Hi,

Please android geeks, any suggestions to unlock the bootloader on charm.

Note: popular devices are the benefitted ones. Unique models and low end phone are not cared by geeks, I guess.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dvfk:
In the thread 'Motorola Charm!' the user polovinamozga has finally cracked the bootloader! Even tried cyanogen 6 on the Charm :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chahk:
That's not entirely correct. He didn't crack the bootloader, he bypassed it.

This is awesome news. We should now be able to flash custom ROMs, just not custom kernels. But even without kernel enhancements there's a lot that can be done to make Charm better.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ergosteur:
It's the deblur rom from http://and-developers.com/sbf:mb502

I don't think it works on T-Mo charms because the T-Mobile charm seems to have a newer bootloader which won't accept older ROMs like the Deblur one.

Charm ROM

Hi Guys,

eagerly awaiting for the custom rom...:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clxer:
why charm can root,Can not customize the ROM
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tawnde:
i am a chinese! :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] clxer:
why some device is lock bootloader ,but it can have 2.3 rom by folk ,it have 2.1 rom by official
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sidhiciang:

i think it's because the hackers manage to unlock the bootloader.... perhaps :)

[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
Hey guys, just sharing this with everyone. Maderschramm over at droidforums and droidxforums has packaged an update zip for 2.3.340. It can be used as an alternative to SBFing or to update you if you haven't already.

Install- Make a backup first

1. Download zip

2. Boot into clockwork recovery

3. Install zip from sd

4. Reboot

5. Activate phone

IMPORTANT

BE SURE TO REBOOT AFTER INSTALLING ZIP. DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE IN CLOCKWORK RECOVERY PRIOR TO REBOOT. YOU WILL BRICK.

You will lose root, but you will also still have all apps and contacts.

Read this thread prior to doing the install. There's some helpful tips from Maderschramm.

[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
good find. I am going to download and store away for a rainy day ota update. I hate sbf and rsdlite. And although I appreciate all that the black hat does - having to do like 20 (exaggeration) installs in clock work makes me a little nervous.

so good on ya mate.
[Droid X General] anrichardson:
that's why after i SBF 2.3.320 i always go straight into Android recovery before booting up and Factory Reset there, then boot up. But i guess everybody has there own way of doing things.
[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
Ya, this is an easy alternative to get everyone to a clean 2.3.340. If you're on 2.3.15, 2.3.320, or 2.3.340 this will definetly come in handy.
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Wonderful. I just left a stock rom literally today and realized I lost corporate email access with Gummy. That is a deal-breaker and obviously I didn't research it well enough before doing it. I NEED to get back to stock regardless of how painful it is. So this will unroot me, just Z4 again afterwards I take it?
[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
Correct it will unroot and remove bootstrap. So after rebooting then use z4 and grab bootstrap again.
[Droid X General] ITGuy11:
Very nice, thank you! Hopefully I never need to use it!
[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
Hopefully we wont need to use it, but at least we will feel better about doing this rather than an SBF.
[Droid X General] forever29:
I don't know about 2.3.15 When I did it on that, I bricked and ended up having

to SBF to .320 and using the patches to get to .340
[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
Reasons for bricking:

Installing zip as an update.zip

Doing anything else in bootstrap after installing zip

Soft brick (factory reset will bring it back)
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
Thanks This has saved me more than once while working on cracking the bootloader
[Droid X General] r3dlined:
Hrmm I ran this directly from having Apex and it didnt like it. Seemed to not fully wipe the phone at all. Im guessing I didnt read something all the way. I simply went to clockwork and loaded the file and rebooted. When it came back my system was still intact, but everything was force closing.
[Droid X General] r3dlined:
Doing a factory reset seemed to put it back to normal
[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
It will update or bring you back to clean 2.3.340. You will lose root and bootstrap, but you will keep all apps and setup.
[Droid X General] stolenphot0:
does anyone have any alternate DL links? it keeps hanging no matter which link I use.
[Droid X General] jpcdeux:
Got it going. Honestly though, who uses Megaupload anymore?
[Droid X General] stolenphot0:
i won't try to install until file size matches
[Droid X General] jpcdeux:
You didn't wipe cache and factory reset before install
[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
If you don't wipe data/cache prior to install then you will have the same setup and apps, only you will have lost root and bootstrap. If you want a clean start then wipe data/cache then install zip.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forge94:
Hi,

