[Q] Is the Atrix 4g the only Moto with unlockeable bootloader?

i've already have my Atrix with a custom rom and kernel, 'cause i've unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed romracer's recovery.

i've been searching through the Atrix 2 and Droid Razr forums ('cause i'm thinking of buying one of those devices since the ICS let down) to see how possible it is to change roms in those devices and to my surprise, none of them has a way to unlock the bootloader (thus no way to install a custom kernel?).

is it really the Atrix 4g the only moto (besides some razr and photon developer editions) that is "hack" friendly?, the only moto that can freely load a rom with a custom kernel?.

greetings.

Officially other that what Motorola lists is what can be unlocked, Though there is an automated script that managed to unlock mine on 2.3.6 (I got the phone when it came out, so I am not sure if it works on later/refurbished models)

Hey guys, there are lots of threads out there which have motorola atrix bootloader unlock guides, but it is starting to get very confusing bc some instructions don't apply to some phones: I am a noob so can someone plz explain to me how to unlock my atrix bootloader and what are the prerequistes.... my atrix is on firmware version 4.5.141, system version is 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.enUS and it is on android 2.3.6
Thanks in advance, i would greatly appricate it if you could also post file download links.

The best way to do it. Its confirmed working on your version. Look thru the thread for the most current download cuz the op link is dead. I used it on exactly same version you have. :D
