Hey Guys,
I have a wild idea and wanted to share the idea.
I was looking through quite a lot of bootloaders and I think we can use the wildfire bootloader and flash it on to our device. The thing is we might be able to intercept SEUS update and swap the wildfire bootloader into our device. I know what you are thinking how could the wildfire bootloader be any good to us? Well the thing it is compiled in ARMv6 as well as there still is the chance the configuration for the bootloader is stored onto flash. most bootloaders on ARM devices are configured via an JTAG board and create a configuration within the flash above bootloader code. usually this is exactly the same jump on all arm bootloaders. Developers later pull the first 1 MB or 2 MB of the nand and make this the bootloader image. which include configuration as well as the bootloader itself.
The trick would be to only flash bootloader from wildfire and leave configuration alone hoping it does the same jump to configuration as the seus does (which in fact is most likely)
So once the wildfire bootloader is ported and SE configuration is in there I think we should be able to flash it. The only thing that still could prevent is that bootloader is also checking if the new bootloader is signed by SE.
What do you guys think of this approach?
Im not a pro on Modding but i think it may work.
flashing only the boot loader will be a dificult thing.
and you may want to try to crack a sign... (yes it seems strange)
but think with me if you could make a clone of the SE sertificates and put it on the wild fire boot loader
you have a crackerd boot loader
BTW
Good luck.

i don't think wildfire got a s1 bootloader right?
can't, I read in the x10 thread that this method will not work because the SE bootloader has its own security code(that's what they want to crack). Basically if you swap the wildfire bootloader, the phone won't boot up because it will reject the code.
Geohot has bought an x10 a few days ago to crack the bootloader (I think)... so maybe it can provide useful information if he manages it.
wow... great... idea!
Let's do that!
Let's flash booloader from MSM7225 chipset without SAKE enabled, to MSM7227 chipset with SAKE enabled chipset. Lets burn our chipsets ... Who is with me? Come on guys!

//Delete if irrelevant
I somehow noticed that ZTE Blade has almost the same configuration with X10 mini pro...
Cpu: Qualcomm msm 7227 with ARM1136EJ-S cpu core on both devices
Adreno 200 graphics on both devices...
and many other similarities between them...
Info found on pdadb. net
Perhaps you could experiment with that...

Yup, but he won't get sued because of hacking the phone. It's legal to mod your phone where he lived (United States) And beside with donations of his loyal fan, he had managed to put Sony at bay for now.

Someone has tried with data interrogation? Some CPU's check security codes a bit at a time. (RFID is notorious for this) You feed the possible code to them changing a bit at a time checking which clock cycle the CPU stops checking at thus which bit is wrong. Toggle the bit and repeat until you have the code.
(or we could read the entire thread before posting, sorry my bad)
I am sorry to resurrect this post, but I would really like to ask one small question. Has the bootloader been cracked?
It's been a while since I came here, and now I see true dual touch, and I wonder, has it been cracked?
From what I understand, we have custom ROMs, OC and undervolting possibility and now dual touch. Is there anything we can't do with this phone?
Thanks all for your help.

The bootloader has not been cracked, but it has been bypassed. There is now a method to boot a 2nd kernel over the running one. But as far as I can tell, the devs are having trouble locating the root partition. (correct me if I am wrong)
+1 thank for the information. Well I still hope that someone is able to get the bootloader cracked, but at least this way some cool things came for the phone.

oh... okay then i'll won't do it..
anyone else got suggestions/tips?
since the X10 has quite different hardware from the Hero, it will undoubtedly be a *lot* of work, hardly worth it..
pleeeaseee do it, ive been waiting for someone to tryy...
it wont hurt, as he said, it shouldnt brick it.
of course i want todo it, but i don't want to brick my device
it wont brick the device as its only firmware not bootloader that gets affected. It most likely will hang and not boot and will requrie a wipe/install afterwards tho. Would love to try the x10 firmware!
ok, well i'll make a port, just simple as explained in the tutorial, and then i ask a romcooker to look at if it's safe, ok?
rightnow i'm dlling the decrypted version of the rom, and i will try to edit it, with some hero stuff, and send it to a romcooker before i will flash it..
first i downloaded the decrypted rom

not trying to be rude here, but if you need to ask these questions you'll probably fail at porting the rom... no offense intended. you cannot brick your device by just flashing the rom, for bricking you need to f* up the radio or the spl.
Sorry but im just a beginner and i wanted to try something, and i wanted to be sure i wouldn't brick my phone or unroot it..
When im home ill try to port it.

