Haha to funny woodrube. I hope you ate that and didn't waste it. ;) all in all tho I played with ics a lil bit on my nexus and its pretty sweet. I really like the new youtube app and browser. It was still pretty smooth for being a sdk port. I'm sure you guys will see it before long. The only thing I'm afraid of is the RAM situation. If they get it on the og Droid you guys will get it for sure.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Hi.

J.Y.Daddy is working on a ics port so don't ever say never.

ICS keyboard! :)

Hey guys,

Another ICS goodie that works great on our phones! :D

The keyboard is great! prediction is better than gingerbread's imo.

I wish we could change the size of the keyboard though

[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
i was thinking.... if they were able to make ICS run on the Nexus ONE, shouldn't we be able to get it working for the XT720 as well?

both phones are from the same era
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Nexus one has 512mb. XT720 is OG Droid era, really.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Yes it can done the challenge is ram management right know I'm running miui android 4.01 no problems at all.

I see a galnet MIUI port here :

although I can't download it... :S
[Milestone XT720 General] JiroPrinz8:
Here it is. http://www.multiupload.com/QYNV8ZGAFH

Guys over at the Captivate threads are using this and seems stable. Although i haven't tried so don't take my word for it.

Oh and btw, this is MIUI tweaked to look like ICS.. Not the actual thing.

[Milestone XT720 General] AA1973:
Correct! I already used it but got problems with the microphone in call. Is this fixed?

It is the port of German MIUI site and android-hilfe.de, KoStoM edition.

It is based on the 4.01 framework.

@mchlbenner do you have problems with calling that people can't hear you?

[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
from what i've read an understand it seems more like a CM7 2.3.7 build with ICS themes on top using MIUI, it's not quite a real ICS 4.x build

unless i'm reading it wrong
[Milestone XT720 General] JiroPrinz8:

[Milestone XT720 General] AA1973:
which one do you mean? This one?

MIUI 1.10.28 - 4.0.1 FW - DE/EN - KoStoM Edition, 4.0.1 Framework (THX an Sakaschi)

I said 4.01 framework, not ICS build

on Galnet, they also speak of framework...

GalnetMIUI - ICS BUILDS – 1.11.9To mark our new partnership with XIAHOST.com and to mark our success at merging ICS with MIUI frameworks we have officially taking it on board to support all 17 official MIUI China Roms. We will be supporting all 17 roms from now on, and better still our stable builds will now include the ICS framework as standard.

Or do you mean that one: this one is clearly a CM7 with ICS layout and a bit of MIUI

[Milestone XT720 General] JiroPrinz8:
For now, this is as close as i get to ICS.. :D
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
I don't know if you guys saw but they got ICS running in the G1 so there may be hope after all. :) it ran really slow though. But your specs are better and there was no hw acceleration on the video I saw. Once they release CM9 you guys should be fine. They got lots of tricks up there sleeves.

Sent from my Nexus S running super fast on Brainmaster's Tweaked ICS Mix v5 with the awesome Franco kernel!!
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
G1 and HD2 as in HTC HD2 that was running Windows Mobile 6, even that piece of antique that went through all kind of OS, were able to get a ICS 4.0 port

imagine that! :D

if they can, we most surely can, however it might be limited to our locked bootloader?
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
officially just Moto Razr and Galaxy Nexus
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Motor Razr doesn't have ICS. They have a "Motorola sales/PR promise" for sometime next year.
[Milestone XT720 General] S7icky:
lol i wonder if anything is really gonna change about moto since google snagged it up
[Milestone XT720 General] bramblyrose:
Well,I think Windows phone is more lovely than android,lol...
[Milestone XT720 General] DavidT3:
Considering that somebody has got ICS running on the G1 and on the LG optimus GT540, you would hope that we should be able to get it. It actually ran surprisingly well on the GT540 from what I could see in the video, so there is hope. And don't worry everyone, the Razr is getting ICS, I've used it with it on. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Biker1bob:
HELP...

I flashed the miuiscotland_Captivate-1.11.9-ICS and now I cant even get back into OR.. or bootloader..

Why would this happen? any help?

CRAP.. have to stop fooling around like this.

James

Let it sit for a bit, tried bootloader, and got in.. and computer shows motorola flash interface..

