Ok, root confirmed on the M2!

z4root (install directly from Android Market) works our of the box for Milestone 2 (model A953) if you use the Permanent root option, temporary root won't work. The process may take up to 5 mins...
[Milestone 2 General] Mackattack:
No, the D2G can be unlocked(either calling Verizon up and asking nicely or a third party method to get the unlock code) to use on any GSM carrier except in the US(expected because Verizon/Vodaphone rather you use it on their carrier instead of the competition).
[Milestone 2 General] JSWinston:
Just one more confirmation that Z4root works. My phone did freeze up once while running it, but after a battery pull everything was fine and I had root.

We need a new forum for the Milestone 2 development

Hi,

I dont know if any moderators from xda is looking but we need a separate forum for the milestone 2...

AS WE HAVE ROOT..

then hopefully Cyanogen..
[Milestone 2 General] yudhistre:
I have been hearing about something that is quite serious...

Is the bootloader still locked as it was on the Milestone 1?

Is there any way we can confirm that the bootloader is not locked (maybe a droid 2 rom ported to milestone 2)??
[Milestone 2 General] JSWinston:
The bootloader is locked, all Motorola high end phones will have a locked bootloader going forward (you don't even have to ask).
[Milestone 2 General] airpmobile:

Will Rooting remove MotoBlur?

Hi All

I got the M2 and hate Motoblur so would like to remove it, will Rooting enable me to do this or uninstall some of the crap that comes with the M2?

Also before I Root how can I backup the original ROM just in case I need to go back to the factory ROM?

Sorry for the noobie questions but I had the M1 before this and never needed to do a thing with it as it run stock Android and I loved it.

Many thanks.
[Milestone 2 General] foreman31:
Just install Launcher Pro and you won`t see motblur.

As for backing up, clockwork recovery works but you need root for that.

z4root I think it`s called will do it
[Milestone 2 General] Dead Cell:
Foreman31, Z4Root worked a treat to root so thanks for that,

I alread have LauncherPro installed but even then get all these connection found and other crappy motoblur stuff pop up and just hate it.

I couldn't find the app to make a BACKUP of my original ROM, would you be kind enough to link me to the software please?

Also, are there any clean stock 2.2 Roms available for the Milestone 2 now that I have root?

Thanks for your help.
[Milestone 2 General] foreman31:
The app you need to back up your current rom is Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap

Here is a link to Modmymobile where you can find Milestone 2 firmwares, although I am sure they are with MotoBlur.

Kinda-Sorta New MS2 user

Hey, I've had my Milestone 2 for abt 6 months and am thinking of rooting it. Out of the 2 mentioned, which is the safest? What can I use to back up my info and such? What are the chances of bricking?
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
Lol not sure a thread from last year was the best place to ask that o.0 buuut;

I'm guessing you are still on stock froyo. If so z4root is very easy and I highly recommend it. It's a one click root so no idea how you could stuff it up. As long as you start with a fully charged battery you should be fine if anything goes wrong. Z4root may freeze but after reboot it should be fine. Once you see superuser has installed, you know it worked. If it didn't work, just run again. And do permanent root (I have no idea if temp. works or not..)

As for backing up. Droid2bootstrap will allow you to boot into clockwork mod recovery and you can make a backup there. (Note that this will only boot into CWM from the app, and you can't enter it while booting normally). Once in CWM use the volume up and down buttons to navigate to backup/restore and then select create backup.

I don't think you'll run into any problems just rooting, but if you do, RSD lite will get it working again and with the locked boot loader, you can't really do too much damage. (Except if you do what I did and let you battery run too long and then not have enough charge to run bootloader, and no OS to initiate the charge sequence.... good times)
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
Oh and you can get the install files for z4root and droid2bootstrapper off 4shared.com
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
z4root is useless (at least it was on my new M2, so it seems already patched) use SuperOneClick instead

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandroid:
Hi, few days ago on a long drive while I was using the phone (music, gps, wifi scanning) suddenly it run out of internal memory, everything stopped working. I had to reboot it, it was still not fine, but since I was driving I just stopped paying attention to it. Next day it seemed to work again but since then I can't use my wifi.

Activating wifi says few seconds later "unable to scan for networks" and it deactivates itself again. Before I try with factory reset and lose all my settings I wanted to ask here for help. I found some similar problems in forum or google but its about other phones and nothing helped so far.

The wifi is not broken because thetering works - others can use my phone as AP, but I can't use the wifi to connect to any network :-(

N1, Android 2.2, FRF91, Rooted with one click universal root.

Thanks for any advice.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
Turn off Wifi, download and use "Cache Cleaner" on Market,

or go to recovery, wipe dalvik cache and cache.

reboot your phone and see if it solves the problem.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandroid:
This didn't help.

Should I do a backup first?

Will (some of or all) my settings be gone after this?

