Don't forget that it depends on the carrier if they will allow it. But who knows verizon really doesn't like root users. I believe sprint is the only carrier that doesn't care what you do to your phone.

It says the will ACTIVATE with unlocked. Doesn't say they will give us an opportunity to unlock. Sneaky wording at least that's what I am taking from this until I see my x2 with unlocked BL or Verizon put a statement saying they will allow current users to unlock.

My phone, my rules. I am the customer and I call the shots.
Would be a shame if I misplaced my X2 and had to report it stolen... only to get another and have to sell it for a phone that supports features I am looking for.
Just saying.
Maybe with google on board now they will unlock it since they are doing away with the nexus as a dev phone, alteast that its what I heard.

Lets see if the unlock really happens, I doubt it though !!!

Are they all motorola proprietary files? Meaning we have to wait for a leak before we get them, or does a dev build them from a OTA update?

Wonder if there is truth to this or not.
if it is true then +1 to verizon. tmobile or att would probably allow them even if they were buggy.
Yeah I saw that on phonearena.com this morning. I wonder how often this kinda stuff happens. Moto needs to step up their game bigtime.

Lmao are you kidding me? Have you seen how long it takes AT&T to push out updates to their android phones?
I'd rather have a buggy release sooner because devs on XDA are like 10x faster at fixing them anyways.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Maybe the update also has the possibility to unlock bootloader and Verizon is saying f*&k no, take it back.
probably not, but would suck for vzw users
Hopefully that doesn't delay the Atrix update D:
Forget that. Send it out now. I trust our devs more than moto to fix the bugs and do it better lol.

think about if verizon doesnt let this release because of so many bugs, then think about if att does let it release with all its bugs. people will think att is careless, att doesnt want that im sure.. just my oppinion

It's relevant because the same or similar bugs could exist in the Atrix GB they are developing. Also, if they are putting more resources into making Verizon happy, this could delay an Atrix release.
The whole point of the thread was to raise discussion about the possible implications if this news is in fact true.
I don't think that it should have any effect on our beloved Atrix 2.3 release (AT&T version), coz the bootloader is unlocked, so even if the update will be buggy the skillful devs here at XDA will do there magic to provide us with stable roms.

I believe you are wrong. As soon as the GB update goes live everyone is going to dump the HKTW build and flash the Moto update. At that point everyone is running stock and waiting for devs to fix all their complaints. Yes most of us will not be running stock, but that will be after the update comes.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I'm not dumping the HKTW build until it's been verified that the AT&T 2.3.4 build will have an unlockable bootloader. I've had a couple of friends that got hurt by the Sprint EVO 4G update and are still stuck waiting just to get root back.

Um, I believe none of us can know exactly what will be out. For all you or I know, we could be on the verge of cm7. With most things working.
Of course, a reply I would expect from you is "the devs won't have roms out by then."

No, this is the DROID RAZR's. Unless they're running the same thing (which...I guess could be possible, outside of the radio-related stuff), no.

board-mapphone.c:char *bp_model = "CDMA";
board-mapphone-spi.c: char *cpcap_bp_model = "CDMA"
Just a guess 'cause I didn't have time to check better:
cpcap_bp_model and bp_model should be changed to GSM or it shouldn't be changed at all. The userspace radio layer is in Android ROM and since our MDM6600 (same for DROID RAZR and RAZR) is able to work both in CDMA and GSM mode, the kernel code should be the same. CDMA as bp_model can be only for reference or for changing operational mode in the BP kernel driver.
The kernel should be exactly the same, the only unsure thing is the radio driver, anyway, in case GSM RAZR kernel will be released "too late" we can use this on the GSM RAZR relatively easily. We need in any case the unlocked bootloader for testing what I'm saying but I expect to have the RAZR (GSM) kernel prior that to happen.

That's true, but wouldn't it be wasted work since ICS would entail a new kernel from Moto to start over on anyway?
You don't really expect to see official ICS on the Razr anytime soon, do you? And yes, I know what Motorola told. I also know what they used to tell in the past.
but will this at least allow customs roms like like liberty 3 or cm7??

From what I've seen and heard, being rooted won't prevent you from receiving this OTA, but you will lose root access unless you backup su and temp-unroot with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper or the like.

I wonder if the leaked ICS is the same as the OTA?
The only word anyone's seen is from Best Buy, not Verizon or Moto. The fact that the leak/soak test exists is a sign we're close(but who knows how close). I guess we'll all be really happy, or super pissed tomorrow @3:01 am... Lol

Unlikely to be soon, seeing as there are no known soak tests for ICS on the XT910 yet. Knowing Moto's treatment of their GSM users, we probably won't get an ICS OTA until the MAXX is out over here... in May.

Most likely scenario is that the ICS work was originally being carried out for the GSM RAZR, then someone in management intervened and made the DROID RAZR a priority due to Moto's contract with Verizon. I imagine once the ICS update goes live and there are no showstoppers, they'll continue to QA test the update internally for about a month before pushing it out as a soak test for a week, before finally pushing the release version.

You'll have to go on the Moto forums and update your profile to opt-in with your IMEI. They're still sending out emails but as far as I know they haven't launched the actual test.
