How people can help with custm roms? :highfive:
Please post your thoughts / Ideas! :fingers-crossed:
Lets get this ball rolling, it's gathered enough dust now and we need all the help we can get to get this rolling! :victory:
:silly:
There are already some posts about the unlocking of the bootloader, so you can read them carefully and see how is the state of the art.
And about the custom roms, I think Dexter just heard you and built one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085710
LG Open Source code if any use to anyone.

Yes looks tasty but no radio yet! We atleast need calls and data. But thats great work so far.
See no real reason not to have a fully working custom rom, as unlocked boot loader is not a must!
Several other devices have locked boot loader and have great working custom roms. : O)

Yeh, but custom kernel is the real deal IMHO.

as far as i have seen o4x has a pretty good and stable kernel so u dont need one unless u want to oc
and that could be achieved with modules as well if module loading is suported by the kernel...
I wan't everything what is possibile. What about some missing functionality let's say iptables? Some day LG will end support of the phone, what then?

Yes, I know, apparently LG found out, that I'm buying their phone so they decided to unlock bl. Still I don't trust them, so I advise to continue development rather than wait for them.
Is there an 4.4 KK bootloader available for the AT&T Atrix HD?
I doubt it as it would have been posted here if is was available: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534217

Ppl need to either be patient, or contact Moto, or use the KK ROMs designed for the JBBL
Sorry my english is not good.
I used MB886 Atrix HD.
I do not know what is appropriate rom for it? Distinguish how? Any help.
The MSM8960 device include?
msm8960dt including device?
MSM8960 kitkat?
MSM8960 jbbl?
On the forums I can not find any guidance about this problem?
Thanks.
Before flashing any custom ROMs, you need to root your phone, unlock the bootloader, and flash a custom recovery. After doing this, you can flash moto msm8960 ROMs for jbbl.

I can flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/atrix-hd/development/rom-crdroid-t2903010?
Only if it supports the Jellybean bootloader (jbbl). I am downloading the ROM now and I'll have a look at the updater script to see what it says.

I have a question you can answer me?
Its memory is too low "5.5GB".
How exchanged with external memory "sd-card1"?
The phone has 8 GB of internal memory but some of it is used by the ROM and apps. 5.5 looks right.

Stop being afraid and use the basics of ROM flashing. Just try it out, but make a backup of your current ROM before flashing that ROM.
Edit
did you read the last post in that ROM's thread? Someone posted about 7 hrs ago that it was NOT compatible with our JBBL, and that it requires the KKBL. you posted your last post on this thread about 6 hrs after this was reported. Why are we asking about this when we know that it will not work? Contact Motorola and request that they release the KKBL to us.

Root is almost available for the DT but BL unlock is not guaranteed yet so no one can say if DT owners (like myself) will even be able to flash anything. Good question though.

Likely not. You can't just "swap ROMS" between a CDMA device and a GSM device.

I helped a few people with unlocked turbos out in rooting theirs. I can confirm that the Moto Maxx TWRP does boot, but in the long run it'll need a few recoveryfs tweaks.

Were those turbos XT1250s? Because nothing has been shown about someone working on BL unlock for the DT (XT1254)......yet. but ofc the XT1250s are already unlocked but not the XT1254s which is the model I believe he was asking about.

They were XT1254s. They were all prototype models and came unlocked from the factory.

Probably not this simple, but if we get root maybe the bootloader from one of these prototypes can be copied to a turbo using a dd command. Then we would all have unlocked bootloaders

That would not work because it is not signed by moto. The ONLY things that matter are: 1) Signed vs unsigned packages and 2) bootloader exploits. Some BL exploits require root, most do now since they have gotten advanced. I miss the days of hardware level exploits and stuff. No more though. Root will likely be needed for a BL unlock and I would assume once root drops people will start working on one. Jcase has unlocked many motos and I would assume he will work on one when he has time (he is sick and very busy).
So root will not allow a BL unlock by itself. I am not even sure if this root exploit removes /system write protection. Some don't. We just have to wait and see.
I was busy last week, but if there will be BL unlock for Verizon Droid Turbo, then I'll make the CM12 / CM12.1 universal.

If you dump the package yourself I would imagine it would no longer have the same check sum no? Jcase has said this about many devices and then out of nowhere released exploits. I am not asking him to, I am just saying he enjoys doing this and is really, really good at it. I can see him collaborating with the root author to develop a proper exploit if it does not already exist. Either way, this root probably won't be released for another few weeks, if ever.

No, if you dump the bootloader yourself, it will be signed with the exact same certificates as when it was compiled. As a quick demonstration, take a device (not the Turbo) and download a custom kernel for it.
Check (and make note of) the MD5 checksum. Then install it.
Boot it once or twice, messing around with it. Then dump it (via
Code:
dd if="/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot" of="/sdcard/boot.img"
) and compare the MD5 of your dumped image to that of the one that had not yet been installed. Zero difference.

For me I was curious to see if this is like the treble ROMs that are out. There are AOSP TREBLE ROMs out that function quite well. One of the advantages is that we have a choice not use Google apps/services with the TREBLE ROMs. Just like the old days. Most of the custom roms out now are loaded with gapps.
There's even AOSP based ROMs with gapps in this section that have a lot more customations.
It's really about choice.
