We are certainly not surprised about it, but the Atrix 4 G has a locked bootstrapper, courtesy of Motorola.
The average Joe who has no intention of changing their phone, this means very little. However, those who love to install custom Roma and change their handsets have not perhaps isn't as much fun with their new Atrix they want right now.
Motorola has already come and said "buy," If you want to apply the changes to their products, so the locked boot loader shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. In addition, it would step the first time have locked them specific part of a product. We know that the Atrix already enjoy root, which only allows root applications at work, but those who want to install a ROM custom to get Motoblur broadband phones (we don't blame you) is not able to do so with a locked bootloader.
Fortunately for you, Motorola were really a chance to the XDA developers and they have unlocked Droid X - boot loader successfully we can imagine seeing the same fact that Atrix, it just does not happen very soon. While it is legal for rooting, does not mean that the handset maker trying to make it more difficult to modify their products. Motorola, who loves sting them Apple in their advertising campaigns, is slowly the Android Apple with their lockout procedures.
The Atrix bootloader 4 G will be possibly unlocked, but will make room for custom ROM, until then, you're SOL. That said, Atrix 4 G is a beast of a phone and if you enjoy Motoblur you can always download a request for a replacement home Launcher e.g. likeADW That said, we suggest avoiding this combined solely on the fact that the bootloader is locked. It will happen eventually, and you have not noticed any time spent when you see how stupid-fast the Atrix is.
