[INFO] DIY Bootloader unlock [For the People who are good with math and arm assembly] - Motorola Atrix HD

Main code:
Code:
Update:
I found a much easier way...
But first a bell device that is unlocked would need to do:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mbr.bin count=256
and upload the mbr.bin here...
I'll be updating it as the day goes on, and then after I get this completed, I will make an automatic tool.
Also,
DON'T GET SUPER EXCITED, YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR WORK LIKE I DID!!!
Now, you may start to donate by clicking the "Donate to me button".

Wait I need to know if this works first.

This is awesome and all but please don't ask for donations until we're actually unlocked. I plan on paying more than I pledged, but don't want to until I'm unlocked.
Again, this is awesome and I thank you for all your work

Why are you asking donations for something that hasnt been proved yet?

Yes but he hasn't posted the unlock as of yet. So I know I'm not going to pay for something that isn't even proven with a screen shot yet.

I think this is kind of a way of saying "get ready." Because he'll be posting it soon, not to be taken literally.

And I've heard of 12 year-olds in college....Just because he's 14 doesn't mean he's inexperienced or stupid. Maybe a little too excitable. :silly:
Hell, I lost my very first compiled rom because my finger slipped and hit enter -- meant to click rename, clicked delete by accident and enter slipped it away. $hit happens, that's life.

If you are PM'ing details I'd like in.

Not trying to "hate" but I have talked to some of the best unlock devs there are and they are having extreme trouble with getting the bootloader unlocked. Sue me if I'm skeptical that someone, who hasn't really done much of anything for the AHD (no offense), unlocked the bootloader.

If he's truly unlocked, then all he needs to do is snap a photo showing that.
He hasn't produced one yet, so we're all skeptical. Thread should probably be closed until OP can show some proof.

Come on OP, a picture would be nice...

Just because he's only 14 so we can't trust him. I've seen even younger can do something impossible. He might be just a little bit too excited. He is working on it.

Not trying to Hate, but if he really unlocked the bootloader, maybe he could post a simple photo of an Atrix HD with the unlocked logo boot screen (or something similar) or the Fastboot screen, but i dont know, just an opinion... not trying to troll or something, i'm think is almost unbelievable that someone has found a method to unlock one of the most difficult locked bootloaders on Motorola... like the every rumor or hoax, or news, we want pictures, pictures can say more than 1000 words...just my opinion, not trying to attack or something.
BTW, if the bootloader really gets unlocked, i get rid of my RAZR i in the fastest time possible and get an Atrix HD (I smell CyanogenMod 10.1 or 11 on the future )

What I really need is a just camera that is not on my phone for proof (too bad you can't virtually screenshot at the boot logo)
But I almost got it.

Ugh......do I cancel my Droid X Best Buy pre-order and wait for something else, being impatient all the time, or just go with it and forget about root/ROMs...
Decisions, decisions.
Uh you can still get root with a locked down bootloader.
Custom ROMs and recovery images may be a pipe dream, unless a serious vulnerability is discovered.

Right, but root still looks to be a long ways off, (he just estimated 4 months) though obviously nobody knows for sure.

DROID X, DROID 2 Won't Allow Custom ROMs
the bright side to this is, with it having the same type of encryption as the MileStone devs have had 7 months to figure out what does and doesn't work.
better this than some crazy even more complicated encryption.

GoodBye

im saying goodbye to the droid 3 community. It has always been friendly and has really gotten me into android. I am going to miss this community BUT i may be back just to give you GB lovers a nice little surprise ;] im not going to say what it is yet [no its not a ROM lol] but im sure youll love it. also not saying becuase there are no promises, this is sort of a summer project for me between college but if i get caught up in the nexus i may not complete it. But i hoping i dont get too caught up, you guys deserve the best. Thanks hashcode, jonpry, sparkyman and all others for their continued suppor tiwht our device. Ill have this device for the next (5days max) but after i will be onto the Galaxy Nexus.
For these next five days i will be working extensivley isntead of being my usual lazy self to provide you guys with your little mini surprise. If i get alot done, i will release an alpha of it, by alpha i mean even half of what it brings wont be done
I'm right there with you. The droid 3 community is stellar. I also frequent the Galaxy Tab 2 community as well as a few others and to be honest, everywhere else is just full of assholes. I will be buying some unlocked galaxy s2 phone on Amazon as my upgrade is not until August 2013 and I need a phone for <300, haven't decided which one yet though. I am currently weening myself off my keyboard, but it's tough haha.
Anyways, good luck with your future endeavors!

