HTC Issue, Hope you guys help

So right now were trying to make sure that the future of HTC's phones dont get knocked out because of the encrypted bootloader they are trying to force upon us so im just writing this to you all to make sure that the XDA members know whats going on and I was wondering if you all can help us out, these are the details:
right now i'm sure your aware of what is going on in HTC's facebook page and i wanted to know if you
would read up on what is going on and show that everyone is wanting this to be unlocked.
This first link is the petition that were all signing to show to HTC that we are wanting this:
http://www.groubal.com/htc-bootloade...nd/#signatures
We want more to know about it so i was reaching out to all of you right now.
this second link is the conversation that a member who started this had with a sprint rep on facebook, it shows that sprint is not the one responsible for the locked bootloader and that they are not trying to push for it.
https://www.facebook.com/sprint/posts/156658601067283
This last link is just what xda is thinking of it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1094914
we know that they made a statement but we want to make sure that they know that we all want this to be unlocked
So pass this along and let everyone know what is happening! thanks for your help!

The links are dead. I think this is a bogus post. Admins, please review and close this thread if it is.

No surprise with future HTC phones getting locked and/or encrypted BLs. Pressure from carriers are finally getting to HTC.
Someone from XDA will crack 'em.

Seems like sprint isn't pushing this on them though, based on what i've seen with this info it seems its HTC's part here that they want to protect their Sense UI most likely. but you can help and try to change the future because that's not something i want and i'm sure no one in xda wants this either

It appears that you cut the links from another post wherein the tag get's abbreviated (the ellipsis in the middle) but the actual href is valid. You should always right click the link and "copy address" (or however it appears in your browser) instead of selecting the text directly.

Yea I saw that I have never had that issue before but wanted to get the word out there and try to get as much help as possible

Radio leak / removed threads

A few threads have been removed the past few hours. These are regarding a leaked radio which is known to brick devices and has been taken from a compromised server.
Reposting will not be tolerated. Distribution through PM, or even hinting that you may be available to spread it through PM or other methods, will be treated as open reposting. "Vacations" will be dealt out to those who do so.
This is both for your own good as for the good of others. Some of you are able to read between the lines - I have read it in your posts - and good for you.
Have patience, it will come.

if you build it they will come...

Thanks for posting. This should really be a stickied topic as its a highly talked about subject.

So that new radio that dissapeared is Mega crap also huh? How did wwe figure this out if knowone hardly has it. Just wondering I read it was an older version then the one currently being used by people like me. Is that a fact?

I think the important thing is to protect sources. Not sure if it is bricking or not. Though I don't want to be the one to find out.

I'm not sure, but this probably means GB release is very soon? Wouldn't that make sense?

It got pulled off every site within 2 mins. I just got lucky enough to snag it. But I will not distribute so please no pms asking for it

bamf team is coming out with a new sense 3.0 rom(there is a preview zip available in the bamf 2 beta thread) so im guessing there is something coming soon, he seemed to stop once the brick issue came about, so why else would they and others update and create new roms for GB radios.

It wont brink you, its just to protect sources and legal issues probably. Im using it and its much better than the first leak, only got one reboot in the few hours my phone was on

The fact that we have an MR2 Radio means GB could be right around the corner. I have had one reboot with it, (although that might have been a fluke, as the phone had 3% battery left), and so far it is very stable, and I wouldn't be surprised to see an official build out soon.

It seems that in some alternate reality it is acceptable to assume that "in your spare time" means cancel all of your plans and get used to fluorescent lighting because daylight is just the glare on your computer screen. Either way, I am downloading some 2 gigs of random ICS stuff and finally received my replacement Macbook, so between projects I will try to get something moving on this.

You rock! Subscribing.

Right now all I have is the sdk version from RootzWiki, which appears was a post of just the modified boot. I have a few Nexus4g builds that claim to work. I have a rebuilt boot image and I am trying to pack all of it together and see what happens so I know where to start.

I guess if you didn't see the previous thread, which was more or less a rick-roll youtube video that said it isn't possible to get anything running, then an understandable first reaction is to make rude comments...
But if you read the thread you are responding to, you would have seen that on the Nexus it is a working build, capable of being used as more than just a proof-of-concept. Then again, I don't expect people to read these days because they are too busy writing...

Best leave the developing to the developers and stop back when there is something to load up and complain about

So getting an SDK port working on a Nexus S is the same as getting it to run on the ThunderBolt?
I'm not saying it isn't possible though I highly doubt it will work. I'm saying don't call it the "Real Deal".

This is real ICS development, and not a prank so it is as the title says "ICS Development (Real Deal)"
And no, getting a port working on the Nexus S is not the same as getting it to work on the Thunderbolt, which is why there isn't a file in that first post yet. I think you are assuming that the only thing available is the SDK image, though, when the full system dump is out there also.
My previous statement still stands.. Why don't you go shake down some kids for their script source, and come back when there is something here to test.

