If you have the luck to have a RAZR that says "Device is Unlocked - Status Code 1", DON'T MESS WITH IT!

Being unlocked will enable you to do great things with your phone, but you will need to do it with great care, as it's been reported that it can be relocked!

Sooo, you should take the following precautions:

- DO NOT flash "fastboot files" using RSD Lite

- DO NOT flash mbm_signed, cdt_signed, ebr_signed manually using fastboot or moto-fastboot.

- DO NOT flash OTA that you could receive on your phone, as again they will probably flash one of the above partitions.


What you CAN do safely:

- use fastboot (moto-fastboot.exe) to flash manually:
- boot_signed
- recovery_signed

- system_signed
- webtop_signed
- cdrom_signed
- radio.img
- devtree_signed
- logo.bin

- flash using fastboot any custom kernel & recovery

- flash any custom rom that won't flash mbr, cdt, ebr (so again NO OTA)

You are saying you can flash boot_signed? I would think that would ruin it o_o

I confirm, you can flash boot_signed. Boot is the kernel, not the bootloader. I believe mbr to be the BL. Not sure about the effect of cdt and ebr, so I flag them as not being safe.
