Am i right in saying Tmobile confirmed the part 2 update would be middle of the month?? was their any solid confirmation on that??
Yes thay did. Don't bother f***ing around with them, root your phone while you have the chance. I lost my chance, regretting it so much.

It looks a little beyond my capability... not at all experienced in any of it
For what it's worth:
My G2 is in for a repair. The online repair tracker says that it has been repaired and the next step is 'software upgrade'.
This would seem to imply that the upgrade is imminent, however, given T-Mobile's legendary incompetence and dishonesty.......

I have something that might be worth trying if you wanna take a shot at rooting again Come onto the VillainROM irc (go to www.villainrom.co.uk and click IRC to get a web client) if you wanna give it a go. I can't test as I don't have a 2.1 unrootable phone. But if you understand that clouds might fall from the sky, and that your phone could spontaneously combust (have a fire extinguisher ready ), and you are still willing, give me a shout over there.
The reason I have not posted this is that it isn't tested, so there's no way I'm putting up details till someone has at least made sure their phone doesn't die.

Hi, I don't really know what you are saying here. are you saying that I talk to the WC (you?) and ask if he/she/you could take my phone away as you try to install a custom ROM?
Thanks, Andy

Umm. Not sure what you mean
If you come onto IRC (not WC ), I have something that I can give you to try. It is a zip file. You put it onto your computer and then you run a few ADB commands via a batch file. It should (not guaranteed as it's not tested yet) install patched recovery. You can nandroid etc. from there and flash custom ROM if it works.
We don't need to take your phone away It's just a little file you run that might manage to get recovery installed.
But it might also kill your cat or cause World War III. It's untested, but I am not aware of any other hopes.
Pulser (on chat.freenode.net #villainrom btw)
yeah they are rolling out their update in the Netherlands, runs smoothly.
As for no root access, well I dont bother to much about it, Most custom roms (with all the respect) are not my cup of tea. Some things didn't work the way they should be, and with all those roms I couldn't get my mobile tv to work.
Edit : Mobile TV doesn't work in this rom either, there's something wrong with the HTC updates...
Sorry guys, I know a lot of ROM's are linked to my site so I wanted to let everyone know I'm aware of the problem. My web host is *****y about bandwidth usage even though I'm not exceeding my limit. I'm dealing with them as we speak, and the site will either be back up shortly, or I will move it to a new host, and will hopefully be back up sometime tonight.
Sorry about the trouble, but I thought I'd make a new thread for this, rather than posting in each ROM thread where people are wondering why the links aren't working.
Thanks for the update on why.
Ok, the site should be coming back up anytime now.
I'm going to have to move the site to a different web host, however, but the transition should be pretty smooth. Hopefully it'll happen sometime tonight.

welcome back sir
you are a hero around these parts
thanks for all the help you gave me when i was an XDA noob
Ok, sorry once again guys, but even though the site is back up, I'm going to have to take it down and make some modifications before it comes back up, otherwise they're just going to suspend the account again, because the second they unsuspended the account, the bandwidth maxed back out again. I'll get it back up as quickly as possible!
Ok, once again, the site is back up. I'm experimenting right now with a new script to save bandwidth, while not affecting download speeds or anything. Hopefully everything works smoothly! Let me know if you have any issues downloading.
Thanks for keeping us informed. You are awesome
Hey im trying to follow this guide to get my Eris fully working on MetroPCS...
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...an-HTC-Droid-Eris-to-Metro-PCS-(Tutorial-v2.0)
the author suggests your 2.1 rom with root which when i click his link and i go to download it, the file isnt there. Is there another way i can maybe get this? If i were to apply it, does the phone have to be rooted before applying it or do i just apply the ROM and done deal? My phone is currently on the OTA 2.1

i was wondering if there'd be an irc channel. i'll idle here, hopefully devs will too and let us know when they have a breakthrough :O
Finally got around to checking out the channel, hope to see more of you there!
I plan to start idling there. Pretty good with Android phones. Feel free to ask for help.
I'll idle as well, as much as I can. Since I'm tethering and on the river most of the time though, it won't be as often as some.
Come hang out in the channel.

Best phone ever ! Got it rooted and running on a amazing sense 2.1 + 3.0

This place is AWESOME!
I just wanted to say what a truly helpful and inspiring place this is. I just got this evo shift 4g with 2.3.3 upgrade about a month ago and was trying to figure out some shortcuts when I stumbled onto this site. I started reading the posts and started to learn a bit about android, what root, rom, kernel, sdk platform, adb, etc meant and one day I jumped in. From the instructions and other great info on this site in the last two weeks I have been able to temp root, downgrade hboot, perm root, upgrade hboot back to 2.3.3 install and use apps like clockworkmod, titanium back up and other stuff. I just wish there was something I could do about my phone signal and speed besides the proxy adjustments to 0. Oh yea I was also able to flash 1.08 radio back after downgrade, didn't seem to help much though. Anyway thanks for the great awakening into the world of android smart phones. Next I might think about some custom roms, kernels after I do some more research. You guys and gals on XDA are the best!!

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.

Buying my vibrant on Monday. Am not new to flashing however its going to be with new hardware all around. Pretty sure the root process will be a breeze. I'm familiar with Mac but this will be the first time using it for modding so any tips for that would be appreciated. Know about TT backup got it covered. Need to know will CM7 due in the ROM department for little tweaks like led notifications. Know I can check the changlog but come on guys were all pals right. Any noob/news flashes I might need to know other than that much appreciated.

First off make sure your getting a vibrant 3g, not a 4g. The 4g has minimal development support and the roms will not work vice versa.
You said your familiar with a Mac? Doesn't that mean you own one? If so then no ODIN for you, which is the software you need to put your phone back to stock... So go pick up a PC.... Jeez people and Macs these days... jankkkkk.
Further, CM7 is pretty good, it's stable for me and a whole slew of people..
Here is my link on a guide on how to put CM7 on the vibrant, assuming you know how to at least root and use an android phone minimally, doing everything shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes max.
