FOTA to boot ARMLinux under S8500XPKJ1 (Bada 2.0)

Rebellos · Nov 12, 2011

Linking already compiled FOTA binary working with S8500XPKJ1 bootloaders only.
It needs the same files on User partition as described in tutorial.

Remember that you flash it on your own risk.

It's version 3.0 - may work, or may not.

Sorry if it's an idiotic or noobish post, but I just want to make sure:
I have to install S8500XPKJ1 (bada 2.0) then flash this FOTA and I should be able to load Android just like before, right? Thanks!

thanks Rebellos

Whitescreen with any text on it?
What key combination are you using? Ain't sure if it haven't changed.
Recovery mode is Menu+VolUp
Download mode Menu+VolDown (or Menu alone should work too)
Normal kernel boot is CallKey
Otherwise Bada does boot.

Please test it carefully, I couldn't do it by myself yet.

which kind of installations ? install on Nand or Memory Card ?

Fahrenheit51 · Nov 13, 2011

Flashed with S8500XPKJ1
Flashed the fota available in the first post
Copied all the needed files to boot Android.. but what I obtained is the Wave that:
Start Bada regurarly
Start the process to install Android (VolumUp+Menu+EndCall) and show me a screen with some pixels around.
What should be?

Rebellos · Nov 13, 2011

Please get me a picture of that screen.

Fahrenheit51 · Nov 13, 2011

I should have done it before, sorry.
And sorry for the bad quality too.
Here you are a photo just to give you an idea.

@Rebellos

A plain white screen with some pixel dots
I used Vol down+lock+power button for going into download mode
Then used power+menu+vol up button thnkin cld boot into android first time (set up the file system)
Then used power+call key to boot into android
But it dint work

FYI, i used the NAND method...

Indiamachi

This is to boot ARM Linux or Android?

I think title may lead to misinterpretation

askor · Nov 13, 2011

UP,

android ;]

Rebellos · Nov 13, 2011

Android is ARMLinux kernel + Zygote & Dalvik AFAIK.

I'm working on solution.

AltairBW · Nov 13, 2011

It really doesn't work. When you try to get into the Recovery Mode or to lauch Android, pixels are displayed like in the bada 1,2 version, but there after these pixels the Galaxy S logo is displayed, and here no reaction.

john1995 · Nov 14, 2011

i tried it... but it doesn't work ! it doesn't even show galaxy logo. And whr can i get the files needed?
