[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
It's not quite that easy.

It is the kernel implementing file system such as ext4, hence the kernel itself does not live on an ext4 partition (the bootstrap problem).

The kernel and the root file system in the form of an initramfs is combined into an image stored in the boot partition. The boot loader unpacks this image, creates the root file system in ram (tmpfs, rootfs) and starts the kernel. Because of this, you'll never see your kernel binary in any of your mounted file systems, and you can not mount the boot image because it's not a regular file system.

To extract your kernel, get hold of the boot image either from your device, or maybe easier, by downloading your firmware here from XDA or so. Then split this image into the kernel and initramfs using a tool such as split_bootimg.pl. Now you've got your kernel binary along with the initramfs root file system.

See thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1477845
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
The boot partition has to be the first one on the device.

It's probably a simple file system like vfat.

There will be a simple bootloader that only uses SOC RAM.

Then there will be a more comprehensive loader that uses external RAM.

The kernel may be in a single file or split between image and ramdisk.

On my device it's MLO, u-boot.bin, uImage, uRamdisk on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclestoner:
Hmm, sounds like I have a lot to learn...

One thing I'm curious about: does the description you give apply to a normal Linux desktop distro? On my Ubuntu 10.10 system I do see the kernel binary in /boot. And looking at the output of "mount", /boot isn't a special filesystem...it's just a directory in the root file system which is ext4. In the past on other systems I've replaced the /boot/vmlinuz-* binary with one I built, and upon rebooting the system that new kernel was used. So I guess the bootloader was reading the vmlinuz-* kernel binary from the ext4 file system.

Doesn't this imply the bootloader has support to mount the ext4 file system in order to load the kernel binary?

On my Ubuntu desktop system I see vmlinuz-* is ~4MB and initrd-* is ~8MB. Why not just compile everything into vmlinuz-* and have it be ~12MB?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
GRUB is a more capable and more complex boot loader than the one Android use. GRUB loads in several stages, and stage one is quite similar to Android reading a raw image. Then they differs, GRUBs starts stage two capable of reading real file systems, but Android kick-starts the kernel directly using the initramfs file system.

vmlinuz is the kernel, initrd the (initial) root file system. Different things. You'll need the kernel to access the root file system. In Android they are bundled, but in a trivial way so the loader can separate them itself without the need of implementing an entire file system.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VD171:
The kernel is present on boot.img on Android.

The best and constantly updated tool for working with boot.img is "Android boot image editor":

[Nokia Lumia 900] nitronsn:
Hello All,

I am looking for a way to be able to capture all the packets being sent/received using 3G/Wifi from the Nokia Lumia 900 & 800. I am looking for a tool similar to the Shark Tool on Android which I can use to capture *.PCAP files. Any idea if there is one available for WP7.5?

Or is there a way you can install a linux terminal and run tcpdump on Lumia phones?

Your help is much appreciated. Thanking you in advance.

BR

N
[Nokia Lumia 900] exiva:
Because you can't capture directly on the device, you can't capture 3G packets. But, for wifi you can use a mitmproxy or fiddler on a computer by setting the proxy on wifi to the mitmproxy/fiddler proxy. Just know if you install the SSL certificate, you can't remove it.

No.

No.

[SOLVED]

Just re-flash :)

Running Slim ICS 4.2 and Semaphore ICS 1.2.6s which is oc'ed to 1.2Ghz with smartassv2.

Only app installed from market is Apex launcher, which isn't being used anyway.

Whenever the screen goes off and the system reaches 'sleep', the phone ALWAYS reboots into recovery... and it's really annoying :laugh:

Any ideas anyone?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod2max:
Sorry guys, been busy so haven't been able to update this (phone was actually fixed the same evening). All I did was re-flash, along with the obvious other things like cleaning.

@slaphead20

OC was my first point of call, so I turned it back. I was left with the same issue, but interestingly with the clocks and gov set back to default it took alot longer for the phone to reboot into recovery after screen off and then sleep.

@tchindalia

That's what I did in the end, it's always my last option though (as it should always be).

First thing first, Hi, switched from Acer Liquid E to Nitro. (version 11a from Bell)

Want to share my experience on rooting last night, searched everything and can't find Superoneclick 2.3.2 and ends up with this freeware:

http://www.unlockroot.com/

Phone rooted within 5 minutes, bingo!

I realized also that I actually downloaded some of the apps from the same developer a couple days ago. I think this guy is good!

Enjoy!
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Nice! I must have bad luck because I could not get UnlockRoot to work at all.

surely it's very interesting...

I have no luck for Superoneclick from 1.9.5, 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 and I couldn't find 2.3.2 at all...

Thing is: it doesn't matter now for me, as long as it's rooted.

EDIT : ok, i've got the file, but strangely it does not contain 2 files : in the flex folder.

did you have two errors ?

may be did you take directly the commands, during the time i was adding these two commands (mkdir for both folders in flex)

can you check you have these files ?

adb shell su -c 'dd if=/flex/app/McAfee.apk of=/mnt/sdcard/update/flex/app/McAfee.apk'

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] en4cer1970:
Hello,

i am from germany...sorry for my bad english.

I have the update installed. the touch screen sensitivity is very good with my tablet.

The problem is with some german users, the tablet runs most even hotter than before the update.

I do not have these problems. I've noticed that the cpu now runs with 1,4 Ghz.

Cpu spy and SystenTuner have shown that. Acer sell the tablet with 1.3 Ghz.

Is this possible? That would explain the "new" overheating problems with some users.

Shows the programs correct value? Or give us Acer 100 Mhz more to run a better touch screen sensitivity? :laugh:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Randomwalker:
The 1400MHz is just a burst step. It will be used only for very short periods of time.

But since you are in Germany, too, would you pls run the batch file above, so peeps here won't have to wait until Saturday?

EDIT: As for the 'overheating' issue: does anyone now what the save temps should be as to know what over actually is?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] en4cer1970:
@randomwalker

contains the backup my personal data from the tablet?

Otherwise I have to make a factory reset.

where should I upload 170MB? do you have any ideas?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Randomwalker:
Hm, looking at the batch it does not pull obvious personal data, but whether any kind of personal setup could be inferred form what is pulled you might want to ask BENETNATH.

I had to do a reset anyway as it somehow messed up my Play Books (see above) which would lead to bootloops when on auto-update (my conjecture, reset solved the problem anyway).

As for uploading, I use min.us
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] en4cer1970:
So here is the file. I have also attached a xml file where you can see which bloatware is installed on your tablet in your country. It was too unsafe. I've done a factory reset.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Randomwalker:
So the first one is the pulled update folder (can't check myself)? Do you mind if I place the link in the OP?

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] en4cer1970:
yes the first link is the update folder. about 86 mb. With the file you can do what you want. But I do not know how long I leave the file on my dropbox account online. It would be better if someone upload the file elsewhere.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] BENETNATH:
