[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Hacktopus:
Eight legged beast Cracks open a lazy method...

Ok, here is how I did it. Some googleing will be required to find the appropriate downloads. As the header implies, Hacktopus is lazy...

!. Get instantroot, and install it with astro or linda file manager. I prefer the later. Read up on how to run it, because an actual paperweight is much cheaper than what you may end up holding in your hand

2. You need to be rooted with su, and have sprecovery on your phone. Also, do your homework kiddies...

3. I installed the smokedglass 6.0.1 rom, flawlessly, on my devour. Any rom should work, this is just the most stable and preferred by me. Adamz the Shwizzle with roms.

If I had a camera that wasn't attached to my phone, I would be more than happy to send you screen shots and the like. I'm sure I can remedy this with no problem if I have any disbelievers among us. Any questions, feel free to drop me a line at eljefe77@live.com. However, this is my junk email, and it may take me a few days to reply.

This method has also been tested on my previous eris, and my motodroid. I upgraded from the eris to the moto, then to the devour. The motodroid is nice, but due to my destructive physical demeanor and multiple insurance claims, the devour is my type of durable. Its everything but waterproof. After over clocking, the devour eats any stock droid as a snack...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SoulAtSleep:
I would love to hear some more news on this and I would like to run Froyo on my Devour, or at LEAST Eclair. Would be nice. Going to look into Hactopus's methods as well pretty soon and will report back.

sprecovery?

OK until trying to start sprecovery. Power + x does not load it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ITFloater:
anyone have anything new on this? I have tried but of course Power+X doesnt work because on the devour it is Power E+Space but even trying myself i am unable to get my phone to load into sprecovery, the best i get is the moto logo stuck.. then i pull the battery turn it back on and it comes up fine. ideas?

try R + SPACE + PWR
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dna24:
i've been trying that all night and all it does is hang on the m screen, the only thing i can do is yank the battery and start over, i have no idea why its not working for me cause apparently its fine for the majority. i saw on another forum someone had the same problem but no solution was found.

are you rooted already?

try doing

adb shell

I tried this a lot too both rebooting from adb and pwr+shift+r and a few others and i would get the M and stay there. any more info or anything else would be greatly appreciated and i am willing to help with possible testing. This device really needs a custom rom and since it has pretty much been dropped by motorola and verizon soon it would be nice to have a community pick it up as it does have a pretty good design and at least okay specs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lj27416:
I see you said "shift" instead of "space"

Try it like this in this exact same order:

r - space - pwr

then keep holding r - space until it enters recovery
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dna24:
this is a post form a different forum: Dave Lister

Thanks to some info from our own bill23, we can now get into the bootloader of the Devour. Remove the battery, plug in a USB/power cable, and hold down E and R at the same time. At the moment, there's nothing we can do w/ this, but who knows what the future holds? Next step for me is accessing recovery mode. Any ideas on that one guys?

i havent tried it yet and still r + space + pwr doesnt work for me, i can hold r + space till it boots normal, does anyone know how to hard reset w/o going into recovery or bootloader?

p.s. so since i dont own the devour and its my girls, i dont always have the phone to play with but i did have her reboot holding the e and r and it did boot differently which is a start but it wasnt recovery mode. i assume it booted into bootloader now if i can get it to do recovery......
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ITFloater:
I have tried this and can vouch for its validity, anyone have anything more on how the bootloader can be used? i thought it was locked btw...???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ConfusingBoat:
I was wondering how you were able to get SPRecovery to work correctly on the Devour. I've also tried Clockwork Recovery and they both freeze on the Motorola logo.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dcarr622:
Anyone have the latest information about SPRecovery or Clockwork on the Devour? It would be nice to get started creating ROMs/update.zip scripts that we could flash through recovery.

Question, does the Devour stock recovery require signed zips? If not, do we even need custom recovery?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tomtripp21:
How did you get 2.2 on your Devour. I rooted my girlfriend's yesterday, and I am looking for a way to flash 2.1 or 2.2 on it...any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mslatter:
Bump!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ITFloater:
dont know if anyone is still looking but has anyone come across a way to unlock the bootloader to try and crack it? i think it would likely be the first step in the right direction.... no use in trying to flash a custom rom if we do not have full access to the bootloader to do so... right?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] p_025:
Bumpity bump. Somebody has got to have some news or at least progress on this, some Devour users are really sick of Android 1.6 and the random resetting problems it can have.

