I wonder if a factory cable would work to get it to flash mode? Why would you even mess with the bootloader trying to install ICS? You do that through recovery, not fastboot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pjcw:
I was on ICS ... This was an attempt to get it to JellyBeen ... I, also, dont know why. I was perfectly happy with ICS working in GSM/WCDMA. This is why I am so sad ... It was a very stupid thing to do ... As a matter of fact, I will get a factory cable, but I dont think this is gonna help. Anyways, I am keeping it by side to remember me not to mess with things that are working fine. I'm kind of losing hope that it can fixed.

I think we need to figure out how you flash mbm back onto there. Actually, I think it's mbmloader that you need on there...

mbm = Motorola Boot Manager (?) maybe.

After reading this page: http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project

I believe, mbm = uboot, mbmloader = x-loader

Just found this page... http://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/How_to_load_mbmloader_from_SD_card

download the SBF and grab the mbmloader for ICS. See if you can get a little further... ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lovethecode:
SamuriHL sHouse of Bionic restored mine when all I could get was fastboot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
It won't help this. It needs to be flashed at the omap level and since moto isn't about to release the configuration files for the Bionic you can consider this one permanently bricked.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pjcw:
I tend to agree with SamuriHL. I was thinking that the configuration souldn't be so diferent than others (like Samsung) that uses the same platform (omap). I know that it's naive, but what else could I do. Also, I need the signed files for x-loader and u-boot, of witch I think danifunker is right, this means mbm and mbmloader, that I have, but they came in bin format and not image format (.img). I will try to convert them to .img, but I am at the end of my resources (not that they are so many), and will give up shortly. At this point (giving up), I will buy another cellphone AND IT WONT BE A MOTOROLA, Probably a HTC or a Samsung. But I will keep Bionic at my desktop, as a paperweight, to remind me how I liked it, how I mess things up.

Anyways, if I manage to solve this problem, I will post here, and I wish to thank everyone that spare their time to try to help people. If anyone have any suggestion, I'll be glad to follow.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
If you modify them in any way they'll no longer be signed and won't work. Someone else already went through several weeks of trying to fix their phone that had similar issues. He's well connected and still couldn't get the necessary files. Don't necessarily give up on Moto, though...it's not their fault we're stuck with locked bootloaders. Blame VZW for that one. Even Samsung was forced to lock the S3 on VZW. Things may change some day. We'll have to wait and see.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] danifunker:
You can always get RAZR i with the unlockable bootloader! that might make things a bit easier...

IT'S DONE!!!!!!!!!

IT'S DONE ....... IT IS ALIVE AGAIN :highfive:

Guys. My phone is alive again. Thanks to FRAGULINA and PICGRABBER for their unvaluable help. It is now running GSM with data enabled (3G) with ICS 232, rooted, thanks to FRAGULINA and HTCFlyerX ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31101192&highlight=build+prop#post31101192).

Well, I'm attaching 2 zip files. One is omapflash and the other is "THE FILES", and instructions on the "release_notes.txt". This works on LINUX.

And works like a charm. Took me (much) less than 5 minutes to get me from a dead phone to bootloader fastboot. And the rest is history. Well known procedures.

Thanks to all of you that helped or tryed to help.

Enjoy.

To those who have an interest in new challanges (as I know you are), i'm opening a new quest and would appreciate your thoughts.

I have at hand an atrix 2 and I want to find where in hell is the subsidy code writen at and how can I read it. This new quest will be at the proper location at the atrix 2 forum.

I think we won this challange. Lets go for another.

Any doubts I am available to help.

Regards.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Holy.....uh, well, WOW! I'm in awe here on this one. WELL DONE!!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] danifunker:
Can we use this method to flash any firmware to the phone? Lets say you load the latest ICS, maybe we use this method which restores the most original bootloader to the phone and then flash to any version?

Which version did you fastboot to?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
This is unbelievable. After talking with you on Gtalk, I thought this was a permanent brick. Thanks for the files...I have a guy on gtalk right now who can benefit from these.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
That's a theory that is going to get put to the test as my head raced to the exact same place. It can NOT be used to unlock a phone, but, can it be used to circumvent the security? Very good question and the exact same question I have.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] danifunker:
Luckily I have a bionic which is only used to cheesecaking at my desk... I will try erasing the bootloader and using this method to "unlock" the bootloader... will update shortly.

Okay, turns out that I can't seem to flash the old mbmloader, nor can I delete it. How did the OP delete the mbmloader in the first place? Maybe if I can get that done then we can flash it as if it was a blank phone...

Sent from my XT894 running ICS
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Can't use it to unlock anything. I'm more interested in seeing if a 247 phone can use it to downgrade to 905. This shouldn't be tested on ANYONE's main phone for any reason. Flashing at the OMAP level is dangerous at best and should only be used as a last resort.