I just spent the past 3 hours downloading Rodriguez' MIUI mod on my computer because my connection is so slow. I usually download ROMS straight from my phone.

This time however, about an hour in, I realised that OSX Safari will unzip the ROM as soon as it finishes downloading automatically. I got into Preferences>General and change that setting, but it seems as though it didn't come into effect because I changed the setting whilst the download was in progress.

Anyway, is there any other way I can compress the ROM (which is now a folder) through any terminal commands either on the phone or on the computer?

I've already tried compressing it normally like any other folder with MM's Gingerbread ROM I downloaded yesterday. When I flashed it, I bootlooped so....

Oh and I can't download it again. I'm on the brink of going over my bandwidth allowance.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taimur Akmal:
Well, You can use WinRAR like application for MAC (I Don't use OS X) so cant specify.

Select all the files and compress it to zip! Done!

Donate to me by clicking the Thanks if I helped you!:)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
In theory, it would just be to compress it normally with the use of any archiver program which compresses to a .zip file. Not too familiar with OS X, so I cannot guide you into what program you'll need and how to do.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You need to re-compress the ROM files and sign the ZIP.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rassawyer:
i think the issue is signing... Can someone tell us how to sign a rom on osx?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
Signapk? But i think signing a rom is not neccesary anymore... Just turn off signature verification in recovery or use 4ext
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theking911:
I have had the same situation. Safari extracted the file automatically.

After waiting for 3 hours until the download completed, because the website is restricting my download speed to 100 kb/s.

I tried zipping and compressing the file both by a Windows system and a Mac. IT DID NOT WORK.

I have to download the file again.

[XPERIA X8 General] XperiaDev:
Root Access

Anybody tried to run some applications which requires root access after rooting.

It looks like superuser used is pushed into phone. But when you are running the applications which require root access, not getting any pop-up for allowing denying... any clues...
[XPERIA X8 General] XperiaDev:
Working fine now.... Probably you need to add one last step.

6. After rooting, Reboot the phone to start using apps which need root permission.
[XPERIA X8 General] screeny2:

[XPERIA X8 General] frahmadani:
super one click working fine, thank you :)

a problem though, I can't use adb shell. it gives error: device not found. the same with adb pull, etc. what did I miss? I used official 2.1 update 1 then use SOC. I don't have busybox, rootshell, or chargemon, are those necessary for using adb shell?

I know the rooting succeed because I can cd to /data/app-private and there is superuser.apk.

EDIT: solved ;) it has nothing to do with SOC, of course. uninstalled and reinstalled the SDK.

First I thougt: to good to be true.

Then I tried it and now I think: good that it is true!

Here all Steps I needed to finaly run root-apps (on a clean fresh installed Windows 7):

1. Installed the PC Companion from SE.

2. Connect Phone to PC als PC Compannion asked for, let Windows find all Drivers.

3. Switched USB-Debugging on, one or two more Drivers were found.

4. Started SuperOneClick from this post, clicked on "root". Waited ~10 Seconds to finish.

5. !!!!! Installed BUSYBOX from Market !!!!! ...

so far, all root-apps run well :)

I am a newbie to "Rooting" and to Android in general. Have been reading xda for quite some time to understand things. Just one question (which might be a silly one but I wanted to be sure of):

If I intend to go back to unrooted SE 2.1 update, Can I just "Repair" through PC Companion or SEUS? Or is there any other procedure to be followed?