I know this thread is dead but I'll try and bring it back to life...

Can anyone halp me with clockwork mod recovery on the moto devour???

When I use Rom Manager to "flash clockwork mod recovery" it does not reconize my device... Help Please!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ITFloater:
I will try to answer some questions here. As for clockwork mod there is not currently support for our device. Clockwork uses an exploited or unlocked boot loader to be able to run custom recovery and flash custom roms. Unfortunately for us our device is one of the many that Motorola decided needed to have a locked, signed and RSA encrypted boot-loader. With our loader being Signed and encrypted unless we can somehow crack the encryption on the signature to be able to unlock the boot-loader there will be no way to perform full flash and custom rom booting functions. The other big problem here is that Verizon has discontinued our device and Motorola has or will soon be dropping support for the devour. All of these factors together have led to this thread taking a plunge into deep dark death.. Now if one of the milestone groups were to come up with the correct algorithm or unlock something or if we as a group of devour owners/users could come up with the correct algorithm to decode the RSA signature on the devours locked boot-loader it would at least put us one step closer to being able to build a custom rom and make it work on our device however until that day.. it is likely just a moot point. Verizon doesn't care about us, Motorola doesn't care about us and for the most part the android community in general does not care about our device...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] olikua:
and what about clockwork for droid X,

it has bootloader similar to Devour... maybe somebody can try to adjust it for devdur

Hey guys,

I have a problem on 3 of my Touch Pro 2's. The data seems to have stopped working on all 3 of them and all 3 have the 9.99 web2go. Up to that point 3G net was working great using internet2.voicestream.com for 6 months. Im thinking tmobile is starting to block out smartphones on the web2go service.

As a side note i switched the phone to Edge and the net worked for about 10 min then stopped switched back to 3G worked for about a 1min and stopped.... Then i switched to the Android app and the data is working fine now for about 20 min

I'm wondering if I should flash my phone to a different rom then the stock wm6.1 and see if it continues to not give me data. They must be screening the operating system or something???

Hi

I rooted my G1 a while back and everything was fine I have then updated to the latest version of cyanogen 5.0.7 and some of the standard google apps are not showing in the launcher but are showing under manage applications below are some of them

Amazon mps

SlideME Application Manager

Work Email

YouTube

Can anyone think of what I have done wrong, I am unsure on when these disappeared whether before or after the latest update. I have tried to reinstall ERE36B Google Addon but still no luck.

Thank you for any help

Cheers

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] madamson86:
I have managed to fix this by doing a wipe and reinstalling everything. I think this was caused by one of the themes I had on 4.0 as it hide some of the apps in the launcher, but when I updated to the new version I could no longer use that theme.
[EVO 4G General] senork:
I emailed all the Relay regional reps (there are 3 of them) One didn't answer, one was vague, but one gave me some hope.

#1: It will be available on june 4th and more information will provide on same time. Check our website www . sprintrelaystore . com

#2: Yes, we are working on the discount plan. Keep an eye on www . sprintrelaystore . com on June 4th.

I bet it will be available for the $30 SRDO rate plus the $10 Evo penalty.

$40 seems like a good deal to me. I'll keep my SERO for voice calls while I sort out sipdroid and see how feasible cellular voip will be.

No sprint relay plan for EVO unless you are deaf

Boy was I bummed this morning. I tried to order the EVO from the Sprint Relay store, but now they require you to have a videophone to confirm the order. I chatted with the online rep and she confirmed that you have to prove you're deaf (or hard or hearing) to get the EVO. She said this was a new requirement with the EVO.

I had skipped my 9 A.M. scheduled pick-up for my Best Buy pre-order thinking that I was going to just order online for the data-only plan, but I was denied. Now rescheduled for 1:30 P.M. and have to waste the extra $40/month for the voice I'll rarely use.

I have little use for my data plan. I find anytime I can sit down and play on the web, I’m not far from a WIFI hot spot. I do like Google navigation as a flawed but useful GPS system.

-The question is, does Google maps and Navigation require constant data communication through my data plan, or can I simply park in front of a WIFI coffee shop, plan my route, download maps. Then logout, and be on my way.

-If not, any workarounds? Get all the maps and use them with some other free-ish gps system?

