[KERNEL] GT-I9000 insecure kernels for use with rooting - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

Many of you seem to think that you have been abandonded by the developers moving to the GT-I9100, I do not think this is the case, but you have to remember that developing for a new phone is more fun
Anyway, some of you will already know about my insecure kernels for the GT-I9100, well since Gingerbread on the GT-I9000 I have also been using insecure kernels for my own personal use and have now decided to release them, since if you are like me and like to keep your phone as close to stock as possible they may be of some use to you.
If you like my work, maybe you would like to say thanks by buying me a beer
Insecure Kernels:-
GT-I9000_XWJVZ_insecure
GT-I9000_XWJW1_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVP_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVQ_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVR_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVS_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVT_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVU_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJW4_insecure
password = [email protected]
a quick method for rooting would be:-
Code:
adb remount
adb push busybox /system/xbin/
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb shell chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chown root.shell /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell /system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
You need to make sure that busybox and su are in the same folder as you are typing the adb commands.
You could also push superuser.apk if you have it local:-
adb install superuser.apk
You can use these files to return to the stock kernel if you wish, you will still be rooted but adb will not be running as root on first login via shell.

Mine is ok, maybe a bug in JVS makes an incompatibilty problem with your router? Try to flash the JVS original kernel and see if the problem still exists, you will still keep root.

As you probably know, this is not only zach asking kindly or xda-rules. GPL licence, on which android kernel is based, clearly states to release updated source along with the build.
Developers are always welcome when they follow this. Bet you get help here to setup github.
Failing to comply usually ends in some banned/thread locked.

The kernel is not compiled from sources, its only a 4 byte change which is injected to the stock kernel. That is the reason there is no source released, the Admins and Mods know this already and the reason this thread is still here alive and not locked.
and its the reason it works correctly with XXJVS.

Froyo standard JPM kernel with su from Superuser apk included

I did that for myself but it could be useful, so why not share it!
This is the standard Froyo JPM kernel build from sources
It contains the su binary which calls Superuser.apk
Download this app from the market, and you're all set ^^

PS: I'm not sure every apps are happy with the need to call su from /sbin, which is in the ramdisk.
At least you can do everything you want from adb, and once you're root there is no limit
thank you very much.

The difference is that Chainfire uses the Samsung compiled kernel, while this one is compiled from GPL sources. Should be no differences, but for some reason this kernel is a lot bigger than the Samsung one. Anybody know why? Compiler options?

Interesting I also would like to know what's the difference before I try to flash it on my SGS.
By the way, thanks to supercurio, RyanZA and all the developers
main diff for me is this is just a rooted kernel. it doesn't come with other goodies like superuser, and more imptly the e2 recovery which means i cna't do apply update.zip from the recovery mode using this kernel.
but i look forward to supercurio on the voodoo fix

So with this, su is in sbin instead of system/xbin. Can we not move it/copy it to xbin if necessary? Is this a big deal?

Yes you can. In fact, CF-Root does exactly that... it also contains all files in /sbin and /res, but at first boot install them to /system.

Yes that's it
This kernel does no special action ^^ it's just JM2 compiled from sources (presumably the same as Samsung's compiled) with an added file in /sbin
It's a bigger because for some reason the modules are quite big once compiled, they're probably not fully stripped and... because I included the ext4 kernel modules
hey ...
did u use z4build to implement ext4 support?
or can i run it and then use update.zip (z4mod) for ext4?
quick reply would be great ... just flashed to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796987

Hi sir,
I download the ramdisk voodoo provide from http://project-voodoo.org/downloads/Voodoo-beta4-GT-I9000-ramdisk.tar.bz2 and compile it with official JPM source code. So far no problem during compilation. But I know the ramdisk /lib/module/ file is slightly different from what i extract from official zImage.
So my question is, is your ramdisk compatible with froyo source code from samsung?
thanks,

Modules for Gingerbread (cifs/ext4)

Because of the newer kernel for Gingerbread (2.6.35.7) we need newer modules for cifs and ext4. Compiled them:
download here: http://xda.richardtrip.org/?dir=tab/Gingerbread/modules
Before you ask.... a tun.ko is not needed (compiled in the kernel).
Correct me if im wrong but will these modules give us EXT4 support on ginger ?

