I think this could fix the problem I had while trying to flash cm7, I don't recall the exact message but I'm pretty sure was related to not being able to mount sdcard.

I hope to solve the issue with the hdd the next week; for now I've borrowed an external disk but it's really slow and getting all the source back will require some time
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] diego-ch:
@hackbob

I've 'sucessfully' built CM7 using your sources and making a few changes.

After 4 hours of compiling process ( O_O ) using a vm, I flashed it to my phone.

The generated ROM doesn't go further than the device logo. (I was already expecting that)

but it has adb access (If you're using my kernel) so we can debug whats wrong and work to fix the issues using kmsg/dmesg and logcat.

We still need to trace the i9100 configs that need to be changed. (probably the common files made for all galaxys2 variants)

because the generated updater-script inside the built zip has code refering the i9100 partition table.

do not flash the cm7 zip right after its generated,

because it includes a boot.img that will overwrite the data partition in the i9070.

take a look at the end of the updater-script inside cm7 zip and you'll see what I'm talking about.

lets keep up the good work o/

Hope we`ll see a CM very soon for our device ...can barely wait... Keep it up guys what would we do without you Devs :beer::thumbup:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] hackbob:
Woah 4 hr build it's really a long time; luckily on my VM it takes 20 mins top.

I too have identified something strange in the update script but in my case seems is not able to mount data at the start of the update.

I'll look in too it tomorrow.

What happens if I try to flash a i9100 rom via TRWP? Will it brick?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] antonio8297:
yes,brick it because are not compatible
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] diego-ch:
yep, it will mess up the partition table.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] rhavock:
I think my battery life was shorter with this new ROM , is it possible?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mewzik86:
Galaxy Beam, i8530

Ok, I just got my galaxy beam, which I am told is the same as the galaxy s advance but with a projector. So, my queston is, do you think it is safe to flash diego-ch's kernel with TWRP?

If this works, I could be a tester for roms on this platform. We will be one step closer to getting a dedicated forum section with the galaxy s advance, galaxy ace 2 and galaxy beam.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] qzem:
Nobody really knows that for sure, we can only guess. First you need to have original firmware prepared just in case that diego's kernel wouldn work. Than if you are an adventures guy, go ahead and test it. Than report on xda if it works, so that other users will know :). What you can experiance is a boot loop. But in worst case you could brick your phone...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] varun.chitre15:
Hello all

I have successfully compiled a kernel from sources

Currently there are no changes in this and it is cloned from diego's repo and hence consists TWRP :)

I want someone to flash it and see if it boots correctly :D

Flash it using Odin

If it boots then give me a screenshot of 'about phone' section :)

Here is the link

If this succeeds to boot, I have something for you all by tomorrow or day after tomorrow :D

Kernel.tar.md5

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

I actually forgot to clean sources

Therefore maybe you will get a black screen but don't worry wait for few mins, it will boot

I am waiting for confirmation and screenshot :)

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] varun.chitre15:
Seems like you guys dont need custom ROM and kernel

The more you delay to test above kernel, the more you have to wait for my releases.

I have tried to flash your kernel but it end up like this. Sorry, I can't attached the picture

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5

<OSM> Check MD5..Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait

<OSM> MD5 hash value is invalid

<OSM> Kernel.tar.md5 is invalid

<OSM> End...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] varun.chitre15:
Ok try redownloading it and see if it persists.

Maybe your downloaded package got a problem

Anyone else too can try it and confirm?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] jhonnatancosta:
I want a rom with antonio tutorial to install and test please
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] varun.chitre15:
Should I provide a flashable zip for flashing my kernel?

I am absolutely getting zero feedback and response from you all and this way I think it will be 2013 to release my ROM & Kernel.

If this continues then maybe I have to abandon all my releases because no one seems to be interested over here and as I dont have this phone its impossible for me to proceed further

Now it depends on you all or I am good to leave this thread :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] alychang:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] varun.chitre15:

Unpack the tar and flash it using dd with adb shell or terminal emulator.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] metalhead2791:
Am a major noob here.. How exactly do i go about it please?

If you lemme know, i can post the results asap :D
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] varun.chitre15:
Ok I am posting a flashable zip in few mins :)

Just flash that in TWRP :)

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

Well a power cut here, here is manual method

Download and install terminal emulator app.

Extract the tar in your sd card

Open it and type

su

and press enter and grant superuser perms

Then type

dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

and press enter.

