Ice cream and bootloaders and Motorola – oh my!

im glad you guys are doing this. its unfortunate that verizon sucks and locks bootloaders

You guys have the power to put your foot down and tell Verizon “No!” please do so in the future.

Nice to read that, but what about the european Milestone 2 ? Still have an unlockable bootloader, and no Gingerbread ? At least unlock it, some dev will do your work…

what i do not understand is how it is possible to have the galaxy nexus coming to verizon, which is a phone with an unlockable bootloader as well as the xoom, but they supposedly will not allow the unlocking of the razr……can you explain that?

How about a bootloader unlock for the Bionic? BTW, thanks for announcing the Droid Razr and actually plan on releasing it RIGHT AFTER you hyped up the Bionic for almost a year before you released it.

Hopefully, ICS for the Bionic won’t have the reception issues that it has currently. Please hurry and kick out the fix and make sure ICS doesn’t have the same issue. If you don’t mind, could you also make vanilla ICS an option?

when i bought the atrix 4g, i got it becasuse i thought that it would be supported longer because of its superior hardware specs (at the time).
next time i buy a phone i will heavily take into account the dev community behind it. manufacturers cant be relied on, and trust me, it wont be from motorola.

Droid Bionic… Because it make sense, the device is almost perfect to the point that ICS on the device.. is a NO BRAINER.

I cannot see Droid3 on the upgrade list for ICS

Everyone locks their bootloaders but Verizon wants them encrypted? Because their worried about what unlocked bootloaders would do to network security right? Yeah Right. I can’t believe I’m about to say this but at this point AT&T wireless is more open than Verizon. Sack up Motorola, stand up for us and yourselves *************!

well this says nothing about the Atrix gettng the Ice cream sandwhich update o_O

What about atrix 4g we need ics too,it is a bitty for such a device to come to an end now after 8 mounths of release.

Whats wrong with you Motorola. Where’s ICS for the ATRIX?

thats pretty disappointing that Motorola is not going to update the Atrix since it was their flasgship phone when it was released. So i guess its the same deal with the atrix 2 which will get ICS in about six months and then dropped…Samsung and HTC are both looking like the better option for support and updates.

Thanks for checking in about the Motorola XOOM Family Edition. We can confirm that it is one of the devices that will be getting an update to Ice Cream Sandwich. Please visit the Motorola Android Software Upgrade News page (https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades) for the latest information.

We want ICS for ATRIX 4G,we have every right to demand this update.

PHOTON 4G has the hardware with like a maximum requirement, it NEEDS ICS, and be sure to make the USSD code fixed, guys. I mean come on, motorola and google are both divine-like company, love your customers please, unless you guys want us to ignore your products, which eventually impact your sales, and make you guys suffer for bankruptcy.

I’m disappointed there is no ICS for Droid 3…. the Droid 3 only came out a couple months ago, therefore should get the 4.0 update. I dislike this.

Your Android Software Upgrade page lists the Droid X (MB810) at android 2.2, and the 2.3.3 upgrade has been available for it for some time. You guys might want to update that.

Xoom family edition is clearly included to get ICS on the Software Update link above.

I do think Moto should be more like Apple and just release the updates. If Apple can release IOS updates without doing special carrier locked builds, then Moto can too.

It is awful that the Atrix will not get ICS, it needs it now, mind you we had to wait for monthe for Gingerbread, on that level it will take Motorola 2 years to get it out.
I’m like the rest of people, no more Motorola if no ICS.

excuse me but i have some problem with my new phone
number one is the voice command every time i open it
closed after 1 second
number two i installed the asphalt 6 and he told me that this game cannot worked on your device
and the wifi is very weak
finally i want ask you that if i root the device the warranty will cancel or not
i hope you will answer me extremely fast
my phone is motorola droid razr xt910

Had my first motorola in September 1987 and my last in July 2011 (Atrix). Samsung I am coming over.

I would also like to add my voice to the crowd of Atrix owners who will bolt if ICS is not made available.

