Cyanogenmod 7 for Motorola XPRT
Disclaimer: Do not flash this ROM if you do not know what you are doing and I take no responsibility if you do so, etc.
This is not an official ROM nor a final ROM. This ROM is still in testing stage and there will be some issues and problems. If some errors are encountered and somethings dont work then please post those issues in this thread.
Things that are tested and working:
Call and Data in GSM
Camera
Audio/Video
Call Recorder
etc.
Things that don't work:
Home button,
Voice search button
Side button.
Requirements:
1. Flash Gingerbread 2.3.5
2. Root
3. Install Custom Recovery
Boot into recovery and flash the ROM below:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/X8rTOj2P/cm-720-kronos.html
Next do a data/factory reset from your recovery.
After installing this ROM, Flash gapps for gingerbread to get Google Play Store ( Android Market) from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
After flashing this ROM it is not recommended to install recovery like Droid2 bootstrapper.
You can get to the bootmenu by rebooting your phone and when it starts up the LED will turn blue. When it turns blue press the volume down button. From the bootmenu you can choose the Recovery option.
thank you

It is not necessary to install the bootmenu as in step 6. You can install the droid2 bootstrapper and flash the ROM directly as the ROM already contains the bootmenu in it.

So far I've only noticed the problem with the home menu button as the user above had stated. And and this on to your list rongsang. Calls and data work straight off the bat CDMA Boost Mobile! Amazing job.
Great Job Rongsang! Nearly perfect! I had the home button problem too, but I reflashed the rom, and it still didn't work. So then I deleted the dalvik-cache when I was installing gapps, and now the home button works. Not sure what fixed it though, lol.

Questions
I have some questions ...
Firstly, with regard to the cm7 20111018-nightly v1.0, you mention that DEVTREE changed to UK2.2.2 and use CH2.6.0 kernel. Will the change in kernel appear in my phone ? (ie under kernel version)
Secondly, there is changes for the battd from uk2.2.2 (no battery jumping) Does it mean that the battery will not drop from 65% to 50 %?
Lastly, if I'm using the phone for mass storage and after i safely remove it, which is suppose to appear? ME722 or A953? (I'm from Asia region)
(I'm sorry, I cant post in the android development due to limited posts)
Thanks.

I'm having a problem. CM nightly does install fine and reboots but when I install droid2bootstrap and tries to boot into recovery, it does hangs on boot screen. Is there any specific directions I'm missing??
You cant use Droid2Bootstrap in CM7 or MIUI. They have integrated Bootmenu, which have included custom recovery.
ok then how to enter in recovery or Bootmenu? I'm giving a last go again :-(
Edit: I'm idiot!!!!! Cheers UFO for pointing.
After installing MIUI my Milestone2 is restarting constantly. Once installed, it worked normally. After installing several apps, it began to restart. I went back to voltage and frequency for stock. He kept restarting. I decided to start over. This time, I installed a few apps, restart stopped. After installing all the apps, To restart again. I was uninstalling apps, and it stopped rebooting. Is he related to the amount of apps, or even the amount of homescreens? I used the room (2.2.2 Argentina). MIUI 1.10.21V2. I believe that many users experienced this. Thank you.
Sorry, but I'm going to need some help to do this...

I'm not 100% sure and just finished reading through this whole stuff for the Milestone 2, but I think it's (as of today) the file called: "cm7-20111027-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-ICS-Stable-v2.zip". The link is always at the end of the last changelog in the code box (just scroll a little bit down).
---------- Post added at 04:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------
After this procedure the bootloader is still locked, isn't it?
What is now different before the leaked ROM came to us, why can we now install custom a ROM? We have a suitable kernel?
Big thanks for the hard work getting this done
noticed a few people have a problem with the USB not mounting and I'm having the same problem, quick digging around I found out when I mount as "memory card access" it connects find to the pc but unmounts the SD card and I haven't found out how to remount it yet

Hello,
I'm following the steps to install CM7 on my phone - currently using "mostly blurless gingerbread" rom - but I'm getting an error message "Invalid MD5" when trying to apply the update (step 7).
Also, another question - do I need to unzip the update on the destination folder, or leave it unzipped?
Thanks in advance.

No. Use clockwork mod in recovery to flash it, select from sd card. BUT before flashing the rom, clear all stats and caches. Using rom manager can be unstable some time.

Use the P49IMG.zip method. I'm not sure where but this is the method I used.
Edit: It's here at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12782368&postcount=2
Click on the P49IMG.zip for Clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 , put it on the root of your SD card (in no folders, just on the top of your SD card). Then boot into HBOOT and it will ask to install. Puts the volume up key to select yes. Reboot.

If I am not mistaken it is: Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Download that one. Once done, Reboot into Recovery.

That isn't permanent though, you have to use the permanent P49IMG.zip method to fix the offmode charging bug. Otherwise that method only works for one time. Then it goes back to the old recovery.

The one that came with revolutionary should work fine to begin with, power off the phone and press volume down + power button, then select recovery from the hboot menu, after recovery starts select backup then wipe data and wipe cache, then find wipe dalvik cache and do that too.
Next choose install from zip and choose your cm7 zip or whichever Rom your flashing let it run and reboot.

Hi,
I recently bought a refurbished Nexus 7 and after creating 4 users and installing some apps on them the tablet started to act strange... e.g. when I open settings and tap any of the category it doesn't open... I need to press back and wait 30 sec or more. The same happens with Google Play when I tap install. Also with all other apps (EXCEPT games). Note: The tablet isn't laggy. I don't know what to do Please help

Try wiping cache. In recovery preferably.
Okay. And that will erase the temporary files and cache files NOT user data, correct? :fingers-crossed:
You've tried rebooting?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Yes. The same thing happens. I tried to enter recovery mode to erase the cache but i got the message "no command" and the green Android laying on its back with a red triangle over it. Any opinions?
BTW, on boot a white open padlock appears. That means is rooted? I also installed Root Checker and said that i don't have root acces. If it's rooted then can I unroot? (bcz i'm thinking of a warranty replacement)
The open lock means the boot loader has been unlocked. You still need to install super user, there's instructions posted search for it. Recovery wasn't installed properly. I missed a step my first time and had the same dead android, again is posted in the instructions on rooting and installing cwm.

The problem is that it appears there is no recovery installed thus the no command error. So you need to start with using the knowledge from the first thread I posted to get a recovery installed. From there you can try to wipe cache and dalvik cache then fix permissions. Or just follow the second thread to start completely fresh with a new install of jb 4.2.2.

Rooting's best side effect is being able to tweak and streamline your device to make it as zippy as possible. Never will be as smooth running unrooted stock with no tweaks.

I did a factory reset and now I made two users and installed around 5 apps. Now it's ok (no more delay). I think the problem is that the RAM/CPU becomes very slow with 4 users and many apps on them. I can only hope 4.3 will be better in managing multi-user devices. Anyway, the open padlock is still there.
Or just follow the second thread to start completely fresh with a new install of jb 4.2.2.

So, a fresh install with the method you gave me in the 2nd link can fix recovery mode (no command) and lock the bootloader?
Yes or No?

Highly recommend you look into MultiROM. Like having multiple operating systems on a PC, you can install how ever many ROMs you want on your device that you will be able to pick which to boot from. There is less lag running different ROMs on there then stock 4.2.2.

Interesting...But, I'm not interested in setting up multiple OSs on my N7. At least not now.
Thanks, anyway.

Why do you prefer to have 4 accounts on 1 ROM? Especially when it is causing you increasingly more trouble? And I am doubtful 4.3 would be a significantly better at "multi-usering".

Just hoping U know... I know that it's 90% sure that will run ultra-smooth and problem-free, but I don't want to mess around with rooting, ROMs etc.
Now I'm waiting for @SlowCobra96 to respond to my question cuz his explanation was kinda odd.
One more question: When I tried to clear cache (from the UI because the recovery is f***ed up) I ended up with ~500MB cache from 600MB
Did anybody experience this problem?

Read the links I included they tell you what they do and how to do it. One is to install cwm and then a new rom if you so choose the other is to make the tablet like the day it came out of the box.

And the cache problem?
I've tried to flash my GT-I9505 using Odin and it's failed (please see screen grab below).

