I just read that motorola is locking the leakers out of the official update. Now, is this even a trivial matter. Can't you just downgrade to 2.1 and then upgrade to the ota.

Yeah man, what you read is true. Good ole' Moto has decided to block us out. Luckily we can always downgrade and then OTA.
All I need is someone to post a video on how to do this. Step by Step like am a complete noob with no idea of what is going on. Anyone up for the challenge?
wouldn't you just use rsd lite and flash the sbf back to stock. Also what if this is a trap set up by motorola to get people back on their software. Im thinking...since motorola is so shady, anyway....that its just a little fishy. After the eris leak, i think a lot of people are pretty certain on a way out before they flash something. You would think that motorola would know this as well....im just sayin'
You have to sbf your device.. After that it still wont boot, so once your done sbf"ing you go into the factory recovery and do a reset, good to go

I would love it if you would write a guide detailing what the hell you just said. I have no idea what SBF is. Haha I know, I know. There are guides but I am sure there is more than one person who knows little about this and would like something step by step to follow.
To be honest, verizons networks check the build number of your device in order to see if you need the update or not depending on what version you run. I'm sure verizon could already of went through the list ahead of time and if it saw a mismatching build number to what its suppose to have, it could just block our phones ID from receiving OTAs

Thought I'd add the link from engadget.

I totally love my X, but Motorola's over-the-top hostility towards the modding community is starting to wear on me. I know that they could give two ****s about having me as a customer, but I am considering moving on to a Fascinate.

has verizon done this with a previous phone? I put a custom rom on a droid1 and then took it back to stock 2.0.1 and then upgraded ota. I was just wondering if verizon has done this to any of their phones before
deleted this post
Just found this from AndroidLive:
The Motorola Support Forums mentioned the following today…
"WARNING: Do NOT load the leaked 2.2 upgrade that has been floating around on the Internets. There is currently no upgrade path from that load to the official 2.2 load that will be released by early September. Unless you have some plan to flash your phone back to the current official load, you could be stuck on the leaked version."
So obviously we will in fact be able to flash back to 2.1 to get the official upgrade if we wish
MOTOROLA SUCKS!!! How can a cell phone company near the brink of destruction come back and act like they are a big deal. I should have waited for the epic and moved to sprint. I might just sell my x and get the samsung tab when it comes out and use a regular cell phone again.
"has verizon done this with a previous phone? I put a custom rom on a droid1 and then took it back to stock 2.0.1 and then upgraded ota. I was just wondering if verizon has done this to any of their phones before"
The X is the 3rd android model i've owned on verizon, and i've never seen them do that.

Even if we did get blocked out (I doubt it, besides there is always a way around) why bother yourself too much with it. Those of us who loaded the leaked version obviously didn't have a problem with using leaked software. We will just load the future versions when they are leaked...

In response to the needing directions...look up "Droid X SBF File released" on these forums to find them. I would link it for you but I can't post links yet and I also don't want to just post the directions as if I was taking credit for them.
How does this even matter? There's a few ROMs in the works and we have custom recovery up and running. There will undoubtedly be a "vanilla" ROM coming out soon enough, and once that stuff hits, are you really gonna be like "OH NOES I NEED TO INSTALL THE STOCK OTA UPDATE!"? No, you're not. On top of that, worst case scenario: you just SBF flash and then install the OTA updates. "Problem" solved.
This strange, its probably the same build. Therefore no ota lol. Just a thought.

Like some here, I could care less knowing that it will come full of bloatware and blur... which no one likes. Oh, and that we will be getting even better firmware from folks like Birdman and p3Droid
MOTOROLA- YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF for letting such good hardware be sold with such an unusable UI.
When I flash stock and blur is running with all of its widgets up the yin-yang, I can't hardly imagine it is the same phone as to what I, and others, have made the phone what it could be.
I almost feel embarrassed to state I am a X owner when I am not talking to a fellow android user and they know nothing of the phone other than what they saw in the store=CRAP.
Out of all of us who want custom ROMs and made the effort to flash the leaked Froyo build who really cares if Moto blocks us out. Fact is we rooted our phoens and wanted Froyo so we did what needed to be done. To further add most of us I'm sure are removing all there crap bloatware to begin with. Bottom line IMO is piss on the Moto/VZW update. If it is anything like what was relesased on the phone it will be garbage and we don't want it anyways.
And as mentioned if people really want the OTA update not a big deal to SBF flash the .604 2.1 file and yo uwill be fine to get the update. Oh and for everyone reference the leaked Froyo build we have is NOT the official OTA update there is at least one or 2 newer builds already.
If you guys hold off on the 2.2 OTA, ill have a pre-rooted .zip to install (will work no matter what version your on )

