Cdna vs gms are not the only battle in this game. Locked bootloadrs prevent us from updating system with newer rom released in different parts of the world. Europe have newer gsm software and china newer cdma releases ever, so, gain access to these roms can make possible customs roms to everyone. Thjs is a great work and I really appreciate these guys that works to make ours lifes better. Regards

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
Epic fail on my part. Well while most of you might just think that this was meant to be publicity for my blog, it really wasn't. It was simply a post in the wrong section which happened because I had tons of pages open in XDA. This was supposed to go to that thread in the dev section which was generally against rooting. Sorry guys.

And yes I'm eagerly awaiting the release of Kexec! All the best kholk!

Tell us about some features on this hack, like:

Will be possible use any radios, kernels, systems signs over any razr? How will it work in basics?

Thanks man!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sevenup30:
I may be wrong, but yes and no.

Kexec is a bypass way, not unlock bootloader, it means we'll can load a custom kernel(that's the awesome part) over the basic kernel with our locked bootloader. But signature still the same, so we wont be able to flash radio or system wich have different signature from our device!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
In fact we don't need anything more than be able to flash alternative kernel....:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sevenup30:
yeah, whatever custom rom, it's just half of power without custom kernel, and with the work of kholk on kexec, i'm pretty sure he will release an awesome kernel with it :p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
If you will pardon the noob question/confusion, will this allow us to flash whatever version of android onto the device? What I mean is, independent of what I have on my phone right now, could someone, using the ICS leak, build a ROM and kernel, and using this bypass you could update your phone to an ICS ROM with an ICS kernel? Or are the two not even related?

:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] casaroli:
No. We won't be able to flash another kernel. We will be able to boot your stock kernel, then use that kernel to boot again another kernel, that can be for example the ICS leak kernel you mentioned.

You can boot it, and have scripts to make it auto (re)boot on power up but you don't "flash" a new kernel.

PS: you don't need a new kernel to run ICS. You can run ICS on your stock kernel (AOKP, CM9, etc). But I think it would be nice to run a community brewed kernel, so we get 100% functionality from CM9 :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gimpeh:
Don't hold your breath.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
True story

Yeah, seriously. Even if this was released tomorrow, I don't think it would be relevant for the average user for weeks, if not months. People have to have time to do things with it, which will take even more time. Plus, with all of the leaks cropping up, there's little motivation to complete this, since most people have been able to get some form of "official" ics, and have been pretty happy with it. Only those of us with Latam devices really need this tool now, and before too long, Moto will release official ICS for all of our devices, which will cut the demand for this further.

I hate to say it, but I think Kholk and his team have missed the boat on this one. If they released this tool 2 weeks ago, it would have made huge waves in the Razr community, but if they released it now, it would really only affect Latam owners, whose numbers are few.

According to Kholk, the team decided to push back the date of the release to make it compatible with CDMA Razrs as well. I think anyone would agree, this was a poor choice. CDMA people have a leak for their device already and being able to run the cdma leak by bypassing the bootloader would affect 0 people. Considering this decision most likely pushed back the release of this tool by weeks, if not months, I feel like it was more of a way to stall people more than anything else.

I really hope I am wrong about all of this and that Kholk and his boys release the tool in half an hour, but I really don't see this happening any time in the near future. This is not the first time it's been tried, and every time Kexec projects are scrapped due to driver issues. Prove me wrong, Kholk.

PS - I was asked in a pm by Kholk for money when asked if I could help speed things up on the project. If the tool is really as close to done as you guys think, why would the team need funds? If they released the tool, they would get donations galore. Again, prove me wrong, Kholk, and I'll gladly donate to you guys.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Well, I think this will make huge waves in the Razr-community anyway. Probably not immediately but a bit later on that point we will be able to use full features of any custom rom. And this will be much better than any official moto release, no matter when Kholk releases it :)

I'm in with donation, too!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
@xxBrun0xx

I don't think you are right... There are many more reasons for bypassing the bootloader that getting "some kind of ics". This all is not just about an ics but about that low level stuff... I personally would stay on GB if there is a really good kernel and I don't understand why everybody thinks that after installing an ics some magic will happend...

There is no need to hurry and no one "missed a boat" because our phones are not gonna to explode in 30 days so the demand for bypassing the bl will be here as long as we will have our razrs.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Results will come almost immediately sice kernels are other kholks speciality.

