Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

I need nat & redirect capabilities, but i can't flash a unsigned kernel (simlocked phone).
Can nat & redirect support be compiled as a kernel modules to load them later with open sudo ?

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

Unfortunately no, as they depend on certain kernel options being set on the kernel at compile time.

I did not know that N9 was ever sold as simlocked. Have you asked your operator to remove the simlock, I think they are obliged to do that (even though they might charge 10 euros for it...)

How about wiping the device with "--erase-user-data=secure" as that might also clear the simlock?

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

Uhhh!, ****.
I'm waiting for request to my operator the unlock code for free, and then going to try wiping too.

Thanks!.

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

Some users on the NITDroid forums report that even though their phones were unlocked (through a shady unlocking service or officially through the carrier), it refuses to flash unsigned images and bombs out. This may be a bug that will never be fixed :(

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

i suppose a full nand dump ...
but, not sure how to put that back on device

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

If you use search in the forum you can find howto bruteforce the simlocked N9 (Although you should just ask the unlock code from your operator, as that is easier).

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

When sailfish's image from n9 came out, some users with a branded n9 successfully flashed a non signed kernel.
It seems like some hw. rev. can do it and others dont.

If the bruteforce is about disconnecting the cable in the middle of the flashing. I tested it and nope.

After reading (a lot) about this:
I have little hope with the unlock code from the operator. It's only seems to change the LOCK STATE of the simlock, but the issue with unsigned images persists.

Here http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f609...nlock-1558823/, talks about "..For SL3 Phones unlocked via LBF or Code, you can only change the LOCK STATE
and you cannot change the Simlock Table like SL1 and SL2 phones..."

My two hopes:
* "...There is a way to flash Custom Firmware (android etc) to simlocked N9, but it is not
covered by ATF Software...." still not found

*2ndboot
i have not the skills to do it myself yet.
(even still can't get a working scratchbox. arggggh!)

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

So did you already ask for the lock code from your operator and try it, or are you only thinking it might not work since you read the above information?


I don't know anything about this, except that of course there's at least two ways of doing that, but both of those would require access to external HW equipment to do it...


This has nothing to do with N9 and cannot help you if you cannot flash the device with non-signed kernel; how are you planning to get the 2ndboot kernel into use if unable to flash it?

hmmh, just thought of something, if you cannot flash an unsigned image, how about loading an unsigned image and jumpstarting it?
Of course that means that every time you want to boot the device, you'd need to jumpstart it again :D

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

That's how life was like for Motorola device owners with locked bootloaders pre-"security audit".

2ndboot was interesting, if only because it was a very fun hack. Once Android was rooted, as root you could load modules, and kernel modules can execute kernel code :D

It then manually reset all devices to known states, threw a prayer and called kexec()!

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

Ah that one!

I did not remember it yesterday but I actually started tinkering with that when it lookd like I had hit the wall with ubiboot back in -13...

Turned round it was not needed after all.

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

is it possible that I just take out the zImage file and flash it first through flasher to get openmode first.
then follow terminal commands.

also I am just following these commands for a clean N9

flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --erase-user-data

then without any restart the below command

Flasher -f -F main.bin -F EMMC.bin

and lastly taking out the zImage and rename file and

flasher -a main.bin -k zImage --flash-only=kernel -f -R

pls someone confirm if this can be done

regards

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

well i tried the above steps with the kernel provided in the tar file and it fails to start, just stays on the nokia logo.
so have flashed now with the openmode simple kernel with the same method and now has booted.

would somebody pls guide me now what needs to be done to flash the provide tar file now.

pls..

i think right now I have to just enable the developer mode in security now and let the 2.5mb of download install, RIGHT?

then what??

pls guide..

regards

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

Well, You need to depmod the new kernel modules.
Instructions for flashing this kernel is linked in first post.

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=270

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

i tried that as well.
just transferred the downloaded tar file and placed in just the root of my mmc, i mean the mydocs like connecting the n9 in usb mass storage and just dropping the file in there.

then ran the command, but says , tar not found.

then somehow tar was found and says some package not found.

could someone guide..

and nieldk, thanks for reply mate.

regards

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

just enter commands without typos

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

flash to open mode first (not kernel plus)
reboot and copy modules in place (untar like instructiins told)
/sbin/depmod -a the new modules
flash kernelplus

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

untar in what?

terminal, right.

i enter the command given


devel-su
rootme

then
# tar xvzf linux_2.6.32.61-plus-20131128.tar.gz -C /

directory/file not found/...

wth...
tell me pls, in detail what do i need to enter and where
regards

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

??

any more help pls....

regards

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

when you use tar, you need to be in the same directory as the tarfile you downloaded

You sure you need kernel plus? ;)

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

??
i said what??

