So your problem is that you want to be able to reflash your original recovery?

If that's the case, then you can simply dump it before you flash clockwork.

On Bell it must be the same emmc partitioning, but to make 100% sure do the following:

adb shell

and then cat /proc/emmc

it should print this:

dev: size erasesize name

mmcblk0p17: 00040000 00000200 "misc"

mmcblk0p21: 0087f400 00000200 "recovery"

mmcblk0p22: 00400000 00000200 "boot"

mmcblk0p25: 22dffe00 00000200 "system"

mmcblk0p27: 12bffe00 00000200 "cache"

mmcblk0p26: 496ffe00 00000200 "userdata"

mmcblk0p28: 014bfe00 00000200 "devlog"

mmcblk0p29: 00040000 00000200 "pdata"

You see "recovery" is mmcblk0p21.

Now first root your phone without flashing a custom recovery.

After you got root do the following:

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=/sdcard/bell_orig_recovery.img

then if you really need it you can simply flash it back:

dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 if=/sdcard/bell_orig_recovery.img

[Droid Pro General] hydrogen4G:
Not sure if this is the best place. I just registered to be able to find a community of people that want to mod/hack their Motorola XPRTs. Can we start a new forum?

Also... I have a semi functional XPRT that I accidentally corrupted trying to remove all the Blur crap. It pretty much turns on and has adw launcher but text, contacts and dialer crash... I wish there was an SBF leaked for the XPRT....

Before you start asking why I didn't back up my stock rom. I did! but i lost the image! :( My only hope is now that somehow the XPRT SBF gets leaked. I tried using the Droid Pro SBF and RSD Lite 4.9 and it didn't work. I will try this again on my linux machine when I get home because I think I incorrectly installed the drivers on my win pc at work. So yeah... if anyone can help me. Is there a way to restore blur apps without SBF. I try installing them in system/app but no luck either....

All answers welcome. Thanks!

Very New phone, not a lot of help out there yet

I was able to easily root the XPRT using SuperOneClickv1.9.

I have yet to find a working tun.ko even though the phone is supposed to be almost the same as the Droid2. I cannot seem to find ROMS to help you out yet either. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case I find something or someone can help me with the tun.ko.

Yes I am a noob, but I am doing as much research as possible before posting.
[Droid Pro General] 2gunsup:
Being a fan of modding your phone while having an XPRT is sad, :( Will the XPRT ever have its own sub forums or custom roms?
[Droid Pro General] hydrogen4G:
VegasRooted, dude you are exactly the person I'm looking for! Another XPRT owner who is not afraid of rooting/modding.

So I have installed cwm recovery. All you need to do is use the DROID 2 bootstrapper by koush from the Market and then you will be able to boot cwm recovery and do nandroid backups and wipe the cache, etc. Let's start sharing all the things we are discovering using this device. I dont know why more people are not interested in dev/hacking the XPRT. So far I'm loving this phone! and with Motorola unlocking the bootloader soon I'm hoping this phone gets its own forum!
[Droid Pro General] hydrogen4G:
Also... I am the same person in Android forums who posted the SuperOneClick method for the XPRT! :) but I dont give me credit for it... All I did was try it out and post my result after it was successful. I figured since the Droid Pro and XPRT share a lot of internals, the root for the Pro would work on the XPRT too. zroot4 doesn't work on the XPRT, but it does on the Pro.

Anyways... I hope we can get some sort of subforum for this device!
[Droid Pro General] 2gunsup:
Can't wait to try out all the things VegasRooted posted. I guess there's really no way to remove Motion Blur completely? I just installed LauncherPro over it and called it a day.

Props to Hydrogen for having the sand to attempt XPRT root with SuperOneClick in the first place, AND THEN doing the ClockWorkMod install as well! Well played indeed...

