Well, I'll get to the point soon. still modifying the post. but basically the gist of it is to check ALL of motorola's update servers for updates, not just the one that comes programmed into the device. If we're lucky and we find a hidden update, we may be able to get an unlocked bootloader (or other goodies?), which will allow us to use our device as we please (new kernels, better mods, etc)
Thanks for writing this up, I've been hesitant to try it since some of the paths/files in other posts did not exist on the Bionic.

Well, I was bold and basically just created the files. When I ran the *#*#4636#*#* test, I found that it did indeed change my could update server.
also the com.motorola.blur.setup was in /data/data/ and not the system/etc/motorola.
Thank you.

Thank you for this. The previous directions were based on the Atrix so there were a lot of files listed that I never saw so I felt unsafe just making them up and moving things around. I'll get on this sometime in the very near future.

Just so everyone can see it: the update label will always be for the build ID that the zip is supposed to be installed over. That means if you've got an update:
Blur_Version.1.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip --> This means the zip should be installed over devices running Build number "1."
Blur_Version.5.5.886.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip --> This means the zip should be installed over devices running Build number "5.5.886."
Was anyone ballsy enough to attempt to install the update? It doesn't have a bootloader inside, but it may still be dangerous.
P3 flashed it and it does absolutely contain a bootloader update.
The critical pieces are the mbm.bin, mbmloader_hs.bin and mbmloader_ns.bin.
HS and NS refer to Hardware Secure and Non Secure parts and both are included in these updates because both types of hardware are present in the test groups or whomever is the intended recipient of these files.
There is not an unlock, per se, but both secured and unsecured mbmloaders are present and the updater script has a check for the ro.secure status and loads the appropriate file for the target device.
The D3 update and assumedly this file as well cannot be reverted to stock release version, so this file must be regarded very carefully and assessed before any decision to flash or not is made.
There is a LOT more discussion we need to have about these files and OMAP SoCs I think regarding the differences between them and the Tegra II SoCs and fuse arrays!
Edit: This breaks the djrbliss root method using the tcmd exploit. We need to look further and discuss with him other possibilities for root. Reverting has not been established yet and may brick since we dont have a complete XML.zip.
WARNING!!!! This is a very dangerous file to flash at this stage!!! Please do not rush into testing it yet!!!
Thanks to those who got the file and thanks to P3Droid for guinea pigging.
Oh and I have to add that clarified cheescake is an oxymoron...you garnish cheesecake with wonderful things!

So I decided that I just couldn't sleep not knowing if the root patch had been fixed. So I decided to flash the update.zip. And what I expected to happen, happened, it zapped the local.prop exploit.
So here I sit on the new build unrooted and stock. I'm fairly certain that if I try to revert back to the OG build I will have a paper weight on my desk until a full xml fastboot file can be found. I would suggest you all wait and don't flash this yet.

I suppose I was looking for the wrong things. On other devices, "ap20bl.img" was responsible for bringing such goodies as an unlock capability.

This is a rooted ROM built from a properly signed, unreleased HTC Sense/Froyo OTA package. This MAY NOT be the final HTC/Verizon release of this build, so assume it is an early leak of an upcoming release until confirmed otherwise. The OTA does NOT contain a radio update, in case anyone was curious.
ROM Details:
Deodexed and zipaligned.
Includes all system components and full boot image.
Pre-rooted with Superuser 2.3.6.1.
Ramdisk modifications to disable ro.secure, enable adb on boot and support startup scripts in /system/etc/init.d.
Absolutely nothing removed.
Installation:
You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' guide for details on how to perform these steps.
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM, in case you change your mind or encounter issues.
Apply the zip via Clockwork Recovery. It has not been tested with any other recovery.
If you are coming from another completely stock ROM (i.e. Sense 2.1 or 2.2), you may not have to wipe data. I obviously recommend wiping data (since it will eliminate any possibly bad/stale configuration), but the update script will not do so automatically during installation. Use your best judgement to determine what works best for you.
Disclaimer
As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.

It's not the new Sense, unfortunately. It looks like an incremental update for Froyo, probably to address bugs.

