Bootloader Unlock coming soon?!

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/04/0...:+DroidLife+(Droid+Life)&utm_content=FaceBook
Read this. Supposedly, a guy has unlocked a RAZR HD. This MAY also work on similar Motorola devices, ex the RAZR M. Just a quick heads up. Things can only get better from here.

Yep. Very exciting. Still leaves us with a horrific kernel setup. Messed with it some today. I wanted to throw my laptop through the wall. Haha

"Today, Dan "Djrbliss" accomplished a feat that was said to be impossible. He exploited Motorola's 256 bit encrypted bootloader for the DROID RAZR M, DROID RAZR HD and Atrix HD. Many have tried all over the world and failed. Dan has proven yet again that he is a force to be reckoned with. We would nothing if it was not for this altruistic man. I tip my hat an say thank you once again for giving us everything that you do."

If I recall, a RSD would erase all evidence of rooting, but the device will remain unlocked until a fast boot command is run. Maybe I can finally fix my phone

I hope so too. Idk why but it boots into fastboot mode every time. I need to manually enter the boot menu and pick normal or whatever. Let's see what happens tomorrow though

I bet we will somehow be able to unlock the root checker and rewrite its code to signify that 0/0 means rooted/once rooted. (Not really but a funny thought.)

And while we're discussing the boot loader exploit, I highly suggest everyone that uses this exploit, if it becomes available, should drop a few dollars to djrbliss. The man gave us root AND a potential bootloader unlock. If you can't, no big deal. He could be facing legal issues judging by Motorola's track records. I'm sure in their eyes he's public enemy no. 1. He's sticking his neck out for our fun, hook him up.

I'm sorta new to the RAZR M still (came from HTC Rezound). Will this be same as S-OFF in a way? Also, will this allow us to replace the recovery on the phone with CWM or TWRP? Pretty exciting news!

Basically, yes. You will have bypassed security enabling you to flash unsigned zips or firmware as well as replace recovery. No in that it may not be reversible as easily if at all.

So, if we want to wait on this and block any OTA updates for now, can that be done without root? I am not ready to void my warranty just yet, and I can imagine Moto pushing an OTA soon to fix this exploit.

Nexus 7 blocked in bootloader

Hi, I just upgraded my nexus 7 to android 4.3 and then I have unlocked the bootloader with a tool for Ubuntu users. Then, I install a recovery, and then I root it but it doesn't work. So I decided to downgrade to 4.2.2 with the tool with "flash Google factory image" but an error occurred and the nexus doesn't boot
I can just go in the bootloader, I have the bootloader unlocked, but no recovery, and no root.
Here is my question : how can I install for example cyanogen 10.1.2 but blocked in the bootloader ?
Don't forget that I have just Ubuntu.
Thanks.

I don't know if I'm hearing you right... But you can't have a locked bootloader and a custom recovery and have CM.

If your bootloader is corrupted you can't boot anything. You're going to have to find a way to get your bootloader flashed. I don't know much about this but on my S3 I used Odin.

You can root with the latest motochopper... No recovery because there's no unlock method for that system version

[Q] how can I m rooting my razr kitkat updated to 4.4.2 stock ROM

would be a help to root my DROID RAZR M, ota updated to 4.4.2 kitkat

If your asking about root there isn't any for 4.4.2. That I know of
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

At the moment there is no confirmed exploit for 4.4.2 unless you have an unlocked bootloader. Still holding out hope that someone can figure it out. If not, I'm still perfectly happy with the update. My phone is substantially snappier.

Then, No. You're stuck.

And so it begins.....

Well stuck for now .. There will be another root method but by the time it is found interest in this device may be gone. I went something like 9 months waiting for root the first go around.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

Another root method could happen sure... But unlocking not likely at all.. The only reason we got the 2nd chance we did is because someone at moto "accidentally" used the old tz code that's vulnerable to Dan Rosenbergs exploit

I'm in this same situation, however, my bootloader is unlocked. I tried towelroot again, it says my device is not supported.

I finally managed to get it worked out. One problem is that root checker was telling me I had no root even though I do. That lying skank! Now that I got that, I'm trying to deal with the VZW hotspot issue. The latest ota update seems to have made the problem more difficult. Thanks for advice, though!

Will the 183 mod work on 182 (which I'm on)?

It may but to be safe you could post your build.prop for Topsnake

Any hope in the foreseeable future? Or maybe it is time to upgrade my droid.

This last root was a blanket one that rooted most phones. I'm sure another will present itself but I had my phone nearly 9 months without root.