He have it done acctually, but cannot release due locked bootloader rarzs.

kholks owns a dev. razr with unlocked bootloader ;)

Yep, let's pay him a cool beer
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sevenup30:
everything's said. agreed!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shinare:
I'm down with this.:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Moto will deliver gsm ICS by june (last tear drops) this year, and it will come with bugs (for sure), kholks kernels and eternity team works will do the trick for us a long way before moto dev team.

Cdma compatible hack are a necessary demand since ICS leaks 'till now be from verizon and China (both cdma), don't forget that.

This will not solve latam devices lacs in drivers by the way, but will make possible flash better working ICS 'till 'really official' releases arrive. And I don't beleave we're even near from a flawless working ICS from moto, this is indeed our best 'investment'

I wanna antecipate here, publically my thanks to eternity guys working on this

I used to make kholks questions, never did anymore. Let the man work!

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xxBrun0xx:
What features will be missing on roms built using the leaked ics kernal? Would I like a more efficient kernal? Absolutely. I just don't see it making huge waves with the majority of users for quite a while. Again, all I'm saying is, don't hold your breath, good things take time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
This is exactly what I mean! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Why does everyone assume kernels are only for new OS upgrades? We can get (more intensive) overclock, camera quality upgrades, slide-across-capacitive-buttons-to-lock/unlock-mod, screen color tweaks, change the brightness threshold, overclock the GPU, charge our phones faster, touchscreen tweaks, linux ports, etc. The possibilities really are basically endless. Not everything will require months of work before release. It is not a waste getting this to work with CDMA phones either, as this won't just work on RAZRs, this also affects the D3, D4, Bionic, and any other phone that uses the same OMAP processor.

This is a big deal! There is no "missing the bar!"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Hi TSON

Have a question

Regarding radio, webtops... Will be possible to be hacked too? Will this bypass makes possible any improvements on this?

Thanks man
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Webtop is already freely-moddable. There's 2 complete overhauls already released by Eternity-Project.

Don't hold me to this, but I THINK radios aren't traditionally modded, nor do I think kexec would let you do so anyway.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Thanks TSON

Did wrong the question

Actually I wanna know if will be possible change radios. Today we can't due signatures missmatch. Like, using an en.EU gsm radio in a LatAm gsm one?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DoubleYouPee:
Let's hope this gets us a fully functional ICS for droid 3 before droid 4 gets official :D (and more)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
No, sorry.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
I assume with this bypass if it eventually get's released we will be able to overclock the GPU to 512MHz?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
That's almost double the stock speed, I doubt we'll get it that high. I could see 400 MHz happening, I think, though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RyanTX:
Fast charge kernel would make me really happy. I miss it from my Incredible.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Many Gnex owners run the GPU at 512mhz with no problems
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
GNex has a wider chassis though. Our phone is slim so it's bound to adjust to temperature worse.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
that is true, did not think of that
[Motorola Droid RAZR] casaroli:
I think we can't boot a custom (unsigned) kernel on webtop. Can we?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
With this bypass will be possible.

Remember the EternityProject Kernel for Motorola RAZR Developer Edition?

If you're smart enough, you can compile it for kexec using "eprj_kexec_mapphone" as your defconfig ;)

I haven't tested its behavior on kexec, but as soon as I'll do, I'll release a precompiled version of that one for kexec :°)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Anyway congrats and nice work
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
Btw. is there any chance that motorola would fix the way the bypass is being done and we would lost the kexec?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
@maarawoe

There's only ONE way to fix that and it's really unlikely to happen, at least on the RAZR and currently released devices, so, don't worry about that.

We're also actually waiting for ICS kernel sources to come out for porting it on the new 3.0.8 kernel too :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nespresso33:
If I run the script with adb or terminal emulator, I get errors like
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Everything has been tested for two months, so.... :P

Retry to install the package via bootstrap recovery and be sure you've done everything the right way.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
are you running it as root? - make sure that you switched to "su"

Sure, but I running Axiom rom well I flashed bypass not with bootstrap application, but with recovery which starting at every boot

Well, that's still bootstrap, it's just added by the ROM rather than the app.

At least at the moment, we're supporting only stock Motorola ROMs. I've tested it only on stock ROM.

It seems CDMA RAZR is acting very strangely. Actually in the ToDo list, the CDMA RAZR has got maximum priority, even more than CPU1.

We decided to release kexec anyway even with all its problems because we were delaying that thing too much.

Don't worry, we're still working on that ;)

P.S.: Our tests don't mean that it won't work on CDMA RAZR, so CDMA users are still invited to try it, but without any guaranteed result.

If it works for a CDMA user, we would be really much happy if that user would tell us on which software is he running the package!
