I feel very useless, but I can't keep quiet not saying thank you for what you're trying to do! It'd be amazing to have at least froyo on our tiny monster

i work in this and work on other project of moto filp out
fu** moto bootloader i hate it

other files?
Is it possible to extract all the files from the rom, and overwrite what we have directly, then we'd have 2.2 except for the boot process/kernel...
Something similar was done for the milestone, I think.

i am now success in flash a kernel which have low energy & high performance & get full access to system file read & write but when i replace the files with froyo 2.2 the phone is still on moto logo small thing is missed i try to port if any devolper help us i would be greatfull

Man, if you can make Froyo happen on the FlipOut, that'd be awesome. I'm definitely buying one, if it supports Froyo They're becoming quite cheap, here in Italy

OT: how much cheap? My boss has one and I was thinking about making a FroYo/GingerBread ROM for it, but I don't want to fry his phone in the process
BTW, tech info hour: Motorola has released (a looong time ago) a set of files needed to compile Android for the FlipOut (and many other phones). This is the homepage.
The very first step should be to compile Eclair and give it a try on a real device. I don't know if MotoBlur is present (I hope it isn't...), but if the ROM works, the next step is to switch to the FroYo branch, compile again, fix what's broken, test on a real device, move to Gingerbread and so on. FroYo and GingerBread have differencies in the USB-SD handling, so it's highly likely that some changes to the kernel will be required. I don't know much about changes between Eclair and FroYo which affected kernel stuff.

I replied to you by msg

Gingerbread for Flipout?? That'd be nice. BTW the Flipout would be nice OCd too, it's processor can handle it (it's not a low powered phone, really)

Yes, a looong time ago. But they are useless, because you can't flash them. The bootloader is locked, and motorola won't release the key.

I think I saw a modified Clockwork Recovery for the FLIPOUT, with a comment that it could not mount the filesystems, but it could flash update.zip files. ATM I can't find it, though.

MOTO CLIQ has been rooted! (confirmed) read more>>

we have now had a few users out there who have rooted their Cliq, and apparently there are a few ways of going about the process. the link below will take you to theDudes post, and im sure you will find other individuals with other methods if you search through the thread.
good luck to all who wish to root, and happy holidays to all!
_________________________________________________________________
As i do not have a moto cliq in my possession i would not be able to tell you if this is true or not. but to any users out there that DO have access to a Cliq, and are willing to test this. (just in case someone out there hadnt seen it)
Motorola CLIQ Rooted for Full Android Access http://bit.ly/4Y9uLs
(dont hate me, i caught this on a livesearch of android, the info was RT'd by
{@TaimurAsad} if you would like to RT it yourself, please do.)
i would like to hear if this works out. seeing as how the last moto cliq forum was closed.
For italian people I've translated the guide ;-)
http://www.tuttoandroid.net/guide/guida-root-per-il-motorola-cliq-3192/
Its true. I have a Cliq and I rooted it last night. There are two methods to root. One is by Demoshadow and one is by TheDudesAndroid. Both seem to be based on the same idea. They came out about the same time. TheDudesAndroid is actually a little easier to do and the files can be downloaded faster. You posted TheDudes version here. Here is Demoshadows verison just to be fair. Demoshadow's Root
Wonderful news for CLIQ users, I hope milestone will get rooted soon
Yah, its true, and apparently it will work with the Dext as well. Its STILL very raw though. And could possibly brick your phone. May be best to wait a a few days for it to be cleaned up and tested more. Still some risk with it. No flashable update.zip as of yet. Also, they are working on porting Cyanogen's Rom to the cliq and a Nexus One rom. And someone got the NexusOne boot screen running on it.
awesome, so its official. now we just wait for the genius' in the android community to "fancify" it, as they always do. props to all who tried this, and thanks for giving us a 100% positive answer.
does this also mean someone can port motoblur to the g1/mytouch easier?

This root proccess is different from what we are used to. I actualy rooted mine last night. Spent some time following the M3 forum for awhile and it was no easy task. If we were all "genius'" here why weren't we able to do it? I'm not trying to bash but we need to work together on this and not make anyone feel inferior.

The root process is quite different - and I think that there is a lot to learn from the original thread http://modmymoto.com/forums/showthread.php?t=525915&page=35 starting ~page 35.
The method to flash a custom image was put together by Skrilax_CZ and was the crucial breakthrough for the device. TheDude got 'su' working.

