kexec bootloader bypass

User Kholk says he has a working bootloader bypass for the GSM razr, which basically allows him to run a unsigned kernel on the razr, which has a locked bootloader, it works, but still loading the motorola bootloader and kernel, but after booting the stock bl and kernel, it bypasses them and boots again in a unsigned custom kernel. here is the razr thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519448 and here is a thread about talks of porting it to the droid 3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594406&page=3 . if they port it to the droid 3 id say there is a good chance it could be ported to the atrix 2 and other similar moto devices.
This basically wont be much different that having a fully unlocked bootloader XD and will lead to easier AOSP based rom development, and of course allow for custom kernels to be loaded !!!

We already have e memebr here that is working on the port and as soon as he gets permission will get it to us

Sweetness, finally stupid moto locked bootloaders D: . maybe we will see fully working CM9 soon or atleast cm7 .
Oh and btw is there anyone with a working safestrap setup on the atrix 2 who would be willing to test my cm9 build? I dont have access to a atrix 2 atm to test my self.

Not asking for a time of release, but just curious when did they begin working on the port?

I'm not being rude I swear I'm just wondering why only one person can can work this port at a time, isn't it kinda the more minds the faster it goes? I'm sure there is some red tape or a good decent reason I'm just curious...

I wasn't saying you couldnt work on it, I was just stating that we have a memeber here who has been working on it and probably has it ready to release, he is just waiting for Kholk to release it and word that he can relaease it.
Just trying to save some of you some time, thats all

Kholk released it today, for razr, but cpu1 (2nd core) still isnt working, but its something XD

AT&T put extra security measures in the a2.those are making the kexec bypass much harder to implement on our phone.the member working on it is working closely with kholk,embeem and others to get this done.

Oh OK I see I was just making sure it wasn't rude to try on my own... thank u

does it mean:
compile a kexec module and install it after booted, and change kernel while system running. is this right?

thank you,

How long???
I have 15 days left before I can return my Atrix 2. I truly despise this POS device because of the lack of an open bootloader. That is my fault for not checking on here before I bought it. My questions is, should I just return it or is an unlocked bootloader on the horizon, (3 weeks or so. Heh heh). Thanks.

As far as the bootloader goes we'll call it even odds on being unlocked eventually. However I have spoken with the developer working on kexec for the A2 and it is nearly ready. He's just got a couple of issues to work out before releasing it to everyone. Don't give up a2 owners,hope is on the horizon!

Yeah don't give up hope!! We will have a bootloader bypass, and ICS/CM9 soon enough!

Ok, ok, you guys convinced me. I want so badly to have my A2 working like my A1 was. So bummed I dropped it. Don't drink and text, kids!

Am I beating a dead horse..... This seems to be the answer same bootloader as raz should be able to get something going.....

Hope something amazing comes out of this!

If you take a look in the bootloader unlock thread, I posted a link to grab the one Kholk released. I worked on this for months, and tested it and compiled and worked with these guys and on my own.... But Kholk has released it, and it has been tested and it is working, but we now need a kernel. I am working on releasing my CM7 kernel and build here very soon.

Cyanogen mod????

Every other good phone has it...even the ones with locked BL like defy......
Come on guys..we have one of the best phones .....atrix 2 aint bull****...if not everything then maybe CM would atleast make most of us happy......be a team ..if not many then atleast one awsomely working CM ....i dont want samsung or htc....look at them ..brick bug or touch issues or battery backup........we have no issues except BL ......
And can someone tell me when kexec comes out.. usable for us.....
Im happy though with my A2

I dont know anything...but its a harsh truth that moto wont unlock bootloader..

Locked boot loader means NO CM7/9.
PERIOD.
Whatever the defy boys have is probably some half-arsed hacked port.
Please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, search before you ask next time.

Do a search... we already have done something similar, it is slow, and not worth it, since we don't have space on the internal storage to put the 2nd ROM, so it MUST go on the SDcard.
It was abandoned due to the fact that it was so slow it was unusable. Besides there are many of us that have been working to get CM7 and CM9 working from a port without success.... but you are more than welcome to jump in and lend a hand, we have a post in the dev section about it for aokp and CM9.

Do you mean as in a multi boot?
The Defy I had, I flashed a defy+ sbf too then plonked cm9 on, no 2nd rom/boot or such.
My understanding was that the purpose of 2nd init was to hijack the init process and allow to boot into boot manager.
I'm also guessing bootmanager would need to be built from source to suit the A2?
I've read a few of your posts mate, worked with Linus? Legend.
You will by far know more than I do these days, but I'll see what I can do to help.
First I'll deodex the ics leak I'm running and make a Cwm backup to upload. Not sure how useful it will be due to the kernel.
The U.S, Europe and Asia hardware is all different?
The one last thing I remember from defy was I had to use at&t baseband since telecom nz uses the same carrier frequency.
And ran the defy+ rom on old red lense ddfy without a single issue at defy+ stock clock freq

Yeah we used a util called safestrap that another dev and I patched to make it work on this phone that was originally from hashcode.
It allowed us to boot another ROM on say our SDcard, but again it still has to use our kernel due to the bootloader issue...
The only way around the bootloader as of now is by using kexec, and that only works with 1 CPU and can only load a "stock based" unsigned kernel, so the CM stuff is out.
We are working to get CM9 and or AOKP booting from a port on our phone using the stock GB kernel. There is a post on it in the dev section.
Yeah Linus is a Friend, a great guy and I can't say enough good things about him. I have not seen him since the last Linux world / Opensource world now as it is called.
Yeah you should jump in and join the frey, we can always use more help in here.

