find attached the specs of SGY NAND-memory chip "oneNAND".
Linux-based NAND Flash software solution, offering higher performance and cost effectiveness for next-generation mobile phones. Samsung's Linux NAND Flash memory software allows the NAND Flash memory to store code as well as data. By eliminating the need for NOR Flash memory and supporting the Linux operating system with a demand-paging function, Samsung can lower overall costs and reduce space requirements in mobile handhelds.
Samsung's Linux file system, Robust File System (RFS), also offers greater data preservation capabilities in case of power disruption as well as wear-leveling for higher reliability. To address the problem of data loss from corrupted file allocation tables (FAT), Samsung's Linux-based NAND Flash memory solution also supports Transactional FAT for external memory cards. Compared to the conventional JFFS2 and YAFFS open file systems, Samsung's Linux file system enhances the NAND Flash write-speed up ten and four times , respectively.
This Flash memory solution is also available with Samsung's OneNAND (tm) Flash memory, which boasts a faster read speed compared to the conventional NAND Flash. With its advanced multi-tasking function, Linux will further accelerate the adoption of NAND Flash in next-generation mobile phones.
Importantly, as Samsung's new Linux NAND Flash memory software, RFS has completed verification in the Linux kernel 2.4.20-based Montavista Linux environment, Samsung's NAND Flash solution addresses the diverse needs of system developers for advanced performance, high reliability, shortened development time, asf.
with linux-mtd, SGY users can easily have "mobile ODIN" as well as "heimdall" open source flashing software, beause open sourced "mtd-linux" supports the SGY phones's memory electrical chip component named "oneNAND" !
this research thread aims at dissussing "mobile ODIN" using mtd-linux.

MTD is the standard Linux way of accessing flash.
Samsung (maybe) says they have some new kind of OneNAND flash memory for which MTD is inappropriate, and for that they provide BML.
BML is a low-level interface.
On top of BML they provide STL which is slightly less low-level but doesn't seem to give any information about the boot partitions, only the filesystem ones.
RFS is the filesystem (an optimized journaling VFAT) that runs on top of STL.

bml1 132kB - "primary boot loader"
bml2 1284kB - "secondary boot loader" - loads the kernel and also supports a "download mode" in which it can talk to a PC using Odin protocol via a virtual serial port (USB). Should be a plausible last resort in most bricking scenarios.

this could be helpful., sooner sgy will be support mobile odin.. thank you for this..
Sent from my Android System using Busybox Command.

I thought the SGY was on ReiserFS
Now I have to learn it really is RobustFS

releases prior to Heimdall 1.4 alpha I could not get to work with SGY. I tried everything under VISTA.
maybe Heimdall 1.4 dumps the SGY pit-file.
###############################
Linux would use : mtd, UBI, UBIfs
Samsung uses: bml, stl and RFS instead
on the physical oneNAND chip.

Hello, i'm not experienced with filesystems, however, i'm trying to figure something out about /dev/bml5 (BcmCP.img)
So as far as I know, this file can be mounted (because it's a .img file)
Would the filesystem be R(obust)FS?
For now i'm just trying to extract it to its contents so I can examine them

Mount as loop device and chroot into it.

I have very little experience in file systems :/
if we had more 1 mb on Partition kernel + ramdisk(only 5242880 bytes we have ) referency https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Arilp8uJromLdHdrdGpiZ2FSN3daRzRQMkIxR0pCZXc#gid=0(maybe modifications in totoro.pit :/ )
I could easily build a cwm 6.x for us :/

Why not put cwm on sd card ?

Btw, does anyone know of the availability of the LinuStoreIII (FSR) drivers version 1.2.1? The only leaked source code I could find was https://github.com/supercurio/samsung_fsr, but it is version 1.2.0 and the SGY is on 1.2.1
I want to use a new tool chain and upgrade my kernel to 2.6.35.14 …
Maroc-OS somehow managed to build the FSR modules but I just don't get how. Any ideas?

check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801223
for LinuStore III

[Q] read file from data.ext4.tar.a

Hello,
I have backed up my Samsung Galaxy SII i9100 using clockworkmod, and installed the CyanogenMod. Apperently my saved wifi settings, are not restored, and I wondered how to get them back.
I tried restoring the original Samsung image, but it seems broken as after booting the device, i can't see anything on the screen (but I can access it with adb). Now, since the wifi settings are stored in /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf, i thought retrieving this file from my backup files (i assume this file must be in the data.ext4.tar.a file). But I have no clue how to open or mount this file. Is it possible to just get this file and store it in my new installation, or should I try something else?
thanks for you reply,
dvrslype

I think there is no app to open such file type on mobile.
Use winzip on pc, extract that file, push it via ADB or however you prefer.

FK Manager n9600 GSI kernel download configuration link
Copy the n9600_q_vx.zip to your external sd card.
Make sure you have TWRP installed with instructions found in this thread.
Flash the n9600_q_vx.zip
Flash Magisk (only necessary if you have not flashed Magisk previously or if coming from a clean install from stock)
Reboot to system.
If you currently do not have a working lockscreen/pin/fingerprint setup, you will need to restore your stock boot.img either via backup or extract your boot.img from the official firmware and flash the img then flash my kernel.

