i9100: from the bootloader environment
UART¶
There is an in-depth article covering several Samsung devices in the SamsungSerial page
Settings¶
Device and documentation | I/O voltage | ID<->GND | SOC TX | SOC RX | switch | stock bootloader settings | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
GT-I9000 | 1.8V8 ? | 150k | D- | D+ | UART settings: ttySAC2 115200 8N1 To get a shell in the bootloader: * Power off the phone * Start sending some characters through the UART * Press the volume down button and the power button to power up the phone * Release the buttons when the phone has powered up * Once you get the shell, you can stop sending characters through the UART |
At some point the boot procedure switches to the modem UART, it's probably some linux driver doing that | |
GT-I9100 | 1.8V8 ? | 510k9 | D- | D+ | MAX8997 | UART settings: ttySAC2 115200 8N1 To get the UART enabled at boot with the stock bootloader: * Power the phone off and remove the battery * Put a battery in * Hold the select button * Plug the UART * Release the select button To get the UART enabled at boot with the Replicant 6.0 kernel and the stock bootloader, see the DHylands_SGS2_Console page on the mozilla wiki. |
At some point the boot procedure switches to the modem UART, it's probably some linux driver doing that |
GT-N7000 | 1.8V8 ? | 510k9 | D- | D+ | UART settings: 115200 8N1 | ||
GT-I9100G_CHN_CHN | 1.8V8 ? | 619k9 | D- | D+ | ? | UART settings: 115200 8N1 | Very few prints from Xloader, the next bootloader used by Android 2.6.3 doesn't seem to print much |
GT-I9300 | 1.8V1 | 619 kOhms3 | D- | D+ | MAX776935 | UART settings: 115200 To increase verbosity during boot: * Power off the phone and remove the battery * Put a battery in * Press the hold the volume-down button * Plug the UART and wait for the first lines to be printed * Release the volume-down button |
It gives a shell once Replicant 6 has booted |

Galaxy Nexus (GT-I9250) | 619 kOhms4 | D+ | D- | FSA94807 | UART settings: * By default: ttyFIQ0, 115200 8N1 * After patching Linux: ttyO2, 115200 8N1 See GalaxyNexusI9250SerialConsole for more details. |

ODROID-U3, IO pins UART | 1.8V | connector | UART settings: ttySAC0, 115200 8N1 |
1 Measured between USB GND and USB VCC
2 Code is required to use the switch as you need to configure both the MUIC and DP3T switch
3 See The related driver source code
4 See the postmarketOS wiki page on Serial debugging
5 See the driver and the ifixit teardown
6 Reference: OptimusBlackSerial
7 See board-tuna-connector.c fsa9480.c in kernel_samsung_tuna
8 Works, as it was tested on the device. TODO: measure the voltage, as lower UART voltages often works with higher voltage levels.
9 Works, as it was tested on the device. TODO: look the official reference in the driver for it.