Download the modules to /system/lib/modules/ (or anywhere really, just not the SD card) then load them using insmod. If you need them of every boot you can use an init.d script to load them automatically
For those of you who are inept, please find a link below to the same modules inside a CWM flashable zip.

Unfortunatly, init.d doesn't work in current version...
Tried to manually load as per instructions.
Didn't seem to do anything to assist my cifs manager. Figured I'd go back to my nandroid backup I'd made just before. Stuck on Samsung screen. on reboot after restore
Had to do a restock and rebuild. As say in previous post learning a lot ..........like always take an Nandroid
Think I'll be leaving this to the experts and wait for a new already compiled kernel

Cifs mananager doesn't help you. But it is simple to do that manually:

#mount -r -t cifs -o <YourShareName,login,password> <MountingPoint>

[ROM] ICS with UNSUPPORTED HW HACK

This is a thread for all of those interested in the HW Hack that has been applied to the current WIP ICS for Desire ROM. This is to keep you out of the development thread for the ICS ROM and keep it clean. Any questions should be asked in here and if anyone wants to develop it, go ahead. As mentioned many times in the original thread, they are not supporting this, so don't ask them! Funnily enough, neither am I, I am sick of reading questions pertaining to something that is mentioned every page as UNSUPPORTED.
Flash in the order the files are listed.
Copy and pasted from ICS thread:
UNSUPPORTED 0.3.5 WITH HW HACK * (Stock HBOOT)
http://fyels.com/FCx
UNSUPPORTED 0.3.5 WITH HW HACK * (CM7R2 HBOOT)
http://www.mediafire.com/?v2c6s8w77s6cscc
Kernel is NEEDED (should be the same as last build but reuploaded because of some complaints
http://fyels.com/Frt
If you need to flash superuser:
http://fyels.com/M8t
What's working:
HW accelration! (with errors)
WiFi
SMS
GPS
Sound
Calling
Touchscreen
Stable 3G
Gmail sync + calendar working with gmail
SD read/write
All sensors
BT
Picaza sync
Fixed permissions (3rd party apps that needed maps now works)
Headphones
App2sd ( the stock included not app2sd+ or app2ext)
GoogleBackup
What's not working:
Camera
Forgot to add USB (charges + adb nothing more)
and probably alot more
Thanks to:
Sharky154 (DHD), drewis (N1), Chaosz-X, DJ_Jedi, Nikez, Raphael, SamStorer, Chichoko, Vaporizer, andreigherge, Tristan202, fused, rootSU for the original ICS ROM.

i am trying out this rom.. it is definitely smoother than the other rom. But i faced a problem, i am unable to download and install whatsapp from the market. Though i have enough space to install it on my internal memory, the message that is given was not enough memory. I think this is due to the 5mb of cache in the Cm7r2 hboot. Is there a way to symlink such that apps from the market are downloaded to the sdcard before installation?

Use terminal emulator and try this. (Alternatively use adb shell)

cd /cache/
rm -R download
mkdir /mnt/asec/marketcache
ln -s /mnt/asec/marketcache download

Because you started spamming the other thread with pointless questions. The need for clean thread where those actively participating in development could obtain information needed without roaming the endless posts about something which could hardly benefit the development warrants the need for a new thread.

