Rooted 2.1 Kernel (Official HW U830)

[Guest zerosignull]

Attached is a ro.secure=0 official HW 2.1 Kernel from from the RBM release.

Edit: This is aimed at people who know how to cook ROM's

Edit2: Second time... Have re-done the boot.img and got the red bull ROM loading on the kernel with so.secure=0

Edit3: Sorry for the forum spam. Rebuilt the boot.img with the following settings (thanks BoBo):

ro.secure=0

ro.allow.mock.location=0

ro.debuggable=1

persist.service.adb.enable=1

For future the following is the pearl script you need to re-constitute the Kernel:

#!/usr/bin/perl -W


use strict;

use Cwd;



my $dir = getcwd;


my $usage = "repack-bootimg.pl <kernel> <ramdisk-directory> <outfile>\n";


die $usage unless $ARGV[0] && $ARGV[1] && $ARGV[2];


chdir $ARGV[1] or die "$ARGV[1] $!";


system ("find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > $dir/ramdisk-repack.cpio.gz");


chdir $dir or die "$ARGV[1] $!";;


system ("./mkbootimg --cmdline 'mem=128M console=ttyMSM2,115200n8 androidboot.hardware=qcom console=ttyUSBCONSOLE0 androidboot.console=ttyUSBCONSOLE0' --kernel $ARGV[0] --ramdisk ramdisk-repack.cpio.gz -o $ARGV[2]");


unlink("ramdisk-repack.cpio.gz") or die $!;


print "\nrepacked boot image written at $ARGV[1]-repack.img\n";

boot.img

Its just the boot.img from the HW ROM release with the ro secure set to 0. Its aimed at the repackers on the forum here ... or those that know how to push img files to their device.

Just doing a nandroid so i can fire this sucker at my pulse

And what to do with this? ^^

[Guest itarix]

You flash it to your phone with fastboot.

fastboot-windows.exe flash boot boot.img

Then you get root access if he is correct.

It does come with a ugly red bull boot screen so be warned :(

Hmm on second tought don't flash it like that.

It causes forced closes on my phone.

And the phone function doesn't work any more.

[Guest Jan M]

[Guest Lord_Shaithis]

Ups :( ... yes is Red Bull Mobile ROM not the t-mobile. Bit surprised its caused the t-mob rom to stop working though.

I get the root access，but cant mount SD card through USB connection，anyone else has the same problem?

[Guest PsychoPingu]

Yes, same issue here though with the full RBM package that zerosignull put out earlier.

How did you flashed it? Just as a regular boot?

I did that.. but uh... the PC says the file was flashed.. but the phone.. says nothing... and the.. uhh.. well.. the phone keeps un-rooted. I am using the RBM sunrise swiss 2.1 rom..

Is it there any special procedure that i should be aware? :|

Ive got that issue too but i thought it was something to do with my windows 7 isntallation. This issue does not happen on the t-mobile kernel BTW

[Guest ozren]

Try on or off debuging mode? On one rom that solved the problem for me!

its an issue with the RBM kernel and out Pulses. Swapping the kernel over for the pulse kernel = :(