Goodby too..?
Gee, this is tougher that I expected. I made the mistake of reading the other posts. Boohoo. Sooo, My first "smartphone" was the Verizon XV6700 with Windows OS. I hated it so much. I went to an LG with the phycial keys and was happy. It had the little dinky screen. Good for txt which is why I got it. Then the D1 hit !! it was everything+ that I wanted the XV6700 to be. By this time I'm "on" nightlies. Then D2 nah, D X nah, nah, nah. D3 ! Yeah!! I thought it would be the second coming. HashCode and all the D3 dev made it so promising. I have 80 GB of memory on it. I am (was) prepared for the future! I didn't know it then, but it kinda all ended with HC's post of the true bleakness of this phone, the D3. I have hung on since reading that post. I am ready to move on. 3 days ago I opened another line so I could get the GNex. I missed the days when I had a 1250 kernel on my D1 and it would be zipping along so fast it would trip over itself..I missed putting roms on my phone developed by devs with a passion to get it right. So, I will check back and see if GB for the D3 is perfected, or, just check in to see hows it going.
In closing I'd like to say that Hard work works, “The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”

Buyer needs advice

Hi guys, I think there is quite an unbelievable offer for Austria Hutchinson users. Basically you get this phone for 69€ on a 20€ x 24 months contract. With the contract you get also 1000 minutes 1000 SMS and Internet unlimited so should be fine. Before I saw that I thought of sticking to my galaxy s for a while.
Now that said I would love to take it as long as the offer lasts, but I am concerned about 3 things:
a) i am a custom Rom user since 2 years. Never been on stock again. And I looooooove cyanogenmod! Do you think there will be custom roms for this?
b) the camera quality. While I'm not too much concerned about the video quality, I use my phone as a compact camera outside to take pictures. So how bad is it in your opinion? And do you think will it improve with upcoming updates?
c) you know something about the possibility of unlocking this phone?
I guess probably I'm asking too much but maybe someone knows better.
Thanks in advance!

It's only an okay camera, there's better, the Galaxy 3 has a better one for instance, not by that much, but clearly. No idea if this is a hardware limitation, but I'd guess so.

No idea ... but I guess with root you should be able to do more or less anything,e specially, once CWM etc are there? But I'm no pro.
We have root and CWM now, devs are working on CM10 and 4.0.4 Sense 4.1, so soon we'll have great ROMs :laugh:
And i think we'll have unlocked bootloader soon too.
Hey guys,
This phone looks really cool. I was thinking of buying this phone. I want a phone that can get rooted and a lot of ROMs. Do u think Im in the right place?
I have read a lot of reviews and from what I can gather is that this phone is a tad better than the One X and a loses the battle just barely vs the GS3.
What do you guys think? What are the pros and cons of this phone?
Also which is better looking? The white or black model?
Thanks in advance guys!

You shall like the white one. Also, your favorite food is grilled chicken, and you'll only drink root beer. Also, move to Mumbai, which is your favorite city from now on. Any other totally personal decisions you can't make I'm happy to answer, too.
Hey thanks dude!
I was asking because I've never owned anything but Motorola Androids and they have locked bootloaders. Ive never seen this phone in person and the reviews online only show the white one, so I asked here for this awesome community's opinion...
Also I like grilled chicken but prefer steak. Hate root beer, and if I lived anywhere it would be 'MERICA. Ill be sure to visit Mumbai sometime though maybe we can have a beer together.

