Does the Droid 2 have an encrypted bootloader like the Milestone and the Droid X?

Does this phone have an encrypted bootloader like the Milestone and the Droid X?

Yes, hopefully with the Droid2 and DroidX being the same way as the milestone, more people will try to open them up. The milestone had a lack of support thanks to the droid being open

yes the d2 has an encrypted bootloader & efuse same as the dx

Will the "one click" root for DroidX work on the Droid 2 as well?
Thanks

i would think not considering the Droid 2 is 2.2

Can confirm that universal androot and easyroot do not work for Droid 2, tried them today and they failed, won't brick you though. But yes those exploits were patched with Froyo.

thx for that

Thanks for that, you saved me 15 minutes. But let me try too.

don't use one click method instead try cmd and make changes as you go along

once they get custom roms on the X there will most likely be roms on the D2.

rootable does not equal free bootloader!
A encrypted bootloader = no custom roms!!
know your stuff people..

Encrypted bootloader = no custom kernels. Custom roms with stock kernels aren't out of the question.

dont you think we can flash a different bootloader on these things? i'd like to think that we can do it if we put our mind to it.
one of the reasons i love my droid1 (or Droid OG if you like) is that i can overclock it and keep it top of the line. i would hate to see this eliminated.
but i am confident we will find a way! there is a will so.....

So does the D2 having Froyo effect the recovery image? Could a fake OTA method be used similar to the HTC devices with the 2e recovery? I'm just thinking here please don't clown me.

that is a rom you want to flash. we are talking about the bootloader which would allow us to install custom kernels.

Possibly not....i have an incredible and i am looking into switching and i doubt our method will work fpr you guys....from what i understand, the bootloader can ONLY FLASH MOTOROLA SIGNED ZIPS. I guess there is noexception for that rule.....i would check out if the dx exploit is or is not patched in the d2........then it will be smooth sailing from there!

Milestone guys been looking for that solution for like a 1yr now? so im asuming someone gave up somewhere along the road...
So chances are like 1 in a million trillion chances, that the private keys gets public, so we can sign the bootloader ourself... its like having a smart card for Sky1 and extracts all the keys, which happened once as the employee went to the competitor, so i guess a Motorola employee has to go to HTC so we can get the keys lol
and hacking the key is like waiting for Milestone 53 coming out in 2025...

[Q] How to flash CM6 to xt720??

Sorry for distrub. I was newbie on use motorola xt720. Just last week buy motorola xt720 from another guy. I want to flash CM6 in my phone. But try many time also failure. I find solution on internet. Also can't settle. I have flash uk sbf to my phone already and open root access already. I try use openrecovery to put cm6 inside. But is failure. Can i know how to step by step to do?

not yet possible. the locked bootloader ****s up!
but cm7 was ported to xt701 that is similar to our xt720 and so it could be ported to our xt720 again maybe.

Except that you don't have a working camera then, which is why many of us bought this phone.
Anyways, I don't understand why it's taking so long for 2nd init to get working. Many Motorola-devices already have 2nd init to boot custom ROMS.

We already use 2nd-init on all of the Froyo ROMs. Maybe you mean 2nd-boot?
Sent from my XT720 using XDA Premium App

Yeah, maybe that's what I meant. They use that already on for example the Defy to boot custom kernels including Cynanogenmod.

is the camera not working on xt701 or won't it work if we flash it to our x720?

It's not working on XT701. Flashing it on the XT720 results in a bootloop.

that means no change to put CM6 to my xt720?

Nope. But the CM7-port is going very well. See the topic in this subforum. So we should have CM7 on our XT720 very soon.

cm7 on xt720 with everything working (including cam and so on)??

@Zachary and Knoedelkopf: How will I know? It's in dev. It's almost bootable now and when it boots, we'll see what works and what not and what we can fix.

cant find it... but i remembered reading one of the more "pro" members saying something about working on the cm7 port. still on?

wow!... they are only late for like more than a year since 2.2 was released. LOL
considering we have been enjoying our own Dexter 2.2 for the past 6 months
well i guess it's better late than never

We almost have 2nd init working, so the bootloader unlock isn't needed.

Ok, terminology nazi here:
2nd-init is what we already use.
2nd-boot only works without the radio (no phone).
I don't think there has been any success yet getting the radio working even on A853 where 2nd-boot was pioneered. Baring a miracle, bootloader unlock is most definitely desired.

