Petition for unlocked bootloader - Xoom General

We need your help to unlock all Motorola bootloaders.
Help us by signing the petition to achieve 7500 signatures.

Well, asking that in a Xoom forum is kinda pointless, since the Xoom's bootloader can be unlocked in under a minute using standard SDK tools (ADB & Fastboot).
Neverthless, Motorola has been kinda of a pain in the butt by making it really hard to unlock BL in other devices (like the Razr - XT910).

Instead of trying to change the mind of a corporation, find a corporation that already does what you want.

Agreed,
Pretty redundant to me to post something like this here when we all can unlock our bootloaders using the tools this great website given us.

There's a reason the Xoom is the only Moto device I own...
But is there a corporation that does this across the board? Aside from promises, of course.

Ask him if he has any uncapped HSUPA as well...
The Motorola Solutions division is the same way with their software for their two-way radios. They guard it like a hawk and are quick to sue like the RIAA.
On that note, we should send a similar letter indicating that we are the sole owners of the phones in our possession and that they need to return the unlocked bootloader and HSUPA that they stole from us.

That's actually an interesting stance. I wrote them on Twitter and I'm sure they won't reply to me.
Good thing I got RSD Lite 5.0 and the SBF before a lot of sites took them down due to copyright violations.
This would be bad news for devs trying to crack the bootloeader as im sure CCD letters would be issues out

Yup this would be the smart thing to do.
How big is the RSDLite file? I need it. Can someone direct me to where I can download it from pls??
I have finished downloading the SBF. Can someone PM me regarding obtaining a download of RSDLite? I need to download it, but unable to find it online anymore.
UPDATE: Nevermind someone point me to the download of RSDLite. It's still online, just needed to select a different file host site.

Don't be a tool Pixo. I know darned well who's keeping HSUPA from Atrix owners. I also know who it is that locked the bootloader which keeps devs from enabling HSUPA on both at&t AND Bell.
Look at the HTC Inspire...HSUPA was crippled by at&t but HTC didn't lock it down so it was easily enabled by those in the know. Same with the Samsung Captivate.
Since it's Motorola's policy to lock all bootloaders, I feel the blame falls mainly on them.

Motorola solution like SE

Sony Ericsson just launched a website to unlock the bootloader on there latest phones.
Didn't Motorola promise a bootloader solution. Do you think it will end up like this? When will this happen?
One word.... never.
Motorola has already shown their true colors on the matter.
They're siding with the carriers and blocking as much access to the phone as they can.

To be perfectly honest, I'll be surprised if these petitions amount to anything beyond making the people who signed them feel good about doing so. "Last purchase of Motorola phones if they don't unlock the bootloaders?" Let's be honest: the number of people who care about locked bootloaders is merely a fraction of their overall user base, which doesn't give a damn about rooting or unlocked bootloaders or custom ROMs. All of us combined could refuse to buy Motorola phones tomorrow, and it wouldn't affect their bottom line in the slightest. It's just not a threat to their business. Now, maybe these petitions will make some sort of difference, I don't know, but please don't labor under the illusion that we're any threat to their bottom line, because such a concept is laughable at best.

I find it humourous that people think that partitions can FORCE big corporations to do something. I doubt you can force a singly person to do anything. Love the "force" word.. maybe you can use some Jedi Mind tricks on the Motorola CEO?

Razr M

Ok.... Two questions about the new Razr M just announced:
1) Do you have to get the developer edition to use rooting, advanced features, etc.? Or will there be an XDA way?
2) Does VZW usually ship phones that are pre-ordered the day they are announced, or beforehand?
Someone will have the standard version rooted.
Developer Edition will allow full customization though which would be nice.

Can you elaborate on full customization? Do you mean without the developer edition, no custom roms?
Developer edition will have unlockable bootloader which would allow for more customization than what you could do with the standard edition. What we can do on our Razrs (standard) will probably be the same as what we'll be able to do on the Razr M. Dev edition would allow for more customization I think better kernel customizations, more custom roms, downgrading versions (which from what i understand is not possible now due to lack of unlockable bootloader)

So the current razr bootloader can't be unlocked? And no ROMs are available?
Interresting thread, I am looking to replace my HTC Desire S and this Razr M looks like the perfect upgrade.
All I need is official MIUI JB support
I guess this should be done by itself if the phone is easly unlockable.
The specs are just so nice, small design, big screen, no cheap plastic, dual core...
Moto Razer the new dev editions well be fully capable of every little thing from voodo and dual dualig with source and full unlock boot loader I mean look at samsungs phones the international ones way to big ..posted and regular development like crazy.. look at the moto every hates them so bad cause they lock down like fort Knox but now its shock and awe ... the xiaomi m2 is still better

Looking at the security on the Atrix HD and the HTC One X that is a rather bold claim that it will 100% be rooted. I would not say to expect root on any device from now on unless the bootloader is unlockable.
What is the point of Moto having a bootloader unlock tool if it only works on dev editions?

I think saying that it WILL be rooting is being highly optimistic. They should not buy a retail and expect root. Why bother developing a root exploit anyway, when people who want it could have gotten the Developer Edition instead

Because they are discriminating against the technical community and you can't get the developer edition on contract.

If you are on contract you can definitely buy one, however it is full retail price. It certainly could be rooted, but I think not to hold your breath.

Does dev edition being unlocked means that if I put a tele2 sicard in it it would work? (assuming tele2 and VZW use the same bands)

After 2400 + posts, I think you should be able to answer some of these questions on your own. But seeing that I am bored, I pre-ordered and received the phone by the 13th (the released date.)
Seeing that the phone has only been released for two days, I would not expect the normal edition to be hacked yet. There aren't even any custom ROM for the dev edition either.
"What WILL be available on the RAZR mod wise?" Blender, coffee maker, Pez dispenser, and transformation abilities into the iPhone pending Apple litigation.

[Im]patiently awaiting for recovery, ROMs, root, and debloat

Damn! I just can't use stock phones anymore!! The XDA Community moves so fast I thought that by now there would already be a ROM dump (it's been less than a day, I know). I suppose we need a recovery first. The hardware looks good. I know it has a slightly larger battery than the II, but if 3's actual battery life is anywhere near the II on custom ROMs, I'd be a very happy camper. Let the devs begin! :good:
I know me to. It bootloader let's locked again, maybe thinking about either getting a unlocked TMobile version or wait for Canadian unlocked.

There's a good chance the bootloader will be locked, in which case it might be a long time before you see any of those things you want

Dang not the warm and fuzzy I was hoping for. So my ATT is due to be delivered this am. Or I can spend $400.00 more and go buy a T-Mobile. Crap I was hoping for a Root already.
I am hoping for something like Loki for this phone. It is great hardware but has too much crapware installed. Root would be good just to be able to remove some of it.

The fact that carriers lock the bootloader is both futile and absurd. If they consider the big picture, keeping it unlocked would actually help sales. I realize that they have a business objective to protect and want to maintain their marketing strategy, but the the bootloader almost always gets broken in the end. If they consider that single fact--then they should come to this conclusion: Why put people through hoops to get the access if they will eventually get it anyway? It just pisses people off.
Locking the bootloader does nothing for those who have no interest in root, etc. It does bring bad will for those who want root and will eventually get it.
It's just silly. Give people what they want!!
