Interestingly enough, Tenfar's profile says Last Activity: Today 04:39 AM

Current Activity: Viewing Thread Short update on current status of bootloader unlock (we reached first goal)

I wonder what he is thinking reading all of this...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zexbig:
Personaly I dont care for what is my donation used, tenfar is great dev and he deserve it. And If You are not happy with that well that is Your problem.

You shouldnt forget that only cwm port that we have until now is coming from tenfar.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] samcripp:
Tenfar is doing what he said he is doing. Prob not on this thread, Cause is full of people been rude to 1 guy; 1 guy that can make it happen. I dont see any of you doing any programing. The guy deserves the donations!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tenfar:
hi all, first of all , i need to clarify that i got the donations from you and i am very apprecaited for that.

and second the screen shot is taken by me. the i send to zexbig. via email.

i like to mess with the atrix, and i am trying to do things....and i have my work. i need to work from 9:am to 9pm in monday to friday. and i am free at sat and sunday. i will spend most of my free time messing with the atrix.

but as i said in the early post , i can not sure that i can make all the things work.

and i think no one can, their is no ETAs.

I need to dig more deep into the tegra platform.to see what i can do, or make things better... dont push me, you have my word. i will spend my time on that, and i really did that, i mess with atrix every single night to 3pm, and get up at 8:40am for work.

some people in these post if my work and i are not worth for your donation,please send me a pm with your donation transfer code. i will send the money back to you pp account! i am doing this for fun,not for money!

sorry for those hard words.

i will update in this post if i got any progress.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] G-Man.:
Thank You for the update Tenfar! Glad you got an Atrix to work with now.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nitrox1:
Thank you, that should keep everyone quiet.

Side note, HTC have said " no more, locked bootloader", not "think about it", or "upto carrier", just open bootloader.

I don't know if that will be on sensation with update, or up coming phones.

See what happens when a company listens, their petition had only been up for couple of months.

Wheres ours so I can sign it again.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] lunzi88:
Thanks for the update tenfar, as for all those whining fools. Yous shld have been here long enough to inderstand the basic concept of there being no eta for dev to adhere to. They will release updates as and when they have made a breakthrough or deem their progress significant enough to be mentioned

Ironic that all of this drama may have scared off a lot of different devs. We are truly fortunate that tenfar took it with a grain of salt. Any less of a man may have said screw them, I don't want anything to do with that community.

Thanks tenfar! There are many of us that dont doubt your resolve!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Caid444:
My apologies.

Seems my last post was deleted, and likey for good reason. Sorry about the rudeness folks, I was tired and my good intentions came out unrefined, unfiltered, and unacceptable.

So, apologies for that.

I wish the devs excellent luck. Win or fail, the effort is worth recognition.

Honestly it seems kholk's kexec project is moving along quite fast.. this project would be better than the 2nd unit I believe, so I'd be checking his thread if I were you.

Sent from my Motorola Atrix using the XDA App
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zexbig:
Tenfar has question for dev's which are experienced with motorola..

So issue is that framebuffer is locked, there is special option in kernel

which has been disabled by default by motorola

Please check line 26 on http://pastebin.com/kguRRz6Y

[ 0.000000] parse_tag_motorola: allow_fb_open: 0

Question is how to open framebuffer without charge mode (it seems that in charge mode allow_fb_open is set to 1)

since in charge mode we can't run adb over USB?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] franciscojavierleon:
maybe ask p3droid (jimmydafish) although from what i understand framebuffer access has changed in this phone
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kenslaters:
I'm doing it too...

Enviado desde mi MB860 usando XDA Premium App
[Atrix 4G Android Development] NFHimself:
In the source code for the Atrix, there is a specific bit for tegra-fb.c (kernel ->llinux -> drivers -> video -> tegra) that contains the block, I haven't looked far into it.

int tegra_fb_open(struct fb_info *info, int user)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_MACH_MOT
extern int MotorolaBootFBArgGet(unsigned int *arg);
unsigned int allow_open;

MotorolaBootFBArgGet(&allow_open);

allow_open |= PU_REASON_CHARGER == bi_powerup_reason(); // allow charge-only mode to open
if(!allow_open) return -1;
#endif

return 0;
}

I haven't located MotorolaBootFBArgGet(), but it's obvious that the bi_powerup_reason() function's how CWM is able to display something via recovery.

Cheers!

Tenfar is currently on dinner I think that he will be VERY surprised when he see how much we as community appreciated his work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Vangelis13:
Wait until he cracks the damn thing, you'll see some serious appreciation then.. ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] zexbig:
Just to make things little bit clearer for tech people here:

Current process of booting the Motorola Atrix phone goes like this

BOOT ROM->BOOTLOADER (check for signature on /boot partition where normally kernel is)->Booting linux kernel (this is separated in 2 phases, first one is init and second one is booting rest of the kernel).