Well it wasn't hard to work out how to get a 2nd init style boot. (As in, blue light, press vol down, gets bootmenu)
Except bootmenu is garbled screen. I need to test more, and probably mod some of the scripts.
Heres a system nandroid of ICS http://www.4shared.com/archive/bp3qzA9o/Atrix2-ICS-NANDROID__672112asi.html
Dunno how much use it will be since I didn't get the kernel.

Got it.... thanks

Could any one make a miui V4 for Atrix 2

I have been using miui.for XT701 for a long time。 everything works very well.but I feel very bad after i buy a new Atrix 2 last month. rom for A2 is little。there is no roms such like CM7/9 and miui. It seems that make a miui for A2 is easier.Can any one make one for our Atrix 2 .Thank
you very much.
And Please forgive me for English。

Sorry but that is not possible right now.
We have a locked bootloader on the atrix2 so, there is not a way to install non-stock ROMs until we can figure a way to get the bootloader unlocked. This also applies to AOSP and AOKP ROMs as well. The issue is these all require kernels to run, and you can not flash a kernel with a locked bootloader.

The ATRIX 2's bootloader is locked, therefore such roms as you've mentioned will not be 1) made for the ATRIX 2 nor 2) work on the ATRIX 2 until the bootloader is unlocked. A few simple forum searches could have shed some understanding regarding this, had you taken the time to do so. We're all getting unnecessarily frustrated seeing new locked bootloader-related and ICS/JB threads posted here when doing a little leg work to research on your own before cluttering up the forum would answer most -if not all of your questions. Please read this thread and watch the video (again) so hopefully we can manage to quell these types of things before they get out of hand more than they've already gotten: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778853

There's always a benefit of root my friend. First and for most is removing bloarware (AT&T preinstalled apps that take up memory and space in background) So many other reasons why root is best. How I describe it to people is like this. Taking a Governor off a car is similar to rooting an android phone. Technically there is only one ROM made from OTA ICS right now here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960679 but there are others in the development section built of previous ICS "Leaks" we obtained. Such as SCV7, Swifty Trix, CM10, MIUI and a stock based off OTA as well. Hope this helped explain a little. Enjoy the power of the Dark side! :thumbup:

Umm, cm10 is a true opensource rom and not based on any leak/OTA, it is compiled from scratch. The only files taken from ICS are a few libraries and kernel modules and the like, and those have no bearing on version of ICS they were taken from.

I am probably not an ideal tester, due to lack of technical knowledge regarding Android, but should you need a tester of the moderate abilities, and knowledge I would be more than willing to be of help if I actually was help. I currently am running the build of CM10 that is currently available, and am impressed with it, but look forward to your build with much anticipation. I can only take off my hat, as it were, to you, and all of the developers in this arena.

No, and no. No on 2nd system because it still uses the same underlying stock ICS kernel.
If you took the OTA, then you are stuck on ICS. This has been the case with major android releases and not being able to go backward for a very long time.

Cyanogenmod, yes its official

No!! The bootloader is still locked.
CyanogenMod is open and if a known dev makes a request for a branch to be made official it only needs an approval from other "official" CyanogenMod devs/board members. A review by the requested members, is all that is needed to make it an official branch.

So I don't see any nightlys up, I'm a little confused, is it so freshly supported that it hasn't been built yet?

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

my camera cannot record in 1080p either
i tried to flash cm10.1.3 with jbx 0.8.1 based on
1. hktw 4.0.4(220), bl version is 0.65, bmm version is 0.3.4
2. hktw 4.1.2(404), bl version is 0.65, bmm version is 0.3.4
3. hktw 4.1.2(404), bl version is 0.73, bmm version is 0.3.4
it seems nothing difference...
it is really much stable, but, i cant trust in it..., my phone crashed about 3 times in a month,
now, i flashed the cm10.1.3 based on a Asia 4.0.4, and i will let it run some day to test
btw, another question
does your phone run on cm10.1.3?
if so, what's the name of the sd card in setting->storage,
it's very strange in my phone, it's named 'connecting to xxx vpn...', not 'sd card', i dont know why and how to change it to be normal...

There is a question and answer section for questions and answers. You'll get more help if you follow the rules and post in the appropriate sections/threads.

Looking forward :laugh:

Is it possible to flash any AOSP ROM to system slot on Atrix 2 with BMM?

Official CyanogenMod remains a dream for our A2....

good attempt at trolling on atrix 2. They should have closed mouth, can not do anything better?

So what are we to expect here?

Nothing official from CyanogenMod, I'm afraid. We'd have to live with the unofficial builds only. And also, I guess, there would be no fix for 1080p recording or HDMI issues.
