I've just created a thread there, let's hope someone helps us :-)

Do you think we could use the CG37 from other (similar) devices?

For example, as far as i know, the milestone 2 is very similar to the defy and the Pro looks similar too.

We just need it to boot, so we can push the needed files to system.

Have you uploaded your CG37 somewhere, so i can test in on my MS2?

Any word on if this will work on DX 621?

I posted on DXF to see if one of the people who took it will try.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skreelink:
Could it be possible to re-upload the required files? The mediafire link in the OP says it has been removed for violation... I was going to try this method for a DX 621, despite having the 604 root method, it would be nice to actually have the 621 kernel.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PoorCollegeGuy:
Hey there!

I really like this development, even though I don't own a Motorola phone. But I thought this deserved a spot on the Portal:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skreelink:
I am working on this for the DX right now, there's an issue with making the .smg via dd, as the data partition on the DX is 8GBs. Most microSD cards are FAT32, which doesn't support an 8GB file (4GB max filesize). I got around this by piping dd through gzip and moving the file off for testing.

You can follow my progress on this over on rootzwiki; rootzwiki.com/topic/19318-important-information-regarding-621-system-update/page__st__320#entry635557

What phones and respective sbfs has this been tested with?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rodrigojfuentes:
It has been proved by many people and me on the european/southamerican version of the Motorola Droid Pro (Motorola Pro in these places), with 2.3.6 SBFs
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tschirno:
I downloaded the CG37.smg. I have not changed the file because it already has the size of 200 MB.

If I want to flash the file under LInux with SBF_Flash, I get the error message:

sudo / sbf_flash -r --userdata CG37.smg

..

cg64 mbr ...

...

cg37 .. userdata

===CG37.smg ===

Unable to parse header sbf.

Usage: sbf_flash <filename>

Have I missed something?

--------

update:

after several attempts and a new sbf_flash, the 200MB file is now too large

e2fsck tells me that the file is 200MB in size

Now I am a little confused???

---------

update:

after I have reduced the CG37.smg to 150MB, sbf_flash tells me no error message regarding the size. The flash process will not continue.

Milestone 2 A953 (Europe/Germany) with Retail Latin American R01 Android 2.3.6
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skelente:
Skreelink saw the same error using the Droid X. I tried it and also got an error issuing an erase with CG37. However, when I extracted the SBF and flashed something already in the SBF (like recovery) it went through with no issues. Same goes for a regular SBF flash. I suspect the RDL file simply does not contain the command to erase CG37, as SBFing does not wipe the userdata regularly. I would have thought the XT610 (Droid Pro) would be the same, but I haven't had a chance to download the SBF they're going off of to see.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skreelink:
Maybe inject the RDL from the XT610 into a Droid X SBF and retry it? If that might give the erase to CG37.

depositfiles.com/files/k7mf26dke

I uploaded a gzipped copy of a rooted 604 (Milestone X rootable system that has the same bootloader as 621 DX) clean install with prop edited. Gzip is 56MB compressed, 6.6GB Deflated, 200M resize works, barely. Just incase anyone else is testing it. :)

Note; It took me a good long while and a few attempts to do this... Lots of internal data is awesome, but a FAT32 16GB microSD can't handle a 6.6GB file ;) good ol' filesize limit, had to pipe through gzip.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tschirno:
I do not know if I make a mistake. I Ubuntu 11.10 / ext4 format, and check with e2fsck the userData. Then I shrink with resize2fs to 200M. But sbf_flash means the the file is too large.

Does it matter which user data will be? Which smartphone (droid, droid2, droid2global), which version (2.3.4 / 2.3.6)?

is there a possibility the file "CG37.smg" to pack in with the image and adjust the header information
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skreelink:
A way to get onto rooted 621 with 621 kernel has successfully been done. Thanks to a ky41083 on rootzwiki I am on stock 621 rooted from a fresh 621 sbf. It seems like it can be added to rom flashes as well.

rootzwiki.com/topic/19318-important-information-regarding-621-system-update/page__st__320#entry645355

My post confirming with summary instructions. Now tthis thread can kind of stop being DX specific ;p to my knowledge, no other person has done this yet. I am the first. Ky41083 never put 621 system back on their dx, just a 605 restore.

Just gotta make 621 rooting a bit more automated/easier.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skreelink:
Always showing roaming, I would think a wrong PRL. Although ROM flashing shouldn't touch the PRL or any radio settings for data/phone. What carrier do you use? Also, do you have any experience with QPST or CDMA Workshop?

anyone has tried to root motorola xt303 ???

im from mexico cant find a sbf file for this phone.. can sombody help me??

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SaurusM3:
(I know I'm way late to the party here.)

Why not just bypass the SD card altogether:

cd <folder>
adb pull /system/userdata > CG37.smg
chmod +x sbf_flash
./sbf_flash -r --userdata CG37.smg ORIGINAL.sbf
bash finishroot.sh

Should work, but someone should explain what finishroot.sh is supposed to do.

I should point out that this method will work only for phones whose .sbf contains a defined CG37 (userdata) partition. MB525 Defy and MB611 Cliq 2, for instance, do not.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bovisfeldt:
*** Short version: ***

I seemed to have softbricked my (Europe version) P1000 while attempting to install CWM on an original firmware.

