[Motorola Droid Bionic] the2dcour:
I am asking around about files for your Bionic. Either a xml.zip with full fastboot partitions like we found for the D3, an sbf, or an OTA file with ap20bl.img. Unlockable or not you need something to recover to in case of a failure.

That being said feel free to contact me if you have contacts or are a contact that has access to files either from QA servers at VZW etc or moto itself.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] FcoT:
The only one time that I ever returned a phone was due exactly because the bootloader was locked. I have owned OG droid, Incredible, Droid2, DroidX, Thunderbolt, and now the Bionic. I have rooted every single one(except this Bionic still) That OG droid and Incredible you could not brick! Well, I am sure someone probably thought they had, but there was a way to un-brick it! If they say bricked phones is a money looser, but unlocking them looses money, well that's their conundrum. The law say we can root them, it is our device. So the fight here is now personal.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] deadlyv2:
Well I'm returning my bionic. I have officially lost all faith in moto till they

Are fully swallowed up by Google. I will not be locked into another locked device.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
Good news, folks. I found someone credible who will be assisting me (SBF files) with checking into some possible unlock solutions for us. Stay tuned for the results!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BerkleyJ:
I "may" have access to a test model of the bionic, do you think I could potentially help?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jgrimberg1979:
Sweet !!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jgrimberg1979:
Unleash this beast !
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sensatti:
Is he going to be willing to part with the SBF if it's the full one? Or just has access to try and find an unlock exploit?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
Please keep this updated Kenneth. I'm interested and skeptical as of now lol its hard to see an sbf being released already
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BerkleyJ:

I would say for the sake of having access, don't accept that until someone can make an image of your phone for the possibility that something may be different enough to be of interest. I don't know much about Android partitioning but I want to say that doing a dd of each partition into a bunch of gzip files would at least come in handy.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
A test unit likely won't help with unlocking retail units.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BerkleyJ:
I agree, although your always better safe than sorry. I just wanted to make sure I couldn't be of help.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
Worst case, it wouldn't hurt just to have that data :p
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TweakMyDevice:
Subscribed and following closely.

Surely someone here on XDA is a high-level tech for Moto and has access to all files...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
Checking our first batch of files now. Don't get your hopes high. Motorola creates dozens of SBF files for each device. :cool:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
If the risk doesn't seem outrageous, I'll jump on the Project Cheesecake train here in a little bit. Giving it some thought since having no backup method makes me really nervous because I had an X brick once with no backup phone, and I thought I was going to have a heart attack :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
As long as you don't actually update the device (only download the update), you're good to go.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ctbourg87:
Subscribed!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
Aye captain :D

edit: Edit data_wifi_only_settings.mkitso. Replace "data_wifi_only_feat_avail=1" with "data_wifi_only_feat_avail=0"

This file does not exist under the dir that it's supposed to be in (system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.services.blur/), the only thing in the folder is defaults.xml. Not sure if I should proceed or not. Any clue what that does? Could I just make a text file with the corrected line and drop it in?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
You should create the files and place "data_wifi_only_feat_avail=0" inside of it. It allows you to download over 3G/4G.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] sensatti:
I can say it used too take no longer then a month for motorola to distribute sbf files to retail stores pst computers but that last few have taken closer to 2+ months.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.setup also doesn't exist. In /system/etc/motorola:

tcmd

12m

/com.motorola.blur.home, which contains a default.xml

/com.motorola.blur.conversations, which contains a default.xml

/com.motorola.blur.services.blur, which contains a default.xml

/com.motorola.android.dm.service, which contains /databases, which contains dmAccounts.xml

any clue which file to udpate to correspond to step 5/6, or can I just create that folder and that defaults.xml?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BerkleyJ:
I'm just going to accept the OTA. I'm curious as to what all it will update as far as the kernel and baseband.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jgrimberg1979:
$100 to whoever can unlock the bootloader between now and Friday. $150 to whoever can do it today :-). I know it is highly unlikely that either will happen but I figured I'd throw it out there
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
There is already a big donation pit going for this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236725 :D you're as eager as I am lol but I don't have the extra money to toss in just yet. When some more clear directions for Project Cheesecake get worked out I'm going to help test that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
Okay folks. First file-set was stock and does not include the bootloader.

