Sorry i cant work on this anymore because i lost defy. Sorry guys
Hello guys,
first of all, i am no where near a developers level, but being somehow geeky at linux and android stuff, i am trying to port MiUi ROM for motorola milestone to motorola defy. I havent succeeded till now, but i will try my best to bring MiUi goodness to Defy phone users. I worked all night last night, trying to do different stuff every time hoping it works, but everytime i do anything, all i get is the big a$$ motorola logo. I need some developer's help on doing this.
The main problem has been motorola's locked bootloader, which does not let me flash updated zip files, unless i flash the original sbf, log into motoblur, root it, install recovery, boot into recovery and finally install. And trust me, i did all of that like 10-15 times last night. Even my phone must be pissed off at me right now cuz of that If there is an easier way,please, please please let me know.
I have tried everything from replacing apps, extracting boot.img, replacing framework files, installing directly, using kitchen for htc to automatically replace and almost eveything i could think of, and still no success. I really need help from someone who can debug kernels and sneak into bytecodes.
You are really welcome to help me if you think that you could help in any ways. Please shoot me an email at zed [at] wireshock.com (i will usually reply asap), or add me in gtalk admin [at] wireshock.com so that we can talk about it. Lets all hope that we can see miui in defy some day. Wish me luck
Edit: Here is the final thing i came up with, if anyone wants to examine, here is the link -> Click Here
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WILL NOT WORK! IT WILL NOT BOOT! THIS IS FOR DEV'S ONLY!
March 29
Update (9:40 AM): Another night without success. I am trying my best to make it work. Few people have contacted me about this, and some have helped a lot. Thanks to them. I contacted eugene_373 about this, lets hope he replies fast.
Update (11:48 AM): @KSubediTweet My Defy no longer works... So, not much help I can give. <- Eugene's defy doesnt work, need some devs who work for defy.
Update (5:54 PM): Me and Landroid from xda worked for almost the whole day trying to make it work. No success till now, but i think we are closer than before. If anyone finds a way to run recovery without booting somehow, please let me know, that will help a lot. And be sure to say thanks to Landroid for helping me out a lot.

Update (10:53 AM): Spent the last week trying to figure out a way to run recovery without booting which would help me save 80% time. Need some more Dev's help. I have tried contacting some chinese miui developers so that they could help me on porting the rom. Waiting for reply.
April 7
Update (8:35 PM): I think i finally found something that can help! Check this out -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026853
April 13
Update (8:14 PM): After few days of being idle, i am back to the track. Now as i have 2nd init, pre boot menu and everything i need to work, i will try as fast as i can. And racca pointed out some stuff i didnt know before, so i am kind of positive about getting it to work this time.
P.S. All times are MST (GMT -7)
I don't have much technological knowhow to add, but good luck and its great that someones finally making the effort, so don't give up!

Thanks, ill try my best.
Eugene made some adaptations on system recovery to apply update.zip. I don't know exactly how that works but maybe help you.
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995131
Thanks a lot for the link, if i can get the keyfile, i think i can make an update.zip for the recovery and can open clockworkmod from default recovery. Ill try it
Edit: or i can sign the zip file so that i can flash it from default recovery.
Dexter_nbl did the port of sense for us. In his rom he used a file on sdcard to boot on recovery. Like, if the file called recovery_mode exist on sdcard execute the script to boot up on recovery....this helped a lot!

That might have worked if the room booted at all, the problem here seems to be with some hardware driver that is preventing the phone from booting. Only if someone who knows what is preventing it from booting could help me out, i would work on fixing it somehow.
good to see a new project coming up.
got a bit quiet here in the past week, devs probably waiting for motos official froyo release.
anyways, kepp us updated on your progress and good luck!

