K guys, as some of you know the reason we haven't see any work from one of our most knowledgeable dev's (vilord) is because his vogue is busted.
I'm wondering if anyone has one they'd be willing to donate to him?
I'm making no promises about what he'll be able to release. When he was developing his specialty was working with the RIL, and I'm sure he'd start poking into it again.
Anyways no need to make a speech, most of you know who he is and what's he's done for android on the vogue. So if you have an alltel, sprint or bell vogue you'd be willing to donate, let me know by PM and I'll forward you his info.
I might be able to help..just acquired another vogue (has a busted camera button) that i'd promised my wife..but i'm sure i can bribe her w/ a new phone of her choice that'll free up one of the vogues..i'll get report back if/when the deal's accepted
i second this motion.
1+ from me
I have a vogue that i plugged into a gps charger, led flashed pink and never heard from the phone again lol. it is dead if he needs it for parts it is his.
Oh hamburgers, my coworker just gave away his 2 vogues to his customers and didn't even realize that it can run Android(my bad for not showing him because he is all about the Droid at the moment).

Honestly I'm not sure what to suggest, try reflashing your radio, re-run icoke, hard reset, flash your vendors latest rom? Those would be the steps I would start with before even contacting vzw.
noticed that the psfree has been ported to a couple of cell phones (palm pre, nokia n900). i was wondering if it was possible for this to be ported over to our phone. it would be nice not to have to buy any extra hardware to do this. anyone who's smart know anything about this? like if it can be done, what would need to happen to make it work?
here is a site discussing the port to the pre. http://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65355
they released a version for nexus one
needs unlocked bootloader
well that sucks. there is really no way around it? i'm sure if someone smart enough really wanted to do it, someone would. probably not that much interest in it though. too bad, although if someone were to figure it out i would definitely throw a coffee donation their way.
well seems a lot of devices are compatible:

droid x not listed though, hopefully someone gets interested in doing this.

Well it says compatibility for the Milestone is in progress...which also has a locked bootloader like the X. So maybe you could check with the devs working on the Milestone or try the Milestone release when it comes out?

i don't think the milestone will help us, it seems like it works because it has the musb usb controller. not sure what we ahve with the dx but somenoe woudl definitely have to do some work to make this happen. too bad nobody seems to have this phone.
I've been looking today for a good way to go about compiling the module for froyo-based dx, as I've been wanting to for tun.ko as well to get vpn working again. Prior I found a .config and module compiled, but haven't seen anything for Froyo around the tun. Now there's additional motivation to make the psjailbreak module loadable, and figure there's got to be a way to resolve symbol issues.
I also saw another thread for overclocking modules, so figure someone's got to have a clean .config that works to also produce these *other* modules on and for a dx.
Not sure also how the boot.img file works in the exploit, if the signed bootloader would play against this. If the module were loaded after the boot process, it doesn't seem to care, but not at all certain how much this is modifying the boot process yet.

t4tav says that this bypasses the bootloader so no need to unlock it
this should work if the ps3-signed.zip flashes into the X with the custom recovery!
otherwise the files inside it need to be replaced with X compatible ones, I can't try because I'm at work but I will later. if it doesnt work you can always flash sfb back to stock

well this sounds promising, has anyone tried yet? looks like just about everyone's got this running but us now.
any progress on this? I am very interested =)
Hey all, I talked to koush and he said he was ok with me porting his Droid2/X/Pro bootstrap to the motorola bravo.
Basically it will work the same way as on those devices, you load the bootstrap app on the phone, and reboot into recovery. the phone reboots and clockwork mod then loads and you can install .zip's (like the gb keyboard, etc) do nandroids, install rom's etc.
you cant install custom kernels because of the locked bootloaders on these devices, this is the only drawback.
I am going to need some testers and even better if someone could get me the SBF file for this phone that would be so awesome. Its gotta be easy to find, its been out for a while and its an old software 2.1-update1 that i think is the same since release. Please let me know!
if you want to follow my work or help my github is :
https ://git hub.com/bandroidx - put the space back between git and hub i cant post links either
This should work with 2.2 so even if it drops soon, that is a ok. That wont make this project any less important, we need a way to get a custom recovery booted no matter what.
Update 2/19/11 - I hope to have a testable version done by the end of my long weekend (have off monday) will need testers very soon so keep in touch if your serious about testing. Anything I release will be a confirmed working on atleast 1 device (my gf's) build hopefully.
4-20-11: In final development, release imminent.
Ok i am almost ready for testers. You will need android sdk tools w/ adb and your phone must be rooted.
I need to finalize a few things, a sbf would really help, doesnt someone work for at&t and can get this?
Sent you a PM, but I can't tell if it actually was delivered. Please let me know if you got it. I am interested in testing my Bravo, but naturally, have some reservations. Thanks.
i am so limited by this 10 post thing, hopefully i get out of it fast.
i am trying to test it on a bravo emulation i got going in the simulator too, its being problematic but my gf has a real bravo for me to test on
an sbf would be nice, anyone?
i am asking some people for a sbf, maybe i can see about making a system only sbf like they did for the dx, that might work too.
MODERATOR please approve me so i can post in dev forums! argh!
I have talked to some people about an SBF and havent found anything yet. Someone must work for at&t or moto and can get this, all their stores have it probably to reflash phones.
But until then I need someone who is willing to risk bricking their phone because they are sending it back for warranty work. Yes it could void your warranty but I have never heard of this, we bricked a **** ton of droid x's before we had an sbf and had no problems.
Even better would be someone who is sending it to insurance to rpelace it because of a broken screen or something, that would be a great test unit.
So ask around, find someone for me, I should have a working test very soon.

