2nd-init - Motorola Droid X2

I don't have a Droid X2, but I am interested in helping out. If anyone can find me in #moto-atrix on Freenode. We can try using 2nd-init on the Droid X2. It would help with custom roms.

---

Let me know what to do and I would be willing to try.

I worked with a user named relax tonight, and got it mostly working. I made a simple mistake, so we aren't 100% sure it works yet.
If others want to help test, find me in #moto-atrix on Freenode.

It worked? So now there's a workaround for the bootloader?

It doesn't exactly bypass the bootloader. There are various levels of exploit.
From low to high:
1. Root, root level access good for a lot
2. 2nd-init, control over the init process
Normally you would have this on a Linux box, but init is included in the ramdisk, which is part of the boot partition. The boot partition is signed with a private key, and the bootloader checks the signature to prevent changes to the boot partition.
3. Kernel, this requires either bypassing the bootloader, kexec(to boot another kernel), or 2nd-boot(run a second bootloader after the first).
4. Bootloader, something like an unlock
5. nvflash, on tegra2 phones there is a flash method that is the top level and lets you change as much as possible

Thanks for the info. I'm new to the x2, came from the fascinate.

I use NV flash on my gtablet. If that's the highest form why hasn't t been implemented on tegra 2 phones?

It is possible on Tegra2 phones, but requires the SBK(Secure Boot Key). It is a 32 digit hex key for AES encryption. Bruteforcing it would be pointless, because the number of possible keys is just insane. Retail phones have SBKs. Engineering/Development phones do not have SBKs.
The ASUS Transformer and Acer Iconia both have their SBKs. The Transformer's is one key shared across all Transformers. The Iconia has a unique key per Iconia, and it is based on the device uid. They both didn't discover them from the tablets, but software leaks from the manufactures.
