Good news!

The kernel source of a phone (alcatel 918D) with mt6573 was released.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/

How difficult could be to port all compiled drivers (modules) from the original kernel to the alcatel kernel source? I am very interested on adding swap support to my rom. I would really appreciate an approximate roadmap.

Thanks in advance...

TUN/TAP Support Successful.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rr4m:
Yessss!!! Glad to hear you managed to do it, banjo :good:

Please, share your tun.ko module!

Does it work stable? No sudden disconnects?

I've also compiled tun.ko for 2.6.35.7 kernel, adding debug messages in every function in tun.c like this:

printk(KERN_INFO "tun: Entered tun_set_iff function\n");

ssleep(5);

But as far as openvpn starts to connect, it walks tun.ko code for a while (5-6 functions) and then the phone reboots. Before that moment I can see my debug messages via 'cat /proc/kmsg', but I never was lucky to connect...

So, what we were missing? :confused:

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] banjo0917:
TUN.KO

Here is my compiled tun.ko.

It works stable and no sudden disconnects.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rr4m:
You're a magician, banjo! Works like a charm! :victory:

Can you please tell few words about your environment?

default kernel from Alcatel 918D + default mediatek_config + arm-none-eabi- cross-compiler? Or you made your changes to the kernel code to build that tun.ko?

btw I noticed, there's no "../mediatek/build/kernel/" branch in alcatel's sources, so probably we can build only custom modules, not the whole kernel...

Thanks a lot!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] banjo0917:
You must manually rebuild/modify the 'makefile' and 'kconfigs' files inorder to match that of the mt6573 platform since there is no ../mediatek/build/kernel/ folder in the source.

My cross-compiler is from my spica kernel tree.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myphoneuser:
Banjo were you able to compile a new kernel for your mt6573 device with the environment you described?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myphoneuser:
Was somebody able to compile a new kernel for mt6573?

Thanks...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] casacristo:
I would suggest you start by trying to compile a kernel for your running linux, there are plenty of tutorials on the ubuntu forums

Once you have done that you can explore the crosscompiler world...

I just bought a HTC clone, a G21 / X315e phone with 4.7" screen, MT6573, claims to be running Android Version 4.0.6 (yeah right). Brand HTC G21 Dual CoreID GRK39F. Fingerprint qishang73_gb.

Any ideas where to get a custom ROM? I've been told I can never get a "real" ICS for a MT6573, why is that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] casacristo:
What kernel version is it running?

Real ICS needs a minimum of 512MB of RAM (1024 is better)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] balamu96m:
source ???

ICS doesn't have any specific hardware specifications............

Well, is this the MediaTek source: https://bitbucket.org/tifan/mtk/src ????

This has been uploaded by Alex Zhang.

No info about the processor is available there. Is that some source ??? :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] amnesia-dualsim:
That's seem to be for phones based in java, like mt6235, isn't for android platform, i'm sure.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] seahorsepip:
So I guess next plan is a ics compatible kernel that runs on the mtk6573/6513?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] myphoneuser:
Is this not the kernel source for a mt6573 phone (alcatel 918D)?

We could start from there...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/

Please take a look...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] balamu96m:
ICS or JB requires linux kernel version 3.0+ for it to be fully functional. So we need the kernel source and drivers from MediaTek.

One thing that can be done is to buy the buy sorce code like other OEM. But it is not easy to spend that much!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] militantmind:
not all ICS have a 3.0+ kernel, for example Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman ICS. Kernel Version 2.6.32.59
[Miscellaneous Android Development] balamu96m:

cifs.ko for MTK6573

Hello,

Finally I figured out the kernel configs to get the modules compiled correctly. Cifs samba mount is now working on the MTK6573 platform. Tested on Micromax A78 (vermagic=2.6.35.7 preempt mod_unload ARMv6)

http://prometheus4.com/share/android/mtk6573/cifs.ko

Please say Thanks if this is useful for you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerry9871:
how to compile kernel modules

Ok so here is a guide to compile kernel modules for the MTK6573 without /arch/mediatek/build/kernel/ sources.

1. setup a toolchain (use google for help), on debian that was:

apt-get install gcc-4.4-arm-linux-gnueabi

and maybe some more tweaks...

2. add some system variables needed by make

export ARCH = "arm"
export CROSS_COMPILE = "/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-"

3. get your kernel sources and unpack it. The version should match actual version of your Android. (If your version is the same as one of in Alcatel archives, you may probably unpack their archive directly and skip the next step.) For my Micromax A78 that was from here:

http://code.google.com/p/minidevs/d...inux-2.6.35.7-android-2011-09-30.tgz&can=2&q=

4. get .config file from a working MTK6573 sources. One can be found in the Alcatel archives. For example:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/alcatel/files/OT_918D_20120608.tar.xz/download

you can also try another versions. Copy that file into your unpacked kernel sources (replace the existing one).

