kexec bootloader bypass information thread

[pc747]

Awesome news to see for android community. Oems locking phones and not updating is getting old. Glad the community was able to not only just get around the locks but put itself in a position to at least get builds on ICS and jb.

This is great news!!!!! Quick (noob) question. Is the Kexec module built into SS or does it need to be baked into the ROM?

 

[ovelayer]

hash said it would be baked into SS
im trying to get hash to enable flashing on both safe and non safe as well....we will see lol

Sweet. Will we still have the ability to "flash custom kernels" while using the same recovery? Or will we need to flash a different SS in order to use a "different kernel," or will we be limited to just that one ICS kernel? I'm just trying to learn a little more about this.

I believe hash said the newlike kernel wouldof be thethe new keneld3 of choiceit powering most roms ect..so you really shouldn't need to flash a new kernel but yes I believe the new SS should have this ability unless he hardcodes it in

Been in the bottle? Jk. Ok, that's all I wanted to know. I'll put my hand down now. I don't want to be "that guy."

Well I think for now at least there will only be one kernel. Hash tweeted that there will be one unified kernel for all devices, so seems like it may be some time before different kernels are available or possible.

Ok, cool. I was just asking "for future reference." And trying to get an understanding of the whole Kexec thing.

Same here, lol. As soon as Hash gets it booting and working properly, I'm probably going to try out an ICS ROM. As long as that kernel will allow video and everything that is currently broken to work like it's supposed to.

I to am waiting for this. In the mean time, I'll be playing with Jelly Bean on my new Nexus 7 and ICS on my old Nook Color.
