Droid X Bootloader is Locked
As we’ve always suspected, Motorola’s looking to apply a nasty (in the eyes of developers like the ones from XDA) trend to their latest handsets, and the Motorola Droid X is no exception. The bootloader’s a necessary component in being able to jump into a phone’s recovery to flash custom ROMs. While root may still be possible (some devices can attain root without having to jump into the bootloader), it would only be good for using some of those root-only applications in the Android market (which isn’t the worst thing in the world.)
Now, only time will tell if the Droid X proves to be as difficult to crack as the Motorola Milestone – the international version of the original Droid which is still being worked on as of today.
