TFKC - The Froyo Kernel Collection

Hi fellas,
the intent is quite obvious, collect the latest boot.img that are usable for Froyo.
So here it is, the Froyo kernel collection with all the bugs...
Unless there is no unlocked bootloader we have to deal with the delivery of Moto.
The files could be found easily in the web, but you'll have to search.
I know that searching is very hard for some, so i decided to put it down here and collect some other useful informations in this little thread.
Kernel images (boot.img) sorted by kernel build date:

Basically the arabian and the african kernel are the same.
All files are installable through OpenRecovery and might be renamed to update.zip.
You could easily extract the boot.img and use Nandroid alternatively!
For the curious, here's the official kernel source:
https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/...rs.milestone_source_froyo.05_26/frs12183?dl=1
Disclaimer:
I did not re-pack these files myself, i just collected them.
If you harm your device using these packages, i'm not responsible.
If anyone is the best friend of w21529, wfp018 or r2d2 please ask for help.
If you are a motorola employee send the private keys to wikileaks.
If i made a mistake, tell me!
Thanks goes out to all the openminded developers out there.
@moderators:
If the attachments are getting to large tell me.

Cheers,

Example structure of MS1 boot.img:
Code:
0x0000 0000 - 0x0000 07ff Android header, the first 8 bytes are the magic = "ANDROID!", followed by:
unsigned kernel_size,
unsigned kernel_addr,
unsigned ramdisk_size,
unsigned ramdisk_addr,
0x0000 0240 - 0x0000 02e0 id (checksum 160Bits)
0x0000 0800 - 0x0027 07ff zImage
0x0027 0800 - 0x002a 77ff ramdisk.gz
0x002a 7800 - 0x002b f7ff n x 0xff + 0x0000 0100 at the end
0x002b f800 - 0x002c 07ff key structure
The key structure at the end of boot.img is explained more in detail here:

Some more to come...
Have fun!

Maybe you can indicate the +'s and -'s of each one?
I think one has 4 point multitouch but usb bug included with it
One or two may have DSI bug, but not as bad as others

I agree, I'm still using the GOT leak kernel simply because I keep reading of various bugs on various kernels and haven't decided to change to any other yet. Although, I normally just pick the newest kernel and assume it had the most fixes - this is MOTO we're talking about (2.0 -> 2.1u1 kernel bugs anyone?)

Yupp nice idea.... need to gather some information though.
Need some days.

Could you please tell me which one of those is CM7 RC3 using?

Hey,
thanks for the comments so far...
SHLA_U2_05.14.0_kernel-2.6.32.9-20110224_update.zip is not the best source i guess. It contains a boot.img which is slightly too big in size.
Though this might not cause any issues, please be warned.
I got no SDK at hand... so i'm looking for an alternative to build a new update.zip.
Further comments are welcome!
Regards,
scholbert

I'm not sure if SignApk relies on the SDK - as it's not acutally part of the SDK, I think it just relies on JAVA, you could give that a shot - that's what I use (but I have the SDK installed so I don't know about dependencies)

That's right, sorry for confusion and thanks for clearing up.
It just works with Java on your machine. The tool is called signapk.jar.
I found the package on my workstation... uploaded new Brazilian kernel (debug version)
Maybe i'll delete the standard version...

Impossible to find working tun.ko

Hello people,
i'm looking for a working tun.ko for my motorola xoom device:
uname tells me:
Code:
# busybox uname -a
Linux localhost 2.6.36.3-00010-g3139c20 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jul 8 06:11:47 CDT 2011 armv7l GNU/Linux
any help is really appreciate.. i do need openvpn to work.. thank you
--edit--
eventually, please redirect where i can find instructions on how to build such a module.. i mean.. i can easly do it for my linux distro, but no idea about androd versions and arm stuff

No one? I'm running stock 3.1 rom, this is a 3G european tablet
Thank you

is it really so impossible to get that?
please guys, i need some help

Its hard to find anything that works right if you are stock Tun.ko works fine on Tachi. Get root sir. You will lead a happier more fruitful life

I'm am root, of course (or there would be no reason nor way to use openvpn itself) i'm just using stock rom intead of other flavors.
all other tun.ko i found are not working because of a different kernel version number. mine again, is:
2.6.36.3-00010-g3139c20

Gotcha. Just flash Tachi or latest Launchpad kernel and you should be good to go.

[HELP]Who can give me the stock kernel of Sensation-XE??

Help me please~I want to get stock kernel for my Sensation-XE
(2.6.35.13-g2299e28 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 14 18:36:38 CST 2011)

First, wrong section.
Second, I think using the RUU would get you back the stock kernel, s-0n and stuff.
Third, don't you need 10 posts to post in the development section?

You might won't to try the q&a section they will give you a infraction for that if you continue to post q&a in the dev section and you won't be able to log in anymore

That is correct!!!

[Q] What Kernel and Board does the a2 have?

Hello,
I'm trying to build a custom kernel for the atrix 2.
I'm confused whether it is the omap kernel or the goldfish kernel
It has a Omap proccessor but i found init.goldfish.sh
And all the board says is P3
uname -a:
Code:
Linux localhost 2.6.35.7-gac99e44 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 21 17:27:49 PDT 2011 armv7l GNU/Linux
Thanks in advanced

You are going to want to use the omap kernel. Motorola uses a hybrid omap/goldfish kernel for most of thier devices.
I have been working on the CM7 kernel and I have just been using the omap, and it is working just fine with kexec.
As for the board, it will not matter, because you will need to pull the .so files for most of the functions from the phone, from our current kernel on the device, there are also several library files that are important as well.
I would advise you take a look at one of the opensource android kernel how-to docs and see what I mean. The source code that Moto has provided us is incomplete, so building even a stock kernel is not very likely, with out the important modules, libraries, etc.
The how to for cyanogenmod kernel building is a very good example of how to do this.

you mentioned that it is working with kexec. Is kexec really working, or does it still have the same problems as the razr does with cpu1 not coming up and stuff?

kexec ONLY has the ability to use one CPU. If you use setCPU or similar and set your CPU speeds accordingly, you will never be able to tell the second CPU is not being used. It took some playing with setCPU to get it right, and it was different for 3 different phones that I did it with.

[Q] Help needed in finding kernel version (SG S2)

Hi there.. really need some help cause I`m very new in this and I`m trying to root my SG S2.
I really dont know what Kernel version is my S2... went into Settings>About Phone> ...it says my Kernel (3.0.15-1056084 [email protected]#3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 23 13:50:48 KST 2012)
.... so I really dont know which corresponding insecure kernel version should I download. Can u help me out? :crying: Thanks in advance :good:

Hi
An Insecure kernel is not a requirement for gaining root, at least not on any device I've used.
Although You're probably best SEARCHING the Device Specific Forums all the Information will be in there.
Good Luck.
