yes, i did and still using that partition for my own use. but to play safe, i suggest u better try the ota and see of it will use that partition as a tmp storage or not

good luck
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] simone201:
OTA? Who uses OTA? :D:D:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ykkfive:
just in case only, coz i dono if ppl use it for online custom rom updates/upgrades

1) Have you had a chance to see how this works for the SGS3?

2) Do you know what the boot sequence is in the SGS3 (and is it the same as in SGS2)?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Odia:
I do not own a GT-I9300 at the moment, I cannot force myself to own a white phone :p So holding out for a blue.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] E:V:A:
I know. It's just so...pale! But we have the system images, that could be used...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Odia:
Its not that its pale, when I am out and using the phone I am scared someone will think its an iPhone :p or beat me up for being a ****** with a gay white phone :D

Well yes could use the system images, but I prefer to use JTAG for that type of analysis.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nitro_123:
@Odia

Any clue whether we can boot off USB or microSD or some crazy thing like that !

That opens up quite a bit of possibilities IMO :) like running BT5 natively or booting the phone off USB ...

I'm a noob in this stuff, so any help would be appreciated :)

TIA,

With U-Boot working it'ld be easier, but even with the current kernel a few changes to mounts in init.rc would be able to boot from a partition on the sdcard, although the u-boot method is much cleaner, as it could load a different kernel for either booting from the internal mmc or from external.

Hi, I thought some of you would be interested that with the 2012/07/05 leaked 4.0.4 from samfirmware it comes a new pit file, it seems this is the first pit file for the I9100 that have surfaced so far, apart from the original one.

Strangely enough this pit file named u1_02_20120326_emmc_EXT4_8GB.pit which would make the internal sdcard partition only 8 Gb. I thought there were no 8 Gb I9100 in production? Maybe they are are going to release a new I9100 variety with only 8 Gb memory?

I've seen reports from fellow spanish users that actually flashed this ROM with the new PIT file and repartitioned the device, despise of all advices against it, and found out their sdcard size was shortened to something about 8 Gb.

I compared the files and, apart from the differences in the UMS and HIDDEN partitions, surely because of the different size, they also a different bytes at the beginning, which are 00 in the original one but not in this one, I'm not sure what it is. Hope some of you who are really knowledgeable would like to take a look at this.

Pit file attached to this post, it comes from this ROM:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Odia:
Differences are:-

1. Header contains CRC

2. UMS size = 0x107400000 (4416602112)

3. HIDDEN size = 0x20000000 (536870912)

My guess is that this is for another hidden binary counter for Triangle away to no longer work. Samsung are on to Chainfires work already and they are also aware that he announced that Triangle away the last release was probably going to be his last. so this would not at all surprise me.

Youtube HD in this version also has a kernel dependency that *may* (I am not talking from any experience here?) have something to do with the pit file?

hey odia, i have an idea, can i dd the content of sbl1 partition to sbl2 just to have a backup bootloader?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] thorazine74:
Just curious, CRC for the pit file's contents? Is it Odin supposed to check for that CRC before letting you flash an invalid PIT file?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ardicli2000:
Is there a method out somewhere which looks into External sdcard first and ,if there is a kernel and/or Rom wthin it, starts it?

And of course if there is none, phone starts the Rom at eMMC.

I mean, some thing like Windows boot order:

First check Ex Sd Card, Then HDD.

Whicever has a botable media, then load it.

I wonder that.

TIA

Hi,

My SGS2 is bricked. I've already opened a post here.

I was running Slim Bean ROM (4.2.2) without any problem for more than a month.

However, few days ago it was suffering some lag and I decided to reboot.

Since then, it remains in Samsung logo screen and nothing happens.

I can access Download mode and Recovery.

Nevertheless, Recovery mode doesn't show any options so I'm not able to do a wipe or install a new ROM from there.

I've been trying anything with Odin (flashing recovery, kernel, stock firmware...) and I always get an error in NAND write Start! statement.

I discovered Heimdall last night by chance and I tried to flash a kernel with it. Didn't work.

Could you lend a hand on this? Find attached my results for "heimdall print-pit" command.

