13 | 17 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | h2. History |
14 | |||
15 | 56 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | Long time ago, we had reports that the "Galaxy SII" had an unsigned bootloader, but we didn't manage to confirm to which exact model it applied to, or if people assumed that the bootloader of the GT-I9100 was unsigned because it uses Xloader which is GPLv2. Samsung also published the source code of various Xloader versions they used on the GT-I9100G for different Android versions. However until now we weren't able to confirm that any device were able to run unsigned bootloaders. Though we verified that at least the bootloader of the I9100G_CHN_CHN is signed. |

17 | 17 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | h2. Rationale |
18 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
19 | 57 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * Uses the samsung-ipc protocol |
20 | 17 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * The modem probably uses MIPI, so it should be isolated |
21 | * 1G of ram => it should be enough for Replicant 6 and 9 |

25 | * [[I9100GBootloader]]: Research on bootloader freedom for the GT-I9100G |
||
26 | |||
27 | h2. Various IRC logs of research on it. |

33 | 63 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | h3. GT-I9100G bootloader related |
34 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
35 | (08:47:20 PM) sensiblemn: GNUtoo: i just got a report from a postmarketOS developer saying that booting works with that free software x-loader repo for the i9100G that I found. they had to make a one line commit to get it building, but it boots. https://github.com/hpagseddy/i9100g_xloader/commit/0505138dd163959443f09b7178142c0472f60582 |
||
36 | 62 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | (08:48:24 PM) sensiblemn: so early reports suggest that we found a Galaxy S2 that has a free software bootloader. they said it doesn't even need to be signed with signGP.c. |
37 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | (10:36:35 PM) hpagseddy[m]: So i have an i9100g and compiled this without any errors in case you guys are interested https://github.com/hpagseddy/i9100g_xloader |
38 | (10:49:32 PM) freekurt: thanks for jumping in here hpagseddy. we have been trying for quite some time to find a way to liberate the first stage bootloader on Exynos4 SoC based i9100 and i9300 devices. this is great news that the i9100G seems to have a free software first stage bootloader. |
||
39 | 14 | Kurtis Hanna | (10:51:08 PM) hpagseddy[m]: Yep, also there is a thing that i9100g is based on TI OMAP |
40 | 63 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
41 | 64 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | h3. GT-I9100G Linux upstreaming |
42 | 63 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
43 | 14 | Kurtis Hanna | (11:01:27 PM) hpagseddy[m]: Btw Droid 4 has mainline |
44 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | (11:02:42 PM) hpagseddy[m]: i9100g uses same display and digitizer with i9100, has a broadcom wifi but sadly a PowerVR GPU |
45 | 64 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | (11:10:48 PM) hpagseddy[m]: Since it uses same display and even same connectors |
46 | (11:11:06 PM) hpagseddy[m]: I know it because i am using i9100 display on my i9100g :) |
||
47 | (11:11:17 PM) hpagseddy[m]: Besides capacitive buttons, all functional |
||
48 | (11:11:48 PM) hpagseddy[m]: Even capacitive connector plugged in so if i do some kernel hacks i can get them working too |
||
49 | (11:11:50 PM) freekurt: we really appreciate your willingness to do testing if we decide to proceed with trying to mainline this device, which has yet to be determined. |
||
50 | (11:14:38 PM) freekurt: it seems as though this device would be quite attractive to other pmOS devs as well, now that the freedom of the bootloader appears to have been determined. |
||
51 | (11:15:19 PM) hpagseddy[m]: I hope so, i was the only maintainer over 2 years :) |
||
52 | (11:15:27 PM) hpagseddy[m]: Of this device |
||
53 | (11:15:37 PM) freekurt: :-) thanks for holding down the fort! |
||
54 | (11:15:52 PM) hpagseddy[m]: But if the device gets mainlined, things will definitely change |

56 | 71 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | h3. OMAP4 blaze reference platform related |
57 | 14 | Kurtis Hanna | |
58 | (07:17:23 PM) sensiblemn: GNUtoo: ah, it seems like some OMAP devices are GP and others are HS, so the question is whether we can find smartphones and tablets that are GP. Looks like the Blaze Tablet released by TI is GP. https://wiki.tizen.org/Tizen_IVI_Getting_Started_Guide_For_PandaBoard#x-loader_config_files [...] |
||
59 | (07:22:26 PM) sensiblemn: also this very odd looking OMAP Blaze cell phone seems to be GP rather than HS. https://www.slashgear.com/texas-instruments-omap-blaze-on-sale-now-1485657/ |

66 | |||
67 | 14 | Kurtis Hanna | (10:58:08 PM) freekurt: 512 MB of RAM seems rough for AOSP 10, especially when we are trying to get it to work with 2D acceleration. 1GB should be much better. |

