Gingerbread?

Hey Guys,

I found this link after doing some googling on the net...

do you think this is bogus?

http://mobile.downloadatoz.com/tuto...ash-motorola-bravo-htc-dream-hero-evo-4g.html

how could they ahve been working on a rom all this time, it says there is a stable out since 4-11...??

*Scratches head in confusion..

*****Edit,

Nvm...

i guess CM is giving codename to phones, and ours so happens to be the codename of the HTC Desire.. :/

got my hopes up.. Lol
[Bravo General] kyngnothing:
Knowing you're busy, any work on this?

(That or can someone do a step by step on how to remove the stock swype for me?):)

Edit: nevermind, I just found the "mount r/w" button in root explorer.

I wish we could still access the Profiles option, that was a cool feature. Not sure if it's apart of Blur though. I'm surprised I can't find an app in the Market.
[Bravo General] a_rocklobster:
Hey how do you get rid of the blur account stuff through adb? I have this phone and a Flipout that I want to de-blur, if it's safe.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Flash the BravoX rom. Its our Deblured\debloated stock rom. CM7 is better imho. If you're into the stock moto feel, then use CM7+Blur Launcher (search the Defy Forums).

MS2Ginger is a good stock rom, but only the old 2.0 version fully works on the Bravo, on 3.0 & 4.0 the photo camera doesn't work.
[Bravo General] apples2droids:
are we ready to test?
[Bravo General] heydabop:
I'll be up late tonight too if needed. No rush though :P
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Sorry I ran into a bug in the recovery code i had to work out, I also had some stuff come up at work so I've been super busy. But I am back to work on it and think i have the bug worked out. Once I do, I will send the apk out to anyone who sent me a gtalk/email via pm, so please do that if you havent and expressed interest in testing.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
URGENT!

I made a mistake (unrelated to the recovery bootstrap, i pulled the battery while it was stil lwriting changes to a parition argh!) so I need as soon as some one can for one of my testers to go to adb shell then su to get root and then type

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p17 of=/sdcard/cdrom.img

then you can do whatever to get that file to me. you can adb pull /sdcard/cdrom.img or even just transfer it right off the sdcard to dropbox, etc and then send me a public link or however you want to do it.

first person to get me this file i promise to make you the first tester! My gf will freak if she realizes her phone isnt booting currently :)
[Bravo General] pvillasuso:
Finally... fixed my bricked Moto Bravo :D

Got the file you need .. uploaded to RS :cool:

Here: http://rapidshare.com/files/450064279/cdrom.img

14.68MB aprox.

Good luck ...
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
THanks! How did you fix your bricked bravo?
[Bravo General] pvillasuso:
NP

Actually, I re-read again some posts here (#7) :

@Recovery

I didnt know you had to press the lower right part of the screen to bring the options menu :D

Did a full wipe and Voila ! :eek:

I guess it was not really "bricked" , maybe some corrupt files , or cache problems @ boot ... dunno ...
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Ok guys, this sucks. I basically had it done, was just working out a minor bug where the display was turning on and off in recovery and just got info on how to fix that.

but in the process of testing i found some kind of bug in the moto parition layout and bricked my gf's bravo. Its not bricked but its in bootloader only and needs an sbf to work.

I have been trying all night to get the sbf for the defy to work since these phones are so alike, even the addresses for the code group are the same! but i havent been able to, [mbm] hopefuloly will help me find a solution but who knows for sure

so i really need a sbf now people, please anyone do what they can. to the at&t employee, if you can get someone with rsd lite web version they should be able to pull it off moto's secure site.
[Bravo General] pvillasuso:
Sorry to hear that dude

I know the feeling ..

Hope there is a way to extract a complete sbf file from a phone ...

Good luck
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Dang that sucks. :\ Sorry man...

I'll keep my eye out and ask around if I think of anyone who might be able to help.
[Bravo General] Jared152:
damn that sucks. Maybe try to get warranty service on it?
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
yeah it sucks the good news is that i was so close to a working test (possibly release) when this happens. that is alsso the bad news, i was "close" i mean i could probably release a test because it still works just the screen is still wonky.

i was also so close to providing us with a system only sbf to fix many other issues but the defy ramloader didnt work with the bravo as i had hoped, they are so close but not close enough :(

i am working full force on getting an sbf right now because my gf's phone is now broken :( she is not happy to say the least, especially since she got it and its her first android phone (and her first smartphone period) and she was already hooked.

