Searching through the EB13 source in /arch/arm/boot/ I came across three files of interest, victory_test_kernel.tar, recovery.bin and zImage, I ran over hear excited since I thought Sammy was throwing us a bone to get some custom kernels running early, but nevertheless in true Samsung fashion the files of interest come from October 1st of all dates, and seem to be before DK28. That's Sammy for you. You'll have to wait until Monday to get anything truly EB13.

This got me thinking, maybe Samsung is just had this source for a while now and this is the outcome of all their edits they've made through the leaked stages, this being the final product, anyways, here is a totally cleaned version of the EB13 source that takes half the time to download and is ready to be compiled with a few edits to victory_03_defconfig and build_kernel.sh.
Code:
Edited victory_03_defconfig to add initramfs source and cleaned
various aspects of unneeded files let behind by Samsung.
If your a dev coming from the DI18 source you might find it interesting to know that the default config is no longer ares_003_defconfig, but is victory_03_defconfig.

Browsing the EB13 source and took a peak at /arch/arm/boot and found victory_test_kernel.zip. Flash with Odin, should work great on any DK28 rom, using rfs.
I also found recovery.bin which can be flashed to bml8 for the stock Samsung recovery experience you'll find which I assume is 3e. here

Do I get to keep root? How is the GPS? More questions that no one can answer this quickly...
u say for RFS?
What does this mean for ext? Is that going to have to be updated or something based on this new releases or no ?
honestly not to knock bubby but i wouldnt bother, wait like 40 mins there will be cwm3 friendly versions that keep root and have ext4/rfs etc etc

Ok thought so, btw do we still have to wait til monday, to get things really going like roms even with this?
I read elsewhere that the source doesnt help if we dont have the modem and kernal from the ota?
theres work on the kernel right now, may not be done fully but there is work.. the ota will give stuff like modem and the rom itself. dont be surprised to see test builds before thern tho

I have finally, successfully, gotten jt1134's device tree and Froyo framework all configured for the Mesmerize. This is a Vanilla Froyo (no Cyanogenmod) build and works enough to play around with (= But, I should warn you, this isn't a terribly stable build, so don't freak out if something acts weird d= Also, I'm not responsible for any harm you may do to your devices..
It's late and I have an 8:00 am tomorrow so I haven't tested everything out yet, but what is working and not working should be similar to what jt1134 has listed over in his Fascinate thread. Here's what I've tried though:
Working:
Phone
SMS
GPS
WiFi
Not Working:
Data?
Bluetooth
Camera
sdcard?
Oh, and it may randomly 'boot loop' a few times.. don't freak out though.
For this to work you need to be using the Mesmerize Froyo kernel I recently posted. To get everything setup just download the ROM and the Kernel and put them on your sdcard. Boot into recovery and make a backup. Wipe your data and cache partition. Flash the ROM. Flash the Kernel. Reboot. Froyo! If you're going to try to adopt this ROM for everyday use (good luck), make sure you grab the GApps package and flash that last.
I haven't got a Mesmerize device tree on github yet, but you can find the alterations to the kernel up. Really, you should look at jt's source/github because that's where all the dirty work is done (= Also, some of his work is under ModADroid on github.
Download Links:
Mesmerize Vanilla Froyo ROM: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/464066/Mesmerize/ROMs/froyo_mesmerize_0122.zip
Mesmerize Froyo Voodoo Kernel: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/464066/Mesmerize/Kernels/0123_mesmerize_voodoo5.zip
I'll post a link to a nonvoodoo kernel when I get one compiled.
Froyo GApps: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip
Be careful!! This kernel is named the same as jt's Voodoo Sound 2.1 Kernel that he released yesterday. You may want to rename one of the two if you plan on using both. The ROM will bootloop or freeze at the lockscreen if you mistakenly use a 2.1 kernel (=

I think it has to do with the mounting. It looked the same as the other init.rc's that I was looking at, but it was all running together at that point last night. I'll dig into it some more tonight and look at the mounting of the base init file and see what I can come up with. Hopefully something will jump out.
Dont pull bin/vold from a prebuilt image, make sure you're building the aosp version. Also, make sure you are pulling prebuilt/vold.fstab from my device repo.
Android uses the vold daemon and fstab files to manage sdcard mounts, not a simple mount command like the ones used in init.rc for other partitions.

