Hi guys, n00b question here.
Is it possible to convert the filesystem on a stock flash to ext4? E.G: Flashing a stock ROM, then flashing the OverCome kernel. Will that work?
Yes - only flash a zimage that supports ext4 ex. overcome_kernel with odin or heimdall.
Make sure ure a GSM or CDMA user so that u flash a correct kernel for ure phone.
Thanks very much : ) Tried it and it worked perfectly.

Would someone be in the mood to make a odin one click for
1. Eclair/Froyo bootloaders
2. I897 GB bootloaders
?
I dont like having to wipe data and flash stock when testing kernels for MIUI, which some of the new test kernels require different bootloaders for them to work.

Is it that hard to use normal Odin? or Heimdall? You can just download JF6 or KF1 from samfirmware and just flash primary and secondary bootloader.

Use a one click. They are in the development forum. Use the search tools

Technically, its not one click but the Heimdall stock firmware by ubermaximus(I hope I got that right) will let you remove the stuff you don't want before you flash. You can remove cache.rfs, dbdata.rfs, factory.rfs, modem.bin, zImage (I think that's all). Keep the param.lfs file and the bootloaders.
If you can find just the bootloaders and param.lfs file you can create your own one click from the uckf1 download. It contains a one click creator in the odin zip.

When I extracted the JF6 firmware from the tar file, i saw param.lfs, cache.rfs, dbdata.rfs, factory.rfs, modem.bin and zImage and thats it. So just keep the param.lfs and flash with Heimdall?

Hi all,
I am wondering if someone will be able to clarify for me.
I have got the Darky 10.2.2 final and I want to install the Latest JVS from SamFirmware.
Will this okay or will this be dangerous? I just want to put it back to Stock and then root it using chainFire CF "Our Legend".
I am planning to just flash on top of the current Darky on the Phone.
Hope this make sense.
I am using ODIN and I have got JIG for download mode.
Thanks guys.
I went from Darky 10.2 to JVS (and then semaphore kernel) no problems..
I had no need to use a jig.

Thanks for the reply.
I am not too familiar with I9000.
Do i need to install the ext4 from CF afterwards? For the lag fix?
Reason i ask is because i noticed that CF has the addon file available for download.
Cheers
It's always a good idea to revert to rfs before flashing a new firmware (in case the kernel doesn't support ext4; i don't think stock jvs does).
Otherwise shouldn't be a problem
Flashed stock rom with pit included. Now using latest. Seems to be ojay. Dont think i will need lag fix
Cheers

Hi All,
I looked all over for an answer to this. I'm running the stock leaked Verizon GB update and I was wondering if the ext3 format would apply or even be possible with the stock kernel. I'm extremely happy with the gb update and I'm completely dumbfounded as to why this isn't out yet? Skype works great and is the main reason I updated. Anyhow, thoughts about the ext3?
Cheers,
Rob

The stock kernels, unless it's a custom modded stock kernel, will not support the ext4 filesystem.

That doesn't answer his freaking question. I have a p1000 also which I bought already rooted and I have no idea what it is on. Knowing how to determine what you are on would be very helpful. You see every ROM thread talk about both but you never see anything on how to figure out which one you are on.

type 'mount' in terminal emulator
if you have MTD, your /system is mounted from /dev/block/mtdblockX
'cat /proc/mtd' give you details for the mounts.

Are you serious? He said he was on overcome and asking does he have mtd or not.
My answer clearly indicate that since he wasn't on cm9 , he has no mtd.
Of course by now there is aokp mtd too.
But still, no overcome with mtd.
If you have question, just post a new thread, no need to bash me for something I answered in good faith LAST MONTH.

Calm mate hehehe, but i think overcome 4.1.0 already come with mtd correct me if i'm wrong..
Like another post has been said, For OP if you dont mind try type mount in your terminal or you can look into /proc directory, have mtd file or not?

No. Overcome never has mtd.
Only bml but uses ext4 fs.
Need to say this so no newbies confused.
If you are on overcome, you are on bml.

Ah i see, because i follow stimpz0r guide for flashing aokp rom and he say to flashing with overcome first if you come from non mtd so i think overcome using mtd and after that we can flash aokp rom based on mtd....

It is clear that overcome is bml not mtd, and at least you need overcome kernel to have updated CWM recovery for conversion to mtd

So if I am not on ICS roms, that would mean I have a non-mtd. But what are the non-mtd's that I may have on my ROM? if I am on a 2.3.6 based ROM.. what do I have?
is MTD a file system like window's fat32 and NTFS, or is it something else?
1) No. MTD is not a file system. it is a partition scheme.
Just like MBR for most windows system and old linuxes and the new GUID partition table in OS X and newer linuxes.
The MBR is the one that let you have up to 4 primary partitions (due to a 2-bit room for definition, I think) and the rest have to be in extended/logical partition.
So, BML is proprietary Samsung, and MTD is open source one.
Filesystems is fat, fat32, ntfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, yaffs2, HPFS, you get the idea.
2) yes, before ICS I doubt there is a custom rom for gtab that has MTD. So Gingerbread is 99.9% likely non MTD.
Tricky to find what ROM you have. Even the one that has touchwiz, could be stock, overcome, acudroid.
Non touchwiz one could be CM7, BOCA, hyperdroid, etc..
I don't know how to fingerprint them, but the Setting | About may tell a lot.
See which kernel is that listed there and all other version strings there and google them, you may find a match.
Priyana, thanks for the detail yet simple explanation regarding types of extn. Now I know what extn I got on my phone Lately I have been thinking of flashing ICS rom (Im on overcome 4.1 rightnow) but since I am not sure whether all the apps and games on my phone will work on ICS. Through some light on this. I will be using titanium bakup. Thanks in advance.
