Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $430.00

Motorola Recovery only flashes Motorola signed update.zip. to change this you need a custom recovery. To have a custom recovery flashed you need an unlocked boot loader.

If it was that simple you'd think it wouldn't have been done?
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
You know I am not a Developer and so when you say one of these methods is simple you must realize to me they are all foreign concepts.

Anyways we are trying some new methods.

We cannot get anything to write within the phone what so ever.

Mattlgroff if you ever decide to help let, us know.

Jose has another idea, fingers crossed.

Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $430.00

Lol maybe our best option is like using the razr hd smart drive exploit or other app
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $430.00

Speaking as someone with no experience rooting I agree. I mean same manufacturer,same application. Wouldn't that exploit be hidden within our phones too? Please please please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Update 2/4/2013 8:00pm

Local.prop vanished from my device after hours of testing.

This is strange because we havent been able to even touch local.prop until now.

If we can figure out how to get write permissions again.

Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $555.00

How much are you guys willing to Pay for a pre rooted AtrixHD ?

There's no buy and sell forum here but I was thinking about selling it on craigslist.

Sent from my phone.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TenguSnake:
Well, the biggest pledge here is $100 for a root exploit, so if you're willing to part with your phone for maybe $100 then you should get into contact with one of those pledgers. However, a majority of the bounty is made up of smaller amounts of about $25 or so, so I don't think you'd want sell for that low. Especially a rooted phone, because that right there could fetch you a good asking price on eBay if you're on 4.1.1

[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $565.00

[Motorola Atrix HD] davwman:
Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $565.00

Not bootloader. Carrier unlocked. I used to have the boot loader unlocked version, until it stopped charging. Moto replaced it with this one brand new.

[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Using my RAZR i on T-Mobile and AT&T US... the others work just as well.

Its not Motorola. Its Verizon. And AT&T.

Any phone branded for them, they make Motorola lock down. Its the same for the HTC One X on AT&T, and the Galaxy/DROID line on Verizon.

tldr; Motorola HAS unlocked them, you just keep buying AT&T phones, not Motorola phones ;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $565.00

They don't have unlocked phones with lte
[Motorola Atrix HD] TenguSnake:
What I've been thinking of doing for about a week is to go into my AT&T store and negotiate with them to get an unlock code. I'm quite persuasive, but I have no idea if they'll oblige or not. At least I'll still be on AT&T and going nowhere fast... Worth a shot, I suppose. If it doesn't work then I'll be right back here :D
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $565.00

The people at At&t probably consider giving unlock codes out is a sin. I'm not going to even try.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Atrix HD Developer Edition has AT&T LTE.

RAZR HD XT925 has LTE.

RAZR M XT905 has LTE.

They will not allow you to unlock your bootloader.

They can't even unlock your phone for carrier switching unless you're off contract.

Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $565.00

Everything I read online was telling me otherwise. I would of course get it had I known. Thank you Matt, still I'm going to hold out for root.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TenguSnake:
I agree, I bet they give those things out like they give out free contracts. One of the reasons I feel it may work is because my family has had a contract with AT&T since 1980, so I could use that as leverage. If it works (which it may not) then I'll still keep my pledge active. And, if it doesn't work, I'll just shrug my shoulders and gladly pay someone for an exploit.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TTLayland:
Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $565.00

I will keep my pledge. I'm not going to dangle a reward and then just take it back. I want this done to piss off At&t.
[Motorola Atrix HD] TenguSnake:
Oh of course, if anyone were to do that I wouldn't consider that person a man. I plan to keep my pledge whether my idea works or not, because I want other people to be able to have the exploit. I'm utterly pissed that AT&T does this to their loyal customers. I can only imagine how other people feel who are in the same boat as us.

Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $595.00

If your curious about updates I've been at work the past two days and so no testing has happened.
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Theres a guy on this forum I had an argument with, and he was ready to die that at&t isn't responsible for locking them down, he is a contractor for them in a pretty high position and every manager he talked to about it at at&t reportedly doesn't know anything about locking them down. He just misses one thing, the company has 10'000+ employees, and its probably the lawyers/statistics department who order it and software guys who deliver it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marcelarr:
Great news!
[Motorola Atrix HD] popfan:
TTLayland, please don't encourage these guys to look for updates. It will go bad for you and everyone that know anything about development is that it takes time and life happens. Just hint for your sanity.

Which is exactly why such a big bounty should go to the bootloader being unlocked
[Motorola Atrix HD] tcf38012:

Re: Pledge for Root Bounty / $605.00

Lets see if he wants any for his work. Although I'm sure he will want some to go to the red cross. That you are probably right about.
[Motorola Atrix HD] djrbliss:
$600 is "such a big bounty"? I don't know what universe you're living in, but security consulting rates can vary somewhere between $100 to $300+ *per hour* for most engagements. For someone who's actually qualified to do this type of work, this amount of money is a nice little bonus, but certainly not a huge motivating factor.

Please don't say things like this on my behalf. I've donated bounties to charity organizations in the past, but I also believe I'm entitled to some extra spending money for my time. I'll decide what to do with the money on my own.

[Motorola Atrix HD] marcelarr:
XDA Recognized Developer kholk, member of the EternityProject with the help of XDA Forum Member embeem or [mbm] for short, has released the rumored Kexec project, which allows users to bypass the bootloader signature checks and ignore the fact the bootloader isn’t unlocked. Simply put, this is a giant step forward for Motorola Droid RAZR development. Users can now do pretty much anything that users with unlocked bootloaders can do, including flashing custom kernels. Yeah, pretty exciting stuff. However, this is a beta release and there are some issues

Hey guys! I realize there are similar topics to this but I really need some help that I could not find in the other threads.

Basically I was going into downloading mode and reflashing stock rom when my power went out. Then when my phone restarted it gave me "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" I am using the Hemidall One Click and before I remember it'd recognize the device as "Samsung USB Composite" and know it just shows up as "Unknown Device" which means I can't use Hemidall One Click to hopefully fix my phone.

I've been through a couple of cases, the official and poetic bumpers and pouches and I feel the best way of enjoying the phone is to have both front and back screen protectors (the rear glass scratches very easily, it is not gorilla glass) and then use a pouch aswell.

The screen protectors protect it from scratches, a good pouch should protect it from falls, this is assuming you don't have butter fingers.
