Nooooooo!

Oh well. Maybe later a team of super devs will come together and finally crack this case.

Xda has a great thread on this. Unfortunately alias is right. Not a whole lot of people left dedicated to this.....

We can enjoy the likes of tranq, gummy, etc but the dx I don't think will ever have a custom kernel running on anything but dev phones.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a formal call to arms across all sites for this. We can't let them be right when they say it's "unhackable"!

Well there kind of was at first. But the encryption rivals that of banking and goverment sites. It sucks but moto won. On the bootloader they won. Unless moto unlocks it or exposes the flaw to gain access, expect this "success" on every moto product moving forward.

I actually just returned my droid x because I like my Droid 1 better. The minor performance increase over my rooted Droid 1 did not justify the locked bootloader. Motorola's only reason for locking the bootloader is so they can withhold updates encouraging you to buy a new phone sooner. Isn't it odd that the Milestone is on 2.1 when the droid is on 2.2 being they are basically the same phone? It is because the milestone is locked and people can't put custom ROMs on it.

But sadly that's prob what it would take to unlock it. A crime.

I think there are a lot of benefits to the dx over the og. I have both. I don't know why they locked it really besides the kernel and init commands. Bloat has nothing to do with bootloader so that's not it. Maybe you're right. I don't know...

Makes sense. I wish I had my droid 1 back.