I am talking about with the bootloader, not rooting.
But I lied I couldn't wait.
I SBF'd from LEAKED 2.2 to 2.1 (DONT GO FROM OTA TO 2.1 you will get hozed).
then OTA'd to 2.2
rooted.
Installed Superuser, updated SU.
Deodexed
Installed 3 Apps (Bootstrapper, Rom manager and TBH's app)
Installed Red spinning android bootimage
Installed Big Droid X Serenity Red
Applied Bootstrap
Applied ClockWork from inside Rom Manager
Backed up
So far thats as "brave" as I have gotten. I am more worried about his tweet that Moto updated the bootloader though then anything. Hate to see it affect things like Obsidian roms progress.
I doubt it'll hamper efforts all that much. They changed keys, that's all. I'll bet koush and others will bring us a 2.2 sbf and then things will be back up and running with the ROMs running the updated keys.
I will update as soon as birdman releases his update.zip, I almost took the plunge last night until I saw his tweet. A couple questions though:
1. I have removed bloatware, altered build.prop, and themed, does that need to be undone before updating?
2. For this that have taken the plunge already are the bugs from the leaked 2.2 fixed (SMS time stamp, battery usage force closing, upload problems, etc)?
You're going to have to be back to 2.1u1 and unrooted. I'm assuming that includes having your bloatware back as well, but if you're willing to be daring then go ahead and try it without the bloatware. Maybe the push will restore that anyway and you can just remove it again after you regain root.
I'm going to just bide my time. Tranquility 2.3.5rc + Serenity + 2.3.15 is VERY snappy by itself so I'm quite happy with that.

According to his tweet it will work upgrading from any version of 2.2, so I know I will not have to go back to 2.1
I hope they changed the boot loader on the 2.2 update for the X. Push back the progress. Yay, encrypted bootloader!

Let me explain my further reasoning of my actions. I am an android fan. Everything we want android has, that's why we like it. When motorola applied the encrypted bootloader that was one thing closer to something we don't like. Control and the lack of customization. If i wanted to be tied down to a firmware I would of gone to the iphone. Were not ever going to get pass the encrypted bootloader no full kernal port will ever come close. Changing files .apk names does not mean a full port your still using native apps. As android users we should of boycotted this product. I would love to have seen the same fate as the droid 2 - discontinued! The X is a disappoint and as android user we should of let this one pass over. The screen is ugly compared to the super amoled and the way I see it that's the main selling point on the X. So why wouldn't you switch to a better quality screen that'd only .3 inch smaller. Camera on the X is horrible for its 8 megapixel. Dual antenna is a gimmick, think about it, if you can't pick up signal with one antenna that's 2 inches away then your not going to pick sig on the other one. Point is android is a open source, motorola is closing the doors, instead of embracing and focusing development on this phone we should of directed toward another device.

That doesn't help those of us who have this phone and don't have the $ to upgrade before our two years is up.
2.3.15 is available on the tbh app and should soon be available to the public. Serenity is available HERE on xda in the mods section.

Not to mention that the Droid x is hardly a gimmick and we'll get around that bootloader soon. Great phone that is already quite nice out of the box (sans blurware).

