It would get a bit mad if every provider got his own board... I'm getting annoyed with all the verizon talk that's going on. But since a lot of things are universal I wouldn;t want the boards to get split up.
Just don't open threads that state that they are for the R800i or for the rogers version.
The reason why you find few useful info about the R800x is quite simple: nothing has happened: no root, no unlocked bootloaders, nada.
You USAns should exert real pressure on your carrier cartel so that you don't get different models per carrier instead of whining about other people discussing their phone.
Hey be happy you get Vanilla Android.
kidding yea it can be frustrating when the Rogers model launched I was frustrated because their was no information or anything about it here because the European model was already launched.
Give it some time it will all get sorted out soon besides there is nothing yet for the Verizon Play.
I expect root to arrive soon because most newer android handsets like the Droid3 haven't been rooted yet and even european and canadian plays can't be rooted at 2.3.3 unless you use the loophole through 2.3.2 but your device launched with 2.3.3 so that is where the problem is.
Are device came with 2.3.2 thats how lame we are

Development is off to a slower start for the VZW Play but it will pick up eventually.
Just be thankful the members of this forum aren't always saying "Search before posting noob!" like the rest of the forums out there.
adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
Ya I go into the android development section only to check the r800x root thread to see if there is an update, but I don't mind having a combined board. Just hope root comes soon.
We do not need a separate forum for one model of the Xperia Play.
The only real difference between the Verizon model and the rest is GSM and CDMA.
Verizon's model came with 2.3.2 on it but there is something blocking the Gingerbreak exploit from working, All you can do it be patient and hope that the Verizon versions see's some attention.
You cant go into every thread demanding an answer or wanting something outrageous to be done about the phone. Doing that will just piss off current Dev's and could ultimately hurt it for everyone.
Just sit back, relax, have fun with your phone, donate to help convince the devs to help us out, or complain. your call, but the last option will just get people ignoring you.

Doesn't mention the Atrix anywhere!!!
People here are just so touchy o:
It states that the first three devices are the Captivate and those others, and says that "select" devices will receive the update. I see no good reason why the Atrix would not be a "select" device, being that it's still one of AT&T's major Android phones. Just be patient.

Not touchy. The OP is saying after reading this article that the Atrix is one of the phones. It is not mentioned anywhere in the article. Nobody is being touchy. People just need to stop posting "assumed" crap and post facts. Other people need to stop assuming that the assumptions are correct and posting not one iota of supporting evidence.

In retrospect, you're probably right. Sorry about that. At least there's some news of hope on the horizon ^.^
I suggest rereading that immense topic and post totally a whopping 6 words. I don't see "Atrix" anywhere
He's simply sharing an article showing that AT&T is becoming more open, which may mean a future update for the Atrix, and, while a bit far fetched, potentially even hints at them allowing a bootloader unlock.

I was glad to see someone not let their anger at AT&T fly back at the OP so they update some of their older phones that are probably easier to do at this point. This is obviously a sign that they have realized they cant treat us like Apple does. If we really want open phones we can and will have them. So they are going to just give them too us open. It will probably cut down on warranty claims from stupid people doing shoddy jobs of rooting and flashing their phones. Im sure motorola wont leave us hanging theyve taken good care of me so far. so just be patient.
Why should I care if At&t enables side loading, we have a hack for it. Is At&t taking a page from Apple, "were adding something users already figured out how to do, we initiative!!"

Um, you can't get stuck on FroYo for rooting. If you deodex/install a P-ROM, you'll have to flash back to stock, however.
I haven't seen anyone get completely bricked by modding the Atrix. There's almost no risk if you understand what you're doing currently. It's not like the Captivate where you might get the black screen of death and have to make a jig.
Considering the extensive testing that AT&T requires before allowing firmware updates to be released, along with the fact that 4.1.83 was literally just released, its not surprising to see the Atrix not on the list.
I also agree with the bootloader thing, if AT&T was the reason it was locked, Motorola now has some incentive to unlock it. Not that they definitely would though, as other motorola devices on other carriers show.
UPDATE:
New article with word that the Atrix will be updated as well.
Okay, so I just came back from a weeks holiday and logged in.
I'm overwhelmed, bootloader unlocked, awesome!
But, are there any roms yet, or is there a post where a rom is being developed?
Thanks
Nothing yet, still some p-roms. Be patient I'm sure things will start popping up soon. Dev forum is going nuts though, I suggest you read up on some of the developments going on there.

I guess I will add my question here:
I recently bought an unlocked Moto Atrix. [I'm not sure if its 4G, it doesn't say so on the box]. I got the from Rogers working on it, MMS and everything else.
its Model: MB860
System Version: Version.4.2.1.1.MB860.Retail.en.FR
Android Version: 2.2.2
Built number: OLYEM_U4_2.1.1
I love the phone, everything's cool, except this Froyo doesn't have google contact groups in it. I read on forums, that Gingerbread has the option back. (i remember using HTC Dream, it had those functions).
So, at this point, what could be my options? OTA update is not available. Neither is there any update when I connect it to PC with moto software.
any suggestions or helpful comments?
THANK
This will be a hard one seeing as you bought the phone online or from a friend. Now, I know there are plenty of threads in development about upgrading to gingerbread. Also, to answer your first question, yes the atrix is 4g. Be very careful about upgrading. Doing something wrong is a very quick way to getting a very expensive paperweight.

