Hello Fire owners!
I open this thread to keep all things of Fire together, only one thread, everything here.
So here we go:
THIS THREAD IS FOR MOTOROLA XT311/XT316/XT317, XT530/XT531, XT532 AND XT611 (aka SMARTFLIP) ONLY. IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR THREAD, PLEASE PM ME AND PASS ME YOUR POST. LET'S KEEP XDA ORGANIZED!
CWM FOR FIRE XT XT530/XT532, SPICE XT XT531, FIRE XT311, SPICE KEY XT316 OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED
This thread was focused in the 2nd-Init for XT31X and XT530, 531 and 532. For almost six months, we worked patientlly to get the CWM working on our devices. The wait for CWM is OFFICIALLY OVER. In a couple days ago, our friend aweosomeabhijeet found a way to run CWM on Gingerbread. The tutorial (made by himself) will be posted NOW:
Hey Guys
All your wait is over.
Here I'll tell you how to get CWM for Moto Fire XT.
Disclaimer : I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone. I have tried it and finished successfully.
Try only if you know little bit about android.
This is beta version. However, a dev is working on not using a PC to reboot back into system, and is trying to make the installation simplified.
Lot of thanks to andrewidya
Required things
1. Rooted XT
2. Pc
Download these things on your phone:
1. Terminal emulator
2. Busybox(Open it and install)
3. Root browser
4. Pimp my Rom
5. ES file explorer
You can find all of them in the Play Store.
If you have done with it download the attachment.
Now main work.
It is not easy though but I think everyone can do it.
Steps:
1. Extract the attachment and copy it to your sdcard
2. Mount /system as RW.
3. Open Root Browser and copy bootmenu folder from sdcard/XT530 and paste it in /system.
4. Open Pimp My Rom and Add universal init.d support.
5.Create 97bootmenu manually.(For this using ES file explorer is recommended)
Steps:
a.Open /system/etc/init.d
b. Create a file, name it 97bootmenu.
c. Open the file as text
Type:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
stop
exec /system/bootmenu/binary/bootmenu
d.save the file
6. Change permissions of 97bootmenu to rwx r-- r--
7. Reboot your phone.
Now your phone will start at bootmenu.
Select Recovery>Custom Recovery
PS: If you want to get back the phone to boot normally. Just connect it to PC, open CMD and type
cd path-to-adb.exe
adb shell
rm -R /system/etc/init.d/97bootmenu
exit
adb reboot
I succeeded here's the video:

Sorry for poor camera quality.
Thanks to all the members.
Special Thanks to:
Gentrylamp for creating bootmenu.
7amdoun for his great knowledge and modding bootmenu for XT530.
andrewidya for correcting me at every point.
Mazen.kh for everything he did.
Mr.Indigo for giving us hopes.
And all other members whom I forgot to mention here.

THANKS TO HIM AND TO ALL OF THE DEVELOPERS WHO HELPED TO GET THIS.
ROOTING & UNROOTING
You will follow this tutorial if you have 2.3.5 version of Android:
Downloads:
Here are the apps/files needed for Rooting -
1. SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0
2. SUT LR 1.8.2 (Doesn't seem to be working on 64-bit systems)
3. FXX_PR3_NV.xml and NvDefinition.xml [ATTACHED]
Before Rooting:
Prepare your phone by doing the following:
- Go to Settings > Applications > CHECK "Unknown Sources"
- Go to Settings > Applications > Developer > CHECK "USB Debugging" and "Stay Awake"
- Connect your phone via USB, when prompted DO NOT select USB Mass Storage.
- Extract FXX_PR3_NV.xml and NvDefinition.xml from the attached zip file in to a folder
- Now, install SUT LR, run the app
- Select the FXX_PR3_NV.xml [ensure NvDefinition.xml is also in the same folder as FXX_PR3_NV.xml]
- Your phone will restart.
It does NOT erase anything on the phone, since it only patches the ROM.
Rooting:
After the phone restarts, open SuperOneClick and select root. It will take less than a minute to finish.