Are there threads on how to recover from this??
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Don't panic. Your only option is to flash stock Motorola sbf using RSD Lite or sbf_flash (unless you're running modxt720.sbf). Then root, install OR and restore your nandroid.
[Milestone XT720 General] Biker1bob:
ok working on this now..

My question is .. why did this happen?? do these two UPDATES? not work??

I updated - deleted and factory reset.. and never did get it to boot.. this is my result.

Now I am putting on the brightpoint SBF - will this LOCK my phone now?? do I have to get the unlock # again???

Damm
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Well for one not all MIUI's are created equal. Tigerwander's MIUI is a port, which means he took parts and "converted" them to work on our phone's. It isn't always possible to do this. You do see it more on phones of similar manufactures, like the Vibrant (sgh-t959) and the Capitivate (I-9000) and Galaxy Nexus (sgh-t989). All Samsung models so the general behavior is similar to each other where as none of them are remotely close to HTC or Motorola.

Which leads me to another answer. The MIUI that you flashed was for the Samsung Captivate (I-9000) which is the ATT version of the Vibrant (Verizon's is called the Facinate). I am fairly certain that all of those MIUIs use Froyo bootloaders and Froyo kernels, while some use GB BL's and kernels. If you can get this back working, consider yourself extremely lucky, that the flash didn't trip the e-fuse chip that locks our XT's bootloaders into the Eclair kernel and you would have found the one and almost only way to BRICK the XT720.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I don't think it will lock your phone. For example I've flashed non-Cincinnati Bell sbf's and my phone's always stayed locked to Cincinnati Bell and it's never rejected my Cincinnati Bell SIM. So, I think the lock info isn't touched by the sbf's we've seen.

As for why this happens--why you can't get back into OR--it's because we can't install custom recoveries because of Motorola's signature checks. So openrecovery is actually a regular boot. There is a hijacked sh binary we use that diverts normal boot to open recovery (this is called a bootstrapped recovery). If that binary is missing/damaged you're out of luck unless you can boot fully to android and repair it.

OpenRecoveryXT720 has a menu option you can use to manually reinstall the bootstrap before you reboot if you're not sure if a particular update is going to work.

The modxt720.sbf is special because there is an additional exploit that lets you also enter OpenRecovery via stock recovery. But some ROMs may have trouble with it's partitioning (/system is smaller--too small infact to fit stock 2.1). Also sensors are deranged. But it has larger /data and the recovery exploit...
[Milestone XT720 General] iblakejames:
ICS on the xt720?

will the xt720 ever get a taste of ics? ics has to have at least 512mb of ram, the xt720 has that but u can make it faster by overclocking the xt720 to the maximum 780mb ram..... so can it be ported when CM9 releases?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
XT720 has 256mb RAM
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Most likely but when not for a long nothing to port from.
[Milestone XT720 General] iblakejames:
i had no idea that the milestone only had 256, for some reason when i put miui on it, it now runs faster then ever and it says it has 512mb of ram, does miui overclock automatticaly????
[Milestone XT720 General] acrobat69:
Waaaiiiiittaminute...you can't "overclock" RAM from 256mb to 512mb.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Can you run "cat /proc/meminfo" and "uname -a" and post the output? It's a long shot but there used to be claims that Motorola was going to enable 512mb via a software update. I could never find a reliable source for those rumors and nobody's posted good motherboard photos... I think the best we have are some lowres Motoroi photos.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
Wow! that would be very cool if that was real

hidden power under the hood, who would have though :D

duplicated topics merged
[Milestone XT720 General] acrobat69:
If it were real, it would make me want to actually keep this damn thing instead of hurling it at a brick wall.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
common the phone is amazing for what it is, there's nothing wrong with it

it actually performs great! with either of the CM7 or CM6 ROMs (compared to stock)

you can't really expect this 2~3 year old phone to outperform todays phone
[Milestone XT720 General] acrobat69:
No, but I can certainly it to outperform my old Optimus One that retailed for a third if the price, but it has not yet done that thru all these extra tricks etc. And my Optimus runs CM7 perfectly no extra work needed. Picture and video quality on par and sometimes better, from a camera marketed as 3.2mp vs one sold as 8mp.

