I thought I was doing it right.

Downloaded the charm overclock app and put the values 1000000(1 GHz I suppose?) for frequency and 58 for vsel in the boxes.

Next thing I knew after clicking apply was a crazy vibration that didn't look like it was going to stop any time soon.

Then it turned off and voila! there was my brand new 7000Rs. brick.

They said I might get it back sometime this week.

Is this possible?

Is this posible to do in our moto?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855424

If it's possible, here are the info i've gotten from Partition Info Lite:

/dev 237 Mb (0Mb used)

/sqlite_stmt_journals 4Mb (0 MB used)

/system 178 Mb (123 MB used)

/data 171 Mb (97 Mb used)

/cache 130 Mb (4 Mb used)

/cdrom 8Mb (7Mb used)

/tmp 2Mb (0Mb used)

/psd 1 Mb (0.5 Mb used)

I think Dev Partition could be reduced to gain more fot dara partition, and system partition can be reduced too, if you erase the startup video, bootanimation and every stupid notification sound we would gain at least ~30 Mb and reducin cache to ~90 Mb and increasing the data partition We could gain like 80 MB for data Õ____Õ Please please, someone that make it work? in the post says that it needs S-Off... our moto is not s-off no?

So charm overclock app is to be blamed. I was using the milestone app all this while but then I decided I want it automatically so I used charm OC app and then my phone refuses to reboot. Stuck at M logo.

Fact is, I am dying to do something good with that device once I get it back.

Well sorry to interrupt this discussion,

As we all know Motorola Charm comes with a not so strong battery,

Has anyone tried for a replacement battery?? Not one which comes with the alternate back door and is supplied to some countries.

Other battery models which fit in well like Motorola BT7X or Motorola BH6X?? or any other company battery or any battery which has improved backup performance??

Kindly help on this

[Flipout and Charm General] akashspeaking:
The asian deblurred rom is basem 1.12.4 if I am not wrong. I read somewhere that after flashing a newer version, bootloader does not allow flashing older sbf.

Also that T-Mobil rom is probably newer than the south asian rom.

How did you get your device back so quickly? Do you live in Chennai?

I know about the Asian ROM and that NOTHINGA can be flashed after T-Mo. But I also read somewhere that you can Bypass MOTOBLUR setup and was asking instructions for the same. But then I found them back some 50 pages.

I live in delhi and he fixed it in 1 day. I was just lazy to go there and pick up the phone. He took 700 bucks. That too for software damage. Irk what did he mean but since I couldn't get RSD lite to connect so I didn't mind...

Improvements in t-mobile 3.90.7

Coming from

BASEM_U3_01.12.4

I was rather skeptical whether I should flash

Blur_Version.2.3.9007.MB502.T-Mobile.en.US

or not. (Because nothing else can be flashed after this and many people hate motoBLUR)

But then thanks to dabinao’s charm OC app, my phone had to go in for repairs and then it came back with

Blur_Version.0.2.6005.MB502.T-Mobile.en.US

:eek: (stupid repair guy). So I said screw it, and flashed

Blur_Version.2.3.9007.MB502.T-Mobile.en.US

.

And here’s what I got:

1.	Faster boot time.

2.	Better boot animation (I know it can be changed, though)

3.	Better fonts and icons to suit the Charm’s screen

4.	motoBLUR – People have mixed reviews, but personally I liked it. More on that later..:cool:

5.	Google Voice Search

6.	The automatic brightness setting now ACTUALLY works.

7.	Text messaging screwed up by motoBLUR.:(

8. (NOT SURE) Additional sensor options. (See pic)

9. Extended SYMBOL menu. (Pic)

motoBLUR

The motoBLUR feature on the T-Mo ROMs is by far the most compelling thing for me. Upon startup, you are asked to make a BLUR account. After which you can add your OTHER accounts such as facebook, twitter, picasa, yahoo mail/other email. After adding these accounts you will see that the phone gets sorta connected to these services. For example when you press icon you will be greeted by the ‘Universal Inbox’ rather than your plain text messaging app. This universal inbox will show you emails from various accounts and messages all at one place. Nifty! Next up, the contacts app has also been BLURified. You now have 3 ’tabs’. One for normal contacts viewing like in the de-BLURed roms. Second for viewing updates from twitter/facebook. And the third one for viewing history. This includes your most recent conversations (facebook/email/sms/call) with the contacts. In both contacts and universal inbox you have the OPTION of selecting/deselecting which accounts should appear. Also, there are (probably) push notifications for e-mail. (Like, BlackBerry, for those who didn’t know).