BTW: Something strange happens with my N1, yesterday and today after turning off, when I turned it on, the phone vibrated few times (around 7) shortly, screen remained black and I was not able to turn it on. Removing battery for a second helps.

Maybe I should finally move to Cyanogen, I think I will like it, but I never flashed a phone before, I'm scared I could break it.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] wvumaniac79:
So i found the aosp beta 4 rom and noticed it had the stock notification bar. Is there anyway to pull the notification bar from that rom and apply it to cognition 2.2 with metamorph?

Edit:I just realized this should be in the captivate Q&A feel free to move it.
[Epic 4G General] Slvrshot:
Is anyone having this same problem? I can make calls, and turn on the speaker phone but if I try to play a game or listen to music the device does not output sound. The only way it will is if I put on headphone or as I said try to make a call. After making a call and using speakerphone I am able to resolve the sound issues but it returns after a while.

Help!!

Note: I would have posted this is the Baked Snack thread but it is currently closed.
[Epic 4G General] art3mis-nyc:
you also should have noticed that he's been banned for not releaseing his GPL sources or following the rules, as such, feel free to use google and get support there, because XDA is not the place for support for this rom.
[Epic 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
True but I'm running his rom and kernel now and the battery life is just crazy ridiculous this guy is talented but he's an outlaw haha
[Epic 4G General] MyRCode:
Definitely the best Epic ROM I've used so far. Fantastic battery life. I was using his ROM on the Evo also.

You can try his website...

Guess I'll be going there from now on for updates.
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
Non-compliance with the GPL isn't something to screw around with. Getting the FSF involved over a GPL compliance violation ruins it for everyone because they aren't in the business of screwing around. They'll take legal action.

So yeah, he obviously makes some quality roms, but in that process, he's ruining things for everyone else. XDA is very familiar with GPL violations as they've had to deal with them before and as sad as it may be, they are doing the right thing. Otherwise, they get mixed up in the legal mess caused by the violator.
[Epic 4G General] nadcicle:
I've seen all the argue over the GPL agreement and such, but isn't he technically not really refusing the GPL. Simply just not giving what he has done with it. I don't see that as any real world violation.

That's like making air better and charging for it.. You have your water do what you want with it .. don't take his away.

Besides, why would you want to cast out someone for having something you want. That is so communism if I have ever heard it.

Sorry if I offend anyone, but out of all the rom's I had never tried anything baked snack until all the talk about him getting banned started circling around.

I couldn't possibly of imagined why you would of banned him after running his rom and kernal for 1 day and seeing that my battery has lasted longer than any other rom I have ran.

If anything I think as small as this Epic community is we should be begging him to come back and join in as a whole.. I mean common we have like 3 or 4 real roms to choose from.

I seriously implore some reconsideration on behalf of the Epic 4g owners and developers to put their heads together instead of competing for having the faster this, or longer lasting that, and try to make something that we all wanted this phone to really be. I haven't went over 13 hours on any other rom with 1 hour talk time or more before a dead battery. This guy is doing something others just aren't.

As it stands I am at 43% after a 13 hr 43 min day unplugged with these as the culprits

Voice calls: 70% - 1 hr 6m

Display: 14% - 51m

Cell Standby: 9% - Time on 13 hr 43min timewithoutsignal 0%

Phone idle: 7% - Time on 12hr 55m

Bluetooth: 3% - Time on 9hr 42m

And I am gonna let it sit overnight tonight, of course as im typing im getting another phone call, but whatever.....

Ok anyways, I was struggling to get through a 13 hour day before, but now I feel as if I slid right through it without any problems.

Even if this doesn't sway any decisions I would like this to show as my public appreciation for his work for using his baked 1.6 xtreme kernel
[Epic 4G General] art3mis-nyc:
Thats the same tired arguement as letting hollywood starlets and attention whores not serve jail time cuz "they make movies we enjoy"

rules are rules they're there for a reason, how would you like the community if NOTHING was posted open source and you had to buy every rom or app or theme that was made and psoted here because "hey i made it why should i give it free"

seriously, i think demotivation said it best.
[Epic 4G General] xjman:

Hero is a beast!!!

His rom has gotten me 3 hours and 30+ mins of ONSCREEN time and no rom ever came close

This is SCREEN TIME ON

And the speed is no slouch let me tell ya

But anywho peace out

[Epic 4G General] nadcicle:
Whether he talked about charging for it or not. You can still ultimately download it for free from his site.

Instead of demanding something of someone there could of been a bit more of an open door agreement I must say though. I might have gotten defensive myself if the problem did arise.

I wouldn't waste my time on this guy if I didn't feel like he wasn't a loss to development. You guys fail to see that we do not have hardly anyone here. After seeing stuff like this it's no wonder people troll over from the evo forums just to tell us how crappy our development is coming and to come switch to an evo.

