[Windows 10 Mobile] the_R4K_:
Hello everyone!

I compiled GRUB2.02_beta3 for armv7.

Added some fixes to make selection possible.

for its work you need unlock bootloader! (see wpinternals)
[Windows 10 Mobile] GeoffreyK:
Time to go install your favourite distro.... :)
[Windows 10 Mobile] maruf8:
What does it do anyway??
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
It is a multiboot bootloader. You can look it up and read more about it if you search GNU Grub on the internet.

It is the bootloader of choice normally for linux distros. Ever installed a dual boot Windows/Ubuntu system, and have seen the boot menu appear to choose between Windows and Ubuntu?
[Windows 10 Mobile] maruf8:
Oh yeah!! Now i got you?? So can we use it to dual boot android and windows in lumia??
[Windows 10 Mobile] jethro tarw:
I have MainOS and EFIESP mounted on a PC, how do I install grub onto the image?

-mounted using osfmount and extracted from the ffu.

-edit: figured it out.
[Windows 10 Mobile] djtonka:
Only if you have windows XP
[Windows 10 Mobile] maruf8:
What do you mean by that?
[Windows 10 Mobile] sensboston:
That was an irony. Currently and in the future, there is no need of GRUB or any other bootloader for this almost dead platform, no one will port Android or any other OS'es for Lumias, it has practically no sense at all and almost impossible (because of lack of drivers source code etc.)
[Windows 10 Mobile] maruf8:
Hmm.. You're right... But I'll keep my lumia as a digital camera ?
[Windows 10 Mobile] augustinionut:
So...how?
[Windows 10 Mobile] the_R4K_:
you must mount partitions, and follow the instructions

first need to make sure that EFIESP partition accessable from MainOS \ EFIESP

then unpack archive in MainOS root, and run as ADMINISTRATOR bcd.bat (like you do for phone)
[Windows 10 Mobile] augustinionut:
My bricked 530 cant go in mass storage mode. I will try to mount efiesp.bin and apply grub inside, then flash this partition.
[Windows 10 Mobile] titi66200:
'I will try to mount efiesp.bin and apply grub inside, then flash this partition."

????
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
For your bricked 530...what mode is it in that you are able to flash? Does it boot to UEFI? I have two 1320s stuck in emg QC-9008 mode that if I could get past the signature check I could save them, I flashed the wrong ffu and it won't boot since the RKH does not match what was flashed. I may have to get an ATF box just to salvage them but don't want to yet...
[Windows 10 Mobile] augustinionut:
My lumia530 is unable to find a bootable option after i activated reset protection :D

So i think that with grub installed i will find a way to browse to boot specific boot file.

First, after unlock bootloader he cant enter in mass mode. And two.... https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75197448&postcount=280

---------- Post added at 06:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

I can flash any mode. She need gdr3 firmware....
[Windows 10 Mobile] the_R4K_:
in your case i think you need check bootarm.efi and bootmgfw.efi and bcd ... (maybe some else because I can't tell about reset protection)

because grub running by windows boot manager.

for this I have two reasons:

first it's more safer.

second it's qualcomm bootloader wont start grub directly.(can't find boot option, when I replace bootarm.efi)

How would I set a BCD entry for the SD card slot?
[Windows 10 Mobile] the_R4K_:
if I get you right,

bcdedit /set {ID} device partition=D:

bcdedit /set {ID} path partition=D:\something

but for select item, need disable custom actions and need hardware camera button
[Windows 10 Mobile] the_R4K_:
I did few test.

Windows rt install.wim unpacked to SD without integrating any drivers: error INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE.

Windows rt boot.wim as winpe from SD without integrating any drivers: boot OK (thouch didn't work).

Windows phone 8 ffu converted to vhd and copied all files(include data,efiesp) to sd(one partition) without editing registry: boot failed (no boot logo, no bsod, just black screen)
[Windows 10 Mobile] jethro tarw:
have you done much with openBLT and EFIDroid?
[Windows 10 Mobile] the_R4K_:
No, for now...
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Ok. So I am having an issue booting a 32GB 1520, I might end up just using it to test as I have restored from backup.zip etc...and still no booting past the Windows logo.

