I want to thank everyone in the community. Awesome work everyone. I am a long time Android fan. I started with a G1, MT3G, Cliq, moment, and now my hero. I thing that I am among the only one when I had and rooted the cliq but I liked the interface. I guess my question is one, would anyone else want a cliq rom? Two, is it possible to take Motoblur from a GSM rom and port it to CDMA? Third, Would there be any volunteers to try if the other two questions are yes?
I do not have linux and it has been a while since I have used it. I am more then willing to help in anyway I can if this starts to become a reality.
Thanks again to all the DEV's you guys are what makes Android, Android.
I'd love to try it out if anyone could manage this. Sounds like it would be quite an undertaking.
I'm working on this now. It boots, but blur and pretty much everything else force closes. Once I get a stable booting ROM without force closes I'll post it up. I'm real busy right now, but I will be able to work on it in the next few days, so hopefully I can get something goin. This doesn't mean no one else should try, by all means do, incase something happens with mine

Run the logcat for us, or PM me a download link. I'd like to help debug in any way I can.

Leukay, send me what you have. I have some time this weekend free. I want to take a look at what you have...of course that is if you don't mind.

Thanks for the offers guys, I appreciate it. I'm very much a noob at this whole cookin' thing, but I'm working hard. I'll post up a logcat and give you guys a download link that wanna help out. It won't be for a couple of more days though (dealing with some problems with my hard drive ) but I will get them to you guys as soon as possible. Thanks again!

Anything new with this?
Just an FYI I've got a system bump of the backFlip - yeah I know stupid base. But it was easier to find than the Cliq dump. I am purely interested to see if I can even do it. Once I get something bootable I will post it....assuming I actually get something bootable.
The server that I am downloading from IS SOOOOO SLOW - 22 k on a 66 mb file....CRAP!!!!!! My battery may go dead before its done!
i'd love to try a blur rom... willing to donate to the cause... I'd also like to learn how to do some of this stuff... how would i get started?
^^^^^ same here. Im gonna search the thread and google but thought that I would ask here as well, but how can a noob with zero experience with this stuff learn to do this stuff. I want to make apps for android and other platforms.

Read, Read, Read...if you want to develop, its not difficult if you have programming background. If not, ehhh good luck writing a program. Given Java is pretty easy to learn, just not a language I would want to start with. If you are absolutely new to programming go get a c++ book, then work out to other languages.
If any one cares I get to a boot screen - But I am missing copybit.heroc.so and am getting a JavaSetAlarmRequest error in logcat any Ideas? I can probably fix the copybit thing with putting the file in place, the java alarm baffles me.

Thanks for the info. I am 100% new to programing so we'll see what happens lol.
I would love to help in any way I can. I am not a dev by no means but I can try to help any way you need me to.
Hey guys, to those who are currently working on this. I am going to pass along some advice that Toast gave to me when I started working on this. Take the rom you want to port, open up the boot.img, and drop our kernel into the boot.img. Rebuild the boot.img, and resign the rom, and it might be bootable (hopefully anyways). That would give you a start, then you can go through and work out the bugs

Man, I would LOVE for it to be this simple! Lol but I can't find a boot.img for cliq or backflop any where! I am working with a bare Rom and trying to throw in bits and pieces of moto frameworks and jars and apks. Made progress to a homescreen but its unusable with fcs.
wouldn't you be running into a problem with the any system apks from blur that have optimized dex? The classes.dex is removed from the apk so how can you generate a dex to run on the hero?

Yeah lol, I agree, that's where I was getting, home screen, everything FC's. Ugh. I've had to abandon working on it due to school and other useless stuff like that....lol. But good luck man. There is a G1 Blur port rom called S_Blur. Download that, and try to work with that. It comes with a boot.img, so rip it (and ours) open, drop the kernel in, and see what happens
just thought of something... would we be able to sign in to the motoblue account? you have to have motoblur and gmail for this....
Ok so. I have been trying forever to get our kernel into the Blur boot.img.
I can unpack it, but I can't repack it. It keeps telling me that my ramdisk file doesn't exist! I CAN SEE IT ITS RIGHT THERE! I am running from a liveCD so that may be the issue.
Could someone please take the boot.img-kernel from the files attached and drop it into the BlurBoot.img for me?
I have posted our boot.img and the Blur boot.img in the attached ZIP.
On a side note, there is a pretty easy to follow tutorial on doing this
Here for those of you who don't have any clue what is being talked about and want to learn.
Anytime I try to do anything CPIO from this live CD (Ubuntu 9.1) it freaks out on me. Soooo maybe time to do an actual install and get this stuff setup like it needs to be.
So we have confirmation that superoneclick and aroot doesn't work on the new atrix update. If any dev will work on this please use this thread.
EDIT: Please don't comment on this thread anymore. Go to Ririal's v2 root method
I just updated and it does seem smoother to me. Might just stick with it.
please everyone, this thread is for getting root on the update. if you want to comment on the update itself, use my thread on the general forum

Maybe this is your first piece of electronics, but it's completely expected that everytime a software update for a piece of hardware is released, exploits are closed. Apple does it, Sony does it, Microsoft does, HTC does it, Motorola does it, Nokia does it...The list goes on.
This WAS EXPECTED. I always found it entertaining how whenever an update was released for my EVO the forum here on XDA would get absolutely flooded with people saying how they lost root NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THEY WERE WARNED! It could take 5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 days, 5 weeks, 5 years, or eternity for root to be regained after an update. There's no way to know.
any way of installing 3rd party non-market apps, like amazon appstore?

