Try flashing sbf and see if you still have the problem. If you do, your battery is probably toast.

Sent from my MB526
[Bravo General] Parcae:
I worry about flashing when the phone only has 11% battery left. Would the dead battery explain the phone's refusal to show up as external storage? I had assumed that there was probably some kind of problem with the USB connection.
[Bravo General] Parcae:
OK, battery managed to climb to 74% when plugged in and switched off overnight. Will flash later tonight. Thanks again.
[Bravo General] Parcae:
OK, I tried flashing the SBF. I got a Failed message in RSDlite and now the bootloader says Code Corrupt. How screwed am I?

EDIT: I can't hard reset either, it just goes to the bootloader screen. RSDlite doesn't recognize the phone any more.
[Bravo General] t1nk_2:
Does the bootloader screen indicate a usb connection?
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
You're not completely screwed yet. You still have the option of using a Linux Live environment and using the linux sbf_flash tool to flash the phone. Here's a link with a very basic tutorial. That link is for if you already have a working linux box...but the commands are the same. I've had to use sbf_flash in the past because RSD quit recoginzing my phone after an accidental Defy bootloader flash. Now I use sbf_flash exclusively since its easier for me (RSD requires me to reboot into windows...).

Go here and download a live cd, I recommend either cinnamon or xfce in 64bit if you have a 64bit processor

either burn it to a cd or use this tool to make a bootable usb drive

download the linux sbf_flash in the link above and place it and the sbf in the root directory of your Window's C drive (or primary win drive)

Reboot into the live environment and mount the Windows Drive (should be as simple as double clicking the icon on the desktop or on the side pane of the file manager)

Open a terminal window and point it to the windows drive (probablly either /media/Windows or /mnt/Windows)

once there, run su

then run ./sbf_flash name_of_bravo_sbf.sbf and :fingers-crossed:

If you run into any problems, post here or PM me.

//This just reminded me to add sbf_flash back into my $HOME/bin directory (if you run linux ya know what I'm talking about)
[Bravo General] Dr. Orange:
+1 on using Linux to flash sbf. Easier and works every time. :thumbup: Tried using rsd last time and it wouldn't find my phone. Booted up Mint:kde and a couple of downloads, terminal commands, and 2 minutes later my phone was back to stock.
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
Excellent, this post be a thread for those having this kind of problems.

Create a thread with it or with your premission I could create it (of course saying its all thanks to you)

The idea is helping others and these steps are a big tuto to bring our bravo back!

Maybe I could have this problem in the future and dont know where to find it and maybe you are working. :D
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Go ahead and make it, I don't have any problem with that. In all reality we need a new tutorial post with updated links, information, etc. A lot has changed since those were written (new 2nd-init version, CM10\custom kernels, add in a big red warning about BravoX Recovery).

//I'm still a bit pissed off that I bought BravoX Recovery and Defy 2nd-init being released the next day

No audio through headphone jack 4.1.1

Hi. I installed JB 4.1.1 CyanogenMod 10-20120912-NIGHTLY- MB520 on Bravo MB520. Apart from the netflix issue because of a codec, there is no audio through the headphone jack at all. The speaker for the phone works perfect though. I reflashed the ROM just in case but same issue. Any ideas? I don't mind being a tester, just guide me, i'm a nood in this field :angel:
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
CM10 on the Bravo is hit or miss -- you can either flash the build you picked, my PA, or Quarx's 526 2nd Kernel Rom (http://quarx2k.ru) - recommended if you can iive with its "bugs". 2nd-Kernel bugs are no photo camera (video and panorama works) and the capacitive buttons acts like there are 4 instead of 3. To use 2nd-kernel roms on the Bravo, all you have to do is take /system/etc/mot_ise_imager_cfg.bin from ANY Bravo rom and replace. There's also some build.prop branding you could do -- replace all jordan with kobe in first 20 lines\same with mb526 and mb520\ and some camera strings on the bottom -- change to classA and remove the led flash strings. You don't have to bother with the build.prop -- I didn't and it hasn't mattered.

(The "bugs" are from having to use the Defy+ Devtree -- I can't get the Bravo devtree to boot.)

If you're going for a pure music experience, then flash CM7\MIUI -- CM10 DSPManager doesn't work properly (don't delete it, its required for 3rd Party apps to have DSP\Equalizer).

//Not sure what you're actual problem is.

Bravo - CM9 - no network

HI Guys..

