[Samsung Infuse 4G] KrisMN22:
Hi all. So I soft-bricked my Infuse installing a ROM via ROM Manager yesterday. Basically I can get it to the Samsung logo screen, no further. I can get it into download mode, but not recovery mode. I've tried using GTG's Unbrick on a Windows PC, but no matter which drivers & cables I use (and I've tried them all), I can't get the PC to recognize the Infuse in DL mode. I've given up on that one.

So now I'm trying to get Heimdall 1.3 to work on my Mac. As soon as I get the firmware loaded in Heimdall and get to the point where you click "start", Heimdall just instantly says "flash completed successfully", but nothing happens on the phone itself. So I'm thinking the Mac isn't even seeing the phone, and Heimdall is just spinning in a circle. Any thoughts on this? I've read so many threads and tried so many things in the last 24 hours...and I really don't want to send the thing to Samsung for a month. Thanks in advance!

Kris, I don't have a Mac but this may get you started.

[General Questions and Answers] powercat_:
I have a phone, an LG C660 (LG Optimus Pro)

Unfortunately, I did something stupid and didn't read enough and bought an ASIAN release, without the proper 3G band for Canada - therefore I'm stuck on EDGE mode.

I found on craigslist a local who is selling the Canadian release of the phone, the LG C660R (LG Gossip Pro)

I've customized my phone quite a bit, plus I'm sure the Canadian release has a crippled rom (probably removing Tethering, which is something I want)

Would it be posssible to COMPLETELY copy the / from one phone to another, to have an identical mirror of the phone?

Are there any special "drivers" that could make a difference between the 3g radio bands, causing issues?

Please, enlighten me!
[General Questions and Answers] st@matis:
You said its the same phone right?

If so then go to your recovery menu and make a nandroid backup of your rom

Copy the backup folder to your pc and when you get the new phone place the folder into your sdcard go to your recovery menu and restore.Thats it !
[General Questions and Answers] powercat_:
It's "pretty much" the same phone:

It has a different antenna that supports different 3g frequencies, will the firmware be compatible?

Also I don't have a recovery menu, can I just copy /system?

From xperia blog -

The alpha ROM will only work on three Xperia phones: arc S, neo V and ray. For those Xperia arc and Xperia neo users wondering whether they should try this, you are warned not to as the phones have different partition layouts compared to the arc S and neo V.

EDIT- Was meant to explain why it was only for those devices ; they prob have the same partition layout.
[Xperia Play General] IE-coRe:
But that does not mean that a dev can not change it a bit to make it work on the play correctly.

But this is great!

working well no reboots anymore
[Xperia Play General] DeanBoro:
aslong as we have no current reboots then i can work from their! :)
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
WiFi will probs be the modules (Pretty easy fix really), Data will be RIL fixes, Camera again will be modules, Sound modules again.

At least it doesn't restart now :)
[Xperia Play General] DeanBoro:
yeh ha,

the other version still does not boot for me for some reason hangs on boot animation:')
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Infact this may be fixed like my MIUI was. Compiled WiFI modules, put them in correct place. Data was fixed with some RIL framework changes. Camera was fixed with the correct modules/libaries but there was no issue with sound.

So from now on we could get a working ICS before Sony :)

Logcat Output

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Ive just been reading something on the internet where their port of android wouldnt boot (Gingerbread) with the same errors so they said to disable the audio drivers either by creating a dummy driver or entering the following:

AudiopolicyService is started in frameworks\base\media\mediaserver\main_mediaserver.cpp

int main(int argc, char** argv)

{

sp<ProcessState> proc(ProcessState::self());

sp<IServiceManager> sm = defaultServiceManager();

LOGI("ServiceManager: %p", sm.get());

AudioFlinger::instantiate();

MediaPlayerService::instantiate();

CameraService::instantiate();

AudioPolicyService::instantiate();

ProcessState::self()->startThreadPool();

IPCThreadState::self()->joinThreadPool();

}

However, creating a dummy audio driver is meant to work whilst that didnt.
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
you could steal the audio libs from emulator
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
ANother way to do it is: remove the following

service media /system/bin/mediaserver (init.rc file)

Would using the audio libs from the emulator work? To get them i need to goto system/lib in the emulator find the audio drivers and copy them to system/lib in the update.zip. (overwrite)
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
it should provided you use the files from the matchin emu version (ie 4.01 emu)
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Yes, I am taking the libaudio.so and the libaudiopolicy.so from the emulator's system.img then placing them into the correct location on the device via adb push.