Well,once their is some roms ported/made for the CLIQ ,I think,with the right people,may pass the G1 in terms of roms/hacks.
Got root on my cliq
I followed The Dudes version and had no issues at all getting root. It only took me about 20 mins. I can't wait to see where this goes next. Love the cliq been waiting for root!!
So far everything works for me the same as before no FCs no apps not installing or running.

hey after you root the cliq does it still have motoblur?

cant open rsd lite for some reason
I am running 32-bit windows xp and i downloaded rsd lite v4.5.7 .msi but when i try to run it on my pc it just opens a title bar that says "rsd lite" nothing else shows up. No option to install at all. A little help would be appreciated. Im kinda a noob at this. I work for tmobile and im so tired of the original os on my cliq, too many bugs. Thanks for the help.
kinda got an issue here, i rooted the cliq and everything worked fine following the dude's method, but the deal is that i did user metamorph ad basically screwed the phone, not sure if the theme fails or something, i'm currently unable to flash the phone with rdslite, i was trying to update or flash via update.zip or reseting to factory from the default recovery.img but no look :S..... and ye i know, no nandroid backup installed that's my bad
update firmware, OS to froyo for moto cliq
Hi good afternoon, i would like to know something about the upgrade of the moto cliq whit 1.5 to 1.6 or froyo 2.2, please somebody. Help me with that. Thanks in advance.

G1 1.6 official firmware

I have a question I've been trying to resolve looking through the threads and have been unable:
I have a g1 that's rooted running android 1.5, and from what I can tell its either on the official t-mobile firmware or the developers firmware... I want to upgrade to android 1.6 mostly just for the text to voice and the voice navigation in google maps. I don't really want to load custom roms though... Is there anyway to load into android 1.6 and keep root, but have everything else the standard firmware?
developer.htc.com/adp.html
You can grab the official ADP1v1.6 firmware and write that to your device for a stock-but-root system image. (note: stupid people will tell you that it doesn't have root. They are incorrect, it most definitely DOES.)

It just gives the impression of not having root by flashing the stock recovery (which many people consider root for some reason)
oh lovely, after following those steps. The radio went fine the phone rebooted fine, but after the recovery image, the phone hangs on the android screen for a long time, and then pops up with continues force close error messages. I also can no longer boot into recovery it gives me a picture of a phone with an exclamation point.
Anyone have any ideas?
oh n/m. That exclamation point screen was in fact the recovery screen, it was different before i installed this. I formatted the memory card and wiped the data, and that seemed to do the trick, I'm up and running in 1.6 developers build. thanks guys =-)
Yeah, when I read your previous message I was about to suggest that...
Newbie-ish question
Hey all,
I know this sound a bit amateur, but I was just wondering if it were possible to flash the same G1 Dev Rom onto my Rogers HTC Dream running the newest "perfect" firmware. I would imagine that the HTC one is officially signed so the phone wouldn't have any trouble accepting this...can anyone confirm? I just wanted to make sure before I go ahead and do anything as I'm new to the whole Android thing. Thanks!

You're right. You're definitely an amateur
1) There is *no such thing* as a "G1 Dev". There is an "Android Dev Phone 1" (aka "ADP1"). G1 and ADP1 are both HTC DREAM, as is the thing that was sold by robbers (although the robbers-crippled dream has some minor differences).
2) Though signed, it still won't write onto your phone since it is signed with a DIFFERENT SIGNATURE.
3) If you *did* manage to write it, you would be effectively bricked since the ADP1 kernel won't boot on the robbers-crippled-dream. At this point, it *might* be possible to write the same firmware that you already have on it again to fix the brick, but since nobody has gotten to this stage, it is unknown.
Haha glad I didn't go ahead and do anything stupid, then! Thanks for enlightening me!
Cheers

Don't worry, because of the incorrect signature, you couldn't have hurt it even if you tried.

[Q] Original FROYO 2.2 from Google

I have original Google FROYO fw. I'm interesting of flashing it to My Samsung Galaxy 3, so I have some questions:
- Is it possible to flash original Google FROYO firmware to out Apollo?
- If it is possible is it can be done with ODIN?
Thanx in forward for Your answers people
Nop, you can't flash a Stock Android Firmware. You can try to replace Touchwiz apps with stock apps, but it's not really easy.
So I can brick My phone if I flash stock Android?

each telephone has it's own hardware (display, processor etc..) Fw doesn't contains only the operating system but also drivers for i5800. Each telephone has different hardware which means diferent drivers. You can port android or anything from one device to another, but you must make it work with drivers for your device. And that's just a part of it. Don't forget about storage and RAM capacity. May be one day we will have ported Android 3.0 for i5800 - it will be possible but just parcialy - not 1:1
Is here some cook for i5800 who can make our device more stable and make it work ext2 partition for SD ? Or port A 2.3.1 ?
Would be nice
I saw HTC HD2 Win7 phone with stock Android 2.2 on it. So I wonder is it possible for Us to do it...
i don't know how that man do it but i saw it. He make something like boot loader and when He restart his HTC He can chose between Win7 and Android to boot.
Definately we can port it with modified kernals its lik mac on assembled non apple pc but for that we need a boot loader cracked first which is quite not possile for now as no 1 likes to play with there nands and partial bad boot loader means new flash rom and other equipments to mount it.

