Future's getting brighter each day for our fire xt ;). Thanks to you guys for not giving up.
[Android General] andrewidya:
So if you find the way for windows, so we better to try with that and see the result, I hope it will success

And btw about the recovery its great bro, but have you try the recovery?

:confused:
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Hey guys.

Success finallly booted in bootmenu at startup.

CWM lasts for long[ I think till you want it to last.]

Figured out everything.

Just one problem now I'm not able to start the phone It's stuck at CWM

Tried everything..

Now just waiting for someone to give light on how we could get into bootmenu through some keys.

Get defy's bootmenu and search that how they get to bootmenu via volume down(-) [I'm a n00b doesn't know a thing :laugh:]

As doing that bootmenu will not disturb the normal boot.

I'm flashing again to get back into my phone.

I'll give detailed steps but first tell me how to go in it through some keys so that everybody can have CWM without any problems.

Thanks everyone for their great support.
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
I think if cwm have adb support

You can connect your phone to pc and type:

adb shell

rm -r /system/etc/init.d/97bootmenu

That will not set certain keys but that will delete the script you made in init.d so that it will be able to boot to system
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
I also thought about that,

But I think we can get it working through keys so that normal boot is not disturbed,

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 AM ----------

Only 1 cloud left in our way.

After that a clear sky.

Hope we will remove that cloud soon.
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
i could boot into the bootmenu without being laggy (after adding stop command to the script)

then i tried (custom recovery option)

it was so scatterd and resolution was horrible, it was all messed up, maybe because xt311 resolution is different than xt530, i will try to put the recovery that i built into the bootmenu files

but somebody tell me how to do it ?

ps: i successfully deleted the script with rm -r command via adb shell, and was able to boot to system again without reflashing.

EDIT: replaced the recovery files with the decompiled recovery that i built online, now the display is good (Y)

but doesn't mount.
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Got everything working for XT530.

Strange problem you got.
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
Which recovery files are you using?
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Modded by 7amdoun.

Here it is.
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
oh but i need to mod this recovery for xt311's display compatibility, how can i do so?
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Idk actually...

But I think it can be done through bootmenu source.

It is in the thread search for it.
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
This is how recovery looks like:
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Resolution is the problem.

I don't know about .C files so I can't edit it to your resolution.

But I'll give it a try.
[Android General] chen2011521:
How you install it?

I don't saw any about it.
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Here

Search for CWM for fire XT
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Ask 7amdoun if he's free.

To set the resolution to get CWM working on your phone.

He knows about the script as he only modded the bootmenu.

2.3.5 sbf for XT311

Hi guys, I'm new on this forum. I'm searching for a 2.3.5 sbf for the xt311, so it would be nice if someone could provide me this sbf. :D
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
Update

for the bootmenu:

adb is working through cwm, adb shell too!

the display is still awful, i believe the problem is in /bootmenu/recovery/sbin/recovery

but i don't know how to edit this kind of files ?

can somebody what version of cwm does this bootmenu use ?
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Try replacing it with the file that you created via online builder.

I think that will work.
[Android General] chen2011521:
Font of online builder’ recovery so large that xt311(6) it not suitable,,remember it didn't work perhaps.

I build one With small font.

but can't. Work well.

Backup will stuck at system.img

so poor not know what's reason.

Anyone can help me?
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
i tried that, but the recovery doesn't boot, because i think that the recovery inside bootmenu is less than cwm 6, and online builder builds cwm 6

i believe that the recovery that is already in the bootmenu works well, but with awful display, probably caused by "recovery" file in "sbin" folder

what should we do?

btw, what is this recovery version in the bootmenu?
[Android General] chen2011521:
I build version is v6.0.1.8 ,its ok,

Display is ok.

Bt most of recovery command can't Work!
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
We have to add those commands from the converted recovery in sbin folder to the sbin folder in bootmenu/recovery,

Then you will have them working.
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
i think i tried that but i will try again
[Android General] Mazen.kh:
I Think i'm close! [xt311]

i could mount sdcard,

wipe battery stats (which means i mounted /data),

also when i click mounts and storage, then mount sdcard to pc it works !

adb works !

but when i try to take a nandroid the recovery shutsdown and returns to bootmenu o.O

i will try a test zip to flash

my recovery:

CWM 6 that i built online, removing some files

replace the the recovery folder inside bootmenu with this one

PS: use ENTER button instead of power button

EDIT: INSTALLING ZIPS SHUTS DOWN THE RECOVERY.
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
Just mod the files inside /res/images

Catch the XT300 bootmenu files, copy 'n paste! Then we need to mod recovery binary!

