Look at the name of kernel under the 3.0.31 line.... that is a custom kernel, most likely loaded with kexec or 2nd init, in that screen shot. The link is Wang posting about getting the kernel compiled for his cm10.1 version and working.

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Re: 2/6/13 [4.2ROM Atrix2 (edison) CyanogenMod10.1 [a android4.2] development experie

Well, it is a little... Kexec or 2nd init, are a way around a locked bootloader that will allow the bootloader to load the stock kernel into mem, like normal, but kexec or 2nd init unload that kernel from resident memory, then load the "custom" kernel, all without any signature checks, since the phone is booted and past the stage of the bootloader checking the running kernel.

So the phone boots up, the kexec/2nd init kicks in and does a "soft" boot, to load the new custom kernel. Now some great things are more possible with the cm based ROMs.

The one issue, is which source code base did Wang use for the kernel... The ME865 is the only one with the kernel source released for ICS.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:

Past the M logo but stuck on a black screen. Have tried from asopa and a couple of times from stock, seems like an issue with the CM recovery as I couldn't install asopa from it. I have downloaded again just to make sure that I'm not flashing a corrupt file.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
No I think you misunderstood.

kexec lets the stock kernel load fully at boot time, so the bootlaoder sees that the stock kernel is loaded. Then once the stock kenel is loaded kexec will UNLOAD the stock kernel and LOAD the custom kernel.

The old kernel might hold an extra 5-10 MB of memory that kexec was unable to remove because it was in a locked part of memory during the unload or removal.

So it should not take a bunch of extra memory to do this, just that while it is happening there will be a significant amount of locked memory being used, but then that is all cleared before the new kernel is loaded and running.

In the early days of kexec we only had one way to load a kernel and it had to be during a fully running system, so more memory was needed since you had both the ROM and and the kernel loaded into memory, but with later revisions of kexec it is only like 5 or 10 MB of locked memory that the old kernel holds on to.

I hope you understood all of this and it made sense.

No reason to LOL at you. The whole mess of the bootloader and kexec can be real confusing and a big PIA.

Re: 2/6/13 [4.2ROM Atrix2 (edison) CyanogenMod10.1 [a android4.2] development experie

People, if this rom uses kexec, you all must be careful.. I have been playing with kexec for quite some time now.. I have the devtree meant for our device but things with kexec and our phone is really crazy..

Getting to the important point, if any of you intend on doing anything with kexec, make sure you make a backup of cid..

Cid is customer id. Its unique for your particular phone.. like the imei.. to do this,

in terminal emulator or adb shell type

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p19 of=/sdcard/cid.img

You can also use bmm.

Goto recovery, firmware flashing, backup cid.

Its a good idea to keep a backup of it anyway..

Why do I say this? As I mentioned earlier, I have been trying things for some time now regarding kexec.. it sometimes erases the cid partition.. (note its random and I have no idea why. One thought is that devtree isn't proper.. or maybe we just need to edit the cmdline and compile the kernel..)

be careful and don't do anything you are not sure of..

---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

Were you using it with bmm? Well if so, and if led was green, if that's true as well, the phone was booting by kexec method.. read the previous post I posted in this thread.. and be careful..

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

It actually shouldn't matter what your base rom is if its booting through kexec..

---------- Post added at 04:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 AM ----------

I never said it would work. I said it can work.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Hashcode:
If I was to guess. I would say you will need to pull the devtree partition from your own devices and put it in the /system/etc/kexec folder of the ROM as "devtree". The one that's in there is from a very specific model of Atrix 2 and may not work for every device.

EDIT: I should be a bit more specific. You can use the "dd" command to pull the partition from your device and chop down it's size a bit (kexec binary doesn't like loading a 512K devtree with the moto bits on the end).

The way you do this is:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk#p## of=/sdcard/devtree bs=60000 count=1

Sub in the #'s for the correct partition where your devtree is located. Then copy that file from the /sdcard.

NOTE: This also won't work for every device. But it is the *CORRECT* starting point. The kexec kernel was based on Verizon's jellybean kernel for the RAZR. No Chinese or Korean code was added to support those device variants. And they do like to mix stuff up a bit.
