There is a lot of way to fastboot the fjfalcons' boot.img
But i will explain the simplest way for me.
I figure after that the soft i m using to fastboot is in french only... So sorry for the others but you just have 2click you have to do in this soft so even in french, everybody can make it...
1. Installation of EasyAdbTool
So first you have to download and install this small soft: EasyAdbTool
It simplify the process to use adb (Android Debug Bridge) to communicate between the PC and the Android Phone.
When EasyAdbTool is installed you have to extract the archive EasyAdbToolXDAPack I attached to this post in the folder where you installed the soft (c:\program files\easyadbtool )
(it contains the boot.img from fjfalcons and the fastboot script i take in the android sdk. We are putting all in the root of the folder app so you don t have to move in the folder to lauch it)
2. Fastboot
Now you just have to plug you phone (in USB debogging mode without it can t work).
Launch EasyAdbTool you will have this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You click on the first button I circle (in the top left) : "Redémarrer en Bootloader" that s mean: " reboot in bootloader mode"
Your phone reboot in bootloader.
Now you have to click the second button circle (in the bottom right) : "Taper ma propre commande" that s mean "enter my own cmd"
Now you will enter in the terminal.
Here all you have to do is to type:
fastboot boot boot.img
You press enter and that s it!
Your phone will reboot and you must have this in the terminal:
3. Thanks.... (just a joke...)

404 too... Could you repost it?
But your app boot in one click from the bootloader??? (So it just lauch the fastboot boot.img) or you have to be in bootloader first?
My method is just 2 clicks... I can believe it s not the fastest method !!! (loool)

when I enter fastboot boot boot.img it says fastboot is not a recognized command. Anyone else had that issue?
Do u have the fastboot and boot.img save in your easyadb folder?

You need to have your partitions on your SD card set up in this order (FAT, Ext2or 3 or 4, then Swap)

what sizes do you recommend for the ext and swap partition?

The ext partition is really up to you. I have had one about 500mb and really felt that it was too much and wasted space. My current is about 350mb. I have about 60+/- apps and it is only about half full. If you are jsut starting this, my suggestion is to split the difference and go with about 400mb and see how you like it. Might find that later on you need more or less and by then, you will have more of this stuff under your belt to make that decision based on your needs.
Swap on the other hand is debatable. Some say it should be twice as big as your RAM +1. So if your RAM is 256 the your swap should be 513mb (256+256+1). Others say that it is fine if at or around 90-100mb since it is really just an overflow for static RAM when you are running a heavy RAM hungry app.
Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219050
Also might want to check with B_E_N and LibertyMonger as they use swap quite a bit.

Also note that the x2+1 is advice from old multi-user systems. If you're swapping that much on your phone, you might as well use an abacus IMHO.

I couldn t say better!
I haver 513mb of swap and 1gb of ext (i haver a 16 gb card so i don t care if i waste a little... )
But i recommand ext4 if your rom support it (just the last cyano 6.3 or the last hellmonger ones on the last news...) a lot faster...

Haha. I have an abacus and swap and don't use either. Not really sure how to use the abacus but apparently it has worked for 1000's of years. i still do use my slide-rule though from time to time for some base calcs.
can somebody give me that one click fastboot fr russian? link down.

Build-Script
Linux Only!
******************
!!!THIS IS SEPARATE FROM ROM!!!
-------------------------
Will only change the system folder YOU modified into system.sqsh
It is a pretty simple straight forward script that does what is says. First click on script and then click display, then on the first line put the dir of the ported system folder: like so
1
example
Code:
cd /home/jamezelle/desktop/hero
next on the second to last line
2
Code:
#put your login name after chown
sudo chown jamezelle ./system.sqsh
ie jamezelle
3
Make sure you use Run in terminal
if not root terminal will ask for password, dont worrry it doesnt save it or anything
ver 2
now tells you what its doing!!!! also will atempt to make directory /mnt/system if not already created
Does anyone find the Build-Script useful??
Disclaimer: i am not responsible for anything if you use this!
but it does save time !!!!!!!!!
If it doesnt execute, right click>properties>permissions tab>check 'allow executing file as program'
I Hope this helps some of you
My first released rom is up! fast and stable thanks zen, maxisma and drizzy
i was looking at that the other day. looks nice.
I'm confused about the whole build-script thing. I'm supposed to download your system.sqsh, extract it, run your build script on it which will convert it to ext2, then back to squashfs again?
Or have you just included the build script as a completely separate tool that we don't actually need to run on your system.sqsh?

thanks Jamezelle! Will give it a go...

How long should it take to boot? Do I need a blank data image for it to run properly. Currently I am waiting for it to get past the htc logo screen. Its been there for 10 mins.