:cool:
[Droid Pro General] VegasRooted:
Installing ClockWorkMod on XPRT

Thanks to your tip Hydrogen, I went ahead and bought and installed Droid 2 Bootstrapper and Bootstrapped the Recovery, then downloaded Rom Manager to install ClockworkMod. I then flashed ClockworkMod Recovery using Droid 2 as the phone model...worked like a charm, thanks again! :)
[Droid Pro General] VegasRooted:
Hey Hydrogen, is your XPRT still semi-corrupted? If so, let me know which Blur APK's you deleted, maybe I can use Root Explorer to copy them from my XPRT and email the APK's to you? Then you could use Root Explorer to put them in the /system/app folder...That might work, right?

VegasRooted
[Droid Pro General] hydrogen4G:
VegasRooted,

no worries. i deleted blur-home.apk and blurhome.odex files and i was using ADW as my launcher but all my messaging and dialer/contact related functions stopped working. I removed root and sent it to Sprint and they sent me another one. This time I'm doing double backups of my original stock rom b4 i remove all the bloatware.

btw i noticed you have been removing things like Bluetooth transfer and DLNA. Do you not use those features?

hydrogen4G
[Droid Pro General] VegasRooted:
Removed Stuff

Yes Hydrogen that's correct, I don't use Bluetooth Share or DLNA, although I have tried them both. I like to strip out absolutely everything that I don't use, so little-by-little I will get it all cleared out, the way I like it! :)

Cheers!
[Droid Pro General] minlo:
I'm contemplating on purchasing the bootstrapper but couple of questions.....

With one click root, if i choose the unroot option does it successfully unroot it?

Do we have the shipped rom anywhere for the Xprt?

Were you able to do all the wiping like dalvik etc?

Is there any crash course guides on porting roms because wouldn't the Pro have many similarities with the Xprt making it easier to port?

Last question isn't as important since it's my gf phone but i would be interested in trying to port....

TIA
[Droid Pro General] VegasRooted:
Answers

I personally have not tried the "unroot" option of SuperOneClick, so not really sure on that...

There is no "factory rom" available (to my knowledge) for the XPRT...I have read that with the Droid Pro there was a factory SBF that was leaked and folks could flash it through RSD-Lite to return to factory...but no such SBF yet available for the XPRT, apparently...

Yes, you are able to wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache, as well as User Wipe/Factory Reset using ClockworkMod; you must use Droid 2 Bootstrapper and select "Reboot Recovery" in order to boot into ClockworkMod, however. (Once you have followed the other steps to bootstrap the recovery and install ClockworkMod in the first place, of course...)

As for the last question, I personally have no experience in porting ROMs, so I can't help you there...

Good Luck! :)
[Droid Pro General] jh1523:
I'm thinking of getting the xprt from Sprint... I travel to Europe frequently and would like to be able to use it on both sides of the pond. Has anyone been able to get unlock codes from Sprint? Their rates are outrageous ($3.50/minute). I'd like to use local SIMs if possible.
[Droid Pro General] ProfNo:
I got the XPRT for similar reasons; I am loving it btw. It is a much more "adult" phone. The screen may not be huge and hi-res, but the battery life is amazing, and the keyboard is great. Build quality seems better than the HTC I had as well.

I had an EVO before and would switch back to my blackberry when traveling to Europe.

My experience using the blackberry (and it should be the same for the XPRT) is that you just have to call the sprint international line and they will unlock it for you for free. Then when you are in Europe, you just go and pick up a SIM card and put it in. That is all.
[Droid Pro General] jh1523:
Cool, thanks... I have no experience with Sprint International since I never had one of their CDMA/GSM hybrid phones before - I would just lug around my Sprint phone (Sanyo 4900, amazing phone, still works and has better reception and battery life than any phone made in the past 5 years) and a cheapo unlocked GSM phone - Samsung something-or-other.

If the XPRT has decent reception, and I get it unlocked... I would be able to replace both of the above. Hacking comes next. :)

Factory Reset for Motorola XPRT

Try this to reset your phone to factory default:

1. Pull the battery out and reinsert it.

2. Press and hold the Power and Camera buttons

3. Release the Camera button when prompted

4. Press and hold the Volume Down key

5. A yellow exclamation will appear on the display

6. Select the Wipe data/factory reset (Alt + W) option

Joining the XPRT League!