BACK on topic....
Every one see the birds tweets this morning, any one that applied the ota can never go back to 2.1. YOU WILL BRICK!
so if you hose something and cant get into recovery your stuck till the 2.2 sbf is leaked.
Im sooooooo glad i only applied the leaked .15
sorry to those that did, I would suggest not getting to ballzy in modding

when you say 2.3.15, are you talking about the rooted and deodexed "upgrade.zip" or do you mean the SBF file of it?
I thought the "upgrade.zip" was available last Sunday in their app... and was already posted to the public on MDW on like Monday or yesterday.
If the 2.3.15 SBF, that would be GREAT news.
The Bravo is Bricked! I rooted it, got board, tried to install custom ROM through a Droid method (REALLY STUPID OF ME!!), and now my phone is stuck in boot loops. It goes into recovery and all, bootloader too, so I fugured I could just flash an sbf with RSD and get it back running again. The only problem is I can't find an sbf file for this phone ANYWHERE and it's driving me crazy!! So if anyone has any information on where you could find an sbf file for this phone or when it would maybe be available I would love it
Thanks
Unfortunately,
Since AT&T is the only carrier that has this phone, you will have to wait until an upgrade is released from AT&T
And it would have to be a major update such as 2.1 -> 2.2 where the SBF is available.
You could always try calling AT&T and see what they can do for you in terms of warranty....long shot
So, no?
Come on, I have got 400 viewers of this thread, nobody has any ideas?
Yea dude I have been wating for the same thing. I have been pretty hesitant to do any major modding to my bravo until I know I can get it back from the grave should I do anything to totally mess it up. Is there no way to get what we need untill an update is released for the phone. I am pretty new to android having previously being a jailbroken Iphone user for years, but is there no way to get what we need from the bravo somewhere in its file system. Like I said i am still learning the different aspects of modding android so if anyone does know a solution, I'm all ears. Thanks.
Haha
Yea, got a little to crazy with it. It's because I realized it's potential, and noticed at had roughly the same specs as the Droid X, not thinking I ran the Bootstrap thing that allows custom recovery, so I could use an awesome custom rom, and it died. I mean I could completely recover it, it goes to the bootloader and the recovery, but hey I think were in luck, 2.2 for this things coming 1st Q 2011, and it'l be floating around somewhere, someone will grab it.
Awesome news. thanks for the heads up.
hey, where did you hear that it was getting updated to 2.2 in Q1? I can't find any news about that on the web, although it'd make me really happy...
I feel bravo is the loneliest phone in the world.
I also haven't seen anything about a 2.2 upgrade. Checked the Motorola upgrade site and they don't show anything in any quarter of any year regarding upgrading to 2.2. Could be a pipe dream.
Have you tried Super One Click or z4root to see if you can recover your system.
may be because the Motoglam (similar if not almost identical to the Bravo) is getting an upgrade in Asia where someone thought that the Bravo is getting the upgrade... I hope it does, would be nice for it to happen...

