I wouldn't be so sure. I have come very close several times now, so I am sure it is doable, but sadly I will not be the one to do it now that I no longer have my a2, and since I can ONLY barrow it back from the person I sold it to, as needed, that means that I can not risk bricking it for a bootloader unlock (I went through 8 a2 exchanges trying to unlock the bootloader).
[Motorola Atrix 2] GlitchedSoul:

[Motorola Atrix 2] brianmoyano:
I don't know if we're going that fine.

And i'm not blaming the developers, in any case i blame motorola.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Exactly!! we should all being showing moto/google by not buying moto/google until they start unlocking the bootloader BEFORE they leave the factory like the samsung and the nexus line can be or are.

Have done that with 2 devices now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] brianmoyano:
If i'm not wrong, i think that morotola unlocked the bootloader of a few devices. I think was the Razr HD, but, the developer one. Because there are 2 Razr's HD. The normal, and developer option.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Not out of the factory, the Xoom was more like the nexus devices, to where you can do it with a bootloader command, I know becuase I have one of the first Xoom devices, and it was that easy... Now with that website unlock you have to wait until it up on that website to be able to register it and do it...

Here are the list of moto devices that are "un-lockable", the list is very short, and NONE of them are this way from the factory and you have to use thier website, after you "register" that you did it... except the XOOM which again is more like the nexus devices where it just takes a fastboot command, and no reigstering that you did it and losing warranty.

See with my Xoom, I was able to unlock it and flash Cyanogen, then when I got the LTE upgrade, I was able to re-lock it and flash the stock image back on it and sent it in to motorola for the harware upgrade, all still under warranty.

Here is list of devices, that can be un-locked via the website unlock, but losing warranty:

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215

Notice the Xoom is listed under "other", for the reason I mention above. So moto is still screwing everyone even with the current "unlock" ability.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Jim,

I've mostly fallen on the 'absent' side of the Atrix 2 forums, and more so with the use/testing/amateur development endeavors I once had going of the device itself. That being said, I'd be more than willing to give you my A2 if you still have any interest in trying to see the unlocking of the bootloader to fruition. If not, no worries. I know you are close to me (geographically), so its yours if you so desire. If not, I'll stash it back in my nightstand.

I can't even really practically use it, since my primary device and secondary device both use a micro SIM, so swapping is a PIA and an annoyance. However, if you are just not interested, my offer would stand to any reputable dev who would like it for use in testing. I'd be willing to FedEx it to one of the devs here, on my dime. The phone works just fine, though I'm not sure of the SIM tray after using an 'adapter' which was shoddy at best.

Just thought I'd make this available to you first, being the one who has the most extensive experience and knowledge of the avenues to explore in the unlocking -with no fear of bricking or otherwise as this would be a 'no strings', 'low risk' proposal.

Let me know,

Apex

Edit: My contribution would still stand if you or anyone manages to unlock the BL, regardless if I no longer own the device.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Matthew Kane:
I know, I have seen your attempts through kexec and I myself have attempted other ways, but the catch is by the time the A2 is unlocked the phone itself will be very outdated. With newer offerings coming out from competing brands, more powerful and cheaper solutions I don't think there will be another 'Jimbridgeman' lurking around here unlocking BL's. I started realising Moto's trend of locking down the bootloader from the time the Milestone (Droid 1) was released. It's sad they don't have their devices like the old Cliq days.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
I managed to get mbmloader_ns.bin on mbmloader partition using directdump in recovery.. unfortunately that bricked my device.. the only sign of life I found was that the white led glows when plugged to comp without battery.. even "dmesg | grep -e tty" dosent recognize it.. the mbmloader_ns checks for omap_dev_type? tried formatting an sdcard as given in omappedia put MLO, u-boot.bin and the uImage. didnt help.. so I tried putting mbmloader.bin in it and put the kernel from boot.img.. just a clarification, mbmloader is just MLO (that is modified by moto) and mbm is u-boot.bin right? sent it to service centre now.. the razr and bionic have a 'brdl.bin' and 'pbrdl.bin' which are just the signed MLO and uboot which are signed and can be sent from pc.. you think that might work for us as well? coudnt try as I found them after sending my device..
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No, The ONLY shot is to use a root kit and boot off the sdcard, google that.... and with the root kit you will need to change the device to show as an NS device not an HS. The one issue is that there are efuses on the board that set the NS or HS setting, so you will need to find a few utils that will let you "fake" that, to flash the NS bootloader properly, and also show the device as an NS on every boot (hence the rootkit and the libs and utils that you will need to include with it).
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
are you talking bout this or this? have tried the second (after bricking).

you say "flash NS bootloader properly". so 'write_raw_data' and dd dont perform the same function?

hey I have an idea,

since you say its possible to get temp unlock, which allows us to boot unsigned boot.img, what if I unpack the recovery.img, replace the keys in them with test keys, repack, boot using it, which will put my phone in stock recovery. now I will create a zip file that is signed with test keys which flashes mbmloader. now since I have replaced the keys in recovery, the signature check will be passed. and the bootloader will be flashed properly. what do you say? might work? :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] hankbizzo5:
Wow I am glad to see that there are people still interested in cracking the bootloader.....
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
+1 paying for a miracle lol!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Nope, you MUST use moto's signature to sign it.... That is a 1024 bit signature with a root RSA key/cypher.