Hello All,

just got my XPRT and joining this XPRT league to root my device!
[Droid Pro General] cinguliano:
I just rooted my XPRT (with the latest Froyo update already installed), using SuperOneClick 2.2. The first time it reported success but it didn't work. I ran it a second time and then after reporting success, it prompted about installing Busybox. I clicked the YES button and now my phone IS rooted. I can now take screenshots and use Wi-Fi Tether for root.

A question though: What would be the point of installing Clockwork Mod if there are no custom ROM's for this phone? Should I even bother?
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
Great cinguliano! How did u back up your stock firmware?
[Droid Pro General] cinguliano:
I haven't backed up any firmware, though I haven't deleted anything yet. I had applied the update long before I attempted the root. If the Gingerbread update does come in, I'll unroot before I apply the update just to avoid headaches.

help

hi guys,

since this is officially the unofficial XPRT forum, I'm coming here for help. i was following some of the guys like Vegas talk about Rom manager and was experimenting.... I killed my Rom. the phone is not bricked because i can "boot" into android system recovery, but since i killed the old rom... it doesnt do me much good.

is it possible to load a functioning Rom as "update.zip" and run system recovery to fix my problem?

[Droid Pro General] :
Hello.

I have a Motorola XPRT in the UK, it's not activated.

I did root the phone, but it's not much use as I can't get either wi-fi to work, or data.

it says no 3g is available due to not being activated. I've read that wi-fi won't function for some people unless there's another data connection.

Any ideas?
[Droid Pro General] hanybanoub:
You have to put it in airplane mode then turn off then on again.

It will try to connect to activate and will give up. Click ok that you cannot activate. Then you are thru to the phone.

With your SIM already in, go to settings and set to GSM/UTMS only and have it use your network specifically by manual connection not automatic. This is my preference.

Dont forget to also tick GSM data.

Then all should work as normal.

dont forget if you ever restart, put in airplane mode first.

This version is less buggy i found than the others and doesnt if ever restart on its own. I manually have to restart rarely.

[Droid Pro General] biohazerd87:
Lame... I assume that hasn't been leaked?
[Droid Pro General] drkcobra:
To the best of my knowledge it hasn't. This forum would be the most likely place for that to happen. I think I have already posted this info but here is the exact file name of the latest release if it helps anyone find it:

1FF-p3_kronos_cdma_kronos-user-2.2.2-KRNS-X4-1.1.10-110916-release-keys-Sprint-US.sbf
[Droid Pro General] tcaudill01:
I will gladly pay a $50.00 bounty to the first person to find and post a legitimate working SBF for the XPRT. Payment will be made via paypal as soon as the file is proven to be authentic.

P.S. There is an XPRT forum on AndroidCentral since they won't give us our own here.
[Droid Pro General] drkcobra:
MB612 XPRT latest sbf available, but...

I know a guy who has the very latest sbf file that was released on 11-30-2011. The filename is:

1FF-p3_kronos_cdma_kronos-user-2.2.2-KRNS-X4-1.1.10-110916-release-keys-Sprint-US.sbf

It works great as I tested it at his shop to recover a dead phone somebody traded me. The key is this guy makes part of his living selling files.

He is not out of line at all compared to most who do that, but the price is $200.

I was figuring that we should be able to get enough of us together to put in some portion of the price to make this happen, and get all of us the file (finally!!). It is certainly a cheaper than paying for a phone repair or leaving it around as a high priced high tech paper weight.

Please pass this info along to whomever you think might also be interested in getting involved. Please contact me via PM and I will send you my contact info if you wish to discuss this further.
[Droid Pro General] NoNameAtAll:
I can't contribute the cash (Folks wouldn't want me to do that), but I do hope you succeed in this venture. My old man has an XPRT and with a SBF, I could safely do the cheesecake method of finding updates for the phone.
[Droid Pro General] NoNameAtAll:
Sorry for the double post, but if anyone wants to be brave and try the cheesecake method, here's a link on how to do it. This may lead to unreleased builds for the phone. If we're lucky, maybe there will be Gingerbread. :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1164582

If you find anything, send me a PM with the file uploaded somewhere and I'll see what I can do to make it usable.

