http://sourceforge.net/projects/me865.motorola/files/

Hopefully this has what we need...if so...let the games begin!!!!

Does having the source code give the dev's a means to unlock the bootloader?
Or perhaps a better question is, what exactly does having the source code do for us?

That's the hope here. It still won't get recovery working but could possibly help with that cause too.

Thanks 916x10.
I also found this - a similar question of the OG Atrix...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12441258&postcount=13
Custom ROM's should be coming soon.

The biggest gain we will probably have is developers can use this for custom ROM's and Kernels. Unfortunately who knows when we will get to use a kernel since the bootloader is locked. I believe we are still gonna have to rely on getting some OTA update to help with a working FXZ and unlocking the bootloader. Everyone that can needs to help out. The bootloader unlock thread will instruct you on what needs to be done.

An updated file was posted 8 hrs ago to the original link here is the newest file notice it is now a 90 instead if an 86 and the lettering in the last extension has changed also this was the originalME865/5.5.1-1_GC-86_EDSCHN-6/

Also notice it has Bionic all over it.
Very Interesting. I will be pulling some of it apart to look at the code, with the SDK and see what I find.

There's no aggression here. Your eyes must be screwed in backwards. A question is NOT an accusation.
Please stop. No need for the back and forth.
Thanks for the post, I'm sure there's sombody out there who was unaware of the SDK drop.
So.. sorry for the non-developer question here but.... Now that the SDK is out.. does that mean we will start seeing the devs pushing out 2.2 roms or is there something else that will still need to happen for this to work?
I am no dev but my understanding is that this is just the sdk we need to wait until circa June.
Maybe a dev can be more accurate but I am not sure we have a dump of the Rom yet

Not yet. As far as I'm aware, the source code for Froyo has not yet been released to the AOSP git (where we can access the Google-maintained source). Until it is released there, all we can do is play with the SDK and develop Froyo-ready applications.

Devs could try to use SDK images or device dumps to create roms, but this will be "hacking way" until Google will upload Froyo sources.
Froyo, already has apps2sd integrated. I just wet myself

no, we wont start seeing ROMs for release on here until some 2.2 sourse is given to the AOSP(android open source project) which will hopefully not be too much longer.i give it end of first week in june.
2.1 has been out for how ever long and they still have not released the correct drivers to us users on G1/MT3G.....(video drivers and such)
I hope they do give the Dev what they need, but why should we expect it when what we still lack on 2.1 has not been released?
I am not even close to being a developer and don't really know what Im talking about, but just my thoughts....
so froyo should work better than eclair on our g1/mt3g's?
Straight from the googleio twitter, retweeted by Cyanogen:
Froyo will be made available to OEMs and the open source community in the coming weeks.

Yeah, unfortunately it is not the source code yet, just the parts for the emulator and pieces needed for Devs to write apps specifically for the Atrix2.
I wish there was more there for us to use to get this thing cracked open. Hopefully we can get a ROM developer to jump in here soon and help us collect what they need to get started on ROM development. Although we will need someone like Th3ory who is not afraid of making ROMs for devices with locked bootloaders, because I have a feeling it will be after ICS before we have an unlocked bootloader.
An emulator as in a full emulation of our phone? So if one were to try to develop a ROM for this thing could that be used to test rather than risking a brick?

Jim I'm curious. What recovery are you using? Bionic bootstrapper? And is it safe yet? I've read on it a little. Is it one of those things where unless your a bit of a dev not to try it?
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk
@PeteSeiler2010:
Yes this could be used to test a Developed ROM, however until we get a hold of some kind of code for this thing, there can't be too much development of ROMs and such, unless someone knows something I don't. And "code" can be anything from an fxz to the released source code for the Atrix 2 build.
@tylercarter:
For a "Recovery" this is the one you want, link below. And yes it is not 100% yet, but it does what we need it to right now, the only issue is if you crash, you can't get back to it on boot, you have to use the bootstrap to boot into it, from your app drawer. This is again something that can be done after a bootloader unlock. This will allow back up and restores though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346977
----EDIT----
I use the emulator for a lot of the work I have been doing to see what will happen, without risking a screwup on my phone directly. Then once I have tested it out there, on the phone it goes. You can even test apps from the market as well, just to see. It is really for app developers, to do their testing of the apps they build, but we can also do something similar for our "hacking".
Thanks for info Jim, I am going to download it and check it out and see if there is anything I do with it.
Also, Jim, have you done many restores on your phone? I have been hesitant to try one...its just so risky without the sbf.

