Root Custom Behold 2 Kernel.. ODIN Ready. 1.5

So for those of us who are illiterate with all of this tech talk, am I correct in this translation?

BH_MAN is working on a way to get the updated kernel out to everyone? Essentially getting the full update as delivered from Samsung/TMobile minus the bloatware?

correct, plus his new way gives us 100% "true" root. Also he is working on making the custom kernel, so that we may run galaxy 2.1!

+1. U got my vote if you are BH_MAN. :D Also if we do ever get a nice custom kernel that'll work with galaxy 2.1, I will buy you a 6-pack!!! :p

A thank You is good enough :)

@everyone

I'm waiting for a crib to be shipped, so I'll get more Dev. time in...
Damn 10am - 2pm, I hate not having a Set time...
 
I have (well for the next few days) an extra Behold2 (no update, but have not tried to force it yet) that needs to be returned to TMO. Is there anything I can do to help test with this unit since I have no fear of bricking it?
 
Great work BH_MAN!!

I'm staring at a kernel dump of UVJA3 right now. I'll get it uploaded within the hour.

FYI, the AMSS code also changed in the new version. I'll bundle that in as well.

Cool thanks...
It's not liking something for sure, and to be honest not sure I can Fix it.
But I'm Positive that it's the Header not Matching, which is hard to reproduce given I don't have the header from an Updated ODIN file for the kernel.

where would you have to get an Updated ODIN file from? Samsung is the only one who can make this?

From a Leak :) But, I don't want anyone losing there Job just so we can Play.
It would be Nice, but the Cost wouldn't be worth it.

ODIN is not accepting the tar files?

There is no special Samsung header involved. The tar files have to be in usTar format. I've posted about this here: http://androidforums.com/samsung-be...ris-found-work-still-needed-2.html#post428189

Also.. it sounds like your custom kernel is a drop in replacement for the original. Does this mean you got RFS working?!

The kernel and AMSS dump files are here: http://www.2shared.com/file/12161860/ae26249c/uvja3-rawfiles.html

Yes it's Drop in, but I only Modified the Ramdisk. RFS is working fine :)
This could be the source of the trouble when trying to add the new Kernel to the Ramdisk. But, not sure as of now. Not had whole lot of time to play with it.
 
I found an error in the Edited kernel I posted... Even though it allows rw, I forgot to set the SH as root so SU will work correctly for Superuser.apk /system/bin/su

I'll get an update posted shortly.

the one that is posted now and or the one that your about to post, is it still the older kernel or is it the updated kernel?

It's the Older Kernel...
But to be Honest, like I said... My Buddy at Samsung said there's nothing Life changing in the Kernel.

The changes where mainly in the OS not the Kernel.
 
so do you think i would have better advantages with the edited (older) kernel that you made over the new kernel unedited

I had a Look at the AMSS, Um? I'm not going to even mess with this.. Though it would be nice to see what the changes was, I would only get one try.. If wrong, well, then I'll be looking at a bricked phone.

I'll leave this one to somebody better at Hex editing than me :)
 
Okay, I got the Kernel Done that Enables shell as Root. Man, Samsung really really don't want use messing around with this stuff.. Just adding a Few command into the init.rc breaks everything.... Finally got it working though :)

With this Kernel you have Full Access via ADB only... Root for App's You must allow / Deny

If you want root for app on a stock rom, you'll need to push the SU file to /system/bin & chmod 04755. Like So.

adb push ( File location of su ) /system/bin
adb shell
chmod 04755 /system/bin/su
Click to expand...
I'll be including root for apps like I always do in the Rom I make, just want to give a Heads up on this though..

*EDIT*
Revision 2 is Now Posted w/ the Shell Fix

BH_MAN will this modified kernel be included as part of your custom roms? Maybe this is a stupid question.

As of now no... Once I get the system ( Updated ) into a Flash-able image. I'll Include the Kernel & the System in a ODIN ready package.