It takes a while to start up but it does go through using 320x480... really nice looking ROM... although I still have the same issues I had with the other Hero ROM's - 3+ rings before the phone actually rings.
Yeah it took about 15 mins to boot up...no data img needed. Looks GREAT and everything works very well. Smooth and quick. Easily on of my favs. Good work. Thanks!
i see i'll give it another try again then. thx.

hey man, good job for your first build! Keep on working, we need more dev's around here these days.
hit me up if you ever have any questions about porting/theming.
can some one post up a clean data.img file. please, for some reason i'm stuck on the boot logo. i waited for about 25 minutes and its still just there.
Well I had been getting asked a lot lately about the GB ROM's and my original boot screen packages that I had created where I modified a param.lfs to contain no boot image and allowed a script to place whatever image you wanted in it's place for a custom boot logo. In the past I had edited the param.lfs for the AT&T i897 bootloaders which does not work with the GB boot loaders.
This is not the boot animation, nor the kernel logo, but the first logo your phone displays when it's turned on.
Anyhow, I re-wrote the param.lfs to allow a blank for the logo.jpg that Gingerbread calls upon in the bootloader and it works great. So for all of you that used my boot screen package in the past for i897, i9000 and t959 2.1, 2.2 and 2.2.1 ROM's, here it is again for 2.3+ ROM's.
This should also work fine for Vibrant but I will check in case any T959 people are scoping this out.
These will not be compatible with CM7 (due to the proprietary fs used on param.lfs)...
Big thanks to TRusselo for being a BETA tester, tossing in the latest ODIN package and writing the readme as well as contributing the JPEG's offered in the package. I decided to keep the Canadian boot screens for you northern neighbors on the Roger's network up there...

Done, soft-bricked (Odin failed) but got back into DL mode and re-flashed. I've got the i896 logo up there now.
Thanks a lot!
yeah odin sometimes does that... the newer odin does that LESS.. lol.
i soft bricked a few times using this.
just keep forcing the params until it passes, no need to go back to stock!
with GB button combos, and the soft brick, i found:
Vol Down + USB = Download mode
Vol Down + Pwr = Soft brick screen.
hope that helps.
Just an fyi to anyone not familiar with it, but you will have to make sure you have your screen active when running the batch file so that you can click Allow to the superuser permission request when it attempts to mount the partition.
This wasn't noted in the readme, someone without much experience might miss it.
Just a question but why are there some screens with "AM HUNG" as the name and not Samsung?

When you soft bricked and reflashed did you have to do the whole rom or just this process in particular?

I
have adb installed and working for at least a year now. However, your program just tells me that adb is not recognized as a command. at the end it does say enjoy your new bootscreen and it gives me a screwed up bootscreen. Yes the file is only 96kb and yes I named it correctly. and yes I have usb debugging on and no the phone isn't mounted. I am using mosaic 1. Any ideas?

OK I restarted the comp and made sure their were no adb processes running and still your tool does not work it says killing all adb processes and then says adb is not recognized as an internal command. I know adb works because I used cmd:adb devices and it showed my phone. So what is the deal with this program? I am on 7 but I used run as administrator so it should work.

It's got to be something with your instance. I use this all the time with Windows 7 x64...
What is MotoFastbootGUI?
MotoFastbootGUI is a simple little app that I created because I got tired of manually typing fastboot commands in one by one, I made it easier by just selecting which command I want and then pressing execute to send that command.
Where does it install?
The installer defaults to C:\MotoFastbootGUI for ease of finding
Where should I put my *.img files?
I would suggest putting them inside the C:\MotoFastbootGUI directory as it contains no spaces which will reduce the chance of a bad flash.

Here you go, let me know what you think.
Looks good. Can you add erase preinstall, and also seperate the cache and userdata erase so they are independent?
Seems to work fine. Might want to add a note giving the default install location as I had to look for it to open again after closing it.
Cheers!
Thanks for the reply mate. I will update it and get v2 up soon. Ill also update the installer.
As for seperating erase userdata and cache I'm not sure as the usual command is fastboot -w

I created a little app for people that are scared of cmd, it's basically a GUI for moto fastboot.
Please comment and let me know how it works for you.
Put *.img files inside the program directory (it shouldn't contain any spaces - defaults to C:\EasyMotoFastboot or C:\EMF)
It works like this...:
Connect your phone, boot into fastboot mode, open up the app and click on the command you want. Then finally click execute button at the bottom right of the app.
If this works okay for people I will update this post with screenshots and a proper looking post.

Very nice!
Is this just gone? The link is invalid at the top.
Sorry if the links gone, wasn't anything to do with me.
I'm creating a new app at the moment so what features do you want to see? Ill be calling it ATRIX Suite as it will be mainly aimed at ATRIX users as that's the only phone I have and can test features for.
Ill be keeping the fastboot commands like the Motofasbootgui app and hopefully will be adding adb too.
Will also add a help section too.

Maybe add some adb commands GUI?
Or can it have some features like wipe & flash webtop, install correct busybox and webtop2sd?
An option to flash zips (like update.zip) would be very nice.
please moderator dont delete my post... i may be just sleep answering!
Is this written for the .NET framework? If so, just wanted to point this out to you.
AndroidLib.dll - .NET Android Device Communication and Management Library
the link you provided is dead,plz check it.
I know the links dead. I'm creating a new version so you'll have to wait for the new build.
It is built in .net so what features would your library give us?
Also the ability to flash update.zip will be added. And as for webtop2sd in the new version I don't think you need yo add busybox in the alternate location you can use its default location of /xbin
And other features let me know. What adb command would you like to be built into the GUI? Push, pull, install? - there's a huge list so let me know what you use the most.

