I do not understand your answer. Did you upgrade? Was your phone still unlocked after the upgrade?
I am in the same boat as you. My Atrix is unlocked, I use it on T Mobile in the US. I would like to upgrade also, since my phone is nagging me all the time to upgrade.
I also have an unlocked AT&T Atrix phone that I use here in the Philippines. I updated about 2 hours ago via OTA and everything is fine. My phone is still unlocked.

I too have an sim-unlocked atrix, here in Brazil. The phone is still unlocked after applying the 1.57 back then and 1.83 OTA updates, so you shouldn't have any problems updating yours.
upgraded but lost root
Once you unlock your phone it stays unlocked forever

Is there anyway to relock the bootloader
i just bought this for my mom, and it came unlocked
and i want it to be as stock as it can be
10.1 us version 16gb
If you haven't done anything to it then it is stock... They are coming unlocked from the manufacturer, so there isn't really any need to have it locked.
thanks
so ill be able to update it, an use all of the stock services?
Of course. Why would Samsung cripple their device like that right out of the gate?

Just got the Dev edition - purchased mainly to stay on the unlimited plan and didn't expect to root until I'm bored with stock (~6 months).
Although, I would unlock if it means it will allow removing the bloat. Anyone know if this is possible when unlocked? I'd try but want to stay under warranty for as long as possible.
Warranty is voided with an unlocked boot loader anyways. What do you mean u are still under warranty? What was the point of getting the dev edition if your not going to unlock it?

The Dev edition is not shipped 'unlocked' - It still requires you to unlock it yourself. Therefore I'm still under a warrenty from motorola.
If I could remove bloat it would give me a good reason to void that warranty.
What else will unlock give me at this time? No ROMs yet.... and don't expect quality support of a rom for some time.
As I stated, the main reason for the dev edition was staying on the unlimited plan and the bonus of future ROM support (fingers crossed). The dev edition cost was the same as from verizon without contract. And as a bonus I have that little "Development Edition" signature on the kevlar back
Whattt! How'd you get it for the same cost?! I thought it was full retail price?
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2
He said "same cost from Verizon without contract". The developer edition is the same price as the retail version at full, non subsidized price.
That's what happens when I read too fast and go on this at work when I'm not supposed to lol.

If you unlock the bootloader you can do what you please with the device. If you decide to unlock then you will want to visit me @ www.aosp.us and download a recovery (both ClockworkMod and TWRP) and also get a full XML file made for the dev edition.

Dev edition same amount of bloatware as retail?
Does the Razr M developer edition have the same bloatware as the retail version? Since it is purchased direct from Motorola, I presumed VZW did not pack their garbage on there.
Thanks.
Verizon was sure to pack it with a bunch of apps. Just about everything can be disabled except media sync and backup assistant.

Is it branded too? with the verizon logo on the bottom?
Yes it has Verizon logo on front. It also has a Developer Edition logo on the back below the other Verizon 4G LTE logo.

I have a Dev Edition and I have not unlocked it yet either for one simple reason....
I want Moto JB first with all the bugs worked out. I can still get the OTA if I unlock the boot loader first but I'm not much for tempting fate. Once my phone is on JB and stable, the boot loader is getting unlocked, I'm rooting, and pulling all the Vz bloat and spyware off my phone.
I'm not really waiting for KLP from Moto.
Does anyone have an RSD image for the RAZR M? I keep one for the Atrix 4G just in case. I love insurance.

Yep - I saw it after I asked... and there is now a very handy how-to page live as well.
So what is the best process to remove or disable bloat ware once unlocked etc?

Hey Gang!
I was all set to get started helping to get AOSP ported (working with Untouchab1e) and it seems TMO has locked the bootloader something previously was reserved for att.
Needless to say I'm very upset, and will be returning the device.
There is no way around this right?
Not be surprised, Z, Z1s are also locked.

Very disappointing.
But please, note that it's not sony fault: Sony does not permanently lock the bootloader.
The problem here is the carrier. Sony will unlock your device if the device is sim unlocked, that's the only way to unlock but you need to pay the Unlock Code and have to send to Sony directly.
As you can see in Lollipop, SELinux is actually locking the root acces, so, you need to unlock the bootloader and change the kernel.
If you want to root a locked device running Lollipop, it's currently impossible, so BE AWARE!
P.S. I'm not saying that the Z3 is in Lollipop, but the update is imminent.
HTC does not charged for unlock code, only Sony does this!
All sony phones that will be shipped to a carrier to sell them comes with the "bootloader unlockable=NO", the others that are allowed to unlock bootloader comes directly from Sony, so don't be surprised with this issue, always has benn like that.

Well, if you are talking about SIMLOCK code, you have to purchase it to your carrier. In my country (I don't know others), the law say that if the phone have 2 years and you don't renew contract, the carrier MUST have to unlock your device for FREE. Otherwise, purchase the SIMLOCK code. Sony will refuse to unlock the bootloader if the phone is SIMLOCKED.

Interesting, so if I was able to convince t-mobile to sim unlock I could then send that to sony? how does one do this? link possibly?
I got a suggestion to try selling it on craigslist than paying the difference to get the international version.
Anyone really want one now?
Pay off your phone if you are on EIP, then activate and use your phone at least 45 days (I guess), T-Mobile will unlock your phone free of charge.

ehh....I'm gonna be receiving mine tomorrow in the mail but this might bug me a little. I've rooted/unlocked all my previous phones (galaxy 2-4) and I'm pretty used to being able to do that. I'm hoping that this phone is just so awesome that I won't feel the itch to flash things anymore.

I don't much care about the bootloader, but not being able to root and in turn not being able to use xposed might be cause for a return....if only the nexus 6 was a more reasonable size.

Yeah!! I've followed this tuto: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=746342 for a client, he told me that sending from GT to UK were no problem an he paid the taxes. At the phone arrived from Sony UK, the bootloader was allowed to unlock. You may think that is better to sold the locked phone and pay the difference to get a phone, but my client don't think so and he gave me the chance to probe that SIMLOCK method is actually functional.
Hope it work for you if you wanna try.
(My client's phone was a Xperia Z2 locked by Claro)

Root may still be possible, sit tight.
You can obtain an Unlock Code through Sony choosing Sony Xperia Z3, however the fastboot unlock command is restricted (that would have been TOO easy!).
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock [insert code here]
...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: -0.000s
While I'm sure it won't work, has anybody tried the Towel/Quick Root exploit that worked for the Z1s and the Z2 to obtain root without unlocking the BL? These T-Mo variants sometimes surprise us ...

Good luck with AT&T unlocking their bootloaders. We had AT&T up until recently and it was always a pipe dream to get an unlocked bootloader. Buy an unlocked model or get the TMobile version.
