Motorola can Unlock Bootloaders all they want to, main problem there is AT&T Interfering and Locking the Bootloader by Default even if Moto themselves left it Unlocked.

Yep the bootloaders are more about carriers locking them up. I'm guessing AT&T wasn't too happy about the unlocked being leaked from Motorola, and hopefully the guy that leaked it didn't get into too much trouble...

Nope had it, but I don't spend all day searching for interesting things. Not enough time in the day for that.

Why is that? You'd think they'd supply unlocked bootloaders easily instead of sim unlock codes. Unlocked bootloader means we can just flash different roms vs unlocked sim means we can leave AT&T, correct?

Wow... OP must be a very slow reader because an unlocked bootloader has been stickied in the dev forums since late June.
Thread closed to prevent additional flaming at the OP.

Has P3Droid obtained full access to the X? Or was the GB leak only allowed because it was a leak of the official. Will CM7 be possible one day?

The only real progress I know of is the team working with kexec(sp). They bypassed the bootloader, but need drivers. Dev is pretty still...
As for P3, I was sure he had a dev phone that wasn't locked down at all. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
No p3 has dev phones. I think they got the wifi driver and are waiting on bluetooth. Although I haven't seen any new posts on the official bluetpoth thread for a while.

Wasn't there something a few weeks ago where someone 'discovered' the bootloader keys and told Motorola to release them or he would? Or is my brain playing tricks again?

Soo the atrix has been unlocked and I keep hearing that the dx and atrix have same bootloader...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
The difference between the two should be more than enough so that the leaked build will not do anything.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
What do you mean? Sorry not understanding. whats the difference, why won't the leak do anything?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
Atrix and DroidX are two different hardware platforms, they have different bootloaders. Forget about open bootloader for DroidX, Motorola never open it, unless it will hacked.
With CM7, do we still require a carrier unlock code to be able to use our VIbrant with a different carrier?

No. Once you unlocked your vib there's no going back.

So even after i ODIN back or use a different rom, there is never a need to unlock again?
Yup.

Yea once you unlock then you will never need to unlock!
Then you can brag how your phone is " a Worldwide phone"

Has anyone figured out how to carrier unlock it yet?

Order an unlock code on ebay. It is avaliable just about anywhere.

not so fast
I attempted to order an unlock for my ATT i9505 from a popular unlocking website. They were unable to provide the service and had to refund my money. If you want to attempt this at this early stage, use an unlocking service with a refund policy until more is known.

Eventually this will be sorted. However it's still very early... Patience is a virtue.

Yes I have. I posted it earlier somewhere. Www.fastgsm.com did it for me. Took them 24hrs $29.99 but they refund you $20 if you upload video of yourself doing it. 100% works and I did it on a upgraded line.
It was for i337 att but they have a few galaxy s4 options im sure one of them will work just ask them.

So I'm a few months in, and I'm already starting to look what is coming out. It's kind of hard to down size screen. You guys waiting for anything in particular?
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Whatever it is, it cant have a smaller screen than the Note 3. Same size or bigger.

Good one! I would say so to, but I'm tired of the boot loader issue. Although I have no desire to flash kernels, I feel when the boot loader is locked, it deters people from developing on the phone.

+1 I have a feeling all providers will be having locked bootloaders sooner or later... We all may have to go to Dev edition phones, unfortunately. But my next phone may be on T-Mobile (depending on if sprint buys it or not though)...
I,ve had the note 2 and 3 and can probably guarantee that I will get the note 4. My wife gets my hand me downs. Having a locked bootloader stinks but it helps that we can still obtain root and there is always safestrap though I haven't gone there yet.
