Read the post at the url below. It describes how to get updates from Motorola cloud servers. It might be useful in getting unlocks for other phones. Please spread the word to anyone interested in an unlock for Motorola Android phones with Blur.

Once we get root this will be huge. Until then we need to remember this trick

you can see all the Motorola cloud stuff by going to testing and Motorola services. *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer gets you to testing. Don't know if this has any usefulness to it just thought id share.

I hope root comes for the phone soon, the amount of VZW crap ware is crazy.
Has anyone tried z4 to see what happens?
I'm sure it doesn't work cause if its that simple we would be rooted

all of the available root options have been tried by various members of this forum and others as well. its probably going to be a while before we get root.

Time is what it takes, and it has to be made worthwhile for devs to spend their time on it. ICS is coming and lets face it many will be looking to that as the next great frontier.
I know from various forums that with the confirmed members who will put up enough coin a ambitious dev would get enough to easily pay for a D3.
Can the Droid 3 be used on T-Mobile if unlocked or rooted? I ask because I noticed a SIM card slot. Thanks..
So I called the number off this link below and they claim they can unlock the Droid 3 for AT&T and it would work on 3g. Also, they can do the same for T-Mobile but it would only work on Edge. Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone dealt with this site before? Thanks.

so i dont know but ive been derpin around and noticed a couple things....first off apparently there is a sdk that has been updated for the droid 3 over at MOTODEV site....i was looking through some settings and enabled data encryption which required a boot into some sort of recovery where the internal disk obviously allowed -rw access inwhich i was wondering if it would be possible to dump this process through ADB (maybe find handshake)....and a simple ls command thru term reveals bloatware galore
Have we looked at te exploit that the nexus users are using? They can root 2.3.3, 2.3.4, and now 2.3.5. Seems we should use their exploit if possible

Unlocked bootloader makes rooting easier. What works for them (unlocked) will not work for the Droid 3 (locked bootloader).

They say it's the XT860 which is technically not the droid 3 but the non CDMA version of it being deployed by Bell Canada (which should be easy enough to unlock for AT&T and T-Mobile)

Unless it's like the D2G, in which case it's locked from AT&T-Mobile.
Protip: call VZW Global Services and tell them you're going to India (no global plans over there - you have to either not use your phone or rack up a giant bill) and ask for the SIM unlock code. Account has to be in good standing and the device has to be on your line.
If you have 6 months of good standing you can just ask for an unlock with no reason given.

I have the option of buying and unlocked Verizon Droid 3. I understand Verizon puts blocks on bands in the US.
My question is, is there a hack to get rid of this block? (like on the Droid 2 Global and Droid Pro)
If so, is there a tutorial?
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,
If this has already been covered then MOD please remove post.
I was wondering if it is possible to flash over to boost mobile. I have the Verizon version. I have tried to look for it but can't find an answer here or googeling it. If possible can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks for the help guys.
No. The Revo is strictly Verizon only.

Still looking for help on this

As a fellow junior member, there will most likely be no help until you learn how to ask for help.
I'm not trying to be rude. I'm trying to be helpful.
READ,READ,READ
Um ok, but that doesnt help. Not trying to be rude but you could have at least pointed me in the right direction to learn "how to ask". As for those who ran across this with the same issue while i still havnt found a fix there is an app called pinger unfortunately you have to use a separate number but it does allow you to text normally so long as you have internet via phone network or wifi

On a side note if this forum is going to act like an apple forum where its exclusive and you cant get help unless you do things just right its going to turn a lot of people away. There's a reason we all chose android, because we didn't want to be part of a community that thinks its better just because it doed things a certain way. We like the freedom of being unique not part of the iclone group. I asked for help in the best way i knew how even waiting every 24 hours to post again even though the wait was killing me. Then the response i received rang in deafening tones just how "cool" you have to be to receive any help. You know "not trying to be rude"
