That wont help when the kernel cant even start USB interface.

/cache would be better because mtd partitions are exposed much earlier than mmc device.

Yes, not sure where PBL is but probably you are right. But SBL is in amss/amss_fs partitions as far as I know (qcom little kernel bootloader).

[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Is there any chance to dump SBL?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CosmicDan:
Probably. We can map it with mtdparts and dd from it via raw sysfs mtd path (not block device) but what would you do with it? Impossible to write-back changes without SIN signature.

LK Bootloader is opensource, we can freely recompile it. But we have no way of flashing the new ELF/MBN, and even if we could, how to get little output? That's beyond me.

Primary focus is to get knowledge what was changed in security settings- s1tool fails for devices produced 12W14 and later. And, of course, to check how much Sony follows Qualcomm guidelines (is s1boot a "standalone" binary or if it's two-part- Qualcomm's QCSBL + Sony's OEMSBL)

debug console on MK16i

Hey,

just FYI...

We got serial console on MK16i boards now.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37660319&postcount=76

This might give the opportunity to see kernel boot message from the very beginning... no need for ADB here.

If you need details, please ask in my thread, because this will be off topic here...

EDIT:

Thanks for all the "Thanks"!

BTW, i published the serial testpoints for LT15i/LT18i as well.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37701777

Approved by hillbeast, thanks a lot!

He also gave the 3.4 kernel a try.

As expected the kernel won't start up, because essential things are still missing

Hopefully this may push things a little ;)

AW: [development]-kernel 3.4-freexperia

Must they do this? Do they get money for that? Blame Sony for that. Not FXP!

Without them you have only ICS on your device

Sorry to be OT, but sometimes I don't know what some really think.... :-$
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CosmicDan:
Any idea where I might find them on zeus board? I am yet to take it apart and have a look. How did you find this info? Did you trace the tracks and match them to IC pins or something? Because I don't want to manually probe every testpoint I find haha.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] scholbert:
Hi CosmicDan!

No, unfortunately the arrangement/location of testpoints is little different on the Play device.

You could start by excluding testpoints though.

As for the mk16 platform, i made my own conclusions and had a lucky hand :cool:

I did not trace any tracks, to follow my idea/procedure you may have a look here:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Langes:
This is a true development thread for a 3.4 base kernel for our devices. There will be no releases on this thread. Once the development is done, FXP and/or other kernel developers all over will be able to use this base for their releases. This might happen 6 months from now, but might even never happen. It all depends on how many developers in the team can keep at it, this project is huge.

:Hats of to the dev team:

Please only comment on development threads if you have something to contribute. Its annoying to get a notification of a user that doesn't help or give any ideas.

If you guys need advices or help you should ask arco68 and ivendor, they build the 3.0.66 kernel and make life easier for educk or biaggio to get 3.4 kernel for galaxy s plus, and the s plus was left from samsung to gb 2.3.6.

Actually paul678 is doing a great job with his test kernels, but this is the limitation of 2.6.x kernels, with 3.x kernel you can have up to 395mb user ram with 480p(which is great in my opinion) and 370-375 with 720p

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javul:
Hi! i have just bought a galaxy s3! Before i had a galaxy s scl and im familiarized with custom kernels and roms but with this phone i feel like newbie. I see there are a lot of custom kernels and i wanted to know if to put a new kernel is like before. Put the tar file in pda and flash with odin.

Another question is what differences are with stock kernels.

Also i would like to ask about roms, which is the best rom actually?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rl421403:
Now most of the kernels can be flashed with cwm recovery. Just go through kernel instructions and how to flash on your phone.

There are lots of different kernels available. You can find the features and difference in their topic itself. Some are good for performance, some are for speed, some are battery life. You will have to find best kernel for youself. I am using syiah 1.8.

