I build modules like this

cd ~/Android/Build/kernel-msm
ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/Android/Build/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- make menuconfig

Then when menuconfig comes, search module and instead of Y or N, press M and then save. It will build .ko file.

Are you electronical engineer?. Nice to see some people like me here :).

Btw, if you can get arduino any wireless communication between arduino and Android, it will be so cool (I did some time ago with BT).

Cyanogen uses different kernel

::DYes I am an EE at UCLA

I tried changing the menuconfig. When I set it in

~/android/system/kernel/samsung/smdk4210$ make menuconfig ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILER=/opt/arm-eabi-

It changes the ftdi_sio to be a module, but then

. build/envsetup samsung kernel

it ignores that .config file

If I change the .config in

~/android/system/kernel/samsung/smdk4210/build/galaxys2/

and then run the cyanogenmod build command, it resets my config file.

Compiling using

~/android/system/kernel/samsung/smdk4210$ make SUBDIRS=drivers/usb/serial ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILER=opt/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-

Compiles the modules, but when I try to

insmod ftdi_sio.ko

I get

ftdi_sio: version magic '3.0.15+ mod_unload modversions ARMv5 ' should be '3.0.15-CM-ge1bddfe-dirty SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 p2v8 '

I also get this warning when I compile them using make

WARNING: Symbol version dump /home/stoyan/android/system/kernel/samsung/smdk4210/Module.symvers
is missing; modules will have no dependencies and modversions.

How do I compile this module right? Any suggestions?

Hi all,

I'm on stock, unrooted ICS on my TF101 and I'm having trouble pairing bluetooth headsets.

I've tried two different headsets and I'm specifically trying a Motorola S305 right now.

What happens is that it appears to pair for a second (moves from Available Devices to Paired Devices), but then moves right back to Available devices.

I've tried making my TF101 visible at the time of pairing and that didn't seem to help.

Anyone have any info on how to get around this?

I was able to pair a PS3 controller, but did that by plugging it directly into the tablet and it paired that way.

Thanks for any info.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrongOne:
Hi all,

New to forums and to android in general. Wanted to ask a quick question about flashing through CWM. I am on a Galaxy Nexus, running 4.0.1 (ITL41F), on Telus, in Canada.

I used the Gnex toolkit for root/cwm flash. Initially I had tried 5.4 but I couldnt get into recovery mode; the device would briefly show the (unlocked) google screen, and then hang at what I can only assume is an android error screen (android on its back, front panel open with red arrow pointing up?) before rebooting. After that initial CWM install and recovery mode issue, I was experiencing some random restarts and some freezes on my unlock screen. I resolved to try Gnex 5.5, installing that version of CWM and it allowed a problem free boot into recovery.

I have since flashed AOKP (Milestone 3/Maguro) and the install was smooth. However, after rebooting out of recovery mode my device is hanging on the team kang boot logo screen. It's still animated and I assume the first boot after an install will take a considerable amount of time for configuration/etc....but its been about 25min.

My question, then, is should I wait longer? Or does this length of time indicate a problem with the install?

Thank you in advance for any help.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrongOne:
Should I be pulling battery to boot? or will holding power turn it off without causing issues from this boot screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
Hi and welcome :)

That is no error screen but the stock recovery screen. If you push vol up + vol down +power button again you see the options of stock recovery.

25 minutes is way to long. Dit you wipe data cache and dalvic cache before flashing the AOKP ROM?

GR36 beat me to it :D

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

None of the above. Scroll through the options with your volume buttons and choose the right one with the power button (in recovery that is)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wrongOne:
Sorry, I wasn't particularly clear about my current status.

The device is currently hanging at the team kang loading screen with the animated logo. In order to get into fastboot/recovery I will need to shut down. Is this best accomplished by pulling the battery at this point?

Thanks for the quick responses!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:

This thread is irrelevant to itself (if that's a thing). This is the development section so this should probably be in the general section.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UniqueNate:
I personally highly doubt that there is a huge differ in performance increase from the already leaked build for CDMA version and the newly pushed out one. Some of the increased performances that are said it has I experience with the already leaked build. The camera is faster opening. The rotation is much faster. I don't experience any bugs.

