Alright everyone, so Motorola has started locking the bootloaders on their mobile devices such as the Motorola Milestone, Droid X, and in the future, most likely the Droid 2 and any other upcoming phones. Motorola mobile phones are usually extremely high powered, such as the Droid X with its TI OMAP 3630 Processor clocking in at 1 Ghz and the dedicated graphics chip, the PowerVR SGX 530. Us, as the Android community, have been greatly let down due to the locking/signing of the bootloader, restricting our access to install custom, homemade ROM's for the devices that take use out of the high quality hardware and software. We understand what they are trying to protect by locking the bootloader, but the the Android community is almost fully based off of ROM's, hacks, etc. Sign this petition if you would like Motorola to either unlock the bootloader for us or give us the key to unlock it manually.

    • As a long time Motorola fan and owner of ~50 Motorola phones dating back to the brick, I will be forced to look elsewhere for mobile devices in the future if Motorola continues to needlessly cripple their hardware.

    • We own the devices, not the carriers that distribute them. Please let us get the full use of our product.

    • Motorola, the droid saved you. You know that. It did well because we told people about it. We constantly preached about it to all that we know. Your new phones have great potential but out will never be realized with a locked boot loader. Please reconsider and do the right thing.
