Clockwork Recovery port?

So, I was reading up a bit on the guide to porting Clockwork Recovery, and decided to build it yesterday. Everything was fairly easy to do, but I forget this is Motorola we're talking about, and realized the hard way that our phone has a locked bootloader and won't work with a custom recovery.
I saw there's a workaround used on the Droid X, Droid 2, and Defy that isn't really a true recovery, but close enough for our purposes. Unfortunately, I'm far from an actual dev, and there's no handy guide for me to follow to port something like that over to our device, so I thought I'd throw this post out there to see if anyone else was capable of it, or at least able to point me in the right direction.
For reference, here's the thread about the Defy recovery. I'll likely pull the sources down and muck about a bit with it, but if anyone has any tips on how to do this, or better yet wants to do it themselves, please do. If you don't have a flipside, I can gladly provide any info or files from the phone, and I've already had to restore from .sbf a handful of times so it's not like I'm afraid of testing it.

Try this

just picked up a flipside for my niece. As there doesnt appear to be alot of info or options available for it. Where shall we begin? I might donate my xperia x10 to her so that i might be able to assist in seeing what can come of the flipside. pm and lets see what we can get cracking.
As i love my xperia. all info that you can give me will be appreciated and i will work on it when i have the flipside with me for testing.

Nice
But I wish could be more out of the track
But to be honest, here we r only couple of people noising about blurs and blurt softwares...
anyhow, sooner or later there will be useful help for what people looking for their 508
Can u tell me whose hardware is more reliable, Motorola or Sony ericson
and to what extent if you compare the 508 processor with phone 3g in speed...
I recently got my modified battery with an over all estimated 1450 mah, though its thin NW ND Hard for me to shut its drawback but battery is now superb and unbelievable

[Q] Sprint and your Rom...

i just go done talking to sprint.... my phone has a Display problem...i asked for a warranty replacement. I told them what happened and i didnt tell them it was rooted because of the obvious reasons.... as it turns out sprint can actually remotely go into your phone and know exactly what you are running.... They asked about myn and warm 2.2.... so i had to tell them... so just a heads up be careful who you talk to.... did anyone else know this?

Wow, I didnt know that but thanks for the H.U.
Luckily I have TEP so its not much of a problem but that would be something to look out for if your phone starts acting up

What happened?
Did they follow through with the Warranty or void it? I do IT work for a few sprint stores and was told that rooting the phone would void its warranty (hence why I ask). In the same breathe, none of them at the stores would know
Thanks for the info.

they said that my warranty is VOID until i can prove that im on stock rom and the only way to do that is by going to the store.

Dang man that's no good. Sorry to hear.

So what if you ruu back to factory settings? About 3 weeks ago I had to have a speaker replaced they didn't say anything about it but he actually asked me if I had ever thought about rooting I just played dumb. That's crazy though that they can see that remotely... actually no thats not that crazy.

Just run the ruu. If your phone is usb connected and the only issue is the display that won't prevent you from going back to stock. You can check usb connectivity in windows or by doing an adb devices if you have set up adb.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH SPRINT.that is Invasion Of Privacy completely Unlawful and unnessecary why cant they just have asked you .......very concerning

Just flash the 1.47 RUU then run S-ON. You'll be essentially downgrading low enough to where you can re-run Unrevoked with no problems whatsoever. Good luck.

where do i get the app that tells me what is on other people's phones

Hold on, hold on...before we get all flared up, I don't think Sprint is actually logging on to our phones.
They are likely just getting Mod/Kernel version from About Phone menu option..just the way they can know about the PRL/PRI from their system (may be these are the traces that our phones leaves on the system).
If you guys are so worried, just go to build.prop and change the mod/build name.

sorry, not trying to be rude. But no sense asking what ifs, just because this seems to be news to everyone that Sprint can do this. So changing the build.prop might be a good start, if that doesnt work then I dont know. I don't develop these things. Maybe make some type of cached image that looks legit, so Sprint sees that instead of the actual figures. Or some type of block maybe
Or sue them

[Q] What should I do?! D:

