@kadavil

Please update to anghelyi's latest version. I mean this one :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlW7g21PprQ

thanks
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
Ok tutorial updated to anghelyis latest version

for all who had already followed the tutorial just go through the stuff needed once more and replace the zimage with the new one

Tutorial updated again

added new FOTA which allows to boot without connecting to pc (thanks nbates66 for explanation ;) )
[Bada Software and Hacking General] rix94:
hello can you help me?

I followed the steps but when I start the phone with Android I see that galaxy s boot but after start bada.

Where i'm wrong?

sorry for my English but I'm Italian
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
follow the tutorial once more

it has been updated few times ;)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
Help needed

i have installed a firmware which is made by mixing xxjl2 and xxjk1. Can i directly flash with the xxjee bootloader and fota files given in tutorial or i have to first flash with xxjl2? my bootloader is from which firmware i dont remember (may be from xxjk1).
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
mixing.. you must be using a CFW :D

why take risk? flash to xxjl2 :)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] natedogg20050:
keep up the good work guys , i know what unstable means i worked on the beta testing team of idroid for the iphone.

now i am interreset in the wave system with android , one question can we just simply flash the bada firmware to enable fota ? or if our firmware is higher can we simply downgrade ?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adi4u4882:
No you cant downgrade,just download s8500XXJL2 firmware from the given link and replace the existing .fota and bootfiles with the given one(see tutorial for links) and flash it,thats all!

WARNING: If you make any mistake during flashing your phone will be bricked!! Use some flashing guides IF you dont know.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] herandy:
was the kernel and file system changed from the first time you put it here?

I got it then, just wondering if I have to get it again?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
I have added linka for the new kernel separately

its the zimage file

check the stuff needed section of the tutorial to get the new zimage file(kernel)

the filesystem remaims unchanged

FOTA is also updated
[Bada Software and Hacking General] prokshit:
My question is how can i again Go back to bada after i hav done the android procedure ... plz i m noob but plz be kind to reply thank q ^_^
[Bada Software and Hacking General] psycoy:
... oh yes ... writing/reading enable ...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] milli133:
I (and I think others too :) ) would be very happy if someone could explain the partitioning thing a little more (pictures, which program, etc..). I cant get it working due to the partitioning.

How did you do it? Even i use Ubuntu 11.04 but when i try to copy the files to my second partition in Sd card in Ubuntu its not allowing me to write files,its giving "You need ROOT permission for that" .Please tell me the ways to solve it!!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] prokshit:
why guys what happened?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] milli133:
Did you manage to get to the Android startscreen? Or to GUI?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:

sameway you booted first tim

press and hold call button
[Bada Software and Hacking General] rags_2489:
need a lil help....what should be the size of the ext2 partition??

and after booting android will the first sd card partition will behave as my card or the ext2 partition??

if 2nd patition is only used to keep android filesystem then would 150-200mb would suffice??

and can u plz post filesystem on mediafire too....
[Bada Software and Hacking General] civil.scholar:
is linux necessary ? or can i use windows to do it?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lalu:
:-<... this is so not working :(... tried both zImage files and nothing happens when I keep the call button pressed. When I do the unplug battery / USB cable / hold call button / insert battery the bootlogo appears, then it disappears and it boots into Bada. Any idea, please?...
[Bada Software and Hacking General] psycoy:
... No ... "You need ROOT permission for that"

... I use Gparted and use on a primary partition of 2 GB microSD full for ext2 ... then insert the contents of the folder filesystem in the microSD ... by psycoy
[Bada Software and Hacking General] psycoy:
... your device not read the microSD ... the galaxy bootlogo appears even without the microSD ... then try to partition the microSD ext2 ... by psycoy
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adi4u4882:
Is'nt it required to partition the SD card and put the files in the second partition? And did it work(GUI)for you that way? Even if the card is only single partitioned its not allowing me to copy files to any Ext2 file system? Why is that? Any codes i should use?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
psycoy

so you got it working? how far does it work for you
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lalu:
Hmmm... My microSD is made out of one fat32 partition and one ext2 partition. On the ext 2 partition I pasted the CONTENT (not the folder itself) of "filesystem" and ejected it. My first doubt is that booting by holding the power button does not work at all, only, the USB cable / battery / call button trick. Is it possible that I did anything wrong in the partitioning process (did it at least 3 times)? Or is it possible that the bootloader or the FOTA in the tutorial are older files? It's really strange :-?... Thanks for your answer.

