Thanks!

Not sure. But don't know why you would want to. Can break root and block all root and boot loader unlock exploits.

We wait for the devs to check the updates for safety and then flash them. Have never taken an OTA in years. I like root and unlock. Don't want to be stuck stock.

I'm pretty sure you will lose root, so is that worth it to you? Or would you rather wait till all the devs are using the g7 base? Some are already on the G7 base right now.

Is that all that will happen? Or is there a possibility of bricking?
It could brick your phone if you've unlocked your bootloader. Otherwise you will lose root.
If you want to read all the discussion on the ota update do a search for it. There was umpteen threads about the same topic.

How do I know if I've unlocked my bootloader?
Last one, you have to use the search if you got more questions. Or wait for someone else to answer.

good question. My guess would be no. Hopefully since there is a root method for 4.1.2 someone will try and let us know...
it made sense to me that if would lock it again since its not a hardware based unlock and SBF sets it to factory. i know they can relock a bootloader with an OTA so why not a SBF?

because when they put the sbf together they werent trying to relock the bootloader. I really have no idea, just speculating.
IF ANYONE HAS A LINK TO THE MAXX HD SBF ID BE WILLING TO TRY IT...
we need someone wiser then us
i just would li ek to know i could go back to locked for testing purposes.

No, SBF will not relock the bootloader. The unlock method for all consumer HD's blows the QFuse, once it's blown it cannot be unblown.
Meaning your device cannot be re-locked. After I unlocked I SBF'd back to ICS, just to start fresh, before loading up CM 10.1. Hope this answers your question.
thanks for the answer. was hoping it would lock it back. ooh well.

for one youll always have a way to root your phone. Fastbooting twrp/cwm means you can flash su even if moto blocks existing exploits. That in itself is good enough for me.
Apparently, the guy who discovered the unlock also answered this: no, it can never be relocked. Unlocking blows a QFuse on the phone that can never be unblown given the physical nature of the fuse.
I'll tell you how, maybe a week or 3 from now, AT&T and Motorola will finish bloating up there update and use some excuse such as security to re lock the bootloader.

There is no way for moto or anyone to re-lock our bootloaders once they are unlocked. The only thing that can happen now is that Moto can make an update that can prevent us from unlocking/rooting if the new phone comes with this new firmware or we take the ota without being rooted and/or unlocked. No firmware patch/upgrade can re-lock once unlocked...
A few people on the atrix forums says otherwise. It makes me think, but Motorola would be wrong to do that now that they're owned by Google.

Please read some information before you post. I have unbranded UK Generic Xperia L and I can unlock bootloader.
Some people in Poland who are with Orange cannot but with other operators they can. Before you buy some phone make a research.

Why ? Because you can't have a stupid CWM on LB... You can install C'n'T on locked bootloader.
C'mon guys, sell your xl's and blame Sony for something he didn't do. Great idea.

You can't unlock the BL on that system version. That's the version that they locked up the bootloader with.
If downgrade 9.16 ,Can it be UNlocked

No. Once you update, the trusted zone gets locked. It won't open back up.
Hmm.....
It's looks only one way:
Wait Wanrranty End , Moto Official unlock.
OR someone hack Unlock code Like moto official code .Simulation Moto Official unlock, Just fun think

Moto official unlock only works on the Developer's Editions.

Actually, my device is not Developer's Edition and I could unlock its bootloader following Motorola's official unlock from de link below:
(I can't post the link because I have less than 10 posts, but if you google "What devices are supported by the Bootloader Unlock program?", Moto's official website should be on the first page)
In case you couldn't find it, PM me.
Hope it helps.

You would have been the first and only one that we've seen where this worked. If it was that easy, everyone would do it and have an unlocked bootloader. However, that is not the case.

BTW if I got a 925, does anyone know if vzw would activate it? Has anyone done it?
As was suggested to me, i rooted and unlocked bootloader with motochopper and motocopalyse without a hitch....took less than 2 minutes it took me way longer to decide to do it lol. flashed the recovery via adb and again without a hitch. used rootjunky's site as tutorial
