Just wondering if anyone got anywhere with Moto PMD with backing up carrier files? Or if this any updated on this?

I was able to get pmd installed on a winXP 32bit box in a virtual machine but now PMD won't see my phone. The Virtual Machine sees it and everything's working fine just not PMD..
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Make sure to install the moto drivers and direct your virtual machine to USB connection to your phone. Also I have had more and less free time(don't ask how that works) to play with it but after this week ill basically be a free man so ill have more.time to dedicate to this stuff

edit, you need three parts for pmd to work the common tool the phone model plug in and a firmware package i dont know if you have those parts also so you know im running version 1.0.5

Could you point me in the right direction to get those required materials? :)
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
There are some themes that are trying to do that. One of them that I know is Black Infintium. But they havent completely got it worked out yet. The latest update makes it look like crap.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
To be honest I don't have a clue the only thing is the plug in for our phone we.have the image its the sbf for 2.3.6. The only way I can think of is to get a hold of it through someone who works for a phone company, a developer leak, or through moto themselves but they don't play nice

Ahh gotcha. Ok i'll try my best and see what i can do! Thanks for all the help with this too bud :)

no problem alot of the information i have can be found in the help file
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Ok so apparently some of the techs for my carrier were able to get full jelly bean running on the mx2. Meaning a new kernel and everything functioning(camera and tethering natively). Gonna try and petition moto through their external idea forum for a boot loader unlock

Sent from my CM10 MX2
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
That's hard to believe. Not saying you're lying but I would need proof before I believed. What do you mean "techs for your carrier"? Like, some guys that worked at a store? Did you actually see it?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
No, it was the guys who actual control the network and get the "golden phones" and program them to work for their network so they can send them back to the manufactures to get the consumer phones. And I agree it sounds too good to be true but if they used the same techniques to kexec a new kernel it would be possible since they have all to tools, kernels, driver modules, and carrier files to implement it. No I havent seen it but I have a reliable contact with in the company that claims it they got it working. However Im going to see if i can get motorola to give me a bootloader unlock since i have the unofficial ok to unlock it from my carrier and release as much of the open source kernel and driver modules as they can. from there i was gonna try and dev a rom myself or try and get the technicians from my carrier to give me the files they used to get jb working and going from there.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well you may be too new to know what I'm referring to. But you better not Melvin us. Lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Sippi4x4man:
NO MELVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Far too new i havent a clue what that means. my goal is to convince motorola to provide some sort of unlock and get the files from my carrier. however if i can get one or the other (boot loader unlock or files from the technicians) ill be sufficiently happy enough to work with what i get. im not making any promises im just going off of what ive heard and untill i get substantial proof thats about as far as im gonna take it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Booga Booga:
I'm thinking this might be too good to be true I'm hope I'm wrong though!

I've heard a lot about melvin ... not a good guy.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Agreed if its true and i can get a hold of them i might be able to give them to help dzk possibly bringing full functionality to cm10 faster and we mx2 users would have a fully functioning jb version to play with new kernel and everything. but again truth is in the proof. untill i have proof its just specualation at this point.
[Motorola Droid X2] Booga Booga:
Hey LRS any update?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Unlike rom deving i have no control over anything, but for now im waiting on word from Motorola that has the least of my hopes but it was a try and a long shot at that. as for a completed version of jb and a new kernel, i still need to get in contact with people and pull some strings before i can get any more word and that probably wont happen till about late tomorrow or sometime friday and even then all ill really have done is sent a request through a chain of people possibly not interested in their work being released to the world. if they are willing to let me play with what they have the soonest i might be able to get something out will be sometime next week, but dont hold me to it theres too many ifs and too little time to put forth as much effort as id like. getting certified in several areas for IT takes quite some time and i have less than 6 weeks to acomplish my goal. Hopefully if i can get certified in linux like i want i can get my hands on some extra resources and learn more about how linux work before i have to work towards my CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Assistant = 16 weeks of 7+ hours filled with hell) cert next semester.

