Guys who want to fix the REBOOT-UNLOCK problem on XT316/XT311:
Just catch CDA files, make a zip and flash it. I will upload later, because I have to test it (I was curious to test, so I got XT316 and flashed it --').
USE CHEN'S RECOVERY!

Can't we use THIS overclocking method for motorola defy mini?
Assuming that we almost have the same specs, 600 Mhz armv6 processor? idk what's the kind of the chip, msm7225aa i guess
Yes, we can use it surely. I talked to the dev, he said that someone has to set up the building environment and build module from our kernel source.Here is how to.

OC Mode: I will try it ASAP, with 768MHz, based on PECAN'S (P350) results that I explored. @Jafael
Put on dl mode and reflash it with 100% battery. It should work. @zhalx
Just extract the ROM using Mazen's tool in the 1st page and unyaffs everything. :)

Mr.indigo, he does not enter in download mode, the only way he connects, and the flash mode, pressing the buttons power + volume down + camera. When I try to dl it enters only vibrates and flashes the lights do not come.

Take the battery, put it again and try.
You're on 317, right?

Yes, xt317, the rds install the rom on it, and the final process which will restart the device, restart and will not turn over, the lights are not lit more starts, does not appear to mark the motorola and still no call, seems they have the rds install the rom, the device does not start over. Getting back as it was before. Just try it now again with the battery to charge to 100% and it did not work.

    Hello Fire owners!
    I open this thread to keep all things of Fire together, only one thread, everything here.
    So here we go:
    THIS THREAD IS FOR MOTOROLA XT311/XT316/XT317, XT530/XT531, XT532 AND XT611 (aka SMARTFLIP) ONLY. IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR THREAD, PLEASE PM ME AND PASS ME YOUR POST. LET'S KEEP XDA ORGANIZED!

    CWM FOR FIRE XT XT530/XT532, SPICE XT XT531, FIRE XT311, SPICE KEY XT316 OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED
    This thread was focused in the 2nd-Init for XT31X and XT530, 531 and 532. For almost six months, we worked patientlly to get the CWM working on our devices. The wait for CWM is OFFICIALLY OVER. In a couple days ago, our friend aweosomeabhijeet found a way to run CWM on Gingerbread. The tutorial (made by himself) will be posted NOW:
    Hey Guys
    All your wait is over.
    Here I'll tell you how to get CWM for Moto Fire XT.

    Disclaimer : I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone. I have tried it and finished successfully.
    Try only if you know little bit about android.

    This is beta version. However, a dev is working on not using a PC to reboot back into system, and is trying to make the installation simplified.
    Lot of thanks to andrewidya

    Required things
    1. Rooted XT
    2. Pc

    Download these things on your phone:
    1. Terminal emulator
    2. Busybox(Open it and install)
    3. Root browser
    4. Pimp my Rom
    5. ES file explorer
    You can find all of them in the Play Store.

    If you have done with it download the attachment.

    Now main work.
    It is not easy though but I think everyone can do it.

    Steps:
    1. Extract the attachment and copy it to your sdcard
    2. Mount /system as RW.
    3. Open Root Browser and copy bootmenu folder from sdcard/XT530 and paste it in /system.
    4. Open Pimp My Rom and Add universal init.d support.

    5.Create 97bootmenu manually.(For this using ES file explorer is recommended)
    Steps:
    a.Open /system/etc/init.d
    b. Create a file, name it 97bootmenu.
    c. Open the file as text
    Type:
    Code:

    #!/system/bin/sh

    stop
    exec /system/bootmenu/binary/bootmenu

    d.save the file

    6. Change permissions of 97bootmenu to rwx r-- r--
    7. Reboot your phone.
    Now your phone will start at bootmenu.
    Select Recovery>Custom Recovery

    PS: If you want to get back the phone to boot normally. Just connect it to PC, open CMD and type
    cd path-to-adb.exe
    adb shell
    rm -R /system/etc/init.d/97bootmenu
    exit
    adb reboot

    I succeeded here's the video:

    Sorry for poor camera quality.

    Thanks to all the members.

    Special Thanks to:
    Gentrylamp for creating bootmenu.
    7amdoun for his great knowledge and modding bootmenu for XT530.
    andrewidya for correcting me at every point.
    Mazen.kh for everything he did.
    Mr.Indigo for giving us hopes.
    And all other members whom I forgot to mention here.
    This above quote is the 1ST post of his thread.
    THANKS TO HIM AND TO ALL OF THE DEVELOPERS WHO HELPED TO GET THIS.