See above. I'm suspecting it's a maintenance release. It's really going to be up to us in the community to figure out what has changed until we hear something official.
I'm done with the the necessary changes. Just testing now. Should not be much longer.
Cool. it will be interesting to see what updates / modifications have been included. Thanks for making this happen!
Would be nice if we could get the new sense by the end of the year

Welcome to the Motorola Olympus (Atrix 4G) Overclock Thread!
Well, I didn't know what to do today, so I've created something useful, an Overclock Module. However, this is incomplete and I need help for completing it.
More specifically, I don't know how to replace the already loaded table with the one written in this module. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it!
TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONES BRICKS.
Status: COMPLETE.
Download:
Compiled module: HERE (Min 200MHz Max 1.4GHz)
Module source: HERE (Outdated. It'll be updated when it'll be cleaned.)
What you need:
1. A brain
2. A ROOTED Atrix
3. Patience
4. PC and SDCARD.
How to load it:
1. Download the compiled module
2. Put it on the root of your sdcard
3. On your ROOTED device, run a terminal emulator and do exactly... this:
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/olympus_overclock.ko /data/
chmod 777 /data/olympus_overclock.ko
cd /data
insmod olympus_overclock.ko
4. Use SetCPU for your profiles
And let me clarify a thing: This isn't a kernel. This is a kernel module
Thanks to:
Skrilax_CZ - Without you, I would never had been completed the work.
iggytom & Bakano - Thanks for your kallsyms logs!
Stay Tuned!
=NOT TESTED....what do you expect...put here some modified kernel and want to us test withou any test made by you? lol
You kiring right?
Exciting but Ill wait till a few brave souls test it out first

I've ever done things that I wanted to do.
I'll receive my Atrix next week, so, for now, it isn't tested and it isn't even completed.
DEVS, I need some help. I've modified the struct and, well, sincerely, I don't know how to load it and replace it to the already loaded frequancy table.
I'm posting the source, being confident on other devs that can help me.
P.S.: The module isn't simply setting the maximum frequency for overclocking. Its concept is rewriting the frequency table for getting better scaling and even better battery life adding underclocking features in the future.
EDIT:
@EclipseX
I'm not posting a kernel. Atrix is locked. Read prior to write things.

if you had described you just said in your last post in the OP, people wouldn't have been quite as skeptical, it seemed as though you were posting saying you'd already completed (or nearly), but hadn't tested it, and were hoping that others were. That's all.
thanks for the clarification on what this is and what you intend to do
Well yes, I was thinking too much easy because I've done other things like this in the past but then I've discovered that this is different... so..

From the testers point of view before we even get to looking at this, which kernel did you design this for being we now have three currently out with the retail, the leaked feb version, and the OTA update. Pleas provide your how too asap before someone dose something wrong and burn out their device. That said I'm waiting till I see a proper OP before I look at this again, good luck.
Well the OTA's out of the question since it can't be rooted

It is a SOURCE.
A source can be compiled on every kernel you want if you've got the source for it.
Anyway, only the retail version source is out, so for now we can compile it only for the OLYFR_U4_1.2.6's kernel ...... when it gets completed.

Anyone with the OLYFR_U4_1.2.6 firmware installed can execute this command and upload to me the file?
Code:
cat /proc/kallsyms > /sdcard/kallsyms.log
This command creates a log of the kallsyms in the kallsyms.log file stored on your sdcard.

Very cool! Folks, if you're thinking of flashing this, you may want to consider reviewing the contents of the .zip before flashing, removing anything like recovery.img that could lock you out of the Rom Manager or RomRacer CWM you're familiar with.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, wait for someone else to come around and take a look first.
Happy Hacking and don't brick yourself!

While I was writing this, I see the trolls have descended upon the thread. If you're not technical enough to rip it apart and flash it, don't post.
It's a developer forum folks, nobody cares if you're anxiously awaiting everyone else to take the first try, we only care if you did and your results...
Damn, im so tempted..
I will review the contents of the zip, and report back.. Although I don't technically know what Im looking for besides a recovery image.
currently downloading some of those and taking a look inside them, everyone please go about this careful!
You're so freaking awesome man, here you come to the rescue again
checked out the one tittled ics_port_olympus_singed_test.zip, currently in the process of flashing it, will let you guys know whats up! the size seems legit

ROM > TurtleRom > TurTleRom beta5.zip is ro.modversion=CyanogenMod-7-12112011-NIGHTLY-Olympus Didn't bother looking further as this looks boring
MIUI > alpha2-miui-Snya.zip is CM7 based too, but looks like it's default locale is in korean. Definitely has MIUI apks, rooted with Dolphin Browser HD too and Titanium Backup.

You could be right regarding the location, apologies if people object - I just thought the ROM guys would probably be the ones most likely to be all over it.

FWIW - I found that droid-developers.org seemed a little hit and miss, so I've set up a private file mirror for this new release. If somebody wants access to it, then just PM me. I'm trying to sort out a public mirror too, and will update this post when/if I get that sorted out.

via remote url upload, usually doesn't take very long, quite a bit faster than uploading from my pc
This same version upgrade for XT926 HD appeared and was said to be a bugfix for the 4.1.2 OTA and that another more significant update would appear shortly for all devices but still remain 4.1.2 and would include Isis.
So we should expect to see a couple of OTAs pushed out on accelerated schedule that will match this XML file and the subsequent update.

