[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krkeegan:
I would also like to reevaluate my pledge.

I partially feel bad for revoking my pledge, but I think the focus is shifting from unlocking to developing.

I would like to reallocate my $50 pledge to encourage more developers to work on the Atrix. I think the best way to do that is to buy phones for devs who need them (CM7, MIUI) and donate to those who have been working on the Atrix all along.

$3300 is a lot of money to throw around which could really spur some awesome development. But I am afraid that if someone doesn't step forward with a plan soon, the $3300 in pledges will soon disappear and we will have lost a great opportunity.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
If we give some to the developers, who do we give it to? The only successful "bypassing" method was 2nd init...

Or do you mean ditch the whole bounty thing and just have everyone (who's willing) give their money to other devs like Kenn or something?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msd24200:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikenley:
You could always give me the money.... :-P

Jokes aside:

But in all fairness, I believe Edgan has earned a slice of the Pie with his 2nd Init port, he also went and purchased a Engineering device to build kexec which he doesn't need now. So if we can compensate him for the $400 he's out of pocket on that, that would be awesome.

As for the remaining donations, keep hold of it. There is more development Mods/Roms on their way now that we have access.

So stick to the usual Donation system. Donate to the Devs that get your device working the way you want.

Wait...what about The2nCour and the other devs who released the methods to unlock the bootloader before Motorola did? They produced as promised.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexxusty:
No they didn't. LOL, I could have done what they did just as easily, pathetically easy in fact. They took someone else's work (Motorola's) and re packaged it.

Furthermore they didn't do ANYTHING for you, as you most likely have a Canadian Atrix.

The bounty deserves to go to someone who Unlocks the other bootloaders. Just because the AT&T Atrix is unlocked, means nothing. There are 6 other countries waiting for it.

Which are far more important than the US. No offence, but 99% of the people who utilized the BL Unlock were complete n00bs. And none of them Dev's.

(I lost my 3g, blah blah blah)

Oh, and you're a traitor for typing that and not even knowing why you're completely wrong.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakano:
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eval-:
I think you'll notice that the people who noticed the HKTW held that secret (me :-p) and worked on repacking the leaked AT&T CG into an .sbf (yes, neither were complicated tasks) were also part of a group who: got 2nd-init working, who were struggling with kexec, who found tricks to unlock your webtop, who found you a super-easy way to root ANY .sbf, and who were in general just poking the system every which way to find a solution for custom ROMs. It's unnecessary to either praise or give undue credit, but its not like we sat on our hands all day until we happened to get lucky (which yes, did happen.)

Re: a "true unlock," let's be honest, the last generation of Motorola's are still locked after 1-2yrs and much smarter and more experienced people have been beating their heads against it and produced excellent documentation of the process:

www.droid-developers.org

http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/2010/08/clearly-you-have-no-idea-what-efuse-is.html

Unless Motorola's recent phones utilize a vastly more insecure boot chain on Atrix (and the Tegra2 patent documentation suggests it's at least as clever, plus I assure you Moto implemented their whole signature chain system in addition, given the number of times I've stared at "Failed to boot [2/4]") there was very little chance of it being unlocked. Perhaps there is a hardware flaw and some wizard with a JTAG will figure it out. I'm not holding my breath.

I think Irwin's approach was much more direct and it looks, much more successful! I don't think anyone should be opening their wallets for Motorola's work and I also find paypal links and people who troll for donations repugnant, and am disgusted by people who make promises and don't deliver. But to my knowledge, no one claimed to have unlocked the bootloader or dared to claim any bounty for it, so this is very confusing. I don't like that this becomes about money (IMHO, unless you need some hardware.)

That said, there is a lot of hard work ahead and some people seem eager to donate to someone, and others want some reward for their efforts, which is why I started this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15037842

If you're not on AT&T, and are itching to donate and want a kernel solution, I would suggest opening a kexec bounty. There are people who would work on that and it will be much easier to debug now that we can load custom kernels on AT&T Atrixes. With 2nd-init + kexec you can profit from any port of CM7 or anything else to AT&T Atrix (although I highly suspect you'll all get an official or leaked bootloader solution fairly soon.) Even with 2nd-init alone ROMs will be possible, which is why I fixed it for Gingerbread Atrixes:

I will be happy to contribute with $ 30 when it is done - I hope you will set up a system where you remind everybody.