What we are trying to achieve here is the following:

BOOT ROM->BOOTLOADER->NORMAL KERNEL INIT (STOP) ->then invoke trough some other binary (logwrapper) custom kernel which should be on /system partition.

Becouse bootloader is checking for signature on /boot partition we have to put custom kernel somewhere else.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] asten77:
I think it's worth noting that 2.3 is not the multi-core-enabled version of gingerbread. Doing a release costs lots of money - I'd bet Motorola is working on that version (rumored to be 2.4) with google for release, rather than wasting time on 2.3... Yeah, I want gingerbread, and yeah, i want the !#@$ bootloader unlocked, but there is likely a good reason Motorola hasn't released it. You'll note the Droid X2 which is also dual core is also shipping with 2.2.

What is funny to me is that a I showed this to a colleague at work today who is an iPhone fanboi, and he could not believe the support. He admitted that he could not get this kind of support and generosity from the Apple community! :)

Just donated five bucks to Tenfar
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Looks like my idea was thought up first. Use the same (2nd init) method used on the Defy on the Atrix. This is very beneficial because now we have 2 methods to do things. So if one fails or doesn't work well, we can use the other method. And I'm guessing the "under the radar" thing is possibly another method.

Great work. And thanks to everyone that donated.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] G1-8701:
Well let me put my 2 cents in and say THANK YOU for taking time out of your day/days to help get this bootloader unlocked/bypassed. I been in SO MANY debates on xda defending this phone cause i love my atrix and i had faith that the bootloader issue will be resolved, and it's finally happening. I wanna help, but i just got my job and don't really have much money as of now, but i do plan on helping out anyway that i possibly can and i will continue to defend this phone on different threads(yea sounds kinda corny lol) but a lot of people didn't get this phone because of those threads that throw the atrix on the back burner, and i kno when the SGSII comes out it's gonna get worse, but hopefully the BL gets unlocked by then......

Now that i think about it, this dog fight is gonna be just like the Evo vs the Iphone 4 lol, the 2 top phones goin at it, cause i seriously doubt the iphone 5 gives either phone any comp, maybe the Evo 3d, idk though
[Atrix 4G Android Development] kidqian:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] CyberPunk7t9:
Just checking.. I don't remember where I learned this?! But isn't there a section here hidden from users and is only accessible by Devs?

If yes, Are we sure Tenfar has this access?

Actually, I made a lot of money SELLING ATRIX PHONES after preparing them with those nice p-roms and the great mods and themes made available by devs here.

So it's kinda like "ash to ash" and I donate the money here and there to the devs. haha :D

I wish I saw this thread earlier. Please let me know if more donations are needed.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] drumercalzone09:
It should eventually allow us to install TRUE custom ROMs such as CM7, MIUI, and the like. Currently we can only run modified versions of the stock ROMs because the bootloader checks some sort of signature by Motorola.

That last sentence might not be true in the technical sense, but I think that's the gist of it. :D Anyway, we can load custom ROMs.

Is Tenfar now working on the same thing khoulk was working on? Like is it just the bypass method he's trying to do, and will be be able to use custom kernels as well? I'm just a little confused with all the different things the devs are trying lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cocchiararo:
tenfar is "porting" 2nd init from the DEFY.

i don't know if that allows for custom kernels or not. (never owned a defy, nor have i researched it).

The moto milestone was never able to run unsigend kernels, the rest was ok, i THINK the defy can.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Ah I see. From what I've heard, 2nd init doesn't allow custom kernels...I thought that project was dead for now though. What happened to the bypass thing khoulk was working on then?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] PixoNova:
Kholk is still hard at work :)

It'd be good in the mean time to have 2ndinit while we're waiting for the boot loader bypass to get straightened out

Swyped from my Motorola Atrix 4g using XDA Premium App
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Ah, perfect, thanks for clearing that up :)

Hopefully in the long run we can get the bypass method, because it seems having custom kernels would just be overall better? Honestly, I'm not really even sure what difference a custom kernel would make for us haha.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bearsfan172:
Yes custom kernels would be better in the long run. The other good thing about having 2nd init first is that work on porting ROMs could be done in now, so when the bypass does come through, getting them to work would take a lot less time
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
Yeah, either way, any improvement is better! So why exactly would custom kernels be better? I kind of understand what they do in general, but like what kinds of benefits do custom ones give android users?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] lurchbyrep:
Guys, both methods allow custom kernels and are very similar in exactly what they do. They both must be used to boot any given ROM AFTER booting all or part of the signed factory kernel. The difference is mainly that kexec is a ready and native Linux tool and, if working, is likely to be less buggy. ChongoDroid and the2dcour know this and are having some fun with those posters who didn't.

:)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
Hmm, I don't know. I'm pretty sure if you just had 2nd init, you couldn't load up custom kernels...