Hello everybody,
I..am...retarded. I saw a lot of dust in my microphone port so naturally i got a can of compressed air to try to "fix" it. Well it broke my microphone, it still works but i would have to scream like a woman in a porno for anyone to hear me...not an option lol. So I'm running CM7 and I need a way to put everything as close to stock as possible so that the technician won't update my phone to the newest gingerbread update. I found THIS post but I don't know which one to install (being the noob that I am). I plan to uninstall ALL of the apps that require root permissions and back them up to my sd card...then install the stock ROM and hope and pray the technician doesn't see that i'm rooted.
So what do you guys think? is that enough to fool a technician? And what rom do i need to install? deodexed or odexed? and what's zip aligned?
Sorry for the noobiness but my mind has gone blank xP
thanks for all the help

If you are S-OFF just flash a sense rom and let it ota update. If you used unrevoked to root your phone then the ota cannnot set it S-ON. Then take it in. When u get phone back flash a custom recovery and go from there. Also put in an old sd-card that has no signs of custom roms and such. That's what i would do

Honestly if I were you I would just use a bluetooth headset. If you return the phone to sprint you are going to be screwed over, for now at least, with the unrooted 2.3.3. Wait till they get a root for that, then get sprint to replace it.
Unless you get a mentally handicapped tech they will check to see if you have s-off. They see you do and you are screwed.

it only picks up your voice if you moan "OH GOD YES DEEPER!!"? lol joking aside.
your mic is built into your top panel. so replacing the phone is POSSIBLE, but check with your local sprint store and see if they can just replace the touch panel. thats what we do at my store.

You can hope all you want, but you're gonna have GB on that phone.
HOWEVER, some refurbished phones were sent in with S-OFF and they are being sent back out with S-OFF so pray to the refurbishing gods that you get lucky

You can just take it in and they will usually just replace the mic, just let them know you don't want any software update.

You better be extremely adamant about not updating the OS. Like almost paranoid about it, people upfront often won't relay that info to the tech. I'd even put a mini post it on the battery or inside the back of the battery casing saying "DO NOT UPDATE SOFTWARE" or something of the likes. lol

The sprint tech said he couldn't repair it but didn't give a reason. Since they are sending a replacement can't they just use the parts from that phone to repair mine and send back that phone?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Well my replacement turned out to be S-OFF but I didn't find that out until i got my evo 3d and got home and checked xP. I figure I might mess with it for a while, keep it, or just sell it once cm7 comes out on the 3d (or a good stripped down sense version). So if anyone is interested in buying it, I'll provide some pics of the phone to show its S-OFF so you can know its legit.

Hi all
Just got an Inc 2. why else would I be posting here ,,,, anyhow I gotta have root mainly just to remove bloat, really undecided on which way though, HTC unlock or a full S off through the downgrade revolutionary method, I'm not realy a flashaholic, I would like to be able to use set CPU or the likes, for battery savings and maybe a little overclocking, phone seems pretty responsive if you ask me just coming from an Eris but I haven't loaded any apps on it yet either, heck I haven't even activated it yet (guess it's a little hard to let Ginger go ) I'd post a screen shot of her but she's a little shy.
So what's everyone thoughts on this if you had just recieved a brand new Incredible 2, with 2.3.4 Gingerbread, 5.10.605.9, 2.6.35.9 kernel; and now the news of Official ICS update soon to be released which way would you go to root HTC or S off?
Can you overclock/undervolt stock kernel?
Is it possible to flash a different kernel?
Any and all input on this will be greatly appriciated, Thanks In Advance

You're gonna wanna downgrade and s-off. It's easier to flash ROMs, also you can flash radios that way. It's a slightly longer process to do so, but its worth not spending extra time when flashing ROMs. Mainly because you have to flash the kernel in fastboot if you use HTC unlock.

It doesn't. It downgrades the hboot version. Now, if you s-off, you can flash any radio you wish. The recommended one is either the latest .1111 or .0722.

Yes I have the latest.1111 with 2.3.4 Gingerbread, 5.10.605.9, kernel 2.6.35.9, it downgrades more than just the hboot doesn't it? I thought it downgraded the whole OS.

It will put you back to 2.2 or 2.3 I think but it does not affect radio. You van then flaws one of the rooms based off the latest stock update ( what you have) if that's what you want. Also, you can't oc stock kernel, use dresdills 21. Also if u use the HTC method you are guaranteed void warranty cause they know what you done. If you use other method you can revert to completely stock if you need too and they will never know if you need to because of hardware issues. Charging ports have been known to go bad so I would keep that in mind...

