Hi all, I have a htc aria with att, and I was offered this phone to get tomorrow. I was wondering if there are a lot of roms on this phone. Because I was browsing through the atrix android development and I just saw a bunch of mods. Also if you can tell me if this phone is worth it?

No custom roms yet but soon.
Thanks for the quick reply, so do you think I should get this phone tomorrow?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I personally do. My last phone was also the aria. Even though the aria had custom roms this phone stock blew it out of the water.
I also came from a attn1 liberated aria. The atrix blows it out of the water stock and now that the bootloader its unlocked its going to blow everything away. Personally the webtop hack has saved my ass many times at work with presentations. I gave my wife the aria, now she wants a atrix.

I had an Aria and gave it up quick for the Captivate. I like the Atrix better than the others hands down! The roms are coming soon we just now have an unlocked bootloader.
Thanks, I will more than likely get the atrix tomorrow! , so I will be entering your forums
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Atrix is the path! I'm sure u already know that unlocked bootloader is just the tiniest first step, maybe the devs need some time, but i'm really sure the results will worth all the waiting.

Hello
I'm thinking of getting an atrix
But have heard of a locked bootloader on Motorola devices what does this mean
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
there wont be any custom ROMs for the phone until someone is able to get past it without bricking theirs.. if you are not the kind to flash custom ROMs onto your phones, this probably wont affect you much.

The bootloader is what loads up the operating sytem in very simple terms. By locking or signing it, it means that we need to present motorola's certificate every time we want to load a custom ROM/kernel.
Though what he says is true, you can still root the phone, install pseudo-custom ROMs (they are all right here in the forums) and do tons of other things.
This is still a great great phone though and probably the best in the market in my opinion.

yeah moto stuff is pretty locked down..
they cracked the atrix though
A Friend of mine here got one.
On Stock, it really sux, but the last update removed all the "Blur" crap.
The Kernel can be Unlocked also, and there is a few custom roms (But a good part doesn't recognise the Dock OR the fingerprint sensor).
If i was you, i would wait sometime. Nexus Prime and a few other phones are about to be launched. (And speaking frankly. The Motorola design trully sux, lol)

I agree with lord Baal here, but the atrix is great if your with ATT, you need a updated phone now, and it has a very low price at the moment if your ready for an upgrade.
The phone itself is very fast once modded. Look at my cm7 pics in my profile of the atrix in my profile. I have some stats ran by cf-bench that are amazing and pass a sgs2 if your running cm7 beta.
I believe the atrix is right next to the sgs2 in every category. Don't count this phone out. I would of waited for something better but my x10 was too slow for school things I had to do so I bought the atrix. I am glad I did.

We are all keeping it a secret and not posting about it.
Lol, just curious if any devs have news about this, like if it is still in the works, and possibly done, just not posted yet.
I'm with deeds on this one. With all of the recent updates and new kernels and whatnot, its hard to decipher exactly where we stand with this phone, as far as progress. A quick recap of whats been happening would be great.
I love your screen name, it is so awesome, lol.

Update, its not fixed yet. Limited time plus lack of help= slow progress. However by unlocking you can have cm7, miui(oops secrets out), oc kernels, and other awesomeness. Imagine 60% increase in speed while increasing battery life massively. Thats how we mophos roll.

Same here, no ROM on my phone until there's an unlocked bootloader from Motorola/Sprint that keeps 4G. For now, its just a rooted phone with ADW launcher.

I have the photon with an unlocked bootlaoder, I had it rooted but for some reason couldn't flash cwm. So I tried unrooting and returning back to stock following qbking77s how to video. But it told me process failed and phone would just stick at motorola dual core screen. So I reflashed the unlocked version I had and can't undo it! Please help.

I suggest that you start your own thread, (I don't have an issue with you posting about this here), but you'd get more responses for help if you post in a new thread. The only people that will read this are the few with bootloader news, like I said, the few. But, if you ask for help in a new thread, chances are, you'll find what you're looking for. Good luck!
You can unlock your bootloader, flash cm7 (or your rom of choice), and relock your bootloader, and then voila.
CM7 with 4g.
But dont use those as exact intructions LOL.
Theyre are threads about it. Look in the dev section.
You might want to try that out before you suggest it.