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

Oh, it's sadly not hard. From the readme:

How to blank phone:

fastboot erase mbmloader
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
This is going to get interesting...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Amen to that man. What an unbelievable week. Soak test starting today and now this. WOW. Just amazing.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
Agreed! Now, only if we can get that ICS fxz....I am sure your working your sources...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Already on top of that. :) As soon as it shows up we should be able to get it. ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] danifunker:
I wouldn't be posting here if I've already tried that ;)

It says command not supported after I tried to erase the mbmloader (in Windows). Which partition is mbmloader? I am pretty sure it is mmcblk0p1...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
Sweet! Very nice bro.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
Oh, I know of one other way to whack the damn thing but I'm not sure if you wanna go there and I certainly ain't posting it publicly as it could be used maliciously. PM me if you wanna try it. It's nasty.

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

I'm just the pain in the butt that asks the people who really provide for us. :) Skrilax_CZ and DayWalker04 are the real heroes of the FXZ world and deserve to be thanked 100 times over.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eye__dea:
I knew DayWalker04 was / is the man. I have thanked him before.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SamuriHL:
He's one of two amazingly awesome people who are willing to share with the moto community.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pjcw:
If you look at the xml file it says:

<step MD5="b0c30799c8509c4d66599550e3fbdd82" filename="mbmloader.bin" partition="mbmloader" operation="flash"/>

And when I deleted it it was done with fastboot at LINUX. Maybe this is the diference.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estebandido:
I installed CM9 Eyeballer the other day on my NC. It pretty much works, but if I go into the web browser or any other factory-installed app, hitting the "N" button takes me back to the factory-installed home screen, and I can't find any way to get back to the Android home screen, short of rebooting the device. Is this normal?

Also, I flashed Gapps using gapps-20120429-ics-signed.zip, and the only Google App that appears is Play Store -- I was able to sign in, but the next screen gave me a "Server Error," and that's all it's done since. I verified the md5sum, and also tried again to install it. No change. Is there some version conflict, or something like that?

Edit: did not install CM9, after all. I now have.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
What is the 'factory installed home screen'? You mean stock? That is not possible if you installed CM9 over the top of stock on emmc. Can you explain a little more how you installed it and what you mean.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estebandido:
Well...

I followed the directions as closely as I could: create a recovery chip, copy over the zip file (manualnooter-5.08.20-apps2sd.zip), reboot, install from zip file, install Manual Nooter, flash update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-090111.zip, install Gapps, reboot again. As far as I could tell, my results were consistent with the directions, up until the symptoms I described. For example, the splash (smash) screen is right, and the rainbow-y thing, and so on.

This partial success is even more frustrating than a total failure.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Your original post said you installed CM9. You did not. You just rooted your stock rom. You might want to edit the title of the post to 'Manual Nooter installed properly, Gapps not working. Then take that CM9 Eyeballer statement out of the text in the first post and you might get some proper responses from folks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estebandido:
Sure enough.

Ah... I was under the impression that Eyeballer was a version name of CM9. None of the sets of instructions I read made it clear to me that wasn't the case.

I ended up doing a factory reset, then reinstalling everything. The picture is far rosier now -- it finally looks the way I pictured!

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Eyeballer does build a version of CM9. But that has nothing to do with what you did. You ran Manual Nooter, which is a tool to root your stock installation. CM9 is a completely different version of Android than stock is. And when you install CM9, your stock is completely removed and replaced by CM9.

You do not have CM9 installed, you have just rooted your stock rom.

Anyway, I'm glad you got it working.

Edit: I see you modified your original post to say you did later install CM9.

[ROM][NC] Unofficial CM9 Nightly builds - with/without OpenGL

I don't have enough posts in XDA to post in the (goo dot gl/vPJcM) actual ROM thread so I'm hoping someone will see it here.

After installing the CM7 ROM a long time ago. they Nook wasn't able to boot into CWM. I can only access the recovery using a bootable SD card. That may or may not matter.

Yesterday I installed both the 3 SEP OpenGL and 4 SEP versions of Eyeballers CM9 ROM along with GAPPS. In both versions I cannot get bast the Setup Wizard since it "unfortunately Closed" every time I "touch the Android".

I did install the ROM w/o GAPPS as a temporary fix but will need to eventually access the Play Store.

I did notice that CWM still wont boot into recovery and the Cyanoboot won't either. Cyanoboot takes me to what appears to be a stock Nook screen claiming that an install has failed and that I should power on/off or contact customer service.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks!

JC
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You do not have CWM installed on internal memory (emmc). That message you are getting means you still have the stock recovery there. You need to flash a CWM to emmc using your bootable CWM card. Look in my tips thread linked in my signature. Look at item A8 and the subheading 'to fix a corrupted or missing recovery on emmc'.

