I'm not an expert, but my understanding is this: a bootloader is what tells the core phone hardware how, where and when to load the kernel. Anything that happens to the Android filesystem after that is up to the kernel, which means a root user can touch anything the kernel allows. This very likely includes stuff in the /system/ directory.

Most every bootloader (except dev phones) will be "locked" which means that it will reject any unsigned kernel or recovery software. Those can be hacked, and have been on many phones. An encrypted bootloader is what we should be worried about.

I know this isnt the place for this but ...

since we dont have a dedicated forum yet i thought i would ask anyways. anytime i try to edit stat_sys_battery.xml or stat_sys_battery_charge.xml in the framework-res.apk the encoding is all messed up and not human readable. i can use apktools to extract readable xml files but if i cange them and put them back in it messes up the battery in the notification bar. any ideas? trying to do battery with percent. somewhat works with the original .xmls. thanks in advance.

[Motorola Triumph] pocketpenguin:
I'm a noob. Never done anything with android but use other people's root kits. However, at this point I have a ubuntu android sdk and source environment along with the "common" kernel built. Nothing by non-noob standards, but it shows I can follow instructions. :)

Pretend I'm stupid, how would I get a ROM off my Triumph? There appears to be no stock ROM available from Motorola or VirginMobile.

Here's what I can access so far...

When you boot with volume-down+power you drop into a screen that says:

Incoming Download Mode

pollling, get oemsb1_mode=1

pollling, get oemsb1_mode=1

pollling, get oemsb1_mode=1

...

It does this until you pull the battery. If you hook up to a linux box via usb you can see:

$mount

/dev/sdb12 on /media/caivs type ext3...

/dev/sdb1 on /media/MOBILE type vfat...

/dev/sdb10 on /media/hidden type ext3..

/dev/sdb9 on /media/cda type ext3...

/dev/sdb11 on /media/cache type ext3...

/dev/sdb7 on /media/system type ext3...

/dev/sdb8 on /media/userdata type ext3...

All file systems are RW and the MOBILE file system has the following interesting files:

image/amss.mbn

image/boot.img

image/emmcboot.mbn

image/ftm.img

image/recovery.img

image/splash.img

image/temp_ftm.txt

The sdb1 (MOBILE) partition appears to be writeable. If you place a dummy text file on the partition, the phone still boots and the file is still there next time the phone is placed in this "incoming download mode".

Does any of this help?
[Motorola Triumph] super-6-1:
I added the GPS fix on page 19 or 20 and it did nothing for me. I never get a lock at all. never have been able to.

also can someone please post there gps.conf file? i took mine from my OV and its saying it locks but it has me all the way over in africa? and never moves. So im guesing its something with the A-GPS server or .conf file.
[Motorola Triumph] joe green:
i still need help with the gps file. i dont quite understand how to get to the gps file on my phone from my pc. if someone could give me instructions on how to access these files from my pc i would be extremely grateful. thanks
[Motorola Triumph] super-6-1:
here is what i did. Go back to the page and make a file with the text inside it called gps.conf after put it on your SD card.

From here download a app called es file explore then go to settings go to the bottem and you see two opens, first click on root access, after clikc on /system read/write.

once done click on the small icon in the top left cornor and it will bring you to a lot of files and folders, click on system/ect and paste the gps.conf file you made into there and it should say done. once its done restart the phone and thats it.

Motorola to release source code for Triumph

I'm a new user, and it won't let me post links. Here's a workaround. URL: goo.gl/zOHH1

Wow, they are LITERALLY handing over the ability to create custom ROMS and what not. And we don't have a forum. They are willing to post the source code, but we don't have a forum. We get handed opportunity, but we don't have a forum.

Are the mods alright? Should we call a paramedic or something? This is not what I heard XDA was like, really.

Something seems wrong. :(

Aside from rev talking to the admins, I wanna thank each and everyone of you who posted on this topic. We did it. Now when we get the forum, lets be active. No matter what you can contribute: wallpapers, themes, mods, roms, tips, etc.

