And one more thing, how do I know it works after I flash the zip?
EDIT: I typed in ls /sys/kernel/debug and hit enter in a terminal, with and without root and nothing outputs

If im understanding the article I just read on 2nd init, its pointless to run this unless you have a rom to install or are building a rom that uses it. This mod doesn't currently do anything for basic users and there is no need to have it currently. This mod is for serious developers only, am I right naven? I mean what's the point of hijacking the init if you have nothing to overwrite the boot process with? This is a very important mod , don't get me wrong and im very thankful for it.

Pretty much. That's why I didn't bother posting a long post about it. If you know how to use this, you can do pretty much anything shy of flashing a kernel or recovery.
Awesome work, thank you! Hopefully some devs can put this to use.
Hey Naven, have you been able or tried to get a hold of Dragonzkiller to see where he might be at with his work on CM7 or if he is still working on it at all?? Would be nice to know... And thanks again on the hard work to get this working finally!!!
Cool.... what was the new signature for execve()? Sorry I didn't log in to notice earlier =( You should post source
Glad you got it working!!
I haven't looked at it in awhile but dragonzkiller has his source on github you could probably Google it and it'll tell you if he's been active at all or you could even get the source. Last i heard i think it was the just the 2nd init that was causing problems.

Honestly, I think that guy was just a sham, no offense, but I tried to contact him so that I could fork his code and assist in getting Cyanogen, but he never contacted me back, and the code on his github hasn't even been touched for like two months.
So, we have 2nd init, but no one is doing anything with it. Sure wish I knew more about how to move CM7 to our device. I have some free time but no knowledge.
Also, I haven't noticed this 2nd-init being discussed on other forums. Shouldn't you post it in as many places aa possible to gather more interest? Just a thought.

Please don't ever say that no one is doing anything with this. I am. CM7 is what I'm trying to do and with a dedicated version for the x2 (which my current version is a port of the ATRIX), I might be able to do something. The ONLY thing keeping me from continuing with CM7 is the new init script for it. Right now, I'm stuck though until kernel.org is back up and running.
I'm wondering, with 2nd init, would it be possible to boot into tenfars recovery without having to plug your phone in? If so, how hard would it be to implement?

Sorry. No offense intended. I think we had all got the impression that you were just blowing smoke or had dropped off the face of the planet because no one had been able to contact you regarding your efforts. Please, please, please continue. CM7 is our only ticket to having MIUI on this bad boy some day, and I am eager for that day to come. In the meantime, if there is any way I can help, hit me up. I know a lot about coding and debugging, but no real experience with Android ROMs, so maybe I can help...maybe not. Just let me know.
so is this different than navenedrob's other hack? is this something I should flash over Eclipse with the init.d hack?

Anyone willing to help can help. I never said no one could. Too many people on here want stuff with no dev'ing from themselves. I have been in contact with a few notable devs that I have helped me, and I will thank them. Now that I have the source back, I have started porting over the new 2nd-init into CM7DX2.

Just curious if any roms or anything are being developed for the DX2. I have an upgrade available and the $50 off loyalty user discount, and I'm debating between this, the iPhone, or the Charge(Really don't want to pay 250 for a phone but MEH)...
Being as I have a D1 now, and am getting an Asus Transformer on Monday, I really don't need a Android phone so I'm leaning to the iPhone. The DX2 keeps drawing me back with its Tegra 2 >_>

As soon as we have an SBF development will start. Will the previous bootstrap method work if it is modified for our phone? Maybe.
P3Droid confirmed TBH has plans for development of the X2 and D3 a few hours ago.
He also said they don't have a X2 yet, so no real time frame was given.

Man, I love those guys. They never let us down.
someone with a clue could just go ahead and try Edgan's 2nd init:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109287
if someone dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p[1 to 17] of=/sdcard/dx2-blk0p[1 to 17] i can poke around, see if your init.rc has changed, etc. *.prop files and /proc/mounts or output of /bin/df -h would help. gitbrew.org would probably give you space to host.
can y'all root with gingerbreak? please don't try the above 'dd' command unless you know what you are doing. you'll need root anyway...
pretty sure your device is much like atrix but cdma, less ram, smaller emmc, no webtop or front facing camera. otherwise, a lot of atrix tricks might work for you, but we don't have a huge number of devs working on our phone either =(
Yes u can root with gingerbreak

It looks like they're labled 1-18 on the x2, I'll take a look after I get back from the gym.
Is there an atrix init.rc I could run a diff on?
1-18 is just like ours, but we have /webtop on p13, what do you have there? (p18 is our /sdcard and so would not be needed in a dump, nor would p16, our /data)
otherwise similar to: http://a-trix.net/wiki/index.php/Partitions ?
i've extracted atrix CG56 (boot.img) ramdisk and init.rc, attached to this post, please share your init.rc, *.prop, or just full system dump if you can.
whether Edgan's 2nd init hack will work (breaking in at mount_ext3.sh) depends on your particular init.rc and /system. also, we do not yet have a GUI bootmenu for atrix 2nd init. tenfar ported our CWM but i think others are getting the recovery built more or less direct from his git so you could port that somewhat easily.
if there is a translation of build.prop IDs to sbf filenames for your phone someone should detail that so the .sbf file can be pulled. (might be also depend on /default.prop from ramdisk) surely this is known by someone. otherwise a VZ employee should be kindly encouraged to leak it so you can dev safely!

