josuearisty,

wow, for not english speakers users its diffivult to read all this :D

Are you having a problem with the hardware of the phone? With the charging part?

Hi! I was trying to install CM9, from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1595898

I installed CWM, downloaded the filed, checked MD5, installed CM9 and Google Apps.

When I rebooted the phone, it started in stock 2.2, not in CM9, and now, I'm stuck, because market shows a server error, and I can't install non-market apps, GMail and Browser crashes

I tried to SBF to 2.2.1, but RSD lite doesn't work.

Also used sueproneclick to allow non market apps, but doesn't work, and really need help.

Stock recovery shows that "can't open cache/recovery/command" and "can't open cache/recovery/caller"

Thanks

EDIT: Rooted the phone, I can install now non-market apps, but, I need to install a recovery, to flash another rom. Does anybody knows a recovery apk that I can use?

I Tried this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1593005, but when I try to install, a parse error occurs.

I bought this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1047292 but I can't install without play store...
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
You need to install Defy-Sndinit before installing Touch Recovery. There is a link for it in the next thread down. BandroidX Bootstrap is obsolete now. That's why you're getting recovery errors as well.

If you have to flash sbf and RSD won't work then use a Linux live CD and sbf_flash. sbf_flash always works.

I'll post better instructions and links when I get to my PC.
[Bravo General] stereoactivo:
Thanks! A more detailed explanation will be very useful. Now the phone is in a bootloop :(

[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Do a Wipe Data\Factory Reset. (May have to do 2 or 3 times)

Boot up phone holding Volume-Down+Power (It may be Volume Up+Power, been a while since I actually had to do it from stock recovery)

When Yellow Triangle with Green Android appears on screen press Volume Up+Volume Down

Select Wipe Data\Factory Reset

Reboot

Gonna write a better tut for linux\sbf_flash\2nd-Init, just giving fix for stock bootloop. If that doesn't work, you'll have to flash the sbf and start from scratch.
[Bravo General] stereoactivo:
Hi, I already did it at least 10 times, but with no luck, still in bootloop :(

[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Even after flashing the sbf? The worst I ever had to do was flash sbf and wipe data 3 times in a row to fix the phone.

Post with basic Linux\sbf_flash tutorial Only requirements are a blank cd and a usb stick.

I've uploaded sbf_flash as an attachment, just remove the .txt extension before using it.

Also try flashing the fixed sbf (on Quarx2k.ru or My Rom Mirror in my signature) since it only flashes the bootloader\kernel\locked files that roms don't change.

Once you get it working, only use Defy-2ndInit to install recovery, then install Touch Recovery afterwords. Defy-2ndInit is a requirement of Touch Recovery. Touch WILL NOT WORK unless Defy-2ndInit is installed first.

Link to 2ndInit Thread's First Post Download and use the very last Attachment, version 2.3.

Hi, the phone isn't charging... Any idea?

If I connect to charger, a battery with a "?"inside, shows and I can't do nothing, after that, phones shut down.

I can't enter to recovery because it stays in recovery for a small time and after that, the phone shows the battery icon
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Its either a dead battery or a bad battery. Sounds like bad battery from my last 10 minutes of research in the subject.

FOR DEAD BATTERY

Once your battery gets too low and your system isn't installed properly the battery WON'T charge at all. The only options are spending $40 on an OEM Motorola Factory USB Cable or making a Macgyver Battery Cable.

Once either are hooked up you'll be able to flash the sbf and get back to normal. I did a similar hack back in December except I used some speaker wire and a charged battery from my old Razr V3. Worked good enough to flash the sbf.....

FOR BAD BATTERY

Buy a new one, or get it on 5 finger discount, ya know, for three fitty free. Seriously though, if you have access to another battery try it and see if you're able to flash\enter recovery with it.

If you do have a bad battery, the Macgyver cable will allow you to fully use the phone as long as the cable is hooked up. Crappy solution, but its good enough to get back to stock and send it in for warranty, which I doubt you have.
[Bravo General] stereoactivo:
Thanks again for your advice... I tried to connect the phone to my computer using a USB cable, but with this cable, the phone didn't turn on... So I bought a battery charger to charge the battery alone. I will have to ... wait for the battery. I Will post again when I have some updates...