Can you send me a Screen shot or post one here of the BCD entries you listed, maybe from Visual BCD? I could not boot to the SD card. What I did was raw copy another 1520 from mass storage mode to the SD card and try to boot. I am not sure how to boot another Windows mobile-like OS from SD card yet.
[Windows 10 Mobile] the_R4K_:
it's intresting, I will try to copy emmc dump to flash and boot it...

if it's will work I send you all info.

(sorry if I make mistake. I start to forget the language)
[Windows 10 Mobile] the_R4K_:
bad news(

I tried copy MainOS and data partitions to sd. then change it's names and uuids.

add new entry to bcd. and edit mount points in registry. resault: black screen and reboot((

as boot logo don't apear,I think windows can't load root. maybe it's INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE.( I don't know because BSOD not apear)
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
[MENTION=8335155]the_R4K_[/MENTION]

Can you post a snippet or paste the entries here anyway? That is further than I got and I need to start somewhere.

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

Actually I did a copy of every partition using hdd raw copy. The sd card looks exactly like the phone emmc. Would that make a difference?
[Windows 10 Mobile] the_R4K_:
this entry I use to boot from sd.

identifier {5dc4578b-faf7-11e7-aa2d-1c3947b79a68}

device unknown

path \windows\system32\boot\winload.efi

locale en-US

inherit {bootloadersettings}

bootdebug No

nointegritychecks Yes

testsigning Yes

isolatedcontext Yes

flightsigning Yes

osdevice unknown

systemroot \windows

detecthal Yes

winpe No

ems No

for set "device" and "osdevice" need connect sd to pc and execute this

bcdedit / set {entry} device partition = F: (if sd mounted as F :).

If yo make full copy of device partitions, it's have the same uuid and bootmgr can not distinguish partitions.

so you need to change partition's uuid's ...
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
[MENTION=8335155]the_R4K_[/MENTION]

Thank you.

I changed the UUIDs of the partitions on the SD card (8 of them) that were identifiable in Linux with hexeditor. I will need to charge the phone before attempting again.

On a side note, next time before I make modifications to the eMMC I will make a full copy/dump of the emmc while in mass storage mode. The phone I copied all the partitions from was a 16GB and not 32GB, and I am not sure what to check or how to fix what problems that may have caused. I can still boot this phone into mass storage mode, and the OS tries to boot but fails some where. I might try to mount it again in mass storage mode and look for boot logging, do you know where that might be stored?
[Windows 10 Mobile] XDASumiaki:
Ye because the UEFI image's NokiaBootMgrApp verify the integriti of bootarm.efi, and who knows whats more.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

SD is need to be handled by another storage driver I think...

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

Can you share the source for this? Would be awesome man!
[Windows 10 Mobile] XDASumiaki:
In the root of Windows folder... WITH enable debugging sure! :)
[Windows 10 Mobile] c:/Lumia:
people has found ways to do this sir look through forums its been done but no Linux installs yet
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Here are more details posted by this person on why booting to SD is not working as easily as hoped.
[Windows 10 Mobile] augustinionut:
I'm dumb :D
[Windows 10 Mobile] BlueTR:
So... I'm back here with my lovely 630 :D

I created windows rt installer on sd card but I can't boot it. I added bcd entries but when I select installer, nothing happens.

I think something is wrong with the drive letter or the way I created the drive. I used rufus :P

How can we add entries to grub? That may work. [MENTION=8335155]the_R4K_[/MENTION]
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Have you tried editing the cfg file? We can add entries to grub via grub.cfg manually like any grub loader. Whether they work or not is another story...

You saw my post above with someone who is trying to hint why SD card booting is unsuccessful?
[Windows 10 Mobile] BlueTR:
Yes but grub sees sd card (hd1, gpt1) and I think it may boot it.