What about the Atrix 2? It’s only been out for a few months and has the horsepower to run it…

To all you people complaining about software updates, just go for a Nexus device. Also we could bear with Moto as Google will be completing its acquisition by the end of 2012. Who knows what could happen. Moto already has some of the best if not THE best hardware, so if Google decides to take Moto software to the next level as well, it would definitely take them to the top.

So Moto, how about you even dignify yourself with a response about bootloaders instead of blowing off ALL your customers who SPENT 300-700 dollars for one of YOUR products.

Moto, how about U even dignify yourself w/a response about bootloaders instead of blowing off your customers who SPENT $300-700

@Motorola – I’m a faithful Motorola customer, and I’m starting to have second thoughts. Honor what Android stands for, openness, and give us the bootloader unlock tool that you promised “second-half of 2011″. http://moto.ly/icsboot #OPMOSH

how about the Xoom 2 fancy getting that unlocked? would understand if it was a network variant, but this one isnt!

why are the non network branded tablets not unlockable!

Please unlock bootloader for Motorola Razr!!!!!!!

This is not enough for me. I lost $80 when you lied about offering an Android 2.1 upgrade for the Motorola Devour and Dext, even though I didn’t personally own them (fronted money to ordder Sony Ericsson LiveView that requires 2.x; never got update so never got paid). You could unlock the bootloader of every phone you ever make from here on and it would not do me any good if you never update that phone and you never let your willing users do the work, so don’t expect that to be enough to satisfy all potential and past customers.

I worked for years at your Mira Mesa, San Diego offices and I was disgusted at the way you let the carriers boss you around with no consideration for the customers.

To Whom It May Concern,

Motorola, please, we beg of you to hear us out. We bought your devices faithfully, some of us standing in line, some of us saving our hard-earned money for weeks, for months, because we were so excited to get our hands on this shiny new piece of technology, be it the Droid 3, the RAZR, the Droid RAZR, the Bionic, the Atrix 4G… Even the Droid X, Droid 2, Milestone, and other users. We were aching to do the impossible with it – to break records with unparalleled speed, to optimize, to customize. To shun those who didn’t believe in you delivering on your promise to unlock the full potential for your well-constructed devices, Motorola. We’ve been faithfully waiting.

And waiting, and waiting. Until today, when you delivered the announcement of the Motorola RAZR Developer’s Edition. And unfortunately, this is not like the XOOM’s 4G upgrade, where users could send in their already purchased devices – no. This is a completely new device. There is zero compensation or consideration for those of us who already have Motorola-branded phones in our hands.
Motorola…. We Droid RAZR users… We Atrix 4G users… We Droid Bionic users… Even we Droid RAZR MAXX users that got our phones less than a week ago… What about us, Motorola? You gave us your word. It was a tipping decision for a lot of your buyers that purchased the Droid RAZR, to know that we would be a part of history, having the very first Motorola device with an unlockable bootloader. Why did you alienate us? You saw all of our petitions, and this announcement seems a lot like a one-trick pony, something that will start here, not sell well (because we’ve already purchased the exact same phone and aren’t financially able to purchase another), and never happen again. Will there ever be a consumer device that also doubles as a treat for the enthusiasts, like the Transformer Prime? Or any of HTC’s devices? As faithful customers, we’ve been faithfully waiting.

This is like a slap in the face to every buyer of your high-end phones. We very much do appreciate that you’re trying, but this is not the solution you need, or that we need. At least not in its current form. Please put your foot down firmly. If Verizon is causing this, you do have the ability to change it. Nexus devices changed it. HTC changed it.

Honor your core demographic, the Android enthusiasts, and unlock your devices. If not the ones you’ve already released, then all in the future. 2012 is an important year for all of us. Please.

Sincerely,
One of the over 15,000 people represented by the internet petitions listed below.

Please allows devs to work on your phones! Free the bootloaders!

摩托罗拉 – 我是摩托罗拉的忠实顾客，我开始有第二个想法。荣誉，开放的Andr​​oid，给我们的bootloader解锁工具，你答应了“2011年下半年

Please Unlock my Droid Razr bootloader!