The battery damage is related with all the things that I did to the phone? Or just coincidence?
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Probably just coincidence. I've accidentally flashed Defy bootloaders, soft-bricked with bad tweaks, 100's of sbf flashes (at least 100 by now), and have put my Bravo through hell and haven't had any battery issues except for the one time I let it drain (didn't realize it since I couldn't get it to boot) and tried to flash -- lesson strongly learned there. I had to Macgyver boot my phone with a damaged Razr V3 battery (the only cell phone battery I had that would take a charge).

At the time I lived about 12 miles from the nearest town, roads were iced over, and I woke up with 2 flat tires on the truck with only 1 spare. I needed a phone badly so I did what ever I could to get it to boot. That was the last time I went to bed w\o fixing my phone.
[Bravo General] ccdsatt:
just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else:

you plug your phone to the wall changer and when you press the power button periodically you notice that the percentage keeps going down; its been 3hours and its gone from 82% to 42% while im streaming from iHeartRadio

edit: nothings wrong, a reboot fixed it, just wondering if it happened to anyone else

Wifi issues

Running a CM7 nightly build (the April 10th version) I am having serious issues with wifi. Neither of the wifi networks at my houses are working properly. Connection is being established successfully but following the initial connection, I have less than a minute of actual connection, and then it drops. The wifi icon stays lit, indicating I am still connected to the network, but I have no connectivity on any apps. If I'm in the middle of an update, for example, it just stops, and it won't resume.

I can reset this problem by turning wifi on and off, but the exact same problem arises within a minute. Interestingly, the wifi at a nearby starbucks seemed to be working fine - but both of the networks I am having issues with ran very well on stock android. I don't know what is causing this problem but it is rather troublesome. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

While I'm at it, when I update to the newest CM7 nightly build, do I need to do a complete wipe or can I simply install it on top of the current build? Thank you very much!
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
I'd just update. I didn't have any problems with wifi on the 05\06 build of CM7.

Unless you really need flash and camera, the latest CM9 runs great. The camera sometimes crashes randomly, a reboot fixes. I've used it as my primary rom up until last night actually and highly recommend it.

As far as wiping data and updating is concerned, I've always wiped data in-between rom installs, well, always since the second or third rom flash where I didn't and bad things occured. The problem is that newer system apps still have old data that can be incompatible with the updated system apps. You can try, but it'll probably be glitchy.

What you can do to back up your user apps (not the user data, passwords, etc) by using the following adb commands; Linux users change "C:\app\" to "~/app/" without the apostrophes "".

adb pull /data/app/ C:\app\

Then enable adb in the boot, before first boot.

adb remount

adb push C:\app\ /data/app/

adb shell chmod -R 0644 /data/app/

You can also save the apps to your sdcard instead of your computer by changing "pull" to "cp" and "C:\app" to "/mnt/sdcard/app" for both commands. This is the method I do to back up apps in between flashes (to my pc). I lose configuration data, but that's also where the glitches come from.;)

You can also back up app data by pulling /data/data/, but its not recommend since you need to also delete all system app data from that pull -- system app data & dalvik cache & system cache are the main reasons you need to wipe data between flashes.

The biggest problem we face is that user installed apps and system installed apps share the same folder for storing data. Where it should be something like /data/data/user/ for user apps and /data/data/system/ for system apps, instead its all clusterf**ked into /data/data/. Hope this helps.

@ccdsatt -- not since I ran stock Froyo. Although I had a similar issue running wifi and streaming pandora, playing snes roms, using a ps3 contorller over bt, overclocked to 1200mhz, on an older Defy CM7 Epsy port, all at the same time. Battery still drained even though I was plugged into the charger.:D Found out that the Bravo doesn't like everything running that can be all at once, but it did run smooth...

