Yes, Motorola is planning to have the bootloader unlocked. The thing is, no one knows when.

You've already posted that here.
Tech support knows less than we do most of the time. Means absolutely nothing.
That's why its in general. To have a conversation about it. I posted it in the other forum to just show, not start a new conversation there about it. Since that one is strictly for bootloader unlocking. I will speak with another tech support to see if I get the same result

Yea I will donate my bounty if Motorola Unlocks my phone. So hopefully Moto reads this and wants to help starving children in Africa.
If Motorola unlocks the bootloader, then I'll be more than happy to donate my pledge to a reputable charity. But this is good news, hopefully that tech support rep knew what they were talking about!
Besides that I'm sure moto could give 2 f*[email protected] about a few hundred dollars lol.

A men....
Miss CM7 from my D1. Wanted a D2G, but alas, locked up bootloader and no CM7 meant no love for me.
By the way, aren't we getting closer to that "promise" by Moto about unlocking the bootloaders by the end of the year?
Seems like that has gone by the wayside lately...big shock. Another broken Moto promise...SD card running on the Xoom sound familiar? 4gLTE via software patch that was downloadable? Need I go on? Sorry Moto, but your "promise credit" is no good.
Please devs, link to the nightlies as soon as available. I'm on board for flash-fest and test...lol.
Thanks in advance.

Stop whining about what Moto have not done about the bootloader. The droid 3 is not even 3 month old yet, and there is no way Moto will unlock it anytime soon. If they promised to unlock it, then they most likely will. Take a look at the Atrix for instance.

Atrix was an internal testing leak. It's possible that we'll never see it and I honestly don't think we ever will. Would it be nice? Yes of course, but we will still have plenty of mods to make this phone even better.
Wait. It's on the way.
Hope it can also improve the signal or maybe a better radio..!!!

I will probably be on narcotICS until CM7 is released.
i cannot wait for CM7 for droid 3 to come out. i am willing to be a beta tester if there are any needed.
I know I'm a bit late to this party, but Moto said they would unlock the bootloader on their phones SUBJECT TO CARRIER APPROVAL.
Does anyone here really think Big Red will allow such a thing? I personally, don't hold out much hope for that.

Verizon obviously doesn't give a **** about the bootloader, since it's going to be the first carrier to release the Galaxy Nexus. And now that Google owns motorola I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but it doesn't really matter.
I am very excited for CM7 (or CM9 for that matter)! I have only had the Droid Pro and now the Droid 3 so I have never been able to really take advantage of it.
This is an amazing hack by Hashcode! He built a hack to load CM7 on the Droid 3 that will also work on the Droid Bionic! I tested it on the Droid Bionic today and it worked! (ya I am crazy)
Now you need to note that this is in the begining stages, but with us Devs teaming up, this can be great!
Thanks to Hashcode and of course Cyanogenmod team!
Hashcode Github: https://github.com/Hashcode

What is performance like (for both this current working version and the D3)?
What's currently broken in this one?
Just curious, I know this isn't a stable release. More wondering into the generals about it.
This is the excitement I've needed lately. I've been reading the hype on the galaxy nexus and razr which have been eclipsing our new bionics. I know that's just how it seems to me, in reality its the bootloader that its slowing the development and further excitement. Cyanogen was stellar on my OG Droid. Koush rules!

Definitely will be following this. Switched from reblurred to liberty, and when this becomes stable, which I'm sure will take no time at all, I'll flash this. But I thought there was a developer already working on a cm7 for the bionic? Has been for a while I think

I'm greatly appreciative of your comments mistawolfe. I was a victim of TDB with the X2 promises. After two months of waiting and very little progress on the X2 anywhere else, I gave up and threw in the towel. That was my lesson -- money wasted. I now own a Bionic and I can't be happier. And now, when I donate, it's to sites like MDW, Rootzwiki, DL and here. At least that way, I have a reasonable expectation that my money is going to good uses. I live for forums like these and I will do all that I can to help them thrive. I was just very touched and happy to hear that someone else identified with my pain. Thanks again.

I was already gone from my x2 when I stumbled across the Rootz thread. It's funny, Butch starts out all nice and open to the other members, then as soon as he gets the phone he changes tone. I'm in sales, so we call that the old "bait and switch" - By the end of it he was just downright nasty - probably crushed many people. I sat and read the whole thread one day and was just disgusted.
I'm not saying he should have given them a blow by blow on a daily basis, but if you read the thread from start to finish you'll see what I'm talking about. Absolutely no respect for that guy - ZILCH.
So this is using another bootloader? If that's the case custom kernels would be available through this bootloader right?

How are would they put an adult's lung inside a 10 year old girl?
I realize that this is not a charity org site, which is why I'm not asking for monetary donations. All I'm asking for is a couple of minutes out of everyone's busy schedule to just sign a petition that could possibly help the child from my post above or any other child that may face the same situation in the near future.
Besides, the last I checked, this is an off topic forum.
Also for those that feel this is fake...that's why I posted the link to abcnews site. This was also on the news broadcast this afternoon. Check all the news sources online or offline and let me know if you find that this is a scam.

Even when petitions "succeed" they typically do absolutely nothing and the people who sign them go back to their lives feeling like they made a difference. If you really care about something then you need to call or write your representative and encourage others to do the same.
Also for those that are skeptical, the petition to Make Unlocking Cell Phones Legal received 114,322 signatures(including mine) and resulted in an official White House response:
OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE RESPONSE TOMake Unlocking Cell Phones Legal. said:
The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It's common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE this phone! And love and respect everyone who is working on getting the boot loader unlocked and etc. But it just flat out sucks LG is being so stubborn about it. I mean come on they release this kick ass, powerful ass, unique 1st of its kind phone, but keep the 1 thing on lock down that could sky rocket it to fame. Just imagine how much more popular and how much more money LG would get if this beast was free to play with!
I haven't lost hope can't wait for the miracle to happen, just sucks LG isn't helping.

Like seriously there's been so many repeats or useless threads about the same topic and such I'm tired of coming on here hoping to find either good news or some kind of useful information about the device but instead its getting cluttered with threads like this one. You could have gone in a thread where the topic is about loki and express your feelings there about how sucks it is even though some of us probably wouldn't have cared but it could have saved you from creating this useless thread.

Having an unlocked bootloader would do nothing for the sales of this phone. The majority of people have no clue what a bootloader is, or have a need to flash anything. LG will make it's decisions based on those people not people on XDA. I do wish LG would jump on the Dev Edition bandwagon, at least give me the option to pay more to do whatever I want to my phone.
Being a flash whore I kind of like taking a break and getting things done. lol

My line about making more popular is on the basis is look at the people already wanting to switch because it's still locked. And I know it wouldn't be a tremendous difference. But you can't tell me with our community as big as it is that not being able to flash and etc isn't impacting domes wants to keep or get this phone. And if you find my thread useless don't read or comment.