No, you also need to revert to a 2.1 kernel as well. I mean 2.1 will boot on this kernel, but I can't say that it will work perfectly, and I found my scdard still didn't after a restore until I reverted kernels.
So restoring doesn't change the kernels, just the rom?

What you should do is download jt1134's Mesmerize Voodoo5 w/ Voodoo Sound kernel and flash it. You should then take a backup in perfect working order. If you want to play with 2.2, wipe, flash the rom, then kernel. When you're done, wipe, restore the backup, then flash the previous kernel.

Sweet waiting for a few more things to be functioning before I try using it. Thought maybe about trying to tomorrow but only as a test.
Edit: I just flashes the ROM and Kernel last night 0 problems booting and starting up phone was basically functioning then when I installed the Froyo Gapps I couldn't use the phone anymore because no data connection couldn't get passed the google account setup but seemed to work.
The only thing that was weird is before I installed the gapps zip while playing around the phone kept going back to the silver Android logo seeming as if it was restarting and going back to the lock screen but I managed to test the Phone, called 611 got US Cellular so that works!
Thanks again for your work I definitely and looking forward to this.
Big thanks to the devs! This is an awesome step forward. I flashed the ROM and Kernel, and although it's definitely alpha, it's awesome progress!
<rant>
It's pitiful that team of hobbyists and enthusiasts, working for free, in their spare time can port 2.2 faster than Samsung, who employs a full staff of software and hardware engineers, armed with development tools and source code. SAMSUNG, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

Samsung could have rolled out an firmware update but from what I've read they leave it up to the carriers to decide when they roll out updates.. especially OTAs since its on their end. US Cellular does spend a large amount of time testing their phones before releasing anything because their still small business orientated. That said, they easily could have rolled something out for us much earlier than this, as far as the small business goes they could have released it un-supported to commercial users and told business' not to load it yet plus not shipped any phones with it.. at least we'd have the option then..
There is a new leak of gingerbread out for the SGS over in the I9000, and apparently this is supposed to be version that will be the official release.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009177
Nice, hopefully it doesn't take forever to see it officially released like it did with Froyo!
Waiting for source
I'm not too worried about AT&T, I believe once the source is released we will have many official releases XDA style
once the source is out we will have it. thank god for xda! and of coarse supercurio! i have been rocking out to music for the last couple days thanks to voodoo sound, not that the sound was bad before but now i can really appreciate it. also getting some better iem's (in ear monitors) the samsung ones are ok, well for an included accessory they are amazing but nothing compared to what is out there. i wouldnt think about getting a different phone right now. but i will see if the infuse has the hifi wolfson amp in it. the galaxy s 2 looks amazing but makes me wonder what will be out when i am up for a new contract.
Neat, hope the source appears sooner rather than later after the official release.
Lol... I must be losing it. And official sgs 2.3 leaks and this is the extent of the discussion. .... Lol wtf.
most people are more excited by cm7 for some reason. this is what i will use as soon as a reorient kernel comes about, all i can do is hope the source is realesed shortly. i think it was available pretty quick after jpx/jpy were released so i think it wont take long.

Regardless... It's a big deal. And none of the other threads made it very far. At all.
Go look at the i9000 forums. They're littered with posts and 2.3 sgs roms. All we have are crickets.
To be fair, we don't have the source available, so the leaked rom is kind of useless to us. It's a neat novelty, just to flash for a few minutes to see what's in store, but it's definitely not something you would use daily.
Just downloaded the Rom.. anyone know of a good kernel to use with this rom?? will CM7 kernel work with this rom? since its 2.3.3

Highly doubtful.. It should come with a compatible kernel and modem packaged in to it.
I wouldn't flash it straight through odin if I were you, though. If you have access to a linux machine, you should repackage it as a cwm flashable zip that doesn't flash boot or sbl, otherwise you risk either perma-bricking your phone or locking your bootloader.
My memory must be going. I remember us having ported i9000 2.2 roms well before the source dropped.