It's not similar at all.
Motoglam -> TI OMAP3430 (500 Mhz)
Bravo -> TI OMAP3610 (800 Mhz)
And similar doesn't mean that much, the Defy is 99% identical with only the addition of a flash and a search button on the face plate, but some of the things that can be done with modifying the defy can't be done (yet) on the Bravo.
Now the other major difference in he Defy and Bravo is that the Defy is is a non US phone, looks like mostly EU.
From what I can see here http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/Software_Update_Landing_Page?vgnextoid=69fd5fc943dc0210VgnVCM1000008806b00aRCRD so far there are no plans for updates.
2.2 sbf..
ay killa...don't know if you knew this or not but there's a 2.2 SBF out now through Bandroidx. Works straight through Bootloader and RSD. Pretty automatic. Flash is sweet too.
.. after foolishly trying to apply a Metamorph theme that was meant for the Motorola Defy. It was the Gingerbread theme for the Defy that did it. I was rooted and de-crapified of AT&T bloatware and loving life until this happened.
I am coming from A Samsung Captivate and thats why I had the balls to try it in the first place. I know the theme wasn't made for the Bravo but there are alot of themes that aren't meant for the Captivate that work flawlessly.
I saw similar specs in the Bravo and the Defy (processor, screen resolution, Android build, Motoblur, ect..) and took the risk
NOW I HAVE AN ENDLESS BOOTLOOP!!!!
I know we don't have a custom recovery yet, but is there any way I can get this thing running again?
Mine is in the same state!
I tried instilling an app meant for the Motorola Droid that allows custom recoverys, and now I'm also in boot loops. Good news though, a friend of mine works at Motorola and signed me up to receive Motorola prototype phones, (that's how I got the bravo) and when my trial was over a new trial started with 2.2 Bravos, I didn't get on it though. But usually they work on the phone, and after the project starts about 2 to 4 months later the finished product comes out.
I'm thinking that the 2.2 update will be released probably the first month of 2011, just my guess, pretty sure sometime around there though. When it's released then that 2.2 sbf will be released also. Someone will take that in, post it on a website like always, then all you have to do is flash it with RSD. But don't you have warranty? If you do, don't wait like me, turn it in and get it fixed! You see, I can't do that because I have the prototype phone, and that thing has no warranty.
But yea thats 2 options for you,
Good luck!
Thanks. I still have the Captivate so I just started using it again. But the Moto just feels better in the pocket to me tho. I guess I can wait a few weeks to see if the 2.2 rolls out. But the warranty part is a no go for me because I bought the phone off EBAY and I don't have the original store/dealer reciept... At least that's the excuse that AT&T are giving me. Motorola doesn't deal with the Bravoo warranty wise because its AT&T labeled. Anyways, someone here at XDA will discover some kinda breakthrough...
Quick question for you... If you boot into recovery, and do the clear user data/factory reset can your Bravo make it to the Moto Setup screen? Mine can for some reason! But just when I am clicking next to set up the wi-fi connections it starts the whole bootlooping again, until I reboot into recovery and clear user data/factory reset all over again..ect.

How are you getting the wipe/reset options to show in recovery? every time I boot into recovery I just get the little tri-angle and andy. No matter what buttons I push, the options will not show. On my Droid X, you have to push the search button. but those are physical buttons not capacitive like the Bravo.
well, i don't know what i pushed, but the options showed up.
Your smoking crack if you like the bravo over captivate...
Just press the lower right part of the screen when you see the exclamation triangle.
Anyone know if there is a way to change permissions on the framework from recovery?
Did you ever get your Bravo up and running again? I just rooted mine with SuperOneClick v. 1.5.5. The new one v. 1.6.3 kept hanging at "Reading OS Version Properties..." Your initial post sent a chill down my spine.
Yeah, I got it up and running again... by warranty exchange! lol. Luckily I have a few phones to fall back on. Otherwise I would have been stuck for a month because thats how long AT&T makes you wait if your handset wasn't purchased at an official retal store.
I have a brand new one in my possession but I am a "flash freak" and if someone doesn't find a method for us to fully take advantage of this phones hardware then i'm gonna sell it and wait for the Atrix 4G