AFAIK all Motorolas are hosted the same (US releases?) but filenames differ...
Good news is that init.rc looks similar enough that Edgan's 2nd init trick would probably work without almost any changes... Will diff more thoroughly later..

Well, if this means anything, the atrix already has a sbf, and a recovery. So hopefully the devs can do something with it for the dx2. I know p3droid is out, but all in all, I don't think it really matters. There's gonna be other devs working on this phone once everything gets figured out, its gonna be bad ass. It just takes time

Hello, I've rooted my ota Gingerbread x2 with "Petes motorola rooting tools" but would l ike to overclock. The stock droid x2 kernal does not seem to allow overclocking. IS there a kernal available for this?
Steve
Because of the locked bootloader there are no 3rd party kernels available.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
As BrianKLV said, the bootloader is locked. Until that is unlocked we won't get any over-clocking done. The best thing you can do right now is run the SuperCharger scripts as far as helping performance.
How do we still get these kinds of questions? It's silly...

It's actually not that silly. I was wondering the same thing because I had the Droid X and was able to overclock it and it had a locked bootloader. So one would think, that if it can be done with the Droid X then overclocking should be able to be done with the Droid X 2.
From what I've read, overclocking can be done with 2nd-init, But it took the DX almost a year to get there, so the DX2 might be a little faster but it's still too soon to expect any results.
It's all got to do with the most important resource any of these phones have : independent development by creative people.

Ha! Whoops, I should have check my spelling. I really made myself look like a dumb ass.
I meant I had a Droid X and it did not need unlocked bootloader or 2nd init to overclock. I use to use jrummys overclocking app long before 2nd init even came out for the X.
So that being the case its possible that our X2s may be able to still be overclocked. It may just take some waiting. Hopefully its sooner than later.

The X had a Dev phone version that was unlocked. Because of this the community had access to many files that otherwise would be unaccessible. With these they were able to create kernel modules that allowed overclocking even with a locked boot loader.
Unfortunately there are no X2 Dev phones in the wild. No Dev phone = no files, no files = no way to create a overclocking module, hence no way to currently overclock the X2.
Our only hope is a unlocked bootloader or a module based off the atrix kernel, unfortunately the people who are in the know don't really seem interested in trying. To busy with 4G phones lol.

Not true.
Not to be rude, but when I didn't have experience I read. It would have taken about 30 seconds of searching on google to find out that the X2 cannot be overclocked and why, probably less time than it took to create this thread.
Laziness, pure and simple.
When I have an issue I read. I was just putting out what I knew. Which wasn't the correct answer and Someone with more knowledge corrected me. Which taught me something new that I was unaware of and I appreciated.
So I hope you were talking about the person that created the original post, not me.
Speaking for the original poster. If you don't have anything constructive to add to the tread, you should avoid being an ass and shut your mouth. We have all been there in the beginning when experimenting and trying to find info. There is alot of info and reading to due, so it is also easy to miss something or not understand correctly.
So your post is a pointless waste of time and added absolutely nothing constructive.
Even if you have no coding experience at all, you can help. Testing is the easiest way to help. There are millions of lines of code and ways to set up these phones. Testing is the most important part of the development process. Without testers bugs will roam free. There are two separate major test categories, kernels and roms. Then minor testing such as mods/themes/etc. Kernels are the brains of the phone. Roms is the body. Both need to be tested and both need to be improved. When you test please do more than just quadrant. Make specific repeatable comments that will help some one fix the issue. Thanks and happy testing

Ok - I'd love to help, but I'm not sure what your kernel is or the gentop is? I've rooted my phone, messed with a few simple things here and there, but other than that - I'm still learning. I did install a custom ROM on my old Hero, but I haven't messed with the Photon.
I do have time though - I work a lot of night shifts and if shown how to do something, I learn it quickly! If I can be any help, message me and I'll do what I can to help out!
I gotcha bubb. I'm in a 4G area if you you are still working on the bootloader
Hell I will even let you remote control my computer. Just don't go into the folder that says mmmm lol
No need. I actually know how to install a 64 bit operating system. Lol. Im slowly working on it. Its not a bootloader problem. Motorolas official engineering phones with real unlocked factory bootloaders dont have 4g. So obviously we gotta look elsewhere. Its possibly recovery related or some form of security check. Once we find exactly what it we can fix it. The best way is to dd everything. Like dd / lol. Once with stock, then after unlock only then recovey change. Once all three is pulled. Someone needs to run a diff, or physically cross check everything, eek. Once the culprit is found we will squash it. so obviously you can see this will be time consuming. Way more time then I ever get. I would have to take a vacation just to get that kind of time. I can do the squashing after the fact but atm im stuck trying to blindly fix it