Does anyone know how to get defy settings to work on CM9 5/26?
[Bravo General] syllogyking:
It doesn't work and gives fc. I mentioned this in the change log.
[Bravo General] bwscott:
I found a way around it by putting baseband switcher and compass calibrator on the lock screen.
[Bravo General] splintnote:
Installed the 5/26 cm9. Has anyone found fix for defy settings force close? Also how do you edit camera sounds? Otherwise haven't really hit too many snags with it.
[Bravo General] syllogyking:
don't know how to fix defy settings. it's there and all its components (i.e. baseband switcher) work, just gives fc when opening from settings menu.

editing camera sounds is tricky, if you don't know what you're doing. i haven't done it myself, but i read somewhere that if you prefer the camera shutter sound on another ics rom, then you can replace the current sound with the other one. i believe it's /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg and /system/media/audio/ui/camera_focus.ogg

make sure to backup the old files, and make sure the new files have the exact same name as the old ones.

CM9 Problems

Hello,

I recently installed the newest version of CM9 with gapps as per instructions, and loaded my backup of /data/app/ from the version of CM7 I was running previously. Everything seemed to be working fine, except one major issue: I cannot send SMS texts. I can receive them fine, I can send/receive phone calls without issue, and I have no problems with data service, but every time I try to send a text message, it fails after just a few seconds. Nothing seems to be fixing this problem.

The second problem I'm having is basically my contacts are messed up in a major way - I was previously syncing my contacts list to gmail, or so I thought, but none of the contacts were properly synced into CM9. Furthermore I made a backup of my CM7 contacts by exporting the contacts on the in-phone menu - but it seems to have ignored the vast majority of my contacts list, as well as created duplicates once loaded into CM9. Is there any good way to save my contacts list from CM7 and move it to CM9? Thank you.
[Bravo General] Dr. Orange:
I'm having the same problem with SMS messages so it's not just one person. Any help at all will be appreciated.

Edit: reflashed cm9, everything is working great. Thanks quarx and skeevy and others for all the awesomeness your pour out for Bravo!:D

Hi, I bought a new battery, and my phone don't turn on with the new battery, I don't know what is happening... the phone still turn on using charger, but not with battery...

Is the mcgyver cable safe to use?

Enviado desde mi DROID2 GLOBAL usando Tapatalk 2
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Yes. I've made similar (very crapily done) ones in the past. Last Winter I started my Bravo with a speaker wire and an old RAZR battery lying around. If your uncomfortable splicing wires, you can buy this instead. Actually, I recommend anyone who reads this to buy one of those if you have a Motorola phone and flash roms (then you won't have to do my speaker wire trick or a hacked cable).

Have you cleaned the battery connections? Could be as simple as that from what it sounds like after a 2nd reading.

Hey guys I'm on the latest Cm9 and for some reason my notifications do not make sound. I've turned the volume to the max but still nothing when I receive SMS or email or anything. Any one else have that problem?

[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Quarx 0526 or Skank Port 0610 ??? If Quarx, only used it for maybe a day and it was working for me, at least the USB notification was. Been on Skank for a long minute and haven't had that problem at all.

/semi rant

Anyone else think the new CM9 ringtone and notification tones annoyingly suck??? The 5 second tone when I plug up to usb is -- suppose that's what Kzurb Sonar is for -- ringtone isn't as bad, but sounds like its supposed to be the chorus verse of a dubstep remix about Cyanogen. At least its not "hello moto", eh.

Hi. I buy Bravo on internet auction, it looks like new, with at&t "txtng&driving" film on screen and locked on at&t. But it come flashed with MIUI-Kobe-2.4.20. It works fine, but for unlocking I flashed stock 2.2.1 SBF. Now phone works normaly 5-15 sec, after that rebooting. What it may be? May be it hardware defect, but with MIUI it somehow workaround, radioband defect for example. And one more thing, in MIUI *#06# d'not display IMEI. I think it seller trick, with MIUI I mean.

I try flashed 2.2.1 SBF two time. I do factory reset/wipe also.

That's simple -- look at josuearisty's post above your last one, the guide with all the tools and instructions is in the 3rd link.

Try downloading baseband switcher, but remember bravo only supports 850/1900mhz for 3G.