Im not by any means saying what you guys say he done was wrong. I just had my own way and opinion of it to compare it to. I simply ask you to try the thing for yourself and see what's up.

Furthermore, I'd like to thank those that do help do any kind of development for this phone.
[Epic 4G General] art3mis-nyc:
Yeah but thats NOT what GPL is.

GPL allows you to take any source and modify it as you see fit. If someone requests source you're obliged to give it to them(which is what happened, someone asked for source and Hero had a kitten). If you decline to give source you are no longer covered by GPL and can ONLY use it in house without distributing to anyone outside of there. Or making profit from it.

plain and simple.

as I've said before...

The remaining devs doing the kernels and roms share thier work, they post for others to use an integrate, it goes both ways, you can't come to the forum steal the work from others(no matter how trifle) add your own work and then claim it's mine you cant have it but i'd still like to distribute it.

There is no reason you can't ask or help in any regard to your epic, I would advise posting it in the Q&A section.

Start with the basics, and move up...reboot, if that doesntwork, start with the wiping. Dalvic and cache, and if that doesn't work...you may have no choice but to wipe eveything and try a fresh flash. If THAT doesn't work, give odin a call. If THAT doesn't work, id assume it was a hw issue.

Sorry for hijacking the thread and all
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
I love his rom and ultimate kernel. No other rom here can match the battery life. I have been told by cookers and helps of syndicate rom that my phone is a black sheep. If that is the case, why on this one rom I can get awesome battery life with similar usage and setup. I would even try to underclock the same with all roms and get much better results of 15+ hrs phone time.
[Epic 4G General] nadcicle:
The reason why we are called liars is cause we are the ones that actually use it.

It is a natural human instinct it seems to cast out or kill what isn't known before finding out what it is.

I have tried every single 2.1 rom that was made available here for the epic publicly. I've even flashed back to stock with odin each individual time as to make sure I was giving each one a fighting chance.

I still don't see what the ops problem is with sound, but I would try going cleanly back to stock with odin first and foremost then get clockwork rolling and rom flashing all over again.
[Epic 4G General] guruleenyc:
Rules are rules and they appear to support the open source community as a whole---I get it and respect them.

[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
That Hero_over guy is a 2 bit street hustler trying to milk the flashwhores in the Epic section like he does Hero and Evo forums. Cmon... Posting teasers on here then trying to bait people to come to his website for ahem.. "paid support" (just a simple way to avoid being accused of forcing donations upon ignorant folks) and NEVER releasing the code or links for his modified source code in his post/s.

Sure he'll give you all the lame ass excuses for not doing it, but yet as plain as day, every other dev. that has released roms and kernels on the Epic forms have provided means for the general public to access their source code in their post. Heaven forbid anyone who questions why he has never conformed to XDA/GPL rules and/or the how he goes about getting donations here or he'll roid rage on you with 6th grader cursing. That guy is a joke and a drama queen, creating troll accounts to instigate with other devs and to stroke his little ego. The guy is has no professionalism in the way he conducts his activities on here. I don't respect people like him nor would I ever support anything they do as long as they continue to try to use this forum as a medium to their self serving/profiteering ways on here. Most of the devs in the Epic section I respect with the exception of him.

BTW - I applaud the mods for banning this putz. It's my personal opinion that he and his crew of goonies are the source of most of the drama that goes on in the Epic forums. People like him are never a man of their word.

talented dev vs. rules

If one were to unban him and let him run the show his way, in less than a month the Epic forum would be flooded of donationwarez devs wrecking this place.
[Epic 4G General] mattykinsx:
There's nothing about your post that isn't merely a "pot stirring, drama fest" so before you claim others to be as such, maybe you should look at what you do.

That being said I will tell you one thing I notice around here:

Bans and rule enforcement seem to only come on here when it attracts the most attention/stirs the pot.

While I don't know much about the gpl, if the tweet I posted two posts up by hero_over is accurate, plenty of others are in violation of it. So where's their ban?

If "swype" is warez then why has only one dev been banned for it? (I believe it may have actually been hero_over but don't quote me) plenty of other roms have it available. I could name three off the top of my head.

They also had some rule against early releases for donaters (or some variation of that) and yet I can again name at least three current roms/devs that have this practice with no bans or consequence...and I believe again that was hero_over that was the only one banned for it (but again don't quote me on that).

It seems to me that if anyone is trying to create drama/pot stirring it's the mods of XDA with their obvious inconsistencies in administration of the rules.

You guys can run your mouths about "rules are rules" all day long but, if you really pay attention, rules seem to be administered based upon personal feelings of said person instead of the actual rules themselves. It seems pretty obvious that in this case someone high up in XDA became jealous because hero_over has a coding skill they don't and he wasn't overly willing to let them steal it.

The "gpl violation" seems to just be the excuse.
