[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.

Updated post. I'm done for today. I'm off to sleep. I'll continue tomorrow. Hope someone can find out the audio issue out.

dont give up on this bro. keep it up

Glad to see progress. Can't wait till u get it to boot.

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.

I was never able to login or create an account with previous motoblur ports. :/

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.

Motoblur widgets included?

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.

[WIP] [PORT] Android 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1

Port of the Mytouch3g rom that had a rom stock rom from the Wildfire S
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025330
Rom link will be available again when I get a bootable version.
How to flash:
Go to clockwork recovery and wipe and format everything except sdcard.
Install the rom.
Boot up and wait a while (might take about 10 mins so have patience)
Please respond to the thread with any errors that you encounter and also leave pics to for others to see and any pictures of errors encountered.

reserved just incase

As long as camera works, I'll be all over this.

If you actually complete a GSM port of THIS! Wow that'll be amazing. I am curious though, since the mods frown on "coming soon" threads, what is your definition of "soon". I might actually enjoy sense if it was GB fast. Thanks for working on this! I know *some* devs have said they want this, but I don't know if you've asked them for help/teamwork. Not a bad idea, there's only a few devs left anyway, send some PMs maybe you will find some nice help

Duce I'm with you. If this happens I'm on it.

Actually im going to but the link up by today for people to test out. My phone is a jerk though and for every sense rom that isnt eclair only goes to htc boot screen and stays there (probably because of my ext3 partition or might be because im s-on) but im sure it will work for others and hopefully I will fix my Hero's problem.

Hello,
So are we talking this evening yet? It has been a long time since I was willing to drive sense! Thumbs up all the way...

Hey if you're gonna port GSM roms it takes kernel work, why on gods green earth are you s-ON !?!?!?
EDIT: also, if I read that correctly, you are not able to boot? I hope I misunderstood you...........
EDIT 2: I now reread your posts, and remembered your earlier thread posts today "I don't know how to port a GSM rom" and your last post in that thread was about 2pm, this OP at about 5:30. I sincerely want you to drop this ROM, but I now doubt you ported a GSM rom in a few hours. I really hope my suspicions are wrong, but if you don't post a bootable ROM, well.............................

I need to flash something. This may hold back the shakes & the slobbering tonight.

I've pm'd some devs asking for kernel help and I'm s-on cuz I always forget to turn it to s-off. Actually it's not just this rom that doesn't boot for me it's any sense rom after 2.1. I'm positive it will work for others though and it might b cuz I'm s-on

based SOLELY on this post, I will not flash whatever you put up - unless of course others do and it works - but it won't I'm sure. You don't flip a frakking switch to go "off" And you just confirmed you have a zip that will do nothing. Booting up a ROM has NOTHING to do with the security state of your bootloader. Man this kinda reminds me of "webOS on heroC"......... Prove me wrong, please.

Dude calm down. And .zip does install and you can boot what im saying though that you cant seem to understand is that NO SENSE ROMS AFTER ECLAIR BOOT UP FOR ME. For me is the key word but for YOU (and others) its different. I had the same thing happen to me to with PMGRANDS Espresso rom and that boots up for others.

Well, again, proof? I have a few thoughts that may help you. First, get s-off. Then, these froyo and GB sense ROMs are HUGE and may actually need custom MTD partitions for a larger /system (see firerats). Third, booting a beast that big will take a WHILE. Still, proove me wrong.

I would recommend the eng-spl method, as it allows fastboot commands such as "fastboot erase system -w" which may help you flash these things after a clean wipe. How big is the ROM.zip ? That should tell you how large your system partition needs to be. I think the stock system partition size is 160mb. I remember in the beginning of the froyosense port it needed to be around 200 or so.....

MIUI V4 Now?

So how possibly will it be now to port MIUI V4 to the infuse now that CM9 is up and running? I'd like to see it. I tried to do it myself. The ROM gets past the kernel splash and to the MIUI boot animation. The bottom buttons light up but it dosen't boot in.

No guide. I've ported ROMS before, did it for the Infuse back when Mikey did his first port of MIUI GB. Kinda just know what goes where, or at least I usually do. Not sure what I'm going wrong this time. I'm kinda purposely flying solo as I don't have a full dev environment at home but if I have to I will get ADB working and get a log cat. Any chance you can get one?

