I personally have a Motorola Atrix 4G (the phone that I use on a regular basis not just for playing with) and its by far my favorite of the current devices. It has superior, well everything at this point. There are many other phones coming out this year that will give it a run for its money but Motorola and AT&T have restricted this phones full potential.
From what we have read unlocking the Atrix’s bootloader has been in the works since before the phone was released and many attempts have been unsuccessful until kholk (an XDA Developer, has found a way to bypass it.
Kholk named his unlocking project the Eternity Project. He used “Kexec”, “a mechanism of the Linux kernel that allows booting of a new kernel over the currently running one”, to bypass the Atrix’s bootloader. Kholk claims that he still has to create an actual kernel that is compatible with kexec.
If you have a Motorola Atrix this project will be important to you. Once this is all figured out it will allow users to flash custom ROMs to your phone which will unlock all the features that Motorola and AT&T have restricted thus far. There is still work to do on the Eternity project as Kholk is in need of help from the Android community developers to work on a bootable kernel from kexec.
We will keep up with the Eternity Project and keep this article updated to show any progress so come back and check it our periodically. If you are interested in helping with this project visit Kholks website at: http://www.droidmatters.com/
