When you connect it knows which phone you are connecting from, so that you get the correct update file. This process works for every Moto phone that can accept an update. Yeah I thought about using wget or something like that too, but no, this HAS to be run from the phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] ari197:
Hmm.. could it be using some kind of string (like user-agent)?

I'll try to do some snoop once i have my atrix and try to help more..
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
If you take a look at the original cheescake thread, from the guy who wrote the app, he and several devs have tried everything, and it can only be done from the phone, It has something to do with the connection, and type, not protocol type, so if there is a way to fake the app on the other end, and no it is not just a simple 3 tier system they are running, it is a little more complex than that. Trust me others have tried many things for a little over a year now.

If you want to help out, and sounds like you are quite capable of this. Go post in the thread below and come help the other 2, yes 2 devs in this forum. I am a UNIX/Linux guy both professionally and personally, and all the tools are in Linux.

I guarantee that right now this thread is a waste of time, as Moto has said they are not unlocking bootloaders anymore. And there is a lawsuit brewing, from what it looks like.

Just go post in that thread about doing dev work and lfaber06 and I will add you to our contacts, he and I have been working side by side for the last several weeks now, and I have been ever since the day this pone came out so...

[Motorola Atrix 2] protoism:
you seem to be suggesting that the xoom root method works for the xoom 2. This has not been covered many times before as far as i am aware there is no confirmed root method for xoom2, and as you note no forum, so we ask where we can. If you can use xoom method on xoom 2 which method - and do u get around the locked booloader. Sorry for doing this in the 'wrong' place. Thx in advance.
[Motorola Atrix 2] koriflame:
I believe this is the Atrix 2 forum and the topic is about unlocking out bootloader, not about rooting Xoom tablets. Can we please stay on track?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No, the fact that this is not the root thread and to go do a search has been covered many times before.

As I told someone else through a PM, you will find what you are looking for by using google, and trying out several other things to root your Xoom2. We figured out to root our Atrix2 by trying something that worked for a similar device, all I am saying is that you guys need to start doing some things for yourselves, that is how I have learned and figured things out. Don't just sit a wait for someone to hand you the solution, sometimes you need to work for the solution and try things out on your own.

P.S. that is not directed to anyone on the Atrix 2 forum, as this place shares things very well, and for the most part does try things out of the box to find the solutions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1437040

Looks like they might have found a way to unlock the RAZR bootloader. this could be good news for us.

I also saw another thread, about someone who did actually have theirs unlocked, from first turning it on out of the box, and he was in spain. So... hopefully one of these can translate into something for us to look into.

cool. maybe it wont be long now.

I saw that their bootloader is. A0.65 and so is ours. Are they the same?

and if it is the same can we use theirs?
[Motorola Atrix 2] protoism:
Having being a member of XDA for a few years i of course did do a search first - in fact have been searching/googling and trying different things om my zoom 2 for a few weeks. Surely one of the advantages of a place like XDA is that one does not have to spend ages searching the haystack of google endlessly. What is this you guys us guys stuff anyway? we are all into the same stuff and hampered by motorolas and other companies policies. Again sorry for posting in the not appropiate thread, but is it really necessary to be so proprieatary.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
Yes sorting through haystacks of data is necessary it's called research.don't like it? Find a new hobby. It's not about " you guys us guys" it's about this device that device. Staying focused and ORGANIZED so that there is less b.s. to sort through when someone wants to learn about the device this subforum is for.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Did a Google search for XOOM 2 root and funny thing happened....I didn't find the ATRIX 2 bootloader unlock thread. :eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
We've examinated with Skrilax_CZ (Thanks man!) the whole situation and unfortunately we've discovered that the bootloader we've got is only a different one.

We still don't know with precision in what does it differ, it shows "Factory Use Only" on Fastboot Mode and it is SIGNED, so it can be flashed on retail RAZRs without any problem, but still, the unlock procedure is disabled and it can't be enabled.

We've tried multiple ways 'til now and I'm sorry to say that: nothing to do. It wasn't of any help.