If you have any way to help get files email me (kenny@web-sk.com), PM, or post here.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
I updated the OP to better help people find the xml file sets. No more SBF files.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
I'm testing my first method right now. For any folders and files that didn't exist, I just created them and dropped in whatever the instructions said, although I have a feeling that the new Blur doesn't look for things that weren't previously there, so I doubt this will do anything. Will repost in a few, about to wipe /data

Attempted so far using 'create folders where OP dictates' method, with response 'no updates available:'

-master-lab.blurdev.com

-master-demo.blurdev.com

-master-staging1.blurdev.com

When I tested on testcloud01-sdc1.blurdev.com, and when I press system updates, I get prompted that "'System Update' is not available without a Motorola service account. Would you like to setup an account now?" and when I press yes, it always fails to see my data connection. Something interesting in that server for sure. Venturing forward. (update: even on wifi that fails immediately, so I don't think that is going anywhere)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
Wait so you have an sbf file just doesn't have a bootloader file? Can't we still use it on rdlite
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
No SBF file. The file is an xml-img-set that is flashable in RSD Lite 5.4+.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
So basically is the same as an sbf. In the sense it could fix a bricked phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
I've tried four servers so far, only one gave an interesting result, the rest were just 'no update available.' Will continue to test a few more tonight or tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
What update did you get.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
I couldn't get past that 'requires motorola service account' bull**** so I called it quits on that one. So far the others have all just been duds. Part of me wants to know why that one prompted me like that, but like I said I couldn't get it to see my connection, even though I tried on 3G and wifi.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
Correct.

Thank you so so much for assisting in this effort.

Stock build. No updates yet.

Interesting... thanks for helping!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
No problem, I'll probably be back at it later tonight after I make some dinner for the gf and do a bit of studying so it might be a few hours. I'll try that one server again to see what the deal with that motorola services thing might be all about. Let's continue to fight the good fight :)

edit: I'm having trouble staying connected to 3G now, and I cannot complete a phone call. It seems to think that I'm outside the US and it wants to add 011 to any number I dial. Going to remove the changes I made to /system and see if that helps. For it to even connect to data, I have to reboot, enable airplane mode and disable it, a few times before it even gets 3G. Otherwise it just sits there with 1-2 bars (I normally have full where I am) and they stay white, never blue.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
Agh... that's odd. Update servers shouldn't screw with your 3G. Hopefully the problem is unrelated/fixable. Keep us in the loop!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] :
kennethpenn, I am still checking on a daily basis for an official xml.zip/.sbf. As has been mentioned before, it usually takes no more than a month from release for moto to push the recovery file to retail computers. I have not had an update to my RSD since before the bionic came out. Should I be looking in different places? Generally its Program Files/Motorola/RSD/Firmware/(Phone Model), but with the new recovery format, is it possible files are stored in a different location?

This was the same exact situation with the Xoom .sbf, we had absolutely nothing for a month or two. One day, I randomly got an update to RSD and we finally had a safety net.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
I'm doubting it was the server as much as just one of the files derping something around with the connectivity. I removed the folder that I created and its default.xml and removed the .mkitso and restored my copy of the ORIGINAL defaults.xml and it seems okay now. About to wipe data and make a test phone call.

edit: Legion, do you work at a Verizon retail store by chance?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] :
Whatever gave you that impression? ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
A little bird, perhaps. XD I do have a question for you though, do you guys have any of those Bionic t-shirts? I saw some pop up in a few stores online and I've been looking for one but none of the stores around me have any.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] :
Oh, gotcha, *glances back at his sweat soaked "rule all machines shirt"*, I have a shirt for every major android phone since the OG Droid(still the most badass 'cept for maybe the charge). I've never seen them for sale anywhere, they just come in the mail. Alot of people ask for them, maybe check ebay? Sorry. As I type this I have a Htc trophy shirt on.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
Can you post that xml file so we can use it if we brick our phones then?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
I would pay whatever the cost for you to mail me a XXL of the rule all machines shirt. And I've checked ebay. :(

Will post the untouched xml shortly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
Thank you. I'll check back soon
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
Have you tested the xml and is it working?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
Got the Bionic release XML-Fastboot archive, but the file was corrupted. Need it to be re-uploaded. :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
Someone please email a copy. A close friend wants to test it and make sure it works so we don't brick our phones. Afox1208@gmail.com
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
When the sources are ready for a public release, they'll say so. Be patient!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
Papi, you need the original unmodified defaults.xml from /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur, correct? Just want to make sure I send the correct one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 7olycon7:
LOL!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
Yes I need the xml file for the use in rsdlite. Trust me. I am talking to a member of tbh who will test
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BerkleyJ:
Just wanted to make a note that I accepted the OTA update on my pre-release Bionic and my about page now looks identical to the ones posted, except for the baseband. Instead of "CDMA_N_03.1C.50R ltedc_u_05.15.00" mine says "CDMA_N_03.1C.50RS ltedc_u_05.15.00"
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kennethpenn:
Interesting. Guess the OTA didn't bring you to the same updated baseband.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15379864/defaults.xml All yours :) let me know if you need any other files.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
Not what I needed but thank you alot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
Uh what did you need then? :confused:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] papi92:
It's a file that is used in rsdlite. Don't worry I'm going to stop being lazy and set up my phone to receive the updates from servere
[Motorola Droid Bionic] K.AuthoR:
Gotcha. If you don't mind, let me know how you set it up and I'll give it a whirl as well.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] JackTheRipper13:
What is this for?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] yutzyscott:
If you don't know then its best you keep it that way and don't attempt to use it. Very easy to brick your device with radiocomm. Advanced users only. Way advanced users.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
RadioComm is Motorola's premier diagnostic serviceware. It is designed for use by top level software engineers. It can access any Motorola device in any mode and perform a huge variety of tests and analyze any aspect of the radio hardware and software.