That ideia is for you access your system recovery to restore your system without flash a sbf, get root, install system recovery (that take a long time). This way you can try more things. Dexter call the script to verify the file on sdcard in beginning of the process of boot, i dont know how but if you want see take a look the first version of his ROM.
i dont think you can sign the update packages. maybe you should try to ask eugene how this whole cookie cutter thing works

I have contacted miui developers to help me out. Waiting for reply now. Lets hope that we can bring miui to defy as soon as possible. Need help from some devs.
What do you mean go to recovery without booting? Without booting to Android you cannot use any other means to write to the Filesystem, so how would you do that? You can't replace the recovery that's installed with the phone, so I don't really see how that would be possible.
Recovery without booting is possible through charge-only-mode, but no one is capable to do it for Defy. And probably it is possible in Defy Sense ROM, if you read the thread. But I did not tried.
an option would be to look for an exploit in the recovery, that allows us to make something like open recovery on the milestone... i would ask the devs from openrecovery
There is the way using the second boot used on milestone (2nd-init) and the way used by Dexter in Sense ROM;
- included ClockWorkRecovery custom edition for this rom
• - Do NOT install the apk release, or it will ruin bootup of sense.
• - activate Recovery by putting an empty file in the root of your sdcard called "recovery_mode"
• content can be anything or empty, just make sure filename is correct.
• - reboot, and it will load into recovery.

we have pretty much everything except the stock recovery image. need someone to mod kernel for root so w can get stock recovery off an unmodified phone. I've tried but really don't know what I'm doing.

Hi Nanition:
As j3r3goss stated, Shabby needs someone to help out. We need an unrooted phone so that we can grab the original recovery that comes on the phone. If you have an unrooted exhilarate and can donate some time/effort, Shabby would be the best person to contact. You can reach him by going to http://webchat.irondust.net/?channels=hitsquad Just type in his name (Shabbypenguin) and if he's lurking he'll respond.
Shabby had someone volunteer, but he said it didn't work out (no details as to why or what happened).

Unfortunatly when I was rooting the phone something weird happened and nearly hard bricked it, but I am currently running Tmobile blaze 4g on it with no sound or calling. So hopefully sometime soon someone will be able to help Shabby get a stock tar figured out and ran.

Shabby has the system.img and boot.img from my phone. Contact him and see if he can explain how to get back to a stock image. Also, if he can't help, get w/ j3r3goss about this as he had the very same issue, but I think he got his back to running the way it's supposed to.
Hope that helps!

stock tar
Here's what I used to get the stock OS back, minus recovery of course. The tar contains the system and boot and can be pushed via Odin. For some reason when I had the radio files in the tar it would fail in Odin so I found a script to update those via CWM. I'm not sure what all needs to be done but since mine was extremely messed up I pushed the system tar via Odin then booted into CWM Recovery flashed the radio.zip then performed factory reset x3, format cache x3, format dalvik cache x3 and fixed permissions. It took a bit but booted just and I have had no issues.
You will need to perform a touch key fw update after you boot recovery, but everything else appears to be fully functional. We still need to get some assistance in getting the boot.img rooted so that we can get a dump of the stock recovery.img.
Hope this helps.
Obviously these are to be used at your own risk.

I am about to start working on a custom System ROM for this phone. What Apps should be included, what apps should be removed (AT&T crapware of course - but what else)?
I want to make a basic one with just a few key apps, and a more advance one for the ultimate tweaker/hacker.
All suggestions (but please be polite) are welcome!
We also still don't have the original restore.img - so if you want to help w/ that, let me know, I may have an angle that we can get it with.

Right now the biggest things for me are bloat and launcher. Everything AT&T needs to go. Is there a way to seperate Google apps or do they pretty much install together? Ther are way to many Google apps that I don't use or ever care to use. Not a big fan of the TW so I'm using ADW, but that can be easily changed by the user. One thing I have been trying to find is support for volume rocker music controls. I use this thing for for music all the time and hate having to skip tracks from the screen.

j3r3: The Google apps can all be installed separately AFAIK. What's TW? I'm familiar with ADW so I assume it's a launcher?
I think there is an app that does the vol control switch, but I don't know what it is off the top of my head.

I take absolutely no credit for this, I merely tried it and it does infact work for our phone as well. I was at 42 BTW.