[Developer Discussion] JB Rom Creation

Hi All,
I'm starting this thread so that we can compile in one location the methods we attempted to create a zip for the recent Jellybean update, and hopefully advance the creation of this rom. This should be mentioned before starting.
ONLY POST IF YOU HAVE RELEVENT INFORMATION REGARDING THIS JELLYBEAN ROM.
This Includes:
Procedures
Logcats
Test Builds
Helpful Suggestions (Be Specific)
To start, I've attempted the following alterations on the zip level:
Straight System dump with updated updater-script
System dump with default updater script
Modified updater script removing patch elements
Utilizing the Canadian Rom, which flashed and appplying new system.
Swapping out radio flashing and boot.img with shellnutt's boot.img
I also have the following plans:
System Dump on Canadian Rom, and default boot.img
Recursive Deleting of patched files
Example
Code:
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/3rd_party/videowiz/lib/libMvMMAS.so", "65cfe8efc36cf58669e5fb9f30274bc49c3f9703", "e1a051bb2562af8d9b106ef4b875f85a6109ee9e"));
set_progress(0.003080);
delete("/system/3rd_party/videowiz/lib/libMvMMAS.so");
Than initiate the normal package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
Any other information would be great. Some developers have gotten it to flash but not boot.
Also, here's a link to the test builds I released.
http://goo.im/devs/AdriVelazquez/Roms/Nightlies/TestSprint
Thanks to all the developers that have been working on it.
This is what I've tried:
Used the boot.img & system.img. from dump to compile a rom in dxsdia's kitchen. I was able to apply root to the boot.img and compiled a zip but it wont flash. I then added the updater script from the dump but it still wouldn' t flash. Ithink my problem is in the updater script. I didn't take thetime to configure the kitchen properly for the optimus G but will do so tonight. I have the 2 test zips at home and I'll post them tonight if anyone wants to take a look.
Suggestion:
Since houstonns Korean port boots, and all is well except radio, would it also help to look at that system dump along with the Canadian? Maybe something to utilize?

As I don't own the device I need your guys' help with creating a flashable zip for you guys. Lrod0175 requested my help. What I need is your system mount points. To get those open up Terminal Emulator and enter these commands:
Code:
$ su
# cat /proc/emmc
I need what is printed out.

Please, for safety, only use the by-name mount points. Below are the partitions for the American and Candian variants.

I'm using the by-name mount points. Wasn't sure if the Optimus G was proc/emmc or not.
Thanks dastin for answering and thanks guys for getting what he needs to help us.

I sent Adriel build.prop file but forgot I could copy text and post to pastebin. That's why we both posted. Lol.

[GUIDE]Rooting your phone...from your phone [ALL US SGS3]

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)
DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.
Prerequisites
The following files are attached to this post for convenience. Download and install the apps, download and extract the zip file somewhere convenient.
Superuser by Koush(MUST be this one. You can change it later if you so desire.)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich ( MUST be this one)
Zip file, extracted somewhere convenient

THE GOODS
These generic names will be used:
/path/to/motochopperDir - This is the full path to the extracted motochopper-mobile DIRECTORY or FOLDER. Example: /sdcard/motochopper-mobile (will vary depending on where you extracted the files).
NOTE: After running the script, Motochopper may or may not print "Failed", but the exploit DOES indeed work regardless of this. Make sure you reboot for changes to take effect.

Download the attached zip file AND both apps.
Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).
Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.
Code:
cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir
From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.
Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)
Code:
cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto

Jack Palevich and Koush for their apps, especially Jack Palevich. This would not be possible without the shared permissions on his app's data directory.

Probably not. I'm assuming that you will have to use ROM Manager to install CWM or TWRP.

I can confirm it works on the latest MD4 4.1.2 stock rom. So any version below that is good.
Hey I tried this on my friend's S3, and the phone is still not rooted after three attempts. On stock MD4 4.1.2. Any thoughts?

Cleaning up
Exploit finished reboot phone........
When I reboot the superuser says... Su binary needs to be updated. When I try to install gives me an error message.
I'm on cm 4.2.2 root was broken.
It seems to be working for some and not for others. Can't say exactly what the issue without interrogating everyone who tried
I personally tested before posting and it worked fine for me