Yes, I meant 2nd-boot. Thanks for correcting me
I get confused every time b/w 2nd-init and 2nd-boot. When if finally works, I probably won't be confused anymore

I don't see what's the big deal.Official Froyo.... whatever. I have fully working ROM with excellent preformance and fjkernal.
Go eat my shorts Motorola. And ty to Dexter, Khal, Mioze, Fj, reverendkjr and everybody else who are responsible for this.

Hi this is Cincinnati bell this on their own and you care remember we still have same 2.1 kernel possible unlocked bootloader would be really but for Motorola they really suck.

Hats off to CincyBell
CincyBell making me proud! Hats off to them.... You don't see Verizon/T-Mo/Att doing this! they are doing this without Motorola's support. Wonder if moto will reverse course & offer their own upgrade once they are embarrassed by Cincybell.
Hope they include an updated Kernal, that will only make the Dexter/Khal roms even better!

Good news.
I hope there will be some new advantages. Meaning that there are more possibilities excluding froyo itself.
Otherwise I would prefer v4 rom

Hope this update will have new 2.6.32 kernel

You can take mine source for libsensors and add patches from defy devtree.

Can that be done by mobile labtop not working.
Thanks.

How to solve it?

I would like to study how ROMs are being laid out. Hopefully before next month I will be able to help in testing, and maybe implementing (?)
Mr fjfalcon, can you post your links for those (libsensors, defy devtree)? I'm having a hard time looking for it. Sorry if I am acting like a newbie. Thanks!

Moize could I do this on mobile labtop not working again.
Would this be simliar to bootfix with defy senors included.
Thanks.
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using xda premium

No, you can't do that on the phone. You would need a computer setup to compile CM7 from source.

I figured you could not do it on mobile the fix can't come from me it will have to be one of are devs.

Mr. mchlbenner's eagerness to test is always welcome
Thanks for the links! Will study them.

Thanks what you said this has been around about for 7 weeks with no progress I ready to change phones going to lg 2x but I will check this time to time.
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using xda premium

If only J.Y.Daddy would also release his sources. I would start by comparing source code. Since ROMs have compiled source code, i cannot easily compare. I'll just make do with the xt720 source for now. Thanks!

J.Y. Daddy didn't compile. He did a binary port of nadlabak's (aka kabaldan) alpha preview CM9 for Milestone (A853): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445209 You can compare the original and ported versions to study what J.Y. Daddy changed.
Nadlabak's tree is at http://github.com/nadlabak. I don't think anyone's set up a CM9 tree for XT720.
Edit: hey, wait a minute? Do XT720 ROM's run on XT800W?

I throught it did what's the point?
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using xda premium

I haven't tried flashing an XT720 ROM straight to my XT800W, but if I am right, they have minimal differences in hardware (as of now I am inspecting).
I'll try flashing an XT720 ROM straight later
Thanks for the clarification, that helps me to know where to start
Update: Don't flash an XT720 ROM into an XT800W, the recovery for the latter is also overwritten. JUST DON'T. Now I have a brick to fix )

fjfalcon has ics branch
about recovery, sorry hope you will make it live again (may be it will be good idea, to create update with your "orenrecovery" and to "update" it after other updates...

Just unstuck myself using this: http://bbs.hiapk.com/thread-1242662-1-1.html and have replied to your PM. Thanks for all the support guys!
Before I flashed CM 9 for xt720, I flashed CM 9 for xt800w. It works almost all fine except for the camera of course.
@mchlbenner: sensors = proximity / compass / accelerometer ? Looks like they work for the xt800w, straight from the ROM itself. Maybe it's because the hardware used for the A853 is practically the same for the xt800w.
And the J.Y.Daddy uploaded ROMs for CM9 have their debug.sf.nobootanimation set to 0. So might as well for those who will test set this to 1 first.

Takes time and testing. Also even though got unlock bootloader and part of cwm don't think we can flash roms yet. Think they are waiting on something else.

Plus the source code for the kernel has not been release. I think when the source code is released, there will be a lot more excitement all around. Looking forward to seeing some optimized kernels running on these devices. Some custom roms and kernels will be a blast.

It has literally been less than 3 weeks (20 days to be exact) since the phone was released.
Plus, they already have an unlocked bootloader. I remember waiting almost 6 months before the Atrix's bootloader was unlocked.

This is why I usually avoid threads that use multiple (unnecessary) punctuation.

It might be an idea to stop posting "I WANT MY ROMZ NAO!" threads, otherwise devs might not even bother.
Development doesn't happen overnight. I'm sure there are devs working on them as we speak.
Be patient!