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

If you dont know how to install it, using guides here, and answers by members.
What he means is, there is a high risk you will mess up ;)

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

well for the sake of the matter i ended up flashing my n9 for the 11th time FULLY yester night.
now all i want to do is use my n9 to the fullest possible.

what i use is
- the chinese dialerplus pro 1.1.1 (PAID for it), but no eng support [wonder if someone could translate the app to ENG]
- billboard 1.1.1
- lockscreen shortcut
- status menu extensions
- compass pro
- whatsup (for it to properly work i follow install wazzapp, wazzapp path, and then install whatsup, reboot and try to register)
- filebox
- my explorer
- tactical flash light app
- battery usage
- kill search
- flappybird game
- warehouse 0.1.8
- quasarmx
- recorder
- vesuri homescreen settings for landscape unlock

(also n9qt for all the status bar clock mods and some other tweaks; i have also removed builtin facebook, skype, twitter and youtube via that)

now i dont know what but something in the above or some setting is messing up my device.

it heats up a lot near the upper area and also calls are messed up

could someone guide me what i should follow for a cleaner and a better and a stable device for daily use.

i follow the full erase flash, then reflash.
then enable developer mode, install the 2.5mb downloads and have terminal and sdk in the menu.
then disable the security warning message.
then flash openmode kernel and reboot.

after that i am trying to flash this kernel.

now what do i need to do.

someone pls guide from scratch.
i am performing a clean flash now,
pls guide

regards

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

put modules to device in right folder, depmod, and flash kernel plus.

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

ok so,
i flash the same way i said earlier,

then put the zip of the kernel plus in my docs via mass storage mode and then run command in terminal

devel-su
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
# tar xvzf linux_2.6.32.61-plus-20131128.tar.gz -C /
# depmod -a 2.6.32.61-plus

RIGHT? if so then what??
flash the kernel in the tar through flasher right?

I hope there is of kernel plus version for Dualboot. Not ubiboot...
I only have N9 (16GB)

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

so then coderus, this shall give me a stable device.

just after all my flashes i install these first-
-hack-installer_1.0.10_armel
-coderus-trusted-repo_1.0.3_armel
-Vesuri Home screen settings v2.0.1 Meego
-power-menu-qml_0.5.2_armel


all i need from the N9 quick tweak app is that i want status menu toggles, battery percentage in status bar and also right side of the status bar to display clock and day date time...

could u make a DEB install for me for these things please.

which also has a wifi toggle and others.
short press toggles on off and long press takes u to the settings..

pls, i have tried almost everything as u know and nothing is fully working..

plss

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

is there a wifi toggle available apart from the one for mt toggles and also the wifi ON/OFF app??


is it possible to use the WIFI toggle from mt toggle on status menu extensions 0.1.0 or unrestricted system ui?

regards

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

[/QUOTE]
On the device:
[FONT=Courier New]# tar xvzf [DOWNLOADED FILE].tar.gz -C /
# depmod -a 2.6.32.61-plus

[/QUOTE]

it says depmod not found

just flashed clean full erase flash
then enabled developermode in settings
then in terminal removed disclaimer warning
flashed kernel openmode

started phone
put the latest tar of kernel plus on phone.
commands -
devel-su
rootme
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
# tar xvzf linux_2.6.32.61-plus-20131128.tar.gz -C /
# depmod -a 2.6.32.61-plus

after the tar................-C/ command some lined of .so and files keeps flashing, i mean running
then in depmode command, it says depmode not found.

what to do.....??

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

i think i succeded.
the instruction in post 270 is wrong by one word i suppose....
it should be /sbin/depmod -a and so on

btw how do i know if i flashed kernel plus properly...????

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

comeon someone atleast reply if i have pulled it off properly

how do i check it...

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

the phone booted normally :p ?
Or u can use uname -a in terminal

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

yep it booted normally

now what??

couldnt get what is that uname thing???

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

uname is a command
in terminaæ, type

uname -a

it will show you kernel version

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

@strategist
what kind of functionality you are going to use/need from kernel-plus?


Are you really sure you need it? Or it is worth to spam this thread?

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

yes i have that itself, confirmed from terminal through command uname -a

thanks

however after this i get a strange software update about 8 mb for n9.

says this will bring improvement to my pr 1.3

i on UAE fimware 40.2012.21-3.333.1

could someone tell whether i should update or skip.? its NOT the 3 software updates for twitter, facebook and nokia link, but for the phone itself.



regards

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

why skipping software updates? :)

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

Hi are there specific patches for n950 to land in kernel-plus ?

--
http://rzr.online.fr/q/linuxkernel

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

no, since after pr 1.3 there are no updates, suddenly on this particular n9 from Dubai it shows updates...
why??

on my Indian and Uk phone there was no update available.

both were running the same PR 1.3, although different country version..

so i m a little confused..

any help??

what if the software update is because of the OPENMODE KERNEL>LIBAPPLAUNCHERD.so change>KERNELPLUS MODULES>KERNEL PLUS FLASH> and then install apps of my own, is this update happening...

does anyone else get the update??

regards

Re: [Announce] kernel-plus for Harmattan
 

software update because of software update released.