I really only need a working ramloader.img and i have the cg so i dont really need the full sbf, if one of you works for moto or att and have access but are worried about your job, you could extract the sbf yourself and just give me the 3mb file i need, all the moto proprietary stuff is in the code groups which i dont need.

Sucks, you can get a SBF for a charm, defy, etc, etc, etc but not the damn 2.1 bravo? wtf. its old software, what is going on here.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
I've not been able to find one the few places I look. :\ I guess the phone's just kinda new and hasn't received much attention due to not being amazing and also being locked down...

Can't try an AT&T store?
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Can you guys look in about and look for a gsm baseband version or anything that says baseband version? i already have apflex and bpflex but if anything else is under about then please give it to me i am trying to find the sbf

edit also do adb shell or terminal from phone and do su and then getprop

and send me gsm.version.baseband and ro.gsm.flexversion i need that badly. thanks guys.
[Bravo General] apples2droids:
Is there any where through root explorer to find that baseband. Don't have access to adb, no pc, but I have root explorer installed I know you can copy files through there.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
just dl connectbot for free from the market, then run it, choose local connection and then type the commands it might be hard to copy and paste migth have to write it down that way not sure. you could "getprop > output.log" and then copy the log file and get it that way.
[Bravo General] apples2droids:
Kind of a noob still to working through my phone, is this what you were looking for?

[ro.gsm.flexversion]: [USAKOBE25ATTND0NA021.0R]

[gsm.version.baseband]: [EPU93_U_00.47.05]
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
yes thanks much :) lets hope this works :)
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
damn it was the info i needed, i was able to do a soap request but the sbf doesnt seem to exist for 2.1 in their "Consumer system" i may be waiting for this 2.2 update to hit if one of you cant get ur hands on it :(
[Bravo General] apples2droids:
Damn. I work at at&t but our warranty exchange isn't handled locally in our store. In fact I think it's handled from somewhere in india.
[Bravo General] apples2droids:
Does a mod recovery even exist for the bravo. I found one called amon ra but have no clue what the hell that is
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
that is what i was working on when this happened, i was porting CWM to our device.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
well i am still ****ed waiting for a SBF file, i am trying really hard to find one, i may have to wait for 2.2 update ot come, it looks like that could be soon though. (if your in the 2.2 update group and you hear any news be sure to let me know)

I figured while i am unable to finish the bootstrap, I will work on overclocking, can someone please run the following on the device:

grep -A 1 omap2_clk_init_cpufreq_table /proc/kallsyms

if that doesnt work then put busybox in the front

and get the info back to me. I will then need you to run 1 more thing to get me a file. thanks.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
I ran it, had to put busybox in front or else it said permission denied, even with su. It gave the following back to me:

c0053b68 T omap2_clk_init_cpufreq_table
c0053c14 T init_latency

Is that what you were looking for?
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Thanks that is perfect, now if you (or anyone) can now do this in shell or adb shell:

busybox dd bs=1 count=172 skip=3221568360 if=/dev/kmem of=/sdcard/omap_table

and then send me the /sdcard/omap_table file via pm or publicly here is fine, you can upload to megaupload or something like that or if you want to email me the file instead, you can email it to my nick on xda at gmail.

Thanks!
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Alright, I ran it. Here's omap_table. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/308440/omap_table

Good luck! :D
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Awesome thanks! Are the same testers for cwm interested in overclocking? Setcpu compatible.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
I'm interested. What are the chances we'll fry something or start throwing errors? :P I'm new to phone overclocking... I have to assume it's quite different than your average desktop overclocking.
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
I'm up for testing a well if you still need peps. Also what is the word when 2.2 may drop for this phone? Also are there any pre reques you need to be considered for 2.2 testing with motorola? I have signed up for their development wait list but don't think that is the same thing. Thanks
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
I know people who are testing for this phone w/ moto and a 2.2 test (or possibly just a newer 2.1) is going out to testers very soon I am told. I am assuming its 2.2 i doubt they would waste time on a 2.1 patch
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
The overclocking is safe, worst case scenario would be you need to reboot your device to undo the changes. I think I have it ready to go, I will need a tester to test my work and then I can package it up in a apk for the masses. -bandroidx
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Hopefully so. Fixing your gf's phone would be great, and 2.2 would be nice in general.

I'll test it.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Thanks to heydabop letting me use his phone and pc to finish testing, I was able to get overclock going on the bravo! woot! we got noticable gains at 1ghz and it was quite stable. Will have a quadrant SS soon. Working on an apk.

You only need to be rooted.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Here's a screenshot of the best score, 1263, we got at 1GHz running Quadrant Standard Edition.

