There are various people working on it in different forums outside of xda. There is supposedly leaked source code out in the wild and there is a person working on some kind of non-HTC gold card type of exploit. Google "Root Motorola Cliq" and you'll see the various threads around covering this. Unfortunately there is no dedicated site yet like the Droid has to pool information to form a collective brain trust for this project . Hopefully there will be something for Cliq owners with in the next couple of weeks. Maybe sooner if that source code pans out. (crossing fingers)
factory restore image (dreamimg.nbh) equivilent?
I read a post from a guy (here I think) that stated he had a "factrory image" of some sort, the extension was nothing I had seen before, but it sounds to be the same type of file that HTC has, that when booted to recovery the phone will apply the image automaticly, which is how the dream gets downgraded.
I would think that if source is available and the image is too the only thing I could see stopping root would be a keyset other than the "real" one.
just like the g1 they may have a "dev keyset" that we can use on our fones and to sign updates which also blocks the "normal" updates out.
I have been searching daily for any info on rooting the morrison/cliq/dext, and haven't found much other than a couple forum posts and tweets. There are a few cliq fourms but none seem to have anything but "is root available", "when will it be rooted", "how do I gturn the phone on" type posts.

If he said he was taking donations for one, I'd help out . T-Mo has them at 50$ off right now too. But if he had a button in his sig that said "Cliq Donations" i'd log into PayPal right now =). The more advanced dev's that have them, the better.

same here. someone should let cy know he gots 2 willing. i got 20 on it. i dont even have a cliq and probably wont get one but if he wants one i am willing to help. he is way way to important to my daily use for me to not give what i can.

Id be willing to donate to Cyanogen. The real question however, is whether or not he'd be interested. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe parts of blur are not open source.... if that's the case, then cyanogen may not be interested.
In any such case, this phone would be awesome with some optimized firmware on it. Heck, id go for a straight port of CM 4.2.5.
willing to donate
Hi all,
I'm not interested in rooting itself but in to use my mobile as a modem and be able to enjoy a lot of unnofficial updates, the same way I did with my old HTC Polaris...
I'm not a developer, but I'm willing to donate and support testing and getting logs...
I already bookmarked this thread to follow it up.
REgards,
JM
Forgot to clarify... I still have my Polaris, but I'm about to get my Moto Cliq this weekend or early next monday, but I have already played with the one my wife got last week...
I will buy Cyanogen a CLIQ if anyone can reach him and verify that he's interested.

I hardly post here, this is known.
Even still....The end of the month is coming up for early adopters. Still no custom roms. This is not good news.
I pondered a resolution...and other than returning for a refund and waiting for the fascinate, I couldn't really come up with anything.
About a month ago, I was fortunate enough to read a donation thread in this section of the boards that was titled: "help buy a droid x, for developer" .
Obviously that idea has been done. So i thought what can be better?
im going to cut to the chase. most of you HAVE to know the deal and have some idea of what we need. Hopefully some of you know exactly what we need and work with it daily Perhaps somebody here has a friend that has a connection. Instead of fearing the efuse, we can start a fund for the individual(who will remain anonymous) who can upload the engineering ROM, encryption keys AND the bootloader. Once the files are verified as authentic by the talented members of xda, then the raised funds will be transferred over to the anonymous uploader of said data.
Discuss.
Uh...
No, thanks

sure, thats a bad idea for a couple of reasons, legal issues come to mind
we have root with froyo coming soon and the sbf just came out. id say were doing pretty good for being three weeks from launch. enjoy it for what it is and enjoy the goodies as they come. There arent many we dont already have.
custom roms dont entice people? LOL. wow.
That is all that the X needs, as it will add longevity to the device. Being binded to motorolas software release schedule, really blows. This is a great unit, it just needs some work on the software. Said fixes that most likely will only be done by devs on these forums.
Thanks LegionTHEFecalExcretion, i knew about the security breach and the sbf. Hey, at least you offered somewhat of an answer and not some peabrain bot rebuttal.
The encryption keys are, I'm very sure, tightly controlled at Motorola. Most companies have software design/build control where software ready for compiling gets checked in and typically encryption keys are locked away within these build control systems.
This means that, not only do you have to raise enough money to make it worthwhile for the person to potentially lose their job and get sued, but it's not usually all the average-Joe programmers who have access. It's probably the higher-up project managers or coding leads.
I just don't see the donation pile getting big enough to entice someone already making a very good living to take a change on losing their livelihood and getting sued over it.
Why not just enjoy the phone, be happy with the current root abilities, and know that at some point we will be able to load custom roms. Yes I want to load a vanilla rom just as bad as the next guy, however I am tired of seeing people ask "are you done, are you done, are you done yet?, how about now, now? maybe now"?
Give some breathing room to these guys, maybe they have kids, jobs, wifes, a life.
I don't understand why you guys have to be mean to the guy. He is new to the forum and probably new to smart phones. He may even have very little knowledge of what a programming environment would be like and how great the downside could be for someone to leak said information. He had what he thought was a good idea and was a b it ignorant. That does not mean he should be treated like crap.
I have some advice for you omni, go get yourself an iphone and leave this forum... i can't believe that you would have the mentality to whine about some of the brightest minds that we have come to respect in this forum, complaning that they don't work fast enough for you... your a very selfish person who has no right to treat the respected members of this forum in such a way.
I for one love this phone and will continue to use it with or without custom roms...
And a special thanks to those working on the bootloader/ custom rom programming... we will wait for your perfection.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Some phones are easier to work with then others. The DX has not been out that long, have patience.
As an example the Droid Incredible was rooted and a custom recovery added pretty dang quick. On the other hand the Droid Eris took awhile to root and even then, some Eris users had "upgraded" to one of several "leaked" roms and could not root while others that did not leak could. I was a "leak" adopter and it took them several more months to finally get root for the "leaked" Eris owners.
Give it time. They will figure it out eventually.
Or go get something that is more customizable, like the DInc.
Hi all,
I'm contacting AT&T and LG Mobile to force them to release the KDZ and TOT for our LG G5.
I had thought about starting a petition for it, what do you guys think about it?
Anyone had luck with getting some answeres that might end up with AT&T releasing these files?
BTW, I used to own a Motorola Milestone in the past, and some forum member succeeded on cracking Motorola's bootloader, maybe he will help us here as well (I had PM him about this topic, let's hope he will give it a shot).
Thanks,
Mor

