Im going to. . .

Want to try an sbf flash first just in case.

Does anyone have system dump of froyo stock?
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Once you sbf, you can make one yourself, I don't have one
[Bravo Android Development] snnyby:
Hello,

The HTC Tattoo also has a 3MP camera and also a 100% working CM7 port

[Bravo Android Development] slowcurve:
has anyone checked it out yet?
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
Here was my reply to pm...

That is what I believe the order of importance is.. I could be wrong!
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
Do you have to have bandroids recovery installed? Im just nor used to seeing a recovery you have to buy?

2nd init hasnt been working except to do minor zips and restores. Get md5 mismatch when try cm7 nandroid restore and critical errors with update zips???
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Which 2nd init installer app did you download? Did you install it correctly? Try to redownload the nandroid, it might've become corrupted.

Try installing the recovery for the defy (I haven't ever tried this but since the phones are so alike, out might work. Let me know what happens).

I think bandroidx was supposed to release a free version, but never got around to releasing it
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
Used the one in your post

Edit.... got it working but working on something before I venture into cm7

Thanks jorgon
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
De Camera? i can haz camera?
[Bravo Android Development] dontbejeff:
Don't forget to change the build.prop file to reflect we are using the Bravo, not Defy. I have been doing this (although forgot to). Basically change MB525 to MB520 and Jordan to Kobe. That way everyone knows what we are using! (And I don't have to change it to 520 in the signature :-P)

Btw since I mentioned the script, anyone else know of other changes to it we need to make?
[Bravo Android Development] rdannar:
I made a camera thread for everyone to post in..

Cheers
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
We should work on a less iffy way to install, or have more instructions. Ive had to flash the sbf like, 6 times :O
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
That's what sbfs are for:D:D

But I do agree, i have written another, just need to post (will be soon)
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Awesome, awesome. I dont mind having to reflash a lot, it only takes a couple minutes, but the instructions posted dont work for me
[Bravo Android Development] aleandro76:
hi. i have brick my bravo using this guide step by step. thanks so much!!
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Flash the sbf... and it also says to not use those instructions as he is going to post more straightforward ones later.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
sorry about that. Go here for the SBF. The instructions there are correct:D
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
I will honestly say that I have no idea how to do the set permissions. I'm still learning so that is where I am stumped but i would love to learn how to do that.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
If im not mistaken, which I could very well be, root explorer can change permissions. Im sure there is an easier way though.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Thank you! I cant wait to try cm7 just waiting patiently for the updated instructions:)
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
In root explorer, go to the folder where file is located and mount that as R/W (rewritable). Then, press and hold down on your chosen file. Next click permissions. A popup will come up with 9 check marks. In the end, they should look like this:

You're correct, root explorer does change permissions. I am trying to make a flashable .zip in which all the files have their permissions already set.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Sweet, full instructions. ill report back!

F***. Still doesnt work for me.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Really?

I tested and it worked. Are you trying to flash CM7 or MIUI?

Which point are you having problems?
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
When I boot into custom recovery from boot menu, It still boots into that green version of Recovery. I tried to flash cm7, ill try miui. Gahh.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
The green version is supposed to come up, but only BEFORE YOU FLASH THE ROM. You haven't flashed the ROM yet, so it should still be green. Bandroidx's recovery is green.

I'll test again with cm7 (maybe i did something different to get that to work)
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Bandroid's is green? Really? I thought it was orange! Well then I wonder what my problem is if it isnt the recovery
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
So after that do i simply just move the file with root explorer to where it needs to go and overwrite the current one? Is that all there is to it
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
I'm gonna try CM7 now. I'll report back in a few (probably more):D

UPDATE: Try rebooting before installing GAPPs
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
You want to move and overwrite the files BEFORE you set permissions because you can't set permissions on an sdcard.

Remember, you have to set the permissions for ALL the new files, it's a pain, but you won't bootloop:D
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Thanks!! I will tell you how it goes, just backing everything up before SBF flash! :p

Edit--------

I'm getting the green recovery too and bricked, just reflashed SBF, gonna try again.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Tell me what you do to get off the green recovery if you can get it.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Sounds like a plan.

I know now if I get to green recovery not to flash :P because now i gotta install all the apps to get this going again.

If you find out yourself please tell me!:D
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Sorry for double post.

