Nice, nice... very nice...

 

[bihariel]

it should work on defy, droid2, ms2, x,cliq2, maybe we need to do some minor changes but i think it should work.

This is very good news indeed.
Shift this thread to Development. Everyone have to put in some time to test this. With the new XDA rules coming into effect, it should clearly be in something more concrete and out of reach of novice users.

The game has begun for some much wanted fun. thank you thread starter.

Indeed perfect news.

Sounds very promising!

If we get that bootloader problem fixed so that we can load custom kernels, the Moto phones are really awesome. Good quality and good price!

What do we want more?

What do we want more?

Cyanogenmod and gingerbread would make it perfect

Is the defy slower with kexec??

 

[demolition23]

Maybe will see cm7!!
It's possible with this method!
We need development

Could someone compile it for us?
Source are there!

 

[cmstlist]

Ironically the page at wix.com is an all-Flash web site which can't be accessed from the 2.1 phones* whose bootloaders were never unlockable.

*Yes I know there are leaked builds out there.

Wow. Really interesting ! I'll paste the Motorola comment here too :

We apologize for the feedback we provided regarding our bootloader policy. The response does not reflect the views of Motorola.

We are working closely with our partners to offer a bootloader solution that will enable developers to use our devices as a development platform while still protecting our users' interests. More detailed information will follow as we get closer to availability

What about voting it to the Top Page so everyone sees it?

I hope that Motorola hears us screaming

I dont believe this!
This might be a fake!
Cant be real!
Why Motorola does motorla change there policy??
Defy is realy a god phone and sells from alone!
Why they do this?

Maybe not for defy!
For next device i guess!!

I hope!
This would realy good!Nice!Best!

Motorola gain bad reputation ,because locked bootloader, from devs.
When the simple user want to try something new on Motorola's phone always get the same "NOTHING".
So they get bored and buy a new phone that has realy support for custom ROMs ect...

This is my opinion, I'm very happy with my Defy,but I'll never buy another phone with locked bootloader!!!
If Motorola does something about that,like unlock this devices then my next phone will be Motorola again!

Well said, same for me here. I'm really looking forward to this module and I hope it will work for the Defy.

Motorola maybe will not be the next, but with unlocked bootloader have better chances.

Totally Agreed.
I love my Defy, but if this "look elsewhere" situation keeps, I'll do it.

Please HTC, make us a sexy durable waterproof phone that accepts custom ROMs!

We could call it... oh screw it, I could never make it in marketing, but someone must have a good name idea.
