Vote in the poll here for "Security and Permissions" and even comment about the locked bootloaders if you want. Do not be unprofessional, this is meant for developers.

Sign up for their online MOTODEV Office Hours on Febuary 15th, you can write in a question to ask, I'd suggest asking about the Razr "Developer Edition" and why we must purchase a second device unlock the bootloader when it can be done with a simple software upgrade instead. We were promised them in late 2011 and have heard nothing.

Burning Moto means no software bootloader unlock, or hardware. Bad idea. Also illegal and immortal
Waste of time. If they cared about their customers, they'd have unlocked awhile ago. They don't and they won't. RAZR is my last MOTO phone....I'm sooooo done with them....they blew it bad.

Thank you for your support. The only waste of time here is you trying to stop the growing #OPMOSH movement with negativity. The only way this movement will make a difference is if people actually try and get this done. Whining about this being your last Motorola phone has gotten 0 replies from Motorola.
Bootloader's locked...I see your plan is working wonderfully,too..... Look, the only thing this company is gonna understand is lack of income and THAT means quit buying their phones. When their bottom line is affected, then they'll get the message loud and clear. Until then, they're just arrogant, deaf and think their sh++ don't stink....make em think otherwise.
I'm seriously tired of people saying that in every opmosh-related anything. Have you seen their Q4 sales to begin with? They're already basically broke. Their stock is 1/25th of Samsung's. They just don't care. Google is about to scoop them up. It'd be useless to just contribute to their temporary failure. Literally useless. Let's do something productive.

Sorry if this is COMPLETELY newb, got my flame suit on just in case...
But it would be great if we could have one of those people who got the 3D early to let the devs here borrow the phone to work with the bootloader.
If the certain individual needs to be financially motivated, slap a donate button on either his username or another well respected member's name so the community can send gifts of thanks his way.
How great would it be to have it up and running starting june 24th...?
I got your donation right here!

The phone is coming out in a week dude.
After it gets permarooted, I have no obligations to throw in $10-20
Sent from my Samsuck Vibrant
wow. guess i really needed that suit. with this kinda attitude, i am incredibly grateful that the devs overlook these types of comments and still provide their work to us for use for free.
if the same sentiment is shared by the community, we can just let this thread die.
Donating $10 or $20 is one thing vs. donating a $500 to $600 phone. Even a small donation is appropriate if you find a DEVs efforts worthwhile, show your support!
If I use a dev's work because he makes my phone better, I have no issues donating to them.. but I'm not handing cash over to someone so they can get a phone in hopes that they do something great... specially before I have my own.

Trust me, I'm sure one of the devs will have something great for us before we're completely done playing with our phones. The phone will be released in less than a week. We can be patient.

agreed.. plus we have several devs that have already said that they are getting it.. some that have reached legendary status around here, so its not like we are going to have a shortage.. you like what they do once they do it, or you have a dev you know is coming, then donate..

I can't believe this is how the forums managers actually feel about our bootloader being unlocked. They are ignoring/deleting posts on Facebook if you ever mention "bootloader" and reply to posts that praise them...or if its about MOTOACTV.
My post was deleted, and others are trying to get it reposted every time its missing again.
My post:
Copy Pastable:
Code:
Motorola: Ignoring the bootloader problem isn't going to make it go away. I love my Droid RAZR but you are making it very hard for developers to make great software for your devices. It is NOT an industry standard to lock them down (HTC, Samsung, ASUS,etc.) and you should stop telling your consumers it is. I bought my Droid RAZR believing your statement that you would unlock the bootloaders by the end of 2011 if carriers allowed it. HTC unlocked all of theirs by the end of 2011, Verizon included. Not to mention you made the International version Motorola RAZR locked as well... All your customers want it some light on the situation, not our questions deleted.
It's not hard to tell that you are deleting posts and comments when someone mentions "bootloader", but they won't stop coming into you make a statement. And not just a statement like http://moto.ly/icsboot
Please listen and not just delete this post. Reply! Totally open to conversation and debate.
With them deleting post...we need to re-double our efforts.
That's definitely a fake account, they copy pasted the same thing a million times and can't even spell whining.

