Possible Ways to Crack the Bootloader

[random190user44]

Probably like 95% of people buying smartphones don't know about the locked boot loader, and if they do know they wouldn't care anyways. Most people tend to lose interest rapidly when they hear technical terms like "bootloader".

Have you tried contacting Proud?

Oh, and I eagerly support your work. If you need a retired geneticist, then I might be able to help. Otherwise, I'll just watch in wonder and hope.

I have been in direct contact with him since the beginning of the groubal petition, as well as the CEO of groubal. We have been strategizing ways to spread the message and doing so.

I'm glad you support the initiative,

and yeah! next time I take molecular cell biology class you could be a big help lol. PM me your email. I am all for establishing contacts with experience in the field of my studies. /side note.

PM sent.

And if there is anything I can do to help, I'm game. I love my Droid X. But I resent the locked bootloader. So I'm eager to see or bring about a change.... Or hack.

Thanks for all of your work.

That's my fear, too.

I can upgrade in November, I think. I have a feeling I'll get a Samsung Galaxy S II... unless something better comes along. Plus since it is coming out soon, I suspect the price will drop some by the time November comes around

Motorola is going to push me away if they don't compete on both hardware and openness of the platform. Openness is one of the draws of Android. Why negate any part of that when you are trying to take on the 800lb gorilla that the iphone has become? Use every possible lure that you can. Especially when you also have to compete within the Android market with folks like Samsung, who aren't screwing around.

Stupid Motorola is stupid.

To be honest, if the Galaxy (original) were on vzw last november, I'd have taken that over this dx.

Has there ben any word on the SGSII for US release? I'm eligible in June.

 

[modisch]

The most recent roadmap leaked says May for the SGSII on Verizon.

So... if that holds true, you'll be able to do your happy dance in June.