For the people that have problems with read-only ext2 partition on the miroSD card, press alt+f2, then type in the search bar gksudo nautilus, and you should be able to see your ext2 partition (to differentiate it from the fat32 one, if you have it, you will notice that in the ext2 folder you will find a folder called lost and found), and you should be able to paste the files. If not, eject the card and try again.

Now I'm stuck at the bootlogo... so yes, most probably it is a microSD card reading problem. I also tried formatting it on FAT32 and making a new folder called android, in which I places the contents of the filesystem folder, and still nothing. Just stuck at bootlogo. Still... why can't I boot while holding call button only?...

OK, bootloader problem solved. Caused by me being idiotic and not holding the power button as well :))
[Bada Software and Hacking General] zmajster01:
Hmm, make a video tutorial. One video is better than thousands words :)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] herandy:
so I checked the partition again and there where some new files in there? just wondering. does it take a lot of time the first time cause my wave is doing that?(making/extracting files)

one more thing the zimage that was supposed to make wave boot into android without the usb cable is not uploaded the link is for the old one I suppose.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
Its the FOTA that makes it boot without USB

not kernel
[Bada Software and Hacking General] carbonbadu:
guys please tell me how to combine the 2 partitions of SD card
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lalu:
AFAIK, first you must create a fat32 partition and then an ext2 partition in which you place the contents of the filesystem folder. Am I wrong? If so, please correct me. *Note that I didn't manage to boot.*
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
Oh yes

but shadowas1 says it should be fat16 not fat32

so try that out too

the filesystem should be in ext2 though

@carbon

delete the partitons and reformat
[Bada Software and Hacking General] herandy:
sorry you're right but it doesn't work without the usb cable all the same

but it does work if you press power button then call button immediately
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
Yeah

the tut says to press and hold power and call button
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adi4u4882:
Guys when i do this(Procedure) i get a white screen first and then a galaxy logo and after sometime it boot's into bada os?!?!

Here is what i did(Procedure):

1'st Partition- 947MB(FAT)-Contains No files

2'nd Partition- 933MB(Ext2)-Contains only 'filesystem's extracted files

Internal-(not sure of the size)(FAT) -galaxyboot(sbl.bin and Zimage(given by anghelyi)

And after the first BOOT it shows some files and folders like:

Both 1'st Partition and internal contains these files and folders:

.Trash-1001(parent folder)

-info(sub-folder)-sbl.bin.trashinfo(file)

-files(sub-folder)-sbl.bin(file)

Thanks in Advance! :D
[Bada Software and Hacking General] wilmervanheerde:
The trash-1001 folder is from Ubuntu, i think..
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adi4u4882:
No ,When android is trying to boot only iam getting those files! I tried deleting them but the next time i try to boot android also iam getting them.

hey guys As gammaboy said ,, i did all that was given but its already 15 min that the screen has appreaded and its still not moving forward.. any help !!! ??
[Bada Software and Hacking General] baza14:
Me too.:D I am sure, its ext2.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] prokshit:
i also renamed it to uibackup also.. stil not able to get past the boot screen.. any help would be greatly apprecaited and i also want to know is it also effects becuase i hav a crappy memory card.. with low read and write speed..? and does should there be a minimum of the internal memory be free or something like that?? plzz.. help!!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] zogu:
For all people who has a problem with partitioning SD card.