Edit: Not trying to be mean just giving an idea of whats going on
[Motorola Droid X2] DigitalMD:
From what I've read in the press the holdout for locked bootloaders is Verizon and the cell carriers, not Motorola.
[Motorola Droid X2] Booga Booga:
ahha not a problem. Not sounding mean at all was just curious! Have fun with all that jazz though bud!
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
exactly. Having an unofficial ok from my carrier is the only reason I'm soliciting an unlocked boot loader for "my" phone. if I can get ahold of the method they used to lock our boot loaders and a method to unlock the boot loader I maybe able to engineer one that works with other mx2s. granted some people are willing to be guineapigs and risk a bricked phone to help me test. and maybe dzk or twittish can use it to do the same for the dx2

Heh fun doesn't cover it but it'll help in the long run. Ill try to keep everyone updated as I go. Again no promises though.

Ok I need some input. Ive been running cm10 a2 since its release. Sbfd to start with a clean slate. Have been running it for weeks as a dd. Yesterday things started stopping ie android.process.acore

Browser etc. So I cleared data and cache nothing happened. So I decided to nandroid back. The nandroid went through its thing, said complete, I rebooted.... still on cm10 and nothing was different I mean it was as if I had done absolutely nothing in recovery. Things are still stopping. Just confused as to why all the sudden this would start happening out of the blue. All my apps have been on here for a while.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
For a while i found that mine would run extremely slow esspecially durring start up clearing the dalvik was the only thing that speed it up. as to nandroiding back i havent touched my restore nandroid though ive been thinking about it. My best guess is to do a 3, 3 wipe. wipe all three dalvik, data/fatory restore, and cache, nandorid back, wipe all three again, flash a zip that doesnt really do anything like rerecovery and then wipe all three again. if the nandroid doesnt take use the sock recovery and do the wipes. if it still doesnt take then, unless someone has a better idea, you might have to sbf again.
[Motorola Droid X2] ionicone:
Thanks I did most of the minus flashing a different zip after nandroid will try that. Its running there is just many strange things happening randomly.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
i have a similar problem but only with youtube. it crashes when my phone turns on and wont work after word but i know why. ive stoped certain processes that youtube depends on from starting when the phone starts
[Motorola Droid X2] ionicone:
ok get this i just sbfd to 2.3.6 and when the phone rebooted it was still on cm 10 and it was like i had not done a thing then it soft rebooted going to sbf again
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
I'm sorry you've been having issues lve exhausted the extent of my knowledge minus a burst of inspiration that may not come that's all I could do for you.

On another note, for everyone who wants an update on it. I talked to my contact at my carrier and he's got an mx2 he's gonna play around with using what the techs got going. When he gets some viable stuff going and time he's going to send me links and downloads to get ahold of it myself. So the balls rolling there. Still no word from Motorola. And my final note remember I'm making no promises untilled I have proof. That's all. :)

Mini update

Motorolas been silent on my request no big surprise there was expecting something like this.

No word from my contact my only thought is hes busy with work and it isnt a priority or its taking longer than he thought.

thinking of starting work on a kexec. Ive started a poll to see who wants me too. know that Im working with thing i dont know much about

Edit: If i do working on it WILL be slow not only do i not know enough about it i need a x64 (64 bit) machine to work with and the only computer (my laptop) im on X hours out of the day is unfortunately a x86 (32 bit) machine. I have a x64 machine but its my desktop and i touch it maybe once a week maybe this will give me enough incentive to work on it more just remotely.

I'm getting another MX2 over Thanksgiving if you need me to try anything I'll be all for it. It's my test phone. Just saying. Keep it in mind if you don't want to do something to yours. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Sounds good ill more than likely have you be my tester for the stuff before I post it. Right now my goal is to get this recovery functioning but I need the ability to get a kexec functioning before it'll work. So I'm trying to pull the kernel from sbf unless you happen to have an offical update zip of hand.
[Motorola Droid X2] Booga Booga:
I don't think so. All the phones I have came directly with 2.3.6 sadly.

But that sounds good with testing. Just let me know what you need. I can hop on IRC most nights depending on school work.

