Following the USB creation method and the extra folder from SL, I've upgraded the Sabertooth X58 to lion!

Facetime doesn't seem to work, but a lot of other people seem to have this problem... Other than that, works great :)

Sabertooth X58 DSDT - Added HDEF! (and maybe Firewire fixes?)

2011-03-10T06:16:00.000-08:00

Source: http://cloudrainstar.blogspot.com/2011/01/and-now-esata.html?showComment=1299067537576#c4453161913039401588

I've uploaded the new DSDT for the i7 950 people with this board at http://www.multiupload.com/GT173Q2HV3

I've added in the HDEF fix from Keren A in the comments from my post linked in the source, and the firewire fix (in an attempt to fix it, not sure if it works because I don't have any firewire devices to test with.) If you can test the firewire, and it works, please post in the comments! Have fun modding :)

For T4220...

2011-03-09T04:03:00.000-08:00

Had to reinstall again because apparently Win7 SP1 requires 8gb of free space or it won't install...
Anyhow, I figured out the kexts I need:
in S/L/E: VoodooBattery, VoodooPS2, VoodooHDA, and the PS2Nub
in E/E: fakesmc, nullcpupower
using dsdt, but still injecting graphic string with boot.plist... might change it to dsdt for cleaner look later.

Triple Booting with Shared Documents on exFat

2011-01-19T14:34:00.000-08:00

I reinstalled my AOD150 netbook to have triple boot with an exFat shared data partition... (20gb each OS, 100gb Data)

First of all... exFat support on Linux is in beta, so don't blame me if this damages your computer, or data loss!

First, we set up our directories in Data to contain the ones we want to link... (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos, and Music are the ones I created)

And now, linking in windows 7.

Open a command prompt, and in C:\Users\(username)\, do an "rd /S Documents" or which ever folders you want to link.

Next, use the command "mklink /J Documents D:\Documents" to create the link!

After you removed and linked all the folders, you're done!

Next we'll link in OSX... exFat support is only in 10.6.5 and above, so make sure your OSX is upgraded!

Open terminal, and move to home (cd ~), then again, (backup first if needed!) remove all the dirs that you want to link (rm -R Documents), and then create the symbolic link to your Data folder (ln -s /Volumes/Data/Documents) <-- Replace Data with whatever your shared partition is called.

Lastly, is our Linux... I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10, so some of the steps may or may not work for you.

First we need to install exFat support on Linux, there is a very nicely working implementation on the PPA at https://launchpad.net/~relan/+archive/exfat and if you prefer to build from the sources, it's also on google code at http://code.google.com/p/exfat/

Install the driver using the prebuilt ppa, or from the source referring to the quick start guide at http://code.google.com/p/exfat/wiki/QuckStartGuide

Then we need to make it auto mount on boot. So we create a dir for it (sudo mkdir /media/Data), and then add a line in /etc/fstab to tell Ubuntu to automount it on boot (sudo gedit /etc/fstab, add the line "/dev/sda4 /media/Data exfat-fuse defaults 0 0") <-- Remember to replace the sda4 with whatever your data partition device is called!

We can then test it with "sudo mount -a" and see if the directory mounts.. If it works, then we're good to go! Just remove the directories in your home folder and link to the appropriate folders on Data, (use the instructions from the OSX section), and now you'll have shared documents, pictures, music, whatever else you chose in your exfat partition!

And now... eSATA!

Well, fixed my DSDT for Sabertooth X58 with that site above to include the eSATA fix! Yay! :)

For those of you that have the same i7 950 CPU as me, here's a link to my new DSDT:

~~http://www.multiupload.com/HK92JI7AM4~~

Let me know if it works for you!

Edit: http://www.multiupload.com/GT173Q2HV3 has the newer DSDT with the HDEF Fix as well

SATA III - 6GB/S!

2011-01-16T19:32:00.001-08:00

Upgraded my harddrives to the new SATA III drives, and plugged them into the marvell ports. Reinstalled all three OSX, Windows 7, and Ubuntu on the two drives and set up an exFat storage partition for a 32-bit windows 7 vm on virtualbox, shared by all 3 OSes too. This motherboard is awesome :)

Sabertooth X58 DSDT

2011-01-13T17:12:00.000-08:00

I've gotten some people asking me for my DSDT, so...

~~http://www.multiupload.com/2DUVDA6F0M~~

Hopefully that helps out some people with the Sabertooth X58 and the Core i7 950 CPU!

Edit: ~~http://www.multiupload.com/HK92JI7AM4~~ has the newer DSDT with the eSATA Fix

Edit: http://www.multiupload.com/GT173Q2HV3 has the newer DSDT with the HDEF Fix as well

10.6.6

2011-01-12T02:53:00.000-08:00

Upgraded both my hacks to 10.6.6

Apparently kernel didn't change at all? So the AOD150 updated fine without replacing mach_kernel... But graphics still needs the hex editing of the GMA950 kext and the framebuffer kext.