I don't know how to solve your other problem with gapps, other than to do a factory reset with CWM.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mateorod:
From what I can tell, Eyeballer is mostly drinking.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycrabb:
Thank you very much for the response, I will try this as soon as I get some time (I have a selfish new baby) and get back.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycrabb:
Success! errr..sort of.

Prior to flashing gapps I was able to reboot into CWM. Thank you so much for your help!

Still having the same issue with setup manager after factory reset and wipe of all cache.

If anyone has a work around or another suggestions for CM9 on the NC I'd much appreciate it.

Thanks again.

I know neither are perfect but when I give a local phone command like play music or a certain song S- Voice usually does it automatically. Google Now just always wants to search the web or make me scroll to a (tiny) button and choose what I want to do. Any tips to getting Google Now to "get a little smarter"?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
I don't get Google Now yet. I mean I have it, I just don't "get it". The cards kinda put me off, so I haven't taken the time to explore what it really does for me.

I liked being able to press the search button (which my S3 doesn't have :( ) and Google Voice Search would pop up and I'd tell her (yeah, her) to do something and she would do it (usually).

Google Now seems a bit more complicated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JuannTwo3:
I've been using Google Now for a while now and I've found it to be very convenient. I love the fact that it will remind me when my favorite football (soccer) team plays a day before on the days I forget. It's pretty awesome IMO how it gives me an ETA for my commute to and from work without having to look up anything. It also does that for any place I look up (Store, Company, etc) with a shortcut to navigate. I was skeptical at first but it has found it's way to integrate into my everyday life. :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jmtheiss:
I looked into it a little bit and I've come to the conclusion I don't lead an interesting enough life for Google Now to be useful. I (more often than not) know where stuff is around me, I have apps that tell me the weather and my teams' scores, and public transit is pretty consistent for me.

So there you go.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rpavich:
I use Voice Search (not Google Now) because the cards put me off.

Usually I'm looking to do something specific and I don't need a bunch of cards coming up.

I found that S-voice was less accurate and slower than Voice search for everything. VS will make calls, search, search phone, send texts...etc.

I hated on S-voice that it had to repeat back what it was doing....make sure that's what I wanted and then do it....the process took longer than VS by 3X.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ozark_8125:
N95

Ditto here. I did find personalized recognition under settings so you can try that to see if it helps, and IIRC, you can choose the apps that it has access to.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
I pretty much only use the (new offline) Google Voice search/commands, too, and ignore the Google Now cards, because they're not useful often enough in NYC. Weather and extreme weather alert cards are nice, but the subway and commute stuff doesn't really help me, and I don't give a sh1t about the new movie & sports cards.

Maybe more user-relevant cards from apps will show up in the future, though.

(Still, S-Voice sucks.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz4769:
The fact that google now doesnt have full control over the apps yet is the kicker. I think it will be able to do this and then it will be the king. But for asking google search type things its better than S voice, but S voice can control the apps....combine the abilities of the 2 with the speed of Google Now and it will be great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rpavich:
Google voice is the best of both worlds...it has app control and it's fast on voice searching.

It's S-Voice without the annoying slowness and GNow without the stupid cards popping up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
Isn't part the problem that Google Now uses DIFFERENT commands to do things? (I just updated to the v7 version and I can set a time with the same prhasing as S Voice, but it actually sets an alarm for 10 minutes later vs S-Voice's bringing up the timer part of the clock.)

In S Voice you would say, "set a timer for ten minutes" and it brings up the stop watch and asks you to start it. (mine usually times out before I can say 'start')

In Google Now you say, 'set a reminder for ten minutes ' and it does set the alarm for the time.

What I LOVE is that Google Now can look at my calendar and where my next appt is and tell me (in advance) how long it's going to take to get there, reminding me to leave. This of course requires that you put the information into the location portion of your appts.

There's a set of 2 vids on Youtube with Google Now's 67 commands and search types.

I hate Google Now throwing all the sports thingy wasting my battery, memory, and data.. Though, S-voice don't spend any data, I feel like it's wasting battery and memory.

So, overall I've been happy with the Vibrant specially running Der's HellyBean. The few issues I have are hardware based. I like to have front camera for skype, a better GPS, and more RAM/CPU. It seems to me that the S2 would be the natural progression for me. Any reason why I shouldn't? Don't mention the S3 or S4 coming in March since I am on a budget ( you can read this as cheap or broke...lol). I am still doing research so I am not really familiar with the ROMs out there for the S2. Does anyone have recommendations? I like Der's work on the Vibrant so I will check to see if he has anything on the S2 side. It looks like his kernel is at least compatible for it.

It is smooth as can be. She loves it. There is no EU bug on the S2, as that is exclusive to the original Galaxy series (Vibrant, Captivate, I9000). There is an Emmc chip bug, but that is cross devices on the S2, Note1 and a few tablets.

As for the cheap S3 for $250, I bet it was either stolen or IMEI blacklisted. Buyer beware.