Vibrant owners have a port of this already, so yes it would seem that reorienting can be done without source, but devs aren't touching this for some reason...I really hope that changes cause I want to try this out but don't have the knowledge base to try to reorient the kernel myself and don't have time to learn currently.
No source, no kernel, no ROM. That simple.

I said the kernels should work fine, and roms possibly.
On closer inspection of a system dump from an ns4g there are some differences that will prevent current custom roms from working properly.
I'd need a guinea pig with an ns4g to assist me in testing to find out the exact changes necessary to make them compatible.
Atm there are at least 2 files I've found that would need to change.
You can go ahead and flash Net's kernel and start overclocking though!

Ok, so this is a stock deodexed ROM for the NS 4G. I am not a dev, you flash this at your own risk. With that being said, Im running it and I havent found anything wrong...yet. It does have netarchy's bfs kernel, you will need setcpu to oc, it is good up to 1.4. Your phone may not be. Do not check set on boot in setcpu until you know your phone is stable. You WILL have to flash superuser in recovery, you can flash it right after you flash the ROM, no need to reboot. So, here it is...

The source has been out for a while now...I'm thinking a few weeks, at least.
Has anyone checked to see whether this KK4 is the same as what was leaked two months ago - there's always the possibility of slipstreamed changes without reversioning, especially since there are definite bugs that remain in the leaked version, e.g., the kernel crashes when too many apps are are installed to SD.
At a minimum, given that the linked instructions describe this as a full wipe, the ROM is packaged differently than the previous leaks.
LOL. couldn't have come at a better time! /sarcasm
Anyone got an alternate mirror in the event the Kies Mini upgrade fails for me, as it did previously when I tried to upgrade to Froyo? It would be a nice backup in the event I need to go back to stock (assuming, although I probably shouldn't, that in the two months since KK4 leaked, something had to get updated.

I have a hard time believing ATT would release such an unstable release. It just can't be the same KK4 leaked back in November. It is inconcievable.
Upgraded my cappy without a hitch.. Unfortunately, it was then powered off and put back in my Galaxy SII box (now my backup phone)

Assuming this is the same as the leak; go to the dev KK4 thread and download the fugu kernel and the KK4 kernel
Flash fugu via Odin let it start and bootloop; pull battery; flash KK4 kernel

Here is the system image from MY SGS 3, I thought one of our other devs might want to turn this into a ROM. I would do it, but I am a little swamped at the moment with after hours android dev work.
If someone has not taken a stab at it by the time I am back in here more "permanently", I will make my attempt at porting it over. You will need to grab a script that they use for CM, to grab the files off of your phone, also here is a good reference on porting as well.

I might take it on (you know me, that means I will try and fail and leave it dead most likely), but how the hell will we even get it to boot without at least an ics kernel? will we just have to wait until we get the update?
EDIT: i assume the gs3 is GSM correct?

Try kexec, That is how the cyanogenmod team is "dual booting" for testing roms... who cares if it is just one proc for a test boot.... Once you can POC it with a 2.3.6 kernel, then you know you are on the right track, and can do a test flash. The only real issue you might have is that the source seems incomplete to me.
I know this because I tried to compile it and had all kinds of issues with missing pieces. I have successfully compiled two kernels that I am testing on my SGS 3 at the moment (one overclocked, the other under volted).
Just make sure you go and grab the arm-abi tool kit, this is the one I use, from
codesourcery:
http://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/codesourcery
All you need is the light version. It might take some work, but you may be able to merge the ICS kernel code (it is posted as a sticky higher up ^^^) with the MB/ME865 kernel to get what is missing. There are some how-tos out there to do it.
Yes the AT&T version is GSM(HSPA+)<E

It is in the system.img file I posted.... just mount it as an iso and you can pull out /system/app and grab the Svoice.apk from there.

