do I need to have an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom rom? Or can I use koush's moto a4 bootstrap? And if that's all I need, then with all the ATRIX roms that say to use cwm, can I just use the bootstrap since I can't get cwm? Also what can I and can't I flash using the bootstrap?

I was wondering if we could get s-off on our radio since we have an unlocked bootloader? Maybe something similar to gfree for Inspire?
What do you mean by radio s-off?

something like unrevoked where you can flash unsigned patitions and have permanent root.
S-off is an HTC thing, an unlocked bootloader gives the same access.

Is it best to unlock the bootloader then root the phone or does it not really matter what order its done in.

depending on the method used to unlock you will have to root again...question is why do you want your bootloader unlocked?
I wanna flash custom roms and install kernels and always thought it was best to be fully rooted with an unlocked bootloader.

I did the one click root method after i unlocked bootloader
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
What exactly does this mean?
Now that we are able to unlock, and permaroot, can we put custom roms on it?
I guess what a noob like me is asking is:
What is the relationship between S-off/on and unlocked bootloaders?
Yea I tried that but it didn't work, did I do something wrong?

best way is to flash the amon ra image and that has a built in root function
Where is this great tool called one click root? Is it just a .zip I flash or what?
I used zergrush V3 and it worked perfectly. Search XDA and you'll find it.

he's playing you. he's kinda rude.
there's not a lot of development going on due to driver issues. i would say so at least. so it makes things much slower. most all roms are stable with a few bugs and all ics/jb are without drivers and a few of the devs are busy with their own lives at the moment. so it makes development a lot slower!
Oh.... that means we will never have a unlocked bootloader except motorola itself unlock it....

Haha only slightly! But I'm pleanty helpful when I can be Again, this is a question that pertains to the current bootloader delima, of which there is a wealth of information within 3 or 4 threads just on page one and two of general and QA..
2.3.4 bootloader was unlockable, because Motorola allowed us to download it and use it. It was not developed! And it's the only one unlockable bootloader, we have.

I am running a version of 2.35 that was not ota but shows a reservedODM value that is unlockable. Is there a way to use this to help unlock other devices?

you could try doing the fastboot work around? if it's anything like the electrify with the 2.3.5 shipped bootloader you can easily unlock. try it out.
http://www.motosunfire.com/2-3-5-bl/
Okay. Looks good. Is there a way to extract logs or other info that might help the devs find a workaround or method to unlock the BL on other devices? Should anything be installed to help with that?