1. Download any of gparted distributions (I like hirens boot cd)

2. I hope that booting in gparted and using it is not a problem.... Remember device name from gparted (for example /dev/sdb2 for ext partition or /dev/sdb5 if it is logical, that depends from system to system, as i sad remember name you will need it later)

3. Close Gparted (only program, not live cd)

4. Open terminal window

5. In hirens boot cd you are root by default, if you are not then execute sudo su, usually there is no password for live cd, if there is one you can find it in some liv cd readme.txt

6. execute mkdir /mnt1

7. execute chmod a+rwx /mnt1

8. execute mount -o rw /dev/sdb2 /mnt2 (if sdb2 is name of your ext partition, remembered from gparted)

8. Copy with file manager needed files.

9. Files can be also copied with cp command from terminal (before cp execute sudo su for root access): cp -R something /mnt1/ , if anything else does not work this will work. Unpack needed files with gui and then it can be copied from terminal.

For users with normal Linux distribution in all repositories there is terminal file manager "midnight commander". To install it from ubuntu or debian: sudo apt-get install mc, sudo mc and then everything can be unpacked and copied from this program.

There is ext2 plugin for total commander, I don't now does it have read access or read/write access for ext partitions, but it does not hurt to try.

I did not try android in my wave because it is pointless without modem and i want to install it in phone not on a card and to forget bada until full google support and skype, but this is for some other thread.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
If the partitoning is done right and if the files are copied properly it should work

there is some issue with permissions too

read shadows guide to learn to use ubuntu properly while doing this
[Bada Software and Hacking General] prokshit:
kadavil

i m begging u .. plz tell me how to partion i follwed the guide of the shadow and still i cant,, i m sitting from morning 10 and still havent got it working.. plz bro..!! i sincerly request u !! :(
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
I havent tried it since i have wave II

shadows guide seems to be working for those who followed it properly

try contacting those who were sucessful

if ur booting bada it means the filesystem isnt being accessed

after the galaxy screen comes and goes

immedeately press and hold the power and call button

its it again shows galaxy it means your filesystem is not being accesed since the ubuntu part wasnt followed properly

hey guys!

so i understood that bada is booting after galaxy screen because the filesystem cant be found but i dont know what i did wrong while partioning....

i have a big bar in gparted with around 14 gb and fat32 on the left side and the right side with a 1gb ext2 partion where the filesystem is but still it seems that the ext2 partion cant be accessed while booting the android kernel...

any help?

HEY guy,from your video, I wana to know how large is the RAM? maybe the total is 256m? confusing^:p THKX
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:

you guys are booting to BADA because you got the Ubuntu part wrong, have added explanation

Guaranteed to boot now if you read each line properly!!

so read FIVE times before asking questions
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lanluckez:
I have followed all the steps, and i only can see Bada screen after Galaxy S screen. Step by step. Two partitions, in order, first the fat one and second the ext2 one. I have put filesystem files in ext2 (root files, not folder) and zimage and sbl into internal memory. ¿?¿?:confused:
[Bada Software and Hacking General] abd28xd:
hey how much memory does amdroid neeed on the card i have some data in it of BADA OS do i have to erase it??

i have a 512 mb card will it do the thing!!?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
@lanluckez

did you use ubuntu?

did you do the sudo su, sudo nautilus, sudo sync?

@abd28xd

i dont think so

thats too small
[Bada Software and Hacking General] vivekforbes:
Kadavil update tutorial with these steps while copying..

1. Power button in in top right and not left..

2. Once you finished partiton open terminal and type "sudo file-roller" it will open the archeive manager.

3. Use archeive manager to extract files from badadroid.tgz -> filesystem.tgz -> You need to extract 5 folders(system,lfs,dbdata,data,cache..select these 5) to ext2 drive directly.

4. once you done type "sudo nautilis".it will open explorer then go and rename ui to uiback.

5. Now type "sudo sync" and go boot android..
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
Done!! thanks
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
help needed here,

here what i have done:

1) flashed phone with bootloader and fota files given in first post.

2) created a folder name galaxyboot in phones memory. and copied zimage and sbl.bin into this folder.

