[WIP][DEVS] Motoblur 2.1 Port - Fail, Dev needed.

This thread is discussion about porting Motoblur 2.1 (Cliq Leak) to our devices. I've supplied my work below. Finish it if you wish, or use it as reference.
THIS DOES NOT GET PASSED THE SPLASH SCREEN. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO FLASH THIS UNLESS YOU ARE GOING TO DEBUG IT.​
Done:
- edited boot.img (init.rc) (added init.trout, init.sapphire)
- a2sd (/sd-ext)
- oc'd kernel 2.26.34
- swap
- root
- Patched MTD Partitions. (THANKS FIRERAT & jcarrz1!)
To Do:
- Get it to boot. Almost done. Just audio issue.
Changelog | Issues:
Error Messages:
#demesg - "htc-acoustic: ioctl: invalid command"
#logcat - "Volmgr not ready to handle device"

If I missed anyone let me know.
I'm not responsible to what happens to your device.
Instructions FOR DEBUGGING:
- Nandroid backup before anything.
- Flash patch. (MTDBLUR-Patch.zip)
- Reboot to recovery mode.
- Flash ROM. (failblur-last-signed.zip)
Note: When flashing the rom, it will hang a bit near the end of the installation. Give it time.
Revert MTD Partitions (system: 90mb. cache:2mb. data: remaining.)
- Mount sdcard. Delete file /sdcard/mtdpartmap.txt.
- Flash FR-MTD-PartHack-recovery-v1-1_S.zip
- Reboot on recovery.
- Restore nandroid back up.
Have fun !

awesome. cant wait to see how it goes. i really hope people take this up. i cant stand stock and hero has seemed to die down. i personally didnt have a problem with blur. im big on social networking apps and blur is big for that. i really didnt mind it much at all and would LOVE to have a great blur rom. only problem with the cliq itself is that its a brick and moto keeps it locked up tighter than the house that is surrounded by cops in a "to catch a predator episode"
for those of you who dont know alot about it btw here are some of the new features,

Only thing that looks cool about 2.1 is the adjustable widgets, from what I've seen on the Droid, the launcher runs slow and looks a lil choppy. I can't wait to see this done though

adjustable widgets? we have some sense 2.1 roms but i do not recall that? is it a blur only feature?

Yeah it was only in blur, it's in ADW but it doesn't work that well since the widgets weren't even made to be adjustable.

your issues would be trying to actually succeed with a2sd at such an early stage. allow me to suggest shifted mtd partitions, see firerat's thread on the 1st page of this forum (usually)
it'll allow you to cram everything on. you'll have to edit the boot.img to negate the effects of a2sd support.

Yup, that was my error. I still had default kernel from the dump. lol.
OP updated.
Won't be able to work on this until Monday. My sdcard fried (Original one from launch). I'm basically phone less because I fastboot erased system, Rebooted into recovery, and sdcard wasn't detected. So no nandroid restore or rom flashing.
Still not booting though. Anyone care to help? I don't want this ROM to go the way the pulse 2.1 rom did....

it likely will... they're a pain in the ass to port, and they're slow even when they work, so i don't want to waste my time. The only worthwhile things atm are 2.1 sense and 2.2. But good luck, if it shows promise when you get it working, i'll jump all over it.

the origional blur ports werent slow for first releases. i mean, im no expert when it comes to porting, but blur and pulse always seem to get little effort put into them. idk if its just the fact that the rom is so tied to the moto phones themselves or what the deal is that it makes it so its too hard for devs to continue progress on them. i just dont see how you can say its going to run slow and not be worthwhile without even seeing a preliminary release that actually boots...
idk, i just really hope someone will pick it up. if i knew how to do any of this stuff i would have tried my hand at it but i have no clue as to porting and i dont have the time with my work/family schedule.
sucks to the OP though. hope you can get a new sd card and a useful phone again.

Well it isn't necessarily moto blur, just an OS with little moto blur add-ons.

are you sure your sdcard is fried? I have a method to bypass sd temporarily, to flash a rom, etc.

I got it back working. I figured out what happened. Something in my SPL was messing with my sdcard. I dont know how, but it was. It was making large qxdm_[time stamp].qm files each time i booted to recovery.
Solution: Get another sdcard, copy DREAIMG.nbh to sdcard and go back to 1.0. Btw, UI is ugly back then. lol. Then I rerooted. Reformatted my original sdcard. And now everything's working. I'll keep working on this tomorrow or Monday.

I thought it was confirmed no update had the new PRI...

Is this hex edited to look like it or is it legit ... how to tell?

