Droid X -Potentially unmoddable

[kcy29581]

If this is true, then Motorola do not like us modding their phones, or someone else is pulling the strings...

Droid X actually self-destructs if you try to mod it

"If the eFuse failes to verify this information then the eFuse receives a command to “blow the fuse” or “trip the fuse”. This results in the booting process becoming corrupted and resulting in a permanent bricking of the Phone. This FailSafe is activated anytime the bootloader is tampered with or any of the above three parts of the phone has been tampered with."

My apologies. I searched for "efuse droid X" and did not see results.

If an admin would like to close this, please feel free.

Not to worry, for every measure, there is a counter-measure.

The thing to do is go after the efuse first, and disabled that and all else is possible.

Motorola took this a bit too far if you ask me...

according to this article at Droiddog, if you look at the update at the bottom. Motorola has confirmed that "e-fues" tripping from a tampered boot loader is nothing more than a rumor