Ran the benchmark 13 times overclocked and got an average score of 1230.

EDIT: Just ran it at stock (800Mhz) and got 1001.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Thanks!

I am still working on packaging this up into a simple apk should be done this weekend. I will create a new thread in android development when its done.
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
I never post but feel i should begin and i'll begin by saying i really appreciate all you are doing. I was worried nothing for this phone was gonna happen and here you are. Thank you.
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Couldn't have said it better. Thanks for everything bandroidx. :)
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Thanks guys! Been working on the apk, hoping to have it ready for testing late fri. night /early sat morning or sat night.
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
Sweet. Would love to test anything just pm me.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Progress update, the apk is going great, just about done. Heydabop is testing to find the best stable default overclock.
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
Awesome! Anxiously awaiting it! :)
[Bravo General] apples2droids:
I'm out

Ban, sorry bro. Didn't wantnyou to think I totally disappeared but my boss switched out my Bravo and told me to carry a Captivate. So I'm out. Good luck on it though.
[Bravo General] awasser1:
just make it variable and let us all test it and we will tell u which it works best at :)
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
I like that idea ;) i'm excited ha ha ha.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
I am and I will.

I got it working, just need to fix a few loose ends and work out a couple minor bugs and i should have a testing release out later.

I also paid the $25 and setup a market account, I plan on doing what koush did with the droidx/2/pro bootstrap app, he put it for free on xda and then put a donate version up in the market. That is what I think I am going to do, the app will be completely free here on xda and if you want to support my work or cant install non market apps because u never did the hack (but are rooted) then u can grab it from the market too.

Its variable and will let you go as crazy as you want (within reason) i think the settings are 50mhz steps from 900mhz to like 1.3ghz (which would be pushing it!)

same with voltage, big window. I am going to convert it to sliders soon though.

This is my first android app, I mainly did this to help the Bravo community but also as a learning experience. I am an ex-blackberry developer so its very similiar but there are some differences so I felt this would be a good way for me to make the jump. Android is great for development, night and day compared to Blackberry!
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
We appreciate it so much i'll DEFINITELY donate. You deserve it.
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
That's an awesome idea. I definitely got your back. :)
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
So question. At 1ghz could you feel a significant difference in speed?
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Yes, especially with GO Launcher screen transitions and Swype processing times. I haven't played many games to make a comparison there tho.
[Bravo General] lwhitit:
Man i am excited to be able to play around with this phone soon. I just got a nook color to hack because i figured the bravo wasnt getting any love.
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
I'm definitely stoked. With the locked kernal i thought i'd be stuck at 800 forever.
[Bravo General] awasser1:
ok post the link then it doesnt have to be perfect the first time. we are all waiting patiently...
[Bravo General] bandroidx:

[Bravo General] silvagroup:
Wow thanks for the hard work your putting into this, as a Bravo owner this is very exciting.

Not sure you may already have found this if not it maybe of help https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/sfmain/do/viewProject/projects.bravo. Personally I have no clue what to do with it.

Have rooted my phone, have abd and eclipse installed on my linux systems.

Have some spare time on my hands since currently unemployed and have very little knowledge of the inner workings of Android.

With that said let me know how I can be of some assistance.
[Bravo General] awasser1:
OK I installed the app and works fine at 1000 and 1050. Like the first tester when I used 1100 the phone rebooted. I haven't changed the voltages at all since I havent seen anyone else post anything yet that might be smarter with the phone. I noticed the load on startup button doesn't work yet. Maybe that's on purpose? The phone seems to be peppier and everything opens quicker with the little testing and usage I did today. I will see how the battery life is as the week goes on. Thanks for your hard work.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Start on boot isn't finished yet
[Bravo General] silvagroup:
Installed overclock and works great started right at 1000 and firefox loads almost instantly. :D Browsing is a literal breeze. AngryBird also loads faster could go on and on but I think you get the picture. Haven't changed voltage, will see how battery does it will be heavily used tomorrow.
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
Pocket legends runs so smooth its almost unbelievable. Thanks man.
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Definitely notice the improves speed at 1000. Haven't tried anything else yet cuz like others wanting to get an idea on battery. If you think firefox is fast you should try opera mini web browser. It loads pages in seconds. I've tried both and I like features on firefox better but you can't beat the speed you get with opera. Also does anyone know his to use setcpu? Don't need an in depth review just a few advantages it gives. TIA
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
Thanks and thanks. I will def. keep you in mind, you can def. help test too, i will need testers for my custom recovery port soon, as soon as i get an sbf i am going to finish it up.
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
Speed step like stuff. Under clocks when not using a lot of cpu when set. Can set max and min. It's pretty cool. Worth the money.

edit: i'm sure i'll be willing to test man.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
I think 1100mhz (1.1ghz) probably needs a overvolt (VSEL increased over 56) to function. This is of course riskier than the standard 1ghz-56stock voltage overclock. Many people run overvolted overclocked omap 3xxx with no issues but of course be careful.

