[S-OFF] BLACKROSE (Custom HBOOT) [2011.10.09] - xda-developers


I have some "noobish" posts at end that will give the easy way to do it

I read all thread pages and thought I knew till I got some help and saw how easy it was

Now to resize boot partition--that is going to be harder for me

This will allow you to get a larger system partition for the bigger sense roms and ICS coming to CM and MIUI

Nice find duke!

Thanks Slim,

doing the basic Blackrose doesn't repartition, just s-off. but the Custom one does.

however you got to watch the loss of data partition when you increase system. give and take.

i wanted to run HyperSense 2.0 with this but just read the dev partitions for you and not much data size, so you can not run a lot of apps

guess i will have to learn more techy stuff--

[Dude Random21]

I've actually been debating weather I should try this or not. How do you find it so far ken??

[rugmankc]

I just got the stock blackrose so far which just gets you s-off and its benefits

So, no performance enhancement that I see yet

Am now reading up on going to custom blackrose from its thread or flashing the moded one in the XDA HyperSense thread, and flashing that rom. [1°NAND ROM] HyperSense v2.0 (Sense 2.1+3.0 | GB v2.3.3) [STABLE & FAST] [29/10/2011] - xda-developers


Mulling over the smaller data partition with HyperSense.

I think you need the custom one and hexeditor to change your partition sizes

There is also and engineering hboot on BR that i haven't studied yet

Alot of this is new lingo to me--and I am fastboot/adb illiterate--but learning.

We may need this though to effectively run ICS, don't know for sure

OK,

I have flashed and repartitioned the Blackrose Hboot for CM and MIUI and have saved for when I go back--

I just flashed the latest HyperSense rom with the devs Modified Hboot (done from fatsboot). Not the rom flash, just the hboot. It is the smoothest and most stable sense I have used. Not a single issue to date, and good battery life. Just need to follow instructions exactly--

Perhaps its just me bro, but it looks complicated. I am braving myself up to do it though. Wish me luck if I decide to do it. That HyperSense looks awesome.

There's an SD version of HS if you don't want to go Blackrose, not sure how stable. The advantage is being able to increase System partition. I think we will need this for ICS. I would read all of thread, it is not that long. I have read it three times--

If I can do it anyone here can--

It was hard for me because I was horrible at fastboot, now I understand it and adb much better. But, some of their lingo is still strange to me.

Actually the latest 111118 blackrose I could not get to work, but the guys are good about helping you.

I really just fumble thru most of this with some luck and a lot of study.

Thanks Ken. I was reading up on some of your questions and the answers that followed. It doesnt seem too bad and I actually think I am beginning to understand it more as I re-read it.. As with you I havent touched fastboot since unlocking the bootloader. My only problem is that I am on a Mac. But from what I remember it shouldnt be to hard to get back into the saddle again.

Cheers,

If you saw my last post the OP steps to get to brcust 18 didn't work for me coming from brcust11.

So I dl'd the brcust18zip, extracted, opened with splhexeditor, saved as hboot18.nbo and copied to my sdk tools folder and flashed from there.

The steps to fastboot from fastboot screen are

1.fastboot flash hboot <modified hboot>
2.fastboot reboot-bootloader
3.fastboot erase cache
4.go to hboot (bootloader) and recovery
5.full wipe
5.update rom
6.reboot

That's assuming you are doing this first time for a rom. Since I was on 111111, I just ran the fastboots and rebooted into rom.

Since you have no br yet, not sure what you start with--or if you can just do what I did--
