[REF] switch to another modem version without recovery - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

Hi all,
months ago i found an easy way to change the modem on your phone without the need to go into the recovery mode. i planned to publish it about a months ago when i was still playing with the I9000 and reclaimed invaluable nand space but then i switched to I9100. actually the trick is simple and can be used on both I9000 and I9100 (or may be others as well, not tested)

I'm a newb but I flash new modem via ODIN and it takes about 5s to complete. This looks more complex unless you know what you are doing.

If you want to use Froyo modem ont GB rom, the CWM files will not always be compatible.
I also did the trick (to save some space to have a cache part >50Mo to download heavy apps with new market) and it works well
PS: i see that you managed to switch the system/dbdata/data/cache location.
Is it possible to do this without compiling a new kernel?

just an example only
and yes, I used to flash via cwm also and released a skeleton zip file before, but I find it much easier to chg the modem, and to get 12mb more disk space

[ROM][Odin and CWM] Deodexed and Zipaligned Stock XWJV1

The firmware is:
*Deodexed
*Zipaligned
*Rooted and busybox is pre-installed
*gps.conf at /system/etc is changed to make use of European pool(europe.pool.ntp.org)
*build.prop is based on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988289
*Heap-size is reduced to 32MB to make better use of device memory]

Odin package: Download (223.8 MB) (7zip SFX, Double-Click to extract) MD5:af96eae2e310e4ae91d7ffe1340ccf79
PDA: XWJV1
Modem: XXJVE
CSC: OXXJV1(MultiCSC)
This is an Odin flash-able package of 3 files that allows re-partitioning and changing Modem and CSC files.
I have tested the firmware while re-partitioning using 512.pit and 803.pit and Froyo 2.2.1 CSC files. No boot.bin or Sbl.bin are included, it will not update bootloaders.

This firmware has the hacked kernel by supercurio, for safety reason you need to download and extract Voodoo Internal SDcard from the link above and copy the extracted Voodoo folder to the Internal SD-card of your device before flashing the firmware, this will prevent Voodoo from converting the file system to EXT4 on first boot.
You have to keep Voodoo folder on the Internal SD-card if you intend to use the stock RFS file system, but if you need to enable Voodoo then remove the folder and reboot the device, then let supercurio's chipmunk do it's business.

You should be able to still use an archiver such as WinRAR to unpack it without having to run it, even if in SFX format.

It's a 7zip archive which can decompressed on Windows and Linux.
Edit: I have disabled the download link as I found a minor issue, I will fix this in a few min.
Can I flash this with repartioning on CM7 directly or should I go back to stock 2.2.1 first ?
And does this rom have a lot of static pops and cracks while listening to music that Stock 2.3 beta has ?
I'm uploading the new firmware, the issue was minor, there was a line missing in build.prop which I forgot to add:
# Samsung USB default mode
persist.service.usb.setting=0
If the user chooses Settings>Wireless and networ>USB settings Setting will crash, and the device cannot connect to kies.
I will add the correct build.prop to the first post telling how to copy it.
How did you root it? (kernel?)

It's like any other stock firmware that you flash with Odin, I don't know if you should re-partition because you have CM7. I did not experience any static pops on this firmware, although I did not hear a lot music on this firmware, but no issues so far.
I really can't see any difference. It feels the same (like the odexed stock version) to me. I had flashed the odexed stock with 803 pit including the bootloaders and already patched the build.prop. I flashed this one without repartition (I was on 512 pit this time). Seems that the only thing missing is the framework-res.apk with the lock animation (TV-CRT) .
I'll be back if I find something else.
Thanks.
Almost forgot: It did wipe even without repartition
And you should mention that no bootloaders included.

Try this, do a factory-reset at recovery and see if it's still the same. XWJV1 does lag as I remember it, this does not, maybe once in a while, but it can't be the same as the stock firmware.

In any case, its incorrect.
You should only deodex if you need to make smali changes to the firmware. Images can still be replaced in odexed builds.
If you are really measuring speed, odex version's first boot is instant whereas deodex'ed version's first boot is hella long. After first boot, they are equivalent in speeds.
As for zipalign, it is suppose to reduce ram usage of an apk, so even there you won't notice a speed difference.
Hope that makes it clear.

I agree....
there should always be a warning
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
It is jokingly said that dd stands for "disk destroyer", "data destroyer", "death and destruction", or "delete data", since when used for low-level operations on hard disks, a small mistake, such as reversing the if and of (input and output) parameters, could result in the loss of some or all data on a disk.

sorry guys for this question, but the reason why i want to remove cwm because, if someday i had to sent my phone to the service center i must remove cwm, if they found out, maybe they will decline my phone..
Flash back stock FW...everything will be restored....
What's the point Binary count to show phone is rooted is there as I know Samsung don't bother if you have rooted in Malaysia.....

That does not seem like a safe way to get root. So you are using the Sprint way of gaining root access?
Is it just me or does this seem sketchy?

agreed, i've already returned one GS3 because i got ahead of myself and flashed a .tar in Odin that i shouldn't have. i'm gonna wait til more people can confirm Clockwork fully working on the T mobile variant.
So this is the partition layout for the sprint variant.
/boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
/efs ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p20
/recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p19
/data auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 length=-16384
/system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p14
/cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
/external_sd vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1
I don't know if ours is exactly the same but the part that matters is that our recovery partition is mounted in the same place. That is the only part you are modifying with this. The root should be pretty generic that shouldn't cause problems. I am currently running titanium backup to restore all my data. So its up to you if you want to try it but, It works and that includes CWM and the Root.

I assume, stock rom & firmware?
The only thing I can imagine at at the moment would be a complete erase & reflash with Odin so that there would be enough memory in /system for installing the root-exploit.
Installing the root-exploit was the first thing I've done.

It's smooth, everything works pretty well, but it isn't usable as daily driver
is a bit complicated,why they didnt provide any zip file which they did for nexus 4
For God Sake someone read what he asks!

His question was literally answered in the first post. But for anyone with an aversion to links, you can't flash it with TWRP.

So does this mean I can just backup my current ROM, wipe and then flash all zips except for the recovery and then I have Ubuntu? Can I go back to my current ROM with TWRP exclusively?
I'm a bit worried about, like, everything.
Sure, no problem.
Just be sure to get rid of /data/ubuntu before your next nandroid. On my device I always fail to restore when it's in.

make sure you do wipes before install. Reboot and you are good to go. Tried that last night but wasn't impressed!

Me neither...
That's an official release ?
i had flashed but phone not boot
which files to use for dual boot?
I'm really interested on Ubuntu Touch, anyone with more comments about this last update? Is working well for daily use or just for test purpose ?
Thanks

Just for test...
Waiting for daily use release to make a decision with native app. I think this is one of the biggest flaws of android
is it ok (not affect anything) to not install the boot, recovery, and system img file?
Just install with your recovery like itasoulas say :good:
