Above thread shows some way to upgrade

I dont think it is genuine

Any comments?:confused:

If you go to next and previous post, you can see that every phone has an zip with the same name. I think it's spam... as some people said, the charm kernel can only support android 2.2 not 2.3

Can't Flash SBF.

I went for that but It's not working :(

Flashed it through RDS Lite 5.6 finished working but...

Downloaded the SEA SBF Twice, flashed both the sbf and tar, Still Not Working...
[Flipout and Charm General] hsr0:
Oh, there was another T-Mo ROM where it was uploaded but that is also down.
[Flipout and Charm General] JeTJL:
If anyone knows where to get the T-Mo Rom, Please Send me a Link, It's not my phone but I severely F'd Up my sis's. I Might have to give up my nice HTC sensation to her... :(

Edit:

Found the T-Mobile SBF File, had to go to another site to get it, But I think I may have permanently Bricked the Charm. Got stuck on the Please Manually Power On the Phone but couldn't. (Nothing was showing on the Screen on the Charm) Followed other posts where they said to remove the USB cord then the battery and wait 5 seconds then plug it back in. Couldn't Turn it on still... Closed RSD Lite and open up a new one but couldn't detect it.

Edit: Edit: Battery Low? got it to show something...
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
Try starting up the phone pressing powerbutton+uparrow and conecting it to rsd lite and flash it.

I'm not a developer. :(

I don't have much knowledges in coding or such. Hope I can help.

All those widgets might be located inside frameworkres.apk

Nice find. Waiting your further progress. :)

I think it's a fake. Don't find any links.

Which Market? Does Play Store work on your Charm? I've tried installing it but can't parse which means not working on Eclair.

If you have used T-Mo ROM before,you will stuck with it forever. You can't flash Basla or Basem on your Charm.

What ROM are you using? Waiting for your tutorial. I've tried with method from DroidX but failed.

You can't flash Basla on your previous T-Mo ROM. I'll try uploading the latest T-Mo ROM. But my connection is slow. I'll keep trying. :)

this is essentially same as flipout but without the backpad right?

so how come we don't get a forum

Yes! I guess I will start removing blur components manually. I ran the script twice. It bricked my phone the first time, and the second time, my phone got stuck loading the script.

2.- Put it in a folder (ex: C:\xu)

3.- Run Main.exe file with your Charm connected in Charge Only mode, wait for it to start.

4.- Press de 1st option and wait, press the second option and wait. Close the program.

5.- Open the Origi_frame folder and copy com.google.android.gtalkservice.jar to Jar folder.

6.- In jar folder, edit app-dep.txt file and add this : com.google.android.gtalkservice.jar

7.- go to origi_app and copy CMP.apk, Blur-services.apk and Superuser.apk (and their respectives .odex files ) to a secure folder, and delete them from origi_app folder.

Hope this help Guys.
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
Maybe I should try in ignore mode, but I'm scared of having to reflash the SBF -.- it can cause CMP BLurs services and Superuser don't working... i don't mind CMP but Blur-services seem to be important...

Talking from my new deodexed phone. :D
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
Hey I've a problem, or question :S, I downloaded the SBF of my mobile, flahsed and now, deodexing my phone, I found no .odex files WHAT?

any ideas?
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
Hey In China Motorola Charm seems to be very popular, here is a forum with custom roms, themes etc, everything in chinese of course -.- it's a big progress, i'm searching a deodexing tutorial there...

Here's the link : http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-405-1.html
[Flipout and Charm General] hsr0:
I was surprised that this wasnt so popular as i expected :P.

With the Physical Keyboard and the backtrck this was a sweet little phone :D.

WIll google translate do the job?
[Flipout and Charm General] huatz84:
Glad to hear that. :)

Any other ROM besides the stock one is better. CM5 sounds nice. We're all hoping for it.

I've contacted the XDA moderator before and he said our community seemed little interest so he considered not giving a forum. :(

Here's the latest Market for Charm : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26023831/Charm/Market_2.0.apk

Nice guide,dude.. This will help us a lot. Thanks!!

I'll try deodexing with your method and reporting the progress. Maybe this monday I'll start deodexing coz I got a busy weekend here. :)

That's what I got before. It said no odex files found. :confused:

Nice again,dude. Thanks a lot!!