2.2 ROM is giving bootloop into battery_charging. We need to focus on GB.
[Android General] b-m-b-85:
Right so now i have got my xt535 to boot into cwm with bigger txt and backlight using the build recovery from my xt535 recovery.zip and merging the files with the xt530 files from awesomes bootloader.. but now the power button wont select anything. Volume buttons work but power doesnt.. But the power button and volume do work on awesomes build... any ideas
[Android General] mEmoZz:
can that recovers dead our devices if we try it? I mean on XT311 or XT316!

Mr. Indigo, which rom are you porting? And if you have made the updater-script, can you please post it here, because I am trying to port cm7 to the phone from mini. The updater script keeps giving errors even if I edit it.
[Android General] rkubica91:
Wow!

Can't wait! :good:
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
Can you make it?

I'm porting from LG OPTIMUS ME, which owns the same hardware.

It's a ROM called LG UI 3.0.
[Android General] vasuhsm123:
Actually what we really need is a kernel with overclocking support and swap support because the ram is very low and the processor speed is very low.
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
You can't flash a custom kernel in your phone. That requires unlocked BL that we don't haave.
[Android General] vasuhsm123:
Yup, that's the problem. :(
[Android General] C-killa:
there must be a way to unlock the bootloader
[Android General] TenkenS:
And that's the reason I just won't buy another Motorola phone again, not only they lock the bootloaders, but they won't provide proper updates for phones.

A friend of mine made the mistake of buying a Defy Mini and it seems they didn't think it was enough to lock the boot but it seems they also fixed most of the loopholes that allows root, and now she is stuck with a phone with a lot of bloatware and low inner memory which can't be rooted to install link2sd or other memory saving app.

Motorola has nice phones but it just isn't enough, seems they spend more time trying to make it non developer friendly than making it work properly.

The main issue with this device isn't making it run a ROM that sucks less than the stock one, it's the darn kernel that's just useless.

As far as I know I won't even buy a high end Motorola device as most of the ones I know are still stuck on gingerbread or just updated to a lame ICS.

NO MORE #MOTOFAIL FOR ME!
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Actually moto always gives developers challanges.

See there is nothing here thats immpossible. There's always another way.

If we loosed hope then there would have been no CWM since moto patched all binaries which devs hijacked.

But we worked patiently and see there is CWM for our phones.

All it requires is optimism, sharp minds and hard work.

See the defy with locked BL they are having roms with custom kernel.

This is because the developers were not ready to give up.
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
Ok guys, so DON'T GIVE UP! :)
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
Just some facts:

XT316 can run ICS. How I discovered it? Just take a look at SAMSUNG Galaxy 5. Same processor...

AND I FOUND A WAY TO UNLOCK OUR BOOTLOADERS!

It's a liitle (a little?) bit hard. It's named KEXEC bootloader. Linux booting other kernels. Good, right?

It was tested on MOTOROLA DROID RAZR, and by our luck, KEXEC in RAZR just made ONE CPU working. If anyone wants to try, let's do it.
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Yeah. Cool.

And Samsung also launched a new phone Galaxy music with ICS and planned upgrade to JB. With much same specs of our phones.

Can you provide the link where you read about KEXEC..?

---------- Post added at 03:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

I saw about it.

It seems like 2nd-boot.

Maybe we can give it a try.
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
OK. But we need C W M to do it, but CWM here is NOT WORKING. ALL of the files are OK, but CWM doesn't launch. IDK why.

BusyBox version: 1.19

PimpMyROM 2.3

VIVO ROM 2..3.5
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
The one on Mazen.kh's thread works(I think).
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
I'm trying with his tutorial. It doesn't execute at all.
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
In install-recovery.sh add busybox before 'run-parts....'

