Android 2.2 on S8500

[AfroVictor]

Dear all,

How to make dual boot on Wave S8500 to install Android ?

Thanks.

As fare as i remember (i had the dualboot before bada 2.0 betas), you will have to have a valid FOTA (component of the firmware) that can boot android.

Last one i've seen was for bada 2.0 K1 i think. It's the only thing to modify, the reste is copying file on a sd card (ext2 format), so linux might be helpful.

**link removed**

Also, you have to know that :

- project is actually frozen, nobody seems to be working on it.
- Call + GPS + Camera + Sensors (battery) do not work. Android on Wave is just a music/game player for now

First be aware that Android on Wave has many bugs and it is in Alpha stage! So 3G,GSM, GPS, Sensors, Batteryindicator are not working! And the system is very slow. Also Android messed up my micro sd card and deleted everything!


(android) fota are currently availabe for [ Login above or register to see download links. ] and [ Login above or register to see download links. ] bada 2.0 firmwares!

You only flash the .fota file on multiloader. Do not tick anything, just select fota and flash! Start your phone connect it in mass storage mode!

Then there are two options!

1. install on internal memory
2. install on external sd card

The second one is more difficult because you have to manage the sd card and you need linux for that. (i think there are also programs in windows but don`t know them anymore)

---

So let`s continue with 1.option(installing on internal sd)

Create a folder in your ROOT internal memory, so when you open "computer"-->and click on your mass storage, there you must put the folder "galaxyboot".

IN this folder you should have 3 files

-zImage
-sbl.bin
-ext2system.img

Downloads are at the end of the post!

So it look like this!

Now you have only two put the "mkext2images.sh" also to your ROOT.

That look like this!

Shutdown the phone and press middle button(home button) + power button + volume UP

WAIT!!! Don`t touch the phone



After that you can boot android with call button + power button!