Again the method I laid out is the only way that we have been able to come close with. The only other way is bypassing with kexec, but again that is only a temp boot.

PM me, we should be discussing this offline. Every time I have posted my efforts, moto has patched them.

No raw_write and did are not the same. You will not be able to "flash" anything with the stock utils. You will have to boot with an alternate boot.img the ns bootloader and the rootkit being in the boot.img or ROM files.... All from the sdcard.

Next you will have to have some form of CWM to flash the NS image, since the phone should be seen as an NS device with the rootkit and boot.img.

Again I am being vague on purpose... We can talk through PM or IRC if need be... Just PM me and we will go from there.

[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Improbable not Impossible

I am sure you know of Jim's background and I asked this question myself & his response is this "it's not impossible but improbable". All possible options have been tried by him over the last year plus & if I am correct going through over half a dozen hardbricks. It finally boils down to the official leak of the Cypher key codes I guess or else don't know if some cryptanalyst needs to step in . See this http://science.howstuffworks.com/code-breaker.htm heck Moto keeps tabs on these threads as well to circumvent all best efforts so it needs to be on PM only.

So back in the day the xt865 got scrapped due to performance issues. What are the chances that A: we can find an image of the test phones software. And B: we can flash the bootloader from that test phone? Mb865 is the reincarnation of the xt865

[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
A: some of our friends do have the test handsets.. Look around in the forum..

B: no we can't flash the images from that phone.. It will hard brick your device..

The only way to change the bootloader is by direct dumping to it.. And that's a one shot.. You either get it or your phone is dead.. Once you corrupt your bootloader, even moto can't repair it.. They will only replace the motherboard..

Problems rooting

Hey. I've been trying to root my phone. But I even haven't been able to unlock the bootloader. The fastboot just gets stuck at waiting for device and does not proceed. I have downloaded and installed the latest USB drivers from Google's Android SDK, but still fastboot does not list my device. Any ideas what might be causing the problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zhosakic:
Prompt please recovery from your archive in English?

Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] morn_06:
>> I had the sample problem but i installed the HTC Sync Manager and then it worked.

It seems that the USB drivers of the device are not in the SDK from Google but in HTC's software.

i didn't understand how to "run the recovery bat file...while connecting the phone in fastboot usb mode." or "run bat file from desire vc recovery to install recovery.(phone in fastboot mode)"

EDIT: I've successfully rooted my phone!

Here is what you have to do:

1. Unlock bootloader (following htcdeveloper's instructions) - It took me sometime and i got stuck with the "waiting for device" for a while but then i installed HTC Sync Manager and i could finish that 1st step successfully. (When i go to the bootloaed i can see "Unlocked")

2. Copy the file "recovery.bat" (which was a chinese file "点我运行.bat" so i had to rename into "recovery.bat") at the root of the internal memory and i also put the folder "files" (which was with it from the .rar i downloaded) including: adb.exe / AdbWinApi.dll / AdbWinUsbApi.dll / fastboot.exe / recovery.img

(i'm not sure that is useful but i did it)

3. Copy the file "root.zip" at the root of the SD Card BUT rename it "update.zip"

4. Selected the "debugging mode" and "disk drive" as choice per default when i plug the USB cable

(i'm not sure that is useful but i did it)

5. I restarted the device and go to the bootloader. (Pressing both "Power button" + "Volume -")

6. The menu is : Hboot / Fastboot / Recovery / Factory reset / Simlock

Choose "Fastboot" and plug the USB cable ("Fastboot" became "Fastboot USB")

From your computer, launch "recovery.bat" file, a window will appear, press "Enter" and wait a few seconds.

7.a. On your phone (you should have now a menu in chinese), select to the 2nd line (using the volume buttons) and press you power button

b. Select the line where you can see the words "SD" and "update.zip" between the chinese caracters and press the power button.

c. Wait a few seconds, you should see some messages and then confirmation of the root.

8. Your phone is rooted, you can reboot and enjoy :)

Press Thanks if it worked for you!