I thought for sure it was orange? When you boot and the green recovery comes up on mine it doesnt say bravo and all the other information that it usually does. It looks like a vanilla cwm not meant for a specific phone. Every time i flash in it it bricks.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Will do, it sounds like we're having the same issue now. Dont flash in the green recovery or the Defy recovery (if youre using the market version of 2ndinit, it installs the Defy recovery instead of the green) youll have to restart. Have you already installed MIUI, then lost it, or have you not installed it at all yet?

My dad's just had a real bad accident, so im using a hospital waiting room computer. Forgot my phone, so I cant help there, but ill answer everything I can.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Could you sign into gmail gtalk?

I'm zach.taaiwc, itll be easier. I'm trying to figure out whats going on here.

Every time I boot my phone, i get the second init menu leading me to the green recovery. I dont even get the option to press volume down to get into 2ndinit, i t always goes. I tried using bandroids app and just booting straight to recovery, and that STILL takes me STRAIGHT to the 2nd init menu.

And when i installed CM7 in the green recovery, i rebooted and got a serious error on the bootloader screen and had to flash SBF

And I really hope all is well with your dad!
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
That is the EXACT same thing happening to me. Cant do gtalk, sorry, thisll probably be my last post till I get home. Thanks for saying, my dad'll be fine, he just crunched his ankle really badly, and hes getting older. But no worries.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Alright just send a post when you get back home, we are gonna figure this out tonight! Lol. And good to hear he is gonna be ok. :)

Sometimes when i try to just do reboot recovery i have to pull battery, i just sit at the motorola logo. I'm starting to loose hope :( i wanna know what im doing wrong compared to everyone else lol.

Edit---

Ive tried pretty much everything man and i get the same result every single time, started from complete scratch a couple times too same thing, the boot menu ALWAYS comes up.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
The boot menu will come up every time unless you set a default boot.

Ok so the bandroids recovery is orange? Maybe I've seen green so much, I thought it was his...whoops:o

I'll Be here for the next few hours so if you need my help...

The critical error is only with cm right?
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Alright, im back. What a nightmare. Back to business!

The critical error comes when you try to flash anything with any recovery other than Bandroid's.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
@ripin, sorry to hear about your dad, hope all ends well:)

As for the green recovery, it works perfectly fine for me (which is why i thought it was bandroidx's at first).

I don't have any problems flashing things in it, which i weird because a couple of people have been reporting they cant use the green recovery.

I'll try to replicate the critical error and come up with a solution
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
When u flash with green. Can't get bandroids to show up period. About to restore backup for the night lol. Ill provide any info u need I just can't get into androids with the menu
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Which 2ndInit app are you using? I am using the one posted on this thread. I haven't tested the one from the market yet.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Yours
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Bandroid's won't show up if you have 2ndInit installed...........i think
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Ok so u installed both with the green? If so I will try miui
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
yes i can install both roms with green recovery.

For cm, do you install gapps after you reboot after installing cm?
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Im using the 2ndinit posted here.

sorry, kind of late.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Even stranger....:confused:
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
What if you made a backup of your firmware at 2.2 with everything ready, then we flash it with Bandroidx's recovery without 2ndinit? its got to be something wrong with the way we're setting it up, that way we'd have it set up exactly like yours.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Im just gonna post step by step what I've been doin cause I must be doin something wrong! :p

1. Flash SBF

2. Root

3. Install bootstrap and run boostrapper

4. Make sure usb debug is on and install 2ndinit

5. Disable usb debugging

6. Reboot once

7. Click boot Regular in 2nd init

8. Reboot

9. Click regular boot again (2nd reboot)

10. restart to flash, wipe cache and data

11. Flash CM7

12. Reboot

13. Bootloader Crit error appears. I hadnt touched gapps yet
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Ahh here i am double posting again -.- Gotta stop that ha ha ha..

I've even gone to the point of straight flashing in bandroids app, critical error. its very strange. Right now im letting my phone charge so i have some more juice to flash with.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
My steps exactly. Im going to try those steps with Miui, but I think I already did and it didnt work. ill try again.

update- Brick again. Dammit.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
I just dont get it lol, we must have "special" phones, ha ha ha.

Just keep me updated im willing to do anything.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
ok I'm making a nandroid of cm7 so you can just get it without having to do anything.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Thanks so much man. Do u just go to bandroid recovery and restore the nandroid? I've never had to is there anything special u have to do?
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
yep that's all there is to it.

right now im going through your steps to install, will report back
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
I very much appreciate it :).
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
ooo im excited. Have you already tested this method, or are we going to?
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Nope. this is it.