Hey bud. Does shabby need som1 to send him a phone? I got one of these phones. Stock of course. I'd like to root it. I'm hip to flashing. I've got the note running flapjaxxx rom. Samsung s2 running blu kuban. So anyhow. What does he need?
I don't know what's going on with Shabby. As far as I know there are some people trying to get ahold of him to test his rooted kernel and he's not responding nor has he posted his rooted kernel.

I don't know if Shabby needs a phone or not. I personally, haven't heard from Shabby since a couple of weeks ago.
You can always go to his site and PM him and make the offer.
I was actually hoping my wife would buy one of these, and I was going to try to grab the stock restore, but she opted for a Galaxy S II SkyRocket instead (larger screen, more memory, thinner, etc. - but she did like that my phone is smaller (edge-to-edge)).
Anyway, we're pretty much stuck at the moment. We don't have the original restore, and we can't seem to get it.
I think I know what needs to be done, but I'd have to consult w/ Shabby and j3r3. If you're willing to try yourself, you need to get the rooted ROM, and get it installed on your phone. Then, as I understand it, you need to adb the phone and dd a restore.img. Once we have that, we can then install custom ROMs and revert back to stock if needed.
Other than that, we have full root, and I have been able to uninstall AT&T crapware, Samsung Crapware, and also most of the other system stuff that isn't needed/wanted.
The next step is, as I find time, to create a minimal ROM that has only what is necessary for the phone to function. There will be a couple of other apps (to verify root, and allow you access to all files and system settings), but other than that - that'll be it.
Let me know if you think you'd be willing to be a guinea pig on this - and you should let j3r3 and shabby know as well (if shabby is still interested).

GHORR: Here's the deal: As of right now, there is no way to unlock your phone for use with other carriers unless you can convince AT&T to send you the unlock code. To do that (I know this from experience), you'll need to be able to explain why you want it unlocked to them. Read this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812976
I know that doesn't help. However, you can also do a search for "SIM Unlock" - there are some phones that have had their system files hacked and you might be able to unlock it that way. Note, I am in no way responsible for anything that happens to your phone. This is at your own risk.
Good luck

Thanks for replying - but I thought that by flashing the ROM it removes the lock, did I get it wrong?
I decided today to read a few guides and watch some videos on how to root my HTC One M8 w/ Harman audio. So I successfully rooted it, and installed Carbon Rom. At first things went well, and to make a long story short, I would REALLY like to revert back to my original firmware. All bloatware included, I dont care. I really have no idea what I'm doing with any of this, and the internet keeps bringing me here to find solutions so I figured I would post my question. Currently I'm downloading an RUU with hopes that it will magically fix everything (file name: RUU_M8_WHL_K444_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_Harman_3.30.654.2_R_Radio_1.08.20.0916_NV_SPCS_1.52_003_release_395175_signed_2 (1).exe)
If anyone could please just give me some sort of direction on reverting back to the normal firmware, I would be IMMENSELY appreciative.
Tried running RUU. Made it worse. Now it's stuck at the carbon boot splash. Cant even take out the battery. I have no idea what to do now, goodnight.
You might start by checking this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
There are instructions on how to get into recovery and download the stock firmware, based on the results returned from running certain fastboot commands.
Please keep in mind that I don't have the M8, nor have I tried the steps mentioned, so this is entirely at your own risk.
Good luck!

This rom is a stock rom and is almost 100% stock but it comes without dm-verity to avoid boot problems in case you want to preserve your custom recovery.
This rom is meant to be used in case of emergency, give a fresh start to your device, restore your device in case of corruption or just to play around.
I have tested this rom on my own device and everything is working properly.
Please check the specifications at the end of this op.
Requisites:
New assert-fixed twrp version forked from messi's twrp
Note: All the credit for twrp goes to @messi2050, this is just an assert revision of the current twrp made from messi. It will be deleted as soon as we get an updated version with the right assert tags.
Installation steps
Download the new assert-twrp version and flash it as you would normally do it.
Standard Wipe (factory reset) and Format Data are optional (unless you have a non-stock based rom installed already). If you want a full fresh start you should format data, reboot into recovery again and do an standard wipe x3.
Install the rom.