Best Rom discussions are prohibited here. You can try different rooms and see which one works for you. If you like vanilla android then try cm10.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aviphysics:
I have a d2tmo GS3 and been running CM10 nightlys. It is alright but I sometimes have BT trouble between the phone and the car and so I am looking to see if there is another ROM that will work better for me.

I am mainly looking for a relatively vanilla JB ROM. Don't need or care to much about fancy stuff. Its ok if it has extra features as long as they don't cause problems. More than anything else, I want a stable ROM that works correctly.

There are two problems I am having with BT.

The first is that the phone does not always auto connect for music with my car. It used to also have trouble connecting for phone, but a recent nightly build seems to have fixed that.

The second is that when it does connect, it automatically starts playing a random file (it did this with the stock ROM as well). For some reason my Nexus S didn't do this with either ICS or JB vanilla Android. My understanding is that this is cause the phone is getting an autoplay signal from the car. I am hoping there is an Android version that can be set to ignore this request.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] killj0y:
I'm actually having the same problem with auto-connect I have a thread going as well. I am running wicked JB which is TW based so close to stok and thats my only problem so far :(

Just to be clear, when I say "vanilla JB" I mean JB like google intended, not neccesarilty GS3 stock rom.

[Windows 8 General] p2kmafia:
so a month after upgrading to windows 8 50% of the time when I try to open an app from the start screen it will open, not load, crash and kick me back to the regular desktop and the taskbar will be a solid color and then all of the items will come back. I think all of explorer is crashing and its getting on my nerves.

Also, my computer has started to lock up forcing a forced shutdown, but what's extra weird about this is when I boot back up it boots up faster than normal and everything is still loaded on my computer.

So I've decided the only thing I can do now is to clean refresh so I guess my question is which option of refreshing should I choose? I know the full one creates a windows.old file to recover the stuff I need but I was wondering if it'd be safe to use the keep my files option or if I shouldn't even risk it? Or if anyone knows of a fix (probably not going to happen)?
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
It sounds like your so-called "forced shutdowns" are actually putting the computer in sleep mode.

Make sure your system is fully up to date. There have been some performance, stability, and reliability updates for Win8 already. You don't need Metro to run Windows Update.

It's fine to try Refresh first, and if that doesn't fix things, go for a Reset. Generally, Refresh would work fine.
[Windows 8 General] stevedebi:
I had something like this, and a refresh didn't do it. I had to reset the laptop. I haven't put much on the laptop, so I deleted all files.

I attempted refresh, but after afterwards I couldn't access the internet from within the metro apps. It seemed to start with the most recent auto update, but after the reset I did the updates and everything is fine. What happened was that I was unable to run any metro apps at all. I could get to the desktop, but the metro side would be unavailable until I saw the taskbar flash a solid color. Then I could briefly go to the metro side, for about 10 seconds.
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
I'm getting this on one of my computers, interestingly it also has hdcp issues, im writing this up as a potential graphics issue, there are reports to back this up but nothing confirmed, if it is todo with graphics its not related to a single driver version, its almost completely random, this might suggest there is some conflict with driver, gpu, and whatever windows has built in for copy protection
[Windows 8 General] p2kmafia:
thanks for the replies guys. it's definitely a weird problem as its only gotten progressively worse (stopped these last two days, no problems...don't know what happened haha) but I've got all my updated drivers from the sony website minus the BIOS cuz that slowed the hell out of my computer running windows 7 so I'm just avoiding sony drivers as much as possible

Hey there guys! As the title says , i am a bit confused with this new android version for our kick-ass phone. The thing is , everywhere i look there are so many pro and cons on this. I am curently on CM7 temasek vers , and i am pleased with it , except the random signal drop and refusing to call sometimes aaand the all known airplane mode bug , other than that, which are fixed most of the times with an reboot , everything else works fine. Now , my question is did any of you guys (talking about the devs) managed to made a stable version of the new relase ? There are so many new things around (versions i mean) that have to be installed with i dont know what application through usb and things and not the classical .zip file on SD and install from boot , you guys know what im talking about. Anyways sorry for the long post and i hope some of you guys can tell me clearly what the heck is going on.
[LG Optimus 2x] Patrick Morgan:
If you were looking for info on the CM10 there is a USER THREAD available for your question.