Not a FULL restore, but there are others who have tried one of the updates in the bootloader unlock forum, that have been able to restore back to before the update successfully.
I have restored files, and even directories, but not the whole thing yet.

Sourceforge has JB source now. :)

I may be a little slow, or might even be bringing news but Motorola released the source-code for the JB update last week. :good:

To expand on this manufacturers are only required to put out the code they used from the open-source code from Google. Chances are it doesn't contain proprietary code added in by the manufacturer, so this is only helpful to developers trying to get things working.
The only usefult thing in there is kernel, but we're using our own anyway. So ...

Here is a sytem dump from my rooted pure ota 4.4.4 vzw i got it for myself to use.. But i figured i would share it with anyone that needs or wants to use it..

Exactly haha. Not sure why people are jumping the gun on development for this phone already. My Moto g5 plus took longer than this from its initial release to get development going. And now that phone is very active in the community.
Anyway, point is, just give it some time like this guy said. The phone isn't exactly a flagship anyway. And the Android one version hasn't even been released here yet.

thanks for the comments. how long have you been in the developer scene with HTC. Also nobody is jumping the gun. We aren't allowed to go to devs and ask for eta's so I just made this thread so they may see and hopefully give some love to this phone. All I need is root and a recovery I can do the rest.
Look on the bright side, pixel 2 been out for a month. And even we are slow on development. You'll get root and probably a few roms, it will take time though.
Also the fact that bootloader is unlockable when phone cost less than $400 is kinda big deal

Very well put. I only usually get the flagship HTC phones but this time I chose this since it was T-Mobile specific. And I waited to long to get u11 so using this till next HTC flagship comes. I look forward to seeing you around.
HTC phones from my experience don't take too long to get root. They average about a month or so. Keep in mind my last HTC was the EVO LTE.
You don't need a custom recovery for root.
You can use Magisk to patch a stock boot.img for your device (for example, one found here) and flash the patched image via fastboot. Then you're rooted, and you didn't even need TWRP.
I won't be purchasing this device, so unfortunately I can't build a TWRP for it (that and I'm retiring in 8 posts). If someone else wants to pursue building it, I'm willing to offer minimal assistance.

There's a thread on xda about building TWRP. I've never built TWRP before, but I know about using build environments and whatnot. Google "how to build TWRP" I believe haha, as simple as it sounds it should come up in the top few results.
Anyway, I think you and I should help each other out here like you said. I'm using an older imac since I sold my old PC. It only has 4gb ram, but I'm going to install Ubuntu tomorrow on the Mac as a partition, and then hopefully I can get a build environment going quickly and start work.
What are you doing so far? Are you able to build too? Or maybe we can both research and bounce ideas off each other while I try it out. Whatever you prefer. Just PM me I guess.

I can build I have a great machine and all ready downloaded the source. The only difference in building twrp for a new device is we have to make our own files from scratch. And it would be nice if we had an ruu to restore back from if things don't go well during testing. We can figure it out. Help is always good more people trying different things usually gets results faster.

Hopefully something good or I'll end up with a bricked device till ruu comes
I would love to eventually see a ROM that gives the T-Mobile variant a similar appeal as the Android One version. I bought the U11 Life as a backup to my Pixel 2 (and to benefit from T-Mobile's Carrier Freedom promo, as well) and I was very surprised as to how much I actually enjoyed using the phone!
Brought me back to the days when I had the One M7.
Just so everyone is aware...... Once you unlock your bootloader you can then go super CID, once you are super CID you can flash ANY GSM boot.img , so there is no roadblock on that end. The roadblock is no custom recovery, if we had a custom recovery then we are open to a world of wonders and amazement. So get to work......
