[INFO] Flash AOSP 2.3 GRH55

[kennethpenn]

Using moto-fastboot (thanks, eval- and _unknown), we can flash any developer build unlocked images in Fastboot mode. Thanks to Team Black Hat, we were given a very early developer build with AOSP Gingerbread (mostly). That build was based on GRH55.

This build is pretty dang buggy, but its AOSP applications and such can certainly be harvested for use by devs. If you're just playing around, you'll want to move back to HKTW or stock within 10 minutes. If you want to farm the apps and libs, just mount the system image.

​

Basic Information

Android 2.3
Build number: olympus-eng 2.3 GRH55 eng. w30562.20110119.152615 test-keys
Date: January 19, 2011
System version: 0.0.1.MB680.ATT.en.US

Working

• Data and cellular network
• All applications (for the most part)

Buggy, weird, or broken

• Phone application
• Extremely slow!
• WiFi broken
• GPS
• Often reboots
• Some elements reflect Blur style, most are AOSP

Installation

Prerequisites

• Linux [until moto fastboot is recompiled for Windows]
• moto-fastboot (64-bit, 32-bit)
• GRH55 boot image
• GRH55 system image [[URL="http://www.filesonic.com/file/1297604021/system-grh55.zip"]Mirror]
  [/URL]
• Unlocked bootloader

Instructions

Commands are the same as the HKTW build flash. Thank _unknown and eval- for making it easy for everyone.

1. Boot the device into Fastboot mode
2. Power off device
3. Press and hold downward volume and power buttons until "Fastboot" appears
4. Press the upward volume button
5. Open a terminal window and issue the following commands
   

   sudo ./moto-fastboot flash boot boot-grh55.smg
   sudo ./moto-fastboot flash system system-grh55.smg
   sudo ./moto-fastboot -w
   sudo ./moto-fastboot reboot

   Replace "moto-fastboot" with "moto-fastboot32" if you're on a 32-bit or VMWare system.
6. Reboot and enjoy!

Im a newb running linux. I have linux in a virtual box. I downloaded moto-fastboot and the two image files. Now where do I extract these files too in linux? When I run the commands it just says command not found? I have the files on my desktop in linux, how do I direct linux to flash the files too the phone via fastboot through the terminal since it cant find the file?

Make sure to check out eval-'s thread in General. Read up there.

To answer your questions...

1.) Extract the files to your home folder (for me it was my username, Kenneth)
2.) Right click the moto-fastboot32 (you need 32-bit) and click Properties... change permissions to read/write

Now give it a go.

So I extracted both img files for the GB build too my User name folder along with the moto-fasboot32 and changed permissions. When I run the commands exactly how they are I get ./moto-fastboot command not found. I know Im missing something easy.

You need to use ./moto-fastboot32 not ./moto-fastboot.

 

[JayRolla]

You need to use ./moto-fastboot32 not ./moto-fastboot.

OMG, thank you. I knew it was something easy, LOL.

 

[kennethpenn]

OMG, thank you. I knew it was something easy, LOL.

No problem. I edited the instructions for clarity.

It's like an early Christmas, then in a few days we get fireworks, what next, overclocking xD imagine running a rom optimized for dual core at even 1.4GHz a core, sure your battery will die faster than road kill, but hey, imagine the games that would be possible, IMAGINE THE WEBTOP THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE!!! Excuse me while I go dance like a little girl from all this happy news lol

It says "System version: 0.0.1.*MB680*.ATT.en.US", which should be "System version: 0.0.1.*MB860*.ATT.en.US", had to point that out lol

 

[kennethpenn]

There are a few. Simple edits can take them out. Mostly AOSP, though. This is clearly their first (or one of the first) engineering build.

 

[Dubee24]

has fastboot been recompiled for windows?

 

[kennethpenn]

has fastboot been recompiled for windows?

No. Someone needs to do it using Cygwin. Best info: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting/browse_thread/thread/4990ffe551844860?pli=1&fwc=1

 

[tan G]

anyone know what is the code group CGXX.smg for this boot-grh55.smg??

 

[Maxpower57]

I'm getting the following,

sending 'system' (327680 KB)...
(bootloader) Image is too big, use 0x10000000 bytes chunks
FAILED (remote: (00000006))
finished. total time: 0.003s

phone displays
Failed to process command download :14000000 error(0x6)

is there a solution to this?

 

[tan G]
