[KERNEL] GT-I9000 insecure kernels for use with rooting

Many of you seem to think that you have been abandonded by the developers moving to the GT-I9100, I do not think this is the case, but you have to remember that developing for a new phone is more fun
Anyway, some of you will already know about my insecure kernels for the GT-I9100, well since Gingerbread on the GT-I9000 I have also been using insecure kernels for my own personal use and have now decided to release them, since if you are like me and like to keep your phone as close to stock as possible they may be of some use to you.
If you like my work, maybe you would like to say thanks by buying me a beer
Insecure Kernels:-
GT-I9000_XWJVZ_insecure
GT-I9000_XWJW1_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVP_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVQ_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVR_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVS_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVT_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJVU_insecure
GT-I9000_XXJW4_insecure
password = [email protected]
a quick method for rooting would be:-
Code:
adb remount
adb push busybox /system/xbin/
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb shell chown root.shell /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chown root.shell /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell /system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
You need to make sure that busybox and su are in the same folder as you are typing the adb commands.
You could also push superuser.apk if you have it local:-
adb install superuser.apk
You can use these files to return to the stock kernel if you wish, you will still be rooted but adb will not be running as root on first login via shell.
Original Kernels:-
GT-I9000_XWJVZ_original
GT-I9000_XWJW1_original
GT-I9000_XXJVP_original
GT-I9000_XXJVQ_original
GT-I9000_XXJVR_original
GT-I9000_XXJVS_original
GT-I9000_XXJVT_original
GT-I9000_XXJVU_original
GT-I9000_XXJW4_original
Please DO NOT mirror any of my files, thank you.

I have used your 9100 insecure. Good work. I have also rated this thread a 5-star.

link to github repo for kernel source (most preferrably ^^) please !
what all did you change ?
thanks !

Mine is ok, maybe a bug in JVS makes an incompatibilty problem with your router? Try to flash the JVS original kernel and see if the problem still exists, you will still keep root.

No, he means that he has done the same work as on I9100.....
The kernels are not compatible!

As you probably know, this is not only zach asking kindly or xda-rules. GPL licence, on which android kernel is based, clearly states to release updated source along with the build.
Developers are always welcome when they follow this. Bet you get help here to setup github.
Failing to comply usually ends in some banned/thread locked.

I hope he releases the sources soon....but it is also veeery simple to do an unsecured kernel!

Thanx works fine on JVS, but i needed to remove some stuff from /system/app
No space left....

The kernel is not compiled from sources, its only a 4 byte change which is injected to the stock kernel. That is the reason there is no source released, the Admins and Mods know this already and the reason this thread is still here alive and not locked.
and its the reason it works correctly with XXJVS.

Sorry for the confusion, I hope the OP is now more clear.

Odia: Thank you for explaining your [KERNEL/MOD]
The kind-of-source is your HowTo in OP on how we can mod any kernel.

[Developer Discussion] JB Rom Creation

Hi All,
I'm starting this thread so that we can compile in one location the methods we attempted to create a zip for the recent Jellybean update, and hopefully advance the creation of this rom. This should be mentioned before starting.
ONLY POST IF YOU HAVE RELEVENT INFORMATION REGARDING THIS JELLYBEAN ROM.
This Includes:
Procedures
Logcats
Test Builds
Helpful Suggestions (Be Specific)
To start, I've attempted the following alterations on the zip level:
Straight System dump with updated updater-script
System dump with default updater script
Modified updater script removing patch elements
Utilizing the Canadian Rom, which flashed and appplying new system.
Swapping out radio flashing and boot.img with shellnutt's boot.img
I also have the following plans:
System Dump on Canadian Rom, and default boot.img
Recursive Deleting of patched files
Example
Code:
assert(apply_patch_check("/system/3rd_party/videowiz/lib/libMvMMAS.so", "65cfe8efc36cf58669e5fb9f30274bc49c3f9703", "e1a051bb2562af8d9b106ef4b875f85a6109ee9e"));
set_progress(0.003080);
delete("/system/3rd_party/videowiz/lib/libMvMMAS.so");
Than initiate the normal package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
Any other information would be great. Some developers have gotten it to flash but not boot.
Also, here's a link to the test builds I released.
http://goo.im/devs/AdriVelazquez/Roms/Nightlies/TestSprint
Thanks to all the developers that have been working on it.

