[Flipout and Charm General] bcpk:
What's this?
[Flipout and Charm General] mofoahh:
do i still need to root this then flash with rsd lite?
[Flipout and Charm General] mofoahh:
rsd lite 2.6 is quite old can the newer rsd lite versions be used instead?
[Flipout and Charm General] neutronscott:
That is the full flash, incase you mess up your phone you can fix it back to factory. Also, in case they later patch the root exploit, you can use this to downgrade and then root the phone.
[Flipout and Charm General] kgbd1:
I have an unlocked Telus Charm that was bricked, and I flashed it with the T-Mobile rom found at the link posted. They are the same phone, so I thought this would be fine to do, but I now have no service (actually, only extremely intermittent service—I've caught a few bars once) on my device (using a Fido SIM). Any ideas? Any source for an original Telus rom to try? Maybe someone would be willing and gracious enough to provide a Nandroid backup of a factory-state Telus Charm?? Thank you so much for any help!

Just a question. Is it possible to move apps 2 sd card on Charm? If yes, can anyone make a tutorial:)?
[Flipout and Charm General] brunojuliao:
As you could see on page 18, I was trying to make this move apps to sd thing, but still no success at all. When I tried to install the ext3.ko using insmod, it says the file doesn't exists...

:(

Have anybody already did it?
[Flipout and Charm General] matteosg:
for app2sd, please refer to post #99
[Flipout and Charm General] polovinamozga:
cp ext3.ko /system/lib/modules/

cd /system/lib/modules/

insmod ext3.ko
[Flipout and Charm General] guiprada:
you do not actualy need ext3 support for app2sd to work, you can use fat or fat32, that have builtin support.

well, this is what I did for app2sd.

-shrinked the first partition and created a 300mb second partition and formated it to fat. For this I used gparted on ubuntu, you can use a ubuntu livecd to do it, or many other linux livecd. On Windows 7 you can use the disk utility.

-I used an app from market called link2sd, which does the job well(moto shop4apps crashes when you uninstall a linked app using the android app manager).
[Flipout and Charm General] brunojuliao:
You're damn right!!!

oO'

I tried several times... But I guess size was the problem... I tried a ext2, ext3 and FAT32 with 2GB. Now, I tried a FAT32 300MB, as you mentioned, and worked! Then I resized to 1GB and is still working!

THANKS A LOT!!!!

:D
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
Great! I was trying to get links2sd to work for a long time. Btw, any idea about a GUI partition software which can partition the sd card in windows 7 / XP when i connect my charm via USB.

Also, is any other configuruation requird apart from the partitioning?
[Flipout and Charm General] brunojuliao:
I used "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" which is free and very good! I guess there is no other requirement... Pay attention at the memory size limit. I had problems using more than 1GB... Actually it says 0,99MB

:)

PS.: I used FAT32 as guiprada said ;)

Oh and you need to be root

:D
[Flipout and Charm General] Chahk:
I was able to successfully install the Clockwork Recovery v2.5.1.8 on my Charm, and boot to it. However, when I tried to take a backup it froze on the first step, "Backing up /system". I gave it a good 30 minute wait before pulling the battery.

Have I missed anything?
[Flipout and Charm General] brunojuliao:
Nope... The same here.. No Nandroid backup at this moment

Has anyone tried flashing any deBLUR ROMs yet?
[Flipout and Charm General] brunojuliao:
I tried... And is a really good one

;)

Just look this thread, someone have shared the link.
[Flipout and Charm General] guiprada:
I have been using the deblured rom,

i liked it better than the one that came stock(basla retail, my fone is blue and made in Brasil).

I also tested the basla rom that is on the web. it was nicer than my stock, but I found the deblured nicer.

what I like about the deblured is:

it boots a lot faster.

the virtual keyboard works.

has the touch screen lock : )

I could not get it rooted with universal androot, but z4 works.

I have also read that you can get in trouble flashing the T-mo rom, so I did not test it, I did not undertand why but had no particular reason to try.
[Flipout and Charm General] guiprada:
I have tried the modrecovery, It mostly works, but I get the same loop when I try to back up.
[Flipout and Charm General] guiprada:
Does anyone knows how to get just in time compilation enabled, would it be possible?
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
I did as you said and MiniTool did partition however it said windows OS will not recognise second partition and I accepted. Apps work from sd.