5. Enter the unpacked sources. Since there's no mediatek arch src (was not released as far as I know), the trick is to manually select another similar architecture:

make oldconfig

This command will parse the existing .config file (the one you copied from Alcatel sources) and prompt only for settings that are in conflict with current sources. Select "Qualcomm MSM, Qualcomm MSM SoC Type MSM7x00A/MSM7x01A)" as target. This ARMv6 target is similar enough to MTK6573 (at least for the modules to work correctly). The correct target config can also be done manualy by editing Kconfigs and makefiles, but this is the easy way. Left all the other setting on their defaults (press Enter...)

6. Select parts of system you want to compile as a module in the menu:

make menuconfig

for me that was File systems/Network File Systems/CIFS support. Select <M> for module.

7. Compile your kernel

make

or only the module

make M=fs/cifs

8. Enjoy :)

Everything is at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damages to your device.

I‘ve managed to compile Alcatel OT918D kernel , but I can‘t boot it for some unknown reason, usualy it ends up in a bootloop or hanging on the android logo, i‘ve tried even adding the header with dd and even using mkimage, but still , no success .

Anyone who knows how to go about this problem ? , i‘m tired :( but I won‘t give up trying untill it works.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kenkitt:
Finally it worked ! --here is my config !

# Automatically generated make config: don't edit

# Linux kernel version: 2.6.35.7

# Tue Dec 16 15:53:27 2014

Well, I had to download the entire ALPS build environment.

Then download your devices kernel and build it using build.sh , after configuring the environment in the kernel dir.

Afterwards copy the generated kernel...bin file into the baoxue_mytqe-master/kernel/ dir and rename it to kernel_baoxue.bin

then run

./target_build bootimage

you will get your boot.img in /baoxue_mytqe-master/out/target/product/baoxue/boot.image

that's all, I did , but i'll have to look into it deeply to understand what is going on.

Any am a little dissappointed that nobody showed how to do this, or even offered to help. :(

But I guess the best way is the hardway , compiling it a hundred times, only to figure out that arm-android-eabi doesn't work I found this after trying the original arm-eabi-

But now am :) :D
[HTC EVO 3D] dzap:
Well let me say..I haven't worried at all about bootloaders since I've declined all OTA updates pretty much and have flashed stock ROMs, radios, etc. from XDA only.

Anyway it's an ENG (Engineering) bootloader with extended fastboot commands.

List here.

http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach.../2/8/8/7/EVO3D_Extended_Fastboot_Commands.txt

..I have used practically none of those..but I don't know if they would be useful to some developer for..something.

It's from this old thread here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192306

Anyone have any input if this has any value to anyone (since I know a lot of HBOOT 1.5 owners are feeling the pain)? Just curious.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Capitalism relies on two simple market principles: supply and demand. You're already indicating there isn't very much supply be hinting at the hboot 1.5 owners who aren't able to duplicate this process and load the eng hboot.

The second part of this equation would be the demand. Demand remains to be seen how much demand there is at different price points.

I think there is a XDA board for posting devices for sale. A post up there would probably help give you a rough gauage for the current demand at specific pricing points for this type of device.

Another method to feel out the demand would be to post on either eBay or Swappa. Those two markets would also allow you to see current demand at specific price points.

For the average user, I don't think the eng hboot adds *significant* value over the HTC unlock method. This is definitely a niche market though and as such, it sometimes only takes one person who reallly wants it and is willing to pay.

Hope that helps fill in a few gaps!
[HTC EVO 3D] dzap:
Thanks joeykrim. Yeah I took Econ 101..I know how supply and demand works. :DThis is mostly a niche market. Trust me..I would have updated my HBOOT a long time ago if I felt it wasn't worth anything.

I just want to sell it to a developer (even if I fell it's at a loss), if I feel it may help them crack HBOOT 1.5 for any reason whatsoever.

I know about 99.9% of regular people do not care. Which is why I posted here hoping some developer might be interested in some way,

I'm absolutely in no immediate rush to sell my phone since it's value has tanked significantly in a 6-month period of ownership. So if anyone finds this thread a couple months down the path...then PM me and I might still have it for you. I'd only rather sell it at a loss if I knew it would be put to good use.

Also seems the extended fastboot link may have been disabled..so here's it is C&P...

Sign up for a free pogoplug account, download it's app for your phone and set it to backup everything on your phone's gallery.

That should do it. If you have other files to save just connect your phone to your pc via usb and save them there.

I soft-bricked my rocket last week by modding an active framework file... at the time I did not have CWM recovery installed.. only stock 3e recovery. So I wiped phone, put on CWM, flashed ROM of my choice, and my flash counter is still 0. If you're concerned about the flash-counter, all you have to do is completely wipe phone, use Odin to flash just the Clockwork recovery tar, then use CWM to flash the ROM zip of your choice. Check the Development section... I used seanzscreams method to wipe phone ["Mod-FC-Fix"] and you can peruse the Dev section for the ROM you want (but has to be zip flashable so CWM can flash it). Using Odin to flash the boot.img (Kernel) seems to trip the counter.