A few weeks ago, I tried "I9505XXUBMGA-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL" from the same thread and that failed and locked up my phone.
Which I had to pay to get the phone re-flashed properly.
(I've used the above successfully in the past).
Now, I'm in the same position again with a failed flash and probably paying to have it fixed again.
On the phone itself, the progress bar is only 2mm long. So if I switch it off, it will probably mess everything up.
What should I do now, while it's still connected to the PC and how can I successfully flash it in the future ?
Thank you.

It's 4.2.2.
I've managed to get the phone "working" again, by using "I9505XXUAME2-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX".
Which is on the same thread.
But, since I got the phone working again, I can't get WiFi to switch on. Factory reseting via Settings doesn't fix it.
All the ROMs I downloading in the past (MF8, MGA and MH1) with "ODEX" in the title from the same thread don't work.
Odin (any version), says "Not Responding" when I try them and fails to update (using Win 8.1).

Sorry, but I've no idea what you're talking about.
Simple instructions, please.
If it's for post 3: If it's the same as powering off the phone and starting it with Vol. up, Home and Power keys and resetting it that way.
That didn't for resetting the phone and the WiFi problem.
If it's for post 1, please ignore.

Edit:
Just to update.
I've lost all sound and I can't play any music or videos, even the Samsung material.
have u flashed a custom-recovery like cwm, Philz or TWRP?
If "clearing data , cache and dalvik cache" are new for you, plz read more about this all.

Thanks for the reply.
CWM
I've deleted the cache partition and wipe data/factory rest.
I can't find the "dalvik cache", I've seen a YT video about it, but it's in "advanced settings", which I don't have.
I'm rooted , SuperSU is installed.
delvik cache is under advance option of philz recovery
AND DO INSTALL THE LATEST PHILZ RECOVERY V 6.0.0.1
Clearing cache/Dalvik ain't going to fix your problem. Your sound/WiFi is busted due to that bootloader issue. You need to flash a 'WiFi fix' (non-HLOS modem) to match your current firmware/bootloader. Go to the modem thread (search; easily found) & find a non-HLOS modem to match your current firmware (and I don't mean 4.2.2 or whatever, I mean XXUA, etc, etc)
Thank you for the replies and help.
This is the WiFi Fix page http://d-h.st/users/DjeMBeY/?fld_id=16262#files
But, my current FW isn't listed (ME2), I've tried ME3 and MEA, I think those are the ones before and after ME2 (maybe wrong).
But, they don't work. I've tried them multiple times.
I'm not sure which others to try.
I'm going to pay and hopefully get it fixed today.
But, I'd still like to know how to fix it, for future use.
It will mess up again, when I root it. That is unless I just stick with "I9505XXUAME2-PRE-ROOTED-KNOX" and not try later updated ROMs which have worked in the past).

I'm due to collect the phone tomorrow, I received info from them today (Geek Squad at Carphone Warehouse, a company based in the UK), saying that it had been fixed.
I'm guessing they reflashed it. But no info was given on what they did.
After I get it back, I think I'll get rid of it and get a HTC One instead.
Using a custom pre rooted ROM, just seems to mess the phone up.
Hopefully there's another way for the HTC. Plus, I shouldn't need to worry about Knox.

Thank you.
So, I have the S5(Obviously) and I like to play around with which of the ROMS I like best, but my only problem is having to redownload all my Apps. I can backup my contacts and messages easily and restore them, but when I try to backup/restoring my apps, i'm at a loss.
I've tried titanium backup but when I do I move the backups to my External SD Card so they don't get wiped when I flash it with a new ROM, but when I move them back or anything, it just shows nothing. So basically is there something i'm missing or is there another way to backup my apps+appdata so i'm not spending forever trying to redownload some of my apps?
Veru much appreciated and thanks in advance.
Why are you moving your backups? Why not just back them up to your external card?
You are half way there by using titanium backup........
TiBu can make a zip of your backup that can be restored through CWM.......
Done it myself many times.....

BUT.......If you choose to include app data in the backup zip, make sure the version of Android you are restoring it to, is the same as the version that was on your device when you made the backup.....
App data is *usually* OS version SPECIFIC......so it could be the case that the restored data won't 'play nice' with your new ROM if it's based on a different OS version......

