Thank you very much for this compilation of intelligence XD

I enjoyed reading it.
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
Just wanted to add:

mmcblk0p13 - osh

mmcblk0p15 - cache

mmcblk0p17 - preinstall
[Motorola Droid X2] nitwit:
So basically we're hosed until someone that works for Moto leaks a deveolpment build (i.e. anonymously posts it on the web?)
[Motorola Droid X2] donlad:
Yep that's exactly what it means.
[Motorola Droid X2] mostKnownUnknown:
True. But I noted only what I thought was notable. Also, the DX2 has the osh/webtop partition mmcblk0p13 but it has no data or mount point. A possible side project to get a dockless webtop to work for the DX2 from the Atrix or Photon. But I think there are plenty of other items people really want. :p

If that's what you got out of reading all of this, then that's what YOU and only YOU think is the conclusion.

Again, I originally wrote this as a means of informing people since many people reported findings based what they randomly saw with little to no research or thought. It's the same thing for every locked bootloader forum thread on every phone. So I hope this focuses people's thinking about possible attempts on this.

But if can't understand the above and come to the conclusion that "we're screwed", that is totally fine by me as long as you support Project Pudding, Project Cheesecake or any phone initiative to the best of your ability. I could care less if people have a grim outlook on their phone, Moto and/or VZW. As long as you take any available time to do something for this phone. Even knowing all of this for some time, I for one ain't sitting around and praying to the phone gods to start raining custom kernels.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
if this helps any here is the config file for the kernel. i havent looked at it yet but i just got it from my phone a few seconds ago

i started reading threw it and kexec is disabled in the kernel so we can forget about that

it would also appear that magic sysrq keys are enabled. would it be possible that they key is in memory? if so would echo m > /proc/sysrq-trigger be useful to dump the memory?
[Motorola Droid X2] mostKnownUnknown:
First, can you reupload that file and make sure it is ASCII text? I opened it and it's jarbeled which tells me that it's not in ASCII format.

Second, as soon as I read this, several questions pop into my head:

- Where did you get this file?

- Are you sure it's not in just the ramdisk? Are you sure you can't overwrite it with 2nd-init?

- How do you know it is something the kernel loads/uses? Did you check the seperate post about the compile code and found it's use there (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17424418&postcount=20)?

- How do you know that it is disabled in all versions (we have a few development SBFs and update files from Project Pudding and it could be enabled in there)?

- Did you actually test kexec on the phone and determined the phone's response?

I dunno. I'm not one to dismiss kexec on one file alone without testing it on the phone first.

Last, the signature check for the locked bootloader is in the bootloader. So unless there is a log of the bootloader, I seem to lean on dismissing every log file about a key unless you can prove that the bootloader logs it before the kernel comes up. At the same time, there's no reason in the private key would be stored on the phone since digital signing is done in the public key methodology. I dunno. You can try. It just think any log like that is for the many other crypto needs for the operating system which won't help us for the bootloader. There's already a means of pulling anything out of flashable memory (dd if= of= ), we already know what partitions are signed and the signature locations. I don't believe the private key to the signatures are on the phone memory (let alone have a reason to be there).
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
I got it from /proc/config.gz and yes its what is running its actually a .gz if you want your kernels .config run

cp /proc/config.gz /sdcard/

I tried to echo c to /proc/sysrq-trigger which you force a kexec but all it did was reboot
[Motorola Droid X2] mostKnownUnknown:
Interesting. I dunno since I'm not that familiar on the kernel subject. I feel like that it would've been the same result on the Atrix and their kexec project wouldn't have gotten as involved as it did. I glad that you tested it. But I dunno.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
I Don't Care What Anybody Else Thinks, Says, Or Does I Know 100% There Is The Possibility To Get Around The Bootloader. Every System Has A Hole Somewhere We Just Need To Find It.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
No one ever said there wasn't. All I said was exec was disabled I don't the gingerbreak kernel

"Burn" a fuse on the board, eh? ...So if someone just points out this fuse to me, and I go to town on that bad boy with a soldering iron, then I can overclock my processor, right? Where the hell did I leave my tiny screwdrivers and soldering iron, I have work to do! XD
[Motorola Droid X2] hapyman:
Physically/manually disabling the fuse would be interesting. But how would one distinguish which fuse would be correct? I am assuming it may be identifiable by nearby objects that are used to "burn" the fuse when done by software. Perhaps we should look for a combination of a capacitor and fuse that shouldn't belong together. Maybe they're labeled? Capacitor would be rated higher than the fuse. They're would have to be some other chip in between to trigger the burn action.
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
I like this kind of thinking. It's like walking up to a fortress only to see they left the back door open.
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't eFUSE a TI thing? Patented by IBM, but I've never seen any documentation (I briefly looked around online, brief meaning about an hour) that nVidia actually uses eFUSE. Maybe it's something similar but by a different name. Any insight to this?
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
if its patented could you just look it up?