Thanks.
[Motorola Triumph] tgpraveen:
They are not just handing over just like that. They are bound by copyright law to release the GPL parts of the rom.

As for the other parts its up to them to release or not. My guess is not all of it will get released (it usually doesn't)

which means even after the source code is released there is no guarantee a custom rom can be made, but yeah it will make the job easier and give a good starting point.

And also for the devs here some useful links with the source, roms of other X6 variants

vote for motorola triumph

Vote +1, me 2.

Mind to post what tweaks have you done, so far?

Here is mine, really a no brainers tweak.

1) On phone swap, finish with the phone swap online by entering the new triumph EIN, and click activate (the red button) from the menu on triumph, NOT absolutely necessary to go thru the 16 steps to "program" your triumph

2) root with gingerbreak 1.20 (search xda)

3) get swype (beta.swype.com). You have to give them your email address and then follow the instructions. I got the 3.0 beta and it worked fabulous

4) laucher pro from the markin, it allows more setting for the phone user interface.

5) incorporated either dish or directv (from the market), and watching tv straight from my satellite, flawlessly

6) await a microHDMI cable from amazon.com ($2.49) to blow the triumph onto my hometheatre 120 in giant screen to play asphalt5 QuickRace

Still in the shopping, body case and screen protector, and extra battery

How to fix gps

Anyone having GPS problems, this worked for me.

1. Cry about how your GPS is not working.

2. Go to Android Market, download GPSfix app.

3. Go out in the open, not surrounded by trees.

4. Open the app.

5. Wait for a lock.

6. Your GPS works.

Finally battery with %

I have finally been able to modify the framework-res.apk to make the battery display percent. if you want to apply it just adb push unsignedframework-res.apk to /system/framework/frameworkres.apk . turn phone off then back on and presto. the link is . make a copy of the original by adb pull /system/framework/frameworkres.apk / (this will put it in your current directory). if you have any problems just push the original. if you want to change the notification bar just use ninjamorph to edit statusbar_background.9 in /system/framework/framework-res.apk/drawable-hdpi to what ever color you want. (dont so black because you wont be able to see anything black like text in the notification bar. i went with blue)

They're Foxconn ODM phones, and someone even pointed that out in the opinions/reviews area of the X6 on gsmarena.

The kernel logs are littered with FIH (Foxconn International Holdings) labels, and ALL of these devices are identified as Foxconn / Hon Hai Precision Industries devices by USB drivers...

[EDIT]

It's been re-branded by about 10 different companies so far including Hua Wei, and now Motorola. That said as I've mentioned before there are likely incompatible differences between some of the variants, esp. MT v. the rest, CDMA v. GSM support...

Yes have your phone connected to your computer and have the cmd with the adb push command ready with the working framework-re.apk.as soon as your phone is recognized hit enter and the file should be pushed through

[Motorola Triumph] super-6-1:
What you need to do is download ADB and install the ABD drivers to the phone, sadly and for some reason i couldn't use ADB on my laptop, my laptop never saw the ADB terminal from my phone.

also i have dumped the phones parititions and im working with a dev over at rootzwiki to get the phone going for dev work. So as soon as i have more info from him ill post it here.

also, i tried the APK for the frame file via ES file thing, works great and also if you do the same and replace the phone WILL reboot itsself so dont be alarmed.

My Motorola Trimph Died!

Hi Guys, normally I'm better about posting questions on XDA, but since there isn't a dedicated forum, I figured I'd just tack it on to this post.

Anyway, my Triumph died! I rooted it with gingerbreak 1.2, and it worked for a couple days. But then, I turned it on one day and it would get stuck in a bootloop! The annoying virgin mobile girl would announce "Virgin Mobile" then it would restart the boot sequence. I haven't got a clue whats wrong. Any ideas?