about CG2.smg
Hey man I'm interested in the thread and i can help you extracting the CG2.smg
Here you are my tut. [for windows] it worked for me
1- unrar the file in the attachments
2- make sure that your file is named to 'CG2.smg' without quotes for sure, and in the same folder..
3- just run the .bat and wait for cmd to finish the job then you will find a folder called 'CG2-extracted' in the same place you extracted my .rar file
Note: you will find in the folder called 'CG2-extracted' some mbn files, systemsec.mbn is the /system folder in the xt311/xt316
extract it easily using unyaffs like a system.img file, if you need help in this PM me. i can help you extracting systemsec.mbn only, i dunno about other files also to repack systemsec.mbn you'll need mkyaffs and i think it's usable on ubuntu only and i can't help you with it
sorry for long reply but press thanks if i helped.

Anytime Sir ! I just want to help in anyway getting this device better, By the way here's a list of useless applications so far !
- 7x27_FQC.apk
- Arabware.apk < 7 megabytes and useless
- Wifipowersavingmode.apk < I think it drains the battery faster -.-
- i also removed all motoswitch APKs, And installed go launcher instead in the system. And removed pre-installed live wallpapers
Also if you have errors like "preparing sd card - checking for errors" in the status bar you can delete system/bin/fsck_msdos since i deleted i get no errors for my partitioned sd card
Q/Request: Do you know how can i customize Notify led ? Like changing color and speed ? also it doesn't work with whatsapp!
Thanks anyway ! Ps. led works by Notifyled.apk.. of course you know xD
And Yeah, i found some srs files also, time ago, i thought it would be awesome to have a panel for it ! but maybe it's the normal speakers at the back and it's drivers..

No, i don't know, srry!
And we cannot use the control panel with the file incluided in the ROM. Needs a lot of files...
And i'm trying to por XT300 Toggle Widget to XT316. It will be harder but... it's beautiful!

It's weird how motorola build their phones and drivers, unlike samsung they give full customization !
And good luck man i wish i could help but i'm not really helpful in porting and modding

Yeah, Motorola lock the bootloader, locks the customization and much more. We need a CWM. FASTER!
Edit: before 2.3 versions, Motorola odexed the roms. All of the files were odexed. But Motorola now deodexed everything. So it will be easier.
And i think we can port the CWM from XT300. So, let's try!

I didn't know that there was cwm for xt300, but i think, if there is cwm for xt530/xt531/xt532 it'd be easier to port, since xt53X is to close to our xt311/xt316 and it also have 2.3.5 while xt300 2.1 only
Edit: i think xt311/xt316 users will never have custom recoveries/roms unless the bootloader is unlocked, and it'll be so hard to unlock such bootloader since the phone is not popular

Some guys tried to do an 2ndInit to maybe try to get CWM work. But didn't worked. A file from the battery (when you turn off the phone and conntect the charger, the big battery icon) was missing. But works without this file.
AND I FOUND WHERE WE CAN ACTIVATE SRS! Is in cda.prop, it's configured to false.
So what happens if i changed the value to true ?
i don't think cda props apply actually i tried to change the value of lock screen support rotation to true and nothing changed.
And Yup i read something about that battery icon too but i didn't understand fully how does that relate to unlocking bootloader
i think the bootloader must get hacked easily since as i see it's a common bootloader in many fones for ex. xt530 xt531 xt532 xt300 xt311 xt316 xt317 or am i wrong ?
If i can test the ROM in my computer (i don't know how to do it), we see if works. And Bootloader it's not the same for every phone series. XT300 executes 2.1 WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER. And XT316 with 2.3.5 WITH THE LOCKED Bootloader.
The SRS file is in the attachments. Just take a look on the 'st line:
BLOCK... I understand that is blocked.
And the battery icon maybe is on a apk or anywhere. We might look better.
EDIT:
I googled around and i found a thread that talks about CG2.smg. They tried to do the same what i doing, and didn't finish very well. The phone was bricked, but they use some files, replace and the ROM was going on very well.

i actually didn't understand what you said in the "EDIT" but i read that even with a locked bootloader we can have a custom rom, but not a custom kernel right ?
so you can recompress the edited cg2.smg files and re sbf it again after customizing it or am i saying meaningless words ?