Guess what? Using your steps i still got cm7 installed and booted up and working fine. very strange
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Very very strange... kinda disappointing as that may mean problems putting other roms on our phones without somebody to put a nandroid together like you are and i really appreciate it, i wish i could figure out what is wrong.

Still im excited but may have to try tomorrow gotta go to sleep soon

Just tell us when u get it! I wont be able to try until five central time. Work all day.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Ill be here all day, im on summer break :D
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Sorry it took so long guys. Here is the Nandroid backup of CM7 on the Bravo. Sorry I didn't have a chance to put in the signal fix (also no gapps), but it's easy enough to do yourself:D

This might not work because i made this in the defy recovery (latest) so it might not work right in the Bravo bandroidx recovery.

Extract it to clockworkmod/backup/. Wipe date, then restore the backup and wipe cache.

Cross your fingers:p

I'll check back tomorrow

Nandroid: http://www.multiupload.com/F3SKL40O76
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Sweet, thanks! Trying it now
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
SUCCESS! Oh my god, finally! I have no idea what the problem was before but its working now :D
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Sweet!!! Can't wait to try. Im on break too but now working full time D: lol
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
just make sure to extract it to /clockworkmod/backup, because it wont let you browse for it.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
How's it runnin?
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Awesome! How are the capacitive buttons working out for you?
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Everything works, including buttons, which surprised me. It was a pain getting antennae on, since you have to change permissions for each file. Runs extremely smoothly, more than stock. Very nice, motorola should ditch blur and let everyone upgrade to stock 2.3
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Great. I agree. But now we have another problem to fix: why are your buttons working and mine aren't?
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
o_o I dont know, thats really weird, since I flashed from YOUR backup. Try backing up again then restore from that
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Yep about to flash it. I'll even download it from multiupload even though i already have it.:D
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Haha, good deal. If that doesnt work, I can post mine since it does work. I dont know how though, its yours.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
It worked! THis is getting weirder and weirder:p

Oh well. Now all i have to do is fix the camera and make a flashable zip to fix signal issues.

And also test out the new MIUI that came out today
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Before you flashed the backup to fix the buttons, did you try wiping your cache and dalvik cache? I bet one of those fixes it. I dunno.

New MIUI? Just in time!
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
I never wiped dalvik wonder if that did anything. Ill do anything I can to fix camera
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
oh****, im in a bootloop after flashing 2.2 sbf. Is there a way to get into stock recovery on the bravo, since it doesnt have a search button?

edit: Never mind, got in. Scared me for a bit there. If anyone wants to know in the future, once you get to the Triangle exclamation point thing, mash your volume keys.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Are u tryin miui
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Not yet, I will after I reinstall cm7.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Ahhhh I gotta wait four more hours to try lol
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Hang in there!
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Yep i always wipe data/cache between installs. Well the nandroid fixes the button problem so we can put that aside for now.

Yeah, there is a new MIUI release every friday
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
I'll try it after i eat something

EDIT: Language packs are down

EDIT: Back up, i'll flash it tonight

Yeah, in the motorola releases (with red moto logo) to get the menu to show up in stock recovery, you press both volumes at once
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
Well somehow even after installing 2nd init recovery I can still boot into Bandroidx recovery.

Anyways trying CM7 now.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Did you install before or after you bootstrapped bravo recovery?
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
I installed bravo recovery before installing 2nd init.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Very weird. So far, it seems that me and zachthepack are the only ones with issues getting into the correct recovery version. Oh well. Proceed with install, tell us how it goes.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Its very strange. We are all using the exact same software I don't under stand why ours works differently

Now I wanna know thoughts if anyone has any ideas about the camera. Im gonna start poking around and see what I find when I get home
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Great, I'm glad someones working on the camera issue. When I get back I'll try some stuff out too. So by the way it looks this would be a perfect CM7 rom if we just had the camera working.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
That's what im thinkin
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
This is a very usable port, no issues besides cam if you manage to get the thing installed
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
It baffles me, oh well.

I already tried replacing libcamera.so, libcamera_client.so, and the libcameraservice.so. I changed their permissions to be correct, but the phone would get stuck at the moto logo I cleared cache, dalvik cache, and data. The phone still wouldn't boot up.

I also installed a modded blurcamera.apk for the defy, but it would force close.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
We should try to get ahold of bandroid, he may have an idea on how to fix it.