I'm very new to this forum. Recently I have flash my bravo using CM9.. since then phone not detecting any signal..I have change sim card few times ..still not working..

is there any thing i should do or tweak?

and I can't install CM 7 version also..:( .. no matter how hard i try it will stop at CM 7 bootloop...:confused:
[Bravo General] lemmycv:
Your going to have to reinstall stock then go to cm7

Your going to have to reinstall stock then go to cm7. I had the exact issue with cm7 and cm9 before. I personally believe (and no I'm not a developer) its dependent on the stock software. Follow this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035778 in order to go back to stock ATT. Then root, CWM (clockworkmod or recovery) then flash to cm7 or cm9. :D
[Bravo General] bimalnp4me:
resolved..

Thanks for the reply..

I's an permission issue..it's resolved after fixing permission on /data using ADB.. Thanks for the help..
[Bravo General] kevins547:
after i flashed CM10 new buil, i can not install any apps in Play store :(

help me
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
What exactly was the permission issue? Seeing as this will be a common issue from now on, would you please post your fix.

@kevins547

There's no need to post a question in 3 threads, one of which you created. It'll be answered by one of us eventually. BTW, its already been answered.

@everyone

About half the help posts I respond to, I use this to find the solution. For the rest, see that screenshot below??? Well, I go to the place around the blue circle and find what I need in the red circle...That works for 90% of my problems I have, the rest I either have to figure it out or wait on Quarx\Epsylon\A Good Dev to figure it out.

I only say this because every question I've answered in the past few days has already been asked and answered already -- usually with better answers than what I'll type. I don't mind answering questions, but when all I do is what's mentioned above, so can everyone else. Sounds like I'm being an ass, but I'm not -- Just giving out the best advise you can have for the Bravo on XDA. (Search XDA, Search Defy Forums)
[Bravo General] xXLostsoul111Xx:
I am gonna take the risk of posting my problem here... I have been searching for a while on the forums to no avail.

I had a friend, root and flash my phone with CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY back on September. He then instructed me to flash the newer build and I flashed CM10-20121226. Now the phone is constantly rebooting and claims the internal storage is full. I have Factory reset and wipe Dalvik Cache from CWM like 10 times and nothing new.

EDIT: @skeevy420, I've noticed that you posted a "UNOFFICIAL" version of CM10 using Blechd0se's kernel in another thread. If I flash it, would having that kernel cause any problems when trying other roms?
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Internal storage is a big issue on new CM10 roms -- we only have 300mb of space for our /system partition and CM10+Full Gapps > 300mb. I'm gonna just assume ya didn't know that and installed with full gapps, if so, just reinstall the rom with a minimal gapps package. I've been using the one from here and don't have any space issues (I also rebuild the JustinBean Inveted JB Gapps Packs as well, but I've never asked for permission to redistribute their hard work, so don't ask). I'll ask permission when the time is ready :cool:.

If you flashed the rom I posted you won't have any issues when changing roms -- the kernel is wiped when a new rom is installed. Although I'd wait about 5 hours, maybe less, since I just started a new compile with some fixes to the Blechd0se's default config for Bravo -- it was compiled with Quarx's defconfig with Blechd0se's sources (also testing volume keys down below as well).

And on the risk of posting here...a lot of the questions asked here have already been answered over on the Defy Forums -- We share something like 99% of the same code with them, hardware as well. Their devs are our devs. If people would spend a 20-30 minutes a week reading Quarx's CM threads they wouldn't go all :confused: :mad: :o :fingers-crossed: :D when something unexpected happens. That's all. (I was also having a really bad day when I posted that)

Perhaps a few of us here could write up a Bravo Wiki? We need it.
[Bravo General] xXLostsoul111Xx:
I figured we had limited space so I re-flashed the minimal pack provided by Quarx Here. It still claims the internal storage is full. It doesn't allow me to install ANY apps from market or from .apk. Out of nowhere now on CWM the phone gives me messages like:

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

And it claims I have full internal storage, can't install titanium nor any other app, it reboots from time to time and it loses all settings every time.

Unrelated question: I have been lurking the Defy thread before I made an account, do you know the if there's problems with flashing rooms made for MB526 to a MB525? It's just my friend flashed his Defy with Defy+ roms because they were "more" up to date and then the phone started getting crazy.

Edit: I was checking if you posted the new build you said you were working on and saw Defy Ultimate Wipe, if worse come to worse, would that be able to help me clear my internal storage? I noticed that I must install a rom without rebooting or I'll be dead but I am just wondering.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
New build had an misfortunate accident -- I was in a hurry and forgot to commit my changes before syncing and building the rom...just fixed it and its compiling again.

There can be issues when flashing Plus roms on a Defy -- Plus has a different camera driver, battery driver, and some other differences as well. If the Defy is a red lens, then you'll only have battery issues unless you add in /system/bin/battd from Moto Froyo (the custom kernel roms have a unified battd and I suspect CM7 will shortly). Hopefully your friend figured out that "more" up to date isn't always the best; or at least not for your phone :p (and that's coming from someone who's ported a lot of roms from other systems; not all worked or even booted; thought I bricked a few times)

As for Defy Ultimate Wipe -- it might,

just flash a rom as soon as its done

. If that doesn't work then sbf the phone and start over. A reset once and a while doesn't hurt and can be a good thing if you're a rom junkie.

