with the source for the droid 3 being released, this shouldnt be terribly difficult should it? ive gotten as far as setting up my environment and github but am still not sure how to set up the code and fork? the code and build i guess. does anyone have a n00bish guide or maybe want to team up?
I didn't think this was possible yet...

I meant to edit my op but got busy
An overwrite of the stock recovery isn't possible with the locked bootloader, but with bootsrrap it should be possible to at least access clockwork
Im a n00b but im fairly certain with root now we can def get clockwork with the right code

Making a working bootstrap is the hard part
If my theory is right, it shouldn't be terribly difficult...it should just be piecing the bits of code together, like a drop and fill.
Unless new code has to be written, in which case im at a loss

No, it's not much harder than making a working recovery. If we know where the partition addresses are, it's easier than making the recovery. There are several great bootstrap authors out there, and if we could give them a good CWM Recovery for the D3, they could incorporate it into their flashers with little additional trouble.

Tenfar's recovery sucks, believe me, and his first language is not English. The person/people to ask is romracer, since he's forked the best parts of official Koush recovery and Tenfar.
However, long story short, we may be stuck for a while in the same hell the DX, D2, DX2 are: rooted Android, locked bootloaders.

Locked bootloaders suck, but atleast if we could get bootstrap, and recovery....we will have so many options!
guys,
i am still learning the android architecture, so i don't know what i am talking about
the devs over in xperia x10 mini pro, have successfully ported CWM (and before it xrecovery, and right now we have dual recovery, meaning we can use xrec and cwm both), eventhough the bootloader of it has not been cracked!!
will it help to ask them what they did?
I wrote tenfar an email asking about porting his app. It was clear his first language was not english, but hfrom what I understand he is looking for a loaner device before he commits to doing it.
I guess I thought it would be easy with root and source but clearly im mistaken. I stand by what I said, id love to team up with someone and figure it out as much as id love to donate to whomever can do it whichever happens im sure the community would be greatful
Yep i'll donate for clockwork no troubles to speed up the process, i think we can afford one more phone 8)

Has anyone who has a spare D3 or maybe got a spare from the buy one get one free tried contacting koush to see if you could send it to him so he can get us a bootstrap for this thing?

I don't think anyone would b willing to give up their d3, besides koush says there might be a chance it would be bricked. If we had an sbf to unbrick I bet people would agree to this.

Hi Developers and guys.
I have seen bootmanager android from which we can flash up to 5 custom roms on our sd card without touching our phone actual rom,
i have mailed the developers of bootmanager to include our 2X in there supported device, but got a reply from them " The lg phone doesnt give us access to the parts of the phone we need to edit to make the app work ",
i think they want to unlock the boot loader, but they not get any success in it,
so my question is to the great developers and programmers can we make a similar app for our lovely 2X, or can we unlock the boot loader for them....
Wrong section sir, you should post it to Q&A threads.

I know but if i posted it in Q&A threads no one will reply to it, my concern is to ask developers to make a similar app for our phone so we can also have dual boot phone, while having custom GB 2.3 we can test and try ICS with out flashing directly to our phone, as u know ics is still buggy and with out H/W acceleration.
Im sure that they are having issues in bootloader to search and boot the rom from sd card, i think rusty the maker of cwm may help us in this...
Maker of CWM? That's Koush not me. Nothing I can do I'm afraid.

Whilst it's a nice idea, I've never really understood the need for dual (or more) boot on a phone, a nandroid takes about 3minutes to restore?

Its not a thing as i also know that after playing with roms i can restore nandroid, but actually what im trying to say is that if we can dualboot our phone then we can have stable and daily use rom in our phone, and we flash any nighty or beta builds on our sd card with out disturbing our actual stable rom, just reboot your phone to go in to the stable daily use rom.

As already mentioned in this thread, you can message them back and tell them that there are no restrictions whatsoever. The bootloader is unlocked, hell you can even change partition sizes with NVFlash.

That's a) not true and b) no reason. dev section doesn't mean that everything development related goes in here but that this is for posts from developers who have created "it". Thus I asked a mod to move the thread to the right section.
By the way: With Rusty and me two RCs are regularly reading the Q&A section, and lots of other really capable people are as well.
Regarding the dual boot: Several people had tried it but it didn't work (yet).
Modding the bootloader and including a bootmenu is probably pretty tricky and time consuming.
I don't really see a reason for dual boot anyways, you cannt use the same data folder on combinations like Stock/CM9. The amount of time to make dualboot happen on the 2x is better spent on other things, in my opinion.
Unlocked and rooted, S-on still. Was tweaking my stock Sense ICS ROM, Got it to were I kinda wanted it.. Installed some new fonts, It performed a back-up, Then while "installing" the fonts.. The system became buggy, laggy and eventually frooze so I turned it off.. Now it gets to the AT&T screen and freezes. I've tried "Factory Reset" with no luck at all. What can I do to fix this?
I want a new custom ROM, But without S-off it's kinda tricky. Is there a tutorial anywhere I could use? I was thinking obviously ICS (MAybe JellyBean if there is a port) but WITHOUT SENSE. I want a de-sensed rom.)
Thanks
Relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu file for ics , once its done just start over
Easiest way is get the hansoon2000 tool kit take ya 10 min and you will be back where you where .

