Motorola just went up a notch in my book. They are at 2 now.

lulz.

Someone pm a mod. Atrix_Owner is hacking into accounts now.

Also, it looks like it's only unlocking just a few phones. For now.

About time! I wonder if this is because they're under Google's orders now.

Title should be "Motorola Launches Official Bootloader Unlocking Tool for Photon." Hopefully, they'll add more phones but I'll reserve praise until then.

TravisAntonio · Aug 18, 2012

Now you guys see that Motorola is not that bad?

Promising, but a pretty weak start.

i think that more devices will be added as they get updated to ics because maybe right now the locked down gb bootloaders dont work with this tool so they are putting supported bootloaders in the ics roms.

NFHimself · Aug 18, 2012

Promising news for non AT&T folks! Finally be able to use an unlocked bootloader without the ramfix step. That is if the Atrix gets ICS with this magic bootloader.

Cheers!

erktheerk · Aug 18, 2012

Well hells yeah. Wish I knew more about boot loaders. I'm sure there is probably a way to reverse engineer unofficial ports. I'm greatful and awaiting Droid x unlock. I miss customized kernals

pranks1989 · Aug 18, 2012

Such a relieving news giving a new ray of hope! Hope older devices like the Defy/Defy+ gets updated soon!

1. The site says its at your carriers discretion. so if you're on VZW, forget it.
1a. Already read somewhere else that if VZW discovers your phone has been unlocked, it will be removed from their network.
2. A lot of phones are getting Kexec builds, which is better than unlocking the bootloader anyways.

They can go blow themselves for not including the original Razr, that was my first and last Motorola Device and it will get replaced at the end of the month.

Original Razr was a flip phone. Kids these days...

That's an antique. Might be worth something on eBay!
