Droid X Security Measures

As outlined by Droid dev Steven Bird: http://stevenbird.info/2010/07/10/the-droidx-security-and-discovery/
I know absolutely nothing about Android development, but here's hoping that another dev here can make sense of it.

I love the confidence.

An "efuse" hardware chip? Wow Motorola!

I like the screen of the droid x, I like the size, but there is no way I could in good conscience buy this phone. Motorola has just slapped the dev community in the face.

Even Iphone doesn't have this BS , i guess Motorola one upped apple by kicking customers twice in the balls.

couldn't they run into some legal issues with this efuse method?

what about women?

What we need to do is setup a site called "WeWant2RootDroidX.com" and make all tech blogs in the world link to it.
Well, just an idea.

Done deal. Give DNS a few hours to propagate and it's live!

The Droid X is already rooted though. The bootloader is what everyone is concerned about.

Link to news of root?

Apparently the original Droid has the same "eFuse". I think we need to reserve judgement until we find out if Moto is utilizing it or not. Just because it's there doesn't mean it's in use.

I was about to say the same thing, this chip is nothing new and doesn't stop you from rooting, get real, they even advertised the ability to root this phone in their ads

I don't know if I've seen an ad talking about root, but...
I talked to a device tester today and apparently there is something VERY different about the Droid X bootloader. They had VERY specific instructions from Moto that if the bootloader (MBM) didn't match exactly what they required to send the phone back to have the MBM updated. If it wasn't it would corrupt the phone.
Not sure if this is the same as the "eFuse", but should be interesting to see what happens the first time someone tries to mess with the bootloader.

Sorry for any misunderstanding. I dont have anything that works.

I have an X and rooting files(I wont say what they are) ready to go, but you know what? Im not gonna be the first person to try this. Im sure someone out there will take the leap off of the proverbial cliff for us. Lets just hope moto didnt cut that persons parachute strings!

It is a frameless case that uses and adhesive pad to keep the tablet attached. So it won't be loose.

I am amazed at the amount of vague thread titles on all forums, not just xda.
Favorite examples include:
Hey guys! Did you see this?!
What do you guys think about...
This is so awesome!!
Please advice...

I think everyone should start a new thread for every single time they buy an accessory for their Nexus 7.
Then create another thread when the accessory comes in and make another for a unboxing and another for a review.

Good for you for buying a case and letting us know.
I just took a dump while reading xda on my Nexus.

[Q] Custom Roms for MOTO G?

Anyone have any recommendations for custom roms on the Moto G? I have my Moto G rooted, so I'm investigating next steps.
I'm looking for something that provides increased security. Do any of the custom roms help with this? Or, are the custom roms more aimed at GUI customization? I really don't care if the icon is more fancy or a blue color. I really want something that gives me functional improvement.
thanks,
John

There are no real usable Custom ROMs yet, just a few that were put together but don't boot most of the time.

Please try reading a bit more. The same question is just 2 posts below yours and you would have got the answer for your 2nd question about ROM recommendation in that thread itself.

I did read that thread. That post is about 2nd Gen moto G's. Not xt 1032's. Even reading that thread does not give an answer like you suggest it does.
I've found an article on the internet that says there are 5 roms available for gen 1 moto g's and it gives a brief description of each, but as a new member, I was not able to post the link to it. Says I have to post 10 messages first before I am able to post links. However, the article does not give the pros and cons of each rom.

ps.
You may want to rename this forum Gen2 or XT106x.
I purchased my Gen1 in 2014. Wasn't aware that's what folks are calling Gen2.

Yup, you are right but don't know who can change it. I think admin can change that

I see custom Roms have started to appear, but it seems they are mostly for 1068 dual Sim, no love for 1064? How hard is it to port between these 2 models?

No mention of G4 Play on Moto Mobility

I was yesterday scrambling my head cause i couldnt understand why there was no mention of G4 Play on their website. Like https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/country-selector/motog the option are
MOTO G5s Plus - (2017)
MOTO G5s - (2017)
MOTO G Plus 5th Gen. - (2017)
MOTO G 5th Gen. - (2017)
MOTO G Plus 4th Gen. - (2016)
MOTO G 4th Gen. - (2016)
MOTO G Turbo Edition
MOTO G 3rd Gen. - (2015)
MOTO G 2nd Gen. - (2014)
MOTO G - (2013)
no mention of our device.on here also https://www.motorola.in/products/smartphones. I kinda feel terrified about it. Only i found the mention of G4 Play was at Software updates page: https://motorola-mobility-en-in.custhelp.com/app/software-upgrade-news/g_id/2014/action/auth .

You're paranoid, found the product page in both Spain and US sites
https://www.motorola.es/products/moto-g-play

Don't be so alarmist. Neither Lenovo nor moto are that nefarious (except for the whole kernel shenanigans)

After a bit of google i could find their Product page, but the mistake that moto did is that it did not listed the device on the page. Its not something that i am getting paranoid about, i am just stating the facts and asking bluntly your opinion for this mistake.
P.S: Couldn't reply earlier as the thread was closed by the moderators, but he seemed to have reopened it again(thanks for this mod).

It's kind of reasonable that the mods closed this one, it presents unacurate data.
It's just 2 clicks away from the main moto page, I didn't had to google it or nothing, and sorry for the hyperbole, I wasn't trying to be rude.

Moto 'feature' device pages are often incomplete (annoying!). Really depends what gizmos/promo Lenovo is trying to push at the time. Scroll to the bottom and click on appropriate family link. Usually a better choice.

Again, that's the FEATURES list, it's never complete, and always features the latest phones, plus the ones they're pushing based on the categories and markets that they're currently targeting, going to the moto g family page there's our device. this thread is unhelpful.

Agreed; will ask mod to close.
