S1loader is not open source to work with. You could hex-edit it if you had some easy way to flash it and recover from the countless hard bricks the bootloader development process has. Unfortunately this is doable via jtag only. My knowledge is limitted on that area.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -AsA-:
As for the bootloader, what could be the first real-time editor hex can perform a large change in the machine switched on.

When it comes to dual boot I can help not only the development of a test.

slightly going back bootloader to my x8 from the beginning she had unlocked (date of manufacture 10W40 surprisingly). I had not unlocked. To change the kernel or other heavy operations.Never failed to I managed to brick trying to do specifically

not worried about the phone I'm always ready to purchase a new...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilu1978:
The idea of a modified bootloader is nice, but it have two problem. :)

1. Modify the bootloader to add capability to boot directly from sdcard is basically useless because this is possible with a simple script in a modified ramdisk. Check the post from nAa, or search the thread about nBoot from feherneoh. This is easy and not need to do dangerous things.

2. The modification of the bootloader is near impossible because:

- the working of S1Boot is not documented

- this is a non-standard raw binary, hard to disassembly/decompile

- if someone can disassembly it correctly, need VERY HIGH skills in native arm assembly programming

- need special hardwares to revive the dead phone after all failed modifications (special cables, setool, etc...)

Don't forget: we had to wait more than a year to get unlocked bootloader (and this modification only skip the security verification), and this is working only with devices what older than 1-1,5 years.

I think if someone have these prerequisites, better if he/she working on valuable things instead of boot from sdcard (add fastboot support to bootloader, etc...) ;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. meow:
I was thinking of making nBoot work with JB (it didn't). If that fails we will come up with a new method.

It's almost impossible for us to re-write the bootloader.

It would be super cool if someone added fastboot support to our bootloaders.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobodyAtall:
Obviously I was talking about these devices not some Samsung one...

@sgt. meow fastboot support is not something that can be added to an existing bootloader. The bootloader itself has to support this protocol. Hence the only solution would be to switch to another bootloader which would have to be ported from scratch for these devices.

The job would require a tremendous amount of effort since not even miniloader works for them!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. meow:
Can we use dd to write an entire directory to a .img file? I'm thinking of something.

@nAa

I know. I was just unaware that bootloaders could be ported for our device (even if it meant no sleep for 6 months for the brave dev).
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobodyAtall:
Mtd devices are not block devices. What are you trying to achieve?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. meow:
I was thinking of using feherneoh's nBoot, but in a different way. My idea was to somehow write the current ROM's /system to system.img on sdcard and the same thing with data and cache. Then install another ROM that uses the same kernel (JellySony for example). Then if XXX is present in /sdcard, it would mount system.img as /system (and the same with data and cache), thus enabling dual-boot. In a kinda stupid way. :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobodyAtall:
This is how my multiboot mod worked actually - except from the fact that back in those days we couldn't flash custom kernels and the whole job was done via the chroot/hw_config.sh hack.

The bummer is you can't switch kernels so multiboot between say gb and jb is not possible.

...where can i find s1loader in phone? can i pull it out?just curious.....:D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobodyAtall:
There are two options:

- Export all the partitions (I think the file is nand_partitions.c) from kernel. The mtdump/dd it.

- Use the mtdmapper module that is in the unlocking bootloader tool to get all the partitions to map and then dump it.

Both ways basically do the same thing and they both have a pretty BIG chance of getting your device hard bricked (even when you are in read-only mode).
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -AsA-:
moments and I was not about getting started ...

could be applied not like who has the support of the bootloader to fastboot just overwrite Motherboard ID to our x8?

How to fit just enough mutandis. While much is not known how to do all the operations ...

I know it looks a bit like the contents of the bootloader but I do not know how to decompile and vice versa ...

@ nAa my idea changes mtd block of the idea to always to switch on the phone it was long, but when all that has been exported to (600mb) RAM read and write speed that gave greater results than swap the card class 10 +
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Admiral General Aladeen:
Lol, no.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. meow:
I know we can use chroot. But nBoot uses a slightly different method. It mounts /system to system.img and the same with data and cache. If only I could DD /system and the other directories to system.img etc, the whole mod would be complete.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilu1978:
You must use images for the /system and /data (or dedicated partitions on the sdcard) with ext or yaffs filesystem. :) Basically the sdcard (with vfat filesystem) not support the file permissions, without this the system can't work.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. meow:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuit26:
Hi all,

I am facing a weird problem with the audio jack in my galaxy s3. Strangely i can only hear sound from one ear.. i tried several headphones and cables the only way to get sound on both side is to keep playing with the cable and trying to find a ''sweet spot'' or to push the jack only halfway.

i don't know if this is a common problem but i made the (stupid) mistake of buying i9300 in canada so i don't think there is any way to get samsung to fix it.