3)now login in ubuntu as root user. created two partions on the card using gparted, first one is fat16 file system and another one is ext2 file system.

4)copy content of filesystem into ext2 partation.

5)removed required apk as stated in shadowAS post.

6)renamed ui to uiback

after doing all this step i get galaxy bootscreen logo which remains for few seconds and then BADA boots instead of android. in which step i went wrong??
[Bada Software and Hacking General] rags_2489:
do it as root user

format internal memory also with fat.

just keep galaxyboot folder in it.

do the partitioning.

first of all dont extract and copy..directly extract from badadroid.tgz->filesystem.tgz->filesystem->contents to the ext2 partition

rename ui as uibackup

copy apks somewhere and delete(shift+delete) from ext2 and a file in system/lib called libswype.so copy and delete that as well.

"IMP" dont unplug phone...directly switch it off..if u unplug bada default folders will be on memory card and internal memory..

hten before phone starts to charge in off mode unplug

then press end call and just after a sec press pick call and keep holding both of em until u see a flick in screen then leave all the buttons...that should do it
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
i am still getting same problem. i have done partioning and copying files as root user. also i have used a memory card reader so and directly booted android after inserting card in phone. i have also deleted apk and so file stated by you.

what i havenot done is formatting internal phone memory. i will do that and report back. but i think phones internal mem should not create any problem
[Bada Software and Hacking General] oSandmaNo:
Dont format your internal memory!!!

Read the tutorial once more

its n00b friendly now. follow the steps exactly, dont skip ANY step
[Bada Software and Hacking General] zmajster01:
Finaly, boot to Android. As Kadavil says, DO ALL IN LINUX! And extract file directly to ext2 partition on your SD card (first is fat32, second ext2) Don't do it in WIN or else program in Win!

I do it on two different card and every successfully.

Use Terminal. I use only "sudo sync" command every after extracting, deleting or rename file in filesystem folders. After this i use "safety remove drive". Wave is pluged as mass drive, but i also try memory card reader too.

First start of Android is longer then other, maybe "installing"? :) And boot time is depending from your SD card, so be patient :) If you see Samsung animation, you won.

and....sorry for my english

Good Lord... thanks kadavil, I followed everything exactly, I am on fw XXJK1 and it finally works. You were right, I wasn't using "sudo file-roller". I apologize for the wasted thread space :)). It got past the boot logo and now I am at the boot animation, hoping it will keep booting to the GUI :D. Thank you very much!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
Don't worry it will:D

it takes about 10 minutes to finish first boot
[Bada Software and Hacking General] tom112112:
Yes, I have that problem too. It's really annoying
[Bada Software and Hacking General] garthek:
are you saying that you are running this android on a JK1 firmware?

What changes have you make in order to keep JK1? and... Have you been able to maintain your installed JK1 applications after installation of android?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adi4u4882:
You cannot maintain the applications because when flashing using the .fota file and boot files it will wipe out your games and apps.If you want try using an application called WaveBackup.They say it can save all your games and apps.

Here is the link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28356005/WaveBackupBeta.zip#

Use USB Debugging and select the correct port and Backup! :D
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
yes you can keep your bada apps just copy your entire SD card before formatting and partitioning and then copy them back to the fat 16 or 32 partition after finishing

nothing will be lost at all
[Bada Software and Hacking General] adi4u4882:
No it wont work that way! The Shortcut in the menu will be deleted and there will be no way to launch the apps even if the files exists.If you want try it and see! :D
[Bada Software and Hacking General] lanluckez:
Adi4u4882, i have done everything again and now I can boot Android on my Wave, but isn't faster than yours. It is normal that first boot be slow? I move through the menus and the fist times was so stressful. Now it goes faster, but it loads the screens so slow.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
i already did it:D

i have JPKC1 on my phone and have about 9 pages of installed apps and games before android and after it they are still working and the shortcuts weren't removed

You can use an other linux distribution if you want;

if you don't want to install ubuntu you can download and run the livecd;
