Another pack of great news – Rebellos and AdamOutler from XDA-Developers managed two very major breakthroughs for Samsung Exynos based devices, the first one is a stable implementation of the Open Galaxy Bootloader (Uboot based) and fastboot on the Galaxy Camera.

This means that not only the users have an option to get away from Samsung’s closed bootloaders, but can now boot directly from the SD Card on the Galaxy S3 & Galaxy Camera and this means that we can fix bricked Samsung Galaxy S3 devices! This project will be also used for directly booting Ubuntu, Chrome OS, WebOS or just about anything else!

Here is the first Android 4.2.1 ROM for our beloved HTC HD2 (cooked by sportsstar89 from XDA-Developers)! The new ROM is currently in alpha version, based on the latest CyanogenMod 10.1 source and almost everything is working, but there is no WiFi and Data connection – so it’s not intended for daily usage at the moment.

To get it running on your HD2 you need to use cLK and system partition size 275 (the ROM will not work with MAGLDR), stay tuned for more stable releases and new ROMs 😀

Cotulla posted the photos on his Twitter account (twitter.com/CotullaCode) and as we can see from them, the phone is running Windows RT using the latest UEFI MAGLDR version 1.10.540 that is not available to the public. We have no information about the current progress and what’s working or not, it seems that the whole project is private and there is no any other information about it, anyway that’s just another peace of love to the best smartphone ever – HTC HD2!