Dude, I'm, on this... I was up with the guys last night on the unrevoked thread debating this. Going to do so, right now. You said the one ending in .6, of course, but the ruu, or custom made..
Links to what's what and where you got them would help.
Thanks.
This Was Composed With Swype Via Evo 4G

The question that needs to be asked is;
What PRI did you start the above process with?
if you already started with 1.40, then you did nothing new.
if you started with 1.34, well then you may have done something worth while.

Yeah!! Sup bro? Any how hes right i did have .34 last night .. It doesnt matter which .6 PC36.IMG you use . After you ROOT with Unrevoked Forever you have root forever! does not matter which ****in hboot or any thing signed or unsigned u flash u got root. Also noted-- The speeds are the same but my ping was 350-450 and now they are 90 to 150.. the pri doesnt increase speeds but does in delivery (how fast data is sent to your phone from towers) follow the step and dont be gay----love GOONZ

If it does work, I think unrevoked should get at least some of it because they are the ones that made it so you can flash the recovery after doing the stock update.

lol just kidding, im pretty sure i know what you meant.

is there some sort of problem flashing directing from the psfreedom enabled kernel back to your preferred one? Does that break wifi and 4g or something? If so then I understand the middle step of flashing the psfreedom disable file, but if not it seems like a useless extra step.

It brakes 4G & WIFI with psfreedom from what i know
sent from htc evo 4g

a little unnecessary....
you dont have to use the disable and then flash the kernel. If you are using a rom that doesnt have a dedicated disable.zip made for it (Fresh and Baked Snack have one) then all you do is need to flash the kernel you want of top. This is how I've did it since day one without any issues or lost data of anything. I usually do a Dalvik/cache wipe before flashing the kernel but im not certain that its necessary. Im glad some one made a thread to at least let people know that a nandroid backup isnt needed, cause those take forever...

where can i find the fresh dedicated disable hack, thanks!

Its somewhere in the original Psfreedom for evo thread. start and the back and work your way forward and you'll find it.

all this does is avoid the nand restore by flashing back your original kernal. The reason i didn't include this in my thread was because everyone has their own kernal. Sure many use the same but to make it a one step no mess up without people who can't read posting OMG OMG, just nand restore...done. But ya, i chose not to include a "disable" which is essentially a reverting of the kernal.

Hey theres a PSFreedom recovery now! Hopefully well get one for the EVO 4G like this one...

so when u jailbreak the ps3 with the evo. do u need to plug it in again when u turn off the ps3. does it require the phone everytime to see the install package files icon?

Yep. Every time. Small price to pay though if you ask me. Ive backed up 2 games so far and they work flawlessly. No glitches, lag, nothing. I'll plug my evo in a hundred times for that.

I meant do i have to redo the whole re flashing of the zips. Because i dont mind pluging the phone into the ps3 every time. but reflashing the phone is the tidiest part.

U have to flash the psfreedom kernel every time.

i guess thats the price we have to pay. hopefully in the near future someone will come up with an app. on and off switch for jailbreak. or maybe do a dual boot switching kernels . i can dream

[Q] Rom/kernel devs?

just Got my Mytouch today !! i dev for the epic 4g but since i gained employment at Tmobile ive decided to get another phone just curious
how many rom/kernel dev's are there ?

lol.. we just got it rooted. Roms should be out within another month or so..

a month lol not even that long my dude

Well I saw CM7 is being ported by nightly to the sensation. You know the sensation and the mt4gs are like twins with different personality. Also to get a camera apk to work on other rom didnt they released the source for this phone on htc dev site.
Sent from my myTouch 4g Slide.

Yea, I suspect that the first beta roms will start appearing in a few weeks, maybe sooner. But I wouldn't expect stable roms to start showing up for at least a month.
The camera is going to be one of the things holding it back.
I, personally, would like to see some almost stock roms with CPU control....I would like to see sense go away, but it appears that would effect the camera to some extent. Either way, I'm happy to have root at this point. At least I was able to uninstall the bloakware and crap that I couldn't seem to stop running in the background.

Well when I get home tonight ill give a look into the source codes that htc released. I'll let you guys know if the frameworks is in it or not.
Sent from my myTouch 4g Slide.

I can try and port a sense 3.0 rom for you guys, but i'll need testers for it. And to the above poster, porting from Sensation to MT4GS isn't easy, this device has WVGA, while Sensation uses qHD instead.

If you do this, try and incorporate the stock camera .apk from the tmobile rom.