Well I could write a huge post explaining it, or you could download it and check out the extensive documentation and guides I wrote.
I downloaded it today on my way to work. I had a quick look at your documentation. In my app I use a stream reader and writer to write the commands to a cmd where the input and output is displayed in a textbox.
What's the likelyhood of it not working as your using a streamreader by the looks of it too?

I had problems flashing the system with fastboot on my Verizon Moto X because the file size was too large. I saw others come across the same problem. I remembered that I used a moto fastboot one time back in the day so I did a little research and found it again. This fastboot splits the file up so that it can be flashed normally. It should use all of the same commands. I put it in posts before, but since I see people still having the problem I figured I'd make a thread for it. You run commands just like you would in fastboot except for when you type "fastboot" change that to whatever you name the file you download from the link below.

When I open this it says my computer is missing components? Weird I was hoping to be able to use this to flash system to get back to stock and keep my data.

Did you put it in the same folder as your original fastboot? Not sure that matters. I didn't think it would but maybe fastboot pulls certain things from sdk platform tools directory that I don't know about.
I'm assuming your old fastboot worked right? maybe not updated drivers? works perfectly for me.

Man I feel like such a tool. Now it opens but closes immediately.

opens? what you talking bout willis? you should never open the file. you run the file through command prompt... you need a link on how to use fastboot or do you know how?
edit: I see that my OP might have been misleading. That file is just a different fastboot file. You still need to manually go to fastboot to flash your system img. PM me if you need assistance with that and Ill guide you through it.

Ok, I didn't realize you run the command and tell it to look at mfastboot, but I got er now. Worked like a charm (with heart pounding for fear of failure!) Thank you for the link and your assistance, my phone is back to stock without fxzing. I used the thanks button!

This is weird. These files are very different. Not a criticism or warning, just an observation. http://i.imgur.com/WRHhrLn.png

From what I have read, moto created this fastboot or edited it to run better with their devices. But I honestly don't care what the code looks like as long as it runs correctly. I wouldn't even know which fastboot coding looked more weird anyway.

check the pm i already replied to. I don't think you are actually running the new fastboot file. you are just running the old one and think you are running the new one.
The linux one from the same linked thread worked fine from me. It was just a fastboot executable and i replaced fastboot on my machine with it. Running fastboot flash system system.img worked just fine
Hi all, could you please tell me the /data partition size on Samsung Galaxy Note 3? You can check it just in rooted devices. You can do it, for example, executing in a terminal emulator:
Code:
su
df -ha
Thanks and regards.

That does not work on my terminal, either normal or SU mode.
I have a question: Any place I can download list of all build in functions? Even if I used it daily, which I don't, those commands are so cryptic I need cheat sheet and all I find is bits and pieces and even then half of them don't work, like yours for example.

That's just Linux:
df: Linux command to get Disk Free for all the partitions on your system (it provides you information about mounted path, device, total size, free size, etc).
-ha: parameters for df command. It returns the size in MB or GB instead of bytes (Human readibility).
If you want to know commands for the console you should learn Linux commands. A cheat sheet? There are many of them.
for the note 3 and other newer devices there isnt such a clear answer to this question, because /data and the internal sdcard content share space.
the content of the sdcard is inside /data/media/0 and if you factory reset the sdcard gets cleared as well (the internal..).
But off course this partition has a size which's size you can get with "df".

I assumed that users with a rooted device knew to use it (a ROOTED device) so I didn't mention that the first command to execute (before "df -ha") is the su command (Switch User: this command is used to switch your user to root user). So you should execute:
Code:
su
df -ha

The question was badly formulated and even worse explained (not everybody around is rooted and with busybox installed ; also -ha is not a valid option for the df from busybox).
You could also search after "Note 3 PIT" and you could see a more complete set of information. Also the fact that different versions of Note 3 might have different partitioning schemes.
32GB N9005 EU on 4.3 has it at 26.4G. And you can now add a 128GB microSD if that really bothers you :silly:

"df -ha" worked perfectly on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S II with Busybox installed, I tried it before asking.
And if I ask for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 everybody knows that it means the INTERNATIONAL version and not a local version. I searched for Note 3 PIT and I didn't find it, that's the reason why I asked.
Thanks for the information! I am interested on that information since there are many applications which install their data on that partition and if you install some heavy size applications you fill the full partition (until 90 %, of course): my Samsung Galaxy S II /data partition size is just 1.97 GB!!!
P.S.: "not everybody around is rooted" --> Check this on my post "You can check it just in rooted devices." hahaha.

There is no such thing as a single international version, and more specifically the N9005 Hong-Kong is a very popular version which is mostly sold with 16GB flash and will have a VERY different partition scheme. Also the Exynos International devices have a slightly different partitioning scheme.
On older devices (and android versions) you had a DATAFS partition and a separate/biger UMS partition (which you could also eventually mount over USB), the newer devices tend to have instead of those two a much larger USERDATA partition.

Isn't there a mod on the SGS2 that lets you repartition the flash memory? I remember seeing one.
