Motorola's bootloader program took a lot of time to arrive after it was first discussed; however, when it finally arrived, the manufacturer stated that the unlocked devices won't support previously-released hardware. Now, per reports, the company has added a few more handsets to the program with bootloader access for customers in the U.S. and worldwide.
The newest devices to be included in the already growing list from Motorola include the RAZR HD and RAZR i. As far as the global edition of the devices is concerned, while the RAZR HD unlocked edition will be working in Europe, Australia, South America, and on Rogers in Canada, the RAZR i, along with its Intel processor, will be unlockable "worldwide."
However, in the U.S., customers who are on carrier Verizon will have to be satisfied with the Developer Editions of Droid RAZR HD and RAZR M, unless they want to work with a separate custom ROM. Nonetheless, irrespective of which part of the world the customer is located in, the bootloader edition of the devices will work without any major problems.
The list of devices, as of now, include Photon Q 4G LTE on Sprint, DROID RAZR M(Developer Edition) and DROID RAZR HD(Developer Edition CDMA-LTE) for Verizon, MOTOROLA RAZR HD (Rest of World -UMTS/LTE) for Europe, Latin America, and Australia, MOTOROLA RAZR HD (Rogers Canada - UMTS/LTE) for Rogers Canada, and MOTOROLA RAZR i for worldwide.
Interested users need to note that the RAZR i, that has been built in with the Intel-developed SoC, will not be available on Verizon and, therefore, there will be no Developer Edition. However, owners shouldn't find any difficulty in unlocking the device with a custom ROM that is easily available on then.
The new list of unlocked bootloaders has arrived after Motorola released the Developer Edition of RAZR M last month. Both Motorola and Google confirmed yhr device.
At the time, the company stated that the "device comes packed with all the same features and specs as the DROID RAZR M while also offering the infinite customization possibilities offered by an unlockable bootloader."