OK. I will explain the edit first.
They edit the systemsec.mbn, repack the mbn and repack everything. but they've got an error. Then, the phone was bricked and RSD doesn't saw the phone.
A custom kernel will be pretty great, but we have to unlock the bootloader 1st.

so what kind of error did they get, cause i wanted to do the same as they and repack the rom as sbf and flash it..
also, can we try porting as .nb0 rom? i can see our stock recovery have the option to flash nb0 files

Maybe... Here is the error they got:
I got this after the flash attempt.

I've got from ModMyMobile (M3). They mod and bang! Bricked the device!
But they recovered.

This is cda.prop right?
it has some tweaks like build.prop, if you tried to change the mobile model that appears to the market from build.prop it won't work, but if you change it from cda.prop it will work also it have some other tweaks that i actually don't know what's it's use
And Don't Forget Thanks Button ^^
XT316 bricked
Hello guys, sorry if this is not the best place to post a problem but, this is the only one active discussion about XT316 that i have found, i have this phone with Brazil Claro stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread Android installed, then i have installed the ChainFire3D hoping to have better experience with some games...
But i got a bricked phone... when powering on, the phone shows only the Motorola logo, then a black screen with no response, and continous reboot
I started the phone in recovery mode and tryed to perform a Factory Recover, but no sucess, same with Wipe Cache Partition option, so, what is left to do now is my question...
Hey, please spare some time for me as I really want this to be fixed
I am using a Mini Pro running on Stock ROM and Kernal
It is rooted and has CWM 5.0.2.7-nAa
I recently downloaded Cyanogenmod 9.1 for my xperia mini pro (Sk17i) (Mango)
I went through the following steps to install it:
Did data/factory wipe

I am so sorry if I am bothering you or anything but I was going through the links, very handy and simple, and i came across this in the last link you have put about downlaoding a kernal .TFT
When reading through it says
Now you are ready to install a custom rom/kernel.
Let's start:
You go to development section and choose a rom you want for your device. You download the rom and the kernel for your device (make sure it is the right for yours! Sometimes the kernel is included in the installation zip file of the rom.
Now you have the boot.img and the rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now where is the Development section?
Where do i find the Boot.img?
What is the proper one for my sk17i?
I have downloaded CM9.1 for Mango from the cm official website and there is a boot.img inside the zip, should i just extract the boot.img out and keep it near the .zip file? and should i use this instead of the mini cm provided?
I really appreciate the links you have given and hope all my doubts can be cleared for me to actually start the process
Will hit that thanks button if it is a success :good:

S/W = Software.
To install stock software, even if ur phone is in bootloop, u may use PC Companion.
1. Start mobile in Flash mode (BACK/VOL+/- pressed when phone turned off and connecting usb cable + PC Companion enabled)
2. Agree on loosing all data Choose model (be careful -u20 and sk17i and sk17a are all mini pro, use hardware version marking)
3. allow it to work - it will download stock software for ur mini pro
Effect: unroot stock phone. U can root it again with FlashTool or one of root methods (for sk17i I believe so called zergRush does the job - search forums or gogole it )
Afterwards proceed with instructions for
1. Rooting
2. Unlocking bootloader
3. Reflashing phone with custom kernel and custom ROM
BE ADVISED: Above "root/unlock bootloader" actions usually void ur warranty. Be sure what u r doing, read thoroughly steps to not brick ur phone and do not be scared if bootloop happens - just find a way to enter flash mode again and use other .tft/ROM
OR - if u have already unlocked bootloader - simply download appropriate .tft file and flash it on ur phone using FlashTool. (the so called generic sk17i ROM has been provided in .tft format here: http://rumah-android.com/official-xperia-mini-pro-sk17i-4-1-b-0-431-firmware-ics-4-0-4.html)
U mighgt want to see through some of posts here to reduce ur noobishness http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471521
And use custom kernels/stock roms known for their stability in latest release/nigh release (search for xda forum threads).