I can't explain more on the things we've tried, but the bad thing is that the guy where we've taken the bootloader from has got a really strange device, it is a RETAIL EU device but its OMAP4430 is soldered in GP Mode (like the Engineering phones), so its security is disabled by eFuse.

I can explain just one thing for you, as I feel somehow in debt with you all because I've raised everyone's hopes in that thing:

When the bootloader is loaded, it first checks for a value of an eFuse. If the eFuse that determines the device security (RETAIL or ENGINEERING) is blown it is recognized as RETAIL. If it isn't blown it is recognized as ENGINEERING.

Our eFuse is set to RETAIL, so that the bootloader checks other eFuses to determine if the device has been manually unlocked or not.

That guy's eFuse is set to ENGINEERING, so that the bootloader won't check other eFuses and goes on directly with the UNLOCKED status.

That guy's device isn't an engineering one because other parameters of its device doesn't correspond to an engineering device. It's a really strange device, but something is different on the hardware side: we don't know if its OMAP is soldered to GP or HS Mode, but we're sure its eFuse is set to ENGINEERING and, unfortunately, the fuses cannot be blown TWO times because they're One Time Programmable "memories", so we cannot reprogram our fuse.

I would like to really say thanks to adlx.xda for his device's dumps and to those who trusted us and gave us the possibility to test it on their devices with a good chance of hardbricks. (Sorry if I don't say your nicknames guys, we've talked on GTalk and I can't clearly remember your xda nicknames!)

Thanks guys, without you, we would have never known the truth on this.

Oh, another word to the testers. Please, don't make this bootloader to be public prior I will: I don't know if WE CAN upload it to the public or not.

As for now, I'm sad to announce that this TEST has been failed.

This thread will be closed in an hour or so.

The EternityProject Team Manager,

--kholk

This is what the dev had to say. Total bummer.

What if we made it think that it found the efuse the determines security? Is that possible?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Well, I am still on the lookout, and talking with the other devs of the other Moto phones, in hopes that we all find something sooner rather than later. I still have some hope that we will find something, but with the FCC complaints, and the other complaints about Moto's locked bootloaders, I don't have as much hope as I once did.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
i agree. its like they want to control what you do with your phone. reminds me of the good ol iphone days. er the bad ol days i suppose. itunes this itunes that.

im on the lookout as well. if i see anything that looks promising ill let everybody know in the

BOOTLOADER UNLOCK THREAD FOR THE ATRIX 2

lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah that is why after the OG iphone, and my recieving a cease and desist letter from Apple, I bailed and came over here, and started with a G1 derivative, the fender phone, on 1.6, and have been hacking these things ever since.

LOL... you sure this is not the Xoom 2 thread, I am confused.... shows me, not to mention my other devices EVER again in here. :)

With the emergence of more than one razr with an unlocked bootloader I was wondering if everyone here had double checked theirs?
[Motorola Atrix 2] PeteSeiler2010:
I checked mine as soon as I saw that "special" razr...mine is locked... :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
strange mine doesnt say locked or unlocked. am i doing something wrong? where can i find the info? i thought i just held both volume rockers and power on. says "AP fastboot Flash Mode (s)" 0A.65

i know on the razr is says locked or unlocked and gives a value of 1 - 4 but i dont have that either.

maybe "s" is for special lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
No it means stuck like the rest of us :p
[Motorola Atrix 2] Zoide_:
Mine says:

--------------------------------

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)

0A.65

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

I got excited there for a moment because it didn't say LOCKED. Then I read mtnlion's post and he crushed my dreams :P
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
dammit! well back to cheesecake! :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] Zoide_:
So... I guess there has been no progress at all both on the technical and #OPMOSH fronts?
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Nope. Still faithfully checking though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] holeshot77:
Me too. Tedious but just checked every server.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Starting to think we probably won't find one unless Motorola gives us one.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Same here but I keep trying...maybe this new update will bring a unlocked bootloader
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
What update?
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Check out the owners forum @ the Motorola website.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dk-v1:
Guess I'm missing something there...

