[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdamOutler:
You're right about the 2's.. it's probly a sync signal or something....ie...

00000010

However, I don't believe the UART is all consistant. Here's my reasoning. Samsung does not control the processor or the initial bootloader on the processor. I've spoken to some engineers and they are frustrated because things must be sent to Qualcomm to get work done on the bootloaders. It's highly likely that they simply change the bps of the UART to match the Samsung standard.

Thanks to Josh Groce at MobileTechVideos for the heads up on this trick: I was able to mount the Qualcomm Modem partition which I also belive to be the PBL as a FAT partition