When we actually get the official one you can bet I will put that on here and root it so I can benefit from overclocking and underclocking (good battery life)

[LG Nitro HD] SolusCado:
:) I know; who'd have thought?
[LG Nitro HD] PMad:
This isnt the exact same one i purchased, but it looks extremely similar to it. The padded arms that hold the sides or the top and bottom (you can rotate it while its mounted) are individually adjustable so its easy to position them out of the way of buttons while leaving the buttons fully accessible, and the phone secured perfectly.

It comes with two attachments, one allows you to hook it to your heater vents and the other is the window mount.

The window mount is not very long, but very sturdy! This is what i currently use in my car. The vent mount is very nice and sturdy, but it seems its meant to permanently attach to the vents. I first tried to use it since it keeps it out of my window area, but because of the way my vents are setup in my car, it pointed the phone in a bad direction and there's no left-right adjustments that you can do other than the normal movement from the room available from the clips, so upon trying to correct it, the two mounting clips broke and its no longer usable.

Either way, it works out perfect! But again, the one listed is only close to the one i purchased. I picked that one to list though because its from radio shack, where i purchased mine. I went out to the car and there's not a single branding label on it anywhere! crazy..

[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Namuna, have u or anybody else here tried the modified binder clip? I'm currently trying to make one, but I realize that the "arms" seem to be a bit too short to hold it in place. Either it will slip of the top arm or the bottom one every now and then. I've curved them slightly more upwards to give it more of a hold, but it doesn't seem to wanna hold. I wonder if we replace the body of the binder clip with a smaller one and just use the longer arms whether it will work better?

996gt2, would you mind posting a pic or two to show how it looks with yours? Mine just seems to barely hold it, and constantly slips off the arms.

I've found that the Garmin Nuvi 200 mounts like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Windscr...ers_Mounts&hash=item3a6b7428f1#ht_1996wt_1163 work great with no modification with my body glove dimensions case on, easy to slip the phone in and out of it.

I've also used this same mount on my previous phones with slight modifications (Motorola Photon 4g and Samsung Captivate) which involves using a lighter to melt the sides to the right size.

Also this one looks like it would do the trick http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-ORI...ers_Mounts&hash=item1c2690c51d#ht_11995wt_905

So r u currently using that very Garmin nuvi mount? And it holds the phone nicely and stably? I find that sometimes these mounts lean sideways when I have both power n 3.5mm jack plugged in. If u r using the mount pls take a pic of the phone in the mount so I can see how well it holds it. For that price, if it works well, I'd rather go with that. I'm spending way more already with the DIY mount clip lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ds1904.ds:
I understand that this may have been asked, and I've been looking at similar threads, but I'm having a hard time finding a direct answer, so I apologize.

I have some experience rooting with an Atrix, but I just got this phone two days ago, this morning I used the 1-click method from rootwhiz to install the ICS leak. No problems having it run at all. I need to know, directly, did this install change my bootloader and change the binary count? I can't remember if I saw anytime of yellow triangle as people talk about. If it changed the bootloader what is there a safe method to return to the older bootloaders, and or do I even need to do so to root and install other roms?

I know that the Atrix had some problems in terms of returning to prior versions of things, and in my research I haven't found a direct answer to this question too.

Basically, did my bootloader change? Can I root using the heimdall method I keep seeing about safely? What would be the best way to root and install custom roms, neglecting the binary counter if I can get a jig or something?

Forgive me again for asking, I just need to have better answers before I try anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Are you asking for info for your Atrix or SGS2 device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ds1904.ds:
Sorry, I am asking about the SGS2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D3M3NT3D_L0RD:
If you used the 1-Click method, yes. Your bootloaders are changed. Wouldve been much better to use the Heimdall method or just root your phone then flash the Leak ROM that task650 and Fenny made. As far as reverting bootloaders to stock, thats out of my range of knowledge. Im sure there is a way to do it though.

EDIT: For rooting, best way is to be on stock 2.3.4 and use the Zergrush exploit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
I've seen you're using the past tense a lot, I thought you already DID.

