Losing unlock if continuing flashing roms?

Hello I wanted to know that if I unlock the atrix would I lose it if I switch roms in the future? I have seen some other forums that you would not but I just wanted to make sure
Thanks

You have to be careful when you say "unlock." In most modding forums, "unlock" means an unlocked bootloader. In most general android forums, "unlock" could mean SIM unlocked (so you can switch carries) or bootloader unlocked.
We currently don't have a way to unlock the A2's bootloader, so I assume you mean a SIM unlock. In that case, then flashing ROMs/installing OTAs will NOT re-lock you.

I have an SIM unlocked Atrix 2 AT&T, flash, up ROM, still unlocked.

People have been SIM unlocking their phones since long before we had Android phones with locked bootloaders.
I don't think you can be blamed for the ignorance of others.

Is root required to unlock bootloader

I follow all root how to but fail due to permission denied error.
People say you can unlock bootloader without being rooted.
But all unlocking how to, state that phone must be rooted.
I have XL, 1.88.
Can anyone confirm that I can unlock bootloader without being root initially?

You have to be rooted. Sorry.

Not entirely true. You need to be rooted on AT&T, since BL unlock is not officially offered for us and we need to change the SuperCID.
Not sure if this is the case with SingTel. Most carriers are allowed to unlock their BL officially. If HTC offers the bootloader unlock for that carrier CID, you do not need root. And root is easily achieved after BL unlock (just install a custom recovery and flash SU).

Sorry. Unfamiliar with other carriers. Plus, I never saw the One X in the list on the dev site at all. Has it changed? Or, are you saying that some carriers don't lock the bootloader at all? I wonder why AT&T even cares about locking it down.

If your phone is NOT on AT&T, you can unlock the bootloader with HTCDev.com
That means you do NOT i repeat NOT need root.
Just choose "All other supported phones" in the list of phones.

To everyone else: The singtel phone has the tegra 3 chip, not ours

I lol'd at this. No offense taken. Actually, you are quite correct. I've been unhappy in general with AT&T, but not much of a choice is available. Glad we had that break-up of Ma Bell so long ago because of deregulation. Sounds like we need that again.

Are you sure? It is listed as a HTC One XL with LTE coverage and their firmware works on everyones S4 phones.
Where is your info coming from that the phone isnt a S4??

To add facts:
Singtel previously offers both: HTC one X and HTC one XL (LTE).
Now, I think Singtel only offers One XL.
Singtel 4G Network Just about 3 months old.

BTW, I successfully Unlock Bootloader and gain root upon Rom Flashed.
I encountered no trouble at all. And did the following:
. follow HTCdev literally
. flash TWRP recovery image using fast boot flash command
. flash custom rom zip file thru TWRP
=) +1 rooted HOXL

[Q] Unlocked Bootloader -> No OTA-Updates?

I've read in one Thread, that if my Bootloader is unlocked, i will not get any OTA-Updates anymore.
Is that true, has anyone experience with this or experienced it?
Thanks in Advance, Esok44

Unlocking the bootloader on XT925

Hi everyone, I want to unlock my bootloader and install custom roms, but someone told me that if I unlock the XT925 bootloader I would not receive anymore future OTA Updates, It let me wondering how truth is this? I've search throughout the internet but there is not much about this matter with my phone.

If your BL is unlocked, you can still take updates. However, the charm of having an unlocked bootloader is being able to flash the updates, after the DEVs get them and tweak them. One thing, though, if you're on the latest update already, you can't unlock the BL.

i thought the patch only applied to the 926, i thought the international version could still be unlocked. i could be wrong!
here it the moto page to see if yours can still be unlocked and how to do it if it can https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b or you could just try the unlock exploit found in these forums.

If by lastest update you refer to jb 4.3 then no, this phone only gets jb 4.1.2 so far.

I try to unlock the bootloader but recieves this message during the procedure to get an unlock key: "Your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."
This is the european version of Motorola Razr HD (xt925), bought from eXpansys. What do I do now? Follow the instructions at Cyanogenmods website instead?

Try using the exploit from one of the tools on here.

Probably. I think I'm gonna go with Mr.Parkinsons DroidHD Utility 2.0.
But it's just weird when it obviously should be working. Motorola...

If you have an XT925 you unlock through moto no matter which version of firmware you have. If you have an XT926 you use the exploit on whichever version it worked on.
