Unlocked Bootloader

This is a step in the right direction, yes???
http://www.androidcentral.com/has-motorolas-bootloader-encryption-been-cracked
(From what I have read though, it does not directly apply to the Atirx - but maybe it will make things easier for the devs??? Let's hope so!!!)

Yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssss! Bonerrrr!!!!

Yes it does:
Atrix too now probably!!
Check it out! Proof!!!

Atrix4G Rooted!

At last! Recoveries with full nandroid coming?

If someone can make this whole process work with the Atrix I foresee the Atrix becoming even bigger!

We will see, Seems motorola is a little mad

Ya well moto might be a little mad but we are alot more mad at them for locking it down in the first place! Hope this means I will keep the Atrix. If not then bye bye moto. 7 days left of my 30.

It's not a question of if it's fake or real, it's a matter of whether it will work or not. It was confirmed to work on a Sholes device but the devs are trying to see if it will work on the Droids and maybe the Atrix. Quit being such a party pooper. There's a thin line between being realistic and just being pessimistic.

Well I for one am waiting with bated breath. I hope that devs are trying these keys on the Atrix as we speak. (I'm sure they are, I mean HELLO!) We are all hoping for a new thread titled " Atrix Bootloader Unlocked!!!111" Here's to dim hope. Unleash this BEAST!!!

In accordance with the prophecy.

I was taking a look on the IRC ##pbf (freenode) channel of the developer who cracked the bootloader just to see/ask if the Atrix would be supported, this is what i got:
[02:19] <Guest75486> what differs sholes' phones from atrix mobile phone? i did not get why the atrix may not be unlocked by these keys
[02:19] <brttwrd> its newer
[02:20] <Guest75486> ok it is newer but is known to differ the way bootloader is encrypted?
[02:21] <brttwrd> no seriously atrix is newer, they possibly used a newer version of the previous locking system
So, let's hope Motorola did not change the way of encrypting bootloader. Finger crossed.
Saludos a los Argentinos!

Well we shall see how this unfolds, shant we? Keep us updated we are all biting our nails!

Well, any new news?

News is it doesn't work.

loool, too happy too soon

I wouldn't worry too much. I'm sure Samsung is tired of being shown up by a bunch of dev's on a forum who don't get paid for what they do. I'm not worried though because even if they go to a locked bootloader, give it a week or two and someone will find a way to unlock it or just get around it. I have full confidence in the dev's here...

This is a leak for the International version of the Galaxy S....this might not mean anything for us just yet...

At least it's a start. Given that the International versions got their Froyo in November (?), maybe we'll get ours in roughly 3 months after that due to conversions to CDMA and all the other stuff our unique Epics have.

With Moto already locking bootloaders and HTC fiddling with the idea, I think a lot of people in the scene are a bit concerned.
I can totally see the entire hobby marginalizing itself to Nexus devices some day. It's not like any major vendor is going to step up just to appeal to a tiny community of hackers any more than carriers are stepping up to make their networks strong enough for that 2% of customers sucking up bandwidth. :/

How can they legally lock the bootloaders? Wasn't it ruled that once we purchase these devices, they're OURS and we can hack/root/jailbreak them all we want?

Yes but they can develop it as they see fit and put any protections they want in. What was decided was its legal to break their protections.

You can hack it all you want and void your warranty, but they are not required to ALLOW you the ability to do it. They just can't do anything about it other than void your warranty.

yea its nexus or lg for me, source code on day 1 of sales, unlocked everything... and almost aosp system.. oh and their android phones are pretty frikken nice

It might help a bit with the camera and GPS though.
I think the Nexus S 4G source code is what is going to be the most likely to help us.

No offense to the devs,but does it really make a huge deal if its gsm/cdma? I know the difference between the 2 networks.I've had the epic since nov. Or dec. ,and coming from the htc hero the devs in that forum kicked ass(no offense to the ones here).but I noticed they'd make roms for the htc hero(cdma) from gsm roms.I belive they even got gingerbread fully working for that phone,haven't checked.sorry if it sounds like I'm pissed or something,not pointing fingers.really appreciate the work y'all done for this phone,for real.

Wifi direct in ICS

My understanding was that wifi direct was supported by ICS. However, having updated my transformer there is no sign of it. I was hoping to use it for communicating with my Galaxy s2. Anyone know what happened to it?
note this isn't a moan as such, as overall I'm very happy with the update, its just a function I was expecting and hoping to make use of is missing and I wondered if anyone knew why?

Yea you need a device that supports it and the Galaxy Nexus was the first certified device.

The galaxy s2 supports wifi direct out of the box and that is older than the nexus.
Having said that I didn't realise there was a hardware side to it.

Did the xperia support wifi direct under gingerbread though? This would support the view that there is a hardware requirement.

[Bounty] Adamoutler Unlock bootloader

Sorry for Confusion. Bounty Fully met. Thanks anonymous donator.
#update1 Adam pulled files from me yesterday he said he wanted to try something. Also he has ordered his device.
#update2 Adam's work can be followed on this page.

So, the man is not only being offered $1400 for his skills if he can pull this off, but also being handed the device to do it? Sounds like win/win. Count me in when I get home. Chipin is failing on my phone.

If i get any money from this, I'll put it to good use. XDA could use some funding for T-Shirts and other promotial items to give away at the Big Android BBQ and I'm sure there are other good causes. I'm speaking at the Big Android BBQ so that's the first thing that comes to mind. Regardless, you can expect it go go to a good cause.