I wasn't being a debbie downer. I was being realistic.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
how do you know they wont **** up and issue a kernel were we can kexec or some how mess up and the key gets out? either way im stuck with this phone for another 23 months
[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
We don't. And Im in the same boat. I like the device, came from a Droid 3, and much prefer the X2, but I hope you guys do get lucky.
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
Droid bionic and Droid 3 can get unlocked but X2 can't? That's bull. This is just lack of effort (no offense). Anything can be done by the right person.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
They aren't unlocked pal...
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
Im pretty sure that neither of them have unlocked bootloaders
[Motorola Droid X2] donlad:
I'm simply going by what's been done in the past.

Only way we've ever gotten an unlocked bootloader is by a released SBF file that unlocks it.

I doubt we're ever going to trick the bootloader into doing anything. If it was that easy, all phones would be doing so that have a locked bootloader.

As I said, I'm being realistic.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
Technically we dont need an unlocked bootloader if we can use kexec
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
And the current kernel doesn't support that. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
Doesnt mean that we wont get an sbf that for some reason has it
[Motorola Droid X2] mattchenzo:
From what I have read, 2nd-init. Is another workaround that wont unlock the bootloader, but it will hijack the system and allow us to change things about the kernel and stuff. Is this correct? It seems like there are currently at least three different methods actively being pursued, and those are only the ones I know of. Keep working guys! We are gonna beat this thing, soon...
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
no 2nd init as the name suggests hijacks the init process and replaces it with a new one. its the closest thing to replacing a kernel with out replacing it.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
While browsing news articles and stumbled on this

http://m.cnn.com/primary/_ad5lew-inC6HGDR8U

It says app developers have free unlimited access to dev phones at this office Verizon set up. Someone needs to get in there and pull some sbf files off those dev phones!
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:

Edit: try this

[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
Bingo! Thanks Tim.
[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
Hack password for bootloader.

This may be a dumb question, but couldn't we just brute-force the password? Or use a cryptanalysis attack on the password? This is for the bootloader by the way. Do we even know the Atrix's password that unlocked it? If so we could go by how long, and what types of digits (e.g. 0-9 ABCD... abcd.... symbols) were in it so we could know better what to look for.
[Motorola Droid X2] onefix:
No, the method described has no encryption applied to the whole file. There is simply a signature of unknown format that has encryption applied as part of the process, it may just be a hash, but since the phone is all we have that would know if it works, we would have to manually apply a "guess" to the phone, it would get soft bricked, we would then need to re-flash and check a new signature.

That's assuming that we know what Moto is actually calculating the signature from. If all they were using was a hash of the full kernel file, then we might have a chance. But if they were smart, they would calculate the hash from a part of the file, add in the size of the kernel, maybe even include some other things like the hash of certain modules and they could even have a hidden bit on the boot partition that they are checking. We would never know this until we were able to obtain an unencrypted version of the file.

Then you are talking about having to reverse engineer a private key from a public key. This would probably take centuries even with a distributed computing infrastructure (like distributed.net).

Ultimately, noone is going to ever "crack" the digital signature. It's better to hope for a leak or find a way of forgoing the digital signature check.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I'm hoping if/when the Google/Moto merger occurs, that maybe Google will force Moto's hand to unlock it.

We can only hope.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
If you read some news articles, Google is going to operate Motorola mobility as a separate company. They are not acquiring it for us, they are only doing it so they can go to war with Microsoft in court. Don't expect anything to change.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I know. I'm trying to be one of the more optimistic people here as opposed to realistic. ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
Dump question here but I'm just wondering, Why not rewrite the whole partition?

Assuming the similarities, couldn't we port over the Atrix bootloader partition/file and edit it to meet what our phone needs? If anything about a signature check, we could remove the "checking" and force a go ahead couldnt we?
[Motorola Droid X2] mastafunk:
LOL chicken and egg here.. we cant successfully rewrite anything without the proper signature.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Almost off topic, but could we take a SBF and switch stuff out to give us a custom kernel and stuff? My thought was if the signature check is at the beginning of an SBF then it would work, unless it checks everything for a signature.
[Motorola Droid X2] Staggo:
I remember reading about this somewhere- probably in the Atrix or D2G forums. We need to actually be able to edit the SBF and preserve the signature check. As far as I know, we cannot do that.
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
What makes you think this is entirely Moto's call? I'm fairly certain Verizon also has a say.
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
Guiz, cant we switch our phones over to the Atrix and then have the authentication from Verizon activate tehre then we can have atrixes and unlocked bootloaders on verizon. If not than can wii port the verizon qwebtop and make scrambled eggs that taste like bacon? I think that this weel werk of we can get the night devs and post a bounty.