P3Droid seems to be really good at getting his hands on leaked Motorola files. I've asked if he could get a Bravo SBF but was ignored. Since you are actually doing something productive, maybe he would be more apt to respond to you.

Ok, I am willing and able to aid you in any way I can with my bravo. it is rooted and ready to go. I do work for AT&T but only in sales and customer service, so I don't have hands on access to the .sbf for the phone. But if you know of any means for me to get it or request it, i.e. the rout or channel I should attempt to get it, that would be great. Thanks so much for your effort in this and let me know if there is anything I can do.

Thanks, I am not sure how At&t is but with verizon they have tech support in the stores so someone can bring a bricked phone in and get it fixed (or replaced) while they wait, etc. Does AT&T work the same way? In that case, you could contact someone at the store and get it with a good story to the tech guys. they usually are underpaid and younger kids at vzw and will easily obey any request from corporate imo. I am fairly sure this how most sbf's get out, unless its from like an inside engineering dept or from the manfucaturer themselves but those are problably more rare.
Thanks a million if you can get this that would be great. Otherwise i think we need to hope for someone with a broken screen ,etc that is getting a replacement. I would not want to brick someones perfectly good phone with no way to recover. It happens, even with the best testing and coding.

I think I know a way to get it. Now att does warranty exchanges is they send you a new or refurbished device and you send the broken one back to them when you get it. However, there is one store in my state that doubles as a warranty device exchange center. Basically if you don't want to wait on your device in the mail you can get it replaced there. I think that would be the only store that would have the files. I just need to think of a good excuse for them to put it on a flash drive for me or to email it to me. I think they would be more about to do it if they new I worked for att and I had a good enough excuse. I'll let ya know what I can find out.

Awesome let me know, that is def. a good idea. On a phone that has been out for so long and the SBF is for released software so even though they dont let them go out in the wild openly, they are quite available. [mbm] was surprised that its not out yet for a phone released that long.
Some other good news just incase, i talekd to p3droid again and explained what i was doing in better detail and he is going to try to find this for us. He said he will shake the tree and see what falls out or something to that effect. But its at&t and not vzw, so def. still try to get it if you can without getting fired!
Just never admit you want it to release it or that you released it. I will help you release it to cover you and insulate you further if you want. I will load it up on my french seed box
Ok good news people, I have made great progress on this and hope to have a testable copy ready as soon as this weekend! If i can spend enough time to work out a few things then I could have it ready to test sunday or monday. I am working out ways to test it as safely as possible.
Tenfar who ported CWM to the Defy is helping me on the project, we have found the phones are more alike on the inside than anything else, so his help has been invaluable and thanks to him this is really looking to be something that will work out.

bandroidx, was just checking in to see if you got my PM. I actually sent two because after I sent each one it said I had 0 sent messages. If not I'll shoot ya an email. Thanks.
Yes i got your pm and just replied.
I have a testable apk but it hasnt been tested yet. I am unable test it on the emulator but am working on other ways to test it.
the good news is i built the whole thing with help from the guy who ported CWM to the defy which is very similar and he thinks it looks good.
basically waiting on a sbf or someone with a device going back for replacement that can boot into the os and run an app (broken scren probably would be good)
OK i have the recovery ready to testi it will be first come first serve for testers. I will be back online around 10pm EST monday night to find some testers. send me your gtalk around then if your interedted.

CWM port to Moto Bravo
I too work at At&t and have an able and willing Bravo to put on the line for the sake of testing, if you still need help, I did use the CW for my Aria, so I have a little experience with it. Good luck, and I hope you guys get this thing going. I'm ready to throw Cyanogenmod on this baby!

I have a testable copy that is using code confirmed working on the defy so should be good.
If you want to try it, there is some risk of bricking or needing sbf (which we dont have) but it should be recoverable in most scenarios because of the way the hijack works, all you need is a rooted phone.
if someone goes wrong it should go back to normal on next reboot.

Hey, i was wondering if anyone had managed to port LewaOS on DEFY because i saw this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623464
and i was wondering if is that possible to work on our device...
anyone tried?
thanks
well I thought to port this rom 2 days ago but it really looks ugly. better try miui.
If u still want it badly, I will give it a go.
Please would you give it a go, I would be interested in this, too.
I have ported it, everything works but dont know why it hot reboots every now on then and bootloop during reboots.
will post on xda once this bug is gone. till then I wont mind if somebody else port it.
bdw as I said earlier, it looks ugly. these roms are just for testing purpose and not like miui/cm7 or cm9
Here u go