There you go, the leaked signed Chinese GB Rom

Disclaimer: I won't be responsible for any damage done to your phone due to flashing this rom.
I have just returned home after a day of tiring work. Grabbed this stuff from the Chinese forum and uploaded it to mediafire (It took quite a while as I am using ADSL) .Phone is charging and I'll try to flash right after it's fully charged. Screenshots are all around that forum though so I guess it would be safe to give it a shot. Enjoy, guys!
Note:
1. It is said to have quite a number of bugs.
2. Can't access recovery mode. Edit: it is possible but the key combination changed. You press "vol up+vol down" INSTEAD OF "@" after getting the yellow exclamation sign.
3. Old drill, no Google stuffs pre-installed.
4. Downgradeable to Froyo.
http://www.mediafire.com/?7bwfc0qvqs428k3
Edit:
I flashed and it boots.
1. Multitouch bug gone and the screen is way more responsive.
2. Yeah 2.3 old TV lock screen animation.
3. New window transition animation.
4. Attempted to root with SuperOneClick 1.7... failed.
5. Seems getting no luck with Gingrebreak neither...
6. I'm going back to uk 2.2.2 since without Google Services I can't live LOL... good luck guys
7. Successfully go back to froyo (damn i miss the red moto logo). Have fun with GB guys
Thanks a lot!!
Downloading now. But speed slow today on my internet. Will let u know if it works.
Flashing it right now, wish me luck
looking forward to your progress
It boots!! It boots!!!

good to hear this
just some questions,
do I need to wipe data before/after flashing the sbf? or everything works fine without a wipe? since you mentioned this ROM cannot be rooted (maybe yet xd), so it would be unable to use titanium backup to restore my apps
and could this be downgradable to 2.2.2 if i flashed the old sbf again? =]
thanks =D

well i came from uk 2.2.2 rooted without wipe, and it works without major problems. right now i'm trying to root with gingerbreak, if i still got no luck then i think i would go back 2.2.2 (painful decision as this leaked GB is so great) since without google service i cant get my contacts, schedules back.
DON'T FLASH IT YET!
You may get stuck in a non-rootable/non-downgradable rom
I will wait for the fixed SBF + nandroid backup.

Anybody could write a "how-to upgrade to 2.3" ?
Does this chinese GB leak supports accents in messages ?
Is it non-downgradeable? That kinda uhm... sucks... as I already started the flashing. Let's just wish for the best.

Milestone X - C-Spire: Custom ROMS? Droid X Bootstrapper Working

Anyone with luck flashing a Milestone X w/ a custom ROM?
Running Rooted 2.3.5 w/bloatware removed (but backed up) along w/ DROID X Bootstrapper.
Have made my first full system backup using this tool.
If complete ROMS could not be used, what components would I need to modify, replace, ... exchange to get it to work on C-Spire (say, Verizon).
I've heard that there are some ROMS that don't mess with the baseband and other communications settings, files, frequencies, protocol, etc... What are these type called if they exist? Where can I find them? Are these a safer alternative to full ROMS?
Will DX Bootstrapper get the job done? Reports ClockworkMod REcovery v2.5.0.6.
I would recommend staying off custom roms for the Milestone X until a working sbf for us makes an appearance. Myself and ngholson both had issues where we got stuck in a bootloop and the sbf just output more errors until a replacement device was needed.

agreed. [10chars...............
another thing to consider, since we cannot sbf at this time, is that the bootstrapper will break your ability to install any future ota updates. it modifies the logwrapper and makes a copy called logwrapper.bin, however, uninstalling the bootstrapper and restoring the logwrapper file does not correct the problem. best i can tell the only answer that i can find when this happens is to sbf back to stock... well you see where this is going.... currently we cannot do this, so unless you never want the ota upgrades i do not recommend installing the bootstrapper on cspire's milestone x.
oh well nevermind went back and re-read your post, you already have the bootstrapper installed. (at least you did it after ota)
here is a link to the post that has the sbf that is reported to work with cell south (cspire) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117885
maybe someone else can try it again and report back.