good luck with that, just be warned that the guide you linked is in now way a guide for porting. what it says about porting is the part everyone could have come up with. it totally skips modules, drivers and libraries. i wouldn't really know where to start either, and i have quite some knowledge about android by now.
don't let this stop you from experimenting! just be prepared to fail a few (or a lot of) times before you succeed.
btw, i'd love to see the x10 rom on the hero
Hello.
Even if you can port it, I doubt it'll run smooth on Hero, the hardware must be pretty gay for that rom.
Why u try to flash a complete ROM?
Only Mediascape and Timescape App is needed !
hf
because the whole rom of the X10 is just great!
when i'm home im starting the port, and i will upload the rom, when it's just booting on my hero..
and ye, i'm not really good at driver-coding and stuff.. so i think i need some pretty damn much good help from some proandroid-developers

It's depending on your CPU, for exemple on mine I have to set it to 650Mhz for it to be stable, and over 670 it's crashing
And I guess overclock + X10 rom would mean a HUGE battery drain.
hmm.... yea you got a point..
well if i succeed we will see ;D
hmm i unpacked everything, but i can't seem to unpack the .sin files :S
i already tryed to change the extension to .zip/.rar and tryed to open it with notepad, but it doesn't seem to work :S

Hello guys,
Here's another bootloader unlocked Razr and this is an engineering sample, prohibited of selling. The phone is actually a XT910 with XT912 digitizer panel as you see. I can buy this phone if any developer would make use of the software. Maybe this phone can help us to unlock our retail XT910 's f*ckin' bootloader.

you can make à complaint to Motorola for selling prohibited product ?
in the case of a bug, in HW or SW, he can say to you, that phone is stolen because not for sale....

@Semseddin
I could try to port kexec on the RAZR to bypass the bootloader.. having an unlocked device would help because I can take some parameters that are not exported and hidden on regular devices. Kexec won't be an unlock solution, but a method for bypassing the signature checks loading a new kernel (and a new initrd, perhaps with 2ndinit so that we can boot from another partition) on the currently running one.
I'm not 100% sure of succeeding, but at least I can try.
If you want, I'm available as a developer.

I thought kexec wasn't ever finished because of driver issues or something like that?
It is actually used on a large amount of x86 Linux servers (and desktops) for booting another kernel without having to reboot the machine itself (for not losing time and discontinue a service for hours).
kexec for ARM hasn't got any issue, but natively it isn't a kernel module. The porting work will require me to make it to be a module and to be able to manage the OMAP4430 kexec'ing to be possible.

Ok guys, i will go into negociation to buy this phone.
I appreciate that
any chance it will work on the droid 3/bionic since we all have the same processor?
If I succeed on the RAZR there's a possibility that it will be easily portable on devices that are sharing the same SoC.

2.Any news about JB? I think this device is too perfect for running JB
3.How many developers are already here? I need the approx number
4.Why no cm till now? If I am wrong then tell me.
5.Is the hardware opensourced?
6.Where can I find kernel sources?

Sup you are the second samsung guy i know/saw here.(dont bother about the sig is cause I like my warranty).
now big changes from samsung.
Security:
to install custom roms and/or recovery you need an unlocked bootloader(so nice of them).
to install a custom kernel via the same zip as the rom(like we do in samsung) is not possible as they have a security flag that doesnt allow this(its something called S-ON).
also if your device is locked to a network/region the device cannot flash any other regions rom(a little thing called CID).:good:
the stock rom/maybe any other roms /system partition is not writable(there is a module to break this).:good:
More info :
about CID and S-ON the solutions for them are rightly called SUPERCID and S-OFF.:silly:
supercid change the cid value to some constants list like 1111111 or 222222 or 333333(thus making you truly unlocked and able to flash any regions rom).:victory:
S-OFF switches off the s-on security flag and thus allows for the kernel(boot)(and maybe more) partition to be overwritten(i.e r/w).:victory:
there is a method of S-OFF called facepalm that may/should work for all mordern HTC devices(yes that includes desire x:good but needs to be ported (or someone preferably a developer should offer to be a guinea pig for jcase or beansup like jmztaylor was for htc one vx).
for facepalm to work supercid is needed(how to get it same as above i.e needs to be ported or someone preferably a developer should offer to be a guinea pig for jcase or beansup like jmztaylor was for htc one vx):good:
so you are all caught up with the htc awesome(and some ass) ness let the building begin :highfive:

yes in HTC u get it like this.
Bootloader ----(always stays there...... very tough to mess it up)
Recovery -----(Has a separate partition on HTC unlike samsung/sony, where it is part of the kernel)
OS -----(System/data/cache etc etc)
Bootloader/Fastboot lets you flash things(images) onto RECOVERY/SYSTEM/BOOT/DATA partitions.
Dont confuse bootloader with boot.img.
Boot.img is the image which gets flashed onto the boot partition. boot.img contains the kernel and ramdisk.
Recovery.img also contains the kernel and its own ramdisk, so in either case, if u cant boot ur rom, u can always boot to recovery.
Thats it.

