What happened to 2ndboot-ng/kexec? - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

So when I used to follow the IRC channel, they were working on a method to boot another kernel from within the currently running one, and IIRC they were successful, although they faced a problem with the modem/telephony(mbm?) not working, or something to that effect.
Wouldn't it be easier to just solve that problem or is it just impossible?

Looks like they stopped working on it, did they give up on finding a solution?

[SOLVED] Rom issue - problem soft reset or turning off wipes phone

I have tried several roms over the last few days but all have shared the same issue. I tried both the Sh3lby roms and Duttys roms. When I flash it everything works fine, it installs ok and everything appears to work. However, whenever the phone has an error or when I soft-rest or turn the phone off, all my files are deleted and I need to set-up the os again (align screen etc). So essentially everytime my phone is turned off or restarted it performs a hard-rest. Does anyone know any solution to this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Update - Returning to stock rom appears to have solved the issue. Thank-you for the replies.

I'm not sure what the cause is but I have seen the same thing on some of the newer builds.

Did you follow the flashing guide? What method did you use? Did you do at least one hard reset after flashing? If you provide more information on how you flashed your phone, it would be helpful.

I used the flashing rom guide in the past, however, I think I am familiar with flashing now and have flashed many successful roms in the past without this issue. I hard reseted after flashing too :S
Have a look Here
Please delete.
I had the same issue recently. Flashing back to a stock rom, hard resetting then flashing the desired cooked rom resolved the issue for me.
had to follow the same procedure for the first time in 70+ flashes of my HD over the last 8 months! never once thought it would help, but it did. fyi, my problem was a freezing, unresponsive device immediately after waking from sleep. it's been 4 days since and no issues...

[Froyo]word suggestion problem when typing ?

Hi all
first time poster here
I currently have a rooted N1, and just recently update to froyo, love it so far
but i have a problem, after the update, the word suggestion feature doesnt seem to work, like normally, if you type something wrong, it will show a bunch of suggestion above the keyboard.
It just doesnt do that anymore
anybody have any idea ?
Thanks
It certainly should still be there. Did you wipe before installing 2.2?
yea i followed the instruction given

Bootloaders and their problems...

Greetings fellow members,
it is actually a redundancy to request your help, as my problem would not have to exist if I'd be more catious
at working with CWM. However, I originally intended to flash my P880 with CyanogenMod for what, as you
most probably know, you need CWM installed. Now, what I did not know (or what I should have known) is the fact,
that you need an unlocked bootloader to get CWM running. As I have read, that the bootloader does not allow other
programs to run whilst booting.
Well, I tried to solve the problem by following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38838927&postcount=7
this guide here. Almost everythings works as instructed... almost.
As I try to start upgrading by clicking on the yellow arrow, nothing happens.
The ports stay gray and I can only exit the LGFlashTool.
The premiss to have the Windows Enabler switched on shall hereby be fullfilled.
So, all in all that's everything I can say at the moment.
Drivers are the newest, and everything else is done as said (in the guide).
If needed, I can create a detailed list of all things I am accomplishing step by step.
So, let's hope for the best.
Your noob sincerely,
Some Mind
Well, problem solved.
I'll just spare the solution as it is embarassing.
Never mind, thread shall be closed.

[Q] Z1 Display issue (Not touch screen common issue)

Hi all,
I recently purchased a second hand z1 c6903 (telstra branded), and decided I would start off by loading the iHackers custom rom on. (based off instruction in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439328 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2716182). Now I didn't use it a whole heap before doing this but I didn't notice any issues with the display before starting.
After the first step of downgrading to the Firmware 14.1.G.1.534 the display started going nuts. I suspected something may have gone wrong and started from scratch on another computer and re-flashed the firmware. Problem persisted but everything other than the display seemed to work so I continued rooting the phone, backing up the TA, unlocking the bootload and installing the rom. It all seemed to go fine.
Its hard to describe the issue with the display, its flickering and distorted (tried to make a vid sorry about the quality though https://youtu.be/nyD1o28ipdY)
If you can see in the video it does not do it really in some apps like the calendar and clock, others it does at first then stabilises, doesn't seem to do it at all in the drag down notification menu. Even though its difficult to see the icons, if you know where they are, they seem to respond fine like nothings wrong.
I searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone with a similar issue (May be out there but because the z1 has had such widespread issues with the touch screen thats all I could seem to find).
Was hoping someone with more experience or that has dealt with a similar issue could help in diagnosing the problem or provide a solution?
Thanks in advance
Dean
Wow o.o weird.
Did you flash the latest firmware version before flashing iHackers ROM?
U should try to flash another Kernel. There are many based on stock rom, like FXtrinity and X Honami. try them
Thanks guys.
I didn't flash to the latest, probably should have tried before continuing. Is that something worth trying now (I have never had any issues like this with roms etc I don't know where to start?) I also had flashed to the Kernel.ftf for C6903 (.133) as in the instructions.
I just tried the X-Honami v6 kernal. Still the same.
Anybody have any ideas?
Update:
I bricked it trying to revert back the the telstra branded firmware. Red flashing light. It did vibrate at one stage after pressing the power button but nothing since. Have just been charging it until I get a chance to try and fix it. Doesn't really detect it at all when connected via usb but the usb connection sound keeps going off.

Little problem after bootload unlock

Hey guys, i need a help with something that happened in my Z1 after i unlocked the bootloader.
Well, i did the unlock to install some ROMs, i installed all pretty good withouth any problems but something was wrong...
I installed whatsapp, and trying to access the whatsapp web i saw that my phone won't read the qrcode, the camera keeps focusing in a loop and the code changes...
I tried in another computer and the same thing happened, i tried also another phone in my PC and worked, well...