Hope it helps.
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
IT WORKED!@!
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Good!
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
Now, KEXEC.

Let's build and try...
[Android General] aweosomeabhijeet:
Can you give me the link to the tutorial?

Hey, did you try the kexec method?

[Android General] MiniJB:
Thanks for sharing it
[Android General] rdar_93:
Just a suggestion

So, this is just a suggestion, but because of the low internal memory on the XT317 (I cant say about the others, cause this is the one I own), wouldnt it be better use of memory by trying to flash an older version of the rom? I know that I liked 2.1 alot, so.....If we get a dev, who would be willing to do that? (In my head, getting a 4.0 or 4.1/4.2 is pointless cause boot/system/data is going to take up ALL of our internal storage. 2.1 I think has just enough files for us to install cool apps and run fast at the same time.)

Again, this is just a suggestion.
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
There is 2.1 for XT317?!

DON'T DO THIS, 2.1 doesn't support App2SD natively, and Instagram with other apps doesn't work... (Only works with Android 2.2 or higher)

And 2.1 may not support our new methods for BootMenu, so stay at 2.3!
[Android General] rdar_93:
I was thinking bout doing something I saw a few years ago, but it doesnt matter right now. And there isnt a 2.1 for xt317. I was thinking someone could build one the same way they built CyanogenMod.

What I would like to say is that I finally partitioned the SD card and Link2SD is working properly, so I have space for new apps and stuff. But I would like to flash CWM to it. Is there a simpler way?

I dont like 2.3 :(

I'm too used to 4.0
[Android General] mEmoZz:
Happy new year guys! :)
[Android General] rdar_93:
So I was thinking earlier, since we have a CWM recovery for this phone (though I have not installed it yet) and there's bootmenu (from what I've read, correct me if I'm wrong)

Is there some way we can make a custom 2.3.7 rom with a ported cyanogenmod setting, like the one in the Defy(+)/ Milestone2's MS2Ginger?
[Android General] Mr.Indigo:
I think so... let me see those custom ROMs.
[Android General] YaduXGT:
I not sure if this helps or u already know about it.. but..there is an app called KERNEL MANAGER PRO which we can get for free from black mart alpha.. the app find custom roms compatible with your rooted phone.. Just download

BLACK MART ALPHA and search for th app KERNEL MANAGER PRO...

This app might help us... Not sure.
[Android General] rdar_93:
Highly doubt it but I'll check it out. I'm all for cyanogen mod ports and mods.

Edit: Tried installing Black Market Alpha on XT317, got a forceclose. So, no go here.
[Android General] YaduXGT:
Try black mart v 0.49.93 which probably is the most stable version... sorry can't attach files coz I'm using tapatalk :( I'll try and post the link to download it though :)

And as for the link to the guy who wants to supposedly build a custom rom, good luck to him but I fear his attempts will be futile. And if he succeeds, he's building for the XT530 and another one that's not mine, so.... yeah.
[Android General] asphaltsnatch:
Hi guys !

And happy new year !

I come back here after few months, to see what happens to our Fire :)

This is my third one ( the two others suddenly died after some time (every 5 months) )

I can't remember if I have told here how to have an extended memory for apps folder.

Anyway, here is the how-to ( maybe a bit old ? ) [ there is my tuto on french android forum : http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/114940-tuto-need-root-la-solution-a-cette-faible-memoire-interne/ ]

/!\ You need an empty large SD card (4gb or more to be comfortable) /!\

Root the fire (if you are on XDA , ... hum )

Create 2 Primary Partitions in Fat32 cause the fire does not support other filesystem ( the first is the classic partition for your music, photo, and every user data (the bigger one) ; the second one is the place where the apps will be placed, (for me 800Mio were enough) )

Download romtoolbox ( free version is ok for the job )

--go to /system/etc/ folder

--create init.d folder

--exit rom toolbox

Download Link2SD

--start the app, allow root access, select fat16/fat32

--reboot the phone as asked in prompt

Re-enter in Link2SD

--go to setting / auto-link setting / tick the boxes you prefer

--then you can select all your apps and create link (this will move your apps to the second partition on the sd and create symbolic links to the internal app folder)

Enjoy.