Not by htc, by members of xda of course. I've used the MT4GS camera on a rooted ver of the MT4G's 2.3.4 build and it works fine.
And on another note, i've finished the alpha port, i'll upload it to multiupload
EDIT: Heres the test rom

I recommend that you guys do a nandroid prior to trying the rom.

DOWNLOADING - I'll keep you updated!

going to take my girlfriends's phone today and try the rom, thanks.

initial install has me hanging at splash screen.
redownloading to make sure it wasn't just a bad download.
interestingly, the install in CWM took like 5 seconds.. literally. so fast I couldn't even read what it was doing.
will report back shortly.
edit: second go-around with a fresh download and I'm still stuck at splash screen. formatted /data, /cache, /system and deleted .android and android-secure on my sd card prior to flashing.
do you need a logcat, Ace?

well I'd happily provide, but I can't get it. never run into this when trying to pull logcat.. judging from that error message, it sounds like /system isn't being written to during install?

restoring my backup for now.

I NANdroided, wiped data/cache/dalvik and installed from zip. Like pmcqueen said it flew through the install and rebooted automatically on me. It doesn't look like it actually rewrote/installed anything because my custom boot animation was still there from before. Unlike pmcqueen mine booted up fine, pretty fast actually, but acted as if I had just performed a fresh wipe of the ORIGINAL ROM; it took me through the MT4GS video and was the same rom, only as if I had just performed a factory reset. I wonder if it's clockwork that didn't perform the necessary functions? Are the files/folders/locations different on the MT4GS and that's why it didn't write anything? I didn't get any error messages... It's been a long time and I don't remember how to run logcats, so refresh me, and I'll hook you up. But it sounds like it just didn't install anything at all.

I think I know the issue, i'm working on it right now. I'm about to upload the 2nd test in a few minutes.

Did you try fixing permissions inside rom manager? That normally fixes root related fc issues.

Why? I rarely use it, and have only installed it a few times but don't usually keep it installed.
Honestly it's not necessary, but does let you easily install a custom recovery in some situations. For an S-OFF device there are much easier and more convenient ways to do so.
For the first few months we had the device there was no official recovery and ROM Manager was dangerous to use (not so anymore)

Press "flash recovery" and grant Superuser permissions. Not that hard.
Delivered via candygram for Mr. Mongo.

Haha I didn't realize I was so far out of the loop! With my phones, I root to get access to system folders, system apps, and to run adfree. I don't flash ROMs at all and always keep stock ROM. If I saw "ROM manager" before, I probably brushed it off without thinking because I associated it with custom ROMs.

ROM Manager also allows you to flash ClockworkMod recovery and fixes your apps permissions. Once we get AOSP on this phone, you'll see what's really available.

So, I ran the fix app permissions from the ROM Manager and that didn't change anything. I went to install something from the market and although I didn't get a FORCE CLOSE pop up message, I did notice the MyTouch splash coming back up reloading Sense once again...
:-(
I appreciate any help offered. Thanks,

That is 100% normal when using the bone stock rom. Thats why 95% of peeps who root use a custom rom.

Not only that - but i've noticed on the stock ROM every time I plug my phone into a computer without rebooting first it locks up and restarts - I have yet to have this happen on my ROM or any of the others I used before that.
Once you root the stock ROM, it just doesn't seem to work as well, and I had the restart issue before root was available for us with this device. At first I thought it was my computer doing it, but now with an older desktop in service it happens on that too, and other random computers I plug into that my friends own too...I dunno.
There is a lot to be said for running a custom ROM instead of the stock one, beyond all the little fixes and enhancements they bring.
...but, that's why we all work together here to constantly bring better software with more support for these devices all over XDA.

When is the last time you cleared cache and dalvik-cache? That might help with some of your issues.
I wrote a flashable-zip package that will do just that if you don't want to do it manually, it does a wipe (not format) so is compatible with all 3 clockworkmod recoveries we have available, since 4.0.0.8 and 4.0.0.9 don't implement the format command correctly.

Third one is: Blue6IX_C01_Wipe.zip
MD5: a8c57de781b2abfca2dfcdcae57d439c
This one will wipe the /cache partition and also wipe dalvik-cache. Use this one if you are having problems with specific apps, especially when changing to a different version of an already installed app.

Either manually doing it or flashing my script might help with your issues, or might have no effect.
The next time you boot after doing so the machine will have to rebuild both cache and dalvik-cache, so it will take a little longer to boot that first time and after it's done and has sat for 5 minutes or so you should reboot the machine again before using it, just to get everything worked out right.
Hope it helps!