Coupled with Winds spotty (and outright horrible in buildings) service, forgive me if I'm a little underwhelmed lol

But Ill live, I mean at least its relatively stable now...and it looks sexier than the LG so there's that.. ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
not sure if you meant LG Optimus Black P970 or LG Optimus 2X

but both of those phones are way above the XT720 when those were released

because i've never seen the LG Optimus P509 in Wind store

however from your description only the LG Optimus P509 matches, that's not bad actually, since it was an official Tmo phone, it gained more support than the XT720 which Tmo didn't pick up
[Milestone XT720 General] acrobat69:
Nah dude, I mean the LG Optimus One. P500.

It's old, small, low processor speed (can o/c to about 800 stable, tho) and the XT should be way more of a phone, yet it's not, really. As I said, I got CM7 up and running on it first try and it's been on it ever since. I still use it to do stuff over WiFi when my XT is giving me grief or is charging. Haven't had to re-flash, tweak, do anything, really. I only overclocked it to see what I could get away with. Way better battery, too, and I have a live wallpaper running on it.

The big difference, of course, is that LG had the sense to put 512mb RAM on it. Motorola really f***d up that one, seriously.

Shrug.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
alright guys, chill out

and lets go back on topic... so yes the limited RAM on the XT720 will make it a huge challenge

but if what Mioz mentioned on another post said might or might not be true about hidden RAM, we might actually be able to pull it off, as shown by the MIUI ROM

but again that could be a typo by the MIUI ROM

even if that happens to be not true in the end

we might still be able to port a really trimmed down version of CM9 to our phones but running on the Gingerbread core with the ICS features or something along the line
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Your right back on topic milestone has an early cm9 what needs to be done for it too bootup on are phone.

[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
I feel ram would not be the issue I don't think that we don't have anyone that could port it to are phone with J.YDaddy gone.

The milestone has it now .
[Milestone XT720 General] iblakejames:
i had no idea J.Y Daddy was gone, but someone else has to know a way, maybe use the bootfix with the milestone version of cm9? it might work if somehow we can 'trick' it into thinking its a milestone....
[Milestone XT720 General] peshovec:
i had dig in the ti.com and as i remember we have physical 256..

but anyway, i remember the times when xt720 have spec of 512, then 256 RAM etc...

1. http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/HOWTO_Support_512MB_SDRAM

which is basically patch over omap kernel to deal with more than 256 RAM

2. http://review.omapzoom.org/#change,1133

is the merged patch (november 2009).

Did not check if the patch is in our signed kernel, if not we can try to patch it, and fastboot it (we have to pass mem=512M too)

sadly, when i was playing with the kernel build, the kernel never boots (but the modules was working fine), so i am i supposed to miss something. Lucky other have success with fastbooting kernel, so the test can be made

motherboard photos

Hey, don't know if these would be of any help, but stumbled across them, head on over to this site which gives pics of a tear-down of the phone:

http://www.wirelessgoodness.com/201...s-tablet-aka-xt720-gets-torn-down-on-the-fcc/
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Those look like they're from the Motoroi XT720 (the biggest hint is the TDMB port which is missong on Milestone XT720). I just got a dead XT720 off CL and I'm disassembling it to hopefully answer this once and for all. I've gotten the mainboards out, but I'm not sure the best way to remove the RF shields. Does anyone have experience/suggestions with this? Do you just hit it with a soldering iron?

Edit: Not sure if heat from a soldering iron will damage things, but the shields are very soft and there are holes so I'm doing this mechanically by snipping/cutting/pealing.

Edit 2: Got all except for some small ones off. Attached are the Motoroi images from the FCC (white background) and mine from a Milestone XT720 (brown/gray background). There are differences. For example on the one side we have an extra chip. I'll make better pictures and a more detailed post but just for the curious.

TOP

Motoroi XT720:

Milestone XT720:

BOTTOM

Motoroi XT720:

Milestone XT720:

What I'm noticing is an extra chip is the one closest to the bottom of this picture ^^^. There's only one empty chip spot in that block on Milestone but two empty chip blocks on the Motoroi. Sorry about the difference in rotation.

Edit 3: The Motoroi XT720 pcb shots on droid-developers.org look more like ours than the FCC one. It also has that other chip. http://www.droid-developers.org/images/4/4c/Xt720-internal_2.jpg I'm pretty sure that's Motoroi over there because we're missing the attachment point for the TV antenna but that one has it.