your post is correct. But he is interesting in porting cm9/10 and S-ON or S-OFF doesnt matter for that. In either case, there is a way to flash custom rom/kernel etc.... so what we need right now is a device/vendor tree for it.

First FTF is just zip archive used by FlashTool,SIN files are signed by Sony with private key and they cant be modified.
Second Bootloader hashes IMEI with PUBLIC KEY,with is then bootloader unlock key.Thats why you need to enter IMEI on Sonys site.

1. It is way easier to copy a flashable .zip into a phone flash via cwm than to go through the hassle of installing flashtool & loads of drivers (which doesn't work on Windows 8, BTW) to flash a ftf.
2. I challenge you to break the encryption of your favourite credit card company's payment service. This is similar to breaking the encryption (128bit ??) that Sony has put into its bootloader signing mechanism.

And I think this thread is useless cause your what challenge to the developers is just showing you didn't respect them with their hard work!
I apologize for anything I did cause I'm just showing my idea
This thread is useless !!
why challange DEVS ??
NO kind of sense this !
Complete agree bro @Pandemic
It's no-sense to challenge devs !
You were able to modify/create ftf on 2010 phones (something was unsigned I think)
Bootloader could be unlocked without key or being allowed to unlock on 2011 phones (by a hardware hack with some cables)

Well First of all I am extremely sorry for hurting all of you.
Secondly, The idea behind is that I bought Xperia SOLA from a giant store in my country. The box had written VodaFone over my SOLA packing. I asked the shopkeeper and he told me your Phone will be perfectly fine with local sim cards. I came home used SOLA for a couple of weeks and hell yeah, It was ****ing slow. I couldn't believe what I have bought. Then i went to XDA for a custom rom and guess what my bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked the official way though all sims and network operators are working. Now I started searching for ROMS for LBL and coudn't find the one that fast and stable at the same time. Out of desperation, I challenged the great developers to atleast make a FTF custom kernel for me that is impossible for now. Accept my apologies every body.

Good you apologized mate!
Our devs work so damn hard each and every day just to make our phones work perfectly. Thats no way one can challenge them.
I dont know wether i should be talking about this or not because i am not a dev or anybody, but, You respect them and you get respected back! Thats the one thing i have learnt from XDA!
There is no need to challenge a dev, if they dont didnt do what you are asking is because its not possible or its very hard to do. The devs here work everyday to give us great releases, you shouldn`t make this kind of thread challenging theme, i think its useless.
But anyway, you can use custom roms, but not kernel. You can root your device and get some speed and battery. It takes time but thats why xda is here, everybody learn a lot here and use lots of stuff in config and so on. So read, learn and try...

Best ROM for Xperia SOLA LBL
So guys what according to you is the best ICS ROM for Xperia SOLA Locked Boot-loader ?
I tried Experience 2.1 by divaksh and its not that good. Although Divaksh did Awesome work. Its the Fone that is ****ing SLOW.

Its not the issue with the ROM's..... its the device itself which has very low RAM.....
I know many other devices with 512 RAM working great but these NovaThor devices have some issues I guess.
Very True
I might be selling my SOLA if there is no announcement for KITKAT for it in coming few months.
This is downright ridiculous.

The LG G3 recently got a bootloader unlock. It consists of modifying boot images in some way to make sure they boot. I think this is worth a look guys.
There is going to be a guide up on how they modify the bootloader signature soon.

It is not useful for an unlock, but may be useful for a bypass. They haven't stated whether or not it is LG-specific or Qualcomm SoC specific. If it is Qualcomm SoC specific, then it should work on the HDX as it has a Spandragon 800 and the G3 has an 801. I have been interested in how this exploit works since day one. When they release the method, I may be able to cook something up and ask a few people to test. An unlock would be better, though, so people could get into fastboot mode if something goes horribly wrong.

Well, I asked on their IRC channel and — sure enough — it's LG specific.

Ah, well, back to the drawing board.
The only other similar type of bypass is for the fire TV, which now allows for custom kernels too. Maybe someone can go ask rbox to see if his signature bypass is something that can be used?
