[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wunderkind:
I just want to let motoluxers know that if you experience Gingerbread's usual screen lag. Try out the V6 Supercharge mod. I tried it on my unlocked moto and it showed great improvements. Switching from an app back to homescreen is instantaneous. No screen redraws or lag. I believe you need a rooted phone though.

I can't wait for someway to get custom roms for this phone! So much potential for this little guy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey guys, so I just sent an email to motorola explaining why we want to unlock the bootloader, I suggest you do the same but redact your own email, to make it more of a personal request, but feel free to get any ideas from my email just dont send the same thing :P

I will update you guys when I get a response.

Hello,

My name is [signed with my real name], I recently purchased a Motoluxe xt615, which I really love, but the one thing I don't like about this phone is the fact that the bootloader is locked, which leaves me and a lot of Motoluxe users worldwide incapable of getting the most out of our phone by upgrading the operating system, creating custom system backups or flashing customs ZIPs not signed by Motorola.

I'm contacting you on behalf of a larger amount of Motoluxe users who would like you to help us unlock the bootloader on our phones so we can get the most out of them, and this way solve this matter that has been affecting us for some time now.

I am aware that Motorola got purchased recently by Google, and I understand how enthusiastic both companies are when it comes to open source software, so much that it is the main reason that led Google to firstly create the Android OS, and this way allowing users to take full advantage of the hardware capabilities of their devices.

I also understand that Motorola aims to provide the best user experience to its customers, and allow those more experienced ones to do so as well according to their needs and hardware limits, which we are very aware of, and lead us to consider based on our knowledge that the Motoluxe can perform better and deliver an improved user experience by allowing us to modify its open source OS to our needs.

It is because of this reason that I am sure you will cheerfully help us unlock the bootloaders in our devices to gain better control of the open source nature of our systems, and I will be happily waiting for your resolution on this matter, now that it will finally be solved.

Thanks in advance for solving this issue.

Kind regards,

[same as above].

Sucks man, thats why devs haven't been really helping us, but I hope you can get thru it!

BTW, I checked the V6 supercharge mod suggested by wunderkind and I do feel some improvement, but I'm still not sure if it's just the placebo effect, will keep testing it. Thanks for the tip!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dams161:
Where is the v6 supercharge

And how to install it?

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleksandar_021:
You dont install it. It is a script.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dams161:
Ok

Thank
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyjpa:
Hello my friend could you explain how to do it? and what is the latest version?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This is the original thread and this is a small guide I follower because I am a bit of a noob :P

*Note: first install busybox as mentioned in the guide, if you dont have it already, and then downgrade it following the instructions in the original thread, because the script wont work with newer versions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wunderkind:
Hi ya,

Good news in some way is that the V6 Supercharge script is quite straight fwd for Gingerbread phones. The downloadable zip has busybox inside. What you do need is a

terminal emulator

to execute the script. In any case, read the guide.

cheers!

*ps: funny how this thread has morphed into an unofficial Motoluxe xt615 sub-forum. :laugh:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyjpa:
Thanks for the help, i did follow the steps, very simble indeed, i have a problem with astro nt running afterdoing this procedure but the script editor is also a file manager, Good speed increase, it is actually faster thanks for the TIp.

Can people sign this. I"ve yet to sign but it should help us to get motorola to unlocl bootloaders link is http://www.change.org/petitions/motorola-mobility-inc-unlock-all-smartphone-bootloaders-2#
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm happy to see you did notice the speed increase, I still can't feel it that much, I will keep playing with the script to see what I can get.

Regarding the problem with astro, I can't realy tell, I would suggest looking on google or on the original thread to see if you can find some workaround.

Great I just signed it, I see there's still some 4k people left but I hope we can reach the goal.

By the way Motorola hasn't replied to my email, they said they escalated the issue, as you saw from my post I made it pretty clear they should help us out because it's our right, so I hope they come up with a good resolution which would be the unlocked bootloader.

Will keep you updated.

UPDATE:

So Motorola replied to my email, I won't paste it here because for some reason they replied in spanish, probably because it's my country's language, but anyway I won't paste it here because I imagine almost no one speaks spanish, so basically what it says is that it is impossible because unlocking the bootloader is a faculty that only the carriers have (wtf?). They also say the operating systems can't be modified unless it is a direct update by motorola because otherwise it would breack the warranty...

