WARNING: Flashing is NOT without risk. Do NOT do this if your not completely sure it will succeed or you WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Step 1.2 Flashing the BL and FOTA
Same thing here.
1. Open up multiloader, Select LSI and check full download
2. only do this one if your device is ONLY booting bada with incompatible FW Unpack the bootfiles you downloaded and select the folder you extracted.
3. Click FOTA, Select the FOTA you just downloaded.
4. Boot you phone to download mode. (if you don't know how to you should not do this)
5. Click Port search, Download.
6. When done boot bada to make sure the phone works fine. If it does. Continue
Step 2: Installing VB, Ubuntu
Okay, I was told many people have problems with partitioning. This is how i did it and it WORKED.
In this step i will discribe how to install VirtualBox and Ubuntu, If you already done this Skip to step 3
1. Download VirtualBox from: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtu...-71778-Win.exe
2. Install it. When installing i Suggest you download and burn/mount ubuntu if you haven't yet. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
3. Make a new VM in VirtualBox. Jst follow the steps. If you have 4GB RAM I would recommend assigning 1GB to the VM
4. Install ubuntu on the VM. I'm not gonna explain how to do that, just follow the wizards.
Step 3: Installing gParted and partitioning your card
For this step you should have your phone running in bada USB connected with Mass Storage mode.
1. In your Ubuntu VM go to ubuntu software centre. Search for gParted and click install
2. In the VM window you see the menu, Click Devices -> USB Devices -> Samsung Electronincs GT-S8500 Wave. This will connect the wave to ubuntu
3. Launch gParted and wait till it's done scanning. At the right top corner you'll see a drop-down box. This will list all seperate devices. In my case /dev/sdb was the SD Card. You'll just have to look which one os yours
Note: In this case i am assuming we're using the standard samsung 2GB SD card.
4. You found your card? Great, Now first format the partition(s) and then delete them all
5. Then makethe FIRST partition FAT32 the second MUST be ext2 OR ext3 The sizes don't matter just make the android one 1GB or bigger
Step 4: Transferring Files
Okay, I've COMPLETELY re-written this part due to much changes. Goodluck
This part can ONLY be preformed on ubuntu.
In this part we'll need the galaxyboot files and the filesystem
1.Log in as root on your ubuntu box if you haven't already
2.(re-)connect your wave so it mounts the partitions.
3. Open up the filesystem and move the CONTENTS of the filesystem folder to the root of the ext2/ext3 partition.
4. NEW! Get your DHCP script and paste it in /system/bin (on your android partition) and run it by doing "./sh-test.sh" (if it says permission denied or something.. then do "chmod 777 sh-test.sh" before executing)
5. In the same terminal type "chmod -v -R 4755 ./system/xbin/*" This will make your phone rooted.
6. Make an folder called galaxyboot (all lowercase) in the bada INTERNAL memory
7. Open up the internal memory of your wave and put the galaxyboot folder in there. In there you should have 2 files: zImage and sbl.bin
8. go http://pastebin.com/exReHpFa and save this file as s3c-keypad.kl place it in /system/usr/keylayout and overwrite the existing file
8. Now you should be all ready the only thing left is to open up a terminal and type "sudo sync" (no quotes)
Step 5: Running
Okay, now we're ready for first run. This does NOT mean we're done yet.
READ THIS ENTIRE STEP BEFORE STARTING
1. Remove the USB cable and shutdown bada
2. When shut down press the end call button and immideatly after that you press the start call button. Release the end call button when the screen turns on
3. When you see the Samsung GalaxyS S screen release all the buttons.
Notice: It may take up to 5 minutes for first time boot. As long as the screen stays on everything is fine.
Notice2: In case your screen turns of remove the battery and double check everything you've done.
4.Booted up? Awesome. Pass the welcome wizard. Do NOT type in the keyboard part. This will freeze the phone.
5.You passed it? Great. Now you can continue
6. The phone will ask you which launcher to use. I don't care which one you use. I've always used TwLauncher. it's up to you
7. In order to get your keypad working normal Go to settings -> Text and Locale -> Samsung keypad -> Uncheck all
This is it. Now your phone should function normally. If things go wrong for you do not hesistate to ask.
Good Luck
