Amazon published a new update for Kindle Fire HD 7 (link).
I see that updates come with two different versions of boot image:
Code:
$ unzip update-kindle-7.3.0_D025_3013320.bin
$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 220K 2011-09-07 06:52 u-boot-prod.bin
What is the different between "boot" and "u-boot" images? And between "-eng" and "-prod" images?
boom boom boom
I couldn't tell you what the actual difference (if any) is, but the designations are "eng" for engineering build and "prod" for production build. Generally speaking, an engineering build has a ton more debugging stuff active, to the point that it negatively impacts performance.

Hi,
I have upgraded my moboot to 3.0.5 and upgraded the Cyanogenmod to CM9. Also, i have decided to install TouchPadBuntu to test it. Followed the instructions with some modifications, and everything went fine, but when i try to boot on it via moboot, it gives the error:
Loading '/boot/uImage.TouchPadBuntu'... OK
Checking uImage... Invalid Magic
BOOT FAILED!
Also, ClockRecovery doesn't works too, it returns some numbers (hex codes) on the boot screen.
Someone can give some light?
I'm dealing with same problem, but with Arch Linux.
I think the problem is in /boot free space...
Can you list your files in /boot and your free space in there?
ls -l /boot
df -h /boot
Hi, i have attached the errors... one is TouchPadBuntu error, and the other is Cyanogenmod error that is appearing sometimes yes, sometimes no...

Hi folks,
I have corrected my problem downloading uImage.TouchPadUbuntu again via CURL direclty to /boot. To do this i have to use mount -O rw,remount /boot and execute the curl command here.
After this, i rebooted the touchpad and now have ubuntu on it. But using touchscreen as mouse is sucking a lot, and response of my touch on virtual keyboard too... but fine to test!
I also solved my problem, I think the problem was pretty like yours!
My solution post.
Hi,
I bought a brand new samsung galaxy s plus GT-I9001 in Poland (locked to Orange network) and I 'm trying to unlock the phone, but I can't because my phone does not contain the nv_data.bin file in the efs folder.
I have rooted the phone using the tutorial posted in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001#Rooting
I got root access and found that in efs folder I got these files

as you can see the efs folder contain cryptprop files which are very small.
The phone works normally, it has its IMEI and connects to GSM network and WiFi network as well. (*#06# returns value 352377055840629)
I'm trying to unlock the phone myself but without nv_data.bin I'm getting nowhere...
Could someone please help me?
PS:
I have changed the stock rom (orange) to XEO rom (I9001XXKPU 2.3.6 and I9001XXKI2 2.3.4) but efs folder is the same each time.
I have checked the init.rc file in the root... ht file looks like this:
Line 56:
mkdir /efs 0771 system system
Line 131 - 135:
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 /efs nosuid nodev barrier=0
insmod /lib/modules/sec_param.ko
Line 160 - 165:
#efs

# Added for testing DIVX DRM

chown media system /efs/.files/.dj550
chmod 0775 /efs/.files/.ssh01
chmod 0775 /efs/.files/.jck12
chmod 0775 /efs/.files/.dj550
This init.rc does not create the folders WiFi or Bluetooth like in other device (I checked in a galaxy SII)
The init.rc file is attached.

Hi
I was running CM 10 stable and on friday I installed CM 10.1 nightly 20130111. I installed after factorty reset, cache and dalvik cache wipe. After rebooting I saw a message that android is upgrading along with "optimising" 96 apps. After finishing optimisation it went to home screen and instantly message "Unfortunatley, the process com.android.phone has stopped" popped up. when I hit ok, it popped up again and again and then phone rebooted.
Now it is stuck in reboot loop.
Please help.
Thanks

Have you tried wiping data again from recovery and then boot?