Installed CWM from rommanager, which gave me a list with versions of it to choose from.

There was only AT&T and VZN versions available (no Euro version), but i read on a blog that VZN was compatible with the Euro version.

Installed that one and - booom!

... Now device only boots up in normal android recovery (or download mode, if chosen).

If I chose "reboot" from the menu here, it is stuck at the Android-with-exclamation-sign.

It is possible to enter download mode, and there is a link from Odin on WinXp to the device.

What to do? Can this be repaired?

Any help or pointer is greatly appriciated.

- Thanks in advance.

--------

*** Longer but explaining version: ***

I wanted to flash my (Euro) galaxy tab with overcome rom, but all the guides i found required CWM to be installed

Therefore i installed rom manager and tried to install CWM from there.

I was prompted to confirm my device, but no European version of CWM could be chosen.

Therefore i chose VZN version, which supposedly was compatible (as i read on some blog).

After installing, but still in rom manager i tried to "reboot into CWM".

It the CWM was somewhat odd, when i went up and down in the menu, the screen went blank at every second item.

... so i chosed "Reboot" hoping it was temporary.

Now device boots into NORMAL android recovery every time, unless i press power+down, then it enteres download mode.

I have downloaded the GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip from the overcome site, thinking that reflashing the device with this might clear the problem

... But i thought i would ask someone smarter this time, as i am not sure how these images work.

In essence, i am not sure if it is a bootloader outside the image that is broken, or if it is the image.

In essence: I am unsure on how to proceed. I can not find any posts with other people trying to recover softbricking from installing CWM.

Any help or pointers Is greatly appriciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowman74:
Well you have everything you need just flash the stock GB using Odin. And then follow overcome's guide to root it.

You should be all set after that.

Best of luck.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bovisfeldt:
Works!

Thanks a lot. It works perfectly.

If anyone is doing the same, do as follows:

- Download the file 001001-GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip from somewhere on the net (google it). It contains an image, the flashing program Odin as well as modem files and other stuff.

- Run Odin

- Connect cable to tablet

- Press power+down on tablet to turn it on in download mode

- Make sure your modem drivers work (a com-port shows up yellow)

- Click on the “PIT” button, and look for the following file “gt-p1000_mr.pit”

- Click the “PDA” button, and select the “GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar” file.

- There is difference in modems in different parts of the world. Assuming you are European, press "Phone" and find the "JPZ Modem" file.

Make sure that the settings "Re-partition", "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" is set.

Press "Start"

Ps. Thanks a lot for the answer. Is there anyway to close the thread, or should it be left open?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Dude that file and all info you need (which you should have read in first place) are all on this site and was posted directly to here by the devs.

You like many other n00bs just read some ****ty blog on some other newbies site and just flash any old crap to your device and expect it to work.

In future do some research and have patience before trying to mess with a device otherwise you may actually really "brick" your device next time.

Think maybe your charging port is loose? Or you wall just needs that much juice?
[EVO 4G General] plainjane:
It could also be your usb cable. I have one that charges so slowly that it'll sometimes loose battery while charging. Nothing like that though, that's bad. I'd check to see if the port is loose (you'll be able to wiggle the cable in the port pretty freely). If that's not it, try out a new cable. Also realize that there is a possibility that if the port feels loose, it could still be the cable. I thought for a long time that the port on mine was loose, but it turned out to be the cable.
[EVO 4G General] mbaseball3:
Yeah i havent figured it out. Pretty sure its between the fleabay cable and possibly fudged up port. Said da hell with it all and got one of those in wall battery docks. For a temp fix, its worked.

I know hat there is already a thread about this, and i posted there something that i tought it resolved the issue, but in fact it did not. :mad:

When i'm playing music outside of the google play music and press pause, either trough the status bar or the widget, sometimes the status bar controls stay there, which is what i want since sometimes you just want to pause the music for a couple of seconds, but most of the time they just vanish and i have to go to the music player to contiue the song.

This happened on CM9 and now i'm back to stock 4.0.4 and the issue still persists.

Does anybody know a fix for this?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
I haven't had the controls vanish while using the phone but it gets closed pretty quickly by the system when your phone is in standby. I think it's because the player is holding a wake lock which would drain your battery if you'd forget the player is still on pause.

I use the widget as a workaround to quickly start the music again since it remembers the last song and position.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergioosvaldo1:
Yes! They go away once you enter the play music app. I know its a drag, but I get used to it now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7unk3r:
Thanks for the responses, i know that when you are on the music app it goes away and that i could hold wake lock and drain the batery, but that is useful when you going to see a video for example or respond to e-mail and want to concentrate, them you could pause the music, do whatever you gotta do and then play the music without ever leaving to the home screen.

Hey troll nobody is complaing here, it is jut a freaking question, if you cant help shut up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daern:
Same applies with the lock screen controls - when you pause, quite often the controls will mysteriously vanish and leave you having to wade back into the music app (which is quite a pain). Wonder if it's a memory management issue - i.e. if the music app is no longer playing, we can recycle it

Oh, as for your comment - if you can't post anything helpful, best to leave this to the big boys ;)

Hey man first thanks for your comment, this guy just seems to be troling a lot of post lately.