-Has the advent of Google Nav. made any other 3rd party, turn by turn, GPS apps more affordable?

-What else am I likely to miss (Google has so many tentacles into my phone…and me I wonder)

Thanks In advance
[Networking] CRACING:
Hello,

I think only google maps only require data connection as it downloads maps from there server so thats why, the app is small. May be there are similar app.

As of tomtom, garmin and etc, thay don't require data connection but just the gps connection where you can get easily. And as you see, these apps are bigger and you have to buy the map to use the app. Of course the app also.

Best Regards
[Networking] josefcrist:
I use navicomputer http://navicomputer.com/ no data required after you download your maps.
[Networking] nellyspageli:
google navigation downloads the whole route when u calculate it. if you get off track though, you may be out of luck. it will only zoom out and show u where the route is so you can get back on track. unless ur destination has data, you wont be able to reverse the route either.

i would recommend getting tomtom, garmin or similar programs.
[Networking] pk2:
Interesting, thanks guys

I guess I was think most about “Google Navigation” most. It doesn’t take a lot of data to describe a 3d intersection or a lot of CPU/gpu horsepower to drive through it on the screen. I don’t really know how much an android has.

Navicomp looks great for some things I do but for navigating new places, 3d type gps really works well for me. Last time I looked, TomTom and Garmin weren’t available for Android.

I think I’ll just test Navigation if I remember tomorrow, plan a route, get going, turn the data off (if I can figure that out) and see what happens.

I’ll report back,

NAVIGATION COMPUTER Reply

Looks like "NaviComputer" as suggested above would be your best bet if you've got the space for it. If you're on a Sprint device, you could switch to Boost Mobile which has unlimited free internet with all its plans from PayAsYouGo to Monthly Unlimited. Granted EvDo is always pretty darn slow, so depending on how much free space you've got inside, you may wish to go with NaviComputer, plus you won't have to deal with signal issues either.

Best of Luck.

[Networking] _ice_:
if you're a heavy gps user (like me) data is essential. I mean there are alternatives that you can pre download maps on your sd card, but they fill up your storage quick, and aren't as convenient. also you need to manually update them which is a pain. With google maps you have real time traffic updating, business hours and what not. It is pretty convenient, I average over 400 miles of driving a week within my city (my job requires me to travel around), and tell you what I haven't missed one exit using google nav.

As far as the pricing of the data, you can always ask for student discount, employee discounts, or even a preferred loyalty plan. I am actually getting unlimited 4g from tmo (5gb data cap) for $20 a month :D while one of my friend only gets 200mb for $15 a month....
[Networking] kainppc6700:
DATA Reply

Boost Mobile has always unlimited data too for situations like these. If you are just shooting for data only, using the pay as you go plan with just one or two calls/messages every once in a while will help you go far.

I actually don’t drive that much, but when I do, north or south of home (Orange county CA) I’m a babe in the woods, GPS is really nice. I also feel it should be an integral part of my ride.

So what does it take to be come a “student” (some basic photoshop & a document layout program skills?) And definitely, what does it take to become a preferred loyalty plan?

I pay $30+ unlimited. One issue I have is I could go on a “per kb” plan. The problem is I haven’t a clue how many kb say, 10 miles of google nav will use or, the occasional web search for an address or web site requires in Kb’s (and $’s). I’ve look for an app that could count the kb’s to see if it's cost effective, but no luck.

(I had one phone I picked up and unlocked. It Made $800 worth the 3g calls all by itself overnight.)
[Networking] _ice_:
a student discount means you have to actually attend a college or university that can be verified by the loyalty department.

also you can ask for a grandfathered plan if you have been a customer for awhile.

if you have an android which I believe you do according to your signature. get the 3g watchdog app if you're running on a limited data plan. it automatically shuts off your data (4g supported now I believe) and changes your APN settings to prevent virtually anything from connecting to the data network (MMS won't work unless you do the spoof workaround). but as far as per kb$ don't get the plan it just a train wreck, depending on the background apps, ROM, type of apps you get the data usage can range from 1kb-2 mb an hour per app.

For instance HTC sense uses more data (per kb/mb) than an AOSP rom. why? friendstream and all that junk that stays on, as opposed to no junk on aosp.

So do some more research and testing and you will find the best service for your buck :) (took me about 3 months to lower my bill to a suitable amount) but now its well worth it