This is what I've tried:
Used the boot.img & system.img. from dump to compile a rom in dxsdia's kitchen. I was able to apply root to the boot.img and compiled a zip but it wont flash. I then added the updater script from the dump but it still wouldn' t flash. Ithink my problem is in the updater script. I didn't take thetime to configure the kitchen properly for the optimus G but will do so tonight. I have the 2 test zips at home and I'll post them tonight if anyone wants to take a look.

Suggestion:
Since houstonns Korean port boots, and all is well except radio, would it also help to look at that system dump along with the Canadian? Maybe something to utilize?

I also tried both mentioned here, none worked for me as well. I contacted couple of friends to help us out, Scott (Scrossler cleanrom series) already answer me back, he's looking into it, I will let u guys know if they get something working.
Edit: houston answer as well, he is gonna work on it as well.

As I don't own the device I need your guys' help with creating a flashable zip for you guys. Lrod0175 requested my help. What I need is your system mount points. To get those open up Terminal Emulator and enter these commands:
Code:
$ su
# cat /proc/emmc
I need what is printed out.

[GUIDE]Rooting your phone...from your phone [ALL US SGS3]

Rooting your phone...from your phone (what?!)
DISCLAIMER: I do not expect anything to go wrong as I have personally tested this. However, YOU are choosing to make these modifications to your phone so I DO NOT take responsibility for any damage that may come as a result of using this. If you come back and point the finger at me, I will laugh at you.
If your phone is not an SGS3, this MAY still work for you. I take absolutely NO responsibility either way.
Prerequisites
The following files are attached to this post for convenience. Download and install the apps, download and extract the zip file somewhere convenient.
Superuser by Koush(MUST be this one. You can change it later if you so desire.)
Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich ( MUST be this one)
Zip file, extracted somewhere convenient

THE GOODS
These generic names will be used:
/path/to/motochopperDir - This is the full path to the extracted motochopper-mobile DIRECTORY or FOLDER. Example: /sdcard/motochopper-mobile (will vary depending on where you extracted the files).
NOTE: After running the script, Motochopper may or may not print "Failed", but the exploit DOES indeed work regardless of this. Make sure you reboot for changes to take effect.

Download the attached zip file AND both apps.
Install Terminal Emulator and Superuser (use a file manager, navigate to the downloaded .apk files and click on each file to install them).
Open up Terminal Emulator and type the following commands. Press the ENTER key after each command.
Code:
cd /path/to/motochopperDir
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /path/to/motochopperDir
From there, my setup.sh script will handle the rest of the process. If you are still unsure, see my sample run below.
Sample run (files were extracted to /sdcard/moto)
Code:
cd /sdcard/moto
cat setup.sh > /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/setup.sh
cd /data/data/jackpal.androidterm
chmod 755 setup.sh
./setup.sh /sdcard/moto
Credits

Jack Palevich and Koush for their apps, especially Jack Palevich. This would not be possible without the shared permissions on his app's data directory.

I can confirm it works on the latest MD4 4.1.2 stock rom. So any version below that is good.

Mms.apk (Modded)

Ok guys I've made some tweaks to the Mms.apk,
1) Auto SMS to MMS conversion disabled.
2) Ulimited lines for text typing area.
3) Fixed issues with delivery reports.
4) Minor tweaks.
Next build:
1) MMS fix (First I need confirmation of it's not working from at least two people)
2) Dark them.
3) You say.
Link:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/4h47r4k45ekzeu4/Mms.apk
Instructions:-
Download the Mms.apk file and copy it to your fastboot folder. Open command prompt and enter the following commands:-
Code:
adb remount
adb push Mms.apk /system/app/
adb shell
chmod 644 /system/app/Mms.apk
exit
adb reboot
Make sure to press enter after each command. Also, make a backup of your original Mms.apk in case you experience any problems.
Press thanks to keep me motivated and provide further updates.

I'm uploading the the latest CM10 with your mms.apk in it now. I will clean my github and then sync in the device/vendor/msm7x30 trees that I have so far for them. The latest build I have done have two main issues, firstly the kernel isn't building properly, it comes out around 4kbs too small, and won't boot very far. Using a downloaded version of hellboy the rom boots past the htc screen onto a black, with the latest version we should be able to pull a logcat to see more closely what we need to fix.
Once I have it all uploaded I'll start a new thread and add any and all stuff I know so far, so that anyone can pitch in if they feel like it. I think we should make it a rookie friendly as possible so that anyone here can contribute.