I cant just plug my phone in and use the repair option from support zone?
It says that will erase all internal memory by replacing the software
So should I use that method?
And yeah, ive experience bootloop before so im fine and know what to do
And after all this is done and i get everything tis fine to restore my apps and studd using titanium right?

Development Section is a section of XDA forum, where crazy programmers deliver their kernels and ROMS...
This link is in Development Section, I believe the CM u r looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629334
Be advised - above CM requires custom kernel sk17i, it says it in Requirements in above link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25550442
If u succeed to unlock bootloader, it gets pretty simple, simpler than in Mihahn guide.
1. Given u have bootloader unlocked: using FlashTool u flash kernel (the .tft file) - thus u won't have to care about separate boot.img / .sin files flashing, they are incorporated in .tft thing.
2, If it suceeds - using flashtool u reset to recovery
3. USING CWM options - u mount ur USB storage
4. U put from ur PC zip with CM9
5. Unmount USB storage
6. Wipe all data as it says in ROM thread - otherwise u risk **** to hit the fan
7. Update from .zip, point to zip on sdcard
8.Relax
9. Get cofee
10. Relax
11. Watch it progress
12. Relax
13. Pray for best
14. After it finishes - reboot to normal. Be advised - first reboot after flashing ROM is always long, linux + ROM does automagic stuff
Short who's who:
kernel; linux kernel, da animal that is engine of subsequent android devices (i.e. kernel with Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Beans Adnroid releases) U NEED CAREFULLY CHOOSE THE ONE APPRIOPRIATE FOR UR DEVICE
ROM - closest to operating system u get on mobile devices, u might have different ROMs wortking on specific kernel
CWM - clockworkmode recovery - ur last resort if **** hits the fan to change ROM without reflashing kernel
I hope I got this as simple as I could... Sorry, I was former mobile s/w developer, such stuff is just usual for me, my stock u20i software didn't last 24h - I just immediately reflashed it co CM6, later to CM7 - just to have some options not available in stock rom connected to power management and application management.

Yes.
Generic ROM / Repair options brings u back to stock sk17i SE ROM. I dont remeber if repair option uploaded latest update, if yes - u might still have to use generic sk17i tft thing.
With restoring option - to be honest I didn't test it. It didn't worked well for me on CM6 and CM7 upgrade, yet possibly I did not all the things right. Still, if u have backed up apps and data on sdcard, it might be possible - please check it before reflashing ROMS (just root, install latest titanium backup and simply test the stuff).
Good luck on ur journey to reflash...

HELP
I have flashed the kernal to a xperia arc kernal (TO downgrade for rooting)
I start up doomlords rooter thingy
And once i press anykey its on this
daemon not running. Start it now
daemon started successfully
And its just there
Ive used this program to root before and it worked
Btw after installing the neo kernal the phone doesnt restart, only on black scree, ive gotten that before but it had rooted successfully before
Please help me out :/
what are you doing?
if you want cm10, you don't need to root you phone, just simply flashing the rom will give you root
also flashing a kernel not meant for your device will obviosely create problems
instead try flashing this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076764
and this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780326

Rooting done, going to now flash it back
Wish me luck :fingers-crossed:

If I ever meet you in real life, i would give you a hug
I dont know how to thank you!
It worked, i followed the original instructions which are quoted above ^ and it worked
I used a .img file to flash using flashtool and then flashed using CWM6 which came with the kernal
In the startup process
One thing that is a bummer is the slide out keyboards symbols which are printed on my phone do not match the ones which came with CM9
Meaning, on letter 'M' there is the symbol "%" in blue, so when i press the function button on the keyboard i end up with another Symbol when pressing "M", any way to fix it??
And one more thing
I have CM9, is it recommended to install CM10 nightly or should i wait for a stable release?
And if CM10 was good to install what steps should I use to install it?
Should i just place the .zip in the root of sd, then bootup in CWM and then install zip from sdcard?
Or i use the method you gave above?
Or I just boot in CWM and clear data and install from SD?
Hoping for a reply, and thanks alot! :laugh:

yep any cm10 kernel would work, however the fxp one does not have the best battery life or the best performance but it is the most stable
Hi!
I've got the HTC Sensation XE with the stock software (Android 4.0.3 and HTC Sense 3.6) but he's very slow!
So I've tried some taskmanagers and app killers but these doesn't help.
To make my phone faster I've got some questions:
1) Does it help to just root and install something to make it go faster? (so all my apps, files and settings stay)
2) Better to root the phone and install another Android version?
3.1) Cyanogenmod or something else?
3.2) Why?
3.3) And where can I find a tutorial to install this for my phone?
4.1) What are the pros and cons of Cyanogenmod (or another one) vs the default?
4.2) And what are the pros and cons of rooting/installing another Android version in general?
4.3) Is there some noob/beginners article on this?
4.4) Can I still use Google Play?
5.1) If I install another version I've to reset my phone?
5.2) I'd like to stick with my apps, files and settings. Is this possible?
6) If question 5.2 isn't possible, not a very big deal; I can re-install apps, reset settings and backup and restore my files (photos and contacts). But there's only one app I don't know how to backup: Smurf Village (for my girlfriend). She'll kill me if I lose the save game. Does somebody know how I can backup and restore that game?
7) Does a custom Android version auto update? So I don't have to update my phone manual time by time?
If you answer please explain why or just give me a link where I can find a good answer.
I've searched a lot but there's so much information about this! But not specific for the Sensation XE. Again, I'm happy with some good links to!
Kind regards,
Roy
P.S. I'm from the Netherlands, so I prefer a Dutch version!

1) Does it help to just root and install something to make it go faster? (so all my apps, files and settings stay)
2) Better to root the phone and install another Android version?
3.1) Cyanogenmod or something else?
3.2) Why?
3.3) And where can I find a tutorial to install this for my phone?
4.1) What are the pros and cons of Cyanogenmod (or another one) vs the default?
4.2) And what are the pros and cons of rooting/installing another Android version in general?
4.3) Is there some noob/beginners article on this?
4.4) Can I still use Google Play?
5.1) If I install another version I've to reset my phone?
5.2) I'd like to stick with my apps, files and settings. Is this possible?
6) If question 5.2 isn't possible, not a very big deal; I can re-install apps, reset settings and backup and restore my files (photos and contacts). But there's only one app I don't know how to backup: Smurf Village (for my girlfriend). She'll kill me if I lose the save game. Does somebody know how I can backup and restore that game?
7) Does a custom Android version auto update? So I don't have to update my phone manual time by time?
If you answer please explain why or just give me a link where I can find a good answer.
I've searched a lot but there's so much information about this! But not specific for the Sensation XE. Again, I'm happy with some good links to!
Kind regards,
Roy
P.S. I'm from the Netherlands, so I prefer a Dutch version!