This phone is amazing without unlocked bootloaders, it's still rootable, and for those of us who are no longer flashaholics and kept their phone stock, it does EVERYTHING a rooted phone can do (with a little searching in the market). IMO, you're fighting a losing battle (for now, until we get ICS).

That's wierd, I don't know who would have motivation to be impersonating them. However, if an official Twitter account told you the Facebook account was fake, you should probably edit your first post to mention that very clearly. We want to be as understanding and professional with those at Moto who do speak and listen to us, just making sure we're not hurting those people's reputation, thanks!

Couldn't you have said the person on Craigslist must have done something to it since you bricked it so soon after receiving it? That's what I would have said.
corypeterson said:
2 days ago I traded my HTC Vivid for a Galaxy Note with a dude on Craigslist (dumb move on his part) & within less than 24 hours of having it, I managed to hard brick it by flashing an incompatible kernel. Completely my fault.
LUCKILY, I took the phone into an AT&T store and played the dumb card. After about 45 minutes of going back & forth with the store manager and a warranty agent on the phone, they decided to send me a brand new replacement at no charge. Should be here Monday.
I feel like I really lucked out seeing as to how I traded with someone on Craigslist.. I really thought I was screwed!

Don't understand. Are you bragging about making a totally avoidable mistake or how you lied to AT&T reps? Either way I don't see too much to shout about.

If people are flashing things they should at least be responsible for messing up.
And this also could be a good reason why apple is closed source

I am.
Don't get me wrong, I've had a good experience on Android and am going to miss a couple of things (customization, Transdroid, Swiftkey).
Anyone else jumping ship to the iPhone 5?
Try to not make this a hate thread. I am generally curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship or if you're staying with Android and a newer phone.
Its hard not to hate but to each their own. After discovering Android, there is no substitute or replacement.
I've seen similar threads started in other areas of XDA and the OP gets taken to the cleaners. You won't have to worry about that here. That is, as long as upteen different threads don't start up lol
The choice is obvious
I shiver at the thought. Out of curiosity, Why do you want to switch?

Not to mention, every time an android user switches to an iPhone, God kills a kitten.
Please reconsider, for the kittens.
Sorry for the double post, but I had to add this in and couldn't do it from an edit despite my best efforts.

why do you wanna make the switch? honestly if the dx2 is your first android phone, try a cheaper replacement (ie fascinate, dx, og droid) those phones arent anywhere as difficult as the x2. plus the og droid & fascinate have unlocked bootloaders and both are running jellybean so why leave the openness and fully user customization of android to the locked down, 'we know whats best for you' apple attitude?
I'm making a switch when the iPhone 5 comes out. My buddy is foolish and is selling me his g nexus for 100 so he can get an iPhone 5.

No amount of signatures will get that to happen. Samsung doesnt care about awhat just 1000 of its users want when there are 10 million who dont care
Even if we got the 1000 signatures that would be .01% of sales (so far)... not even a ripple in the pond...
I know it seems like a big deal to us because we're all here on the forum all the time and the buzz around here is all about hacking and jacking our phones till the early hours of the morning... but... to the vast majority of consumers... non of this means jack squat.
Try joining the galaxy note 3 community on Google +... Over 4200 members... posts flying through there at warp speed... and nobody knows what the he'll I'm talking about when I post screen shots of Safestrap or Hyperdrive or Wanam exposed mods... people still flip out and think they are legally in jeopardy if they root... This phone is causing a mass migration of iPhoners and it's a good and bad thing i suppose... samsung is leaning more towards closed platform where possible to make things dummy proof...(i can't even begin to describe how much that gets on my nerves... iPhone was supposed to be the smartphone... android was the phone for smart people)... but at the same time, with sales the way they are we will see a lot more aftermarket products and accessories... just roll with the punches i guess... it is what it is.

I haven't signed it. I haven't written my request for an unlocked bootloader in a note to Santa Claus either. Equally futile wastes of time. Then again, I just went ahead and bought the one with an unlocked bootloader (Dev Edition), so I guess I'm not willing to settle for the status quo.
