[Q] Droid Ultra Development - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any development being made towards the Droid Ultra? I just got it today and was wondering if there's any roms. Another question. Does the maxx development work the same towards this phone as well? I keep seeing threads about the maxx.

Same phone, different battery/back cover. There is pretty much nothing for the locked phones development wise.

Is there a way to unlock the bootloaders? Im pretty sure its been done before

No way to unlock. Unless Moto decides to change this, we are stuck. You can root and do Gravity Box to do some tweaking.

Im pretty sure the droid 2 and droid 4 had locked bootloaders but they still were able to have roms. Or am i completely wrong?

There were ROMs for many phones with locked bootloaders. For some reason this phone has not gotten any action though.

So it is possible? Just that no one has done it yet

Pretty much. I thought they had gotten safestrap up and running and there was 1 ROM.

I think safestrap works on all phones and the rom is for developer phones only

Previous droids had an option to unlock boot loaders (at least before some OTAs). Unfortunately there is no such option yet for the latest line.
My be we will start crowd founding for unlocking boot-loader like we did for root solution? =)

Is there anything for the Developer phones? I don't see anything on here. I am hoping the Developer phone revolution will hit Verizon's customers, but it doesn't seem to be happening.

I can't believe nobody is interested in this?
just checked up on it today and i see the international version is now in there for testing.
I had an app on my DX that would allow for dual boot. It was a cool idea but never quite worked right.
I will give it ago if it works.

Sounds cool - how's it work? Boots up two different ROMs?

Keep in mind this is a whole lot better and easier because we have an unlocked bootloader. The DX did not dual boot well because of the locked bootloader and did not allow different kernels.

What's going on in development?

I have noticed that many ROM threads are being closed recently. What's going on with that? Can't even find a couple of my favorite.

Where do you see this..those have been closed awhile now.
Probably the GE 4.3 based. I think Google politely asked XDA to hold off for now on those...but I might be wrong.
Well I can't find SHOStock. I might be dumb or blind. But also, the Infamous GE ROM is locked. A few others are locked as well that weren't locked a couple weeks ago.

Just checked on my computer. I can see it there. But I can't see it on the XDA App... Weird. Been having a few issues with this app.
Anyways, as dlfar as locked ROM threads go, seen a few get locked up in the last week. 1 I think was because the dev was using another devs work without permission. Is this happening with most of the others?

I've owned an S4, the HTC One and the LG G2 and I keep going back to my Maxx.

There aren't even any phones out now or upcoming that excite me as much as the maxx... And it came out last August...
Though once the stock Moto X features get odexed into CyanogenMod I would very seriously consider flashing it on my droid maxx to get rid of all of the Verizon bloat... I had most of it frozen with titanium backup but still apps like Amazon still run in the background... And I learned a long time ago not to uninstall odexed apps
And I like how close to stock cm11 is with supersu and theming integrated with the ROM
Never going back to a smaller battery'd smartphone.

Well I got it last Saturday and it was already updated to 4.4 so I can get rid of the bloat if I wanted too.

Just came back from picking up mine. Fast as heck. Loving it so far. Hope we can get S-Off on this one. I tried HTC Dev Unlock in case Verizon ha d not covered that yet but it looks like they did
Thinking of dumping my S4 and getting this since they can't seem to unlock the Bootloader...

Basically...

Had to move on

Blaze brothers, I was forced to move to Verizon so I purchased the LG G2. It makes me sad that I won't be as active on this thread as much as I used to be, but all good things must end eventually. I still have my blaze and will be using it as a wifi device. This is the forum where I learned all things root and it will always hold a special place. I'll still check in so if there are any questions I can answer I definitely will!

I do. I used custom so long I'm really enjoying stock. That might change eventually but right now I feel like stock is just a blast. Plus with titanium, freezing all the bs is giving me amazing battery life. I did the kitkat ota and it's so nice having official! Are you going to go custom?

That is true. The minimal amount of bs and zero bloat is hands down the best part of custom. Like I said, it'll happen, no doubt.