Wow. Lots of questions! i shall try to help you out
1. Yes and no, it depends what you install. A custom kernel can make it go faster.
2. This depends on your preference of style. If you love htc sense (stock htc look) then stick with a custom sense rom. It will stay on ics. If you like the look of Cyanogenmod then jump up to jellybean 4.1.2
3.again matter of preference.
3.2 Cyanogenmod is a "vanilla" version of android. Its almost pure stock but with there own custom code added to it for tweaks and settings and speed and many other things. Cyanogenmod is the largest custom rom and also one of the longest running. It covers a very wide range of devices and many many custom roms and based on its source code
3.3 check the q&a or any cyanogenmod thread.
4.1 Cyanogenmod is faster, comes prerooted and has a massive amount of custom stuff available. It is what many custom roms are based on and you can get it on most devices these days
Official or not htc sense is arguably prettier than Cyanogenmod but it has a lot of bloatware. Also sense its self is quite resource hungry. But with custom sense roms you will still get a nice fast experience.
4.2 rooting allows you access over the read write functions of the phone. It means you can write to the system partition and as such change almost anything on the phone. Once you have rooted it means any app wanting to have root (superuser permission) will have to ask superuser first. Cons are some carriers don't like it when you root. When changing android version you get the benefits and downfalls of that new update. Like if you upgrade to jellybean you get the advantage of project butter (Google is your friend) but with 4.2.1 we got ****ty Bluetooth drivers. But generally updates are good
4.3 Google and xda are your friend
4.4 of course if you want to with Cyanogenmod roms then flash gapps.
5.1 yes
5.2 apps can be reinstalled and settings redone. But you will have to do it manually pal. They will be wiped when you change rom.
6. You could attempt to use adb to pull the data/data/appname folder. But I would ask around before you do anything as I am not sure.
7. Lots of custom roms do push ota updates now. Just check the roms thread.
Hope this clears things up a bit

Cyanogenmod is not a kernel, cyanogenmod is an open source aosp built version of the android system they have there own kernels though It will be installed when you install the rom. as a rule of thumb never install a sense kernel to a aosp rom and vise versa.

This guide is no longer relivant to your device as you undoubtedly have the updated hboot. This is what you need to remove the security from your new hboot once that is done i recommend using this guide to upgrade your firmware.This is to ensure rom compatibility once this is done install this recovery via fastboot. After that Simply follow the install instructions from the first posts of the rom thread i have linked above

Yes you can still use google play Gapps stands for Google Apps. What happend was a few years ago cyanogenmod issued there roms with gapps pre-installed and google issued them with a cease and desist order stating that only they, and agreed upon companies could distribute google apps. cyanogenmod stopped for a little bit as they considered their position. Eventually it came about that having gooogle apps as a flashable zip was the answer, as it was not directly distributed with cyanogenmod. from then on all aosp/aokp roms that i am aware of followed suit and started using gapps!

allowing the rom has support for the language yes (as far as i know most aosp roms will have support for most languages )
Many, many thanks again! Really!
The most is clear now, but before I start, another question:
Is it possible to make a full backup of everything, so when I don't like Cyanogenmod I can restore that and have everything back again? (including apps, settings, etc. Even my save game in the Smurf Village app?). Just created a full backup trough Droid Explorer, but I don't know if this is possible with that kind of backup.
Read a lot about this in the topics you provided*, but I want to make sure it will go smoothly, I use the right tool and it's possible as I subscribed above.
*in the upgrade firmware guide you provided, in the recovery guide and I found this in the "beginners guide".

It isn't going well..
Tried these steps a couple of times: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
But I get this error: "ADB out of date" with the temp_root tool but it looks like it's working, then I've used the ControlBear tool, here I get the same error and after waiting a while: "secondary backup failed", now my device doesn't work proper!
First a message that locations is crashed, and then sense is starting over and over again... and now system ui is crashed.. Can't work with my phone now! Tried to restart but everything keeps crashing...
Please help me!!
Should I restore a backup created trough Droid Explorer (I think it's the same as "adb backup")?
UPDATE
Replaced the adb files with newest ones from sdk and the "out of date" messages are gone! Just have run the "temp_root_remove" tool and now my device works as it has to be.
I'll give it another try now!