AT&T version (r800at) is fine I've got it, I wouldn't buy the Verizon version (r800x) because thry haven't released any source for it so development it's really rough. I'd recommend getting your bootloader unlocked to flash cm 7.1 or another ROM and dooms kernel. With the r800i, r800a, and r800at being the exact same hardware all the firmwares and updates work across all of them.

Unless you have the dev cable you need to pay the $25. The Dev cable is more then $25. If there were an easier way to unlock the bootloader everyone would be doing it so just pay the $25 abs move on man.

There is no way to unlock your bootloader without paying. The only two tools able to do it is. Omnius and SETool. Both of these applications require "credits" to perform an unlock!
Then I shall instead of paying even more to enjoy this phone I am just going to sell it it lags and I fiured I'd get a rom and a kernal to oc and fix the lag but I already spent 425 on it and its not worth it to put anymore into it.... it was a dud I may come back whenever the duo comes out... and there were many of people on here posting about the Ericsson website being able to worth and a lot of people said it did and I even seen a video of it working on the arc

Then you should of researched your purchase beforehand. Then you would know only sim free, unbranded factory unlocked plays can get the bootloader unlocked from the sony website. This is because unlocking the bootloader removes all security from the phone including sim lock. If sony offered this to sim locked devices, it would make network providers very unhappy.

And fastboot recognizes our phone. It's kinda like we're missing something.
It's like those ****ers at Verizon are teasing us.
And does the D2 method work on this?
yep they are hell we can root it but can not install cm7. the roms we can install i dont thank are that good every one i ask online says cm7 is the best but i am hoping that they will make one we can flash with out having the bootloader unlocked because us R800X users can not do that (with out paying and thats something im not going to do)
what we need are more roms that are good and work with out haveing are bootloader unlocked i got the phone because i was thinking it was fun and it is and i was thinking i was going to be puting cm7 or ICS OS will i can not do ether of them and as of right now it sucks haveing the R800X i hope i can get something like a ICS like CM9 or at lest CM7 ya know
I am seriously about to pay the money though. Sure our nandroid roms are cool but I want CM9

This thread is pointless.
What no one understands is that the Xperia line is not like other phones.
Kernels will NEVER be able to be flashed via CWM on this phone.
Xperias do not have a boot portion onboard the system
To install ROMs like CM7, you MUST install a different kernel.
Sure, no one likes to pay.
But what other options do you have?
You can unlock by paying now, or you can try to wait it out

Couldnt agree more. This will be a never ending debate. Anyone with a locked bootloader has (2) options .. a) Unlock your Bootloader .. b) Take the time to Learn how to develop a rom that you would like for your locked down phone.
Plus we're on Verizon, did you really think they would make it easy for ya?

... you know imei is the identifier for GSM phones, so there is no way any phone that is built for CDMA networks will have an imei, correct? ...
Oh, and Verizon has done their best to deny root (2.3.2 blocked gingerbreak, the old way to root. Zergrush was developed after 2.3.3 was released)
We didn't actually have fastboot enabled, on a stock phone.
So, actually Verizon did their very best to lock down the phone, and only due to the awesomeness of developers and unlockers on XDA, do we have the any freedom at all.

While that may be your intent. This statement makes clear that you don't even understand the situation. Until you, and anyone else who would make a thread like this, either decides to read more (or quit posting) we will continue to have unproductive threads like this. Though I don't suppose you consider this unproductive...and THAT is the real problem here.
Let me make one thing clear for you. Verizon, gave you nothing. You sir, or whomever pays your cell bill are paying for quite a bit. But not on that list is the freedom to do what you will with your phone.

Yeah, I'm living it. I feel like it's a tease just for this reason. I look around here, knowing that I'm not going to *be able* to pay to unlock my bootloader, as I'm unemployed and in High School, I find some cool threads involving the R800x. I forget about needing a different kernel, and the developer doesn't thoroughly explain it enough to the point where I have to find that out the hard way.
Then I find some new customization apps, like maybe a new launcher and other stuff and realize that not having a custom ROM isn't all that bad, especially since R800x came with pure Vanilla Android, with customization at it's best. I eventually get bored with the setup on my phone after noticing some new features that are only available on custom ROMs, most commonly Theme Chooser with CyanogenMod, or MIUI in general, then the cycle repeats. I just can't learn... Silly me!
i just think the R800x should be able to unlock there bootloaders for free just like the other xperia plays because im just like the one guy that posted i dont have the money to pay to unlock my boot loader. it sucks being stuck using the 2.3.3 update win others get to use the cm7 with the 2.3.7 update it sucks for us it sucks bad

My guess would be that he saw the thread with "unlocked bootloader" in the title and assumed people were working on it before actually reading the thread (or maybe I'm missing something?). I agree with you that I don't think they can really work on unlocking the bootloader without actually having the phone.
You can root and unlock the device without actually having it. I was just reading (Android Police) how someone with a leaked copy of the Galaxy S3 software was close to rooting and unlocking it.
edit: Aren't all HTC devices unlockable anyways? HTC has their development website where you can unlock devices and most are included soon after launch.