I'll pull them out for you later today, I am about to tear this apart. it is downloading crazy slow though. I'm on an island in Vermont, so as you might imagine, my internet is not fantastic.

Am I right that is SHOULD boot on a stock ICS kernel, like what came from that leak, if so, I can have someone that is running that test it out, and make sure the system is right, then I can build a kernel to run with kexec until we can get a real update.
I am new to porting and sort of to kernel building so tell me if this process sounds right for this.
1. fix up the gs3 system with our proprietary files -thats easy, I know how to do that
2. have someone that is running an ics kernel test it if possible
3. if that works it means I just need a stock ics kernel to run in kexec, which shouldn't be too hard because we should be able to use the me865 source and modify it to work with mb865. If it does not work, kernel building starts from scratch, which is were I will have to do some more research, and any help from you or others would be helpful.
My other question is how do we even load the new kernel with kexec? wouldn't we need this to boot first, then we can swap the kernel? Or is there a way to load up both at the same time?
I think I will set up a WIP thread for this if you don't mind. feel free to PM me if you don't want to post stuff here.
Thank you so much for all your help, and have fun with your new toy

Yeah I think that is a good start. Take a look at this link, the guys from team epic that do cyanogenmod ports have come up with a way to use kexec to test booting thier kernel and roms. You might PM one of them, I have not gotten to that point yet, plus these guys are working on the Sprint version, of the SGS3, but I am sure they can explain how they are doing this with kexec. These guys are on XDA, I have chatted with them on a couple issues I was having.

Oh, P.S.
Here is how to compile the "stock MB/ME865" kernel:
1. How to Build
- get Toolchain
From android git server , codesourcery and etc ..
- arm-eabi-4.4.3
- edit Makefile
edit "CROSS_COMPILE" to right toolchain path(You downloaded).
EX) CROSS_COMPILE= $(android platform directory you download)/android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
Ex) CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi- // check the location of toolchain
$ export ARCH=arm
$ make m2_att_defconfig
$ make
2. Output files
- Kernel : arch/arm/boot/zImage
- module : drivers/*/*.ko
3. How to Clean
$ make clean
Just make sure the toolkit is pointed to the install of the codesourcery toolkit I linked in the above post.
P.P.S
Your defconfig might be another pointer name, that you will have to find out for sure. You know the one above called m2_att_defconfig.
For the beginners don't try the rom,you might kill your phone!
I'd like to give this a try as well . Thanks a lot for all the help!
If/when we get this to work, do you think a JB port won't be too far behind? How big are the differences between stock ICS and JB kernels?

Glad to see you back around here, but lets not even give anything towards JB until we get ICS. if you are interested in helping with that, send me a PM, I have made some progress with cm9 (as in it boots fine, and i have some ideas for the radio).

ICS to JB is going to be a much smaller kernel jump, but there will be a HUGE performance increase due to project butter which is now officially part of Jelly Bean.
The key to running something like this is to get a kernel compiled and running with kexec, even though it is just 1 proc, it is a good way to get started. Ports will be much easier if you do some merging of the changed code in newer kernels and do merged kernel. There are instructions for doing a kernel that is merged from 2 sources to get a complete kernel.
Now this will just work for testing and porting, and the actual ICS or JB install from at least a leak will be needed to actually run the port, but you can get ahead of the game by doing what I have mentioned.
Well going to give this a go in a few days doing some maintenance on my computer but will get back with something (hope not a bricked phone) .....
(off topic ranting)
Hate to say it at this rate what getting close to a year since Ics release Jb might just be a pipe dream..... Think I am growing grey hairs waiting for something to give here..... Without bootloader unlock I feel so useless (Yea I could make a recovery image with all the bells and whistles but I got bigger plans).....
Downloaded so I could tinker with some files. Thanks for sharing.

I am actually trying to get my recognized developer cert on here and get free premium access to xdafilehost, that all the recognized devs get access to.
We will see if I get it or not. If not I have other options, but things like filedropper will not do, I already looked into it
