[OMAP3630] unlocking the Motorola Defy Bootloader

Daniele Daccurso

Hello guys,

I own a Motorola Defy which runs on an omap3630 board.

Me and some other guys on xda are trying to unlock the bootloader of this device since a long time.

After speaking to TI today, they told me to post here and use the "Flash_Tool".

All we need may be a binary file to flash on it, and a configuration file for the 3630 board, cause it seems not to be supported.


Can anyone tell me what to do? I would really like to make costum systems / kernels for this device.


this is the thread on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443678

Can anyone tell me where I will find the files we need?

thank you very much

    Hello,

    Phones such as these have secure OMAP devices that can only be unlocked by Motorola. None of the tools that TI has can unlock these phones and that is the intention. Motorola would not want this.

    If you are interested in developing code for an OMAP3630 based device I would recommend looking at something like the beagle-XM board. See:

    Cheers

    Hello,

    -But if any tools of TI can't unlock the OMAP, why not have any option of OMAP36xx  on TI Flash as OMAP35 or OMAP37??  Motorola might not want to put the options that can unlock the OMAP36xx in your application?

    Maybe I'm wrong, but do not believe you ... Since many users report a tool called "TI OMAP Configure Board" that can unlock the bootloader.
    Please... Upload these tool...  We need for own devices. Thank you
    Best regards.

    You need to understand that there are different versions of the OMAP3630 devices. Some have security enabled and cannot be unlock by users or TI and only the manufacturer and the are other versions that do not have security enabled and can be reprogrammed. The Defy is a security enabled device and so TI does not have the ability to unlock this device and this is the intent per design. You may wish to look at the Archos products which are open for development.