Anyway, for rooting and installing custom ROM, follow this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311081

I can't pinpoint exactly what to do since having no info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ds1904.ds:
Thanks for the answers so far, now that I know my bootloaders have been changed I need to figure out how to either change back / and how to safely root. I may just have to wait it out I think though, no problem with that really, working just fine now. And never use the alarm :)

For clarification, my rooting experience is limited to the Atrix, the SGS2 is new as of Monday, and I am having trouble sifting through information. What I've learned so far is that maybe it was a little hasty to install the ICS leak the way I did. Prior to the ICS leak there was nothing changed on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] highaltitude:
You're going to have to get some experience with ODIN. Here is the bootloader you'll want to flash back to, however, then you'll probably need to flash a kernel with CWM (clock work mod) and then boot into cwm to flash a rom such as Tasks stock ICS leak. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316726
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ds1904.ds:
So if I follow correctly the ICS leak I installed added newer bootloaders that prevent jigging in the future if it was needed. My two options are apparently to use the method that bypasses the counter, which was posted, or to use ODIN and flash the older bootloader, but this can be dangerous if done incorrectly.

The danger of bricking scares me a little, but I successfully used RSD Lite to unlock the bootloader on my Atrix, don't know if it's similar. Perhaps I should take the Atrix and attempt to install an older bootloader on it to get a feel for things? I figure that it wouldn't make much of a difference however...

I figured out that even though I have a newer bootloader now I still have a 0 for the binary counter, as the leak is considered a samsung official release, of course I don't know how that would effect any given warranty.

So, I still feel that these following questions are unanswered, I apologize if I am not understanding correctly:

1. Is it safe for me to root with the heimdall method even with the newer bootloaders

2. Is it safe for me to install custom roms without reverting the bootloader, as long as I am using the bypass method to prevent my counter from changing?

3. What is the exact risk to flashing the older bootloader, and what precautions should I take before doing so? If I flash the older bootloader without reverting to stock firmware will that cause a brick? Or is the risk just associated with fudging up the process of the flash itself, and hoping that the connection doesn't get cut (on that note, the phone, usb cord, and computer I'm using are all less than 4 months old, so that risk doesn't concern me a whole lote).

Sorry if these are stupid questions, I hope I am asking good enough questions to help others out in the future :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ds1904.ds:
After some more reading, here's another question as well:

Does the SGS2 technically have an unlocked bootloader already? It just counts how many times you install non samsung firmware?

Also just so I know that I'm not wrong, are Kernal, Firmware, and "Roms" all the same thing? How can you tell if a "package" or "rom" comes with bootloaders, as this is something I apparently am supposed to avoid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D3M3NT3D_L0RD:
Dont believe you can root since you already flashed it with ODIN 1-Click

You cannot install custom ROM's because you dont have CWM.

Really not sure on these questions. Any takers?

No; Only download mode (Odin/Heimdall) flashes trigger changes to the warning screen.

Kernel is a set of drivers that tells the hardware what to do. Firmware is like a new base. (XXLPQ, DXLP7 etc.) A ROM is the whole package.

Please if I missed anything or am incorrect about some/all of this, somebody correct me. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ds1904.ds:
Okay I think I'm starting to figure this out. I downgraded to 2.3.4 using an unroot/stock method I found, using odin and it worked. It would not accept the OTA update however, but I believe this is due to the ULCL2 baseband? Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Now I am going to use method 2c found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1311081

to root and restore to the other baseband, which also happens to be the one that's best for my area I believe. From there, I can install CWM using one of the 31-c methods, and use CWM to install custom roms as long as they don't have bootloaders, correct? Or does it not matter if the packages have bootloaders.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, I don't want to ruin anything here. I think it's safe to install the files that come from the 2c method but wont be doing anything else until I know it's safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D3M3NT3D_L0RD:
Should be fine. NONE of the ROMs you find on the I777 boards in Ported or Original will have bootloaders so no worries. And yes after root use Mobile ODIN to install a zImage which will give you CWM. Highly recommend Siyah 2.6.14. Please stick to just trying some GB ROM's and get the hang of making nandroids etc before moving on the ICS ROM's.
