[Bootloader Bypass] Kexec for Motorola RAZR by kholk & [mbm] - Motorola Droid RAZR

Welcome to the EternityProject's Motorola RAZR Bootloader Bypass Thread!
What do we have today?
Kexec. After working with a really good developer, [mbm], finally this has become real.
Linux boots Linux. No signature checks.
Yeah, this is the beginning of custom kernels
Oh, remember that this is still a WORK IN PROGRESS!
Known issues (to be solved):
- CPU1 doesn't come up.
- It fails on (some?) CDMA Droid RAZRs
ToDo (by priority):
1. Fix CDMA Droid RAZR problem
2. Fix CPU1
Disclaimer:
The EternityProject and [mbm] aren't responsible of anything you do on your device: if it explodes and kills you, or if it comes to life and becomes something like Terminator, it's YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY.
Plus, prior complaining that it doesn't work, use a STOCK MOTOROLA ROM. Thanks.
Tested on:
651.167.19.XT910.Retail.en.FR
651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU
65.1.40.XT910.MERetail.en.06
651.73.250.XT910.Brasil.en.BR
65.1.40.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03
65.3.106.XT910S.SKT.en.KR
Installing:
1. Copy the package on your internal memory / MicroSD
2. Boot the bootstrap recovery
3. Install it via that recovery.
Booting with kexec:
Open a terminal emulator or ADB and enter this:
Code:
su
sh /system/bypassme/bypassme.sh
Then wait for 10 seconds to jump over the new kernel. Now your device will vibrate and apparently freeze. Wait a minute and you'll be on the new kernel
You can also set the script above to be automatically executed at boot time or to be a one-tap script with apps like Script Manager.
Video how-to by therazrguy:

In case of freeze:
VOLDN+POWER (press for ~10 seconds) will hardshutdown your device. If it freezes during the kexec boot, retry. Sometimes it can happen.
In case of slow-like-hell device:
Install SetCPU or AnTuTu CPU Master and change your governor from 'mot_hotplug' to 'ondemand'.

Note:
If something is not working, please remove anything that is automatically running at boot, like auto-recovery and the "Set on boot" option of SetCPU or AnTuTu CPU Master.

That's amazing job you BOTH did !
Questions:
1. Which kernel did you use as base?
2. Could you post it's source to see the diffs?
Thanks a lot!

Congrats! Thanks Kholk and mbm, you guys are the best!
I just have one question.
After this how can I boot into the normal kernel and use both cores if I want to? Is that even possible or are we stuck with only one core till a fix is found?

---

Hey Aashrey,
I can reboot my Phone and got the Stock Kernel. After running the script it reboots again and there's the Magic
So all under control!

This may be offtopic but still intresting: How did they manage to unlock the bootlooader of Motorola Atrix? If Motorola locks all their bootloaders then how did someone manage to unlock the atrix?

---

Ooh~ it‘s amazing!
I‘d like try on my razr(XT910S).
One question:
is it possible cwm recovery image flash on recovery partition?
Thanks for great work!

I installed it 3 times when i had cwm on boot & it failed, i dont know why but seems cwm on boot causes some errors, then i removed that & it worked,
Apply it on your xt910s, you dont miss anything

i hope this gets ported to the CDMA RAZR and then the Droid 4, since their hardware is very similar

For some reason my phone doesn't go to the deep sleep while running the new kernel

Moto leaked a bootloader that could be unlocked... I think the community called it the 'pudding sbf'.

Because perhaps it seems that reboot and reboot again.
Question:
We(XT910S) have not sbf. So, i'm very careful.
Custom kernel is being applied when BP-Tool boot only?
is it possible back to original kernel? (Normal-boot)
thanks.

---

Yes exacly
BT Tool = custom kernel
when you reboot in normal mod you have your original kernel

Maybe that's because of the 'on demand'-setting.