Man cm7 is incredible!
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
+1

He could help us a lot
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
I sent him a tweet but honestly not sure how twitter works. I think he has to follow me to see it. I think he could seriously help.
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
You also have to change the build.prop. I am working on it. Would take some time. The camera resolution for the defy and bravo are different. That resolution can be found in build.prop.
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
You have to tag his name in the post. Then he can see the post without adding you.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Ok I did no reply. Oh well haha.
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
But like he said you would have to edit all of the .so cam libraries... as well as the build.prop. But he can't even get the phone to work with editing the camera libraries so we have to all find a way around that first right?

Maybe you could get around this by replacing the files in the cm7 zip ahead of time and then flashing cm7.
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
Yeah usually fixing camera is not easy in roms. It takes some time. Lets see how it goes.
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Sounds gr-r-reat
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
Check your pm!
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
I'm at my fiancées house and did not bring my laptop so can't do much tonight. I'm excited to see so many people beginning to work on this.
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
I did but there's nothing there:confused:
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
Ok I just want to ask if the youtube videos are working for you in CM7? Play them using the youtube app not via the browser.
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Yea it's working fine, it's not working for you?
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
ok. I just noticed something weird. I have stock rom right now. After installing the 2nd init recovery the camera and videos stop working. But if I uninstall 2nd init recovery, they work perfect.

I tried this 3 times and got the same result.
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
That is weird. But even weirder that your're not using CM7:eek:
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
ok, now we have to figure out what the 2ndInit is actually installing and why it interferes.
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
And how we could get the camera working on CM7:D
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
I am just saying that 2nd init may be the reason for the camera problem. But i don't think there should be a problem in CM7. If the camera does not work, the youtube videos don't work. But that's not the case in CM7. Videos are working in CM7. So I think its just the camera problem not the 2nd init.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
so is

anyone

using MIUI? Just curious
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
I guess it would be better if we all work on CM7 because more moderators are familiar with it and can help us with the camera problem. In that way we can port it officially to BRAVO.:cool:
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
After a lot of testing everything is perfect in cm7. All we need in this is camera and remove.the defy specific apps and we mmay be able to call this a bravo port
[Bravo Android Development] bandroidx:
sorry guys, been really busy the past while with my job.

I did get some tweets/messages and am looking into the camera problem when i have time.

build.prop needs to be changed along with /system/etc/media_profile.xml

libcameraservice.so may need to be compiled from cm7 source for the bravo also, i am not sure yet.

follow me on twitter for the most updates @bandroidx
[Bravo Android Development] abhi897:
Nice to see you. I hope the camera problem will be solved soon now.
[Bravo Android Development] zachthepack:
Dude glad to have you back!
[Bravo Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Sounds like a nice plan:D
[Bravo Android Development] zax10:
@Band... come over to the x10 forum and message Z or J... They are the 2 big devs that got past the Camera problems. We are now running gingerbread but unfortantly the camera only works off of 800x400 res. This is all done with locked bootloader. Also the camera will only work with Cam Illusion from the market.

It might help you get a temporary camera until you can figure out the build.prop.
[Bravo Android Development] slowcurve:
personally i really wanna put cm7 on my phone. but all i see are people having trouble installing it and those who succeed no use of the camera :(
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Everything works except camera. If youre really nervous, Id install through the backup posted.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
The installation problems have been fixed with the new nandroid restoration method. And even if you have problems, you can always use the sbf.

The nandroid method is currently the only way that works with everybody (so far), so it is the only way I have posted up, I removed the other way due to the problems with it.
[Bravo Android Development] hippyman:
Before I install cm7 on my phone(currently using bandroidx mod), I have to know, does this completely remove motoblur? Imho, deblur>no camera.
[Bravo Android Development] jorgonv:
Yes cyanoogen and miui are both aosp roms which means they contain no motoblur.

Getting rid of blur does not necessarily mean a broken camera because the motorola defy (also originally with blur) has a working camera even though it is running cm too.
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
How do they accomplish that? Can we use the same method?
[Bravo Android Development] hippyman:
I wasn't implying that cm7 has no camera, just that at the moment ours does not. I'm confident we'll find a solution, I just wanted to know if cm7 would remove blur. Blur is satan. :(
[Bravo Android Development] dontbejeff:
I have to agree that Blur is pretty bad. The Bravo runs so much better with CM7. But it's not just Blur that made it not sso great, as there are some system enhancements as well
[Bravo Android Development] ripin150:
Yuhh, comes OC'd to 1GHz, which I recommend scaling back to 900MHz to save battery life. Still runs exceptionally fast.