No luck. I got "error: cannot load image" error. It's related to secure boot
[Windows 10 Mobile] prokakavip:
Does it work on ARM V8 lumia 950 or not
[Windows 10 Mobile] XDASumiaki:
In theory yes, bcs ARMv8 > ARMv7 (backwards compatible platform), But im not sure, you can give it a chance you wont lose nothing with it...just first backup the EFIESP partition files for sure, if you make damage you phone thats not my responsibility, its your own risk.

If you compile a GNU GRUB for it just do it, not that hard...

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

Im the guy who is trying to develop Android for Lumia-s! I actually got hard work with this GNU grub, i have got this to work on SDcard, I can totally replace the EFIESP files and boot ot from grub in safe to test Windows Bootloaders and to test the EFI/boot/bootarm.efi, and also replace it, I can chainload efi shell and work with srcipts on it. I actually managed to start EFIDroid UI app but it fails (atleast initialize the display and i have aromalib ui) and i need to rewrite it for useof a single .efi bootloader not an UEFI image, but this is for another time.

Now i actually almost got an armv7 / msm8226 Linux kernel to work on my Lumia640XL, it shows memory allocation errors in early init states, im working on it, hope it will work.

EFIShell fails to load kernel directly, shows Secure Violation, if it generated by the main bootloader (Secure boot) then i have a little more complicated situation, because WPInternals can unlock the Secure boot, but cant unlock the bootloader security in the Nokia bootmgr so IT IS A PAIN (why?). Maybe im wrong, and its only a memory violation i will need to figure out it for boot from efi shell to a linux kernel. Need to mess with the kernel memory adresses / efistub adresses.
[Windows 10 Mobile] BlueTR:
If it works, would it be easy and possible to port it to other msm8226 devices (630 ,640 and 730)? [MENTION=8852711]XDASumiaki[/MENTION]
[Windows 10 Mobile] augustinionut:
Messing around
[Windows 10 Mobile] XDASumiaki:
If I got it to work somehow, Im actually compiling a new kernel from Sony M2 D2305 src (mss8226 /cortex a7 same as Lumia 640), a set up kernel konfig with a limited functionality and and minimum settings, if it doesnt work i have sources from anothers (MotoG 2013, some LG, Samsung Galaxy Grand 2) and i will figure out.... + I now 2 new kernel for try out i soon jump back to Windows and see what happens (i cant use use sd cards in this linux dist something gone wrong yesterday XD also my sd card got fully formatted for no reason with the ESP partition on it LOL.)

SO YES, if i got it work! should work on same hardware too, but I only have Lumia 640 for testing so i cant try out new phone still i dont have more lumias.

Last chance is MSM CAF kernels / stock Linuy kernel with Qcom defconfigs... and need to set up a device tree from another sources (sony, motorola etc..) or the worst case... need to write totally news

[Windows 10 Mobile] viper-L950xl:
Excuse me, i dont know i can ask this question here or not, but technically can we install ubuntu touch???
[Windows 10 Mobile] nate0:
Technically speaking...maybe. But why?

Currently there are very few working ports and those are only for android phones. Plus those are still not completely baked as it seems. I had Ubuntu touch for OPO, and it really was not a pleasant experience. Are you planning to build a working port for a Lumia?
[Windows 10 Mobile] viper-L950xl:
I think it is worth. first, becuse Android devices, even the high-End category you do not have smooth performance, memory managment is awful in android, specially delay to run app, even with 6 gig of RAM, i worked with note 8 but that couldnt satisfied me, this is the only thing that makes me stay with Windows, but Ubuntu is a good run rate (at least on pc), although I don't have experience of using touch version. But i think at least ubuntu has new exprience and even more important that, it has not unsecure store with Thousands of Malware. This is just my opinion.

