Droid Life just had a one-on-one with a Verizon LTE engineer who goes by black_man_x. Mr. X had a tweet that I’m still running through my decyphertron 4(G)000, and if it cracks the code I’ll get back to you. If you want to take a whack at it:
Just saw something so incredible that it was almost HD… and LiTE as a feather…
I am fondly reminded of one of my favorite PA comics (NSFWish language).
There isn’t even a leaked picture of this chupacabra phone and I want to drop my carrier and go one.

One of of the best Droid developers in the game, Stephen Bird, recently had a chance to dig into the Droid X system dump and confirmed what many of us had feared. Yes, that’s right, the Droid X is locked down Motorola Milestone style, locked bootloader and all. In fact, it is the same encryption that is locking the Droid X bootloader that is locking the Motorola Milestone bootloader.
So, what exactly does this mean? Well, basically there is a good chance that developers will get root access, but custom ROMs will be damn near impossible. Milestone developers have been hacking the encryption for over 6 months now and have come up with very little. Custom ROMs probably will not happen I am sorry to say.
As depressing news as this is, are you still going to buy the Droid X? Would you buy a phone you couldn’t root?