Edit 4: That extra chip is for the broadband (umts)

Edit 5: Well, it looks like the way these things are done is the cpu/ram etc are all packaged into a "package on package" IC so I don't think there's any way to see them. I think there's a huge custom Toshiba chip on the top--at least I think that's a toshiba logo that replaces the "hynix" one. I'm guessing that's probably where it's all hiding...
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Hm, I looked at those patches (and the ones for .29). They're not included in our tree, but also I think those patches seem quite involved (and possibly not even for our board: we're sholes not zoom2 so there are probably very big differences). It might be better to look at how 512mb support was added to defy. But after reading all the things involved to support 512MB RAM on OMAP, it seems discouraging. It's definitely not like adding more ram to a desktop :(. So I guess it was froyo that added support for 512mb RAM? Was Nexus One the first one with 512mb? Well N1 wasn't OMAP so probably that doesn't matter anyway... Ok, I'm finished with this for now--I now know that (1) looking at the PCB can't really answer how much RAM was installed and (2) there's no quick way to get a kernel that would tell us either because my understanding now is that these things aren't probed like they are on desktops they have to be configured by hand--which I'd guess requires already knowing the hardware. I'll get back to working on the fm radio. When I saw that broken XT720 on craigslist, I just had to jump on the opportunity to tear one of these to pieces ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] tiger2wander:
@Mioze7Ae: If you got broken XT720 then you can try with Faul Test to break down RSA encrypt: http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/09/1024-bit-rsa-encryption-cracked-by-carefully-starving-cpu-of-ele/

Strong days!
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I don't think that applies.

There's actually no encrypted data stored on the phone that would help us. What the bootloader does is check a cryptographic hash. Verification of the signature requires a public key and the actual data on the phone (all of which are already available). The private key required to create a new signature is locked away somewhere inside Motorola. So the "secret" we need isn't on the phone.

That attack is to get into encrypted data on a computer. In that case, the "secret" is on the device.
[Milestone XT720 General] tiger2wander:
I think bootloader need to verify that update is valid or not with signature embedded inside it. Because of with only hash values it will not able to allow another update come in the future caused it have not hash of that updates.

WDYT?

I can get one for a slight discount at wm and wanted to know how worth it is a nook color? Is it easy to flash or more difficult than a phone. Just need some opinions. Thanks so much!

Sent from my CM7 Motorola Bravo
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
Basically the easiest thing you can root. Burn an image to your SD card with a couple clicks then drag over a couple files the stick it in and go through the flashing process. Completely unbrickable as long as you dont break the SD slot.

[Nook Color General] zachthepack:
I'm going to go for a refurb with one year warranty and an sd image I have no reason to not get. Getting next week when I get paid. Just curious how is the performance in.cm7? How is 3D performace? Decent over clocking options? Sorry for the questions! Just trying to justify it when i have this phone. This tab is just so cheap and so much development! The answers are appreciated! Thanks so much.

Sent from my CM7 Motorola Bravo
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
I don't know much about 3D performance but with mine overclocked to 1.2GHrz I see no problem or lag with any game I've thrown at it. You can even play the games made for Tera CPUs using Chainfire. Most Nooks overclock to 1.2GHrz just fine.

---------------------------------
[Nook Color General] zachthepack:
Thanks so much! Do you know what you score quadrant? And with sd install its much eaer to revert.of you have issues and need warranty exchange correct?
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Make sure bearing in mind that the NC is a pure e-reader that can be turned into tablet.

Must know that it has no hdmi, no gps, can't make phone call, no camera whatsover, .....
[Nook Color General] zachthepack:
For 150 i can't be picky! Just making sure its worth it. I'll prob just do sd install for safety. Thanks for the help everyone I'm defnitely geting one next week. Is there anything like some models are incompatible with sd boot or anythng? Or if i order a refurb from b&n on ebay will I be all ready to go?
[Nook Color General] votinh:
If you decide to run off the uSD, get the legit Sandisk class 2 or 4
[Nook Color General] zachthepack:
Alright thanks. Would you reccomend actually flashing
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
I would recommend flashing to internal because it is much easier to upgrade, back-up, and troubleshoot. Also it is more stable. Check out the Link in my Sig to get started. You can always return to stock by just making a clockwork card as the Nook has SD boot priority.

---------------------------------
[Nook Color General] zachthepack:
And this will work regaurdless of firmware it comes with? If so i'm all good and look forward to working with all of you
[Nook Color General] koopakid08:
Yes, it works on all firmware versions.

Doesn't take longer than a normal reboot after flashing something. (Or at most, it's slightly longer than normal). Guess you are in a bootloop.
