[General Questions and Answers] SickPhone4X:
I am currently taking a college class on Information Systems. In the class, the professor has asked the question

"Does the OS on a Smarphone boot the system? If it does, then why and how is it different from the PC Environment?"

Given the question, I automatically assumed that OS booted the phone. However, do to my time as an XDA member and my many attempts at flashing the boot loader to install custom ROMs, I think that this is not the case. Still, in a later post, he has revealed that the OS "on most new smartphones and tablets" does boot the System. Is he correct? I trust the members of XDA better than a college professor :D

I think bootloader
[General Questions and Answers] SickPhone4X:
Explain the boot process

I have searched the internet, textbooks, and people that I know, but cannot explain this. Can anyone explain the boot process? For instance, on my Galaxy S4? I really would like to understand the process better, and have a knowledgeable explanation for it. Any help would be beneficial. It is my understanding that the boot loader loads the kernel for the operating system, and then the operating system loads the remainder of the programs. This is exactly the same way that a computer boots. Correct??
[General Questions and Answers] TechnoMonkey76:
That is correct to my knowledge, yes. I suppose you could say they all work together to boot the device, though. :p A smartphone or tablet is just a small computer. It has to go through the same process of booting as every other computer does.

Another note as well: I believe that the operating system includes both the kernel and core programs. The kernel isn't separate, but a part of it. As an example, Linux is the kernel, GNU provides the core programs, and GNU/Linux is the OS.
[General Questions and Answers] Kenneth Hinh:
AFAIK, in a partition table, he boot partition contains the kernel and the ramdisk. This partition enables the phone to boot. On the other hand, the OS is loaded into the system partition. So its safe to say the OS does not boot the phone ;).
[General Questions and Answers] SickPhone4X:
Thanks Fantassy123!

I appreciate your thorough explanation of the process. This is exactly the insight that I needed. So, basically the kernel is the beginning of the OS and the boot ROM MUST run prior to the OS? Is anyone aware of any "new" phones that do not require a boot ROM? For instance, where the kernel acts as the boot loader or is the first process to run?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wardlogan:
Hello,

I know this is a common issue, I haven't found any clear information anywhere I've looked though. I've got a M919 S4 that was OTA upgraded to 4.3 with MK2 baseband. Still stock, still unrooted. I ordered an unlock code from unlockcodesource, they give three codes to attempt, all of which failed. In the past, we would simply downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 with Odin and navigate to the UMTS menu and unlock from there. Now after the 4.3 upgrade with knox, all codes are failing and I obviously can't use the UMTS menu trick because it only works on 4.1.1.

Does anyone know of some not so simple methods to downgrade without bricking? Can I root, flash a custom earlier version image and earlier bootloader, and flash the stock 4.1.1 image over that? I've heard that knox won't even allow flashing custom recoveries, I'm pretty comfortable with ADB so that shouldn't be an issue.

If none of this is possible, anyone know a way to get any Samsungs with knox to accept unlock codes?

Thanks in advance guys
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] osugsxr:
Have you tried using chainfires region unlock , there is a xda version in the forums somewhere. You will need to root, but then trying the sim unlock code ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rlichtefeld:
You can root without tripping the Knox flag. You just can't install a custom recovery. That is what trips the Knox flag.

The way I rooted my stock 4.3 was this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2611175

As the title says, I was following the RockMyMoto guide for rooting the Moto X by flashing back to 4.2.2, rooting there to open the backdoor, then taking the 4.4 OTA. I did everything as stated in the guide, and it worked fine until the last step. Now, I can't revert to 4.2.2 to try again. Does anyone have suggestions?

Beautiful! That worked. Not too sure why, because it's the exact same thing I was doing haha, but either way, I'm back to 4.2.2, and now have a method for getting back if I screw up again. Thanks a lot!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ghamdia:
Dears, I downloaded the WM5 for my PDA2K from the subject of Lt.Cmdr.Ivan (thanks to him) and it is working just fine in English (I hanven't tried all functions yet).

I tried all difrent versions of Arabic even the one that comes with the ETen, please see the attached files I found suitable (even the Arabic Keyboard looks great).

Please try WM5_PDA2K_Arabic1.ZIP first, if it does not work then try

Please try WM5_PDA2K_Arabic2.ZIP
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ghamdia:
Dears, after more testing, I found this with PDA2K:

(Logout_WM2K5_5.4.03_HN) is VERY fast and reliable.

(Helmi_WM2k5_AKU3.2_32mb_v1.3.1) is fast, reliable, and looks great.

For Arabic use:

IMAGINET Arabizer Suite2 B342

The PDA2K should work just fine, but the Activesync still got some issues, thanks to My friend Life Dream from ce4arab.