I usually don't take screenshots on my stock roms, basicly because there is nothing new/fancy to show. It is stock and it'll look the same as when you buyed your phone, with the same default wallpaper and apps...
I take screenshots in my slim versions (wich I will start soon).

You mean that you power off your device and the use the Volume Key and Power hit yes twice, right???
If that is the case you could try flashing DM-Verity or SuperSu again to avoid that little bootloop. Or you can just stick (like me) to do and ADB REBOOT RECOVERY.
Please notice that I never mentioned that the bug-fixed twrp was intended for this bootloop/reset issue, it just correct some asserts problems that block our devices from installing this rom and any other room with the right and original asserts.

Question 1: There is not at the moment, I will start with Leaneage OS after doing my slim version. I don't know how many time it will take as this is my second device and I am just playing around with it (my V20 give me more pleasure).
Question 2: Stock means Stock... Nothing new nor fancy, same setup, apps, etc.... I mention on the OP what this rom porpuse is.
Hotspot issue: not all the time depends on a custom rom, this is my first device with metropcs service, I don't know if they sync your hotspot usage with their servers. If they do you are not going to be able to bypass that. Any ways my slim version it would get rid of plenty of bloatware and it may work if they depend on the main app on the device.

The hotspot will be monitored regardless of if you're using a stock room or custom. The only difference being that on a custom rom, you won't receive a notification stating you went over 8 gigs. Once you hit the 8 gig limit, your hotspot speed will be slowed down.
Also, when you go over your 8 gigs of high-speed hotspot it won't reset at the beginning of your pay period, but exactly a month (to the day) after you went over.
So say your pay period is the 5th and you go over your limit on the 4th. You'd have to wait until the 4th of the following month before you get high speed back.

I was just about to ask if your slim rom would be a debloat, but now I know. So good look there.
Also, if and when you get down on lineage. I'll be more than happy to test, I had been working on it myself before I blew up my hard drive. So I'd rather help then be a sponge.
Im also willing to test.
Ufffff...
Ok guys... After several days testing / building the slim version I am getting really frustated and dissapointed...
Everytime something goes wrong there is no way to boot into recovery mode using hard keys, that only makes twrp wipe and reboot but not entering on the complete twrp options. So everytime that I flash the test .zip of the slim version and I get an error before actually booting completely into the normal system I have to go to Mocosoft (windows) and use LGUP to flash the .kdz and start from scratch all over.
I hate to have to reboot my laptop and use Mocosoft, I really hate not been able to reboot in recovery mode as in other LG devices with the hardkeys.
I guess is another limitation of the actuall twrp version that we have, maybe we will have to wait for an updated twrp version to avoid all this trauma.
Right now I feel like I'm done with this device, I have used LGUP around 15 times in 3-5 days just because I can no go into twrp.
If this is happening with a stock based slim version I don't want to think about building/testing lineageos.
If you know an option to go to twrp version after a corrupted/incomplete system tell me about please. I have used the followings procedure but not success:
1.- Hardkeys (just makes twrp wipe the system).
2.- Fastboot boot twrp.img (command fails).
3.- Flashing original twrp (from messi) and then the flashing back the bug-fixed twrp (forked from messi) and trying to reproduce the first boot taking out the battery and using hardkeys (no luck, still wipes the system and reboot by it self).
Sorry guys, I think I will stop for a few days... Maybe I need to go out and have a little fun and come back...

Actually yes...
@messi2050 already builded an updated twrp version avoiding problems with the Hardkeys...
So now I can continue with the test and after that with Lineage if no body build it first... :laugh:

I hope you can success with lineage 14.1, i wasn't able to make it boot on the stylo 2 plus since ms210 and ms550 are almost the same if you managed to boot it then I'm sure it will work on the stylo too, good luck.
I know it's really late, but I was just gonna say build a version of your rom with the flags for Messi's twrp and just use that to flash.
Either way, I'm glad you managed to sort the shiz out and I'm wishing you the best of luck with development.