With a quick gkance at the GUI and the most seasoned and experienced phone modder is immediately confronted with the fact that they are not a radio engineer and there's a good reason these guys probably make more than you do. ;)

It is an incredibly complex and cluttered multi window GUI with myriad buttons and fields that can read or write or execute all manner of low level hardware diagnostic and settings parameters.

You can even set and burn the fuses on the bootloader.

You can also subsequently render your phone unbootable or worse in seconds if you randomly press buttons or execute anything. There are built in safeguards for most critical operations but very few warnings anywhere. It does what you tell it to do...with wonderful or disastrous results.

It is a very powerful tool if you respect it and your worst enemy if don't.

Its just plain scary...but fascinating and you can learn a great deal about how your phone really works.

Please be very careful and if exploring the GUI only read things and never write or execute anything unless you are certain you understand what you are doing.

Thanks to kennethpenn we have a very current version again now with compatibility for the latest devices.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jamezr:
Thank you for answering the question with such detail and not blasting us noobs when we ask questions. RadioComm looks like something I won't be running! :-)

Too many dragons!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] devanmc:

Absolutely! Any lingering doubts I may have had about whether the Bionic was the "phone to get" quickly vanished when I saw some of the amazing people that are going to be involved in it's development! :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] yutzyscott:
Sorry if my answer was arrogant or rude as it wasn't my intention. To be honest I could not have articulated a response as well as cellzealot did anyway. I just wanted to quickly prevent anyone from completely bricking their device.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] scheatyj:
Saw this in another thread, can't remember which one off hand. is it of any use?

http://briefmobile.com/droid-bionic-receives-fastboot-recovery-files
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
This is less a development project and more of a treasure hunt.

If they come upon the right files, assuming they exist, then we may have a usable factory OEM unlock for the Bionic. Progress, as such, will be rather sudden in that case. ;)

The real question remains whether such a mechanism exists or is even possible with the fuse array on the OMAP chipset. We have the mbmloaders for HS and NS hardware for the D3 because they included a new bootloader in the .890 update.zip.

There are some indications that it is possible, but I don't think anyone has a complete understanding yet of the bootloader lock on these new chipsets to say definitively one way or the other.

So, if it plays out like it did for the Nvidia Tegra II based devices, then we will simply see it posted here when it's found on a server and we will have to then begin to understand how and when it can be safely applied.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scheatyj:
Did the Terga 2 get a bootloader unlock?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scores87:
Both Photon and Atrix 4g got the bootloader unlocked

Can anyone attest to checking any of this? I'm thinking if I have some time tonight ill do some in-depth server sniffing and packet analysis and maybe write a small program to make this quicker.

Please reply if you've tried anything at all here. Or dm me
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Clienterror:
Ya we got lucky and found an unlocked bootloader on accident while basically brute forcing the Moto severs. I don't know if they'd make that mistake twice. I hope you guys find something or can use something from our phones to help you out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddggttff3:
ya, lets hope that someone at moto values the true value of opensource and that a unlocked bootloader is out there on there servers! :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rlewis312010:
Phydo, you mean like a macro? Can this be done/checked from a PC some how? Only curious, forgive my ignorance here. Might speed up the process.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Well, first I want to figure out all the Motorola servers that may be usable for updates. There's a lot of them in the 63.162.194.x it seems. A lot of them seem to run web servers for an eclipse jetty plugin or something for dev. Next I want to figure out how the phone speaks to a server for an update. Once I get that I can significantly reduce the variables here. Then the search is on I guess. But yes, most of this should be scriptable. Conveniently I think my router just took a crap.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rlewis312010:
Thanks for the response Phydo. Somebody may find it and this becomes POSSIBLY something for the future. UNTIL Moto closes this hole that was used before. Anyway, wish I had those skills, I am ONLY an idea man.:D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Eh, all I have are ideas too. I still have no idea what I'm toying with, but Ill mess around in case I find something. Tomorrow night ill try to figure out the phones update mechanism. That should shed at least a little more light. I think my ISP temp killed my connection before for parallel scanning a bunch of hosts.
