I can't really describe it, but I was thinking is it possible for anyone to make a startup screen like the droid commercial. When you startup your motorola phone, I was thinking can someone make it have to Red Orb/eye seen in the commercial, and the wallpaper you see on the droid x. And add the robotic 'droid' sound to it.

Lots of kewl stuff.
It's not been updated in forever but some of the links still work..
Good luck
รถ
Sorry, but it seems to work only on the droid incredible, and not on the motorola milestone. Also, do I need to be using a droid device to get it to work? I'm non-US.
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.
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.
Oh, btw, heres the link!

BTW i already got jboogie (dev working on defy) and asked him if he had any chance of porting it to the Bravo by just making some minor changes. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877058&page=92
without clockworkmod or something we cant even use roms, good thing i just saw this:

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.
I have a Verizon Droid X that I bought to hook up to Alltel's network, and have voice and text no problem. I'm using a thread on howardforums but am unable to linke to it...new user and all...Google "Droid X on Alltel" to see what I'm trying to do.
It seems everyone else can get data but I'm unable to. QPST will not save the settings not matter what I do. CDMA Workshop is out of my budget range and QXDM makes my mind spin. Can anyone offer any help?
On a side note, I have a friend who owns an Alltel authorized reseller store. I can put my hands on an official Milestone X to pull whatever I need to accomplish this, or anything else the community may want to get their hands on. Would it be helpful for me to pull the Radio, APN, SPF, ROM, etc from the Milestone X and flash to the my Droid X?
spf
I would be interested in the spf for the milestone x if you can get it thanks
spf
yea i also could really use the spf to fix my phone if u could get it it would be really appreciated thanks
Hey guys: it is spelled SBF.

It would be absolutely awesome if you could grab an SBF. I threw a Verizon SBF on it without thinking about it about 2 months ago and Moto has been screwing around with it ever since. First they threw a generic on it, then threw Verizon back on it. Genius!
sbf
oh your right its sbf but iether way i could really use the file i have no data because im running the verizon sbf with my milestone x on the alltel network.

Good, I'm not the only idiot (good natured) who threw on the wrong sbf.
Bumping an old thread because I have a friend that's selling his VZW Droid X & i'd like to know if it'd work on Alltel with no issues.
I have a Motorola Droid X from Verizon and allowed the OTA update to install. I now have v 2.3.3 and it looks really nice. Gingerbread. However, I noticed that my superuser was gone and no app would bring it back. I read all sorts of things about flashing back the ROM to Froyo, rooting, then installing a special 2.3.3 update. That is going to wipe my phone and maybe my card so I did not want to do it. But, I noticed today that I have a few black horizontal streaks in the LCD screen, easy to see on a white background. This is bad, the LCD screen has bad pixels and is on the way out so I put in a claim for a replacement Droid X and it will be here tomorrow.
Since this phone will already be "wiped" until I install all my stuff again, I would rather get this rooting done now and not have to worry about it later. I have no idea if the phone I am getting will be 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 but will find out tomorrow when FedEx gets here.
Somebody please give me some URLs to "known to work" rooting on a Motorola Droid X that I can use and tips and advice. I had no problem rooting until I hit the brick wall of 2.3.3. If ever there was a time to get this over with, that would be now. Also, will I be not using OTA updates anymore and where will I get future updates? I can use and own a Linux machine, have flashed BIOS and older phones, but really cannot afford to mess this one up. Please give good links and advice. Thank you.
Sincerely,

Let me start by saying, there isn't any possible way to brick this phone. This security comes from the SBF files we can use to return the phone to pure stock.
Secondly, you can use a one click method to root the phone straight from 2.3.3, even with the .602 update.
Follow the instructions here:

And even though it says Droid 3, it supports most Motorola phones. (Including the Droid X)
I hope I could help =D
