thanks
just one question ( sorry if its a stupid one )
you said flash this one and then follow the tutorial on the link
but when i read the tutorial it says i have to put all the files first and then flash the fota
should i flash first just like you said? or should i just do what the tutorial says?

U can do any way, But i suggest u do as in the Tutorial

oh nvm i found the problem
but ive found another problem now :S
my phone did shut down after waiting 5 minutes on that screen with format etc...
but now when i press power and call it boots to bada again and not android

read the tutorial, if you've done it correctly the phone will reboot itself, do NOT touch any of the formatting options!! wait 10 mins and if it doesn't restart select reboot phone or remove the battery and re-read the steps before trying again.

YES got it to work
tnx m8
my bad hehe i was pressing end call + call when my phone was on now i did it when my phone was off and it boots up to galaxy s screen

oh btw i installed it on my internal memory but if i installed it on my SD(2GB ) will it become faster? and is it the same way for installing like on internal memory?

are the download speeds supposed to be slow? or is this normal?

Its very important to have initrd separate with kernel then we dont need anymore recompile all time kernel to get initrd work, we can save to hours time and make work's porting easyer. Off course its an sugestion.

nbates66 · Jan 4, 2012

the thing is, we would have to work out how the kernel will see the bada partition layout, and point the kernel to the file within that layout, would be something like "initrd=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2/galaxyboot/initrd.img" or some such added to the kernel ATAG command line i believe. I also however am not sure what format the image needs to be. We stayed with having initramfs integrated into kernel because we were still working just on kernel execution in bootloader, in addition less files tend to make it less of a hassle explaining how to use it.

Separate initrd should be located on separate partition, not as file, but written as binary data, because initrd is filesystem itself, kernel isn't able to "look into" mmcblk devices in other way than just starting reading from 0x0 offset.

Hi dear Tigrouzen
i've installed bada 2 xxkl6 and also android using nand method. but in android it cant detect the sd card, its a 16GB class 4
what's the solution?
thankyou

Tomorrow I'll do it; but, in the meantime (in my country it's 11pm), there is someone who tried the newest firmware (XXKL6) with the mixed bootloader (XPKJ1) and the modified fota? I've upgraded through Kies doing some tricks and now I would reinstall Android, but I really don't know if the current firmware is still compatible.
If someone have tried, tomorrow we'll know

---------------------------------------------------
Ok... I didn't read the post before. I'll try it anyway. Maybe my SDcard well be luckier.

That's the procedure I used with no problem. I was later informed that there is no need to mix the older bootloader because the KL6 bootloader works too. I also used nbates .sh file over here for the smaller .img installation:

You will need to change your screen time out to 10 minutes immediately after your first Android boot because of the power off bug. Install Wake Lock to prevent screen timeouts after that as explained by Scarface here:

I needed Root, and I found this explanation from lharvince to be the best:

By the way, thanks to all the developers for this port and the members cited above as well as all who made this thread useful. Also thanks to Shadow for creating and maintaining the original tutorial.