If you find anything, DO NOT INSTALL IT. Just download it and navigate to the /cache folder. You should see a ZIP in there.
[Droid Pro General] KOOSHAL:
ByPass activation

To bypass activation just delete these 2 files from system/app folder using rootexplorer after rooting.

Recommendations

First a thanks to theslug for posting on uninstalling recovery.

If you just got a phone or have not rooted yours and are thinking of rooting/custom recovering, I recommend an order of things just based on all my problems.

1. Manually install all firmware updates first. Currently version 4.1.110.MB612.Sprint.en.US. (Settings > About Phone > System updates > Update Motorola Firmware)

2. Root device (I use superoneclick method mentioned previously)

3. Reboot

4. Install bootstrapper (Droid 2 Bootstrapper)

5. Bootstrap Recovery (in droid 2 bootstrapper)

6. Reboot

7. Install Rom manager

8. Install clockworkmod (in rom manager)

9. Reboot recovery (in droid 2 bootstrapper)

10. Make a backup of device before making any other changes

11. Copy sd content to folder on computer (backup your backup)

This original backup just might save you. It saved me a few times, before I bricked the phone.

I had made a backup of original, then deleted the list of apps VegasRooted has suggested. Then the software update failed. I recovered to this original and the updates were successful. At this point SuperUser was on my phone, but I was no longer super user. Everything requiring root no longer functioned. I recovered to the original, once again. Changed camera shutter sound. Unbootstrapped and unrooted. Update failed once again. I spent several hours reading in the Motorola support forums and determined the update checks for installed applications and file permissions. I had not remounted system/media/ui as read only when I was done renaming shutter sound. I managed to brick the phone before I could reroot and remount the folder as read only to verify the update would succeed or not.

A recommendation on how not to brick your phone in the same way. Whenever you make a change, reboot the phone. I rooted, remounted the folder read only, and attempted to unroot without a reboot. Phone and computer locked up. Phone permanently boot loops now. So I would recommend after a root, unroot, installing or uninstalling bootstrapper, manually reboot the phone.

I have successfully uninstalled recovery, and unrooted two devices using superoneclick and following instructions of link posted by theslug. Follow instuctions EXACTLY for uninstalling the bootstrapper. If you delete the wrong file, your phone is a paperweight.

Anyone who has bricked one, post exactly what you did to brick it. A list of what not to repeat would be great since we are in the dark and on our own with this phone.

HELP!..Rooted and Removed Moto apks...Dialer n Contacts App not showing up!

Thanks to all and Shortfuse for I was able to root my XPRT in a click!

But hastliy I jumped onto remove the bloatware before backing up the ROM. Using Supermanager I uninstalled most of the listed Bloatware along with few "blur" apks ( like motorola.blur.res). Now the dialer and contacts are not showing up :(

Any pointers on how to resolve this? Can anyone share the contacts related apks for me to install?

Cheers,

[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
BOOM!...Brick!!..Factory Reset!

As a followup, when i rebooted my xprt (with those missing blur apks), it was getting stuck at the M logo. So I did a factory reset from Recovery mode. But now this firmware while booting, is not giving the option to go to airplane mode and hence in an endless loop searching for CDMA!!! :(

Any ideas on how to resolve this?? How about flashing Motorola Droid/Milestone SBF?...All specs look the same except for its sliding keyboard..(Not sure if that would be a problem)...
[Droid Pro General] nimigeanu:
The loop is not endless. It will time out after 5 minutes or so. You can next make limited use of your phone, enough to enable usb debug and root it. After that delete some files (see above) to disable the activation.

Hope it helps.

All is well...

Hi all, just got the XPRT yesterday, coming from an EVO. Long story short, EVO broke, and I felt like getting a more simpler phone - just email, phone, text and tether is all I need. Anyhoo, I rooted, removed a few of the apps in the list of this forum with titanium, and all is working great. I read a lot of you are working out issues, if I can do anything let me know though I'd need a pretty clear instruction guide. I unfortunately didn't back up stock before, but I also haven't deleted anything; just uninstalled. Cheers!