This is my 1st and last Motorola device

the truth I was very disappointed with the attitude of Motorola after-sales service as a hardware phone with more than decent for new actualisaciones not going to have only for their mere whim one of the most striking examples is the Motorola Atrix has a hadware more than enough to Ice Cream Sandwich and still are not willing to actualisar one of the best terminals.
like about the Motorola defy is more than demonstrated by the community that works perfectly android 2.3 even 4.0 but you are not willing to actulisar your device and take it instead of another phone with similar features not named equally desir that defy plus practice are exactly the same as the current and defy common and bring him castrated factory and is well known that the 800 mhz are upgradeables quietly up to 1200MHz or even more.
have if left boludear a large market with a terminal envious and do not know to take advantage.
will end as a couple of years with only a small portion of sales and this look instead of hardware as before for bad customer service but what concerns actualisasiones of software and I do not come with it is not possible that this the technical limit because a lie is true that there will be low-end terminals that may do so for that reason but an android GO 2.3 runs at least decent shape with a prosesador to 600 mhz and 256 mb of ram.
also if they say it can not put the interface would be good to see MOTOBLUR to optimize accordingly. that the community does not have to do work that is yours and no one but his own terminal has its success depends entirely on you and not the community.
it is true that Android is free and we are getting much verse with that but the terminals are blocked can not change their software.
PLEASE DO NOT BE THAT BE LOST SALES AND REPUTATION.
says they are a user of a motorola defy thrilled with the terminal and very unhappy with their service actualisacion the terminal.
the terminal up to much more please BATTERIES. that most people do not buy more for how he looks or functionality that gives the time but purchase your warranty service all your attention so that people do this taking into account more often and companies that do not occur CAEN account sooner or later.
a user terminal happy with the dissatisfaction with the service. seriously considering buying another company but better customer service from the face of actualisaciones available for their handsets.
sorry for errors this is translated with google translator.

Liar!!!!!!!!!!!!

please give ICS to Atrix users!!!!!!!!! we deserve it!!!!!

Your consumers may be happy but you will be hard pressed to find and anyone in the know evangelizing your products. We just want what you promised and most would probably even PAY to have their bootloaders unlocked.

I WISH BL unlock

如果你们不解锁bootloader,我认为你moto的android手机用户量将会大大减少，在中国将会有很多人因此而不买moto手机。我相信你们应该知道中国这个市场有多大。我会大力宣传moto的bootloader锁的坏处的。

Unlock all the bootloaders!!!（defy）

希望永远的解锁BL，这样做对你们只有好处，而永远没有坏处，如果你们只有独裁，那么历史会让你们明白什么是灭亡的含义！
中国有一句话“亡羊补牢，尤时未晚”，只要从开始做就永远不会晚，我们仍然会支持你们。
我记得MOTO的历史，手机的系统是你们以前的灭亡的原因，而现在你们仍然虽然有了谷歌的东家，可是如果你们仍然是穿新鞋走老路，那么只能证明谷歌看错人了！

@Motorola – How about those unlocked bootloaders you promised second half of 2011? @HTC cares, do you?

Please unlock de bootloaders !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m a faithful Motorola customer, and I’m starting to have second thoughts. Honor what Android stands for, openness, and give us the bootloader unlock tool that you promised “second-half of 2011″. Unlock all the bootloaders!!

Do the costumers wrong, they wont come back.

My entire life, i’ve loved so much Motorola, I keep faithfull to get a unlockable Bootloader for my Motorola Charm MB502, It’s not the latest o the best, but it’s Great! Fast, a great CPU-GPU-RAM combination, but come on! it could be runnin’ at least Froyo!!! so I ask myself “why should I buy a Xoom, or a newer Motorola device if in just a year there will not be a way to update it!”. So it makes me think that I must star thinking about get another brand! Come on Motorola, You guys are the monsters in the market!!! Stay with users!!! Regards

My first tablet was a motorola xoom 2 eur …. and i’m glad to see, at the day i’m writing, that no bootloader are unlocked… no ics announced… no bootloader unlocked… no… bootloader… making comunity so slow cause the device is locked… so… no bootloader unlock = no more motorola…
I warned my friends… this was mi first motorola device… this will be the once!

unlock BL for Defy !