Is LG policy still suck and unreliable? Since the older models like O2X said to not get ICS!
Yesterday I saw it in the market ,and it has the same price as HOX , I saw some comparison which end by no winner, yet the HOX really has a good support by both the company & xda community ,so from a fear comparison aspect ,which yr choice in case of : screen,camera quality and shutter speed ,video quality(some said its better in the OneX even with has low fps compared to O4X! ), and battery, thx ahead

This is not an answering machine...
Personally, I chose the LG because it has exchangable battery and micro SD slot. They both have Tegra 3 and good displays, so it's no big difference hardware-wise. HTC has a large fanbase, so you'll have more custom roms on the HOX, plus the possibility to unlock your bootloader with HTCdev. LG might learn and do something similar, but as they're not open in saying what they do, no one can tell.
I was checking on eBay yesterday cuz I want a LG O4X and saw there was a developer version kinda like the Razr has one too... can anyone confirm this?

I want to take another stab at unlocking the bootloader, I see the forums seem to be next to dead and i believe if we can successfuly unlock this thing it will breath a bit of new life into our device. anyone who is willing to help and has some information to share please post it here. ive got a few ideas on people to talk to.

Because we have a pretty good device, and development was great for a while but the bootloader has kept this device from being truly great for a long time. i think if we can crack it it would bring back some development. and not only that but if we can find a way to crack this maybe we can put our information forward to other motorola devices with the same issue. id love to have the kernel options, and variety of roms available ive had on past devices. the og evo was awesome for that one reason. and i honestly believe its possible....

An unlocked bootloader would make no difference. With kexec we can bypass and use a custom kernel anyways. However the custom kernel is still in development as motorola never released an ics/JB kernel

I think it would be great to crack the bootloader. However, has any phone with a locke bootloader been cracked without a leak from the manufacturer?
Moto must be using pretty large bit keys to lock the bootloader. You'll have to be lucky to crack it, not good.
I don't really see the actually bootloader lock changing in anyway. As said above kexec is a good system, just have to be patient.

I know that we have Kexec on D3, but I'm going to try an experiment on the Bootloader this weekend to see if I can unlock it. Reason being other devices do not have kexec and something crazy happened last night at work. In short, I cracked an AES encryption on a Motorola Radio(the ones Ambulances use). I know that may not sound like much, but I think I might have a way to do the same method on the Bootloaders for our Motorola Phones. I don't wanna go into too many details on it, but I'll try to get you guys a response next week sometime.
Please lol no trolling, I just like trying things. Chances are the method may not work.

I'm new to the G-Flex but not to Android or Linux.

Just wanna introduce myself. I'm Matt, and I just picked up my G-Flex yesterday at T-Mobile. This is my first LG but not my first android. I've been rooting, unlocking, modding, theming, bricking, and recovering androids since the DROID 2 days. I'm not claiming to be a dev, but I do know my way around android/ Linux. I am a crack flashing android whore. I was on the RAZR maxx when it came with Gingerbread 2.3.4 and stuck with it through JB 4.1. Moved on to the RAZR HD MAXX on ICS 4.0.4 and followed a couple of the best devs Hashcode and Dan Rosenberg. Was one of the first to profit from Dan's RAZR HD MAXX bootloader exploit. Big props to the first ever to crack a Motorola bootloader.
Shortly after I moved on to the Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337. I can't count the soft bricks I recovered from before Loki and Odin files where released. Bad thing was my phone being rooted was able to be my hot spot, so when bricked I had no way to look up or ask questions. But I some how through trial and error recovered.
I now have the G-Flex on T-Mobile and within a few hours of purchase I'm rooted thanks to the IoRoot method. Thanks to the cat that posted the thread on here for that one in this same General Forum section. And needless to say I've already bricked it twice tonight. Just recovered it and got booted back up and set up.
With all that said, I'm not afraid of testing or helping with any development. I'm not afraid of brick, cuz I'm sure with all the talented devs on xda and myself, I will recover.
Luckily I made a back up of my build-props, system, and recovery so I was able to restore and push thru adb. Also wiped cache, dalvik, and system via adb. And reboot back to stock out of the box. But still a little puzzled how I kept root. Not complaining just puzzled.
If there is anyone working on a TWRP or CWM and Loki please message me and let me know what I can do to help. Like I said I'm not a dev and not claiming to be at all. I'm just brave. And mainly don't know where to start with porting a recovery much less Loki. But I can test and I take instruction well.
Hope I can help excited with the potential of the G-Flex....