I see an update thread (ATRIX 2: AT&T Software Update News). But it has been the same since I first joined their forums. Nothing has been posted about any updates, just that if any info on an update comes out, they'll post it there.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
It won't be much longer. If all goes well anyways
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Motorola asked for 1000 test users of the Atrix2 to test a yet unreleased update. It will be tested then released to the public like 2 or so weeks after testing completes, and the users give their feedback. It is a relatively short test period. I am quite sure this will be the 2.3.7 update, not ICS. I also highly doubt that will have an unlocked bootloader, given the fact that it is a release candidate.

Here is the link in the General section, discussing this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1393987
[Motorola Atrix 2] mtnlion:
There is nothing wrong with positive thoughts and wishful thinking.;)
[Motorola Atrix 2] Deliberate:
Did the og atrix come with an unlocked bootloader? What happens if none of the updates have an unlocked bootloader, is it possible to unlock it regardless?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No the OG Atrix did not come with an unlocked bootloader, and they had to wait about 6 months for a European/Chinese version to actually have and unlocked bootloader that they could then make an image of and create a flash-able version of, here on XDA.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Zoide_:
If only Motorola could keep their fscking "late 2011" promise and provide bootloader unlocks for their phones!!! :mad:
[Motorola Atrix 2] tylercarter:
Yup that would have been cool
[Motorola Atrix 2] theandre:
I really want to believe that they decided to bother 1000 users because it is a significant update. Why would motorola need 1000 testers for a minor update from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7 ?

Something is weird
[Motorola Atrix 2] Zoide_:
Well, why wouldn't they? It's not like they have to pay the beta testers.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
If you go read the Motorola forums for this phone, you will see a TON of complaints about bugs, and Motorola is always just denying that there are any, but I will tell you that I have inside sources at AT&T, they are my client, and this is not ICS, I promise.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alcatel444:
I am sure of that too , not because of a source , it's very obvious.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I agree, as well as it is way too soon, and the fact that the RAZR has not been updated yet should also give it away.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Official ICS for the A2 will be a long way away if it will come. However, CM9 is just a matter of time...
[Motorola Atrix 2] theandre:
Any proofs for that ? I really want to believe in this but so far your statement seems to be non-substantiated. Given the lack of significant community support, I really doubt CM9 will ever be available in it's full form on A2.

Do you guys think Motorola will fix Wifi issues with this update?

So far the only bug I can experience is related to Wifi.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Dude, where have you been for the last 2 months?

Both lfaber06 and I have gotten more done for this phone than most see in that same amount of time. This phone is only 90 days old.

Heck he has released 2 different ROMs, and been working on porting CM9, while I have gotten CIQ out of our hair, gotten webtop running on the SDcard, and several other hacks, and I am getting ready to release CM7. You will most likely see more support from he and I than Moto. Besides you mis quoted cogeary, he was talking about two different things "offical ICS" and CM9, I hate to tell you but there is not such thing as offical Cyanogenmod, as that is a group of programmers who work to get devices running that build of Andriod, and When someone ports it, that person then creates a depot, and then reports it to the Cyanogenmod team / site, and they then list that as a port for the device in question, it is much like Linux, which I also am a part of programming the kernel on, and there is no "offical" linux kernel dev team... That is what opensource is.

P.S. what is it with you and proof of everything. Just look around it is all right here in these forums.

[Motorola Atrix 2] theandre:
Sorry guys, my bad
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
I got accepted into the 1000 user test. To me it seems like they already have the final build of whatever they are pushing out but want to push it out to a limited audience first, and see what happens. THEN roll it out to everyone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yep, that is exactly what they are doing, and It will most likely be 2.3.7 since we have seen that lately in cheesecake. The full release will be two weeks from the day the test is completed, it is a FULL release, and not a pre-release or a test of any kind, don't expect an unlocked bootloader in it. Be aware, that you will lose root, and probably not be able to get it back, since there has not been an official root method found for 2.3.7 yet.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alcatel444:
Wow cool i was afraid that we won't be able to get it here on XDA early . please share it with our wonderful developers when you get it. You will get million thanks i can assure that :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
No root is fine, I actually don't even have my phone rooted right now.