[Motorola Droid X2] seesser:
fixed thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] soocold:
A stupid question bit it hasn't been asked yet, why can't we modify the SBF to allow kelxec. If we know where the signatures are, what's to stop us from comparing every known SBF, IE what are the differences in the data, and how does that make the hash key different

Tapped from my tweaked out DX2
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I like this idea...I have a spare x2 that I wouldn't mind doing this too, but here's the thing...

If we were to do this, the device would probably not boot because of driver issues within the kernel...

Next to that,

We would then have an attix bootloader and not a x2 bootloader. We would need the kernel source just to have our device "back to normal" with unlock bl.

So in the end, we wouldn't be able to make it because we would bee on gsm and not cdma... The drivers would never be the same without serious mods. Tbh, we have a group of dedicated devs, but that idea is too out there with out 4 to 5 months of constant work... but hey, anything is possible, that would probably be easier than trying to reverse engineer the thing.

Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
[Motorola Droid X2] xawen:
We may not need to modify anything...

If anyone has any knowledge of how Moto signs the partitions (specifically where the bootloader gets the existing signature for comparison) please PM me. I have something worth trying out, but I don't have the know how when it comes to sbf files and moto's bootloader.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] GreenSGS:
Dont know which convert tool you are using but if it's Chainfires app then ~15mbs are needed on /system.pick titanium backup and remove some (2 should do,I removed ebook app and mini diary)system apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
more like 8-9

but as you can see using SEARCH button on forums ext4 conversion is basicly useless/not needed
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elhennig:
I don't agree with you if you take long term use into account. FAT based Filesystems like RFS will fragment, hence ext4 has a big advantage in these terms and it's absolutely not useless.

It might be not needed as long as you keep flashing new ROMs every few days, however.

Back to topic: Free some space on /sdcard/! For filesystem conversion data needs to be stored somewhere while the partition is formatted with the new filesystem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
you dont have to agree - but also you do not own MY phone

hence you do not know what is my experience with it

and i had both file systems and have not spoted any diff

also am not flashing phone every few days

can you point me to some source outside xda talking about fragmentation on rfs/ext4 you tlk about ?? or are you just repeating what youvef read here from self proclaimed gurus?

as for the space use chlorine with google preset -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145707
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elhennig:
You are absolutely right, that there could be another problem with the last step of the conversion, as the ext4 file system might need slightly more space due to different meta data or block size.

But, he said there was no space for backing up the data during file system conversion:

So the error occured before writing the data back to the converted file system.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
so you say not enought space to backup data

I'm using chainfires tool. I can convert the system but when it gets to data, datadata and cache it fails saying there is not enough space.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elhennig:
How much free space do you have in /sdcard/ ? And how big are data, datadata and cache?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
This is what it says in the ext4 app.

/system

ext4, 25.1m free, 273.6m total

/dbdata

rfs, 121.2m free, 127.2m total

/data

rfs, 1.3G free, 1.9G total

/cache

rfs, 24.1m free, 30.1m total
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
he is asking for free space on internal sdcard
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elhennig:
So that makes around 626MB to backup from data, dbdata and cache prior to converting the filesystem, if that is done in one step in cf's tools.

Do you have more than 626MB free on /sdcard ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeraj15:
On the internal sd card I have 333mb free
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
there you go!

you must have 700+ (to make it safe do 1GB free)

Noobie question regarding CM 7

Hi,

I had a quick question regarding Cyanogen 7. I did try parsing through the threads but I'm hoping to get a few questions answered which didn't already find. I just rooted my phone and I'm planning on installing Cyanogen 7. However, before I do, I just wanted to clarify a few things.

1)GPS-I'm told this is fixed but still somewhat buggy. The current froyo stock ROM GPS really isn't all that reliable but it does work. If Cyanogenrom is equal to that, I'll be fine. However, if it's worse, that's a concern for for me. Can anyone give me an answer as to how it compares to the GPS on stock froyo.

2) I currently have most of my apps loaded on SD Card since I have the stock froyo. Will I have to reformat the card after the Cyanogen install or does it even matter?

3) Does the 3 button combo into recovery mode still work? If not, what are my other options?

4)Is Video playback still choppy in certain formats.

5) I've seen some youtube videos where people have installed the Voodoo kernel with Cyanogen and they've eliminated practically all lag issues. Does Cyanogenmod on the Vibrant have any frequent lag issues where the voodoo kernel is necessary?

Again, I apologize if my questions have been addressed before but if someone would be kind enough to help me, I would be grateful.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serendipityguy:
The only problem with this rom, is that every reboot you have to connect to data which is a technical inconvenience feature unlike the other roms. That rom is not as intuitive like the others. Once you get past that snafu, it does look nice and responds fair. Still has the cm7 / miui bugs and GPS is so so with other 2.3 roms.
