It comes with an unlocked bootloader? Have you checked AP Fastboot?
And you are sure you didn't have to go through a process asking if you wanted to void your warranty? It seems strange to ship with a voided phone
ICS, I see? Are the specs superior to the current Photon?

Nothing worked on the phone besides the launcher. The slide up notifications per icon was badass. But it had no network service or WiFi. Not even a play store. Had a bunch of apps but they were dummy icons. He said it was for development purposes and show. It was extremely smooth though. I asked about the boot loader and he said yes to being unlocked. He was quick to answer and said that it is the first Motorola device to ever ship with an unlockable boot loader. He said it would be kinda similar to the gnexs. There will be an easy to access option out of the box to unlock the boot loader.

He also gave me a statistics speech about why they have ignored bootloader unlock claims in the past but I don't remember. I was playing with the phone lol. But I'll ask again when he comes around next month. Had something to do with percentage and how we the people asking for the unlocked boot loader are only a 1%

If you can get information on the bootloader unlock process that'd be awesome. The Atrix HD has an option but doesn't say a code. If the Photon Q shows the code for you when you run 'fastboot oem unlock' then I think it would mean hard work to get the Atrix HD unlocked.
Price??
Is there any mention of the price for photon Q?

Thanks for sharing this - still surprised that the phone is marketed with business users, as subjectively put... in mind - being that the battery is fixed, what options have you heard for individuals needing more power for voice calls on the go?
I loved the previous one which I still use - mainly for it's swappable batteries for continuous voice calls - not everyone has the chance to be by a power source to charge (e.g. wall / car). There are external power packs as I mentioned in another post; (either by solar or pre-charged that plug into the microusb).

They can market it as a business phone but I love the new features and I know most other consumers would. Of course smartactions and the new swipe feature for notifications on icons. He said the RAZR already has smart actions. Why hasn't anyone ported that feature yet?!

oh damn! i didnt even think of looking. he was in the store for about half an hour talking to us about it. i spent most my time testing out the keyboard and messing around with the new UI. which btw on the 19th, 20th at the latest i hope to see this new launcher ported to other devices! trust me, everyone will love it! they took features from jellybean and pimped them up for ics on the q
our store should get them by this friday. if so then ill get the model number for you then. and whatever else you need. and sense the bootloader is unlocked it should be fairly easy for me to extract an image from it to post here before the 19th
actually.. we would probably get the demo phone before the actual phones.. which should be in the next few days. demo phones are no different than the real thing. they come to us with a demo video app preinstalled. we have factory reset our demo phones before and used them as a store phone. could someone point me in the right direction of getting an image from this phone? **safely**. dont want to **** the phone up and get fired lol
ive never tried with dump_image but i would imagine that might work. ideally we could root it and grab the images that we need then unroot it easily enough. once it launches and the tool comes out i could put out the CWM and have people unlock to root

Ive seen today that the atrix has root, I also seen that the post was made by alot of you cappy owners hero designgears. Just wondering how many are leaving? I will be sticking by htc's side. I hated my captivate for the couple weeks I had it when it was launched, such a cheap device, and was to easy for some processes and involved no work. The Inspire is where its at in my mind for now, dual core or not this ***** flys and does work for me.
Nope HTC > than Motorola as far as dev community is concerned. I'm happy with my purchase and could have pre-ordered the Atrix for the same money I was looking at for this phone.
Sticking with HTC. I believe the grass is greener here. ;-)

It has root, but they still don't know if the boot loader is locked. If it is, there will be no way to install custom roms. as far as I know nobody has cracked their bootloader encryption.
As far as fastboot not working, did you hit the power button to switch to h boot to loss the image? On the SD card I had to use the instructions to get my image then I used the utility to write the image and had no problems. @gunny ya I am curious on that as well. Bootloader controls their destiny. I still feel like I have the upper hand with HTC. To much development. Soon we will have sense, aosp, and miui. Doesn't get much better

Yes... it's because we're gadget geeks and have the attention span of a 2 year old! I got the Inspire because I couldn't wait until March 6th (the original Atrix release date) to dump my POS Craptivate.
My biggest complaint with the Inspire: No HDMI out... but I figured I'll be staring at a 4.3" screen much more often than hooking up a 4" screen phone to a TV. Also I hate where they placed the micro-usb port on the Atrix.
it just has stuff i dont need, hence finger print scanner, an outrageous priced dock. If I buy anything moto it will be the xoom
I haven't seen this addressed, so please forgive if I've overlooked the thread.
Does unlocking the bootloader via their tool provide root access? That is, will unlocking the boot loader be sufficient to give apps like Titanium Backup and ES File Explorer root access, or do I have to flash a custom ROM?
What are the side effects of unlocking? The Motorola page implies the phone may detonate or give you cancer or the like. I don't much care about DRMed media, so as long as the rest of the device's functionality works that's all I care about.
Thanks for any insight.
As far as I know (and i was confused as well), unlocking the bootloader does not mean the phone is rooted, it just ALLOWS for root or installing custom ROMs to be done more easily.
Does rooting with shabbypenguin's method modify the existing rom or does it install a new one? I can't tell from the instructions and I want to be sure I'm not going to erase my phone before I do it.