This could work for me, but I don't have the donate version at the moment unfortunately. So is there another way to achieve this?
I didn't know this about android version but that's nice to know. i plan on sticking with Lolipop but i'll be sure to keep this in mind.
Sorry fella......
TiBu is the only app like this I've ever used....it's all I know.....
It was the first root level access app I purchased after rooting my first ever smartphone somewhere way back in the frozen past.....lol
For what it costs it is *the* single most useful app you'll ever buy......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Agreed, I bought it like 6 years ago, invaluable.
Check this Web page. .....

I don't doubt that, and I can probably buy it here next week or so after I gain some funds. SInce it the holidays I kinda went a little overboard on getting gifts. Haha
Ill probably do that though. Thanks for the help.
Just to make sure I got this right, so basically just open TiBu, backup al my aps and such, then run the "Create "update.zip", move it to me external SD card, flash the ROM, and afterwards just re-dl TiBu, and recover it usng the update.zip, correct?
EDIT: Thanks, i'll check out the site.
You don't use TiBu to 'flash' the zip......you use a custom recovery....
I've always used one version or another of CWM, I should think that you can use TWRP instead, but having not used that recovery, I can't say for certain.

Oh no, sorry I knew that you didn't use TiBu to flash the zip. xD Sorry, I use FlashFire for that. Shoulda used more detail or explain better last time.
1. Create the Backup
2. Create the Update.zip
3. Backup whatever else I feel I need to on my phone
4. Move it all to my external SD Card
5. Flash the ROM with FlashFire
6. After new ROM is installed and etc, re-download TiBu
7. Then under one of the recovery options, get all the apps from the Update.zip
8. Restore whatever else I backedup onto my External SD card.
9. ??
10. Profit
(9 and 10, couldn't help myself. xD)
Lol.....
In essence, correct......
Point 7 though......
You don't touch the zip.....no extracting or anything like that necessary.....
Simply boot into (custom CWM or TWRP) recovery (this won't work with stock recovery.....or even CM recovery), locate the update zip and flash like you would a ROM zip......nothing else needed......
Edit.....TiBu will be included in the update zip....

In my experience the update.zip hasn't worked for me in flashfire, might be better to just back up your apps to external, and then when you reflash it'll all still be there eon your external so long as you don't wipe it, then you boot and restore them in TiBu, that's what I do on my G900A since there's no recovery...

At the moment FlashFire is my only option since I don't have a recovery either(Atleast I don't think so? If someone could tell me how to check to see if I do or not would be great)
But i'm gonna try on FlashFire at somepoint when I can get the Pro version of TiBu

If you are currently running a custom ROM, then at the very least you have CM custom recovery....it is relatively easy to flash CWM or TWRP over the top of this, then you can use the newly installed recovery to flash the update zip......no need for Flashfire at all......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------
To check which recovery you have, simply power the device off, then press and hold power, volume up and home buttons simultaneously until the phone begins to boot. Release all the keys and you'll be in recovery......
The text at the top of the screen will tell you which recovery you have.....

Hey no problem fella......
The text at the top says 3e which means stock recovery.....i'm guessing you are currently running a Samsung firmware....
Unfortunately you cannot flash the update zip from stock recovery.....
It *has* to be a custom recovery which would normally come as part of a custom rom......
Although, a standalone custom recovery can also be flashed on top of a stock firmware......just got to make sure the recovery you flash is compatible with the firmware.....

Well i'm running the Phoenix ROM. So do you have any links or Tips on how to get a custom recovery onto mine so I can make this possible?
Like I had mentioned I really enjoy trying out new ROMs and wanna try more I just hate having to re-install all my APPs and such. =\
EDIT: I found this link here and it this seems liek it may work since i'm on the G900V version, but I just want a little confirmation on if this can work before I just jump right in. =P
I have a variant of the device that doesn't have a locked bootloader.....so (fortunately for me) I don't have to jump through the same loops as you do in order to modify my device.....
as a result, I'm not familiar with the processes needed for locked bootloader devices, I also cannot state what will or will not work with any certainty......
Having said that, I've been a member on here for some time, and whenever I've seen mention of Safe strap, it's generally been a positive comment.....speaking as someone who hasn't had to work around a locked bootloader, it would seem to be a good option, but if it were me, I'd be looking for some informed confirmation before I used it.......
Sorry I can't be any more help than that, but I really don't want to hand out advice that bricks somebody else's device.......