I can confirm that the old sbf it does not work after ota update. I had to get a new phone. I have rooted, but I am not installing a bootstrapper until a working sbf is available. Hopefully that will happen soon.
I am on C spire out of Byram, MS and can in fact confirm that "Droid X Bootstrapper" from the market indeed works like a charm on the Milestone X with stock versions 2.2.2 and 2.3.5.
I use "Super One Click" to root, then the same prog to "Allow non market apps" then buy "Droid X Bootstrapper" from market, run it. Reboot while holding camera button and power button,,,,voila
Confirmed roms that I have and currently run or ran: CM 7 nightlies, Liberty 1.5, and Fission 2.5.7 DroidX
---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------
A little trick I figured out to sbf back to stock,,,,download the latest ota from Cspire "Blur_Version.3.2.6.MB809.ACG-CellSouth.en.US" blah blah,,,,,rename it to "update.zip",,,,not "update.zip.zip"put it on the root of your sd card and boot into stock recovery or clockwork mod and run update.......BLAM!

A little trick I figured out to sbf back to stock,,,,download the latest ota from Cspire "Blur_Version.3.2.6.MB809.ACG-CellSouth.en.US" blah blah,,,,,rename it to "update.zip",,,,not "update.zip.zip"put it on the root of your sd card and boot into stock recovery or clockwork mod and run update.......BLAM! Simple as that...

i tried that too it didn't work for me.
I dunno,,,, it worked for me twice. I tried to update cwm from the app using the flash for droid x and it messed up my recovery. So i updated to the latest ota from Cspire via the stock android recovery by naming the ota file to update.zip and running it like that.
I'm running CM7 nightlies for the droid x on the Milestone x....you might have to remove the line of code in the update file that asked for Kernel assert,,,,I can't remember, but seems like it kept giving me an error that says, "assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel") but after that all was fine.

what has been the best in your opinion? i just upgraded from the hero and was running aosp and loved it.
i actually like some of the blur apps, hard to believe that i like a custom ui on android lol.
i have been reading on the droid x vs milestone x and i am weary of flashing update that also includes the radio/baseband.
what version of cm7 nightfiles are you on? any complaints?

I am getting the exact same error. Where do I need to go to eliminate this line of code. I have setup everything else up until this point and it works perfectly with recovery and everything. A bit of help please.

Open the ROM zip and go: META-INF/com/google/android/ and in the updater-script, remove the code that asked for Kernel assert.

I too just upgraded from the Hero....and I still love that phone! My hero has had every rom known on it,,,and some that weren't even made for it....It's unbrickable! LOL
Yea, the Milestone is a little more finicky than the Hero, and with Motorola's locked bootloaders, one could get in a fix..
I've ran the past 3 nightlies and currently on cm_shadow_full-154.zip.
I tell ya, they all have some kind of bug somewhere. It all depends on what you want to put up with. Me, personally, I like the stock ota 2.3.5 from Cspire. It works. Plain and simple. Now, I would like some of the CM7 options and spare parts.

Open the updater-script with notepad (new to this) and found no mention of kernel assert. Almost there...a bit more help would get me in.
It should be the top 3 lines, if I remember correctly.... I checked it out on my phone to make sure but,,,, duh, I already removed it (face palm).
It's in there somewhere.
Run install again and right down all the errors... Then try to find them in the script file.
I'm new to this also (as far as motorola stuff) too. And I take risks that most people wouldn't..... Hell, if I mess something up bad enough , just sbf back.
I'll try to help you more when I get off work... Maybe send you my roms that have already been fixed.
Make sure to turn off script and signature asserts off in cwm... Sometimes that helps.

I despised that phone lol, wait i take that back, i guess i had "phone" envy lol Mine was a rom whore as well, it was rooted almost immediately after i got it with the ole gold card method.
the ota 2.3.5 is actually a good CLEAN rom, i do like the fact that it is so clean, just need a few tweaks as you said from the cm7 build, status bar tweaks ect..
may build up one.
built a rom for a tablet we are selling here, BIG learning curve but the locked boot-loader throws a real curve ball
now, have you gotten it to overclock?

that still amazes me. i haven't tried it on 2.3.5, but when i did it from stock 2.2.2 it was a no go.... maybe it will only work if you are already on 2.3? hell i dunno... motorola has me chasing my tail.... like everyone else, i came from the hero too, that was one awesome little phone. i read somewhere that the motorola bootloader had been cracked by someone on here but..... not sure what ever happened there.....
