[Q] Droid X vs. Droid X2

---

Im just wondering what the differences are that make the Droid X get Cyanogenmod and ICS ports and not the Droid X2. I thought the Droid X had a locked bootloader as well. If someone found a way around the locked bootloader on the Droid X, why wont the same method work for us? Are the ROM ports for the Droid X "dumbed down" versions of the ROMs in order for them to work on a locked bootloader? If so, again, why cant we get them? I know there is probably some technical answer that sums it up. Im just asking out of curiosity.

From my understanding, the Droid X got a leaked dev rom that contained the unlocked bootloader. I'm not 100% sure where this was acquired, perhaps someone can chime in.

Lucky DX users. lol. I cant wait to have some unlocked bootloader goodness. I hope the X2 Devs get this thing unlocked soon. Im rootin' for them.

I just came from a droid X. The bootloader never got unlocked, but the devs found out how enable the droid X to run everything as if it had an unlocked bootloader except custom kernels by using 2nd init. The roms were not dumbed down at all and we had everything from CM7 to MIUI to OMFGB.

No unlocked bootloader. TBH got a leaked dev sbf I think or the like.

Thats what I thought. I thought none of Motorolas phones where unlocked. Its just weird that two phones that are pretty much identical, cant run the same stuff. I wish we could just take the stuff that "unlocked" the Droid X and use it for us. Im ready to flash something new on my phone.

Oh sorry folks. I remember there was a Droid X overclock and thought they manage to unlock the bootloader.

edit, off topic...

There are unlocked Motorola phones
ATRIX, photon,
The XOOM came out as a google experience device as well

Btw, they're not identical, I believe the x has a different processor.
