I forgot to backup my LG Phoenix P505 from AT&T. I went screwing around with /system/ in r/w. Does anyone have the stock image?
There are reports of a 2.2.2 update rolling for the Phoenix, perhaps this could help when available.
hey thache, I pulled out my at&t wireless address book using titanium backup, but couldn't restore it, and now my contacts are screwed. I've got an AT&T LG Phoenix (P505)
I'll be keeping an eye out for this as well.
Let me know if you find a way to export the ATTWAB as an apk.
Thanks and good luck!
Do you know if anyone is working on a ROM for Phoenix yet?
Have you tried this with your serial number:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
if it works, it will give you a direct link to download your kdz.
Maybe someone with the same model phone could do a system pull to help you out.
I'm wondering if there's a working ROM for the Phoenix as well. I'm a complete newb when it comes to Android and I don't know jack about creating my own ROM through LINUX/ Ubuntu. As much as I've been reading around, I don't see that anyone has cracked this puppy yet.

Hey guys, so I just ordered an Eris which I intend to use on MetroPCS.
I just want to make sure that I'm doing all this in the correct order..
So, fist thing is that I need to make sure that the phone has 2.1 on it in order to use the 1 click root solution(love )
-Though if my phone isn't 2.1..how do I upgrade without rooting so that I can root?
Next, I need to choose a rom to use. I found the read first sticky listing all the most current roms and radios and other info on how to actually install them.
-Though, since the thread is closed are they really all the latest?
Lastly, I need to Flash (not sure if that is actually the correct terminology) the phone's settings over to Metro using the file found here.
I think that's the basic direction that I need to take. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.
I am in the dark about a couple things, though I'm not sure I need to understand them.
I know the kernel is a central part of the OS, but doesn't it come with the rom you choose? Why would you need to flash the Kernel, is it just to update your rom without actually changing your rom?
Also, what's with recovery images and what's an RUU?
Finally, how do I pick a rom that's right for me!? There seem to be so many and I'm not sure which are the most recent/functional/fast..
Anyway, you guys are awesome for all you do and I hope that this thread can be useful to someone besides just me.
Thanks again!!

Probably once you get the phone it will already have the 2.1 official OS or you can update it through the Settings and have it check for updates. I would suggest that you try xtrSense. I have no clue on the Metro settings though but I would imagine once you get a good ROM flashed that all you have to do is to just install the settings.
Thanks, yeah..I think that link that I posted takes care of the metro settings..at least it says it does.
I didn't think I would be able to do an over the air update because I was assuming that it was DL'd from a verizon server. Does the update to 2.1 come from a typical internet source that can be accessed from any network?
Is any able to advise me if the Telstra version of the Atrix would have similar issues to the Bell OS, if I decided to load up Motobread, Ginger blur etc etc.

I may have missed something but i followed the steps to install gingerblur and well, it bricked my Telstra atrix that I only got yesterday
Luckily i made a backup of the telstra firmware as soon as i got it so its all good. Just got no idea on how to install CF. The telstra atrix i'm assuming is the same as the AT&T atrix because they are both "Motorola Atrix MB860" but i could be missing something
Uh oh, radio's and fingerprint reader aren't working
Oh, and it also wont turn itself off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys should probably be following instructions for the Bell Atrix. Bell users have been successful at flashing the telstra firmware and then installing grey/ginger blur and so I'd start there.
Hope it helps
DarkRyoushii
PS: OMG Atrix is released in Australia now? I should go find a telstra store and check out the differences, my Atrix that I've had since launch (from AT&T then unlocked) is the only one I've actually used so I'd love to see if the bugs in mine still exist in telstra's hahaha
EDIT: Oh and if u need a briefing. Bootloader Bypass has basically dropped off the radar and turned silent, probably still being worked on in private chats to avoid spam and offtopic posts. 2nd Init works (a different way to install custom ROMs however unable to modify kernel) but there are no ROMs developed yet, probably also being worked on in private chats if you are interested check out the freenode IRC #moto-atrix
All ROMs released as of writing are pseudoROMS that only theme and lightly modify the current OS
Thanks

