I have motorola atrix 4g (Android Version 2.3.6, Baseband Version - M_01.77.37P, Build Version - 4.5.141).
The phone is still ATT locked and unrooted. It still has manufacture warranty.
If I sim-unlock my phone, am I voiding manufacture warranty?
Do I need to root the phone for sim-unlock?

You can easily buy an unlock code off some website (I brought mine from a dealer in eBay)
You never void your warranty by network unlock.
Good luck !

If you don't want a hefty bill for your replacement device because of voided warranty then yes, you should flash an officially released rom from your carrier.
title says pretty much everything..
1. if im unlocking using the Pudding method.. will it really void the warranty on the device? anyone tried using warranty after unlocking? hardbricks guys.. whats your experience?
2. does the new 4.5.91 update from at&t comes with an unlock option in the bootloader menu?
thanks.
2. No the update does not. They removed the unlocked option.
As for 1, there is a warning that you may void your guarantee..

Key word being "May". They would have to prove that your modification damaged the device and not a faulty component. Such as when you buy a car and decide to put an aftermarket oil filter/air filter on it and then your horn quits working. They would still have to warranty your horn as the filters had nothing to do with the faulty horn.
So, if we have completed official 4.5.91 ota, what do we use to free up our atrix
What are the steps to unlock bootloader after one completes the new ota update 4.5.91 ?
And how to root after this latest update? Lots of messages about bricking so I would like to be sure of the correct method to use?

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there is a way to get the latest gingerbread version by easily editing build.prop. I'm on Uk orange.
I remember doing this on my xperia x10 and I managed to change Uk version to Nordic version.
Unlocked handset from Orange
just using my old dead thread to ask a different question.
Will i get the gingerbread update if i unlock my handset originally bought from orange or will it still depends on when orange releases the update. I mean normal unlock by paying £5 and entering the unlock code on the phone and not the bootloader unlock

If you do a SIM unlock, you are still going to be waiting for the update from Orange whenever they release it because it's still their FW...

Is there a way to debrand by modifying build.prop file?

No. You need to root your phonem unlock your bootloader, flash new firmware. I'm on Ornage UK and you lose most of your RAM when unlocking the bootloader before you flash new firmware.

Thanks. One more question will I lose warranty, if the bootloader is unlocked?

Yes you should consider it voided once you unlock bl.
I have seen a cutom rom by "AKA" in android development thread and i am very tempted to try it out on my mobile but the only thing that is setting me back is the warranty issue.
If i will root/unlock my htc desire v, will htc never entertain any hardware or software related warranty?
Regards
Any one guys?

Yes, it will void your warranty, but in case you need the warranty back, you can unroot and return to stock ROM.
This is true answer unroot - relock bootloader to locked & service guy never no you ever rooted & warranty is back

[how to]reset your lock status flag
From HTC One S
When in service menu it says
Root Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
does this mean i cant ever unlock my Bootloader?
mean is it possible to still attempt with the unlock process and see if it will indeed hopefully unlock or am i out of luck?
i want to be able to install CWM Recovery so i can install a custom Rom...mostly a Stock ASOP Stock Android or GPE
at the moment i am on
Build Number: 14.2.A.0.290
Model Number: C6833
and i am not currently Rooted as it doesn't seem quite possible to Root Android 4.3 successfully
My device when i first received it was a branded o2 Carrier handset but days after receiving it the Network unlocked the handset for me as in Unlocked the handset to a Unbranded version so it will work on any Network...i dunno if this means anything to me getting the bootloader Unlocked
Sorry to say, but at the moment there is no way to unlock your BL
The best you can do is:
Downgrade to .532 (read my guide in the general section or you will lose cell reception/imei)
Root (follow LordManhatton's guide in general section)
Upgrade to a stock based rom (follow Jackie's rom thread or my instructions at #34 in that thread if not using his rom) - choices include:
DoggRom
[NUT]'s rom
Jackie099's Stock rom
monx®'s rom
StarFighter's rom
i searched for these but non of them seem to be stock android i like my stock lol cyanmod/gpe style

You will either have to live with it, or you'll have to sell it and buy a regular unlockable one. Not what you want to hear, but these things happen when carriers have a certain body part up their asses.

Dunno, but it's worth a try. I'm on O2 and mine has an unlocked bootloader. I would contact them and complain that it's locked and you want an unlocked version. I've done that in the past and since then I've always had unlocked versions.

Mine too. I just complained saying it wasn't stated anywhere that it was a locked bootloader and so they'd missold me the product. Works every time.