So I guess we'll have to work that out on our own.

Bouuuuuuu motorola
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdexter:
Sucks!! Without unlocking the bootloader, it's very dangerous to try anything to be honest, bootloaders are out of my league!!! Need someone with experience in doing just that.

Shame really, it's not the most powerful device, but to me my battery life is great compared to my dual core Samsung, which let's be honest our motoluxe can do most of what it can do with the exception of certain games!!!

Motoluxe
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justice™:
Oh, it is a shame. Now we'll have to wait for motorola to unlock the bootloader, or the angeeks members to release their work...

(I'm doubting the angeeks members releasing their work, no word from the developers in a couple of weeks. More chance of motorola unlocking the bootloader)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I know, it sucks big time.

I havent checked angeeks recently but last time I didnt see much of an update, pretty much only "thanks" posts and spam..

So I dont really know if they're still working on it, I hope they do because who knows if motorola will ever unlock the motoluxe :/

And btw what happened to monchki? haven't seen him around in a while
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wunderkind:
Uh... the reply by Motorola (in Spanish) a few posts up indicates that Moto has no intention of unlocking the bootloader. It is according to them the carrier's responsibility.

Game. Set. Match. I'm going back to Samsung or HTC.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justice™:
Well, thats just bullsh*t. Next phone I get, will either be a HTC or samsung too. Stuck with the motoluxe for two years on my contract. Hoping the chinese devs get somewhere. Or even post their work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luxxx123:
Don´t give up.

Theres definitly a way to bypass the bootloader.

Anybody tried something with 2nd init, like they´ve done it on nearly every Moto?

We just need a dev that knows how to use it.

They also have cwm on the XT300 (also locked). I think that should encourage us.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wunderkind:
Considering Google now owns Motorola, you'd think they will pressure Moto to be more open-sourced. Nonetheless I'm disappointed because look and feel wise I prefer this phone over the plastic fantastic Nexus.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Detonatte:

I have a Motorola XT615 Motoluxe. I took root with SUTLR SuperOneClick v1.8.2 and v2.3.3.0. Tonight I installed the game Agent v1.0.2 Dash I opened, I played at a time lock your phone. I removed the battery and I could not turn. I mention that I was v2.3.7. What can I do to my phone and open? pls help urgent
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justice™:
You've raised my hopes up for CWM on this phone now! Thanks! Going to check another chinese bbs somewhen to see if their cwm has been released.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I was checking out some info on other motos and yes it seems most have used the 2nd init method, to be honest I don't really know how it works or pretty much what it is, so I'm sorry if I'm not of much help.

But this has certainly raised my hopes, too!

I would suggest leaving the battery out for some 5 minutes then try to turn it back on, maybe connect the charger, it should boot.

If it boots but it doesn't enter to the OS you could do a factory reset from recovery or give us more info on what happened.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justice™:
Well maybe the 2nd init method can be used on our ohone. Hey, it could be what the chinese devs are using..

;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyjpa:
My friend, my apologies but t's difficult to uncderstand exactly what happend, write what happend in your own language, use translator like google translate, then copy and paste, so we can better help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wunderkind:
Google Translate is terrible.

I was once interviewed by a chinese reporter about my visit to the cherry blossom festival. The resulting chinese article when translated by Google stated we are cotton farmers doing charitable work in Japan. WTF?!

Anyhoo back on topic. I was flipping SIM cards yesterday night and accidentally pressed the Motoluxe's power button longer than usual and it booted into this red screen thing with a bunch of words about boot init stuff. I didn't think much and quickly turn it off. Is this something you guys have seen before or have I inadvertently discovered a backdoor? :cool:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luxxx123:
Don´t know. Just know the Flashmode (blue).

Would be to nice :)

I got a answer of the guy which developed the cwm for the XT300 (spice):

I´ve that should be true it´ll be very bad for us..