I had a really bad feeling that that would be the case. Bell users appear to have a limited range of options compaired to the AT&T users. Now it seems that the Telstra users will have even less options than the Bell users.
I have at least managed to load HeLauncher, Pyramid & Fancy widgets tonight and now I've have more of the options that I wanted from the HTC desire sense UI.
Still trying to work out how to get my hands on the widget/live weather wallpaper that has that Super Cool looking windscreen wiper that clears the rain away.... Any ideas on how to get ahold of it?
Thanks again.
limited how? what version is your telstra rom? (wondering if its the same as the one that is already on this site)
as for the windshield wiper, that is from sense....oh i see you found the mock sense thread.

My system version is;
Version.4.1.47,MB860.Telstra.en.AU
Thanks for the info, I will start looking for the other one on this site.
So i can guess we can all agree that Telstra's Atrix cannot be flashed with custom ROM's from AT&T. I just tried it again tonight with different roms and all works up, shows "Ginger Blur" or whatever it is and then the red blinking failed boot and it just tries over and over to boot. I'm gonna flash back to OLYEM_U4_1.4.2_SIGNED_USAOLYEMTELSTRA_P029_A020_M005_HWolympus_1g_1FF and just sit and wait till something comes up unless someone's got something they wanna try
they should be able to flash using the gingerblur/greyblur guide by seven2009. you may not be able to deodex with the same instructions but installing should be fine, you would need to flash grey blur and factory reset the device before installing gingerblur.
If that route doesn't work you may need to start by flashing the french rom that is mentioned in that thread first.

You are doing better than me so far, but I must admit that going for custom ROM's has me a bit worried. I flashed my Nokia 5800 and it was better for looks and customisation, but it crashed alot. Then I jail breaked my iSheep (iphone 3G) and that was a little better than stock iOS, but it also crashed alot too.
I am hesitant to play around too much with the Atrix, simply because it's so new, and I was patient enough to wait for the Telstra release (instead of an imported AT&T version). However I found this thread that may shed some light on the topic at hand.
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?r=29747620#r29747620
User "LeChuck" has some great knowledge and info about this Telstra firmware.
I am just not adventurous enough at the moment to have a crack at it. All I need to do, is find out how I could hard reset back to stock firmware if I don't like mods, then i'll give it a go. Even since rooted it over the weekend, I've notice3d more little issues each day I play around with things.
Can it be "Un-rooted" (is that an actual term used???) back to standard?

You mean, you would like the procedure of installing a custom ROM on those specs? I would too.
It's mainly the BL unlock process I am not sure about on Telstra Atrix of the same spec. I'm comfortable with the rest.
Hello fellow Spice owners!
I'm working on developing some custom firmware for the XT300 and eventually the XT311/316, but to get started I need some ROM dumps.
Ideally I need a dump of both the 2.2 FroYo and 2.3 Gingerbread firmwares.
If you've never dumped a ROM before it's not too hard.
First you need a rooted phone. I don't have XT31x hardware yet, but SuperOneClick should work for the 2.2 ROM and there are detailed instructions for rooting 2.3 in the Q&A forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218506
For the rest of the instructions, there is a simple to understand set of directions at M3.

Thanks in advance,
Martin

i could have given u a rom but i crashed mine, so i need as well a rom
its quite difficult to find Fire XT316 threads because of the lack of a own Forum section
-> a own Forum can be pushed here: Link vote +1
I doubt the XT311/316 will get a forum just yet, but I'm thinking maybe a unified XT300/311/316 forum maybe once we get some interest going with a ROM or two.

Then u would probably need to integrate the Fire XT531 as well.
=> Motorola Fire XT300/311/316/530/531 Forum
AFAIK, the XT530/531 are not very closely related to the XT3xx line. They mostly just seem to share cosmetic similarities with a different hardware platform.
Edit:
Ignore what I just said, upon further inspection they do appear to be related, just based on the newer/faster msm7227T SOC.
Looks like I've got another device to add to my list.