???
I don't get it?
You mean the asserts right?
I haven't test the new twrp version of messi (no free time), so you are telling me that the new version still have the wrong flags?
I usually don't remove the CORRECT flags from my roms (a Tmo user could flash the metropcs and cause a brick/softbrick for example) to avoid user's mistakes/misread...

The new version has the correct flags. I never said it didn't.
I'm saying that a twrp can be created with unified flags allowing a room to be shared between devices without having to build between the lv3 and the aristo. Sorta like what had been done with the LG Leon a couple years ago.
Instead of using the h or Ms flags relating to model number, you can use the consistent board config as the basis.
Either way, the only way someone could brick or soft brick from this method is if it were like the S4 situation where you have to flash the carrier specific kernel version for the device. Like using the At&t rom on the Verizon s4 will cause a soft brick until you flash the Verizon s4 kernel.
This is only just an idea in response to you having to go back and forth (before you got the updated twrp) on recovery versions during your tests
OP updated to link and point to the new and updated twrp version from messi.
You guys no longer need the bug-fixed twrp version as before.

Can you do me a solid, sorry if I'm turning into an annoyance. Add "lg aristo" into either the thread tags or into the thread name itself. It'll add the thread into the Aristo board for easier access and make this easier to find. I recommended your rom to another user who had no idea what I was even talking about. (So I shared the link if you don't mind me doing so)
I have bled my heart out trying to make a ROM with SUPER R kitchen. Boot loop every time. I used stock MM tar. I want DeOdex/ZipAlign/Init.d support/deKNOX/SEpermissive. I'll debloat and Su/xposed on my own. I just for the life of me can not get a zip from Super R Kitchen to boot. Or even if no1 could make 1, but point me in the right direction, ID give hella thanks.
N915G
PS. My phone was purchased unlocked, so that's not the issue. Using TWRP 3.1.0 built for this model.
Here is my attempt at making my desired rom in zip format. It is not sogned (not enough ram). Its raw.img format. Doesnt include /data.
https://www.mediafire.com/download/aj33z92u189jvxp
Built with Super R Kitchen. All I got was bootloop no matter my set up, free linux version on Ubuntu.
Also, could i just turn off secure boot (dm-verity) via my build prop?
Is there a way to turn off knox without cooking a rom? I think i know how to get init.d activate via terminal .zip, seems to work for this phone. The test shows up in data but universal init.d apk still says my kernel doesnt support init.d.
Also could you change to SEpermissive using stock kernel?
If there is anyone, say something lol.
Here r screenshots of my phone info. Also will have link for stock .tar up in a few via Google Drive.
Stock Image (.tar format)

Edit: This is the wrong stock image for my phone, maybe thats where my issues came from lol ill have new stock image in new thread once i have a wotking rom lol.
I tried to use a stockish rom made by someone else but it would bootloop, inless youbused like mickey kernel or emotion kernel, and i lost my screen off edge detection when i used it last. So i was trying to make my own. Ill end up buying super R kitchen for windows see if it does any better on a note edge MM Rom. If there any other suggestions im open to them. Thanks

Edit: there will be a delay, i got a working rom to intall after cooking it, but low and behold i got the infamous contacts has stopped error. Recooking today.
Update: will have a a working rom up(2 versions, 1 debloat stock, 1 is what i run to the t).
Full details and a link to the new post will be linked with this post.
Ended up using a different kitchen/twrp.
Update: as of this morning I hard bricked my Note Edge, so until I can get the bootloader fixed, fingers crossed, this is on hold. I'm running a ZTE Zmax Pro ATM so...

I have a working ROM for N915G, it's not DeOdex, but has Su,BB,Xposed,Init.d,su.d,sqlite,Multi-user,Dark UI mod, and Debloat(I'll upload debloat file so you can see what I took out)