Sabertooth updated just fine without any troubles... nothing seems to have changed except that app store...

Should do a DSDT cleaning at some point...

PDA: XXPJY + Modem: UGJL2 + CSC: KENMOD??

2011-01-03T01:04:00.001-08:00

Figured out how to manipulate the CSC stuff.. very interesting :P Now I have a CSC free phone with any app I want from Samsung Apps :)

T4220 Transformed?

2010-12-27T10:57:00.000-08:00

Attempting to put a triple boot system with a shared data partition again has failed.. How did I do it before with a GPT/hybrid MBR...?

Need sleep, figure it out after :P

Note to self: When reinstalling OSX on T4220, install with 32 bit mode and efi string for X3100...

Must get this to work!!

XXJPY (Darky's 7.0) + UGJL2 Modem + BMCJL2 CSC (Without Apps, for Samsung Social Hub!)

2010-12-27T04:40:00.000-08:00

This is my new setup for my phone!

Darky's Rom is from here...

First, we start from any ROM with clockworkmod or recovery 2e...

Next we do the update.zip method and install Darky's Rom...

Now we get the UGJL2 ROM and modify it a bit...

First we unzip the file, and get the .tar file.

Make a copy of the tar file, and call the new one MODEM-I9000UGJL2.tar

Open up MODEM-I9000UGJL2.tar using 7zip, and remove everything EXCEPT modem.bin.

Now we use Odin and flash this file under Phone (No Repartition)

We should have our 850 back if we lost it due to the XXJPY modem...

Next, we open up our full I9000UGJL2 tar file and extract the cache.rfs from it.

Then we open up cache.rfs with 7zip !!

Now we grab the /system/csc/BMC folder from this file, and extract it..

Next, we push this to our sdcard... (adb shell, cd sdcard, mkdir BMC, adb push C:\GT-I9000\BMC\ /sdcard/BMC/)

I removed apps from it since I don't want Bell junkware... (adb shell, cd /sdcard/BMC/system, rm -R app)

Now we need root, and copy the csc folder to system/csc.. (adb shell, su, cp -R /sdcard/BMC/ /system/csc/)

Next, we make sure that /system/csc has the BMC folder, and inside that is another system folder...

(Do a nandroid backup now if you want to save your apps...)

Then we use the *#272*<IMEI>#*, and pick BMC from our list... it'll factory reset the phone, but we'll have BMC as our CSC code, so Samsung Apps will give us Canadian Software!

(Do an advanced nandroid restore... restoring only data... that'll give you back all your apps!)

(Now would be a good time to make sure Voodoo lagfix is on too, if you want it!)

FUJ02E5? Need testing after install when I get to it...

XXJPU

Wow.. It's truly much faster..

Anyhow, there is apparently a problem only with the Chinese version of the Firmware and Fring -- no audio input on calls in the new versions...

No need for market fix at all...

New wallpaper options...

Using this with the JK4 Modem and no CSC... and rooted with CF-Root so I can use CWM Recovery...

Side note: I hope the Android 2.3 sources come out soon! Want to try and make my phone run 2.3!

Corruption: /data/data?

Most of the time a corruption happens, logcat shows unable to write to /data/data.. maybe that'll help me next time it happens.

Internal SD?

Following those instructions...

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/lun1/file

is an awesome command. However, it really doesn't help if the partition tables are missing, or if I can't even read it with fdisk, or even gdisk...

Oh well, good thing for Product Exchange Plans :P

More Corruption

Wonder when it will stop corrupting itself...

Random corruption?

2010-11-28T01:35:00.000-08:00

Was on ZWJP6... and SpeedMod Kernel...

Today, it crashed....

Checked logcat.. it couldn't write to /data/data?

Factory reset, still doesn't work.

Flashed CM6, somehow fixed it

Flashed nandroid of ZSJPD/UGJK3/BMCJK3... tried some more random kernels... then went back to stock kernel with recovery 3e. I'll prolly stick with this till after my exams, unless Cyanogen releases some good fixes.

After exams I might play with modding/compiling CM6....

ZWJP6

2010-11-25T23:43:00.000-08:00

Apparently this is the Taiwan version of the ROM... So flashed this one instead of the ZSJPD. Runs pretty smooth, protected apps work, pretty interesting!

Not gonna bother with deodex.. just flashing in su / busybox, and see how it goes...

Edit: got kies script working too, it's even detecting Bell's test firmware!

10.6.5

2010-11-25T00:57:00.000-08:00

Updated both my hacks to 10.6.5...

AOD150 - Needed atom kernel, dl'd combo update and then replaced before reboot

P5E-VM - Worked fine...

ZSJPD / UGJK3 / BMCJK3

2010-11-25T00:56:00.000-08:00

Well, sticking with this combo for now... Seems to be most stable... We'll see!

When CM6 has better support for Front Cam and GPS, I might flash back... I like my GPS pictures and video calling ><...