Okay this is to everyone wanting to help. Find me cool patches. Remember your looking for arm no neon stuff the kernel is 2.6.32.9(kinda). I might update to .50 if I can ever find those patches. Most stuff I can manually patch and do, but 2.6.32.* patches are huge and I need .patch's to do that. If you find kernels from other phones with cool stuff please make sure they actually post source. A bfs 400+ patch for 2.6.32.9 would be awesome, so would proper autogroups. Post findings here.

Overview:
This is basically a ROM I made when I was bored.
It is based off of Pepperm1nt's [ROM][GB 2.3.4]GingerBread Phone 7 v0.4
I replaced some of the apps with MIUI apps such as
MIUI launcher
MIUI Music
MIUI Browser
I am not sure this ROM will work or flash so flash at your own risk
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone. Use at your own discretion
How to install
Must be on 2.3.4 NOT 2.3.5
Install bootstrap
Reboot into bootstrap recovery
Wipe data/cache
Flash this ROM

That's because gbp7 is not aosp based.....

was it just me or did it not let anyone else past the 'account' page? it wouldnt take me to my home to where i could set up my recovery so i had to sbf, so nice try OP, but i recommend you take this and base it off your own rom and get to familiar with the android system so you can take this and and make it your own

This is only GBphone rom + the MIUI launcher look alike and locker + other look alikes.
Sounds a little weird. No pics of screenshots or even tested? Based off someone elses rom without even asking first. Althoug he did give proper credit and did not try to act like it was his own. I appreciate all development for this phone but have to admit this is a first for me to see The OP even states not sure if this will work lol. Does not give you that warm fuzzy feeling and anxious to flash something new.

Gives me the warmest feeling of being excited to be the first to flash something Although not everyone is comfortable doing an SBF.

I dont mind doing a sbf. Did plenty when I was getting to eclipse 2.02 when I had root keeper on my phone I do not mean to bash anyone it is just weird the OP says he is not sure if it will work. Also the title I thought was a little misleading thought this was a MIUI rom.
Seems odd to complain about someone cooking up a new option for a phone with so little support. Regardless of the nature of that option, or what you experienced on another phones dev thread.
Thanks Jay, though I wont be using your work its nice to see people working with the x2. And incorporating miui apps / miui lookalike apps is a neat idea for miui fans who can't flash it due to a pesky locked bootloader.
And, I know none of you fine folks intended to come off as ungrateful or complainy (its my word don't steal it ). Its easy for things to be misinterpreted, between thinking about what you want to post, posting, and someone else reading your post with none of the vocal expression you had in mind.

Any chance of getting cm, maybe official so we can use the amazing cyandelta app.

That requires either a CM guy to have our phone and decide to develop for it, or one of our amazing dev's to port it. Since we just got the ability to unlock the bootloader, It'll take a little while for things to ramp up. Baby steps.

How hard can it be to port CM?? I ask because I am considering attempting to do this over thanksgiving... I never ported CM before and I don't have much of an understanding of the Android Source code... But I can get my way around basic source code editing, if I have a lot of help... So, if someone can tell me how to start porting this thing, I may attempt to do so over thanksgiving.. but don't get your hopes up, I am just a novice dude here...
I think there are some porting guides on xda somewhere for cm9 try looking at those. Im willing to test builds by the way.

I would imagine it would be fairly difficult, the rezound took some time to get AOSP on it.

Ya gotta start somewhere. Good luck!
good luck my friend.
prepare for many sleepless, banging head against the wall - nights/mornings.
What Andy said lol. Also, look in the rez forums, there are a few developers there who have already encountered some of the issues you may and they may be able to help you (particularly Chad)

Hehe I have a Jellybean AOKP test build available. Tester needs S-ON bootloader unlocked. Not S-Off, cause I don't want to brick anyone. Also need to be able to get/send me a logcat of the build. PM me.

dmeadows013 said something about a build being available but not quite sure if he was being serious or not. Anyway, I have a plan cooking up. I will download source and try to compile it, but fair warning I am a total newb to aosp deving and it may take forever, or never, to make a working AOSP build. I'm getting myself a new laptop which should help me build this thing. So far I put it off as my primary machine is tied up doing my regular work and with this spare laptop, I can do the hell I want while doing my regular work. Multitasking at its best!
Also, I really want to get some pointers on how to setup the build for a new device. I know that if all we are trying to do is build for a device that is already supported, then you already have the necessary files to compile it for that device. But, what I don't know is how to set up the build environment for a new device. Someone with some know how will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
