Is this newer than the stock rom? Where can I get it? Is it safe to flash? Will this help unlocking the bootloader?

HK = Hong Kong , a place in south China.
I'm a new user. I can't sure if the hardware is the same. I think developers in this forum may/may not need to know this

Is it TI OMPA4440?
According to the reviews in China & Moto China (sourcehttps://motorola-global-zn-ch.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/74104/p_country_code/CN) the processor is 4440 and the western reviews & Moto Dev claimed that is 4430
I really wonder which one is correct......

The hope that we can have, is with an international update for a phone that allows unlocked bootloaders. It took 4-6 months for the Atrix to get that. We will have to wait for more International versions of the Atrix 2 to be released so that we can find that "one" version with an unlocked bootloader, it is a one in a thousand kind of a chance, at this point.
We don't need an unlocked bootloader for great things on this phone, really the only thing we CAN'T do is overclock, but there might be ways around that too, I have a way, but it has softbricked 2 devices so far, so if we can get an sbf (which is the real key to all of our happiness), we will really be in business.
Even with an sbf or an fxz file, we can have ROMs, we just need a few ROM developers to want to work on this phone.

Sadly, I haven't found anything related to unlocking the bootloader in the boot image.
This is the fxz for the chinese ME865, one would be crazy to flash it to one's american MB865 (though I would be interested in the results )
Shouldn't it still work even though it is the Chinese FXZ. Although you might need a translator to work your phone right LoL

Yeah I was just joking around about the language LoL. But with all said and done right now we would flash using RSD lite correct. Could this be made into a flashable zip that we could use with our bootstrap?

It's not a big deal for me to read Chinese....lol
After all, It's my native language.....
But under the setting part should have language selection...
Thinking about flash it on my, Cuz AT&T version doesnt have Chinese display. That made some of my apps can't work right
Anybody flash it yet? I'm restraining myself from doing it, because I feel there's a chance it may have the unlock for the bootloader, If memory serves me correctly, it was from a leaked China based firmware for the ATRIX, that revealed the unlock for the OG ATRIX. I maybe mixing it up with the Photon, but who knows.

With the original Atrix there were some issues with international builds not commpatible with USA builds, and there were some bricks along the way. There were even bricks with trying to roll back firmware after the gingerbread update. Patience for me, I am not ready to brick mine.
You can flash just the boot loader if interested... I would but I am working on another bootloader hack to break the current bootloader open, or I would flash just the bootloader, that is one thing that can be tried.... Who still has time on their 30 day return left, that wants to try this:
using the android SDK run the following using the boot.img from this Chinese image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then boot into the boot loader with holing the volume down buttom while powering the phone on
Then
fastboot oem unlock ( this should give you output that gives your id )
fastboot oem unlock #### ( the ####'s are the uid you recieved from the command above ).
Then reboot the phone. You may have to erase your userdata with:
fastboot erase userdata
Hopefully you won't have to do this...
This might be worth a try.

Could this be ics? Bootloaders unlocked?
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk
Do you have a link that you can share?
No. The Chinese update to fix the -75dB issue is 2.3.6.
Also it breaks the root method but supposedly it's possible to keep root with an app "OTA Rootkeeper".
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the Chinese bootloader is unlocked.
(poking around here with machine translations can be... unclear )
Saw a story on there that Motorola engineers were actually dispatched to the poster's house to test the fixed baseband with the customer.
I wish we could get that kind of service in the USA.

I tore this apart, and this has the same bootloader as our MB865 with a couple minor differences due to what looks like a slight hardware difference on the ME865.

Cleaning up development section. Since you aren't releasing a method or how to improve moving to General

did it and my phone went crazy but then did it back to 608 then did factory restore and it fine now so if you do the first 2 and dont do 629 do a factory restore you have 608 i will try to ota after root let you know

[Q] Do I have the right version of the Play store?

Hello,
I am beginning to wonder if I have the right version of the Play store on my Xoom.
I am thinking I have an older version/mobile version because the font is very large, in fact, it's an eyesore.
Here is a photo of the Play store once I open it:
http://i.imgur.com/UFRXs.jpg
And here is when I search for an app:
http://i.imgur.com/3pMBc.jpg
Looking at that photo, it doesn't look too big, but when you hold the tablet in front of you, it looks massive!
http://i.imgur.com/MwoK9.jpg
This is still quite large, but much better looking.
Also, another question, shouldn't the beta Chrome browser not be there? I don't see it.
I did a factory reset a few days ago, and when I opened play (if I recall correctly) it said it was updating to a new version, but said there was an error.
(I have not rooted my Xoom (yet ) so I cannot take screenshots)
So, is this the right version, and if not, how can I update?
Thanks! :good:

Crazy Theory / Idea [VERIZON]

When someone can get ahold of a sprint galaxy s3 odin (or the verizion developer edition odin though i'm pretty sure sprints will leak earlier)since the two phones are the same, can't some flash (Sprint) odin on the verizon unit, root it, unlock bootloader, then add verizon libs, rils, etc files (And eventually make it into a flash able zip) to make it actually work on the carrier. Is this just a crazy idea.
I hope this makes sense xD

If you could do that why wouldn't you wait for the unlocked Verizon version from samsung and save your self all the work of getting rid of sprint stuff and adding in the Verizon stuff.

This is already being discussed. IIRC flashing the sprint software bricked the phone. Only time will tell but I'm guessing the VZW dev software will have the same effect.

They may have changed the partition tables, thus flashing the sprint Odin could irreparably damage the phone. Esesially if the efs partitions were different.

By flashing 2.3.5 firmware on top of 4.0.4, you have most likely hard bricked your device and it will be near impossible to fix. Moto made certain that there is no downgrading..

Yes it is from sourceforge, but there is an mb865 version out there too. The mb version is labeled incorrectly. It is the SEARET mb865 version of the kernel. All that needs to be paid attention to is the WiFi, video, and GPS kernel modules &/ drivers.
Now, it is not ATT based, but that should not be an issue.