PARTITIONS on my 2 gig stock microSD-

General use: 1.09 GB FAT

2nd part. link2SD: 298 MB FAT

Unallocated:307.15 MB

But MiniTool shows only ONE partition (1.5GB):eek: and unallocated (307.15MB):confused:

why can't I see the link2sd partiton even in MiniTool?

Also now I'm unable to extend links2sd another 300 mb as i can't see it in MiniTool.

Please help.:confused:
[Flipout and Charm General] brunojuliao:
Is your phone connected as "memory card access"? Mine shows both partitions. Even the 2nd. It doesn't shows them all together as you mentioned...

I don't know if this can be a problem, have you created a logical or primary partition?
[Flipout and Charm General] polovinamozga:
Hmmm.

I don't know what's that.

I have T-mobile motorola charm

And nandbackup fine working.

adb shell in your phones

and getprop paste to pastebin ot other pastie service.
[Flipout and Charm General] polovinamozga:
How you did it?

Via sbf_flash or my recovery?
[Flipout and Charm General] brunojuliao:
sbf_flash

;)
[Flipout and Charm General] guiprada:
Is it safe to try to flash with modrecovery, I mean, for those of us that hava failed to complete the nandbackup?
[Flipout and Charm General] polovinamozga:
Dont know, lol.

You always can revert firmware via sbf_flash
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
Yes its memory card access.

Both are primary partitions

Do you see both your partitions in minitool or in windows explorer?

Which ROM fo you have? I have Indian ROM without motoblur, but I don't think that makes a difference, does it?
[Flipout and Charm General] guiprada:
therkr,

I am using the deblured rom and I can see both partitions normal.

Which version of windows are you running?

Did you try to mount the sd on a Card reader to see what happens?
[Flipout and Charm General] brunojuliao:
I just see the partitions on minitool

basem_U3_01.12.4 (deblurred)

Win7 as OS

It's really strange... I don't have any idea about...

:(
[Flipout and Charm General] cafterg:
Does anyone know if there is a deBLUR ROM that works with T-Mobile CHARM? I know that there are couple of deblur ROMS that work with Telus, but T-Mobile operates on different 3g spectrum.
[Flipout and Charm General] Chahk:
What happens if you flash the Telus deblur ROM on a T-Mobile Charm? Do you retain 2G (EDGE)? If so, I would flash it since don't get 3G anyway on AT&T.
[Flipout and Charm General] cafterg:
I think you will retain normal GSM connection. In my case, 2G only is not good because I am on Wind Mobile, which operates on the same spectra as T-Mobile. However, Wind Mobile works ONLY on 3G network.
[Flipout and Charm General] cafterg:
Try removing all partitions, and then partition your SD card again. Don't forget to set BOTH partitions as primary and format them (FAT or FAT32). Most importantly, when you use MiniTool, do NOT forget to click APPLY operations on the left side.
[Flipout and Charm General] therkr:
Done that. Still no luck. :(

One question though:

Can I boot into your ModRecovery without typing "sh rr.sh" in Terminal ?

Holding Arrow up doesn't bring up your ModRecovery - it Motorola's locked boot-loader.

Oh and one suggestion: Consider disabling Backtrack if possible :) first time I tried your ModRecovery I activated something by mistake and suddenly rebooted (I thought ModRecovery didn't work until I realized it was the Backtrack :)

[Flipout and Charm General] Chahk:
I'm in the same boat. As far as I can tell, you can't remove much. Apps like Happenings (and other "social" bloatware) are very tightly integrated into BlurContacts and BlurPhone and will cause them to crash if removed.

Thank you guys for all the answers. MATTEOSG i've downloaded the file, when i hit install the following message appears : '' This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?'' so...i replaced it..but the fm app didn't appear.

Then i searched on google and i found a data base application, exported from a droid x. I took two files from that archive- 1.FMRadioService.apk

2. FmRadio.apk

installed nr. 2 and now i have a radio fm app :) it's different from the original one(wich i prefer but i couldn't find it:( ), the interface is not so pretty but works like a charm :D

Oh, and another thing..HAUTZ84 you might be right with the battery life on 12.4 .

Using apps-to-sd on Charm almost makes it usable again. My wife just downloaded 30+ recipe apps (yeah, I know) and the phone still has 119 MB free.

It's still a bit sluggish though. Could be BLUR getting in the way, or the fact that the SD Card is only Class 4. Does anyone know if the sqlite3 patch applies to the Charm?
