Has anyone ever used this installer? It claims that it unlocks the bootloader. I side loaded the apk, and I'm concerned about the use.

It unlocks the bootloader in devices that support "fastboot oem unlock"
IE not ours. It won't do any damage, but it won't do any good either

Well I made a backup with that carbon app and I'm gonna download the apps probably tomorrow to see if it works. Thanks for the link. Also I went a head and unlocked the bootloader and all that other good stuff.

Does anyone know if somebody is working on unlocking the latest boot loader? I would like to help them with a donation or whatever I may be able to do to help.

I think those resources would be better used finding a way to revert back to previous updates on locked bootloaders (say, the one before Moto patched the method) than to device a completely new method.
Is it possible to do this with RSD?

If you're bootloader is locked and you accept the initial 4.1.2 update, then using RSD will brick your device.
I have an idea. Could one "push an OTA" that would essentially install an "upgrade" to 4.1.1. If I knew anything about coding, that would be the direction I would head for. I'm decent at ladder logic, but don't know a darn thing about Linux or Java.

Signatures.. That's the only issue.. The packages must be signed with moto's signatures.. Only then will you be able to flash it.. Everything if you manage to do that, there is no guarantee..

Hey guys,
I have TWRP set up and rooted but I hate that little open lock icon when I boot up the phone.
If I relock the bootloader will I still be able to flash mods/roms etc since I have TWRP installed?
Thanks in advance!
Without stock when you relock it will just keep booting back into the bootloader instead of android

I am on stock, just another recovery and rooted.
So it won't boot into bootloader the whole time or will it?

Well I guess I care. Not only because it's irritating but also to get warranty back.

With a custom recovery. Relocking the bootloader should cause the device to fail to boot.
It doesn't matter if you still have a stock rom.
It will fail the locked checks and put you straight into the bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
just revert to stock with original recovery if worried about it since you cant lock it on custom firmware
Okay thank I know enough, will just let the unlocked lock icon show.

Hello. I'm on the new system version 98.18.94 and I was curious if you guys think I should use the droid razr m utility to downgrade to an earlier version so I can root it. Is it suggested that I do that or should I wait for a root method for my current version?

There is no DG.

Yes there is. I have downgraded using the utility before. It deletes everything but I have a backup on my SD card

Using the utility before doesn't mean you can use it now. On this latest OTA (and I think the one before), they got rid of the ability to downgrade. There are many people that have tried to downgrade and they get a fastboot fail, but since you're the ONLY one that seems to have this magical ability, go ahead and try it. :good:

That utility is for 2 OTAs ago. If you use it on .94, you risk a brick.
I've bricked my phone before while I was on this update. I used the utility to revive my phone. It worked just fine.

That utility was designed for two OTAs ago. So, if you used it, you would be on that system version if your bootloader was unlocked or you would have a soft brick and fastboot fail if your BL was locked. If you took the utility and replaced the .xml with .94 (which I've seen some people do), then that's why it would be working now. If you didn't replace the file, then I call BS because your system version is still .94.

I'm not confused. If you tell us straight, then we can help a lot more.
Here's how it goes:
- Utility 1.10 was designed for 98.12.4(4.1.1) that came out early this year.
- Utility 1.20 was designed for 98.15.66 or 98.16.1(4.1.2)(I can't remember the exact version) and it had the BL unlock tool in it
There has been no updated utility for the last two OTAs because Matt didn't think it was worth it. Some guys over in the HD forum updated the HD utility to include the newest firmware, but there's been nothing like this for the M.
Okay so I have the razr m utility 1.20 and I tried downgrading with rsd lite recently which obviously didn't work. But it was stuck in ap fastboot mode so I used his utility to flash the stock 4.1.2 system, kernel, radio, etc. It worked just fine. I don't know why, I don't know how, but it worked.

Yeah, but it didn't downgrade you because you're still .94. It probably flashed the baseband (which is possible on a locked BL), which cleared the fastboot flash fail, but it obviously didn't flash the system or kernel because you're still on .94.

Yes but they are unified builds. We will not get them until this boot loader is unlocked. It was probably a mistake including Verizon in the list.
So....with this being available, can we at least safestrap it?
