Hopefully where it says "NOTE: Contains update to secondary bootloader" that means that I'll be able to use Heimdall on my Mac now. :)

Thanks Chainfire. I don't think I'll be a guinea pig with this update because of the secondary bootloader. Sammy's already been playing with a locked bootloader with its tab firmware.:mad:

The secondary bootloader updates scares me, as if you bork up the bootloader not even odin will save your phone. And I would refrain from flashing this until the devs search through it and make sure there is no locked bootloader in the rom. The galaxy tab had a locked bootloader in one leaked rom.

I WOULD NOT FLASH THIS DUE TO THE BOOTLOADER UPDATE UNTIL DEVS HAVE SEARCHED THROUGH IT.


EDIT: Saw the edit in the OP Chainfire. Not signed. What is the update to the bootloader anyways?

Waiting for somebody else to guinea pig is always a good idea, especially if bootloaders are in the package.

However I did check the bootloader before posting, it doesn't seem signed / locked / protected. And you can always flash without the bootloader, just remove sbl.bin from the tar archive before you flash it.

The bootloader is basically what loads the boot image, rom, kernel, and all of that to start the phone. If you bork that up, the phone will not even start up, not even download mode since that is connected to the bootloader and is normally not affected by rom flashes.

I'll be the "guinea pig" for everyone here after i odin this to see if everything is gonna be legit. i have a nexus s as my backup phone so this is just my toy. should i try to odin back to a 2.1 rom with a sbl.bin included?
also as a side note should i check the box in odin that says bootloader update? lol:D

    i don't know too much about bootloaders. how does having a second one mean they are being more open? or was that sarcasm i didn't catch. lol

    It doesn't. God knows what he meant. In total these devices have no less than 4 bootloaders (Initial Boot Loader, Primary Boot Loader, Secondary Boot Loader, and in case the SBL is corrupt, it even has a full secondary SBL - a backup). That doesn't make it more open, it has nothing at all to do with it. They're just pieces of code that run in a certain order to get your device up and running.

    This ROM includes a new SBL, which - aside from finally loading the kernel - provides such things as "download mode" (the SBL in general, not this specific update specifically)