So is the "more significant update" meant to be coming after this April 5th release?
Cheers,

It's safe for now...

Nice one - I'm currently 66% of the way through uploading to FileDropper (which I've never used before, but it was free, and didn't require sign up).

Yes, and I just flashed the boot, system and radio images from the MR2 XML and then rerooted using razr_blade.
So, we are safe to use this file to upgrade the firmware without any loss of root or any other issues.
The secure version did not increment so it is also possible to revert to the prior -18 release without risk of soft bricking.
This follows the pattern of the update for the HD and will likely be the same for the other devices that just recieved 4.1.2 in this cycle.
The next update is the one the will include ISIS and may also have security enhancements that will need to be carefully scrutinized.
That is conjecture on my part, at this stage, we don't know.
It would be nice to know what changes the release addresses. My hope is that it sorts out the hardware keyboard problem of unsticky shift keys in some applications.
Cheers,
Steve
Hi,

I'm sure the community here respects all of the work that you do. My post in the other thread was not intended to "get you in trouble". There are a set of rules that every user has to follow, regardless of their contributions to the community. That being said, when I was a newer member, I accidentally broke the rules a couple of times (nothing major) and didn't want the same to happen to someone else. (I never contacted @Divine_Madcat about your other thread, in case you were thinking I did.)

Yep i was tinking to that... so I'm also sorry. The thing is i spent a lot, lot of time on this port, and Divine_Madcat didn't even give me the time to update the first thread with the needed files/informations and ignore my pm which was an offense to me. Well i have to complies to the rules too but was a little chocked on how the thread got mad. Well, let's hope it won't be the same here. So that said i have no problem with you !

While i am sorry you are upset, it was not a slight at you at all. While i do try to keep an eye on XDA while at work, my job does come first and foremost, and i was unable to handle anything here yesterday (what can i say, 12 hour work days suck). As it was, i have literally nothing against you; to be frank, the report on the thread was the first i had even seen.
From my perspective, we had a placeholder thread, which is not allowed, so it was closed. I fully intended to reopen it, but gave my reasons above...
Anyway, i do wish you luck, and i really dont have any ill will to you...
So....
Do we have unlocked bootloader or a root exploit for amazon firmware 4.5.2 soon? And do you have plan to release another for Apollo?
Thanks

Nobody knows. But there are a few people working on "unlocks" (at least booting an unsigned kernel). Maybe also jcase releases his unlock (which I doubt because of legal issues).
Hi!
I have rooted Kindle Thor. How do I install this nice piece of software?
Like the Nexus rom? Currently I am on 3.2.7...
Thanks

You need to be on 4.5.2 and rooted.

Mmmmmhhh
Than this rom is basically usless
Who has a 4.5.2 Base and Rooted??? I would do it if I'll get the tools, no fear of a brick
Too bad. But Nevertheless Many thanks for the work and effort!

There are a few Users which do have an unlocked Bootloader, this Rom is only for these Users, as stated in the first Post.
I decided to make the rom available in case i loose interest in this device (or if i ever die soon). This way when (if) a root exploit is available then you'll be ready to use it.
Ok... So if there IS a possibility to unlock the actual fireos, please give some hints, instead of publishings Roms that one or two users can install, the rest is completely helpless...

Sharing hundreds of hours of work is helpless/useless for you ?
You know what ? I actually spent the whole day on porting cm-10 to current exploitable kernel for YOU :/
Everybody chill , @openWeb74, i see your point @Cpasjuste , first let me thank you for all your work, I'm pretty sure its a great Rom!
What openweb said was that maybe we should concentrate our efforts in unlocking the bootloader so even greater support can come.
Unfortunately we, the rest of us common mortals (with locked bootloaders) cannot use it.
As you said, this would work if somebody would release the bootloader-unlock , so lets play the waiting game...
The thing is I'm a common mortal like you :/ Like its said on first post, unfortunately, I do not have the tools nor the knowledge to reproduce the unlock, so I share what I can.
I really have to say sorry, if you dont know how to reproduce the hack... Mea culpa. It sounded like the hack is known, but cant be made public because of copyright issues or something like that... Then we have to wait. Nothing is secure when the right person gets a hdx... I have to say, that my actual hdx was rooted with towelroot, even easier than the nexus (less button combinations ) so i didnt expect amazon to be such a **** with newer firmwares.

Sorry for nagging you about it, but — genuinely asking — how did you do it on your device in the first place?
dear Cpasjuste, thanks for your great work, and how to install this Rom ? I am newbie, so..
OK... So you are a newbie in reading too?

I may eventually move to another tablet as I'm loosing interest in this device (because cm is working fine [emoji14]). Would someone be interested to get my device (not for free )?
