lk2nd is a bootloader for Qualcomm MSM devices, based on the CodeAurora Little Kernel fork. It provides an Android Fastboot interface on devices where the stock bootloader does not provide Fastboot (e.g. Samsung).
lk2nd does not replace the stock bootloader. It is packaged into an Android boot image and then loaded by the stock bootloader as a "secondary" bootloader. The real Android boot image is placed into the boot partition with 1 MB offset, and then loaded by lk2nd.

lk2nd.img
(as of now there's no build available so you'll need to build it yourself.) - Flash
lk2nd.img
using the stock flashing procedure:
- Fastboot:
fastboot flash boot lk2nd.img
lk2nd provides the standard Android fastboot protocol for flashing/booting Android boot images.
Press Volume Down
while booting to enter Fastboot mode.
Press Volume Up
while booting to boot into Recovery mode.
Note: If your stock bootloader uses the same key combinations, you need to wait a bit before pressing the volume keys. Usually, waiting until the screen turns on and/or the device vibrates should be enough to make the stock bootloader ignore the keys.
fastboot flash lk2nd lk2nd.img
can be used to update lk2nd directory from its
fastboot interface.
Note: fastboot flash boot boot.img
will flash the actual boot image with 1 MB offset
into the boot partition. This is done to avoid replacing lk2nd (since it is also booted from
the boot partition).
Other fastboot commands work normally.