71 | 74 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | h3. I9300T |
72 | |||
73 | (12:51:55 AM) forkbomb: the i9300T is just a Telstra branded i9300 afaik |
||
74 | (12:52:49 AM) hpagseddy[m]: <freekurt "yeah, that might be it. https://"> i9300T has the same SP6260 naming as i9100g as this shows |
||
75 | (12:53:10 AM) sensiblemn: you're correct |
||
76 | (12:54:16 AM) sensiblemn: also, not sure if this is the correct defconfig, but this kernel from samsung suggests it is xmm6260 also https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_samsung_t1/blob/10ca03795f659f6f1fa995e8c300a08c3a133354/arch/arm/configs/android_t1_omap4430_r03_eng_defconfig#L1097 |
||
77 | (12:55:09 AM) hpagseddy[m]: t1, thats correct |

||
85 | |||
86 | 14 | Kurtis Hanna | (01:00:57 AM) sensiblemn: forkbomb: did you hear that we seem to have found a free software first stage bootloader for the i9100G and that it doesn't seem to require any signature checks? |
87 | (01:01:27 AM) hpagseddy[m]: yes i compiled and ran it on my device with no problem |
||
88 | (01:01:59 AM) hpagseddy[m]: also fixed the old build a bit |
||
89 | (01:02:02 AM) hpagseddy[m]: >So i have an i9100g and compiled this without any errors in case you guys are interested https://github.com/hpagseddy/i9100g_xloader |
||
90 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | (01:05:55 AM) forkbomb: no, i didn't. very nice! |
91 | 14 | Kurtis Hanna | (01:06:35 AM) hpagseddy[m]: well i dont know how to use it so just compiled and flashed with odin |
92 | (01:06:45 AM) hpagseddy[m]: also one line fix hehe |
||
93 | (01:07:33 AM) hpagseddy[m]: it compiled with no problem on 4.6 gcc |
||
94 | (01:14:47 AM) sensiblemn: hpagseddy: it is my understanding that, since x-loader is EOL, and since Replicant wants to upstream as much code as we can, we would have to upstream what x-loader is doing into u-boot SPL, which i don't know how long it would take to do. the fact that very similar devices are already in upstream u-boot likely will help though, if we decide to pursue it. |
||
95 | (01:16:01 AM) hpagseddy[m]: Since it is open source, it is ok to keep it untill we have the device booted in my opinion |
||
96 | (01:16:17 AM) sensiblemn: yes, for sure. |
||
97 | (01:17:00 AM) hpagseddy[m]: but well last decision is yours since you guys are the replicant devs :) |

102 | (01:23:21 AM) hpagseddy[m]: yes it had several issues but performance was good |
||
103 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | (01:23:33 AM) hpagseddy[m]: it had audio error which was so annoying |
104 | 14 | Kurtis Hanna | (01:23:41 AM) hpagseddy[m]: 12.1 was best |
105 | (01:24:22 AM) sensiblemn: what kind of audio error? |
||
106 | (01:25:51 AM) hpagseddy[m]: audio was some kind of disorted |

220 | h2. Recovery |
||
221 | |||
222 | The device is not supported by TWRP, but it was supported by cyanogenmod recoveries: |
||
223 | |||
224 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | https://web.archive.org/web/20190328070606/http://download.cyanogenmod.org:80/?device=i9100g |
225 | 41 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
226 | 31 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | That recovery is a zImage. Note that this recovery may not be FSDG compliant, so the first step would be to make a Replicant recovery for this device/ |
227 | 43 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
228 | h2. CyanogenMod support and stock Android with the version that has a signed bootloader |
||
229 | |||
230 | According to the "I9100G CyanogenMod installation instructions":https://web.archive.org/web/20161224202727/https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100g , "Users running Android 2.3 on their I9100G MUST first upgrade to stock Android 4.x before installing CyanogenMod, or the device won't boot into the system due to it relying on a newer bootloader. A 4.1 bootloader is recommended." |
||
231 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
232 | However this approach has several issues. |
||
233 | 43 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
234 | The update doesn't work anymore. |
||
235 | |||
236 | It also requires you to put a SIM card in the device, which results in privacy issues. |
||
237 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
238 | 43 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | In addition to that, it requires you to give the device a network connection, knowing that the device is running a proprietary Android distribution. |
239 | |||
240 | Once you do that it still fails with "Processing failed". |
||
241 | |||
242 | Right before the failure you can see "Signup for a Samsung account" on the top of the window with "Terms and conditions". |
||
243 | |||
244 | So it probably tries to access some page like https://bada.com/contents/deviceterms/china/208.txt which doesn't exist anymore, and it probably does that to show terms and conditions which were probably unacceptable. |
||
245 | |||
246 | 44 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | They might also have legally prevented you to work on some part of Replicant if you agreed to them, depending on the country you are located in or you intend to travel to. |
247 | |||
248 | This is most probably not an issue with the versions that don't have a signed bootloader as the first stage bootloader could simply be replaced by a free software xloader. |

||
319 | |||
320 | |||
321 | There is a small battery soldered. That might be interesting if it's able to keep the correct time when the battery is removed. |
||
322 | If not you need to run disable-modem.sh then to turn off the phone and remove the battery, and then put on the battery, set the correct time, and then enable-modem.sh |

||
336 | |||
337 | The links talk about things like LPDDR2. The links are not for the same chip but, for the second part number, the reference is pretty close ( K3PE7E700M-XGC1 ) |
||
338 | |||
339 | The third link has a description with "Mobile DRAM LPDDR2" and "Package: FBGA" |
||
340 | |||
341 | 65 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | FBGA is "Fine Ball Grid Array based on ball grid array technology. It has thinner contacts and is mainly used in system-on-a-chip designs" "according to wikipedia":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball%20grid%20array |