Yes the load on startup button should be grayed out and unusable since the feature isnt finished yet, i will be working on that next.

I plan on adding some more features to the app, like letting you modify your lowest mhz speed and voltages , etc.

as mentioned setcpu works nicely in addition to my app. Setcpu alone wont work though, you must overclock with my app before setcpu will work. dont set setcpu to load on startup since the overclock doesnt yet.
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Setcpu gives you temp info, tho it seems to be the battery and not the processor, gives you a readout on your current clock rate, and allows you to set profiles like capping max clock rate at 600Mhz when you're low on battery or when the screen is off. That's mostly what I use it for.
[Bravo General] MCFarmfresh:
Sweet. Thanks for your info. Giving it a whirl right now.... :)
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
I have been working on the auto load code and since i elected to do it the safe way, its going to take another day. I think by Wednesday the auto load feature will be done. It will also have a few minor fixes and additions like units.
[Bravo General] silvagroup:
battery report:

as expected battery drains much quicker, especially when you over voltage, but since the battery on the bravo is a weak point anyway i have become accustomed to having a charger always at hand.

One thing , sometimes it goes back to default settings by itself not sure why.

great work non the less !!!!!!
[Bravo General] zachthepack:
Is the clockwork still in development? Or paused for now
[Bravo General] heydabop:
It's paused until bandroidx can get an sbf to fix his gf's phone. At least I think that's it...

In the meantime, feel free to overclock your Bravo. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983681

Cmon is there any way we can keep this project going without the sbf!?!?!?!?!?!?:confused:
[Bravo General] heydabop:
Seeing as the risk of bricking is too high, I don't think bandroidx wants to do any more development until he can fix any problems that might arise. Getting his Bravo replaced has taken a decent bit of effort.
[Bravo General] aggdroid:
Been watching this thread from the beginning. I love my Bravo and was hoping Moto would get this done themselves and seems they have started. They just opened it up to testers a couple of days ago, but android central posted that there are some delays. Hoping bandroidx can get his girlfriend's phone fixed asap

Since this is my first post I can't post the link, but if you google up the following you can find the article:

Time to get to help...

Alright guys, I need to know how I can help. I got a Bravo for my GF when they first came out, hacked the crap out of it, ended up needing to get it replaced, and was holding off on anything more until the crews figured this crap out, however it appears this is taking too long. So, I'm ready to write this Bravo off as a... a martyr for cause. I ****ing hate Motoblur on that phone and how deeply they've twisted it and their other crapware/bloatware into this phone. After rooting and carefully uninstalling most of it, I haven't found a process to get it clean, so as far as I can tell we need a custom rom. I haven't seen a whole lot of updates regarding CWM lately... How can I help, what you need me to do.... point me please. I am a developer with a lot of experience, but not a huge amount in linux/kernel, but please.... tell me where to go to learn what I need to do to advance this forward. This little phone is a great piece of hardware and after seeing the insane improvements to my captivate over time and all the rom development it's time the Bravo gets some damn love too.

Wait for 2.2.

Hopefully AT&T won't delay it again. :\
[Bravo General] apples2droids:
Latest, they sent out a corporate email saying it would be delayed, that was April 2nd?
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
its out, we have it. anyone who didnt get on the beta test? we will post the update.zip, you can flash it using stock recovery and you will be on 2.2. its been confirmed working!

as far as the phone, i had to buy my girlfriend a new one. so we are back in business, now we need the 2.2 SBF which will surely be available soon now that the update is out and then my CWM port can be finished.

if the above user really wants to risk his phone I guess I could continue testing the bootstrap app but i feel its extremely risky without an sbf.
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
2.2 for the bravo for anyone who wants it:

http://www.multiupload.com/P7GBI5GE8V

put bloat back first! put all mods back first. root can be left but you will lose it. re-root works with superoneclick, psneuter works best.

copy to sdcard, rename to upload.zip boot to stock recovery by holding power and vol down, choose update.zip from sd. update takes a while, enjoy.
