I'm looking to buy a Motorola atrix 2 really cheap. The only thing is the seller says its bootlooping and they don't know how to fix it and they said it happened after cyanogen was put on it. Considering they didn't seem to know what that even was I doubt they know whether its cm7,9, or 10.
That being said I've done some reading about soft bricks, boot loops, fxz, and whatnot on the atrix 2 but being as I've never messed with flashing one of these phones I have no idea if its something I can recover. Im not new to the flashing process but Motorola appears to be a much different animal compared to Samsung phones. Can anyone advise how to go about getting it up and running or whether its even possible in its current state with the limited info I have.

It should be fine to reflash FXZ, just bes sure what region you're AT&T, India or China (Retail). Retail fw can downgrade & change to any other non AT&T fw...

Is there any way to tell what region the phone is in its current state?

Fair enough. I was told its at&t but who knows when you're looking on craigslist. Either way it sounds like I can probably bring it back to life. Thank you guys for the advice.

Hey guys! I see that verizon has decided to release a pre paid version of the Moto G on their pre paid network. Is there by chance any way to root this? Rooting guides? Custom ROMs? Custom Recoveries? Anything of the sort? I can't seem to find anything, or perhaps the same rooting steps and/or ROMs for the real Verizon version still work? Thanks guys! Oh, and how to unlock it's bootloader, lets not forget that! THANKS!

Unfortunately, the verizon variant of the Moto G has a locked bootloader. I picked this phone up and have been using it for a good month now. Its a really great phone, but would be much much better with custom roms and such. There is a thread where some guys are trying to unlock the bootloader with a keygen. you can check the thread out here
I hope someday we will have an unlocked bootloader
Or at least root. I know with other phones it was possible without bootloader unlock, so if we could just get root, that'd be awesome. Been on this phone for a week, and while it's a decent phone without root, I definitely miss it.

oh no doubt, i came from an sgs2 and i can tell a very noticeable difference with smoothness and overall performance.. root is definitely missed!
So the boot loader is the issue here? Always hated how Verizon Locke's their boot loaders, god forbid one of us doesn't like that build of android! Haha well thanks for clearing that up guys! When this is unlocked, will there more than likely be specific ROMs for this phone? Or just any Moto G Verizon ROM? Probably a dumb question lol

Hello,
I have verizon razr hd xt926 stock version 4.4.2 i am unable to root through towelroot what is another solution for root, unlock bootloader and recovery.
Please help.
Take a look around and read a little bit but I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned a few times that once you upgrade to stock 4.4.2 there is no such thing as rooting or unlocking your bootloader anymore. They've locked it down. Google the specific version that you have.

Yes. You will forever have that device running whatever it is you have. NEVER take new OTAs until you read up on them and learn the effects of what the update does. Some updates are good to go and will allow you to unlock and root. Others, which it looks like in your case, will not allow you to unlock and root.
Best bet, find a broken device on ebay or amazon that is still able to be unlocked, buy it, and have it shipped to you. Also purchase any tools needed to open your device and a T5 screwdriver. Do a motherboard swap and then follow any guides on here to get the unlockable OTA to your device.
Good luck with this issue, we'll be here to help where/when we can.
Hi all,
I started working on the LG G5 a way back .. and now that we've got the device in stores I guess it's time to work all together to bring it up !
STATUS
- [02/04/2016] All the US Carriers/Sellers locked the bootloaders so NO TWRP possible and consequently NO CM possible
CURRENT GOALS
- Thought, all the Europe variants will be for sure unlocked so we need to prepare the sources for it
- Here is where all the sources are pushed https://github.com/G5Devs
ETA :
- The tree is made
- The vendor is made
- The kernel is made
TODO :
- Clarifying kernel sources
- Add the ramdisk to the device
- Split the g5 to g5-common and all the under variants
This thread is not a thread to release builds, it's about contributing all together into this bringup in order to get the nicest thing out of it when the bootloaders will become unlockable.
I hope we'll can work all together !
Does no twrp mean no roms at all and can certain stuff be done via adb?

No twrp means no custom roms ever.
I thought someone somewhere said the Tmobile version had an unlocked loader

Anything about the Canadian variants? I presume they will be like the US ones.
Would root still be possible through?

It does unlock, but the DM-VERIFY is still presenting a no-go.
Evidently LG is using a custom type of bootloader.

only for that specific device(s) on HTC
HTC has a portal that allows you to unlock bootloader for that specific device (hence the need to copy+paste token to HTC's portal and get the unlock key)
no doubt HTC will void warranty immediately in their system when you input token
LG doesn't have this (yet? i hope)
Yeah, was just a thought. Haven't owned a LG in some time, been on the Samsung wagon. The G5 is on my watch list of devices I might get, I like the design. I'll try to see if I can find something that might be more constructive to the cause. The HTC link was the first thing I could think of that I've dealt with.
I see that LG has release a tool for the G4 and that's device specific and seems to work on the European devices.
Totally willing to contribute monetarily if this will help any developers out. I don't have much else but really want to help get this phone broken open and fixed up good!

Maybe when everything will be finished to improve module compatibility.
PS : NEWS : I'm mostly done making the variant specific trees and kernel. But I want the kernel to be clean.. So it's slow..
Any status updates? I'm following this stuff like a hawk haha
Been reading around trying to gather information
How do you test to see if your handset has the DM verify second bootloader lock?
I am hoping to get my UK unbranded unlocked retail H850 unit on Friday, so am happy to test any restrictons, but don't know how to check for this?
If I buy a g5 from best buy would it still have the locked bootloader?

Great. Root/TWRP/all that comes with it is out for the LG V20... H918
but anyone have news, or better, ever try to root the Canadian Version ? (H915)
I'm SOOOO frustrated with Mobile Manufacturer. All I want is a powerfull phone, with the possibility to add storage (sdcard), change the damm battery and the possibility to install custom roms.
But it seems the word out there these days is to avoid those 3 things as much as possible... ARG!!!
Not even the AT&T and Verizon variants have their bootloader unlocked and rooted yet. So it's too early to be frustrated.
Any news on LG-H915?
Unsupported
Also waiting! Had a Note 7 and G5 canadian No Roots for them either!

Could it be based on the fact he's on a different network? I thought by rooting, theres a chance to lose the network unlock? I understand he's using the H915 on Rogers (similar frequency to AT&T I think), so could that be the issue?
Curious as to why the service isn't working if the AT&T variant is working, when supposodly H915 and H910 are "the same".

That's very unfortunate he hasn't been on for 2 days. I would test myself, but this is my daily driver, and I have no dev experience to debug issues that may araise.
Thank you for figuring out how to root, and unlock the BL regardless.
We hope the Dev of the h915 gets back online to provide us any updates on the progress to unlock the BL and root this model. It would be very nice to get them get them ready before Christmas day... but well, I guess we are gonna have to wait a bit longer. I know that most of us promise a nice donation if we get there anytime soon. This won't be forgotten for sure.
While root is nice and this is my first device I've used that doesnt have root remember to weigh the pros and cons. With no current method to revert you may lose out on any future otas and be stuck forever on your current android version. Personally I am in no rush although i am curious about it working for the 915. If there ever is a revert method i would be more inclined to try rooting
i actually find it a positive thing to stay in a known good version of android where things works.
I've noticed with each never version of android, things keeps getting locked down more and more.
I never went for Apple because of its lock down policy, and now Google is slowly becoming another Apple, trying to lock down the phones so people have no freedom of choice to tinkle around with their ROM, just all in the name of keeping Dev happy, because they claim when user has too much power, then their work is not safe. (by that they mean they can't milk money dry to the end users, if end users have the ability to hack)