nice post man:good:
I think we are pretty close to a recovery here, as a few folks are working on it.
Just like any new phone, it takes awhile for it to "catch on"; especially when all the "reviewers" have been slamming this phone for various reasons.
That makes people slow down jumping on it, but this phone is really fantastic, EPIC battery, great display, fastest phone out right now, and, the more that people ignore the idiot reviewers, and grab this thing, the sooner the development will take off.
The "problem" is that it's so awesum stock out of the box, that there isnt a sense of urgency to mod it! :victory:

I have no issues stock with root, i already debloated it and its running like a champ. I have the inverted mms app and am loving my phone right now.

I'm loving it too. I'm rooted still and have installed XPOSED installer with "App Settings", "Xtheme engine beta 5"( with HUE theme) , and "Xblast" I've got the same inverted MMS. And I used APP Settings mod to changed the system UI, stock browser, and MMS ppi to 260. And used HUE theme for that AOSP blue feel. Used xblast for nav bar color change. I like the blue / Vanilla look. I guess that's cuz I'm a product of ICS and motoblur. I'm user android tweaker to speed things up a bit and to smooth out scrolling. And Android Tuner Pro to trim on boot and manage things a little. Snap dragon's Battery guru has always made a substantial difference in battery life, but its still in initial learning so I can't give a review on it for the G-Flex. But can't wait to get custom recovery for it and feel lot more comfortable diving into the modding/theming a good bit more.
I've noticed the stock launcher and settings, well really most the stock lg apps are very similar to Touchwiz. I've already tried out the Google Now launcher and "OK Google" does work from the home screen. You don't have to hit or exe any part of Google to be able to take advantage of the hot word command.

I I'm using an app called WIFI TETHER Beta 3.3. It seems to be working just fine. Doesn't ask or check account for subscription.

Nice post @Matt. You probably seen me over @droidrzr.com , I ran the site for the first two years. I picked up the Gflex for ATT a few days ago.
TBH i love this phone. Yeah,its not running the latest version of Android and it has a few quirks however, the reviews from all over the net are killing this device imo.
Tethering, have you tried the good ole SQL hack just to see?
Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk
fortunately, many of the smarter folks out there, that use XDA, dont pay alot of attention to what a bunch of DB reviewers think about phones..I had a one maxx b4 this, and it too was a great phone, slammed by most reviewers.
this phone is tons of fun, and we're pretty close to custom recovery,and a flood of roms.
Yes I have. The hack with SQL by going to settings storage/settings/ then change the authorization line (forgot exactly what it was called. I would know it if I saw it) from a 1 to a 0? Yeah I went looking for it. The way I understand it is they have figured out how to make that one obsolete. Seems as if its a little deeper into the their end of the monitoring rather than the phone just check account subscription. But I using the good ole "WIFI Tether beta 5" apk from a couple years ago and it seems to work. Hasn't added any more data to my WiFi tether usage. And yeah man I remember you. And droidrzr.com. those were the days when I was a crack flasher and barely knew my way around a RAZR. Don't know how many of those I bricked by not reading you couldn't install custom recovery except safe strap unless you had dev edition. Lmao. The RAZR forums always had cool devs willing to help and teach. I went to the GS4 and wow it was like a an ego fueled pissing contest between the biggest smart a$$e$ on the web. No one seemed to want to help just wanted to argue or try to point out that you don't know crap and they know it all. Glad to be out of their forums. And glad to see all these cats on the g flex forums have all been super cool and helpful.
They way it should be.

Yeah @Matt if your not a complete moron and ask the same question over and over again peeps around here are cool.
Yeah, the razrs where the good ole days lol. I went to the note family about 2 years ago and have a note 3 too. I like the Gflex . The pure fact that we have fastboot access is a good sign. I've been talking to hashcode and a few others to see what van be done.
Also, most of the Gpro xposed stuff work on the Gflex if anyone was wondering.
