Samsung Rugby Pro (SGH-I547) Super Thread

[kemonine96]

Welcome to the Samsung Rugby Pro (SGH-I547) Super Thread

As a continuation of my work on the Rugby Smart I'm pleased to present Rugby Pro super thread. Enjoy and happy hacking.

If you create a support thread related to items in this super or for more generalized help, please PM me as a heads up. I've been doing a lot of work on getting things going for the device and can likely provide some amount of help. Having said that, please create a thread with the problem so everyone can benefit if a solution is found.

I am not responsible for anything bad that comes to your device when using the information posted in this thread. Everything here is dangerous, may cause a brick, will void a warranty and has the potential to just plain wreak havoc. Do not complain you followed my instructions and met with a dead device. Consider yourself warned


I've tested to the best of my ability, but I am one person with one device, I cannot catch all potential failure modes. If you find a problem and a fix, or have information that should be added let me know and I will update the necessary information.



Big thanks to Dees_Troy for making the SGH-I547 an official TWRP device.
Thanks to childrenofthehorn for help with getting some things up and going
Thanks to motorhead1991
Thanks to utkanos for help with getting CWR and initial partition mappings down

Are you working on a customized stock rom or a build of Cyanogen?

Very nice, I've managed to make some progress on Cyanogen but there are some tweaks left to be made. If you need any hosting please PM me, I've got a pretty good setup for mirroring going.

For your wifi issue: did you build your own kernel?

 

[markdexter]

No, just stock kernel for now

I ran it through dsixdas kitchen, I've tried with tweaked boot.img and then I pulled the boot. Img from the official rom with the same results

here is the boot.img that im trying to use

I think the only thing screwing me is my updater script, getting a status 7 error when it comes to flashing the boot. Img

That could be it. Can you post the updater script?

Also, checkout the update.zip below. If you poke through the zip it will show you some tricks on how to write an img file out to a raw partition. The update is something another dev and I put together for updating the modem of a device. Works the same as the boot.img.