I don't understand what you mean.
This is an updated pie kernel.
I haven't made anything for pie on the note9 before.

It feels so good to be rocking pie rooted on the n96000. Kinda hilarious because i went and purchased an n960fds last month to get pie/root. I no longer have to live without google camera as it doesnt work on eynos .Thanks alot!

Thank you so much @klabit87 for your continued support of this amazing phone

@klabit87 Thanks a lot for the kernel. I just wonder if after flash, something get lost.. for example encryption.. Samsung health.. or any knox crap dependencies.. Thanks!

Anytime you trip Knox when you unlock your bootloader you will loose something. Encryption is an option and a choice.
Health and whatnot can be fixed but the kernel is not responsible for it.

I successfully compiled kernel with my needed modules, however when using "anykernel" to flash to device, all good except NO WIFI.
I also used the "tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7_by_mkh.mourad" used pulled boot.img from phone to test if tar-tool worked for me and wifi worked, then replaced my compiled Image.gz-dtb , everything works but no wifi.
I pulled proc/config.gz from my working wifi device
then renamed to config_defconfig
then compiled
ran thru tar-tool ,converted to md5.tar
flashed with odin
Works as before NO WIFi
EDIT: Is it possible Magisk has something to do with the kitchen not repacking everthing into new boot.img?
Going to try to repack using magisk tools..
Any sugestions would be helpfull

I meant to respond to this earlier but no magisk isn't breaking wifi. You need to export a couple of variables before compiling.
Code:
export ANDROID_MAJOR_VERSION=p
export PLATFORM_VERSION=9.0.0
add those to your build script or just run them manually before running your build script and the wifi drivers will be included properly.

In light of the most recent update to FK Manager see here for details ------->> https://twitter.com/franciscof_1990/status/1215673739435704320?s=20
I have added support for the kernel download configuration which will allow you to update directly within the app. It will also notify you when an update is ready.
Check the OP for the links to the configuration.
Just copy the link address and paste into the "Import a kernel download configuration" box and done.
You can remove and add different ones if you want as well.

Also wanted to note that I will still post the updates in the OP. I am not going to make the updates only available through the app.
With that said, V5.8 will drop today

New minor update to v5.9.
This will make using gsi and most up to date/latest firmware versions much easier and more compatible.

Sorry I was away,
Yes it went perfect. Thank you.
However since android 4.4 I have compiled kernels and modules with ease.
I really don't have the time to commit to my hobby(Debian on Android) like I used to, so my reading and experience has slipped a bit.
Now I read Android 8.0 and up have "Modular Kernel splitting the device kernel into a system-on-chip (SoC), device, and board-specific deliverables ".
For reasons "ensure a workable booting system remains on the disk during an over-the-air (OTA) update. This approach reduces the likelihood of an inactive device after an update, which means fewer device replacements and device reflashes at repair and warranty centers" as explained here: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab_updates.
Well that's all fine but I still cannot figure out how to tell the system upon bootup to load a specific module. How would I load the module from adb or terminal. The older way ,depmod -a , insmod , modprobe, seems to have no effect with android 8 and up.
I have successfully built modules with:
CONFIG_MODULES=y (and not with...CONFIG_MODULES=m)
CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
After flashing kernel, I can see the module folders under /sys/module and within that folder is another, "parameters" and an empty "uevent" file. Within the "parameters" folder is a file "oom_pages" the content is "256"
So how would I load say "virtio"
The old way would work:
1st: depmod -a
2nd: modprobe virtio
Not working with android 8
By the way Im using ubuntu 16.04 image mounted here: mount -t ext4 -o rw,noatime /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 $mnt
$mnt=/data/local/Linux
As a side note: I like to play around with qemu , virt-manager, (windows-xp runs fast enough to be usable with this snapdragon)
and I can run full Minecraft , haha.

I haven't messed with modules in a long time. I just include what I want in the kernel instead of building modules lol.
I would have to do a little investigating to find the answer you're looking for tbh.
But that's awesome that you can run such different software on your device, mainly the qemu stuff.
If I recall correctly, you need to allow unsigned modules to be loaded as well as remove lkmauth from the kernel.

WI-FI BONDING FIX [Realme 5/5i/5s/NFC]

WIFI BONDING FIX (r5x)
Description :
By default, Realme devices provided an ini file to control the wifi behavior. For (r5x) it appears that Realme somehow messed up a driver flag in WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini causing 40 MHz channel in either 2.4Ghz/5Ghz unsupported.
However after tinkering with WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini I fixed the flag and with my testings, I have successfully run both 2.4Ghz/5Ghz at 40Mhz.
Info :
- Fixes Slow WiFi Network
- For r5x (5/5i/5s/NFC)
Notes :
- A Must Flash Item For r5x (All ROM's)
How To Use :
- Hit Recovery
- Mount System Vendor
- Flash Reboot
Download
Credits :
- Me For The Fix
- @shygos_strn for covering up my lazyness

is realme 5 pro included? I've tried it and still getting 65mbps on realme 5 pro, it's not working