you should do some reading and find out whats best for you.

if you want something stable and decent i would recommend http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2038631

make sure you smart flash v28 or v30 BB ril is installed with the rom. and you need to be on the new partition.

i would recommend to install Topo's v28 rom using his NVflash (this will set your phone up on the correct partition system, and will allow you to smart flash your baseband without having to revert to v20 roms.

you should be able to use the tool kit in my sig also to do what your looking for.

Carburano and Topogigi did a great job modding the rom and kernel, its really fast and smooth. i've only found minor bugs that dont effect the usability of the rom. and depending on your BB most folk have not reported any radio issues.

the only problem you will have is a nandroid backup of your current rom (if you wish to restore it) you will need to revert your partition system before hand.

and also make sure you take a Titanium backup of your apps/ games, and use the migration option to restore them to ICS, because, your current data will not restore properly on a stock rom. since i noticed your using CM7.
[LG Optimus 2x] frikou:
Necrowakker answered your question very well, I'm also running DjangoManouche and it's awesome! I only know about two bugs that aren't major ones, but I don't know if it has others. The first bug is an audio issue, when you reach the middle of the volume that's actually the maximum and if you keep going up it will start from zero, it is actually not a big issue because the audio is as loud as you would expect, you just have to leave the volume up to the middle, and the second bug I know about is about the radio, I think is only with the King of Birds kernel, when you turn off the screen the radio stops, but I haven't face that since I don't really listen to the radio anyways.

So, as you can see there aren't any major issues here, so I totally recommend it and it's faaaaaast!

You can flash it via the cwm, but you have to be running an ICS rom fist, so you can have the new partition and the new bootloader.

For flashing the v30a kdz, rooting it and installing cwm I recommend you this tool kit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2020737 But be aware, you must make a backup first (you can do it directly in the toolkit) of your internal sd card since going to v30a will erase your all your data.

This is the method I used to update to v30a: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35193678&postcount=5 with that same Tool kit you can flash cwm and root it, it's extremely easy.

Hope it helps.

Thanks man , i got everything i need donwloaded and even started to do it buuut i have one problme , after instaling a CWM vers for it and following all the steps now im stuck with an internal card (emmc) apparently that i can not mount and since i have my ROM zip there and BB thingy as well , i cant do anything , nor that toolkit so any ideas on how can i fix it ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Soare23:
I think i have kinda bricked my phone lol.

Heres what i`ve done :

1.Download everything i needed , the ROM , the BB file (V30) , the toolkit (AIO-P990 toolkit)

2.Added the ROM.zip file in the phone ready to install the ROM

3.Changed the partition size for ICS and such with the toolkit , everything went fine , i was excited

4.Gone in recovery to install the ROM and this is where the unexpected happenend , i couldnt acces my internal SD , the phone memory (cant mount emmc) or something ..and now i am stuck :<
[LG Optimus 2x] Soare23:
Found the soultion , apparently it was me all the time (thats new , right?) my SD card cant be opened for some reason , prolly because i got it from a friend and it just fitted and i was able to add things on it , anywayz i`ve used another SD card from some other phone and managed to put the ROM.zip on it and add it to my phone .. now its installing , yay :D so yeah , no more help needed , thanks for the reply tho guys , much love !

The backup is for data and app list, when you restore the apps are downloaded from the marketplace (be sure to configure your account first), when the settings, sms, etc are restored, then the phone is put in "automatic" waiting for your response in the marketplace(to download one at the time), once all the apps are installed then the apps data is restored.

You can select what to backup and restore, so you can do daily backups without worry, just remember, you can only restore with unlocked custom roms.
