So, we all need a reason why moto is not unlocking the bootloader on A2? Why dont we have our own reasons?
Rules: 1. Nah! Forget the rules, nobody seems to follow them!
Here's my reasons to start this off:
1. Somebody lost the key to the bootloader and they are still searching for the guy who made the lock in first place!
2. There are reports that Sanjay J. took all the keys with him.

Thats the beauty of life bro, you will always find someone dumber than us! :silly:
I say they (Motorola) is not unlocking the BL because they fell asleep at the wheel and are just coasting forward, until Google totally scraps the company and it morphs into something better, but that will be 5 years out before we see too much from the merger/buyout.
Just my thoughts on it.
They can't unlock the boootloader because they stole it from Samsung who stole it from apple. I say we hold a séance and ask steve. Maybe Xerox knows.

I say Motorola does not unlock the BL because the Xda Atrix 2 dev team does all the work and they take all the glory.....
Side note I have a good feeling with the ota we will be unlocked.....
Because the unlock is already in place everyone is overlooking it and Motorola is laughing its butt off.

They dont have time to unlock our boot loader. They're too busy working on JEllyBean releases for us! Then they are gonna release their "non-warranty ending" version of their official unlocker for us. This way they'll keep a bunch of loyal customers because they acted like they gave a sh*t after they got our money.... just like all corporations do nowadays!
I am betting its AT&T's fault. Blame AT&T i say!
Personally, I think you should have an option for unlocking the bootloader the same as unlocking the phone from the network. It IS YOURS after all, and at the end of the day its just a little computer. So why are we not allowed to do what we want with it?

Yup. Remember that the majority of XDA users are unregistered, so they can't actually post (without more effort). There are a lot of great petition websites on the internet. I'd try one of those.

Not quite sure I care what you think. I was banned unfairly and but a few see that. In any case, I have tons of people who enjoy the ROM. Instead of being a deadbeat jackass, contribute to the community you leech from.

Yup, I've read through all the drama .. it was very entertaining but either way, I don't care who did what to who, etc ... Jin's been helpful to me and quite a few other people and is the last dev standing (so it seems) and for that, thank you! Good luck with the S2 & come back soon
Not up to you to decide if you were banned unfairly. That's for the moderators to handle. You could have acted respectful and took it up with them. Instead you've been a **** and repeatedly forced your way back on. As a result I don't trust your work. If you're willing to act like a spoiled brat and disregard any rules that don't suit you, how do I know you haven't done something like installed a back door in your ROM? Maybe you haven't. But perhaps you can see why acting badly can damage your reputation?
I don't care what one member thinks. I do what benefits me and the community. Don't trust my work, everyone else will remain ahead. A Backdoor on an Android device? Considering the ROMs kernel was developed by nxd you're saying you don't trust him. Regardless, any back doors are easily found by
scanning the .zip and I'm very secure and have not had one alert. Here's a hint, only post in threads where your opinion is valued, because in this thread it is not.
Anyways guys for future changes I'm working on battery life.

Reactive shamelessly copied and stole all of his work and had the nerve to put "Don't kang my sh*t, bro" on every other line.
Working with the mods didn't make him any less of a jerk or thief.

Shut up u dumbass u are the one that sounds disrepecful right now. And you don't trust his **** well I have been running his rom and it is the most stable one I have found. Maybe he did brake some rules and got banned but the way I see it the mods don't really care about the sk4g and how the forum is dieing. So yeah he might have broke some rouls and **** but it was to help us and keep the sk4g alive when everyone eals baled. Some times rouls need to be broken. The needs of the meany outweigh the wants of the few.
To the last sidekick.... thanks!!! U have been our robin Hood.

Hello,
Today I'm going to try test two of the bootloader unlock.
I'm not responsible if this hard-bricks your device, no don't blame me.
OK, so pm me please if you want to try it.
Only ONE person with 50+ posts or 10+ thanks may try it.
So post here first so that we can tell who will test it.
Good Luck,

Why not try on your own device? If I was working a zip flash to unlock the bootloader, I'd be trying on my own phone, rather than enlist others who may possibly brick as result. And, as DX2Trip asked in "test two", have the devs seen this that you're experimenting with?

The prize makes it sound that much more of a risk. (No offence) lol. So odds are more people won't want to take that chance ya know? Anyway...I really hope this is a break through and someone can crack this b!otch! Big props if you pull it off man.

There have been offers like this in the past. So please don't cast aspersions on the OP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840550
The OPs offer is rather more generous in comparison.
Why do people always bother to see the post count and reps ? Its surely not a measure of how intelligent a person is.A person might be good but could have joined board late so he might be having less rep and posts. :/ We need to stop skeptical and embrace the help.
@OP : good luck with it.Some more details would be nice. All the best.
Edit : good example of what I wanted to say : http://i.imgur.com/v0H7z.jpg
The idea with the post count requirement was to make sure that motorola didn't create an account and volunteer to test it, and then go and analyze it, patch it if it worked, and then report back that it didn't either way.
Personally, I think that this may be unnecessary (although I have doubts about Moto's character, they definitely don't have the resources to be trolling dev forums in an effort to actively discourage development on year old hardware)
I would volunteer to test this, except that I fall just short of both requirements and I would also like to know what happened with the previous two tests before attempting this one (did they result in a brick?)
Again, as Fall of Enosis mentioned, the lack of replies by OP is a bit questionable. People asked legitimate questions in the first "test thread", and nothing was answered. Any good dev keeps up with his/her threads, and assures people with confidence by laying concerns to rest with some riposte. Not trying to cast any doubt on the OP's abilities, just a mention here of maybe taking a more proactive role in the threads he starts. My suggestion, to be taken or left alone...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I am just going to assume that you will give us an over view of what you tried. We don't want people to get all pushy but it would be nice.
I'm also assuming the thread (x-files thread) a couple of days ago that ended in pm's was hashed out on back channels and this is a by product.
If I wrong well so be it but that's what happens when there is sooo little info.
Good luck.

I actually didn't look much at the OP, thinking that it was the same group of people that were doing the BL unlock the last time. I have reconsidered my decision to be a part of this test. Actually, I think this thread should be locked, but that's not my choice to make.

$50 if it works and zilch if I brick my phone. I think I'll give it a pass.
Hey everyone. So I just read this morning on Techno Buffalo's sight that as of this Sunday it will be illegal to unlock your phone in the US!!! I'm curious to hear some feedback from people(espesially the devs) on what you may think this means for us as consumers and for XDA?? Do you think it will get to the point where you won't be able to post "how to unlock" forums and video's? Or will this just be another law on paper that doesn't really get enforced in any way?? Thoughts??