Good to know you got your replacement.
I would like to try flash "defy" firmware, as soon as, bravo sbf file become available.
BTW, knowing how att/moto operate, I would think skip Atrix's 2.2 and straight to Nexus S with 2.3?
Who's attention do we need to get to start getting some love for custom roms on the bravo? I'm wondering if it would be relatively easy to accomplish given the hardware inside is pretty similar to the droid 2 and droid x. I believe it's identical minus clock speeds. Anyway, I would like some stock froyo or gingerbread on this baby to see it really shine. Not to mention 1-1.2GHz.
Yes please. That would be awesome.
Yea....
You know, guys, you cant just sit here and ask for custom ROMs and just hope it pops up somewhere. You have to help too! Make a system dumb of your Bravo and upload it to Mega Upload or something to start off helping...then go around to people and ask someone, for intense on the Defy form because the phones are similar, if they'll take your dump (yea sounds bad LOL) and make some sort of custom recovery out of it. WE NEED PEOPLES HELP if we plan to make this phone AWESOME .
Well, I have no idea how to go about doing that, but would be more than willing to work with people to get the info they need to help them. I'll do some searching on how to get the dump unless you have a link that outlines that sort of thing.
From what I'm seeing people just grab the /system/ directory? I'm in droid explorer but it doesn't seem to allow me to copy it. hmmmm
Ditto, would love to help get some roms for this thing, just need to get me to the right path and I am all over it. Not much of a coder but willing to try.
Have already installed android sdk and Eclipse on my system, total noob to Android.
Have you found out anything on system dump? Probably good palce to start.
YEP!
That is why it's called a system dump! So yea I know I've had that problem too, where it won't let you copy the /system. I recommend the DroidExplorer program.
www.de.codeplex.com/releases/view/50997
Works great for me, IDK if it'l work with the Bravo as good as my Flipout (busted my Bravo, but it's fixable with an SBF or a .ZIP) So anyways please let me know if that works so someone can start developing!
Link gave me server error will try it again later on.
Here's what I have found out so far;
Using Eclipse/ADT I can see my whole system from Eclipse Explorer and watch it as it's running. From here I can push and pull (adb) from here. I have would attach a screen shot but need to wait till I have such privileges.
I could start to actually make system changes from here, but that would be suicidal since I am still new at this.
What I would like to do is download, copy, maybe dd from terminal, not sure how to, my current device rom to an emulator so I can experiment with it (rather trash the emulator than my phone).
If anyone an help with this (haven't figured this out yet) would be of great help.
Also have not investigated yet but Motorola Clig, Shadow, XT800, Kobe (Bravo), Milestone, Droid 2, Droid Pro, and Defy are all OMAP 36XX processors so I am thinking roms from these could/maybe (use at own risk I AM NO EXPERT) work on the Bravo.
As soon as I figure out all the above I am still ignorant in (don't want to brick this phone) I will start experimenting with the roms.
Any help in these areas would be greatly appreciated as it would also be a major time saver, googling for what I have so (which isn't much far) has taken weeks.

Closer look Xt800 and Milestone are the closest w/the XT being the one which would appear to be be best choice. So later this evening will head over to XT posts and see what I can dig up, right now need to go sell some cookies with my daughter.

This phone will get 2.2 soon, trust me on this! Once it does, someone will grab an SBF (a stock 2.2 Bravo SBF) for this. I think a main reason for this phone not being developed on is because none of these files necessary exist. Hopefully when 2.2 is released some one WILL get a hold of it, an update.zip, an SBF...I think the'll all work. So yea, just some good news. Oh, and don't ask how I know, I KNOW.
someone might already have their hands on the 2.2 update.zip.
I found in the market an app called "android dump". Does anyone know if that will do what we need it to do? And what is the steps we need to follow to get some support for this device? Just upload to media fire? I will go ahead and do that when I get a chance and post back gere when I have done so. anyone with additional instructions ios greatly appreciated.
Already done!
Just uploaded system dump to mediafire. In case you want to know how, just run adb and do the command pull /system.

this guy is porting koush's work to the bravo!
he needs an sbf though, can we help him?!?!?!
also 2.2 is far imo, its not even on motorola's update roadmap.
It's in testing right now. 2.2 that is.

the man is correct. almost had my hands on it.
If you guys are that close to it then surely you can get an SBF of 2.1??? pretty please?
I am porting Clockworkmod using Koush's bootstrap recovery and am close to a working test but am not willing to test it on my gf's unit without an SBF at this point, she just got it and she bought it on ebay so i am not sure if she will have warranty issues with at&t (probably)
so without and sbf i am looking for someone who has perhaps cracked their screen and is getting an insurance replacement, you can test my work and if it bricks your phone then no one is out anything, it will be sbf'ed at the factory anyways. even a warranty replacement is fine, but there is a little risk but i have never had problems with that. they just sbf the things. not boot them up and look for root lol. plus you already voided your warranty if you want to be techincal when you rooted

I work at att. The bravo is less then a year old so your gf is covered even if it was purchased from ebay. If you brick it just do the exchange by mail safer then in store.
What does the exchange cost because I got mine free as an upgrade phone and unless you have insurance it's my understanding that once the thirty day warranty is over it's all on you.

It has a one year manufacture's warranty on it which will protect against manufacture defects which would cover software failure if they did not find out device is rooted.