16.4.17 - petition link had been added : https://www.change.org/p/lg-electro...utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink
Please, help us spread the word, it's a petition for all LG G5 devices, not only AT&T's one.
Meanwhile, I'm trying my luck reaching out for more assistance within AT&T and LG focal points.
I will sign the petition if you make one
I contacted them about this and they said that LG has the firmware, the I contacted lg and they said ATT has it, so i don'tknow
Kinda good news.
Yesterday I spoke with "oneclickroot" support team and tried figuring out if they will try to assist with rooting our LG G5.
The dev support APPROVED that they are working on it and it will take some time (crappy AT&T and Nougat's security).
About the petition, before I'm opening one, anyone else got some other ideas?
Thanks,
Mor

Yes, kidnap senior AT&T exec and hold them for ransom. I'll bet we'd have root within 24 hours.
Ha ha, seems like a plan.
But, I'll pass this offer and try other ideas
Well, I had draft the initial petition design.
I need your help dear community to sharpen it.

Last year, the LG G5 was released to the market.
Tons of new features, top notch SOC and the first flagship that offered HW modification.
All the community of developers and end users was happy and excited to create ROMs, kernels etc.
But, unfortunately, LG with cooperation with the massive Carriers agreed to lock the bootloader​.*
A year later, only two variets received the unlocked bootloader and all the rest left behind with a dying LG G5 community.
Our demend is that LG will unlock the bootloader and provide a TOT tool. Let us be free of the locked garden chain!
---
Let me know what do you think about it.
*UPDATE!*
Petition had been published - please spread the word.
there are a lot of LG G5 users, let's try to make a change - together we can make it.

We might can get a bootloader unlock.. But we WONT get a TOT/KDZ directly from LG or AT&T. Remember all those files are only meant INTERNAL use only. LG doesn't publicly post these files.

You think we will get the bootloader unlock?
this phone is dead while another variants are celebrating their freedom
Signed.
My big mistake I bought an at&t variant. I was thinking its a USA based model and will be better than others. I was totally wrong. Never ever buy a phone on at&t contract. Worse choice ever I selected.
I am too thinking that It's a big mistake I bought an at&t variant.
Why AT&T not releasing Stock Roms etc. Whyy

I can't stand not having root anymore. I just listed my g5 up for sale, won't make this mistake twice. It's a shame, its not a half bad phone
hi! guys any update?
Hi guys,
I've found this petition in the g 2015 forum. This petition is going to be delivered to Motorola asking them to release the blank flash files for all Motorola devices. I request all of you guys to sign it as there are chance that it'll be helpful to you some day. I'd also like to thank @kawaii.beans for starting this petition. Hopefully Motorola does listen to us and releases the required files.
Here is the quote from the original thread:
kawaii.beans said:
Hi ,
As we all know that there are a lot fo motorola devices which have got their gpt partition and bootloader corrupted due to some ota update , flashing , wrong flash etc, which reduced their device to a paper weight . Most of them(including me) were unable to reverse the corruption due to the lack of required files . It may take motorola simply 2-3 hours to release these files for almost all devices but they have chosen to stay silent and do nothing . It feels really bad to throw away your phone costing hundreds of dollars due to a minor corrpution which can be fixed easily by Motorola. Its time for us to speak , its time for us to ask for what we deserve . Motorola should listen to us !!
Sign this petition on Change.ORG with as many signs as possible so that we can get our devices back ! Please co-operate .
Maybe this havent happened to you yet but may be it will one day , we all need to come together and ask for what we deserve from Motorola. Sign the petition so that Motorola will hear our voices.:crying::crying:

Hello Everybody
I have opened a petition demanding LG to unlock the bootloader of all the LG G6 variants.
The petition already attracted 100+ signatures and many comments.
https://www.change.org/p/lg-electro...or-all-variants-of-unlocked-lg-g6-smartphone/
I have not used change.org previously and so i didn't know that i have to add a decision maker.
I think i can add a decision maker even now.
I was thinking to add either CEO or CTO of LG Mobilie.
I don't have their email addresses even if want to add. or i am not sure whether they would the appropriate point of contact
So, please suggest
My response - "xD"
I know it's an issue and it may piss off some of you but to be honest - good luck, really.
I remember old times with numerous Xperia-related petitions where people complaint about Android upgrades... lack of them to be precise.
Such petitions never worked and probably never will.
Best of luck
from EU H870 user with unlocked bootloader, TWRP and Fulmics ROM
SIGNED!
Please suggest point of contact in LG before signing the petition..
There is no point in getting support for this petition if none of them at LG did receive it.
Yes I do... ^_^