Dear Xperia T users,
Some of you might already know me, but some won't. I'm a developer for Sony Xperia phones and I have some experience now
I'm looking for people that are willing to test a kernel with recovery for me
When we have a working recovery I'll also need testers for my custom rom: KA Xperia SSpeed
I haven't started to make the kernel with recovery yet, first I need to know if there is interest in this at the moment?
Thank you,

Hey Krabbple , if you realease roms for t then try to ask pple to test on tx because its exactly the same but diff design / remove batt. also it might be compatible for v but kernel flashing may be diff.
I will test. I have unlocked bootloader and rooted. Both kernel in other thread just stick on bootlogo

new kernels posted, let's hope they boot this time the command I use should be good, I used the right base adresses
I posted 2 insecure kernels, please test them both and report back to me
I am getting my T next week krab, we could join up for development?
Ive got mine now, put me down for helping to test the ROM's and such, would rather be honest and say that I have no idea on how to flash a kernel.
My Xperia T should arrive in the next days to be compared with a S3 first hand. I'm pretty sure the S3 will lose and will be sent back to Amazon - and I'm absolutely up for some crazy flashing
What can I do to help development? Should I dump the firmware and upload it? It is from O2 Germany and without a simlock, can't say if it is branded yet.
the big and might Codeworkx is having the T too....
expect fabulous dev work here !!!!
Can't wait Krab

I am a long time android user , mostly Samsung , but other devices as well, so that being said, theres no way without an unlocked bl i can use CWM ? Or any custom recovery? I dont care about warranties as i buy my phones outright,js, but i need to root for sure , get rid of att junkware , also custom roms, but maybe im missing something in the motorola world, how do you root and get custom roms and not have a custom recovery , sure you can have root, but custom roms without recovery?

If you have a GSM Dev Edition you can do all that stuff. I believe that AT&T's and Verizon's Moto X's are locked.
You can use Safestrap, which creates a partition which you can flash custom Roms, but I believe you have to be on Android 4.2.2 to do it. All it does is create a partition so the official android version is always there and you will have less storage to use by using safestrap. There are no custom kernels for Safestrap to my knowledge.

You'll likely be dead before a bootloader leak comes out. Lenovo being in charge will change nothing. If an OEM wanted their phone on VZW or ATT, they're going to have to play by the carrier rules.

Why exactly do you need a custom recovery? There aren't any roms worth flashing, not when Moto got it right with the software. There aren't any kernels either. Root gives you access to Xposed which gives you access to GravityBox and native tethering.
If you really need a custom recovery, return or trade your phone for a Dev edition.
I'm not 100% sure but I think you can use J Case's SlapMyMoto for the Moto X's with a locked boatloader. But you'll need to be ready to put in some work because it looks a little confusing with downgrading to 4.2.2 then upgrading back to 4.4. I'm not very experienced with all this stuff either so I could be wrong. Might be worth checking it out though just in case.

I personally think OP should stick to Samsung devices and/or Nexus devices for now. Most of the dev-support breaks down to those two devices anyways. Also, the fun of Moto X lies in the fact it's really good with Stock ROM by itself with its special features. Installing Custom ROMs removes the primary reasons for even considering Moto X (active notification/touchless controls/motorola assist).
Well part of the fun of Android is being able to customize it, if all i wanted was a locked down OS id get an iphone and be just another flappybird idiot , there wouldnt be a need for XDA , maybe they can open an xda site for non custom stuff , most of you on here who have been using motorola products should do yourself a favor and try samsung or htc and find out what youve been missing ,sure there phones are good stock, but there amazing customized. I dont want to buy a Corvette that i cant customize to my own liking, just saying

Sorry to inform you, but if you're still in the return period, you should return that phone. AT&T and (regular) Verizon version are bootloader locked, there are no way to unlock them yet, if ever. You should get the GSM Developer edition, you can unlock its bootloader without voiding your warranty, then you can easily use fastboot to flash custom recovery and flash anything.
Also don't let other tells you how you should use the phone, it's Android, use it however you like. However, you should be careful next time to not buy locked down devices like AT&T and Verizon carrier locked phones, it's pretty much a given. Go with international unlocked, developer edition or Google Play edition. Also some phones are more moddable than other. Nexus phones give you unlimited freedom in term of flashing and customizing.
There is no reason to buy a AT&T locked devices if you intended to pay full price for the device, get the unlocked version instead, they will work on AT&T.

what modding and flashing is there if the bl is locked ? sure you can put fancy themes up there , but is there? Without recovery (custom recovery) , there is no flashing mods , custom mods, theres really nothing else , those of you who have been stuck in Motorola world (which by they way they made the cpu for apple for many years as well, a main reason why apples sucked too) , should try something by an unknown chinese company because those will be the only androids worth messing with in the years to come, or go get an sIII or Note , start modding and getting a custom recovery and then tell me how great stock is!
