Yeah yeah, of course i saw it. But almost everything in this Forum is for MB511. However, if its the Same device (Like SEMC Arc "anzu" and Arc S "ayame") it COULD work. But First you need to get bootstrapped recovery to work on charm, you maybe could Flash the MB511 Rom. (At your own Risk, of course ^^)

Else, good luck at building it for charm.

Report to me if it worked, so i can add it to my How-To Thread :)

Sent from somewhere...
[Flipout and Charm General] osk386:
Well.. I took the risk :

I've been installed, the CM7 ruth rom, from the phchshow compiled V 0.6.2 on the Motorola Charm MB502 without make changes,...:fingers-crossed:... and works! :victory:

But, some bugs:

1. No Network Recognize: I can't call, sim is recognized but returns "No Network coverage".

2. Screen only shows in portrait mode and sensors doesn't function to adjust the display mode.

3. Keyboard not function properly, numbers and symbols not corresponding to the physical keyboard layout.

4. Android key board not function.

5 Audio files are no working.

:silly:

I wonder if this bugs are in MB511 or just in this model (MB502)?.
[Flipout and Charm General] ShockBuddy:
I cannot say something about 1., cuz i dont use a SIM card on my device anymore (Switched to Xperia Arc S "ayame")

2. CORRECTION: Screen is working fine on ruth (MB511), but it gets wrong orientation if you flip out the Keyboard!

3. Keyboard is usable on MB511, but it is qwerty, i have a qwertz one.

4. Working on MB511

5. Ringtones and Notification Tones are working, didn't test with Music

Maybe you need to port over some device drivers from charm to the ROM
[Flipout and Charm General] ShockBuddy:
Made some corrections in my last post, sorry ^^'
[Flipout and Charm General] osk386:
Latest screenshots from my Motorola Charm MB502 porting the CM7 v0.6.3 for Flipout:

Unfortunately still no working the following features:

- Audio Mp3 cant be played. (But can use winamp to hear all music)

- Voice on call when using normal mic input. (Must to use headset)

- Orientation only in portrait mode (Launcher can be set to landscape but all system layout will rotate to portrait mode)

- Video files not working (I think because the Mp3 error) so youtube can't reproduce videos.

- USB error when disconnect.

- Cannot move apps to SD (but can use link2sd)

:eek:

I had used Holo locker, Holo launcher, and ICS theme from Theme Chooser Themes

:D

Add step 8, because some errors, change zip file link

Hi,

For someone who wants to port cm7 on Motorola charm follow these steps (Assuming your device is rooted):

1. Download and Install FlipOutRecovery from this link: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=509301&d=1296881307

2. Download the phchshow Ruth rom from this link: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxgqJrVwRKJqTTNYWVRDQVByNzA/edit?usp=sharing then put it on the root of the sdcard.

3. Download my fix file "osk386FixCharm.zip" and put it on the root of sdcard (from the attachment link below).

4. Open the FlipOutRecovery app and allow permissions, then click on "Install Recovery" button, and then click on "Reboot Recovery Mode" button. The system will reboot with clockworkmod menu.

5. Wipe data, cache, and advanced/dalvik cache

6. Select "install zip from sdcard" -- "choose zip from sdcard" -- select the ruth rom --- yes --- and wait until instalation finish.

7. Reboot then boot with recovery, clicking "vol -" Then Wipe data, cache, and advanced/dalvik cache.

8. Select "install zip from sdcard" -- "choose zip from sdcard" -- select the osk386fixCharm.zip --- yes --- and wait until instalation finish.

9. Reboot system and enjoy CM7.

:D

NOTE: The osk386fixCharm.zip file fix some issues like connectivity, keyboard, audio and video. The problem of mute sound during call still persist, you must to use headset to make calls well. Portrait mode problem still persist. You install this at your own risk I´m not responsible for rooted devices. The rom is on unstable(acceptable) state yet.

Bricked my phone

Hi,

I flashed my phone with CM7 and was able to boot from it and while trying to apply the fix for motorola charm.

I bricked my phone now it shows up M logo and I was not able to get past this. I tried to do a sbf_flash even that is not working.

Any ideas on how to make my phone work.
[Flipout and Charm General] vskram21:
After lot of attempts i was able to flash the T-Mobile_MB502_03.90.7_1FF_01.sbf. I was not able to flash any other sbf's and finally my phone is working.
[Flipout and Charm General] osk386:

[Flipout and Charm General] osk386:
Hi Calvin, actually orientation is already working with v0.6.4, but now is stuck in landscape mode, sensor not working for auto rotate UI, and now usb is more buggy, I'll try to fix this issues for MB502 this weekend.

If you want to test it just follow the steps above, but now with v0.6.4.zip and the same osk386fixcharm.zip.

I'm using this versión, I got my headphones everytime.

[Flipout and Charm General] di4bl0:

helloooo...

how can i restore my rom ....

can i use bootstrapped recovery from polo...

if so how

please i cant flash using rsdlite, it is showing nothing when connected ,,that is NOT DETECTING:crying:

:confused::confused::confused:
[Flipout and Charm General] osk386:
Bootloop may be caused by flashing a no rooted phone.

