Yeah same thing happened to me a couple times aha
 
Maybe somebody can help me out here. There is a file located in /dev called Apr_apps2 and I wanna have a look at it. Problem is it must be a large file and the closest my phone comes to copying it to SD card is several minutes followed by a reboot. Can anyone try to copy this to their SD card and possibly host it? Or if you manage to get it copied over tell me what app you used, I'm trying with root explorer.

I tried pulling it with adb and it says 0 bytes, and when I look at the properties in ES file explorer, under file size it shows N/A
 
I've lost my phone to USB cable which is why I'm asking. The phone doesn't wanna give it up lol. The permissions are rw only which is why the phone won't report a size until the file is copied to the SD. Thanks for trying I appreciate it. I'm off to buy a cable tomorrow I really wanna see this file...
Edit... I tried to zip it and it says bad size. Strange
 
My guess is its a file being written on constantly meaning its a blank file and only displays data wen u look at it or causes funky issues wen pulling or zipping etc, theres no real way but maybe using the command "cat"?
 
Yea I was thinking that. Something else I found is our persist block keeps a log of anything we do with our phone from installing 2nd int recovery to cm10 and on....
 
More trouble...
Code: 
arch/arm/mm/alignment.c: In function 'do_alignment':
arch/arm/mm/alignment.c:298:15: warning: 'offset.un' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
error, forbidden warning: alignment.c:298
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/mm/alignment.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/arm/mm] Error 2


Code: 
make ARCH=arm l0-perf_defconfig
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE="~/Desktop/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-" make -j1
 
I was able to compile kexec, but it won't insert and doesn't seen to be outputting errors to dmesg. Any ideas?
 
I'm assuming your using the kexec already modified for the ms8960. Likely changes needed to match our phone. It creates A configuration log have you checked that?
 
I am using the source for the Samsung Galaxy s3 msm8960. I did not know about this log. I believe the problem lies in it being built against a different kernel. Anyone know how to get our kernel source to build it as a module?

That's the link to the arm7 compiled kexec. Probably better than off a Samsung. Also it seems it would be easier to implement in cyanogen rather than stock.
 
Since we don't have a thread like the one you guys got here,I thought I'd share this if you guys don't know this already.on my spirit I came across what are boot loader is under on hidden menu it says( AP BOOTLOADER VERSION---should be implemented)just sharing hope it could help.Keep up the good work guys i got a good feeling this will be cracked soon..

I'm not sure it has or hasn't been yet.
 
Yes breaking down the hidden menu.apk it shows you a bootloader version/info option. I haven't searched to see if its actually in any of the hidden menus.
 
Has anyone tried freegee from the play store.I did I got my code entered it and success smb1 unlocked successful but i just haven't grown big enough balls to reboot my phone edit ....just don't feel like unbricking method right now if all goes south .
