Hello
Ive seen a couple of leak pictures of a Droid 5 and Im intrested but only if it has a unlocked bootloader and if custom ROMs can be flashed. I wanted to know how is this going in the new Moto X phone now that Google is involved.
Thank you
New boss same as the old boss. Still locked down in the US on AT&T and VZW.
It is not the manufacturer who is the problem with locking down the bootloaders. It is the carriers that are requiring it. Motorola wants to sell the phone, AT&T and VZW say well you have to lockdown the bootloader if you want to use it on our network. So Motorola says alright. Thats why they will offer a Developer Edition, because if you buy the phone outright at full price, AT&T and VZW are unable to control it.
But on the bright side, the T-Mobile version will not be locked down per Motorola as far as we know. So there may be a chance to find a factory restore image for T-Mobile and push it to the AT&T model and resolve this issue.
I currently am using an LGOG from AT&T and while I was able to unlock it, there were alot of kernel issues at first with the phone due to LG. But we were able to flash the Nexus 4 factory restore image via the LG software and basically have an Nexus 4 and be able to use any of their roms. Just wait for it to get popular and get some Devs behind the phone.

The only way to flash Roms will be if someone introduces exploit similar to the one on S4. the game has changed and old ways of hacking changed.

A. I thin after moto pushes out all their phones that they had planned before Google took them over we can kiss all upgrade chances goodbye. I also think that after that happens the new line of moto will be much better. I also doubt we will ever unlock the bootloader

i am wondering how will they make photoshere work when none of the Motorola phones have a gyroscope .
so for now only 4.1.2 seems possible .
I love this phone, I got rid of my S2 Skyrocket for it. Beautiful screen and the solid build were the two reasons, but the locked bootloader is so infuriating and feeling like a shameful step-child its just so frustrating...

But if you run it at 182 before you know it you will have to run all you're ROMs at 182 its addictive lol

Ha, I normally don't make that kind mistake, I literally rolled out of bed and replied to the post.. Lol anyway, I used your rom on the galaxy nexus and loved and actually kept the stock dpi but on this phone even with swift key at the maximum height it's still too small for my fingers to be accurate.

On this phone 182 dpi is unbearable actually. The 1080p screen makes it impossible lol to be used at that dpi.

Then you definitely shouldn't do it! If you've not got the time to search, read and understand what you're doing and how to reverse the procedure if needed then walk away now...coupled with the fact that at the top of this very Q&A forum is a sticky thread labelled "[Video Guide] How To Unlock Bootloader & Root - USER FRIENDLY" shows you've not even tried to help yourself. No offence, but just look first as it's all here...
Anyone have any insight as to when we will be able to get access to this? I know it's available on gsm variants but not cdma at the moment. I want some aosp flavor lol

There is one over in the Verizon thread. If you just changed the partition numbers in the updater script there is a fairly decent chance it would boot on a Sprint variant.

Just made the necessary partition edits in updater-script and it was a success... The phone boots fine and everything but sprint data seems to be working (calls and texts are fine). I'm going to try to make some more edits to get this working, but if anyone could point me in the right direction that'd be great. :laugh:
EDIT: Data is now working decently after swapping a few network related files.
EDIT 2: Still working on data since it only connects every few reboots... Trying to figure this verizon to sprint cdma conversion stuff out, so if anyone has experience feel free to chime in.
That's sweet. I would love to give it a test when you are ready.

Moved to Q&A
Just curious what ROMs people are using from the Note 3 international forum? There are just so many ROMs to choose from so it would be good to hear which ones are the most popular?
Unfortunately we can't flash international roms on our phones due to the locked bootloader and kernel. But there are ways around it like you can flash the rom you want using safestrap then flashing the nc2 bootloader, kernel and the partition file (don't remember what's it called) via odin. Then you have the wake lock issue's on any rom above ne6.

The international note and the AT&T note are 2 entirely different phones. Even if the bootloader was unlocked you can't flash those roms on this phone.