Yeah, I have a pretty weak environment set up, I might be able to get you a logcat. It might be later on today or tomorrow, I've been unusually busy this week.

DO NOT FLASH IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTIONS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE CAUSE!
IT'S BASICALLY NOT USEABLE
(TEST/ PROOF OF CONCEPT)
Here I have a copy of what I have so far. It still needs a lot of work, the touch screen seems to work in spurts and sometimes you can't get past the lock screen. I hardly have the time to continue the work because I am graduating soon and I'm getting prepared for finals. Please acknowledge this simple request, do not make a thread for this nor flash it if you have no intentions to post a log cat/diagnose its symptoms.
Instructions:
1)Flash jt1134's recovery (necessary -- at least if you don't have it)
2)Make sure you were previously on a cm9 rom
3)Wipe data/factory reset
4)Wipe dalvik cache
5)do not format "/system"
6)reboot
7)happy coding

[Q] Does anyone know what's wrong with this screen?

I was trying to update my mom's Infuse to ICS, then all of a sudden this (attached) happened. Heimdall had just given me the libusb.dll error (I needed to update the bootloader cause I kept getting rainbows in CWM), so I was unplugging the phone so I could get the right drivers.
I have a horrible feeling I did something very wrong. I can't imagine why what I was doing would have caused this though, since the cmd had gone back to a default state after giving the error.
Is there any way to fix this?? Thanks a ton in advance!

can you get it into download mode...?
if so run the one click again and you might have to check the box for bootloaders, on the second run...meaning I would run it twice...

It does that immediately on power up. Doesn't even get to the Samsung screen. Odin will recognize the phone, but when I try to flash a return to stock package (which I used earlier perfectly fine), it says the md5 is invalid.
Like I said, I never even got to the point of installing the bootloader since I forgot about the drivers. Are you saying I should install the drivers and try to flash the bootloader again?
Thanks so much for the help! I've never had this much trouble with a phone before
EDIT: I'm a dumbass. since I couldn't see the screen, I forgot to press up again after entering download mode. Odin is now in the process of installing the aforementioned return to stock package. And I think it worked!
You have no idea how grateful I am of you for pointing that out! I feel kind of dumb for not trying it, but when the screen looked like that I could only assume there was no functionality!
THANKS AGAIN! Times a million!

Lol ok let us know when you get it up and running....kk

What EXACTLY gave you the idea to put your mother's phone on a ROM that half works and has many bugs? Just trying to understand... I could have done this to my friend's mom's atrix, but I didn't because the stock ROM will always have the least bugs for unpopular devices like ours. (ones that don't get official support for CM or AKOP or anything)

whooo there...slow your roll...
the op has the options to put what he wants, and actually if you have been tracking the ICS/CM9/AOKP threads they have made leaps in the smashing of bugs....actually very stable and good to go now, seeing how just months ago we didn't even have any ver of ICS, and yes it takes homework to install..
and you kept stock on your friends Mommy phone well that was between you and him and Mommy...
so long story short....as far as unpopular, I see this device being sold and for a high demand on CL and Ebay...with all the support given here...that is my IMHO...as is yours

First of all, every once in a while, she asks me if there are any updates yet.
Second, there's only a short list of insignificant bugs mentioned in the ICS topics.
I flashed GB on it a while back, and I figured since CWM and everything was set up already I wouldn't have a problem; flash, reboot, flash again, done. Unfortunately, it wasn't flashing the second time for whatever reason, and I figured it had something to do with the now half-functional CWM.
Anyway, to those of you who weren't unreasonably judging me, and rather decided to help: Thank you, the phone is now back up and running!

att one x wont let me flash rom..

Ok guys, so Ive rooted using the 1.85 method and unlocked my bootloader using the spoof cid and htcdev.com method. TWRP 2.2 installed, and thats about it.. downloaded CleanROM4.5, on PC moved to phone and rebooted into recovery, went to install and just comes up " Failed".. Tried twice and nothing. Got freaked out and even went and accpeted the OTA 2.2 att update, once I hit install it just reboots into TWRP and Thats it, from there i can reboot and what not and the phone functions fine a well, it just wont flash anything.. I guess maybe Im missing something..? Im not a complete noob, you could say i am a flashaholic with my HTC Inspire 4g so i dunno whats going on here. any help is appreciated..
recap
phone is currently rooted stock 1.85
Bootloader unlocked
S-on
wont let me flash, i dont get it...

