| 5 | You can dump the PARAM partition for the Galaxy SIII (GT-I9300) like that: |
||
| 6 | <pre> |
||
| 7 | adb pull /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/PARAM PARAM.img |
||
| 8 | </pre> |
||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | That file at first looks like a tar archive. |
||
| 11 | <pre> |
||
| 12 | $ file PARAM.img |
||
| 13 | PARAM.img: POSIX tar archive (GNU) |
||
| 14 | </pre> |
||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | And it indeed does contain a tarball: |
||
| 17 | <pre> |
||
| 18 | $ tar tvf PARAM.img |

| 50 | The size of the PARAM.img file is exactly 8MiB: |
||
| 51 | <pre> |
||
| 52 | 8 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | $ ls -lah PARAM.img |
| 53 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | [...] 8.0M [...] PARAM.img |
| 54 | 8 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | $ ls -la PARAM.img |
| 55 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | [...] 8388608 [...] PARAM.img |
| 56 | </pre> |
||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | And we can get the size of the tarball with --totals: |
||
| 59 | <pre> |
||
| 60 | $ man tar |
||
| 61 | [...] |
||
| 62 | --totals[=SIGNAL] |
||
| 63 | Print total bytes after processing the archive. [...] |
||
| 64 | </pre> |
||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | For example: |
||
| 67 | <pre> |
||
| 68 | 8 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | $ tar --totals -tf PARAM.img |
| 69 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | adv-env.img |
| 70 | [many files] |
||
| 71 | warning.jpg |
||
| 72 | Total bytes read: 911360 (890KiB, 286MiB/s) |
||
| 73 | </pre> |
||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | 7 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | So here the tarball terminates way before the end of the PARAM.img file. |
| 76 | 1 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
| 77 | 911360 is 0xde800: |
||
| 78 | <pre> |
||
| 79 | $ python |
||
| 80 | [...] |
||
| 81 | >>> hex(911360) |
||
| 82 | '0xde800' |
||
| 83 | </pre> |
||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | But we still have things after the tarball: |

| 160 | Questions: |
||
| 161 | * Why are the kernel parameters repeated again after the end of the tarball? |
||
| 162 | * Where are the updated kernel parameters stored? |
||
| 163 | * Are the default and in-use kernel parameters stored at different location? |
||
| 164 | 3 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | |
| 165 | h2. kenrel command line |
||
| 166 | |||
| 167 | *Default kernel command line*: @console=ram loglevel=4@ |
||
| 168 | |||
| 169 | 8 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | Test: |
| 170 | 3 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * change to @console=ram loglevel=8@ through the bootloader setenv command |
| 171 | 8 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * run saveenv |
| 172 | 3 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * reboot and validate that it's really changed with printenv |
| 173 | * observe the results on the filesystem |
||
| 174 | |||
| 175 | See [[MidasBootloader]] for more details on how to change the command line parameters. |
||
| 176 | |||
| 177 | After changing the environment variable, we still have loglevel=4 in the adv-env.img file that is in the tarball: |

| 209 | 3 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | * Since the s-boot 4.0 bootloader on several Exynos 4412 devices (GT-I9300, GT-I9305, GT-N7100, GT-N7105) doesn't take into account the boot.img kenrel parameters, we can then try to change them by editing the PARAM.img after the tarball. |
| 210 | * There is valuable info after the tarball => don't make the tarball grow too much. |

| 212 | h2. USB switch |
||
| 213 | |||
| 214 | On a GT-I9300, if I set the address @0x00700204@ to @00@, it switch to the USB to the modem's USB, and @Bus 002 Device 095: ID 1519:0020 Comneon HSIC Device@ appears when connecting the GT-I9300 to a computer. |
||
| 215 | |||
| 216 | When I set it back to @01@, I can have ADB again. |

| 261 | 9 | Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli | At the next boot the s-boot bootloader will then configure the USB switch to connect to the modem USB. |
| 262 | |||
| 263 | You can also get that behavior with the stock OS if you go to the phone application and enter @*#7284#@ and set @USB@ to |
||
| 264 | @MODEM@ and then click on the @SAVE and RESET@ button. It will then reboot the phone automatically. |
||
| 265 | |||
| 266 | Note that in both case (when doing it manually with Replicant or through the stock OS): |
||
| 267 | * ADB will not work anymore in Replicant, the recovery and the stock OS |
||
| 268 | * Heimdall may not work anymore |
||
| 269 | so you need a plan to be able to recovery from it. |
||
| 270 | |||
| 271 | If you run the stock OS, you can't count on recoveries as it tend to replace them the recoveries with its own recovery, but you can still use @*#7284#@ to change @USB@ back to @PDA@ instead of @MODEM@. |
||
| 272 | |||
| 273 | With Replicant, you can enable the terminal, adb and root for adb and applications in the developers settings, and once that is done, through the terminal application you can get root with @su@ and then type the following command to enable adb again: |
||
| 274 | <pre> |
||
| 275 | echo PDA > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/switch/usb_sel |
||
| 276 | </pre> |
||
| 277 | as this command is temporary (until the next reboot), you'll have to edit again the @PARAM@ partition and copy the modified @PARAM@ image to the @PARAM@ partition with @dd@. |

| 279 | h2. Modem debug level |
||
| 280 | |||
| 281 | In the stock OS, if we go to the phone application and dial @*#9900#@ and change the @Debug Level Enabled@ (@LOW@ @MEDIUM@ and @HIGH@ are available), the PARAM partition will be modified (and then the phone will be rebooted): |
||
| 282 | |||
| 283 | Here we switched the setting from @LOW@ to @MEDIUM@, and it produces a difference at @0x700208@: |

| 412 | To capture that I had to : |
||
| 413 | * Set the desired setting (through the phone application after dialing @$*#9900#@ and let it reboot |
||
| 414 | * then shut down the phone |
||
| 415 | * Then boot into the download mode |
||
| 416 | * then flash a Replicant recovery with root to @BOOT@ (do not flash it to RECOVERY) |
||
| 417 | * Then to dump the PARAM partition |
||
| 418 | * Then to reboot to the bootloader |
||
| 419 | * Then to flash back the stock OS BOOT |
||
| 420 | |||
| 421 | If for some reason I rebooted to the RECOVERY partition, the setting would be changed back to @LOW@ (this was verified by dialing @*#9900#@ and then looking at the setting value without changing it). |
