Why is there fear? There's a sticky in this forum with a proven unbrick method (actually a couple...one using RSD and the other a virtual one-click bat file)I do! Overclocking, more rom support/options, and the greater reduction of fear when it comes to messing around with the phone all around.
Glad to hear the overclock module is being worked on. I was wondering about that. I know the bootloader doesn't prevent it, but everyone seems to think it does.DRod2169 said:Overclock module is being worked on, so there's that. The only difference is no custom kernels and no true custom recovery. 2nd init covers aosp
Because Motorola will inevitably abandon the Droid 3 and we will be stuck on 2.3.Don't count on it. We already have 2nd-init though... CM7, MIUI, etc are all on the way so who gives a shit.
Then why are Samsung and HTC phones unlocked? The only HTC phone that has been locked was the Thunderbolt AFAIK. After that and some public outcry, HTC said they'd never do that again. If Motorola really wanted to have unlocked phones on VZW, they would.Yeah, this is all Big Red. I'm still kinda surprised they are going to put the Nexus on their network (although I'm sure it has to do with the amount of $ they can bank). And, the only reason it'll be unlocked is the whole "Band C" deal (article here), otherwise, they'd want it locked too.
To your point…the Droid 4 has just been spotted…it's going LTE, and got a design change. Moto just doesn't quit, lol.ThisIsMyName said:Because Motorola will inevitably abandon the Droid 3 and we will be stuck on 2.3.