I was actually going to post my own thread for devs to give 4g updates hehe
I really appreciate what you devs are doing! Ill always be open to help if you need any, im not a developer but interested in learning and am pretty damn good at the basics of rooting/build.prop recovery etc..
One question (even though i should prob make my own thread im not in a hurry to get the answer plus its half the same subject) i have the cmw RECOVERY, ive been out of town and since im normally in kansas city (sprints headquarters, so perfect 4g everywhere) i just wanted to check, if i have cmw RECOVERY does this mean ive lost 4g?

I've been using the 198_6 sbf with no serious issues and was wondering if I should flash the 198_7 sbf. Are there any major enhancements or benefits?
Im wondering the same, Im from Ecuador so I use gsm. Updating will cause any trouble?
Funny, I tried to root like 2 weeks ago and messed it up. I put on 198_7 and my phone as been a dream every since. Bluetooth and Pandora work great. No dropped calls. GREAT battery. Web is fast. Facebook is flawless. Youtube is fast on 3G. Camera is great. Thats why I have "Root no more" in my siggy!
Can anyone see what has been changed in 198_7 compared to 198_6? I know Motorola has not officially released it yet nor have they provided any documentation.
Any guess as to why 198_7 hasn't been OTA'd yet? Do you think M found a problem with it? It was leaked so long ago...
sorry sjamie, I canot answer your question and likely could not tell the difference if I put my mind to it!!! All I can say is, my phone works flawless!
Dsims, did you have any problems with 198_6?

To be honest, I have no clue what I was on before. I rooted and unlocked @ 2 months back. 2 weeks ago EXACTLY today I decided I wanted CM9 for a spin. **** went downhill and Shabby gave me 198_7 and I have been cool every since?
Just keep in mind 2 things, most important, make sure you have 100% battery (I did not, had to cut USB cable and tie white wire to + and black wire to -. You cannot use phone to charge, I have wall charger now) Lastly, you loose everything, just like the day you got it from the Sprint Store!
Sprint/Motorola did officially release 198.7. I know because while in the US the update was pushed to my phone.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Motorola nor Sprint officially released 198_7. I do have the SBF for it and will probably flash it due to dsims' sheer enthusiasm!
Loki hosts the SBFs if you want any of them in the future

And yeah I think you guys are right, last I looked at motos support page for the photon (3 days ago) it was _6 as the official.
Do you have to be rooted to flash the latest sbf? My wifes photon has been laggy lately. Especially when opening the app drawer.

Hi all.
My wife's phone recently played out for the third time within a year (D2). When they replaced it this time they sent her a completely different phone.
Well she liked my DX2 better so I got the other (sam strat) phone. I had planned on moving to another phone in the not so distant future but looks like I got moved sooner then I thought. (Still gonna get a different phone in the near future)
The DX2 community on here is incredible, and I am sure that goes without saying and everyone of you guys and gals know that! I will miss my phone and the community but it's time to move on I suppose. I wish you all the best, I am sure I will stop in from time to time to check up on things.
DK, your an awesome Dev. and I think more so then that you seem to be a super guy from what one can get to know someone else through communicating over the internet / forums. Thanks man for all your time and effort!
GL all.
Don't be a stranger and be sure to stop in from time to time. When I got my Gnex, the thought crossed my mind that I may not frequent the DX2 community as much. But I just can't let it go. Other areas here on XDA just don't offer what is abundant here. By far the best on the web, hands down.
Best of luck in your future endeavors...neighbor!

Guess I will see you over on rootzwiki then? They have a forum for the Stratosphere. Rooting+flashing isn't so bad once you learn how to use odin. It's definitly a lot easier rooting the x2, but oh well. Still stuck with 2 or 3 roms too which are all tweaked versions of stock because the radio interface layer is locked by samsung. They say we're supposed to get ICS(only reps, no official updates), but won't give out any dates or anything. Oh well.
I reccommend tweaked 2.2. Pretty awesome!