Yes I've heard about that kernel, I'm pretty sure that once you root they know it cause all there tracking, or most of there tracking software goes offline for them, and they know that the only reason, for the most part, that the phone dissapeared is root. I thought htc unlock still gave you a warranty although more limitted. And yes I learned from the Eris when the phone is on the charger be extra extra carefull with it, even if it meens don't touch it.

Root doesn't take out anything, and I'm not sure what tracking your referring to anyways. The only way anything would be took out is if you do it, or the rom you install does. If they know you done it, and you think it may be more limited, that's just a way of saying now we have a reason to deny you anytime we feel like it. But if your set on that, do it, not gonna argue its your phone could care less, you wanted opinions you got it, either way good luck...

I never said that root in and of itself took out anything, it's the stuff we take out once we root. Your not sure what tracking I'm referring to, Look up Carrier IQ .
I charged this phone turned it on bypassed activation shut off the networks just to play around with it and it was still reporting network traffic, How, Why?
This phone has the ability to get past the switch thats thrown when you shut off your data connections. I did just activate the phone, I had forgot to turn data back on before doing so, but it didn't matter; after phone booted up and was settling in I saw the 3g icon pop up in the status bar, thats what reminded me, [I thought I shut that off] and sure enough it was still off, yet it still sent data, but where to? I'm not set on anything yet, yes I'm trying to get many opinions and I thank you for your input this phones been out for a while now and many things have changed since it was first released, like ICS, and htc unlock of the hboot. Much of the activity about rooting this phone is a year or more old and with the deals and such that are being thrown around now to move the remaning stock off shelves there will be ( I'm sure ) many newcomers to the phone and this forum so an updated collection of thoughts on this I figured would be welcome especially if there was some input from the veterans of this phone. And again thank you

Why do you reboot so often for it to be an issue?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I honestly NEVER have understood the boot animation thing,
I sometimes go a week without rebooting my phone.
I should get into habit once a day, but still it's like 10 seconds maybe once a day, that 99.9% of the time only you see..
If a boot animation makes you dis-like your phone, I don't think that the phone is the right choice for that person.
also confused how it's getting old fast? Yes they shut down htc dev, but sonic is taking care of that, if someone can't put down $8.55 for $600 of insurance, then well, I guess no root for you.
No risk no reward. I know fully I may not get my HTC One back and in working order.
but I trust Sonic, I have faith with him and with a signature required and $600 of insurance I feel pretty safe with where my phone is.

also confused how it's getting old fast? Yes they shut down htc dev, but sonic is taking care of that, if someone can't put down $8.55 for $600 of insurance, then well, I guess no root for you.
No risk no reward. I know fully I may not get my HTC One back and in working order.
but I trust Sonic, I have faith with him and with a signature required and $600 of insurance I feel pretty safe with where my phone is.

Cool rant bro. I mean, half of what you said has nothing to do with anything... but I'm glad you were able to get all that off your chest.
I see now that the modders and tweakers at XDA never reboot their phones and enjoy watching carrier branding animations. Good to know! :good:

You need not be so rude. If you do not care for a response... simply do not answer.
Thank you

Anyone using any good custom boot animations yet? The VZW one is getting annoying fast.

If the vzw One is annoying you get another phone.

Ooo, Throwing out a phone because the boot animation sucks? Awesome idea! It takes a special kind of mind to come up with such an elegant solution, good job! :highfive:

I honestly NEVER have understood the boot animation thing,
I sometimes go a week without rebooting my phone.

Seemed obvious that he felt the boot animation was annoying and not the phone.

I feel the same way, and I personally have to reboot my phone multiple times a day because of confidentiality agreements at work preventing me from having it on. Instant termination of caught with a phone on no matter the reason

Yes I know that.
I suppose my point was, don't judge a phone by it's boot animation.
all is cool guys, one comment and it's like king of the hill to jump on the guy.
this is the internet, we all have our opinions.
I never said his were wrong..

man, it's just a boot animation guys, some care about it, (like the splash screens) some just don't care at all.
based on how you use your phone, and how much you reboot, etc. many variables.
No need for name calling Moderators, though.

Well Members here is one of those Moderators....
But I better be careful some politically correct mod douche will tell me I am being rude because I have a different opinion

This thread sort of spiraled out of control and I really dont see it making a come back. There are plenty of other threads that discuss boot animations so if you really want to talk about it then please post there... or make a new thread in the Q&A section. Thanks.
