Re: [TOOL/APP][Dual-Boot][uBoot] Nexus DBB [v2.7]

uBoot will now create an install package before attempting the live install. It will back up your current boot image if an "internal" image does not already exist. The external image will be created from the zip but it will be cut from the package install process to prevent overwriting. If a u-boot.img file is present in /data/uboot, it will be flashed as the uboot image. Future versions will provide the ability to download this image. Release will reach market soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vange:
First let me thank you for this app, so I won't mess up trying to manually edit my zips :)

Just to get the procedure straight...

1. Install whatever rom I want followed by any kernel? or only lean/air

2. Install the "quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip", wipe cache then install modified "quantal-preinstalled-armel+maguro.zip", followed by a dual boot kernel?

If I want to change my secondary rom (in this case Ubuntu), do I just do step 2 again?

Looking forward for an answer, so I can try this dual boot scenario :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
Any rom, any kernel, modified rom, dual-boot kernel.

Right now there seem to be issues with the basic dual-boot kernels and Ubuntu, though. It looks like they changed something that prevents the way the kernels are designed to handle that specific rom. I don't have source to the tool that tells the kernel to use the Ubuntu settings to make the necessary changes, but uBoot should be able to run it shortly. That I do have source for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vange:
Thanks for the answer. I'm a little hesitant in trying out uBoot, seems like there is some manual editting involved...and not understanding what I'm doing kinda keeps me from trying. I had a look at the uBoot config, but that's all russian to me...heh.

I'll have to settle with your app, and hope I get a better understanding of what is happening done the line :fingers-crossed:

I bought the sku app recently and every time I try to run an app through the process it appears that it worked but if I try to flash it in recovery I just end up getting error. Once it was status 6 and the next time it was something else. What, if anything am I doing wrong?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
What build are you trying to run through it? There may be a change needed I didn't account for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
Recent xylon and pa. Doesn't the app just modify the updater script?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
Yes, but it does so selectively and if something in theirs is tripping it up it may not be writing the modified one correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
Are you attempting the dual-boot or u-boot? I forgot to ask that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
Dual boot. I haven't really checked into uboot yet.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
I believe I found the issue. It seems the updater scripts for those ROMs are long enough to overload the temporary buffer. It should be sorted out shortly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the cronic dude:
Nice I am also running into the same issue with AOKP as my first and a mod pa and mod gapps everything perfect in the app but a error/fail 6 in cwm when I try the mod PA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] payas0:
do i get 2 kernels ? 1 for each ROM ? or the dual boot kernel will replace the first kernel ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
Uboot is two kernels with the uboot kernel deciding which one is used at startup. Dual-boot is one kernel that boots two builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] payas0:
thank you.

so if i dont use the uBoot thing, and decuded to just dual boot say the ff:

1. flash PA as main.

2. flash AK108 as first kernel.

3. Flash Modded CM10.1 as second ROM.

4. flash AirKernel (coz its a DualBoot Kernel).

note: am i doing it right ?

question: which kernel will i end up with ? im guessing AirKernel will override AK since its last one I flashed .. right ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
If you're doing dual boot, you would flash the first build, flash the modified second build, flash AIRkernel. Your kernel will be AIRkernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] payas0:
how much space will be left on my storage ? :))
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
Well the system is installed on cache so whatever you had minus the size of your cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] payas0:
will it share the same storage ? say all my files, audios and videoclips on PA can also be accessed on CM10.1 ? and the contacts and messages ? or not ?

im excited to try it ..

It's timing out right after the permission section. The buffers are large enough but it still stops without any error. I'm going to attempt writing to more than one file and merging them at the end and see if that can get around it.

Alright. After lots of research and some editing, there is a good chance it's fixed in the newest release. I haven't been able to test yet, but the reader supports a MUCH larger payload.

It has an issue reading the entire script from the update but until I finish a project for my class, my device is unavailable for logging.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Technical:
Ok. Waiting further from listening from you.

By the way, the instructions video is very small and difficult to imagine what is really happening in the device. Maybe write down the major instructions. Also, I cannot understand which button should I click: uboot? or Yes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twistedumbrella:
You want yes. Uboot is a different setup. More compatible with two builds that are highly different, but wasted space for two that aren't. It also requires a special kernel and a different layout.

4.2 and ubuntu - uboot

ParanoidAndroid and Cyanogenmod - dualboot

Hi guys so i was trying to edit the nav bars on my Droid M and i got everything working correctly, or so i thought. I think i left framework-res.apk as framework.-res.apk (notice the (.) that shouldnt be there). So ive literally stuffed it up and im stuck on the Droid loading screen.

Ive tried adb, but it wouldnt show up on the computer for some reason. Im sure ive set up adb right and heres a picture of My devices but ''adb devices" still gives me nothing:

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2wcl0r6&s=6

The second thing i tried was making a flashable .zip with the required framework-res.apk in it. I thought i had it this time but every .zip gave me installation aborted.

I used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721680 as the base and added the framework folder and of course framework-res.apk. Do the packages have to be signed to install???

I just tried using RSDLite 6.1.4 and flashboot with the 4.1.1 image to restore it back to stock but that gave me errors. Apparently you have to delete some files in /system but since i cant get there im STUCK AGAIN...

EDIT: Ive managed to go back to stock with RSDLite and the 4.1.1 Fastboot files.

I'll be getting one off contract
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hella356:
For sure. GS3 wasn't enough of an upgrade, but the GS4 looks close to perfect, to the point where I don't see how they could really substantially improve upon it, although dual SD card slots, separate HDMI & USB3 connectors, high-end DAC chip (Wolfson, Burr-Brown, etc.) come to mind in terms of features I'd be willing to spend money on. There will certainly be limits on how thin or light a smartphone can ever become, and we're probably most of the way there already. I've figured for years that a 5" screen packed in tightly would be the ideal size for my purposes, and the S4 continues the mandatory (for me) features of removable battery & SD card. I've still got about 6 months before my TMo contract expires, should be perfect timing in terms of Samsung/TMo introducing software updates & the badasses on XDA cooking up some awesome ROMs.