I will post up what I get as soon as I get it. I may need some help if it's an OTA update (where are the files that you'd need) but yeah, for sure.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Thanks, but, I already have several in here that have contacted me through PM. I would rather not mention who they are. Please don't contact us if you have not already.

I have a select group of people who are going to get me what I / we need from the updates, and both lfaber06 and I will be able to get what we need to get the updates out, to everyone thorough our hacks and ROMs. Again if you have not already contacted me, and we have talked about it through PM, please refrain..... I have had a lot of requests to get the data for us, and I thank everyone of you who have contacted me, or would like to, but we / I have spoken with the individuals who I have asked to get it already.

Thanks again everyone!
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
Sounds like it's all taken care of then, sweet. I am excited, there is definitely good things coming for us :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Hummm, I am scratching my head here..... If you are not rooted, then how do you know root is working for the 2.3.7 update? If you used ota rootkeeper, that does not tell us if it is "rootable" or not, and as I have read in many other places 2.3.7 is much harder to root, out of the box, because they have plugged all the holes we previously used to get root.
[Motorola Atrix 2] extide:
Sorry, I don't believe I said anything about rooting 2.3.7.

2.3.7 hasn't even been pushed yet and I don't have it yet.

The post that you quoted was me acknowledging that having no root is fine, and then saying that I don't even have my phone rooted right now (on 2.3.5).

It appears you read it as, "No, root is fine." Note the punctuation. Quite a different meaning :)

EDIT: On second thought, OTA rootkeeper might not be a bad idea. Might as well root it now on 2.3.5 so if I happen to want root after the update and I kept the files somewhere safe then I will be good to go.
[Motorola Atrix 2] duplissi:

[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
Quick question. Will custom roms such as cm7 or CM9 still have webtop or Ubuntu functionality?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
As far as I know, no. There may be some sort of hack to get it to work...but neither of those are native capabilities of CM.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
What I have done with my CM7 build, that I am working on, is implement the doc app, and the other pieces needed to make that stuff still work. These ROMs will NOT touch or update any part of the /osh partition or complete or change any webtop hacks that were done, and if you did the webtop without a doc hack, that will need to be redone after the flash. In other words, yes webtop/ubuntu still works.

Now, in general I am still having a lot of issues with getting certain things working in CM7, that should work already, but I am closer to figuring most of them out.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
Thanks for the replies. I just got my atrix 2 today, It's still on the 2.3.5 version, should I upgrade to 2.3.6 or stay where I'm at? I see that root is still available on 2.3.6. But the bootloader unlock is for 2.3.5? Is there work being done on 2.3.6 for a bootloader unlock? Can ubuntu be installed in both 2.3.5 and 2.3.6? What is lost/gained from going to 2.3.6? I downloaded the 2.3.6 update but told it install later.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Wait, let's clarify...

-At the moment we can NOT unlock the A2's bootloader

-This app contained in the first post of this thread DOES work with the latest update

-Ubuntu for Android was only recently announced and is not officially implemented in any device. If you mean webtop, then yes it is still in the update. If you mean the full Ubuntu in Webtop hack, then I am not sure if that will work.

What you can do is just make a CWM backup before you update and then you can restore to 2.3.5 if you don't like it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dudemaaan:
Yeah I noticed it was a work in progress. I saw on the beginners guide the following

"HOW TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER FOR ANDROID 2.3.5"

So I thought maybe the bootloader unlock work was only being done for 2.3.5.

I was refering the the full Ubuntu in webtop. I'm going to put CWM on in just a few. Thanks

EDIT: Okay I rooted 2.3.5, installed CWM and doing a backup, Afterwards I will update to 2.3.6 and re-root. Fun stuff
[Motorola Atrix 2] vanvn297:
so, can anyone explain me what is the point of doing the work in post 1? if our bootloader is still locked?