Pretty sure that's why he made the thread - we're being patient, just looking for someone to work on this fix. I'm ashamed I even posted on this comment, but if you're not going going to help fix it, you shouldn't be either....
Hey everyone, if you want to sideload apps just use the ADB INSTALL method it works for me.
I still have my root after update
Hello,
I just ran the update, it shows in the system version as 4.1.57 yet I still have my superuser permissions and can tether without adding to my plan. Not sure how or why, but it happened.

I would be helping fix it if I had the update. I'm still waiting for the notification, but thanks The OP is just forum clutter, and it's pretty rude to be making these requests minutes after the update is even pushed, and a BETA update, at that. That was my point.
Where are you guys located, getting the update already. I just checked and it said mine is up to date and I still have 4.1.26. Wierd!
Does any one know how to get the message to stop showing up I don't want to loose root and I don't want to be reminded every hour

Did you flash back to stock before the update or did you do the update on a rooted/gingerblured phone? Do you know if you were using 1.2.6 or 1.5.2? Have you tried running su in a terminal to make sure root actually works?
Was worried bout flashing without stock software already installed think ill go back to stock anyway to try it the official way first.. Can always go back and upgrade after rooted though if this works consistently.
The security hole that allowed for root on the phone is CLOSED in this update. There is no way of rooting your phone after this, save going back to one of the available SBFs. Confirmed by designgears as well.
As someone said earlier, "for now" the root method is disabled, and there is no way of rooting your phone after the update "at this moment".
I have confidence everything will be OK.
Boy am I glad I decided to stay away from this "update." I got accepted but when I go to check for updates it says I need a social networking account setup. When I then hit setup nothing happens so I said forget it lol.
Here"s an OTA update that keep popping up on my phone. Don't know if it might be of any use for anyone but here it is for download. Link below
OTA_A11_CHL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.48.652.2-1.42.652.1_release_42872725v7v2rkk8aovrs8.zip
Where's proof this is legit?
Yeah I kept getting this today too in Miami Florida. I just hit Do Not Install and it hasnt bothered me since
I'm in Arkansas and I haven't gotten anything

From what I can tell that OTA seems legit. Some people were getting this update at least as far back as April 10, as you can tell from this thread. I received it around April 14. You can use it if you want to, or you can just go to http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html to get the full RUU. I'm sure some just haven't received it yet. I think they roll out updates to certain locations at different times.
Well I got my phone this month from Wal-Mart & when I turned it on it updated itself
me personally, was not able to update. I kept getting update failed, must be cause I don't have the stock kernel.
I apologize for not having any proof to make it legit, it's the first time I uploaded a file on here. Thanks Blaqueknight for having my back on that.

It will pop up again in a couple days. While it's gone use Titanium Backup and freeze Updater.apk and you won't see it again unless you thaw it.

Hey man it's ok I just didn't want anyone using this and it screw their phones up.
That's exactly what I did but it took me a few minutes to figure out it was simply named updater.apk, thanks for looking out.
Might sound silly but one of my favorite Android games (Jet Set Radio) was never updated to run on lollipop. Sega has instead just pulled the app from the market. The game starts to load but soon crashes. Without knowing anything about development i have a feeling the problem is probably not a serious one and a talented developer maybe able to get the .apk working again

sure, if Sega publicly puts up its source for the game. otherwise, no developer will ever touch it.

That. ^^^
Also, just don't. Don't start bounties, don't create pressure on a developer to do anything. If you want to see what is what, send them an email offering to pay them directly.
Also, if the program/game was popular and they pulled it, then it was probably more than trivial changes needed to make it work again.

Sega is just a terrible Mobile company. They recently pulled many titles some of which still work even without updates on lolipop.
I heard the Company as a whole is focusing more on mobile but with moves like this how? Unless they will rely on the strength of a few key titles (like SonicRush) and say screw the rest

Seems to be a little bit harsh. Not sure why you think that they would keep dumping resources into software that is EOL.

End of life? Some games they pulled were only released for mobile in the last 12-18 months. Unless this was a quick cash in deal on a few high profile games. Make a quick buck and than abandon the title when it comes time to needing an update

They pulled it from the app store for incompatibility issues. I followed a link saying "get it from play before it disappears" and I was able to install it.

Im looking for a guy whos willing to do a nv dump for me and upload it for me..i want to try compare it to a locked phone and see if i can find the difference..
Right now I have one that's "locked" but since I had the 30 day Temp Unlock (Expired 3 days ago) I seem to be able to still use it with my STalk (At&t) SIM. If you want me to do it for you anyway I will, or I will have it officially unlocked by TMob in about 5 more days and I can do it for you then if someone else hasn't already.
If you want me to do it for you, point me to directions to getting a NV dump and I will do it ASAP.

Do you want me to do one now then another, once it gets Unlocked, that way too you can see what's different, if anything on the same device?
