Because perhaps it seems that reboot and reboot again.:p

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.

I didn't use bp tool myself, just reboot & used terminal emulator for adb commands

It's worked!
My RAZR is "65.3.106.XT910S.SKT.en.KR". (Original Stock Rom. Not an retail.)

I know that this is a teaser. I believe your good work. ;)
Also, Thanks for your work.

Great work, kholk & [mbm]! Thank you.
What need to be changed to port this to other Motorola OMAP4 devices, such as Bionic?

Thank you, Kholk, and everyone else involved. Having a tinker at the moment, running surprisingly smoothly for a single core (When set to ondemand, at least). Can only get better from here.

So, who wants to try tweaking the display drivers to make the screen less yellow? ;)

yes but when you unlock the bootloader i think it disables WiiMax, so you lose 4G

That's only for the Photon, specifically due to the way Wiimax authentication works. Nothing to do with LTE or any other phone (with any other variety of '4G').

Happy it worked for you all! :)

About the display, yeah on driver level there's something that can be done, but well, for now, you can use an app that you can find easily on the play store that will do the job.
Not only "one app" .. there are a lot of apps that can do what you want :D

I only hope that you will get the second core running ;-)

Now that the source is released, anyone can work on it, I have hope that the second core will eventually come online :)

I've done all the steps, made sure there are no 'on boot' settings enabled, booted into BP Tools and ran the script from terminal... The phone runs the script and vibrates, but just sits at the terminal frozen.. and I have to manually turn off the phone with the buttons.. Does this not work with Arctic ROM? I have no problem flashing back to stop LATAM BR fastboot

    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:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o2j543IOMc

    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.
