I'm sure this has been tried but haven't seen it anywhere.
Has anyone confirmed the bootloader still being locked after the .906 update, say by doing fastboot oem unlock?

I have not seen it but sounds like it will be cool to see because the bootloader update was the last update we will get for the droid 3 i hope some one will test it

I'm kind of confused in this..if the boot loader is locked how are we able to flash safe strap and stuff? And has anyone tried the moto unlock command on their phone? I don't get why the boot loader is jnlockable on most of the new ones but this one isn't yet

I believe safestrap and bootstrap get on there by some kind of exploit, outside of the bootloader. Whatever it is, its wicked and the Droid3/XT860 community has some amazing people!

It's have tried running unlock commands through adb and get "command not found " or something along those lines. It appears that a lower level check/encryption has been enabled on these phones which doesn't allow us to unlock the bootloader.
Hashcode created safestrap/bootstrap by doing something in the 2nd init phase of the boot process. With the locked bootloader we have to run the stock kernel which makes it really hard to get ics hardware features working.

Is there no other phone that uses a similar boot as the Droid 3 with low level encryption/

I think all of the recent phones by Motorola, after the Atrix have the same locked boot loader. I could be wrong though, but that's what I've sort of observed.
That'd make sense considering or looks like) they use the same exploit. But if this one is older wouldn't that make it easier?

So I went to unlock my boot loader by typing in fastboot oem unlock and it said the lock state was unlock. Then I flashed cwm recovery and flashed SU/busybox through cwm, rebooted and everything is still there! Anyone know why it didn't erase everything? I also have root, and am still on stock. Thanks!

Huh...I wonder why some phones don't get erased when the bootloader is unlocked...Hopefully someone knows because I'm curious!

I "just" think that your phone/anyone that isnt delete any thing because it is a factory unlocked.

Factory unlocked has nothing to do with the bootloader. A factory unlocked phone is a phone that is SIM unlocked and can be used on any GSM carrier, not locked to one specific carrier. The unlocking they're talking about here (bootloader) is what allows the security of the boot loader to be set to off and allows a custom recovery/kernel to be flashed which can then be used to grant root access which means writing to the system partition. All phones (even nexus) ship with a locked bootloader. The nexus is not encrypted and can be unlocked easily, which is what we are talking about here.

No. What i mean is factory "BOOTLOADER" Unlocked.
(Someone had it)
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium
Mine didn't wipe either, didn't pay much attention to it.
It is a bug introduced in 4.1 I believe (the Galaxy Nexus has the same issue). It can be fixed with any future update to the bootloader so you can't depend on it not formatting on unlock.
I'm wanting to get rid of CWM Recovery and flash my handset with the recovery.img from Guru reset tool. But it fails please see attached photo

Is your bootloader unlocked? Where did this recovery come from?

No the bootloader is LOCKED as I was told you could still flash recovery when it's locked. And the stock recovery is from Guru Reset Tool.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Ok.. then unlock bootloader, root the phone, flash stock recovery and lock bootloader using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477792, and then unroot.
Additionally, you can unlock bootloader, flash stock recovery, and then issue fastboot oem lock (this will give you RELOCKED) bootloader. No need to root/unroot..

Did something happen?? I just switched over from my atrix hd it's been rooted and unlocked bootloader for over a year. Well my wife thought if I did the same to get atrix she could get more money out of it. Rooting and unlocking the bootloader on hers was one of the most time consuming unlock I've done. I had to use ubuntu and etc etc...wow did she get an update that made it so complicated from when i did mine??

If she was on 4.1.x a few months ago, then yeah...
AFAIK The Ubuntu Root method wasn't so bad though. After one or two tries it goes through easy.
The bootloader unlock was rather easy as well.
At least you managed to root & unlock it so it all worked out right? ?

@needleyepoke Myth Tools, which uses motopocalypse to unlock the bootloader and motochopper to root. Takes about a minute each. Or you can download each tool seperately

Is there a newer method for unlocking your bootloader? for system version 98.4.20? Because motoapacolypse will not unlock my bootloader and several pages claim it still works. I need a method compaitble with windows 7 and complete instructions please.

I just wanna install cyanogenmod i rooted and kept the stock rom cus i wanted to keep using smartactions but after having tons of problems i switched to juice defender ultimate and i see no reason to stay on stock firmware with its bad battery life and excessively high ram usage
How can i relock the bootloader (i am running stock rom now) and get the stock recovery back.
Im thinking about selling the atrix and i wouldnt like the buyer to see the 'unlocked' bootloader thing
Once unlocked, you cannot relock the bootloader.

Not sure if will lock it. But is a good idea as it will be the only solution
Unlocking the bootloader will blow the efuses in the phone. Once these efuses have been blown, it cannot be reversed.
Well i did it for the sakes of it just to learn before i read it. You can relock the bootloader yes. But the permanent battery will record it as relocked.
You can read about this new feature from motorola for rooting but same method for bootloader. http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ndwich-builds-for-its-phones-purpose-unknown/
To relock it do it from fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" should re-lock the bootloader.
