Post your phone config (firmware, kernel, swap file, etc...)
I'm turning my phone back to the factory config (firmware, etc.) for comparisons. I have the original branded firmware from motorola (45p)!

[Exploited]

that's a nice access time

Seems that we have a problem with modded firmwares!

I flash my phone to original unmodded firmware, and for my surprise:


#############################################

Still limited, but very far better.
Still not the 18Mb/s for the card direct plugged on USB, but better than before.

Firmware modders, we have a job. Why this happens?

[vhugobr]

I found. The problem is the modded firmwares like the ilove3d_Kernel_v1, one I did myself and maybe all others.

Look at this when I flashed only the modded kernel (kernel reflash):


A horrible 1MB/s again.
Looks like the problem is not the modded firmwares, but the modded kernels.

[pizzadox619]

i use maxx e2 without swap & oc

so we can know, the trouble came from ilove3d_Kernel_v1

[vhugobr]

I can make the E2 kernel too, and my kernel (you can call it vhugobr_kernel_v1) is almost identical to the ilove3d kernel, with this same bug.
I don't know why this happens. I'll do some research and post here later.
I am planning to do a unmodded kernel reflash, so wait a bit more...

[vhugobr]

Great news!

I found the bug responsible for the limitation of 1MB/s speeds.
It can be found on the ilove3d kernel v1 and dimichxp kernel.

Conditions:
1. This bug can appear if you have flashed your phone with a monsterpack with a modded firmware;
2. This bug can appear if you have flashed your phone with a modded kernel, even if you have a stock firmware;
3. Maybe other conditions that involves a buggy RDL3 (the cause of the problem).

This bug can be corrected by replacing the buggy RDL3 on the SBF by one "unbugged".

I am preparing some kernel options like a corrected ilove3d, dimichxp and a new one made by me
I'll do some tests and post here ASAP.

Don't know if you have this bug? Use the HD Tune Pro 3.00 (Trial) and do the "Benchmark" test on "read" mode selected.

First of all:
I'm not responsible for damages on your phone, use this files at your own risk.

For those who are interested in this bux fix:

1. ilove3d Kernel V1

2.Dimichxp Kernel
http://www.4shared.com/file/51987550/4e7993bb/CORRECTED_Kernel_Dimichxp.html

I tested this two files on my phone. It's working as before but now with better transfer rates.
If I didn't say before: Test your mass storage with HD Tune Pro 3.00 Trial, if read speed is about 1MB/s, I recommend this bugfix.

Good Luck and happy motomodding!

is it good if applied to any MP?

[vhugobr]

I applied this to my stock 45p firmware and on the Rokr Ultimate and worked fine.
It's like any other kernel mod. It only change the CG33 (the firmware part) and the RDL3 (something hardware related).

[Taurnil]

thanks for your hard work. K++++

I'm on MAXX E2 MP and I don't have this problem. I guess MAXX E2 doesn't use modified kernel.

How did you fix these kernels? Did you compile them by yourself?

[Polar_BearXL]

Can someone tell me, which kernel that i have to take if i got Maxx E2, i'm not into this kernel modding

[vhugobr]

Blink_: The cause of the problem was a buggy RDL3. If you have multikeypress, swap, ext2, ext3, easy apmd or sd 4gb fix, you have the modded firmware. But if you don't have the 1MB/s problem, maybe on the creation of th MP the author, without knowing, replaced for the correct RDL3.

Polar_BearXL: I don't use this MP, ask the creator or read the MP post page here in motohell. It's probably the ilove3d one. BUT BE CAREFUL!!! Change if you have the bug.

People who tested, please reply if it's working ok. I want to know to post the files here in the right section.