I´ve asked him where he got this information. I´ll keep out up to date.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyjpa:
A quick observation my friend your message says xt650 instead of xt615. I have seen that the defy has a 2nd init, and acoording to this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip) there are other phones ( Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus, Samsung Galaxy S Duos, Samsung Omnia M, Huawei Ascend G300, ZTE Blade II, HTC Desire V(WCDMA)/VT(TD-SDMA) (China Only), HTC Desire VC) that also have this processor, and some of them already have a 2nd init. so ]I am not sure if that ifo is accurate. let's hope not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luxxx123:
Thanks for the notice. But still.. the Motoluxe has MSM7227 Chipsetz :mad:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyjpa:
Please read the rest of the article "MSM7227A like Samsung Galaxy Mini, Galaxy Ace Plus" this phones already have 2nd init
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think you booted into bootloader mode or something like that where you have to press volume down and camera button while turning on the phone, I've done it before but i don't really know what it does our what is it useful for
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justice™:
Defy is TI based not Qualcomm. So that's probably why they've got a 2nd init working. The fire xt is the same cpu as the motoluxe, and GentryLamp is porting CWM to it (At least some users said he was). Could be worth keeping an eye on, unless he's given up on it..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjr123:
sorry, but i think some people here don´t know what is 2nd-init/bootloader etc....

the problem is not 2ndinit, recovery etc... the problem is: how we can run/execute a script/binary in the early boot process (at mounting filesystem or short after that!!)

In defy init.rc there is in the on fs section a line: exec /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/mount_ext3.sh userdata /data

the logwrapper binary has a sysmbolic link to bootmenu binary and runs a bootmenu if it is at this line (userdata)...

on motoluxe we don´t have this chance to hjack logwrapper, because it is not used in init.rc....

Can you say me which options you´ve choosen?

And i get a output like that below the menu of the script:

I´ve just taken option 6: Balanced 3
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wunderkind:
Huh? what? There's no option to choose. Just follow the instruction on the thread. Use Terminal Emulator to run the script. Make sure your motoluxe is rooted.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luxxx123:
when you run the script you can choose a menu point.

From 1-17. 17 is exit.

I've followed the tutorial here on xda:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1334834

BTW: i'm still in contact with gentry lamp.

i gave him the init.*.rc files and he'll take a look a them.

i think its good possible to run 2nd init on Motoluxe because in the init.rc i found a command that nearly does the same as that ones on the defy.

- Luxxx123
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justice™:
What is the command? I'm curious. I was going to log the startup sequence of my motoluxe to see if there was some sort of entry point for loading and running code. Nothing new on the chinese forums. (I looked last night)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dams161:
hello

I had already tried but without success

I hope you will have more chance

: Bien:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luxxx123:
On the Defy it´s: exec /system/bin/logwrapper /system/bin/mount_ext3.sh userdata /data

On the Motoluxe: exec /system/bin/e2fsck -p /dev/block/mmcblk0p13

It´s not definitly the same but the important thing is the exec command i think.

On the Motorola Spice they also used it i think but there it was the file "/system/bin/charge_only_mode"

Problems, do you have the same?

hello, maybe 4 months ago i bought such phone for my wife. but it has so many bugs, or its only in the one we bought?

So do you guys are having same problems or not?

Unlock the phone sometimes freezes, screen goes white. Lock back unlock again fix that back to normal.

While doing something in homescreen or app drawer phones freezes and restarts,

using any kind of communication app is dissaster, only loudspeaker works(viber, Skype, Voyage, kakaotalk)

Then time sometimes stops, and you have to restart to get back working,

Time sometimes get few minutes to late or to early, so few times we already found phone is 13 min in a rush, or 9 minutes away from real time.

And some other spikes, lags for unknown reasons.

is there any fix for this, or its only with that phone which we have?

We bought it in Germany,

thanks a lot for help guys.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thank you very very much Monkichi, I just wanna make sure, after rooting and installing the apk, we need to:

-not open the app yet

-connect to power source, not usb

-open the app

-and then "install", but is it an option inside the app?

Sorry for all the questions, I understand your english isnt perfect so I just wanna make sure for me and for the rest of the community!

Thanks again!

I would say a good english translation is more than enough, since most of us here speak it, from that those who speak a different language could contribute making the translation to their own!

Hello friend, my phone is almost 2 months old and I personally haven't noticed ANY of the situations you mention, besides from normal lag on the homescreen, I say normal becuse our processor is not very fast, but I could minimize that by installing a different launcher, in my opinion GO launcher ex is the best one out there, but you can try others yourself.

I would try doing a factory reset and if that doesnt solve your issues I would say go to your carrier to see if they can repair or replace the device.

I hope you can solve it, good luck!
