Default [BOOTLOADER] Atrix bootloader unlocked, could this unlock ours?

So the atrix has had its bootloaders unlocked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1136261), now if im correct Motorola uses the same bootloader locking on all there phones? So would it be possible to use the atrix unlocking to unlock out phone?

Code:
class Luke extends Jedi {
    function checkFather($father) {
        if ($father-]name == 'Darth Vader')
            die('NOOOOO!!');
    }
}

I don't think it's so easy. I mean this could be flashed, but I think it will brick our device...forever. That way, we could easily flash Droid's unlocked bootloader and boost our Milestone's performance. So, i don't know what to say... 8-|
Device : Motorola Milestone A853 (defective digitizer ^^)
ROM : CyanogenMOD 7.2.0
CPU speed : 1200 Mhz (with 73vsel)

sure we could not use the same bootloader, but perhaps it could be stripped down and the parts that make it update and include the unlocking could then be put in a package to work with our phone?

I don't think it can be done. Look at it as if you standing in front of a locked door and someone else opens the door for you. You still don't have the key. The only way for us to unlock the bootloader is if Motorola decides to give out this RSA key or to give the bootloader an update which unlocks it.

Fair enough, was just an idea, like if the keys where the same? But if I'm wrong then sorry for taking up your time

Default Give it time

I don't think It could be done instantly, but *hopefully* with enough time the Dev's could piece something together

No need to be sorry.

It's unlikely they would;
- Be using the same bootloader
- Be using the same keys
- That unlocking the bootloader even uses the key
- Motorola said only certain phones from certain places will be unlocked meaning that different ways / keys may have been used on different devices.

This is not going to be a simple talk by any means but hopefully something within Atrix bootloader / recovery will help us get there.

This is true, well hopefully one of the great developers here and start looking (if they haven't already) at clues to unlocking our phone that the atrix stuff might hold

it is baffling that motorola unlocked the bootloader for atrix but not for milestone because milestone doesnt even sell anymore, atleast not where live, what will they get by keeping it locked .. extremely stupid !!!