I would like to know if anyone faced the same problem and how to fix it ?

Hi, I just got a Note 2 and rooted it. I'm new to Android (just switched from iPhone) and I was wondering if there is any way to Overclock the AT&T Note 2. I just figured out how to get new ROMs onto the phone so I got the Jedi one. Sorry if this is in the wrong place in the forums, I didn't know where to put it, any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pick_A_Name:
Welcome to the wonderful world of Android. You are in exactly the right place to ask general questions. If you have a ROM specific question, you should go to the Q&A thread for that ROM.

As far as your question regarding overclocking the NII, you have to have source before anyone can add overclocking to the kernel. I believe there is source for Ice Cream Sandwich, but none yet for Jelly Bean. If you feel the need to overclock, then you should try an ICS ROM. I personally have not felt the need to overclock the NII. It has always been plenty fast for anything I've done. But I don't play games, so I don't know how it runs them.

Here are two methods.

1. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2001936

Flash it onto your note 2 in CWM recovery. Choose which overclock suits you the best. Use system tuner app from play store to change GHz of processor after you flash one of those kernals.

2. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1983658

This one is the most popular, its extremely stable. Overclocks your CPU to 1.8 GHz. Use system tuner app from play store to change GHz of CPU after you flash this kernal.

If you have questions, do ask!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Pick_A_Name:
Please keep in mind that overclocking is an art. Two devices with the same hardware might not overclock the same. One might go up to 2ghz while another might only make it up to 1.7. Start slow and make sure it is running stable before increasing the overclock. Use small increments. Also one kernel might not overclock the same as another. Good luck and have fun!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] topshelf95:
Yes, I'm pretty sure you can flash the Persius kernel on the latest release. Scott just didn't include it because he believes the stock kernel is fast enough. Just personal preference.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aaron_Woolery:
And where could I find the kernel to let me over clock to 2.1ghz?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] OverCaffeinatedHobo:
I really wouldn't ever go above 1.5GHz on a quad-core phone... are you gonna feel a difference between 20k and 18k when it comes to real world performance? Seriously doubt it. My optimus G was at 20k when I first opened it, its sitting at 17k now. No difference at all in real world terms. All you're doing is cooking your CPU. Please. Don't go over 2GHz.. and if you do, you should be able to start cooking eggs on your phone real soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aaron_Woolery:
Why so wouldn't you ever go over 1.5ghz if the stock note 2 is at 1.6ghz? And what's the name of the kernel that can over clock it to 2.1? I'm not going to actually use it on my phone cuz I don't want to risk breaking it, I just want to look at benchmark scores when using it

Ok so this is my first "Noob" post, I watched the video it was funny, so like the video said I search the website for my topic, I searched the EVO forum.

Ok so here is the story, today I bought a brand new Galaxy SII, on the Tmobile network. I don't really plan on doing anything with it at the moment. What I'm looking to do is a project for school with my old EVO.

Step 1: I would like to return my EVO to it's virgin state, flash a new ROM that would get rid of all the crap, or a way to simply clean out everything on there now. Right now I believe it is running a version of gingerbread CM7, I didn't do it, but I know how to flash a ROM on to the phone. Forum post, or websites, or anything to expidite this process would be great.

Step 2: is I would like to put a copy of backtrack 5 on the phone as a tool for a couple classes I'll be taking next year.

Just for your information:

If you want to flash a new rom, you have to flash a kernel that's compatible. So you do it like this:

1. Push rom zip (and gapps if needed) to sdcard

2. Boot in cwm and do a backup

3. Flash the new kernel (in the zip or if you can choose one, watch out: there are kernels for GINGERBREAD or ICECREAMSANDWICH and use the right one :p)

4. Boot in cwm

5. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

6. Install zip from sd card -> choose the zip

Reboot and you've got it ;)