I think it will.. ;)

As physically,Charm has a good design. A little sweety phone to mod. Let's start from now on so we can share anything we know in order to get custom ROM soon. :cool:
[Flipout and Charm General] hsr0:
Well im working on CM5.

But downloading the source is taking ages :/
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
I'm not a dev but I thought it would be better to work directly on cm6, maybe?

(Not that I don't appreciate CM5) :P

Best of luck. We have hopes from you. ;)
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
Of course, put the link in translator, but for downloads you will need to put it withoiut google translate, here is an interesant software that I found there :D

It forces to rotate the screen, and this hepls a lot with games.

http://bbs.gfan.com/android-3285693-1-1.html

Use with google translate from chinese to your language
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
Here you have

Here you have the app to force rotation that I said in my last post, and I found a working camera360 on our charm, both tested. I put this here becouse is difficult to download from that Chinese web, to make it easies for you
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
What does this do exactly?

Will it give ability for full 0, 90, 180 and 270 rotation options?
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
Look at here, from where I downloaded it. It forces games to be in landscape, for example doodle Jump, in that web you can see a picture of Doodle Jump in landscape mode. If you don't understand me, just install it and try it, it isn't going to brik your phone :D
[Flipout and Charm General] hsr0:
Well CM5 seemed to be a better start than 2.2. Lets hope :D
[Flipout and Charm General] akashspeaking:
Thanks a lot! That was an amazing find!!! :D:D:D

It successfully rotated galaxy, ninja morph and aldiko (I haven't tested anything else as of now)

It adds thick black borders though. But hey! thats still loads better than having to turn the phone everytime. Its the only time I hate its qwerty pad.
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
Some cool mods,

With ninjamorph select /System/framework/framework-res.apk

Then go to drawable ldpi folder and find two images that are the cursor, I've done one that looks like windows one.
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
Use google translate.

This is for gamers ;D

[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
You didn't require a USB mod. I was in the same situation as you about a month ago. Tha thing is, out charm can charge battery even when the ROM is not working because it's baked into our locked bootloader.

Hey, I recomend you guys to download temple run (it's free on the market) and now, with the force rotator program it works perfect in landscape mode :D

P.S. I finally did it! And it took just 40 minutes (including research and flashing once with RSD lite)

Guide coming by next week.

Hey! Awesome, I made it to my charm, but I didn't like and Ireatored the sbf, after all the white one isn't so bad, this weekend I'll make a tuto for changing the default cursor with one like the windows 7 one that I posted before.

[Flipout and Charm General] hsr0:
Or you could make a app.
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
I'm not a dev. per se. Just know a little of C++. I'll look over once though..

How's your CM5 dev going? Any progress?
[Flipout and Charm General] hsr0:
Well still downloading the source. Since development on it stopped, the source code has had switching of owner/change of project sites.

So i had to fork out the manifest.xml and make changes to point to the right servers/projects.

So no actual work has gone in, only sorting out the source code download files.

About 110/162 projects have been downloaded. Hopefully I can begin work tomorrow.
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
I'm working on BlurContact to find the file wich contains the contact name chooser, to make it choose the name you put when you created the contact instead of the fb or twitter name.

Continue working guys ;D

Whats your avg battery life with a blurred device?
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
I,ve a semi deblurred device, I erased blur home every stupid program etc, but I left the contacts the twitter and facebook widgets etc. Mi battery life is like 1,5 days without using it a lot, and 20 hours using it.
[Flipout and Charm General] hsr0:
well I downloaded the source, spent sleepless nights just to know that the download had failed. Now im too frustrated to restart the 9 GB download. Maybe next month ill look into it again.
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
WTF!! D: The scource is only one compressed file or various files?, if it's one file, just do it with Jdownloader, if the download stops, the file doesn't dissapear, it can be continued downloading.
[Flipout and Charm General] hsr0:
I think you didn't get me. what I meant by failed is that the source code downloaded had many problems such that I would I have redownload them by correcting some links in the download manifest.

the os is a compilation of various projects worked on on by different people separately, it isn't one single compressed file.
[Flipout and Charm General] hsr0:
Well let me try once more but this time with AOSP froyo
[Flipout and Charm General] s0e0r0a:
Yes please! Keep trying :D

Hello.

I bought a Motorola Charm from an Ebay user two months ago. I live in Spain and this user was in USA.

The Charm is for use on T-Mobile USA network, and I try to unlock it by IMEI unlock code two times, but the network lock is still enabled.