For RSDLite you have to install proper drivers for motorola MB502 in your Operating system.
[Flipout and Charm General] di4bl0:
Hi i found 2 more bugs on 6.4 rom.

Video recorder and sound recorder both fail on save the recorded data on storage card!
[Flipout and Charm General] calvin9:
But the phone is not connecting even if i install the drivers...

The phone can not boot into recovery ...

I backed up the stock rom with cwm recovey by polo

What can i do now???

I too brick mi phone :(

Hi everyone

trying to install the fix crashes the phone and the screen stays in M and I can not do nothing, pressing power + x get an error

critical error

CC00

DBAD

* and then

*

Bootloader

91.10

Err: A5, 90,4 E, 00,2 F

Help me please: (
[Flipout and Charm General] RichardBurr:
Brick help

I had similar problems with Flipout MB511. Most power on procedures ended up with M screen, then no further.

Only way forward for me was power + x, or power + (keyboard up button)

This would get me to bootloader error message, similar to what you have described above.

From there using RSD Lite - open program, plug in USB connection to PC. It should verify that there is a device connected.

Then flashed a working ROM - for me this was RUTEM_U3_01.14.2_DEBLUR_SIGNED_USARUTH15ND0RTINT054.0R_PDS000_USARUTHECEEEMARA_P017_A016_HWp3_1FF

This at least got me back to a working phone.

Then from there I have been able to work towards CM7 v0.6.4

My current issue is trying to get the appropriate bp_nvm_default files into CM7 to be able to connect to my network.

Hope this assists. I know how frustrating things get.
[Flipout and Charm General] osk386:
you should pullout bp_nvm_default files from your working STOCK rom.

Using your stock rom, use "adb pull /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/* ./bp_nvm_default_localpc" to take out your working bp_nvm_default files.

Then you must use "adb push bp_nvm_default_localpc/*" command, and set permissions with "chmod 644 bp_nvm_default/*" into the CUSTOM rom.

Dont push all the folder, just files.

Before push you have to set your system to write

"mount -o remount,rw /system'

well this is just guide, you should read well about this commands to use it at your convenience.

:fingers-crossed:
[Flipout and Charm General] osk386:
This error comes from a bad flashed rom.

You should return to stock rom

Is mandatory that you make wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache when apply an update

So, to flash CM7 rom you must before wipe all, then install the rom, and after you must wipe all and then flash the fix rom.
[Flipout and Charm General] jnseth:
Thanks i do it whit RSD at the sbf of T-Mobile, that solve my problem and flash the CM7 this time all is ok , but i dont have the sim network unlock pin :(

ok.. im new to the charm.....

i used flipot recovery and flashed cm7 to my mb502

my issue right now..... screen orientation

camera and camcorder works ok for me

though cam corder gives FC every now and then

the screen rotation is my biggest issue and i have no isues thus far with making calls or data connectivity

help me please !!!!
[Flipout and Charm General] skytechja:
they say it pays to read...

i flashed 0.6.4 and screen orientation went the proper way.. ican live with that..

havent tested out other stuff as yet though

but since the rotation is an issue....

it also affects the camera.... pictures are taken vertically....

as with 0.6.2 or 3

the screen orientation was vertical but took all pictures horizontally

in this release nothing works for camcorder for me

will update on more...

id love to port roms for this device.... :) i think it shud be fun...

but where do i start ?
[Flipout and Charm General] di4bl0:
i almost finish the porting process

use the RC2 as base rom, RC5 as a bug ho make impossible register on network after a long time before system startup on some freq.

You really can use the videocam at high quality?

RC version

RC version 2

:confused: :confused: :confused:​
[Flipout and Charm General] aleoreina:
CHARM bug's CM7

The latest version of RC5 phchshow is more stable.

What remains to solve is:

- Total system orientation in landscape mode

- Position of the camera when taking photos.

- On / Off, Rear MiniPad.

- Be able to record videos with the camera for more than 4 seconds.

- Assign an action by pressing the (camera) key.

It is recommended to use the version with the fix RC5 phchshow of Osk386.

We would be just one step away from having a stable CM7 ROM Motorola Charm.

I have been working on solving these problems and would need help from the community to solve this problem.

[Flipout and Charm General] evilwise:
I compiled this a couple years ago and never uploaded it but my "test" Charm is finally about to bite the dust so I'm going to install it on my stockpiled ones since it does work just fine. I figured I'd upload it while there's still 3G service, even if I'm the only one who ever uses it. It works with T-Mobile based prepaid sims like Mint. The file explorer is still in Chinese, I never bothered to fix that. It will run GApps too but if you install them it will gradually fill up and eventually bootloop requiring a reset. The only thing that is broken is the backtrack. It would be nice if it worked as a mouse.
[Flipout and Charm General] archtechmod:

Not necessarily true, when they originally replaced my nexus s, the one they sent me died about 3 weeks later, called them and they replaced it with a photon. Started getting random reboots on that and they sent me my sII. They cover their phones for a year I believe. Just call them and let them know what's going on, they'll send you a new one.

It will only get worse if you keep it. For the insurance premiums you pay plus the $100 you are entitled to get a problem free phone.
