you guys get a system dump and poke through it yet?
I was wondering the same thing. Agreed that things like these don't happen overnight, but the suspense is killing me. I hope Da_G and gang haven't given up on Atrix like some other devs.
Sorry if this is incorrect but I believe that design gears said he gave up on the attic in the thread where he posted the retail sbf

But Design Gears was a huge factor in any development done with the Atrix so far so having him gone is like a kick in the face.

Well i will add some information for you guys then...
Da_G does have a dump from a Dev Atrix that had a unlocked bootloader and hsupa enabled. He attempted to write(not flash) the unlocked bootloader to a locked atrix. The write was successful. but upon further inspection it appears that moto(unsurprisingly) has this area write protected. He did successfully write it(as he read the data back byte for bye and it was the same as written) but it appears that the data is mapped to another section of nand.
This as as far as hes gotten right now, i do not know what he is currently attempting.

There is a bounty thread already, should be enough as of now to buy a new atrix if im not mistaken. Its only going to get bigger...pretty good incentive. Id be shooting for it if i knew anything more than a few adb commands..
Well based on the kick assity of the atrix I decided to upgrade to the Atrix HD. It's rough right now with a locked boot loader and no root but I'm making due. Kind of why I'm posting this. If anyone wants to help with rooting or unlocking on the Atrix HD theres a freenode irc channel #atrixhd-dev. Not my channel, just promoting. This phone is truly awesome and will be even better once we have control of it. Thanks for anyone that's willing to help or even looking at this!
There's an Atrix HD forum for a reason, nobody here really cares about this. :/
One dev from here did try to help. Didn't work out so well. Some of the devs over there are shady, dishonest, reckless, and bricked quite a few devices with their "research". Unfortunately, one of the mods deleted the posts that set the story straight. Be careful over there.
Pretty sure Atrix HD has its own section.
EDIT: Nevermind... Jumping in too late, lol.

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I will start working with the dev that registered this channel on unlocking and hopefully I won't brick my phone XD.