Thanks in advance,

Mario.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] celderic:
Hello, could somebody guide me as to how i would go about removing preload or drastically shrinking it, and increasing system to 1gb, i assume i would need to edit my current pit file? Or are there any others around? I am aware it is dangerous. But i want to try it out as i can get a new phone anytime if i brick my phone haha.

It sucks to learn PIT the hard way...crap!

Just learned the hard way that messing with PIT files is extremely dangerous. So I was trying to revive this original Samsung GS2 that someone had messed with before me. Phone was stuck in yellow-triangle-firmware-update mode. All ODIN flash attempts would get stuck at NAND Write Start! ZERO progress after many hours.

So I figured, well the reason it cannot write to NAND is because the partition table is messed up. So I go to last resort...I've got to flash a PIT that will allow the NAND to be properly located and updated. So, I check the Re-partition box and indicate the PIT file. FINGERS CROSSED. All indicators are GO and it's looking good.

Then ODIN status says that it's updating the partition table and gives the warning "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!"

I wait a few minutes and ... nothing! No further progress. No messages. No nothing! Is this thing stuck????? How long should this process take?

Now I'm in a quandry, if it's stuck and I can't turn off the phone, then what am I supposed to do?

Turned of the phone. Wrrrrrooooonnnngggg move! INSTANT FRIKKIN HARD BRICK. Black screen of death. Won't even turn on now.

Bye, Bye S2.

I guess the wrong move was not turning the phone off. It was using the PIT in the first place. So, Lesson learned ... the hard way. Do not muck with PIT files unless you know exactly what you're doing. PITs aren't a guessing game and you don't get a do-over!

anyone notice a click after you light press the camera button to focus? not beep that confirm it has focused, pics are fine and clear i just noticed that sound

Reduce volume to zero, quick press lock, unlock and sound should be off!

You can raise volume, then click is back, but lowering it to zero again shuts off the click again.:)

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] dee000000:
I don't get any errors when I built from his code. Maybe you just have a bad copy
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 4silvertooth:
Which version of gcc are u on? I think you should update gcc.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
git clone git://github.com/mik9/ThunderG-Kernel.git

OR I downloaded it from his repo with "Download Now" "tar.gz"
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
I download the environment from here: http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release1803
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] andy572:
do u work under windooze or linux?

i consider to use linux - on windows, the dumb cygwin environment have not

all needed includes.

if u use linux, try to take the latest android from cyanogen - there are prebuild

libs and binaries to compile both the android system and kernel.

u only have to export the path to the arm-ebi and the arch:

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=<ANDROID_INSTALLPATH>/prebuild/linux86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-

this works on my VM (virtualBox) without problems.

otherwise, try the bcm4325 tree from my github if you can compile, its a error in mik's driver tree or he have another compiler.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 4silvertooth:

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] andy572:
jre/jdk has nothing to do with kernel compiling - you need this only to compile the android system ;)

btw: try a 32bit system - i have had problems too to compile android under 64bit OS (ubuntu)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Now i creating a VM... but... on archlinux i installed 32bit library...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] andy572:
u can use a linux to your choice, you need only a working environment :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 4silvertooth:
I think you should try with google android ndk instead of codesourcery.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/ndk/index.html

Then

make -j2 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/android-ndk-PATH/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-x.x.x/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-

That error happens when you compile with -O2 flag. Here is the fix on that error so you can compile again with -O2:

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Which file did you patched?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
PATCH
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
There's not much I can do. How did you patched bfs? My kernel already has it so why adding it again? I saw you used my v14.1 in your rom.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
I add it on mik kernel (for CM7)... "patch -p0 < PATCHNAME" and the directory name is linux-2.6.32.40-bfs
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes, but there are at least two of the hunks that are not applied correctly, at least it did for me. After doing the patch -p0 command what was the output?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
One FAILED only in cpufreq.c but i add manually #include <sched.h>. i have this error with original mik kernel and with patched mik kernel.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] GonDr:
are am wrong or that is a new gb rom ?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
For the original question:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors

simply means you are compiling this with -Werror or that this flag is hardcoded in the script you are using to compile. So, simply do not do this or append -Wno-error or some Wno-error=<foo> variation of that to your CFLAGS. At least this was a warning and not fatal with gcc-4.4, and also this warning had tons of false positives (still can see some bugs about it with 4.5 even)