For those willing to dive in (and do the presumably irreversible) here is the guide you should followthis

BUT REMEMBER , ONCE YOU’VE FLASHED T-MOBILE, THERE’S NO GOIUNG BACK. I WILL NOT BE RESPONISBLE IF YOU DON’T LIKE BLUR/YOU PHONE DIES/ALIEN ATTACK! ;)

Actually I found out later on that the T-Mo ROM had radio pre-built. Silly me.:p Didn't check before.
[Flipout and Charm General] akashspeaking:
Do you experience any problems in making calls? Are the frequencies compatible? Any problem with telephony at all?

Did you have to unlock it or was it unlocked?

Edit: OK I got the answer. Never mind! Great job. But can you tell me how did you recover you phone by flashing when it was a hardware damage?
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
I haven't tried 3G but 2G/2.5G frequencies are compatible. Also, if we need 3G in the future, we can extract the required files as mentioned in the link in my post...

It was unlocked.

Hardware damage was repaired at the repair shop. (I took it to some wandom gu after official moto service centre people said it will cost 4k) so then he flashed T-Mo (old version)

after getting it home I flashed T-Mo (new version)
[Flipout and Charm General] akashspeaking:
The text in the images you uploaded appears to be less pixelated. Is it so with the T-Mo rom or is it just because I am seeing it on my notebook?

How much juice are you able to get out of battery? Is the phone smooth? I've read about motoblur crippling this device.
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
About the text- I can't really comment. The best way would be to view my post using the xda/tapatalk app on you phone itself.

As for battery, I'm not in a position to answer. That's because I haven't yet applied all the tweaks which I used previously. Currenty, the battery lasts a little more than usual but don't take my word for it. MotoBLUR, didn't cripple the device (the new one, anyways).

In fact push email is a lot better than manually checking mail.(which I sometimes forget)

The RSDLite fails after starting the phone in bootloader mode. No brick.

Can anyone please help me.

P.S. The touch is having problems since it came back from repairs.
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
I've been having the same issues even before the phone went in for repairs. And all this is a software problem in the android kernel for the phone but nobody can change/fix that unless the bootloader is unlocked (which is probably not gonna happen).

Hi everyone,

I just got an unlocked charm. My network is T-Mobile. It doesn't appear that my phone can connect via 3G, and I'm wondering if it's because of the ROM version:

System Version: Blur_version.0.32.209.MB502.AmericaMovil.en.01

Revision: 04

Model: MB502

Firmware Version: 2.1-update1

Build number: BASLA_U3_00.32.203

So, my question is, can I flash the TMobile ROM found in this thread with filename "T-Mobile_MB502_03.90.7_1FF_01.sbf" and get 3G functionality via T-Mobile?

Cheers!!
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
You can flash. It shouldn't cause problems with your phone. However, 3G is something I can't comment on. But you should give it a try because as it is you can't flash anything except T-Mo.

I flashed it with the tmobile firmware and now I have no service bars. Just WIFI.

Reading around the forums it seems I may need to mess with the bp_nvm_default files, but I don't know exactly what to do. I thought the TMobile firmware would work perfectly with my TMobile service. Do the overseas phones for Brazil / America Movil have different radio frequencies? Can I fix this? Even if my only option is to revert to EDGE only, I'd be happy. Right now, my phone isn't much of a phone...
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
I, too, thought the T-Mo firmware should work automatically. However, you could still make it to work. Just follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1384837. If you can't remember which ROM you previously were using, you might have to try them all. Besides, they're only a handful.
[Flipout and Charm General] n1ey:
I've installed the new T-Mobile ROM. Now what? IT works with Tmobile on WIFI? Does someone have any ideas? Should the radio files be changed? How would I make an update.zip? This might be the best method at this juncture.

thanks

[Flipout and Charm General] Cevyn:
I read around here that once you go to the TMobile firmware you can't flash any of the others because they're older. Perhaps someone with a Brazil charm can upload their entire bp_nvm_default folder (or wherever the radio drivers/configs are) and I can drop 'em into mine?

Right now,using Charm with latest T-Mobile rom which makes Charm as a good qwerty phone and good audio quality is enough at the moment... :D

For example, you can change the image that apperas whe you touch the text you are writting and a red circle appears. Or the unlock bar etc. I'm still looking for the bluettoth one.
