Fun fact: you need to spoof ext3 filesystem headers when reformatting the X or you'll engage certificate checks on /system 11:40 PM Sep 14th via Twitter for Android

Birman's latest updates made it sound like he knows how to do it and has the files, but can't exactly find where they should go. I'm sure he (and others) will figure it out and we MAY have an unlocked bootloader soon.
At that point I'm interested to see how many other kernel devs and customizers jump on the x that previously wrote it off and said they wouldn't be doing anything for it.
@TheRealBeesley *shrug* full docs are now out for everyone to see. all it takes is for someone to cook the update.zip, which is easy.

... right now, the NVRAM is unlocked when a new baseband update is flashed, with recovery or by SBF or whatever. so make your edits in a ... baseband update, boom instant unlock. but since i brought this up, motorola will probably patch that hole too. so whoever publicly releases an update.zip that does the bogus baseband update gets the prize. personally i do not have time or motivation. i should mention: carrier lock is also controlled in nvram. so you can do instant carrier unlock at the same time that you do bootloader.
I am sure birdman was one of those guys
one of his latest tweets was

i have the keys to the car, but the car is lost in the largest parking lot ever & the parking lot is full of cars that look the same.
yea I saw that....Birdman reached out to koush with his most recent tweet so hopefully this gets figured out soon
I sure hope so, but I do truly believe it will happen. Now if at this point no one had made any progress still then I would be worried. Why couldn't of nenolod highlighted what birdman needs That would make it easier

Totally agree with you, he knows exactly "where the car is parked", but is just standing idly by while birdman and many others look for it.

Well the guy sounds like an android hater for one.
How do you follow a conversation on twitter between two people? What a PIA
It almost sounds like Beesly has him talked into doing it but hard to tell from twitter
@nenolod what you are saying about providing support. It takes up a lot of time if you let it. One of us would happy to put it out for you 10:57 AM Sep 17th via web in reply to nenolod

yeah I was in that discussion, its was the great read for droid x users, and no I did not just look at the link he gave
it is also really cool that he looks here, so _mrbirdman_ if you are reading this then I love you
that member, izomiac, always post some really good info. I remember him from the encrypted bootloader thread.

Yes and it lead to so very interesting reading.
I kind of wish these guys would keep this stuff under wraps and make Moto work to figure out what they did. They should be hush hush until they release it. Because once moto knows they can patch it. Maybe they (moto ) will throw in the towel and do like they did with the D1. Claim it was a biz decision.
If there isn't enough of us that do the hack before it's patched I can't imagine lots of devs working too hard for a handful of user.
I hate bots

wait so you don't think alot of users will use or want this
and even if they do patch it we have the sbf, so... we can just flash back and we are fine
There is one way they could do it, but it would still get leaked eventually
I don't want to say it in case Moto is listening

NO I didn't say that but depending on how fast it's patched would possible limit how many get the hack. Are you sure a sbf flash would undo the fix? I'm not. If its that easy then Moto might as well say forget it you won. Then release a statement claiming they unlocked as a business decision and for the users which they so dearly love. Wouldn't that be nice? (Hey I can dream can't I?)
I see you agree with keeping it hush hush ..PM me the method your thinking of will you? We may want to write all our post in secret hidden text to throw them off also. <--secret message not here

yeah, when you flash the sbf it downgrades the bootloder
2.2 is 30.01, it think
2.1 is 26.something

They are different but flashing the sbf doesn't change it, it will stay at 30.01. @wadeivy said that he has downgraded back to 26.xx it but isn't releasing a method until it is actually necessary for something.

oh really...hmm
I swear I saw a tweet by @b16a2smith that said it does downgrade the mbm, maybe he was not talking about the sbf

try what, I have flashed the sbf before, I will try anything though, I wish I knew birdman...I would test anything for him
Yeah but you need to do it again to see if the boot loader is rolled back. If not as soon as its patched everyone that hasn't done the hack (if we ever get one) will be left out.
Never mind though I see OMJ has already done it and confirmed it doesn't.