P.s: here kernel.bin.md5 refers to name by which you extracted the file, modify it as per the name if you renamed my kernel. Then type

reboot

Your phone will reboot after this and now just see if it boots or not

If it gives black screen then still wait for 5 min and see if it boots

If it boots then provide me a screenshot of about phone section in settings in my inbox :)

If it doesnt boot then reflash diego's kernel via Odin, it will boot.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] mathei:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] diego-ch:
same here. this kernel also wont mount the j4fs partition.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] varun.chitre15:
Did your kernel succeed to mount it?

(I used your repo with few changes in defconfig, so if your kernel succeeds to mount then mine too should right?)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] diego-ch:
the kernel I released is working fine.. even mounting the j4fs partition.

I've made a few changes on my github repo. you should update your sources

wow...that was unexpected. it would be great! but do we have enough ram in the galaxy s advance for that?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] hackbob:
Even the TMobile G2 have enough ram to run JB as smooth as ICS and the SAdvance is WAY better than the G2 in all the HW specs.

I see no prob in running stock JB and even if stock can be not so smooth I can really see us or even more experienced devs optimizing the code and build a better rom

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] diego-ch:
Power up in stock recovery and wipe data/cache
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] diego-ch:
I didnt change much

updated .ko modules to match the ones on my kernel.

edited the recovery.fstab: this should match this

<bool name="has_led_flash">false</bool> here should be set to true.

most of the problems were a few libs that needed to be installed.

but as I remeber, the ones listed on this two websites fixed the problem.

Cyanogenmod Wiki and RootzWiki

watch out for libncurses5-dev:i386 and libreadline6-dev:i386, I guess those two were missing.

oh, and your vm needs to have its memory set to 1.5GB or more... otherwise the build process will fail.

post your error log, maybe I could remeber something.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] hackbob:
Thx diego for the infos.

Updated the sources and build again, but no luck:confused:

In attach the error while flashing.

Checked the libraries: everything fine

Hw: 5gb disk free SSD, 6GB Ram, 6x2.2Ghz processor

Even re-syncked source from cm7 and added my mods again.

I think I'll create a dedicated topic, hopefully someone with experience will take a liking to our work/device and help us out
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] diego-ch:
check the updater-script inside the zip file. you need to fix the /data path because it is set to the i9100.

and remember to remove the boot.img because it will format /data with a zImage

I'm taking a look at the board config files from jellybean branch (for the i9100)

seems easier to port the board config using those files as they seem to be cleaner.

I think we should contact the galaxy ace2 and galaxy beam devs (if there's any), as these devices have similar boards.

they have the same u8500 cpu, right? (the ace2 cpu is underclocked)

and maybe you noticed, there is quite a few hints from those devices inside samsung's source code for our device.

we could try to write the board configs for these devices the same way it is written for all SGS2 variants

creating a folder like u8500-common or something...

what do you think?

i've seen less progress in device specific forums than on the few topics related to galaxy s advance...all the fellas here are doing a GREAT JOB, and it won't be long for a few more custom roms to come up. they are trying to porm cm7 for god's sake...

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] diego-ch:
nice find...

as the i9100 uses exynos SoC and the advance/ace2/beam use stericsson U8500

I'm starting to think that we should base our device config files on these repos instead of the i9100 ( or at least take a good look at them )

kernel: CyanogenMod/sony-kernel-u8500

common: CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_montblanc-common

device: CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_nypon (this one could be any sony device ste u8500 based)

what do you guys think? those are already made for CM9

more info on the stericsson u8500 soc: http://stericsson.com/products/u8500-novathor.jsp

for those wondering if the jellybean rumor is true: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY0TU4O15yE

stericsson already posted a video of it running on the same platform we have, and is very recent.. (from 3 weeks ago...)

so I think its true...

Ok here is the logcat, when my phone reboots. I think that it rebootes cause there must be something with the modules in the original intramfs or drivers, that are different that supposed to be in new kernel.

No problem, extract initramfs from my kernel2.bin.md5. And copy sbin and tmp folder into your initramfs. Than add this lines in the init.rc.

user root

Check with my init.rc where I have put this. It is more at end of a file. Then recompile kernel with those initramfs. I assume you know how to do that?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Android Development] kilsmap:
i see.. but where do you find the install_su.sh script? and i planned to include busybox with it... maybe you can improve your kernel by including busybox as well...
