nbates said:My kernel for use with moviNAND loopback filesystem 10-07-11 "ext2system.img"
not for use with tutorial build.
This config is built to allow config of the data and cache partition images to be done via the script mkext2images.sh.
the images get stored on bada partition mmcblk0p3, system loopback gets mounted from mmcblk0p2
1:copy files sbl.bin and your zImage to galaxyboot as normal, as well as the ext2system.img
2ut mkext2images.sh into bada storage root
3:boot Android-Linux kernel in recovery mode and wait until the phone reboots (there is no indication of script completion other than phone reboot! do not touch any buttons or use recovery mode's functions during this!!)
4:boot Android
to remove, repeat step 2 but copy the mkext2images-remove.sh file instead, then rename it to mkext2images.img
the ext2system.img file needs to be an ext2 image that contains the extracted "factoryfs.rfs" files from firmware I9000XXJPX.
the kernel will need the busybox executable in it's path variable in order for the scripts to work.
the scripts can be found here http://code.google.com/p/badadroid/source/detail?r=329
recovery capable bootloader, by mijoma:

while this build isn't supposed to damage bada, use these files at your OWN risk, backup your data and be prepared to accept the responsibilty was yours if your phone breaks.
I have a few doubts I would like you to kindly help me with..
So are we supposed to rename our partitions to "mmcblk0p3" and "mmcblk0p2"?
I assume that has been taken care of in your "nbates66FilesystemMoviNANDLoopback100711v1public.zip" file.?
So what are we supposed to do?
no, once you have flashed the .fota file literally the steps 1 to 4 should be all you need to do, this build installs to internal sdcard of your phone (moviNAND). You shouldn't need to repartition anything.
the "ext2system.img" file referred to is inside the "moviNAND filesystem" .zip that is split into two parts.
Thanks for the reply. I will try it out now!
btw. is this .fota also compatible with the ShadowAS1 tut build? So If I wish to switch back to that do I have to flash to the older fota as well?
while the fota itself should work with shadow's build, i'm not sure that kernel has recovery mode configured so attempting recovery mode boot will probably just boot android normally, but this fota is somewhat more experimental as well, and it hasn't worked for some people, probably best to use the other .fota for shadow's tut build.
This is done by pressing VOL UP+Menu(Diamond key)+End call key while the phone is switched off.Right? Cause I did that and then I got all the little dots like Android boot up then it just shut off. After that I tried Android and it booted up with Music! but then just black screen(have to replace battery to make it work again). I can boot into Bada though...

In recovery mode appeared to me some errors and I had to manually restart (in the above menu handled with the volume keys).
The issue is that android boots fine and works very fast (although continuous with the long touch problem)

euhmm to be clear if you want this you need to compile the FOTA. and it isnt 100% safe that it wont brick bada

few changes to my post, once again it's actaully preferred to discuss the issues in irc rather than in the dev thread.
EDIT: if i can figure a way creating a similar simplified install method for external SDcard version then i can work with Shadow to implement it in a new tutorial, but i'm not confident with scripting sdcard partitioning...
it IS the case that this version carries more risk of corrupting bada, though it is almost impossible for it to brick the phone completely (download mode will remain undamaged).

it would be nice, if only devs like oleg would post here. that android-on-wave tutorial crap is really going on the nerves. each day we are looking into that forum, seeing with excitement new posts on this thread ... and then it is always just stupid questions or stuff about a stupid tutorial about the porting (of something that does not work, up to now).
that is really disappointing. each day.

in other words: you posted in the wrong thread. search for "tut".
I totally agree with you
just delete those tut threads... if nobody is able to install nobody can flame abouts bugs.... and then wait for a stable - full working version to publish
We indeed could but then we would get them flaming here about when the releases are... what the current status is etc.. etc..

79Hi All.
It's my thread - port Android on Wave S8500(also S8530).
Wellcome developers and designers.
Last state of project:
06/13/2011 Now working on Android 2.3.3 (Source GB for GT-I9000 and M130K)
not working - modem and GPS.
04/04/2011 Memory allocation now is correct!
05/11/2011 I have full schematic for phone
and we're ready to get a fully working kernel.
Full decriptions of GPIO is attached.
source for kernel and initramfs here:
github.com/Oleg-k/S8500_Kernel_2.6.32
github.com/Oleg-k/initramfs_2.6.32_S850025ADB command line mode
Thanks to (in alphabetical order) Mijoma, Nbates66, Oleg_k, Rebellos, Srg.mstr (last but not least) now we have ADB command line mode (in recovery mode now).
For this we use only standard USB data cable:
0. For experts only who will not ask stupid questions in the future.
1. make kernel ( https://github.com/Oleg-k/initramfs_2.6.32_S8500 https://github.com/Oleg-k/S8500_Kernel_2.6.32 ) with modified initramfs/recovery.rc http://code.google.com/p/badadroid/source/browse/trunk/initramfs/recovery.rc?spec=svn179&r=179
2. create "galaxyboot" folder at internal mmc0 card and put there:
2.1 sbl.bin http://code.google.com/p/badadroid/downloads/detail?name=Sbl2FOTA_mijoma2.zip&can=2&q=#makechanges
2.2 zImage
3. create on external mmc2 primary FAT partitions p1, p2 and p3 ( <=1GB ). put there files from factoryfs.rfs > p1, dbdata.tar > p2, cache.rfs > p3.
4. make and upload to phone FOTA http://code.google.com/p/badadroid/source/browse/trunk/FOTA/kernel_boot_sbl.asm?r=179
5. connect USB to phone and hold POWER and CALL buttons.
6. after ~30sec reconnect USB and try to use $ ./adb shell20
Guys,good news!HI Everyone, any news regarding wave schematics???
I tried my best searching on net, but could'nt get anything relavent other than service manuals........
Today I got a schematic of main cpu, but due to security, I can't publish it now.
later i will publish gpio translation file for kernel after research.