(No time to check out the repo so do not expect any patches from me ATM. :p)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
I try with "make -j2 -Wno-errors" but the error there is GRRR
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Well because it is supposed to be -Wno-error in the first place... :p And second, I would suggest to do this instead:

CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wno-error" make -j2
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
do you say "make -Wno-error -j2" ?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
I said append to CFLAGS, not pass to make... See above. ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
done, but there is the error. :mad:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Dook, the patch I posted previously works fine. The loop is just trying to access the array but it's out of bounds because the defined "space" for the array is smaller than the condition in the loop. And the patch fixes that.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
with the patch i've:

`dhd_module_cleanup' referenced in section `.init.text' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Eh... first of all, you need to run something like

make mrproper

or you will be using the same makefiles that have been already generated with the previous CFLAGS so what you are doing will not do any good.

Second, if that still does not work with those CFLAGS b/c your CFLAGS are ignored, then you simply have to use grep and sed to remove the hardcoded -Werror crap.

Would suggest reading something like Gentoo developer documentation. ;)

P.S. Kindly note I am still talking about the error in the first post of this thread, not about any other errors introduced by broken patching of the source code.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'll ask again, did you patched the file inside bcm4329 or inside bcm4325?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
inside bcm4325
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Go to my repo and copy the entire bcm4325 folder and replace with yours.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
With patch, CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wno-error", make mproper i can compile the kernel! Thank you guys! (:
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Good. Hopefully the WiFi will even work... :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
with android-ndk it doesn't works, but now it works! I don't hope that it works only for me :S

Hi,

If you're on Windows 7 (probably not exclusive to that Windows version) and can't get ADB to work due to not being able to find drivers that work, use the ones labelled "HTC Android USB Driver for Microsoft PC" from ht*p://developer.htc.com/ (not allowed to post a direct link due to my post count...).

Do this:

Extract the drivers to a folder;

Make sure the X1 is in debugging mode and plug the device in;

Run Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and find the "XDA" device (which should be unknown)

Double-click it, choose Update Driver and point the wizard to the folder where you extracted the drivers. Enjoy!

hi,

I have problems with syncing my pop3/imap mail accounts. It does not automatically sync every hour. I have to do it manually. Sometimes, after 4 hours or so, it might or might not automatically sync.been struggling with it to be honest.

it syncs normally for a few hours then somehow it blocks out and only works by manual syncing .

What I tried:

- Deleteing the accounts and new setup

- fresh installation of ARHD 5.1.7 (with EXT4 script)

of course I haved checked the auto update box. I do not have any problems with manual syncing.

Do you have any ideas on how to get this over with ?

Thank you.

P.S , when i go to settings>accounts&sync>mail account , i have 3 email accounts setup and the sync time is always something like from when i last manually syncd it , unlike with weather and facebook , last sync time changes according to your preferences, but with mail its not.
[Desire HD General] BillTheCat:
I think the HTC mail app is FUBAR'd. My problem is with IMAP using their app. When I send something from the phone it's not saved to my 'sent items' folder, and when I delete a message, it comes right back at the next synch.

Not sure if it's an HTC problem or an Android problem, but if they expect to be taken seriously, it really needs to be fixed. I mean, really... email isn't exactly a new technology anymore where it should be confusing to anyone with HTC's or Google's experience and resources.
[Desire HD General] Goodm7sn:
some peeps at android forums reported this too :

"Did a update to Gingerbread yesterday. I have a few imap accounts synced up with my phone which has been working perfectly.

Since the update, the phone won't check for emails after my off peak times even though its set to check every hour in off peak times. During peak, it does its job fine. Just not off peak.

Gmail is fine also."

as for the imap sent items , i didnt notice that yet (may be cos mainly i read mails lots and dont check what i send)

but for this syncing imap issue , its really serious and i never had it before with froyo.

would appreciate any help.

thx
[Desire HD General] Goodm7sn:
confirmed issue , gingerbread htc mail off peak does NOT autoupdate

i can confirm this issue after gingerbread update.

i just realized after testing that my issues been related mainly due to not updating in off peak period ! even though its set up to hourly auto updates during the off peaks. really weird.

anyway to get through that ? its very important cos we r loosing a basic functionality of our phones

thx for any help , appreciated.