Just a side note, dont mess around with the vm heapsize, it made my spice go into a bootloop and i cant do anything with adb. had to send it in for repairs ):
What model spice? You could probably still have done a repair with RSD lite, asuming there is an SBF for your model.

well i live in toronto and ive already boot looped it before and I STILL CANT FIND ANY SBF. theres none to be found and there arent any tutorials on how to extract the firmware into a sbf. sent it in for repairs already
Hey, I'm in Toronto too, lol.
You didn't answer my question as to the model.

By model what do you mean? Currently there are three (I think) different models, Canadian, Brazilian, and Chinese. I have the Canadian version but I got to borrow my friend N1 for now

Yeah, tweak the hell outta mine too. I've actually changed the VM heap settings without tanking mine, btw, I do have a ROK dump already and backups that can be flashed with fastboot in case of emergency.
There is no publicly available SBF for us. Just the ones that the authorized Moto repair facilities have access to. Wish I could get my hands on that.

I put my vm too low and started boot looping and it wouldn't respond to adb . What's a ROK dump? I wish we could get the sbf too..... Btw how much experience do you have with building roms? I concluded that I don't have enough experience plus the locked bootloader is really annoying.

Just found this
" Hi Xiao, I found a way to download the SBF file from Motorola for the Brazilian Rom, here it is: You need the Motorola Software Update (MSU) Any time after the MSU detect your IMEI number, Model Number and Operator, You need to reboot your phone and press and hold “Space” key, don’t close your MSU your phone will be in RSD/BOOTLOADER mode and the MSU will continue with the following message “The update process has been interrupted and must be restarted.” click Retry And it give you the SBF for your firmware. MSU will download the SBF file and put it in C:\Program Files\Motorola\Software Update\firmwares. it also created a file Retail – Brazil_Brazil_WCDMA_RETBRXT300WN.xml.msu who tell to motorola the file to download. As soon the file is download and the MSU prepare the installation it is important to copy the SBF to another location because it will be deleted when finished. Once you have copy the file you can stop the installation. Someone tried this with a Canadien rom but the MSU doesn't detect the Model Number and Operator."
could you give this a shot?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Good ecfort!
Unfortunately I've tried it before, but it won't work. Motorola never released any Canadian SBF to the public update server as far as I can tell. They have two SBF servers. The "public" one which the Motorola Software Updated uses and the "private" one, which requires a secure authenticated session and is only available to authorized Motorola Service Centers.
Also, that was supposed to read "ROM dump"
I did a dump of my system, boot and recovery partitions. I've got them all in .img files which are flashable by fastboot.
Handy for recovering from a messed up build.
I've only ever built a few ROMs, but I think I can pull it off.
The plan is to start simple with trying to get FroYo from an XT316 to run on a XT300. The hardware is near identical, except for the upgraded CPU, so it should be simple.
Then on to an AOSP FroYo build. Eventually I'm going to try to get GB running too, but that might be too much for the limited hardware.
Of course, I'm stuck with the stock 2.6.29 kernel due to the bootloader lock, so no overclocking or kernel tweaks.
I'm also going to try and get an AOSP build done for the XT311/316 once I get my hands on the firmware.

Darn..... well that's alright. When we get froyo its going to be so much better. I find that even after i removed the spicy.apk there were still lots of motorola stuff running in the background :/. When do you think you will have an experimental rom?
Hi, I have the version 7.1.2 of android on my phoenix 4 and I want to update it to 8.1 but although the official update exists, my cell phone simply does not receive it because it is from at & t and I currently do not use at & t. Can anybody help me?

I too am trying to update and no longer in AT&T range. Even using LG Bridge, it comes back saying it can't determine version and won't update. I found some discussions that "Tec's Aristo 2 Tutorial's" should work for Phoenix 4, but those that have successfully rooted and/or installed new ROM seem to lose touchscreen functionality and even flashing stock back does not restore the touchscreen.
So seems it is close, but not close enough to risk turning it into a brick. Anyone out there have luck with updating this phone without connection to AT&T towers?
Hi all,
I've just rediscovered my old LG V10. Does anyone know how to flash a newer version of Android onto it? Preferably the latest version, but I cannot seem to find any guides on how to do it. Thanks!
Hope someone chime in with a solution. I changed mine that is still new because LG doesn't support newer version.