Thanks! Up and running! But... my contacts are gone, they where on my sim card.. When I choose import from simcard no contacts are found and I haven't backup-ed up my contacts specific. Can I go back and get them someway? (I've got a full backup made trough "adb backup" and a backup made trough the recovery)
UPDATE
I had lookout installed, after installing CM it asked to download all previous apps back, so I agreed. Lookout was installing too and has made some backups in the past so I've restored my contacts only and have them all backup again!
I'm curious about the save game for the "smurfs village" app. It's installed automatically, but haven't started it yet. What do you advise, start it before restoring or restore and then start?
UPDATE 2
Sadly lookout haven't backed-up my contacts the right way, so I've got names without phone numbers.. Any ideas how to get them back?
UPDATE 3
Still got no contacts
Meanwhile I've restored the backup for the "smurf village" app and got my save game back!
As those of you who own this Point of View (another chinese A 13 tablet) know, the stock 4.1 JB rom which the tablet
ships with is very slow (close to unusable if you ask me). I wonder what these chinese people actually did to the stock
rom to make it go so amazingly slow...
Here is a quick fix for those of you who would like to have a faster experience
This instructional assumes you have installed your USB drivers and have a copy of ADB.
1: BACKUP YOUR ROM (or you can find on the Point of View homepage)
2: Follow the instructions at A13 ROM JB 4.2.2 + DRIVERS and install FaaastJB v2.5 (4.2.2).
Once installed, and after first time boot, your touchscreen, camera and gsensor will NOT work. Leave the tablet on.
3: Download the attached file (TS drivers, modded script.bin and cfg files) or from this installation link.
4: Unzip the file to your ADB directory.
5. Connect your Point of View Mobii 703 via USB and execute the 'run.bat' that came with the TS modules.
6. Your tablet will reboot.
7. Congratulations! You have a fully working tablet with a much faster rom!
Working Stock P703 CWM for Faaastjb 2.5 ROM
The CWM that Faaastjb 2.5 ROM comes with is incompatible with the Point of View Mobii P703.
That is, if you reboot into recovery, you will be stuck in the dreaded CWM bootloop.
The attached file contains the CWM recovery partition image from the stock P703 JB 4.1 ROM.
This CWM works OK with the FaastJB 2.5 ROM. It does not contain as many functions as the
Faastjb CWM, but at least it works..
This instructions assumes you have installed your USB drivers and have a copy of ADB.
Instructions:
1. Your tablet must be in USB debug modus (Settings | Developer options).
2. Download and unzip the attached file to to your ADB directory.
3. Connect your Point of View Mobii 703 via USB and execute the 'run.bat' file that came with the files.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions. The recovery rom will be copied to your sdcard and flashed to the recovery nandg partition.
5. Your tablet will reboot.
If everything went well, you will have a working CWM, which makes running the Faastjb 2.5 ROM on this tablet a
more complete and safe experience.
Updated 02.01.2016. New download link added (fill in .com after megafileupload below for link to work, rules on the board..)
megafileupload/mzhY/Bluebyte9001_P703_stock_recovery.zip
first thanks for this rom but is it posible to install ics 4.0.4 on this tablet i think it would be faster if you can find img for ics and post it thanks
I have the CWM issue..
but seems the attached file you had is deleted? I need it!!
POV Mobii 703 with faaastjb and can't flash back to stock rom anymore because of clockwork issues
It seems that there is no way (with online files) to rooting a mobII p703 or are they?
My wife bought this for holidays, but the stock rom is arkward slowly. Changed the launcher with sicksky but it didnt help.
The baidu crap cant be deleted too. Thanks for any help.

I am sorry, but my 703 tablet is now broken (physically), so I have no way to develop more roms for this tablet.

I am not aware of any online way to root the Mobii p7903. Did you try to flash my ROM? It is faster than the stock ROM.

Hi, can you please update the links for TS drivers and CWM, or send the attached files to me?

basically you need to download all files and put them together in one folder Zip from samsung on beta 2 it's actually a onedrive link when you download the file it will be called ZVH4-TO-ZVHK.zip basically you need to right click on it and rename it to update.zip because the script it's designed to flash and update file only called update.zip i tried to make it easier this way so people don't need to mess with command line!
thanks for the beta 2 update
