http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12637163#post12637163
can anyone try the same method?

I'm hesitant of anything posted on April 1st, regardless of source! But I hope this works for the Atrix.

This is confirmed working guys.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDh4psrbb3c

YEAH, its true, many people have try...see the post reply after day 1 and video
soo, please, I think this can break the bootloader of our atrix, but I don't have acknolegement to do that

I assume Atrix has different type of bootloader than SE X10a
May try after final exam

You can't just run their script and make it work that way, their exploit would have to be ported to the Atrix.

Hope this works, may I remind any dev that the is a huge bounty for this.

Maybe you should change your title to...
"Possible bootloader unlock method"
it would get more attention.

+1. Would bring much more positive attention to the thread.

And all the naysayers and impatient fools too, unfortunately. I just read this also, if it could be ported it may be a promising lead. I'm off to do a bit more digging

WOOOOOOO! thanx for posting this, hopefully this works, let's crack this bootloader and make these Atrix haters mad!

I consider that sugestion
also I will try use that method to crash bootloder....I have some help from my teacher xD...

theres no such thing as atrix haters , theres moto haters , I been a moto fan since the startac , truth is motorola has spit in our face since the days of EZX phone where they would always find a way to circumvent gpl , I wish I could have an atrix , but as long as its locked , not gnna happen , fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on me , I am very tempted but I wont jump in just yet , I heard Tegra is much less secure then omap so theres your chance but it be a good month or 3 or 4 before anything happens to that bootloader , thinking otherwise woudl be greatly under estimating Motorola ...

Sorry hat to clutter this thread. Anyway, anyone got any reading material on this exploit done on the X10? I want to learn more about it.

Any Dev's care to comment on this?

there are Atrix haters as well as moto haters, i've debated and well as read comments from quite a few of them, but people that have the wrong attitude and give up so easily on the phone ain't helping at all(or people that never had the phone to begin with), but i understand some people have their needs or wants in a phone and the atrix may not be it for them, but don't bash it just because you may not like it, never even owned it but have negative comments about it, have a defective device or whatever, and no i'm not saying that YOU have done any of this, but i'm tired of seeing it.....
but back to what this topic is actually about, hopefully this topic catches the devs attention

sooo.. ignoring the differences in architecture between omap and tegra, were the two bootloaders secured in the same fashion?> signed? signed and locked? locked?

Even it takes 3 or 4 months it still gives us hope. I thought this whole signed bootloader mess was gonna be completely impossible! So I'm thrilled to hear this!

Nothing is impossible
Doesn't look like this is catching the eye of many people though, most likely from the 4/4 date.

Yep, I'm laying some -root- tonight!!!!!

ignore from here down. My xda bros just saved my marriage!
Once again, I come here with fingers crossed hoping for root news. And once again, I leave here with no news. And yet again, I will hear my wife say "I hate you" for upgrading her phone. fml.

I just recieved a new shift about 3 hours ago because i dropped mine and im stuck without root also, and as a dev its horrible.
but honestly no real need to make a new thread about it

I'm sorry for your loss..

I have a 2 year old terror for a son, that is constantly playing with my phone. The blue htc case has been the best purchase i have made in a long time. It definitely beefs up the phone enough to withsatnd majority of his punishment. He did manage to break something because my keyboard lights rarely work... But thats nothing compared to if he would crack my screen... Come on root so i can get a new phone with working keyboard lights.

/\ hey somebody in the same boat as me... My keyboard and physical button lights haven't worked in months. Small price to pay to keep root.

We all feel your pain . Guess it's going to be a minute before your able to do anything for the community . Dammm you HTC .

you could always try a different Launcher so that it will look different...

If you're lookin for a sense 3.0 like lockescreen try Agile Lock from the market, been using it on my evo for a week or so and loving it. In order to get all the functionality out of it you'll have to download 4 or 5 apps from within the agile lock app. They're all in Japenese or Chinese, can't read either so not sure which language it actually is, but just download and install them then you can delete them. Once the app is unlocked it functions almost just like the 3.0 lockscreen.

I didn't care if anyone responded. Sorry for eating valuable forum space in the shift forum. When root comes back around, this thread will be pointless. Feel free to delete it. But the other person was right. This is the gloom thread. No root for the old hags phone makes me sad. If jock itch makes you sad, tell us about them red balls.
As far as children, I think my 15 y.o. looked at some pR0n on my shift the other day. I spent hours deciding how to sterilize it, in the event that he diddled himself, without blitzing the circuits. My first impulse was to soak it in bleach for a day or two. How's that for some FML?????

umm...
this will probably sound really stupid, so just remember that I come from the easy-to-root epic forum.
I assume it's not possible to RUU back to 2.2, root, unlock, then flash gingerbread?
I guess my question really is, why doesn't this method work?

Because the RUU checks the hboot and says you've got the wrong one and fails.

I know your saying is correct, but if it is simply just that, how come with revolutionary on other phones you can run a RUU and it'll reset the phone but keep s-off? Or is it because revolutionary just does something crazy?

Dunno. I may be wrong in the above too. I've been lucky enough to keep my root and haven't actually been paying much attention to the problem of rooting the 2.3 OTA.

Welcome! btw if you are interested in using or learning about AOSP Roms/Kernels click on the link in my sig ^_^

My phone hates aosp can't figure out what it is but every aosp Rom I've run works great for an hr or 2 the starts bootlooping, doesn't matter what Rom or kernel. I've run cm7.1, miui, decks, and salvagemod and about the time I'm finished getting everything set up BAM! bootloops. Miui was the one I had the most luck with it lasted over night b4 i woke up unlocked my phone and what happens? Bootloops =\

what do you use to flash it amon ra or CWM?? and through my guide there is a link to another thread that has a guide on how to set it up maybe you should try following that step by step.

Just saying hello I just got this phone, I came from the tmobile gs2. the tmobile gs2 was nice but this phone is sooo much better, cause of the exynos and much more development!!! glad to join the team!!

In that case, I'd like to warmly say ...

Just be careful and don't damage it lol

This is a pointless thread that I would make as soon as I got a toy like this! Love my phone still and its been over 9 months. Phones never last me longer than 6 months. Congrats on the new phone

Welcome aboard fella. Enjoy your stay..Here you can get women, smoke cubans and above all have a sexy gorgeous phone named the Galaxy S2....Welcome to paradise

oh dont worry first thing I did when I got home was root it and try out codeworkx's cm9. Besides the little bugs I love it, cant wait till the official release!!! That was a big part of me getting the phone, it'll have ICS on it way before the tmobile gs2!!

Btw if you want to root.... its so easy on this phone
Enjoy

I have had this for 2 month on t-mobile and am very happy.

Well, the rest 100.000 of us here on the forums also got this phone. Now imagine if we would all create a new thread to express our joy. Wouldn't that be a cesspool? Just saying...
Yeah, good job, it's a nice phone. Take care of it.

Congratulations
First of all, congratulations on getting your new phone. I can only say that this phone is still one of the best out there, especially for the developments made for this phone (credits to the developers). For me, it was my 1st android phone. So, I had a pretty long time searching for what I can do to this phone to bring out it's inner capabilites. One of them, is to root your phone and install ROMs inside. Since I love to customize my phone, I feel that rooting is essential for me and went ahead to root my phone. If you are considering about rooting your phone, do take note that the warranty will most probably be void

Instead of creating threads that we bought this device we just spam the CyanogenMod 9 thread and annoy the developers.