Just read your post a bit closer and it sounds like your /data is corrupted somehow. It happens. If you're on CM10, go to the bootmenu and format /data and /cache to either ext3 or 4, it really doesn't matter which one if you're staying on CM10; ext3 if you plan on going back to CM7....sbf if that doesn't work.
[Bravo General] xXLostsoul111Xx:
@skeevy420, Thanks for the quick response :)

My friend's Defy is a Green lens, I'll be tinkering with it soon since it also suffered from the earpiece problem like many models.

I will try your suggestions and report back soon. I need to venture a little more into working with roms.
[Bravo General] xXLostsoul111Xx:
My bravo is stable with the latest CM 10 build by Quarx. Thanks for all the help Skeevy420.

I ended up sbf the phone and starting from scratch.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Its what I do. Sometimes sbf is the quicker fix.

Blechd0se's kernel currently not compiling - he's in the middle of adding new features.

Got a bit done yesterday - Tweaking the boot menu for Blechd0se's kernel. It has more governors that can't be picked there. Making a new directory for io schedules and tweaks for them. Gonna update Quarx's boot menu as well. Doing Blechd0se's first since it has a lot more features.
[Bravo General] xXLostsoul111Xx:
Good. Will be looking forward to this build. I finally managed to post 10 times so I can follow better on the development thread!

3g problem

Hii!!

I have got Motorola bravo since a month from USA,

Unlocked via Skype from at&t for free,

Installed cm 10 android 4.1.1,

From the beggining of usage i. e. Stock 2.2 and now 4.1,

I am not getting 3g signal at all,

I live in India and use tata DoCoMo as carrier,

Before this phone i was using Samsung f480 with 3g frequency of

850/2100mhz ...

Please help me to get 3g signal..

I used defy baseband switcher but it didn't help...

Please

Help me!! : ((
[Bravo General] josuearisty:
Bravo frequencies are 850/1900mhz, you can change baseband switcher to argentina - claro to make it work if your carrier uses one of those frequencies.
[Bravo General] deep363:
please

after 2 days research i found that india and my carrier uses 900/1800 Mhz ,

can you help me with this ....

please....

one more question: is it possible that At&t only gave me unlock code to unlock GSM and not 3G???

please reply...
[Bravo General] Dr. Orange:
I don't think the Defy Baseband Switcher that comes with the cm roms has a 900/1800 baseband. Someone else was having the same problem and needed 900/1800 baseband, But bravo operates on 850 or 900/1700/1900 or 2100.

Current ROM: CM7.2 Euroskank Cherry Picks | Bravo port
[Bravo General] jsnjack:
My carrier uses 900/1800 Mhz too, but I found that 900 MHz works just fine :) If you really need this frequencies, you can ask guys here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1052745 to add it.
[Bravo General] deep363:
please help

hii,

I cannot post there due to low post...

i have found a file(attached below) but on installation via custom recovery (cm 10, 4.1.1) it says as follows:

installing update...

amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

amend scriptind was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.

it was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

installation aborted.

this attachment might work for me but i am not able to install please help...

need someones help...

please..
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Looks like it just uses the old scripting, give some time and I'll up a fixed one. I have things to do today, but it'll be up by this evening.

EDIT -- Open the zip, navigate to META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, and delete everything there (one line) and use this.

mount("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk1p21", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/etc/motorola");

Con el rom manager no se puede, no soporta el bravo ni el defy creo, que es de donde viene nuestro port.

Cual fue el recovery que instalaste? en 2nd init recovery installer te presenta dos alternativas de recovery y hay uno que dice algo como (recomendable para CM).

Haz todo desde el principio e instala ese, si es ese que tienes instalado pues instala el otro.

Turn on the phone pressing power+vol down, then when recovery enters, press vol down + vol up buttons.

U

Forgot to tell you to replace/add the update binary. The binary in any cm7 on up should work. Just delete the META-INF folder,

drop in a cm7 or up META-INF, and use script I posted earlier

Provided you have adb

Extract zip, open terminal to its /etc

adb push motorola /system/etc

adb shell chmod -r 0644 /system/etc/motorola

adb reboot

Adb method only takes 30 seconds, not including reboot :p
[Bravo General] deep363:
thanks

Thanks for the help, i made the zip file to work and successful installation was done,

but still didnt get 3g to work that's just my bad luck..

Can it happen that at&t only unlocked my 2g and not my 3g?

And didnt understand the adb method, is it necessary for the installation??

If yes can you explain it in somewhat detail...
