Droid X bootloader hacked?!?!

Yeah that's my site. Alias was crunched and stressed, so I took on PR for him. The mirrors should be up when I get home from school (midterms and a delay in the start just messed up the time, so when I get the tarball the mirrors will be up).

As discussed in the primary thread for this, this is really useful - when software is finally developed for it. This is the spring board, but now the ROM devs need to get working- between hardware (here's looking at you radio...) and actual ROMs to take advantage, this is cool but not end-user useful just yet.

To learn about it. I really like learning about my stuff so I can repair it if needed. I have school too in the morning so I likeyour sleeping idea.

It's time to blow this scene...

Dont tell me your in high-school and was able to hijack the DX boot-loader something no one really has done this far........ I am in college and still would not be able to do it. Props bro.

Yeah, I'm in high school. 17 to be exact. Been programming pretty much since I could read. And dude if you can develop I really could use some help on the rest of the bootloader.

So how is this going to keep efuse from doing its dirty work?

It uses the stock kernel as a bootloader. Also, I think that eFuse stuff is a load of bull. all of those components don't really have the proper intelligence to do all of the nasty things that people say they do.

so im trying to understand this if you dont think the efuse is legit was it all just hype on motorola's part and people were just afraid they were gonna fry their phone if they messed with it?

The efuse is legit, it just doesn't do what people fearmongered.
 
Yeah. There probably are efuses on the board, probably to blow when it overheats, not when we mess with it.

This is one of those "I will believe it when I see it" moments. Not that I won't be happy if it does work, but that it's just VERY hard to believe...

Talked it over with someone and now I see what the whole point of this is. I will move along now. ;)

He's right, I'll probably have your babies, I might be a male but if science unlocks this bootloader it can make me pregnant, too.

Regardign

Wow I refuse to use something made by someone younger than me (20)..... Nah its jealously =/ i am very happy actually and yet realizing how much I still need to accomplish thanks for motivating me and giving the community something not even the legendary Koush attempted. I think.
 
How to

I know this is really only for advanced users but I still want to try it anyways. Can someone show me how to do this exactly dumb down the steps? Thanks!