It installs the root files into /system/ when you flash the .zip in his CWM.

Hope you've already unlocked the bootloader, that process will wipe the phone. Rooting it will not.
For the current root method, you need to first unlock the bootloader, then flash a custom recovery with fastboot. Once you have that recovery in place, you can flash the su binary to have root in the system partition.
root will not bring anyside effects unless you install something that will, watch out for unknown SU requests
only side effect of root is losing the full use of some apps and total lose of some as well, taking in mind that some app developers block root users in one fashion or another

I think that it was flashed prior to your purchase based on the name of the build number... try flashing a stock rom to see if it changes or ask for a refund from the guy you bought it from
Edit....
Restoring my stock image now perhaps that will shed some light on the subject....
Stock
These are the details from the stock rom as it was received. To this point the only thing I had done was gain root access.

I spoke to the guy that sold me the phone. He has filed a request with verizon wireless to get the MEID updated in the system to show the proper device. He is a verizon rep so hopefully they will get this pushed through.
I have a friend who works for HTC and I've gotten quite a few dev phones from him. I was in the same boat once and Verizon corrected the meid number with no issue. It does take 2-3 business days though.
The problem is that the phone goes right to HTC, in my case, and not too Verizon. The phone is never tagged in their system so that's why they have too add it.

They can not just search your phone. When you call in if they need to use it, they ask your permission and before it is initiated you have to enter a code to grant access.

To my understanding, it was on our phones when we first got them. I've called into Verizon to troubleshoot a signal issue and the computer and technician both asked me to let the use it. I have always declined. My brothers Droid Razr Maxx also has this.

My thought is to use cwm to banish the update to cache limbo, where I can pick it apart at my liesure and choose what (if anything) I want from it before filing the update as a whole with my S3 data.
I miss the days when people wanted an ota to hit so we could pick it apart for new software, anymore it seems most people are afraid of it...
Remote Diagnostic is a really really old news. I have this on my Charge and I rooted the hell out of it with many many custom roms and kernels. I flash like 1000 times and when I need to exchange, I just flash back to stock and they gave me a new one. In short, it's nothing people, it just being used to fix your phone remotely, of course, before you give them permission to look around, you have to roll it back to stock first.
This was on my old Razr Maxx. As stated, you have to allow it for Verizon to use it.
And with it, Verizon was able to see how Flash video was broken on my phone after the ICS update.

This tool will now be on our phones if you update. It sounds like they may be able to see if a person Is rooted. And other security issues might arise What are your thought

All of the major telecoms have had entire floors in their office buildings full of NSA employees and government snooping equipment for years now. Root is the least of your worries.

So I was near my local Verizon store while out for lunch and decided to pop in and check out the dot view case in person I can't say why, but I decided to boot the two demo unit devices into bootloader. To my surprise they were S-OFF, found it interesting.

THIS LOL how funny would that be to see a modded out m8 in verizon some people would flip out haha
Bastards. Like they need it. If you told a Verizon rep their demo device was s-off they'd look at you like you were retarded. I would have been more jealous if they had an s4 at launch with an unlocked bootloader ( which never happened for those that don't know) wouldn't you agree andybones?

Very much so, the SG4 certainly deserved an unlocked bootloader, it's too bad that never panned out.. I had to sell my SG3 + SG4 for personal reasons.
The thing that really makes me curious about these S-OFF Demo Units is if they were like this from the start.. I bought my phone before they even had them out display (got at store at 1:40pm, they couldn't even take them out until 2pm lol)
If they were S-OFF before we had the software S-OFF I wonder if they would of let me take the Demo Unit lol, I also wonder what if any is the difference between that Demo Unit, It seemed just the software..
although with no RUU being on Demo Unit software and S-OFF wouldnt do me very much good.
Either way I found it quite interesting as I have never looked to see if HTC devices are S-OFF at Verizon..
I should have checked out the HTC M7, maybe I will tmw.

I was only there for a short amount of time, I am unsure if it was rooted, I don't think it was, also it did have stock recovery.

, very true.
I believe that HTC sent the phones S-OFF.
Why can't they ship them all that way lol.
I can't see why a Demo Unit would need S-OFF though.

s-off is less of the man telling you what you can do with your fone
I think they should all ship S-OFF but locked so they could say "No, it's still locked. See?"

Yes agreed, strangely the Demo Uints were S-OFF and LOCKED.
Just my guess, but the Demo Units they send have special software on them normally. For instance, after a certain period of time it looks through "demo" mode. They might have been shipped that way to allow for custom loading of system level items in case HTC wants to update them. Those devices on Display are normally Vendor (HTC in this case) owned.

weaksauce... flashify.... TWRP..... heck.. you could do the work without touching the USB port.. bluetooth file transfer over the files (weaksauce, flashify, TWRP, rom)
Now i get why people put the ipads on display into a different language at best buy... all starting to make sense

Yea, the software is def different, if you look at the pic in OP, the software is 1.12.605.11_DU ,assumingly for Demo Unit.