Both unlock code sellers told me that possibly the old user try to unlock it by IMEI code too many times and the phone may be no able to unlock. It's that true? How can I do to know that?

It's there a way to unlock it ?

Thank you!

I'll appreciate your answer in this matter.
[Flipout and Charm General] polovinamozga:
Hi.

For unlock your moto you must use RadioComm v11.3.2 or other version.

Im using linux gentoo and run it in Virtual Machine.

Also u can google it for "radicom subsidy code"
[Flipout and Charm General] brunojuliao:
What about the rom development? Any news???

[Flipout and Charm General] dvfk:
How can I flash *.bin or *.img ? (your new recovery tool)

ROM Manager and current Recovery only accept *.zip files.

RSD Lite only accepts *.shx *.sbg and *.hs files.
[Flipout and Charm General] dvfk:
It seems 11.3.2 is too old (2006) for the Charm that came out 2010.

Getting the lock status says:

-----------

Sending 'SBSDY_LCK' command with data '00' to the radio...

Sent to radio:

TC Send Header: 0000003500010000

TC Send Data: 00

SBSDY_LCK ==>FAILED

Error Description ==> Failed attempt to send test command, Test Command Interface is not present.

-----------

I've tried RadioComm v11.9.0 but that wouldn't intall unless I had .Net 2 and .Net 2 wouldn't install because it's "incompatible with the current version" - so I guess I must uninstall .net 3.5 (and install .Net 2) to get RadioComm v11.9.0 working.
[Flipout and Charm General] dvfk:
Actually the screen is fine if you rotate it 90 degress and turn off Auto-brightness :)

Two bugs:

1) Charm's screen is made for portrait viewing.

2) Auto-brightness doesn't turn up the brightness enough outside.

Unlock by module

http://www.motoxtreme.info/showthread.php?t=10062

Maybe if author public sources of his module i can build it for charm or flipout.

But it maybe working!
[Flipout and Charm General] polovinamozga:
Hm.

so much people do not understand that file-extension does not mean something usefull, it's just a letters.

For example u can dump u system image in image.bin or image.img.

>*.shx *.sbg and *.hs

Proprietary formats.I've never used them.

Moto Charm its my girlfried phone, and she does not allow me hack it :3
[Flipout and Charm General] polovinamozga:
I using 11.3.2 and alls fine.

>Interface is not present.

Try to run first "Scout" for Motorola and after RadioComm

Enjoy your Windows
[Flipout and Charm General] dvfk:
Thanks but which flash program can write image files to my Charm?

Your image file is the wrong format, right?

You are right that file-extensions of course. So I checked the headers of your files and I don't think your img/bin file format is accepted by the motorola RDSLite flash program (only SUPERFIL format I think) - not image files.

And the Motorola recovery boot tool only accepts signed zip-files (update.zip) - not image files.
[Flipout and Charm General] dvfk:
Ok great I will use v11.3.2 then! Thanks.

> Try to run first "Scout" for Motorola

Aha! Thanks. You mean...

I'll try that! - thanks
[Flipout and Charm General] polovinamozga:
You can write images with flash_image

2. restore.zip (original framework-res.apk and services.jar from T-Mo SBF)

However on flashing nothing happens...:confused:

Cant enter Bootloader :(

I need to enter the bootloader of my Charm.

I know to do so, i need to hold the Up key + Power Key. But the Up Key of my Charm doesnt work ever since it fell off my hands, and is damaged beyond repair now.

Is there any alternate method to enter to bootloader mode?

I really need to flash a new sbf asap. :(

Thanks in advance.

Hoping for a quick response..!!
[Flipout and Charm General] hsr0:
Is your phone booting up? Or are you flashing sbf to get it to work.

On a side note. Im having installation aborted errors with my test ROM. But it must be due to signature checking errors

Its working alright... its just that i want to flash a fresh sbf over the present one.

Any work around for my problem ? :(
[Flipout and Charm General] akashspeaking:
If you have terminal emulator type the folllowing:

su
reboot bootloader

Otherwise, connect your device to pc, enable usb debugging and open command prompt. Give the following:

Tell me if it helps

Is there any clockwork recovery for the Charm as well ?

Rsd is recognizing my Moto Defy but not my Charm.

What can the problem be ?
[Flipout and Charm General] Sidz4u:
Also tell how to deal with the .sbf.gz extension ?