You do know downloads, packing, transferring, uploading, etc do run in the background right? I remember back when threads like this rallied up support and assistance instead of whatever you call what you're doing... For the record I am waiting on a data wipe and a lot of stuff is still installing since the computer only came yesterday.
I can just toss up every little edit I test and brick phones all day long, or I can document the process and release when it hits milestones. That way I can catch input along the way and prevent a lot of wasted time.
Just swapped the boot on the posted Nexus build, changed over all the apn info, and added in all the keylayout and hardware files. Going through and finding everything that needs to be swapped for a straight port, then if it runs I will post up the progress.

Whether you get anywhere or not, good luck
Nothing wrong with doing something just for the challenge of having said you did it and the experience.

I am glad to see someone putting some real effort into getting an ICS port going. And appreciate you posting your progress here along the way. I'm interested in seeing how you get where you get.
Good Luck

As already mentioned, this thread is for relevant discussion of the upcoming port.
If you have nothing constructive to contribute then keep it to yourself.
No *****ing and whining about the probable lack of functionality, no pestering for ETA's and no petty personal playground nonsense.
No more warnings​If this goes off topic again then there will be repercussions​.

Thanks. The good news is that I have a shopping list of what has been changed to go from sdk to working port. The bad news is that I also have a project due Thursday that I need to actually spend some time with.
For anyone with the sdk build, make sure before even trying to run it that you replace all the /system/bin files that just say toolbox with real files or set up symlinks for them. Busybox also needs to be added/replaced in /system/xbin
This will get that version to where you can run logcat and see the EGL errors, but it will also be in a condition to start tweaking files to get the touchscreen running.

I can't waaaaiiiitttt!!
Take as much time as you need! Your life is more important than this.

I am uploading what I have, but not because it is a huge step forward. I fixed all the commands and added the files that should fix the touchscreen, but didn't on this device.
This is still a step forward from the base build we currently have. At least typing a command no longer results in "toolbox" being displayed instead of results. I reverted everything I tested to make sure the only test changes were absolutely necessary to provide a solid base. I will post a link as soon as it is up.

Soak test is back on WTF....

I got this email from Motorola today.....
Hi.
Thanks for signing up for the Atrix 2 software test. Our apologies for the delay in starting this test! The software will begin to be pushed out later this afternoon; however, it may take several hours for all targeted devices to receive the update.
We're eager to hear your feedback. Please share your experience on the private community provided, and via the survey I will send out after you've had some time to work with the software.
To ensure we hear you, please follow these guidelines:
•Please post all your feedback in our private community (link below). This also where you'll find help during the soak.
•Please do not call or contact Motorola, AT&T or your carrier support for help during the soak. Those teams are not yet ready to support this software.
•I'm not able to check private messages on the forums during soaks, so if you need immediate help that's not a good route to take. Post in the community instead.
•If you have any problems accessing the private community, please click here for help.
•Please do not post questions publicly, on our site or elsewhere.
Please start your visit to the private community here. You'll find additional important information in the Welcome message as soon as you sign in. (Note that you will not be able to post in the public communities during the soak test.)
Thanks so much for your participation! We really appreciate your time and insights.
Regards,
Motorola Feedback Network
Motorola Owners' Forum
Visit us at: forums.motorola.com

I saw this in another thread. Once again, we're advising to download the leak but DO NOT install it. Extract it from your cache folder and upload it to give to one of the devs via PM.
DO NOT post it on the forums or in a thread.
Oh and waiting? Can you please edit your post so the gentleman's name from Motorola is not posted?
Thanks.

67.21.125
nothing interested.

How long do we have to wait before we start blaming Motorola's sad update schedule on Google? Have we reached that threshold? They are, after all, the ones who laid off a bunch of Motorola staffers (potentially those working on the Atrix 2's update). I'll stop, because there's already been enough baseless conjecture around this, but at this point I think it comes down to Google.

I blame all the Indian ICS Atrix2 users for posting so many questions. It probably scared the Motorola company lurkers until they got quiet again.
But seriously, like you said, enough is enough. Mods please delete any new posts that try to start that stupid, tired argumentative thread again.

You likely have removed some bloat or touched a file it checks. Your best bet it to copy the update to your SD card and FXZ to stock, update to 2.3.6, and apply ICS soak. As has been stated MANY times, once you are on this version of ICS you can't FXZ back. Good luck!

Just fyi, you can also check /cache/recovery/last_log.txt to see why it failed... but yea, once you go on this soak build, there's most likely no going back.

Testers needed

I need 5 testers to test this official stock Jelly Bean build based on the Asian Jelly Bean leak.
I am uploading it now, and it should take about an hour or so to complete.
What I need are the first 5 people that reply to this thread will be picked, if there are more replies, and someone is not able to right away, then I will get with the next people. This is a first come first picked type of a thing.
Now for the requirements:
1) You must have an AT&T branded phone.
2) You must use your phone is in the US (those outside the US will have more work to be done, and I can work with those later on).
3) You must be able to trouble shoot just a little bit, since I do not have my Atrix2 anymore and you will have to be my hands and eyes.
4) You also can not have an issue with having root on your phone (I know some prefer not to have root).
5) You must know how to use RSD lite and apply the proper fxz, in case anything goes wrong.
Ok, so with all that out of the way. Just reply here and say that you want to test this, and I will PM the people to test once the upload completes.
