In looking around gsmarena, I haven't found any Sony phone with comparable radio specs.
I kinda think that this speculation that sony phones have this radio may come from confusion between ST-Ericsson and Sony Ericsson.

Supposedly some Samsung phones use M570 based chips (ie: Galaxy S)...

Why hasn't ifixit torn down our phone yet? :confused:

I am going to debunk this whole m570 being the same as our chip/radio. The only reason that lfaber06 and I felt that it was sony, was because several other GSM phones that moto has put out have shared the same chips as the sony phones, not the ST Ericsson/Sony phones.

I suspect one of two things at this point:

1) We have a new radio that has not been used by another phone yet.

2) As suspected we share the same chip/radio as one of the newer sony phones.

P.S. when it was first thought we had the m570 radio, I did a ton of research on it, and found that it is very different from ours.

Thanks for all the research and clarification, Jim. It seems that Cheesecake may be our best option for getting a working radio with ICS.

Would this solve the CDMA problem, or have you already tried it?

Don't worry, we should have ICS pretty soon... Hopefully one of us will pull an early Beta of it from an update server one of these days. As previously mentioned it is IMPORTANT that everyone checks these servers at least once a day.

farshad, I noticed in another thread you said you had flashed this with bootstrap very early on. I understand the limitations. I just wanna take a look at it. Does it boot and get back into recovery okay? I'd use cwm on boot to get back. Thanks.

Um. Nevermind. I see the download has been pulled. I just found it curious you'd used bootstrap instead of safestrap. Now that I have cwm on boot installed I figured I'd try the alpha. No worries.

I could not even go pass mounting the /emmc :). The safestrap is very buggy.

Is there anyone with a working safestrap setup, that would be willing to test my CM9 build for the atrix 2? I currently dont have access to a atrix 2 to test it myself.

I still have a card with it partitioned for safestrap but Jim said it was still very buggy and did not recommend using it. I think they have pretty much abandoned it for other projects

    To Flash****UPDATED******
    - Boot into safestrap
    -Select safe system
    -toggle safe system on
    (It seems we have an issue wiping the safe strap /data and /cache so these additional steps are needed for now)
    -quick toggle safe system off *****MUST BE A QUICK TOGGLE*****
    -wipe data/factory reset
    (To be safe wipe the following)
    -Wipe Cache partition
    -format /system
    -wipe dalvik cache (Found a bug in safestrap that prevents us from wiping dalvik cache see thread)
    -quick toggle safe system on *****MUST BE A QUICK TOGGLE*****
    Now, flash the rom. (Selecting external Sdcard)
    Safestrap works alot like a dual boot, so you can always return to your stock system by simply disabling safestrap in the safe boot menu.

    This is ics for the droid 3 by hashcode, same guy that gave us permission to unofficially port and support safestrap. It does boot and work on our phones.

    This is what i know for sure right now
    -Wifi works
    -Most tasks and apps work
    -market is broken
    -calling/texting is broken, looks like its stuck on cdma?
    -accelerometer is broken

    What I'd like to see from here is some one willing to take over my project on this rom. I have a few of my own flash able zips complied with various tweaks to hopefully be able to make and receive calls, no success yet. I will keep trying but this is a project better suited for some one who is not so new to the linux environment. (I just got my first linux box 2 weeks ago)

    Please enjoy and the thanks button is below the download link :D

    Maybe it is time to scrap this CM9 port attempt!

    So, I am working on a full compile from source of CM9. At the moment, I am not interested in turning it into a ROM, but automating the process of setting up the environment, pulling the source, pulling the files off our phone that we need, and performing the compile, all from a linux script.

    I will link the XDA post that I am basing my information on, and my script will closely resemble commands from this page, as well as other things that are needed, that I have learned.

    Once I have it all working I will create a new post with the script, for those ROM devs in here, that would like to help out.

    I will attempt the first build of CM9 and see how far I can get, who knows maybe I can get us a ROM and kernel with kexec built in, that we can actually use.

    So far my script is pulling down the source and syncing the CM repo, and this will go on for several hours.

    Here is where I started my search and got several of the commands from, but I will advise, a lot of this is deprecated, but it led me in the right direction:

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26128271

    Here is a screen print of my script in action, pulling down the source and needed files:

    picture.php



    And yes I am pulling down the WHOLE cyanogenmod tree, not just CM9, so we can attempt a new build of cm7 with some mods to the same script, if everyone wants.