Yeah, multiple times.
I tried to flash stock firmware back but I think system is read only now.
When I flashed stockfirmware from samfirmware also with odin and pit file, I was able to go to stock recovery but phone never booted to stock firmware. Then I flashed semaphore . this time I could see semaphore logo and then cyanogenmod animation. Seeing cyanogen animation was a surprise as it should have been wiped when i flashed stockfirmare.
I went to recovery mode again did factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik cache. Then mounted usb and copied latest nightly of 10.1 and gapps to customroms folder on my sdcard.
After copying I rebooted into recovery mode again and selected install from zip on sdcard but to my surprise the new files I copied were not there but the files I deleted were still there.
It seems like phone didn't allow me to alter content of sdcard. To test I mounted the usb storage again and created some dummy files like default.txt, default.ini and default.zip in root of sdcard and deleted some files from my backup files of fuellog folder. After unmounting and going through files on phone I discovered that new files are not there and old files are still present.
Another thing is that I have factory reset multiple times, wiped cache partition and cleared dalvik cache as well but every time I mount usb from recovery I have .android_secure folder filled with my previous apps from CM 10.0, which I think shouldn't be there after factory reset.
So I guess it is something to do with permissions. I have done 'fix permissions' multiple times but that also didn't helped.
One more thing I noticed is that after I flash CM10.1 from old file still in my sdcard, on first boot I get com.phone.android error but then on second boot I saw option to complete action using apex, nova or trebuchet laucnher behing the com.android.phone error. I think I shouldn't see that message as it is suppose to be new install with factory reset.
after I click ok on the error message, the phone reboots again but this time it stuck on cyanogen animation. it never goes past animation on 3rd boot.
I have really no idea what is happening.
Is there a way to reset everything through adb? or reset file permissions? I could access my device using adb but had no idea what I could do or not do.

That's a really weird and detailed explanation .. however I am unable to explain the behaviour of your phone.. what I can suggest is formating the sd card too (if you have backup of data that is) and format /system too manually along with wiping data, cache and dalvik cache.. after that flash CM10.1 nightly twice.. don't flash gapps atm.. after that reboot recovery.. wipe data, cache again (not /system this time) and flash nightly again.. fix permissions and then reboot..
I know repetition like this doesn't make much sense but nor does your problem..
Hope this will help.
if you are comeing from cm10.0 ant flashing cm10.1 it is recommend to wipe /system befor flashing
In other ROMs I've edited an XML file in /system/csc to make some changes to the keyboard -- specifically, to display alternate symbols when you press-hold a key. I flashed stock MM tonight and noticed that this folder no longer exists.
I checked the Maximum OvrDriVE MM ROM and it does have this folder with the appropriate file. So what happened to the CSC stuff in stock?

Those are the stock ODIN flashable files. Once you flash it via ODIN you will see CSC folder on your phone under /system directory.

I've flashed the build a couple times now, same results. My procedure:
1. Ensure SuperSU zip is on external SD card
2. Boot TWRP recovery (currently 3.0.2 installed)
3. Wipe every partition except external SD
4. Boot the phone into download mode
5. Odin (3.0.9) the ROM to the phone
6. Odin TWRP back to the phone
7. Boot TWRP recovery
8. Flash SuperSU zip
9. Reboot and let settle for 15 minutes

Don't know if it would make any difference but you should be using Odin 3.11.1 with this latest EPG2 firmware. CSC related files reside in cache.img.ext4 , so it is possible that that particular file is not being flashed in your case.

Hm, you might very well have discovered the cause.

I'm surprised the phone even works!
Hm, experiencing flash write failures. First time was about 15% finished. Second time seems about 95% finished.
Third flash completed. Before rebooting, I flashed TWRP. Then I booted TWRP and installed SuperSU. Booted normally and received the dreaded ddi: mmc_read failed message. Crap. Tried another flashing round, which also completed, and let it boot immediately. The Samsung recovery started (which I have never actually seen before) and ran through an installation cycle of something. After that, the phone booted and once again shows ddi:mmc_read failed. Is this thing kaput now?
----------
EDIT: I power cycled the phone and now it appears to be doing a normal first boot -- I'm staring at the T-Mobile splash and the status light is flickering blue/cyan. Wow!

Did you use the latest version of ODIN now? Also if the phone looks stuck on T-Mobile logo for longer than 30 mins, then remove the battery from the phone and try to boot again.

Yep, Odin 3.11.1 worked, but like I wrote before, it took three attempts. Weird.
BTW, not everyone agrees that the version of Odin was the actual problem:

Worked like a charm. Now I have wifi calling and secondary characters on my keyboard again!
You'll also notice that Bluetooth tethering is gone. T-Mobile likes to disable that for some reason. I imagine that buried in one of the CSC files is a line you could delete to restore Bluetooth tethering.
