There's a big difference between root and unlocking the bootloader. Let's keep this on topic about donations.

The link goes to a year old or older article. What is the purpose of the link?
Is this a bounty for something to come or a donation for something already developed but yet to be released?

As much as you think it'd be good to donate--Jcase said in his Twitter he doesn't plan on publishing anything new for the MotoX. Kinda bummed out. I can't not have root.
Jcase's Tweet
Since the MotoX on VZW is the first carrier OTA of Kit Kat you guys are the test case. If you're not familiar with -dm verity you need to be.

Well whatever the case is, @jcase along with any and all developers we should ALL contribute to the development (developers) of Android. If the man has figured out how to root kitkat and chooses to not release it without getting a bounty out of it, then that's up to him. None of us have any room to get upset about it. Put me down for $30 if you release it @jcase. Thanks for all you've done for us so far!!!

Now that the phone has been out for a weekend by AT&T, is there any definitive proof that the AT&T one can still unlock the bootloader via HTC dev post 4/19?
Has anyone attempted it? Or are people receiving retail units with the bootloader locked?
I just picked up one of these and been reading up on it all... I checked I am on a new update so it looks like there's no root for me correct? Do you think a way may turn up?

Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
So wait, even if we have the update, it's okay, we can just downgrade?
Also, OP, I'm sure you got your RAZR for free on contract, but I bought mine new on eBay to keep my unlimited data. I dunno if $280 was too much for you, I usually wait until a phone has been out for a year or so and then I can snag it for $250-350 off contract, new.
On the bright side, now you can get the latest device when it comes out for a reasonable price.
If I were you, I'd take advantage of the return policy ($35 restocking fee) and get like the nicest phone possible- maybe hit up a Verizon store and try them all out. I know the Dinc 4G LTE and Droid DNA had 2-3 more bars than the Motorola and Samsung (and Apple) phones, but they all may use different "bar calibrations".
The only reason I got the RAZR M was because a good deal came up on eBay and the seller took a pic of the barcode/info, so I saw the firmware version before buying.
Best of luck!

Yeah, that sucks. Gotta love the timing.
I found the 98.16.1 update file tried to apply it via recovery no go...I'm not going to risk trying to RSD the whole XML.. so I just called Verizon... asked if I could request a replacement without the update... he said... we can make a note to the warehouse but I cannot promise you one without the update as all CLND will be updated within two weeks of the push... so one can only hope...
Even if I can't get a an older version I'm probably gonna keep the M kinda a Motorola fanboy... I mean it was the first hand held cell phone I believe...

Mine updated itself last night. Okay, fine, I probably accidentally hit the update button. Anyway, now I have a locked, unrooted M. Good thing that X is coming soon.

Just to detail here a little. The root method is still Motochopper. With the help of realbbb on the HD, SamuriHL was able to produce a script to perform the function. I merely adapted it for the M.
This method essentially rolls back the device thru a modified fxz without flashing the tz partition, roots with Motochopper, protects root, updates then restore root.

If you can afford this phone and a mac, you can afford a pc. You dont need anything high end, go pick up a $300 laptop. Hell, if you look around, you can probably find something sub $300.

Honestly, I don't see the point. Verizon doesn't want an unlockable bootloader on their devices. There is nothing that can make that happen. They don't want to have to deal with the support issues. If you want a phone with a unlockable bootloader, don't buy a Verizon phone. It is not that complicated. A petition has no bearing on Verizon's decision. There isn't enough customers who really want to unlock their phone's bootloader to install a custom rom.
So good luck to all 17 of you!

There's really nothing amazing about two posts. The time wasted here can be matched evenly with, say, signing this junk.