If you downloaded from chrome that could be your problem, it messes up the ROMs. Happened to me as well..lol Try firefox, it works perfect

sinco54 did you :
Copy ROM to storage
Reboot to Recovery
Recommend wiping data / Factory Reset in Recovery!
Install ROM and Aroma installer will start.
Choose Standard or Lite Edition
Let install complete
Reboot to System
Profit!
I copied that from the first post of : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655011
Before I wiped anything I made a backup of my 1.85 setup.
Not trying to incite you but I'm on my first android phone and it worked perfectly for me last week.
I used chromium on my pc to download the zip then transfer it to the phone, are you and SkookDroid talking about downloading the zip directly to the 1X? That would be weird if that was why it didn't work.
I tried the CM10 8/9 alpha today and had to change back to cleanrom 4.5 because the call quality was messed up. First I wiped cache and davlik cache with TWRP then restored my 1.85 backup. It said everything was ok but on restart it hung on the white 1X screen until 5min later I restarted and the restore finally took.
Good Luck with it.

The install instantly fails due to a bad download, thats why I said to use a different browser to download the ROM from the pc then move it to the phone and flash it lol

yuup, back up done, wiped dalvik and cache, fatory reset blahblahblahblah.. instantly fails.. Im downloading via mozilla right now but, gonna give that a while once that finishes up and see what happens.. and thats why im confused, it should work JUST FINE cause ive done this 8 million times but ive gotta be missing something obviously cause it should work.. the funy part is that the phone wont even let the OTA 2.2 from att install, it just goes directly to twrp and thats it.. thats where i get lost, i cant flash from twrp and the OTA will just boot directly into twrp so its like ive missed something somewhere.. Ill update here in a few minutes once i try again with a new download via mozilla.. thanks guys and sit tight..

No. Instead, people blame browsers for not completing downloads. It takes 15 seconds at the most to check MD5 sum and it can save hours of headache.

I was giving my opinion because chrome has given me problems before. Sorry we cant all be super devs like you, oh wait...

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic It's just that coming from the aria forum it was almost like written in stone (attn1) always check md5 before flashing anything. It's just a really easy way to make sure your not about to flash something that could potentially Bork your phone.

And your opinion is wrong. Browser has nothing to do incomplete downloads.

Depends on the devs. Some forums make things very noob friendly (like the HOX). Very convenient and nice of the devs, but when people don't even know what fastboot and ADB is, it causes a lot of grief for the devs. Just look at what happened with the scandal that almost deterred Scott from producing HOX roms. It's fine being new to the scene, but there are too many people who don't even care enough to read instructions.

Even some of the ROM developers themselves said the same thing about chrome, but since your the smartest guy around and no ones opinion matters but yours they're wrong too right? I've been here for a month, youve been here for two years. Im new to the scene and still learning, its people like you that deter newcomers from asking questions and participating in this site. Im not here to argue with you, im here to try to help out fellow users(WHICH I DID) so have a good day, sir.

yeah my bad entirely, i had assumed that because i was downloading from scott directly and not like media share or some mirror download that the md5 needed to be checked. but that still doesnt explain why 2 downloads via chrome were not good and 1 download via firefox is ok.. i dont know, but its interesting to me.. I didnt claim to be mr know it all, nor do i think i am at this stuff but your shamless sarcastic stab wether to be taken like that or not sounds like it..
I do understand this site has grown exponentially and many of the original guys are just disgusted with newbs like myself but ill tell you i do appreciate all the help ive been able to search for over the last 3-4 years as a lurker and finally registered a few months back.. I hate internet forums for this exact reason.. wether skookie was correct or incorrect he helped me and he deserves an 8 ball of the finest coke and 2 hookers for it. cheers!!

I want you to know that I try to help everyone I can and even have taken **** from some other members for not letting some members with redundant questions figure somethings on there own. As far as the downloads go I'm nit going to take sides because I've seen people report the same thing that one browser works while another doesn't. But my point still is what ever your using to download or where its being downloaded from there is always a chance that it can get corrupted or be incomplete so a quick md5 check just ensures a safe flash.