Is that correct.
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
yep, you best pull all the audio* filesi n /system/lib/hw too
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Ok, doing it now

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

So in the emulator there is:

libaudioeffect_jni.so

libaudioflinger.so

*invoke_mock_media_player.so* <-- Is this related?

and then in hw there is:

audio.primary.goldfish.so

audio_policy.default.so

Copy them?
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
yep those files are right, id push the mock media just to be safe

edit: im decompiling the boot img to check something, im half wondering if theirs no media service in their to be honest
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
odex errors, thats interesting
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Ok, Applying the zip with the new libs and hw files in it now.
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
that looks like the sound hardware needs time to init to me, but the odex errors are issue as their tied to kernel so we need to deodex - working on that now
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
dexopt is normal, but the build is odexed which means its not likely to boot straight off (odex ties to kernel also)
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Ah, Ok. Are you using dsixda kitchen to deodex?
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
nope im likely gonna have to do it by hand for every file since ics isnt supported by much yet,

edit: i replaced the entire app and framework dirs with files from another device im working on and audio seems to init better
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Would this tool work?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20211295
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
will find out in a min :)
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Im running it now as well....
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
well its at least decoding some of the files :)

edit: i would expect the deodex of the sony files to crash but i aint worried about them at moment

and for reference this will be why media service is dying/not starting, as it cant access its own java data
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Ah, I get it then. So basically if we get everything deodexed then the rom should at least boot. (Even without the sony files, which most people arent bothered about, they just want it to boot.)
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
correct, obv i wasnt exppecting my push of other frameworks and apps to boot but it did help show some things :) just waiting on deodex now, its actually managing to decompile some of the sony libs too
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Deodexed finished. Do i just copy the deodexed files back to the update and flash it?
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
delete the app and framework dirs from phone then push new ones over and reboot

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

also if anyone wants it ive modified the bootimg linked a couple pages back to give full root adb : build.streakdroid.com/bootic.img
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
check your deodex framework folder some files will of been skipped. im working on converting them manually now
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Yes there is :

playstationcertified.odex

*framework-res.apk* <-- gonna push that over see if it does anything

qcrilhook.jar

qcrilhook.odex

SemcGenericUxpRes.apk

SemecGenericUxpRes.odex

semcrilextension.jar

semcrilextension.odex.

Then in app

Bluetooth.apk

bootinfo.apk

CdfInfoAccessor.apk

FmRxService.apk

IddAgenet.apk

qcsemcservice.apk

SemcCrashMonitor.apk

SemcPhone.apk

ServiceMenu.apk

with the corresponding odex files
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
yep they likely need a custom bootclasspath so didnt decompile straight away
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Also, your kernel doesn't boot. (The one with root adb..)
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
it does here im using it lol
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:

[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
I don't think there is one in the ICS build, however i think there is one in the stock rom or cm7...
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
ill check that later, its not likely to be critical to boot anyway :)

edit: got all bar 2 apps deodexed, going to grab a coffee then ill do the last two since i think their gonna be a pain (semcphone and servicemenu)
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
How easy is it to deodex an app? I might have a go at doing them two.
[Xperia Play General] DJ_Steve:
its not hard per se but finding the frameworks it needs can be a pain :) im back now so wont be long :D
[Xperia Play General] DooMLoRD:
has the device booted into OS? or still stuck at bootanimation?
[Xperia Play General] XperiaPlayer:
Doomlord -> It is stuck at bootanimation, most of the errors we have found seem to be related to the rom being odexed. DJ_Steve is working on deodexing all of the files now.
