Exit Strategies

[41rw4lk]

@41rw4lk Did you get your problem fixed? You might have to nand restore to a previous state if you are just getting boot loops. I would try to keep the phone at around 710Mhz as suggested somewhere else. But it all depends on the individual phone. My phone hasn't had any issues with bootloops at max speed, though some how at max speed it LAGS at times.

I have everything installed correctly and have it OC'd at 690Mhz right now. However, I can only get the phone to completely boot up when I'm plugged into usb, if unplug my phone and try to boot I just get bootloops. Kind of odd that I can only fully boot when I have my usb plugged in.

I had to restore to a previous nand and reset the oc to 710 after i had boot loop problems but other then that i have not had any problems myself

 

[41rw4lk]

I had to restore to a previous nand and reset the oc to 710 after i had boot loop problems but other then that i have not had any problems myself

So you restored to a nand with the oc kernel already set? Should I make a nand of my current setup with the oc kernel and do a wipe +recovery?

So, I still get boot loops. If I try and power on my phone it just loops around the white Moto screen, indefinitely. If I plug in the usb charger it will boot up every time, weird. It's like it has to have a jump start. I have no idea how to fix this. I did turn on logcat while it booted hoping to see the culprit, but honestly I don't know. I'm going to submit a portion of the logcat output in hopes that someone more knowledgeable will be able to see the problem. This portion logs everything up to the adlx splash screen since I know once I see that I have a successful boot.

I recommend flashing the Non-OC Kernel. You can download it here:
kernel_cliqXT269.kb.02-signed.zip
It is made by Adlx. It has all the fixes (kb7sqi patches, tun, ext support, FM, netfilter [wireless tether]) just without the OC. Let me know if that helps.

 

[41rw4lk]

Thanks for all your advice and help MM. That kernel definitely works.

 

[blackrob1010]

MM is the man. You can't go wrong with his advice.

Been meeting a whole lot of cliq xt owners that have no clue about rooting and custom rom thingy's, everyone I talked to was wondering if the entire process could be written into a package installer for windows.
Spread the word, customer retention at tmobile is now advising people to root their cliq xt! Pretty funny
Thanks!

That's hilarious!!! It sorta let's them off the hook though, which I am NOT inclined to do, LOL

 

[Prozack77]

After a few hours of following info on the threads, some back tracking, and some nervous moments (never used a command screen in my life before today), minus the distractions of 3 kids under the age of 4 running around the house like banshees, I rooted (correct term?) my xt, (chorus of angels singing, "hallelujah") and it's awesome! I love it. Thank you everyone for all the input and posting questions I had myself. Thanks @41rw4lk, Re-TARDIS, @NowVoyager, and @Mastermind278! You guys rock.

 

[Overbord]

@MM278 The modding god that you are......I was wondering if you knew what happened with the CM6 mod? I just went to check the thread and it is now closed? did he finally give up? Is someone going to follow in his footsteps or is 2.1 really the end of the XT. not saying I would be mad or expect nothing else from MOTOFAIL. Can you explain to me how to "freeze" programs with titanium backup? I was looking to freeze all the extra Blur crap on my phone. I tried looking for the instructions and just found a vague how to.

@everyone else: now you just have to change your bootanimations. I wish there was more people making them. I cannot code but can implement (get installed to clarify) with the best of them. I have changed mine from the adlx - r2d2 - dancing Gingy -knight rider Droid. not thaqt hard to do and there is even a app for that..LOL apple and their catch phrases.

 

[Mastermind278]

@Everyone - I don't think I have formally mentioned it here but I have released a new ROM called Basically Blurless it can be found here:
[ROM]Basically Blurless MM278 B2- Motorola CliqXT And Quench (01-07-2011)

Please keep discussion of the ROM in that thread as I don't frequent here as often.
Just FLASH B2 which has all the fixes and is basically blurless.

As for CM6, for now it is on hold. I haven't heard from FKCoder to get permission for modification. Nonetheless the next thing that is fixed is the GPS.. but again it isn't released as there is no permission to do so.

Nonetheless a few guys at ModMyMobile are now working on porting CM7 (Gingerbread)... so we shall see what is going to happen in the near future!

As for boot animations, you can put them in /system/media/bootanimation.zip
If they are in MDPI format (320x480) you can use any from any phone and it should be fine.

 

[butcheroftexas]

Mastermind278's new blurless rom rocks.
Other than not being able to call through bluetooth, the rom is perfect for me.
The phone is fast and stable with it.
An official motorola update is redundant now. I would rather use the blurless rom.

I think since the Cliq XT is a little behind in the mod/roms department we've come a long way in a short time. Everyday these roms are getting more stable, more functional, and a better option than a stock rom. Definitely thanks to the hard work of everyone involved, and especially MM.

There was a time when I was disappointed with my simple 1.5 android device, now I show it off.

 

[Hugh2d2]

Ok... stupid j_r0dd questions... wtf am I doing wrong.
I copy it over to the root of the SD card
rename it recovery.img
run adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
get the following error:
error opening /sdcard/recovery.img: Permission denied


do I need to chmod the recovery.img file?

Got it after I sudo. Sorry.

Edit 2: Moved the Basically Blurless MM278 B1zip file onto the SD card. Did the recovery/wipe. Now all I get is a triangle with an exclamation mark in it.

 

[Mastermind278]

@Hugh2d2 - If you are getting the Triangle then you are not on j_r0dd Recovery. Try to reflash his recovery.

 

[Hugh2d2]

@Hugh2d2 - If you are getting the Triangle then you are not on j_r0dd Recovery. Try to reflash his recovery.

Cool.

Feel like a slow learner... thanks for the help. I think it's working!

 

[Hugh2d2]

I seriously, deeply, truly appreciate the time and effort you guys put into this.

I'm much happier with a phone that I can use!

 

[NowVoyager]

You won't be censored here for telling the truth about what happened to you either! However, it is so much more EMPOWERING to actually *do* something to make your phone and your experience with it more enjoyable.

 

[Hugh2d2]

I am disappointed that Angry Birds is so laggy, but other than that, I'm very happy I rooted.

Anyone else who's apprehensive... don't be. It's like having a new phone!

 

[socko99]

Just visited the Moto thread after staying away for 10 days. Couldn't take the hate mail anymore. I wish those people would MOD already. I don't know about anyone else, but I am much happier doing all this modding, I feel like I have a better understanding of how all the parts work together.

And the phone seems more personal now unlike a simple upgrade push from Moto.

@mm278 I left a post on your modmymobile ROM thread but I thought I'd put it here too. I want to donate to your efforts. Do you have a "donate" button hidden somewhere?

 

[Mastermind278]

There might be a secret donation link somewhere, but I personally do what I do as a stress relief and just to get the XT to the way it should be.

[NowVoyager]

I spent most of this afternoon working to get Ubuntu onto my Mac...to no avail. In the interim, In a last ditch effort, I was able to get the carrier to offer me a deal on a new phone. However, I would still like to get my XT up to its potential. If any of you have information on how to get Ubuntu to work in the LIVECD mode with a PPC Mac please leave me a link or PM me.

I have tried versions 10.04, 9.10 and am currently downloading another version said to be compatible. The issue is the inability to get the Mac to boot from the iso CD into Ubuntu. Thank you for your help.

Mastermind278, thank you again for all that you do for this community!!! We appreciate you!!!