[Windows 10 Mobile] culot:
Have you considered cross-referencing the Windows 10 IoT BSPs for the Dragonboard 410c? There's one for Android, Linux, and Windows 10 IoT -- all on MSM8916. The Windows IoT is UEFI, yes? Both have fully-functional setups to run on the same hardware, so wouldn't that be a great jumping-off point for getting LK or Grub brought up.

There's also the leaked Qualcomm BSPs for 8x26, 8916, 8996, etc., so perhaps custom modems and boot is possible?
[Windows 10 Mobile] dape16:
Kind of OT but you have to be joking. Android phones like Nokia 8, Pixel 2 and OnePlus 5T are amazingly fast and smooth. I can't imagine Note 8 would be any different. Android has actually pretty good memory management nowdays, my Lumia 950XL on the other hand has terrible multitasking, and long app loading times. If you are using Ubuntu on your PC you are definitely skilled enough to avoid installing malware on your phone.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] nedalnib:
Hello All.

Anybody else have the same issue like me?

I have around 4 seconds lag during wake-up phone with double-tap. But only when phone goes to sleep with camera application opened in front.

This is strange.

If camera app is opened in front and phone goes to sleep - long wake-up with double-tap.

With power button wake-up -> phone wake-up immediately.

If phone goes to sleep with any other application opened in front (home screen, any other app) -> double-tap wake up phone immediately.

I have this issue on few last nougat versions. Today I applied Oreo update and still the same issue.

In safe-mode still the same. I have opened service ticket to HTC but I would like to know if anybody else see the same issue?

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] nedalnib:
Hello all. Sorry for long reply time. I still have this issue. Please see attached video.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pnawcdlo4vbvu2l/U11_DoubleTap.MOV?dl=0

see around sec. 00:22 Only DoubleTap when camera application is on top generate this issue. Other combinations wake up phone quick.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] hammered58:
Now that I have watched the video,, mine acts the same.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] zopostyle:
That's a "normal" behavior, on android when the screen brightness needs to change this lag always appear. I develop an app to turn screen off by changing the brightness and timeout times, and happens this same lag in a various devices seems to be an android issue.

So what I did to "hde" the lag was to add a screen with some info like day, date and time.

But on your case there is no solution yet.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] nedalnib:
Strange. So, why waking up phone with fingerprint scanner or power button wakes it very quick?

Why this "issue" can be seen only when camera app is on top? [if other app is on top phone wake up every time very quick]?

This looks for me like issue in HTC software. Not "standard android behaviour"
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] zopostyle:
Because camera change the screen brightness, the problem is in changing screen brightness and not the action that you are performing.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] nedalnib:
ok, this explains question 2. But what about question 1 : "why waking up phone with fingerprint scanner or power button wakes it very quick?" ???
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] zopostyle:
That one I don't know for sure, but I think that can be due to the way the it turn the device.

Double tap is controlled by "lockscreen app/kernel", the power button and fingerprint it android native code and kernel, can be that but just htc knows!

Did you tried to ask then about that in twitter or via support emaill?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] nedalnib:
I just made additional test: manual brightness, full level. The same phone behaviour.

In my opinion this is something in kernel / wake-up procedure. I raised support ticket to HTC.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] zopostyle:
Hum, nice ideia.

Ok, let us know what they answer ;)

So i just installed it, fully rooted with Refined Kernel V2.5 and have been playing around with it, testing for bugs and such and i must say this is a fantastic ROM. Pretty much completely debloated, VERY fast! And by the looks of it bug-free and stable AF. Battery life also seems good, tho i must test for a weekish to get a feel for it. Will update on that later.

Thank you for making this, you have made my life easier with this ROM as this is exactly what I'm looking for in a phone, no unnecessary bull****, just a clean and fast stable phone that i can customize to my likings.

If you are looking for a clean fast ROM, look no further you just found it.

How do I install this Rom? Do I need root? I've unrooted already so not a bother on rooting again. What do I use to install the Rom. Does "can't finding /misc partition" effect things?