    ROOTING & UNROOTING
    You will follow this tutorial if you have 2.3.5 version of Android:
    Downloads:
    Here are the apps/files needed for Rooting -
    1. SuperOneClick 2.3.3.0
    2. SUT LR 1.8.2 (Doesn't seem to be working on 64-bit systems)
    3. FXX_PR3_NV.xml and NvDefinition.xml [ATTACHED]

    Before Rooting:
    Prepare your phone by doing the following:
    - Go to Settings > Applications > CHECK "Unknown Sources"
    - Go to Settings > Applications > Developer > CHECK "USB Debugging" and "Stay Awake"
    - Connect your phone via USB, when prompted DO NOT select USB Mass Storage.
    - Extract FXX_PR3_NV.xml and NvDefinition.xml from the attached zip file in to a folder

    - Now, install SUT LR, run the app
    - Select the FXX_PR3_NV.xml [ensure NvDefinition.xml is also in the same folder as FXX_PR3_NV.xml]
    - Your phone will restart.

    It does NOT erase anything on the phone, since it only patches the ROM.

    Rooting:
    After the phone restarts, open SuperOneClick and select root. It will take less than a minute to finish.

    Notification LED fix : NotifyLed.apk

    Heyy! xt530, xt531, xt316, xt311, xt532, xt317 users! (maybe more)

    Thanks to a Spanish xt316 blog/forum taringa.net I found that

    NOW YOUR NOTIFICATION LED (ONLY BLUE) WILL WORK WITH ANY APP, NOT ONLY SMS, MISSED BATTERY LOW!

    I tested it and it works with whatsapp,
    Just replace NotifyLed.apk with this one in attachments :)

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    My extra mod:
    Removed Batterylow, Missed call, New sms/mms blinking, so you can re add them *IF YOU NEED THEM* with Light flow
    i did so in my own new apk for those who hate battery low blinking
    or those who want to change the blinking speed for Mms/Missed call via light flow, the old apks would conflict with them.
    also because when the battery is 15% or lower and for example you have a whatsapp notification it won't blink because of the battery low blinking already

    Press thanks if i helped, pointing you to the apk :angel:

    about CG2.smg

    Hey man I'm interested in the thread and i can help you extracting the CG2.smg

    Here you are my tut. [for windows] it worked for me

    1- unrar the file in the attachments
    2- make sure that your file is named to 'CG2.smg' without quotes for sure, and in the same folder..
    3- just run the .bat and wait for cmd to finish the job then you will find a folder called 'CG2-extracted' in the same place you extracted my .rar file

    Note: you will find in the folder called 'CG2-extracted' some mbn files, systemsec.mbn is the /system folder in the xt311/xt316
    extract it easily using unyaffs like a system.img file, if you need help in this PM me. i can help you extracting systemsec.mbn only, i dunno about other files also to repack systemsec.mbn you'll need mkyaffs and i think it's usable on ubuntu only and i can't help you with it
    sorry for long reply but press thanks if i helped.

    Hello guys, sorry if this is not the best place to post a problem but, this is the only one active discussion about XT316 that i have found, i have this phone with Brazil Claro stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread Android installed, then i have installed the ChainFire3D hoping to have better experience with some games...
    But i got a bricked phone... when powering on, the phone shows only the Motorola logo, then a black screen with no response, and continous reboot

    I started the phone in recovery mode and tryed to perform a Factory Recover, but no sucess, same with Wipe Cache Partition option, so, what is left to do now is my question...:(

    Okay look
    1- Download rsd lite from here
    2- Download the global rom for your phone from here
    3- Extract the zipped rom and rename the extracted file to A.sbf then put it in C:\ drive on your pc
    4- Pull out your phones battery and re insert then put your phone in bootloader mode by pressing (camera and volume down-) keys and power key at the same time. You'll see a white screen with black text on your fone
    5- Connect Your phone with usb to the pc and wait for it to install the drivers
    6- When your pc is ready open rsd lite which you already installed in step1
    7- Chose A.sbf that file in your c drive [in the filename field] in rsd lite by browsing it !
    8- your phone should be recognized in the device list down there, it should be something like 'msm7227' select it then click [start] button in the rsd lite window :p
    9- press thanks if i helped
    PS. if your pc doesn't recognize the fone re plug it in untill it shows in rsd lite
    also you may get to a certain part and see your phone at FTM mode or something then you have to unplug it, remove the battery and boot the fone normally
    i hope you understand this and i hope i helped :)

    Hey guys! Welcome 7amdoun!
    I tried 317 KERNEL again, but this time I replaced the binaries. My biggest error in Android.
    My display was oscliating, so , I advise you guys:
    NEVER, BUT NEVER REPLACE ANY BINARY IN /system/bin!
    I will reflash XT317 kernel today and keep my tests.... this time I will try to fix SD Card errors.