[Motorola Droid X2] thirdfloornorth:
Currently running the October 08 (20121008) whichever that was. If I wanted to update to this, would I need to SBF?

Because I'm C Spire, and I'm 90% sure we don't have an SBF :( So, am I stuck on the version I currently have? I'd even be willing to downgrade/sidegrade into ANYTHING else, but I'm pretty sure I can't do that either. All I know is the 20121008 release either really hates my phone/me, or is really unstable. It's rendered my phone near unusable.

What are my options?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
No you shouldn't have to sbf it just makes running it much better in theory. You do however have to restore a nandroid to anything other then cm10 then reinstall the bsr and run the new update. I read that the wifi doesn't work for the dx2 but with our patch we should be ok. I haven't tested it and I'm not sure if I'm going to.
[Motorola Droid X2] thirdfloornorth:
If I nandroid back to any other backup... can I then install other ROMs? Like, non 2.3.6 ROMS such as ParanoidAndroid?

I've installed the wifi patch like always, and it's not working. I've consulted the main thread for help but I don't think I'll be all that lucky. But we'll see. Not having wifi isn't the worst thing in the world.

I rarely use it myself though theres an easy fix I just have other things to deal with right now. If you wanna try it yourself just check out the dx2 thread they have how there

Re: [ROM]{Alpha}(JB) Cyanogen Mod 10 MX2 Alpha-2.9 updated 1/12/2013

Yes, as long as you nandroid back to something other then cm10. And if you flash any rom that's cm10 based you will have to do the same to flash a different one.

[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Re: [ROM]{Alpha}(JB) Cyanogen Mod 10 MX2 Alpha-2.9 updated 1/12/2013

Also wifi will work the patch adds in the kernel module for the wifi to function. This will be the same regardless of what rom you run. There may be issues getting the wifi to function at first. If this is a consistent problem I can possibly fix it by modifying the rom zip file before uploading. That will take more time doing but will possibly make the wifi work off the bat with out having to flash the patch zip. And possibly add in a write up for manually inserting the module in to the running kernel to make it work...possibly. I will do this only if people find that the patch zip isn't working all that well. Why fix what isn't broke. So please people if there is something that isn't working let me know here and on the dx2 thread so I may be able to work something out. Just remember I check here more then I do the dx2 thread and more consistently as well. I also do cruise the questions thread and general but I tend to check certain posts more regularly then others.

I'm having an extremely annoying problem now. Whenever I am on the phone and talking, the phone cuts off. I've narrowed it down to the proximity sensor. Whenever it kicks in after the call connects, my calls cut out. It doesn't happen when I'm using a headset. Anyone else experiencing this problem???
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
documented issue with cm10. has existed since the first version. that has issues with certain settings and the way it was programed id have to build from scratch to be able to fix it, and even then im not adept at coding for android os yet. as of now its best to let dzk work on it when he can. im good for doing quick and simple fixes till i get more adept at compiling and coding for our phone. thats low on my priorities right now but i will be working on it as i get time. but i am gonna be working on it more since ive come to a stand still on work with kexec.
[Motorola Droid X2] lwyatt100:
Folder Alias?

I have an app that is looking for the sd card at location /sdcard/. CM 10 has this location as /storage/sdcard0/. Is there anyway to alias the folder so that when the app looks for /sdcard/ it's pointed to /storage/sdcard0/?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [ROM]{Alpha}(JB) Cyanogen Mod 10 MX2 Alpha-2.9 updated 1/12/2013

there's a way to do it. If you can go though the XML files and change it to the correct paths then it should work. Or you can recreate the links to sdcard to point to storage sdcard0

[Motorola Droid X2] lwyatt100:
I'd rather not mess with the applications files, so I'd like for the location /sdcard/ to exist. How do I create an alias to point that location to /storage/sdcard0/? I'd also like to do this for /sdcard-ext/ to point to /storage/sdcard1/.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
the way to do that would be to modify the links under /mount to point to /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1 respectively just keep the sdcard and sdcard-ext files the same using root browser. though doing that you must redo the links every time you reboot.
