The bootloader is not unlockable!??!?!
there are instructions for all the roms in their posts.
It's not as unlock, because I do not say anything when I use the automatic method, you could tell me how to do it again, I have downloaded the APK Cheesecake.

Sorry, I don't really understand this. Are you trying to check cheesecake? If so that is not a bootloader unlock. It just checks motorola development servers to hopefully find an update that has an unlocked bootloader or ICS. He have basically given up on finding a booltoader unlock with it, but we are still trying to pull ICS.
Do not use my auto cheesecake, as stated in the post it does not really work yet. Use the original cheesecake app and hit the first button once. Then choose the first server with the second. check for an update. if it finds one, download it right away, BUT DO NOT INSTALL IT. upload it somewhere and share it here so we can see what it has. If it says up to date, the server was up, but there was no update. if it gives a wifi error, the server was down, which is normal.
Oh I understand, good to me and came out a version downloaded and installed, so I guess it may not do anything now: (

I have another question to install a modified Rom necessarily need to unlock the bootloader as the Atrix 4G?

No. It is not possible to unlock our bootloader. you can still install any of our custom roms.

New official version stock English rom for UK v2.51.1 released.
DOWNLOAD: Defy Rom v2.51.1
thanks, but where can we find the changelog of this new rom ?
Great! Will give it a try.
might try this tomorrow, although I can't see it being anything major, at the end of the day its not been push OTA as an update yet. I just tried the supposedly "no blur" firmware too and there was still loads of blur on it!
it is unrootable for the moiment.
Are z4root (or other rooting methods) and tenfar's recovery working with this ROM? 'Cause someone in another topic said, that he flashed this ROM, and now he can't flash back anything older than this. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10023019&postcount=7)
And stuck with this ROM, without root and recovery, would be a huge pain in the *ss.
Edit: I think I got my answer from bihariel's post.

i don´t know, but i have the "deblured" 2.34.1 firm rooted with z4root and with the clockwork recovery working
Thanks, have installed and its a nice improvement.
Not a giant leep but more of a polish. I must be one of the few people that likes the email client in motoblur.
i aint going anywhere near this it its not rootable then - there nothing wrong with 2.21 imo. And I like the blur email app too lol
If this rom isn't rootable, doesn't that mean that the guys at motorola "fixed" the exploit, that we used, to get root access (and because of that, we need to find another exploit)?
the problem is that you can not flash any older than this and without root you can not flash custom recovery and can not restore nand backup.
if you flash older the phone wont boot.
Yep now unable get root access. Oh well
im stuck on this UK rom too! im not giving up so easy though... just need root and we are good.

see what they did is baited you in with "noblur" and now your stuck without root!
I've been looking around for a while and can't find much about unlocking the bootloader on the most recent Jelly Bean software. Is there anyway to do it?
Download the unlock tool from the Asus website ......

download apk from here (This is the same tool as download from Asus) https://www.dropbox.com/s/8oj250figntedsb/UnLock_Device_App_V7.apk
That unlocker apk will work. I used it on a jellybeaned tf700 without issues. Just accept all the warnings. Fear not.

Curious
Logan_M im curious to know if the tool worked for you. I have tried for the past month, daily to use the tool to unlock bootloader and it will not. I receive an error stating "An unknown error occurs, which may be a network issue.Please wait and try again later." I tried for 3 weeks on latest Jellybean update, then i decided to downgrade to ICS .30, and i still have same error. Tried on ICS for past week, on different Wifi connections. No luck. I contacted Support and they provided me the same tool V7, still error. They then asked for my MAC Address and i havent heard back from them yet. Hope i can get this unlocked soon, i have been wanting to try some custom ROMS.
Heres the issue. I am no noob at this whatsoever and have tried EVERYTHING. I have used every program I could find to attempt root and none can seem to gain root access. The install SuperUser or SuperSU and every time root fails even if said app is installed. Please help Im doing a talk on August 20th that I NEED this device for. All help appreciated. Thanks!
Im slightly confused as your sig says rooted stock
But anyway I recently got myself a Razr HD and I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241788 to root and unlock bootloader
My device was 4.1.2 and I did not want to downgrade but this one worked :victory:
More info needed. Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, which firmware are you on?

Thank you, I think I may have worked out my issue! I was using 1.2 of that program. I think thats why. Let me give this a go
Tried again with this guy and still got failure. I always get this:
[*]This May Take A Few Minutes
[-]Failure
Ok well what do you know. 3rd times the charm eh? I tried a third time this time after reflashing stock firmware, antennas, etc... Thanks!

Thanks haha xD Coming from a Galaxy Nexus GSM Dev Edition, this is oddly restraining. There seem to be only a few ROMs available for this device.
Quality is better than quantity
I've received this update... Now I'm rooted already. I don't know what to do... Should I update it or leave it as it is since I'm using xposed as well.
Will I have to root the phone again?
I've got twrp already installed.
Any instructions?
You can't even take the update if you're root it will just fail to install
wow, this is a pretty big update.
I am on build QB3, anyone else have this? Ive not seen much on it
I don't understand what it's for. I tried to download it but it says I'm out of space even though I have space to install

I didn't download it from anywhere, when I got the phone, it was on lollipop, checked updates and there was one, after the update I came on 6.0.1
After a few weeks, I rooted it. Now I've this update
And yes I rooted the phone myself, after using odin to flash twrp

Ok since you rooted yourself it's going to show the update. Roms like https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...g900p-pk1-stock-deodexed-marshmallow-t3521415 the developer disable the update notice for that. Think there's a rule you can flash through twrp to disable that too but idk where it is. A it's somewhere I this forum but it's been a while since I could remember where

But how can I take the update? What's it about? Is there any new feature that we're probably missing?
No you can't take the update unless you unroot. All the new updates for this phone are all security updates and that's it. There's no new features of your on 6.0.1. Anything past pca roms were just security updates. Sprint has been releasing new updates every month for this device but it's all security updates.
I managed to capture an OTA update for the T-Mobile Revvl. It contains the boot image, preloader, and a bunch of other system stuff. If we can mod this for root or custom recoveries, that would be great.

The OTA contains the special key needed for SP flash tools to work, and even when trying that it fails.

You must have missed the memo, Dirt Cow was patched out in 7.0.1. This phone released with 7.0.1. Meaning Dirty Cow will NEVER work

Dirtycow uses kernel so you need to check what security
version kernel you have it doesn't go by Android version. Or try Rowhammer.

Tried Dirtycow anyway, the stock Revvl is not vilnerable.
Why don't you spit out all of the root exploit tools you know of and quit wasting my time?
I am willing to jump on the bandwagon and help developers to gain root access for this phone and the plus version. Fairly tech savvy with adb and fairly comfortable to be able to redirect if something went wrong let me know what's needed!!!
Would love to see this happen! Have one if you need someone to beta test
