As far as I know, Sony passes all important parameters via kernel ATAGs, not command line.
[Android Software Development] OmarBizreh:
I'm sorry I wasn't clear in the previous comment, here is what Sony mentioned:

I'm sorry I went out of subject but I was using tools like yours to get zRam from other boot.img file.
[Android Software Development] fivefour:
Very nice tool, thanks for sharing.
[Android Software Development] kuisma:
unmkbootimg as of version 1.2 now supports embedded boot images, e.g. a boot image embedded deep in an update.img file.
[Android Software Development] fivefour:
Thanks for the update, very cool feature.

Could you check why I Can not extract zImage from this Kernel:

[Android Software Development] kuisma:
It's because it's not an Android boot image, but a Rockchip specific kernel image file.
[Android Software Development] jeevas.v:
Hi, could you please post the source here or upload in github or similar and provide the link. That will be much better.
[Android Software Development] kuisma:
Why? It's a trivial hack, and if you're a programmer, you'll put one together in minutes anyway.

So, no.
[Android Software Development] jeevas.v:
That is very bad and unethical. It is not a question of I or somebody can do it. Even it violates many things by saying no. What a pathetic situation.
[Android Software Development] kuisma:
Say what? I'm providing the community a useful software for free - and you blame me for being unethical? :laugh:
[Android Software Development] jeevas.v:
I'm saying that you are using Foss as you like and hesitating to publish even a trivial change that you made. How can the community trust your binaries unless they don't have the source. What kind of mindset is that? Have you ever read GPL?

What do you think you are doing? Social service the Microsoft way? What a joke!
[Android Software Development] kuisma:
GPL? My code is written from scratch, and is not a subject of GPL whatsoever.

You, my friend, are making a fool of your self. Please, don't let me hinder you. ;)
[Android Software Development] jeevas.v:
I am trying to spread the awareness against the closed source behaviour and I hope I achieved that in whatever miniscule way.

I don't care about your binary or code but thought of asking you to know if you are intentionally not giving the source by giving just the 32bit binaries. Anyway so now everyone knows...:)
[Android Software Development] mafamafa:
how to build Rockchip specific kernel image file?

Can you tell how to build Rockchip specific kernel image file - or where to loog for that information?

I have no idea whatsoever how Rocketchip manages its boot images.

What a strange thing to say. No programmer in the world knows all languages. Also, why should each person rewrite something that already seams to be working? What if Google, CyanogenMod and everyone else said the same. How much fun we would have with our Android devices then.

**Censured by myself
[Android Software Development] kuisma:
Ok then. Any moderator, please remote this thread.
[Android Software Development] dk_zero-cool:
Your wish is my commad ;)

Just a shame, it seamed like a good project, and the real reason I visited, was to see if there was a source in order to get it built for Arm. But with the attitude you provide, not just the closed source part, but also your arguments and tone towards the people who ask, I am glad that we have other similar projects with more helpful developers behind them.

Remember, there is a reason why people in here likes Sony a lot better than Samsung and HTC
[Android Software Development] fivefour:
Closed source free software is OK, geez.

I would gamble 90 percent of the Android applications in the Play Store provide no source yet use bits of OSS software and contributions from stackoverflow.

Ease up on the OP please.

[Android Software Development] fivefour:
Try running 'strace unmkbootimg' and see if the last few lines give you an indication of what is failing.
[Android Software Development] robcore:
All due respect to everyone involved, but the op has as much of a right to post closed-source programs as do the countless playstore app developers, or anyone else who creates originally coded software. GPL would only be relevant if the software was published under it, or if the software used code from any gpl-licensed sources.

Legally and ethically, the op is perfectly within his rights.
[Android Software Development] tigrone:
I was wondering now, I am getting a warning :

This image is built using NON-standard mkbootimg!

OFF_RAMDISK_ADDR is 0x02000000

Please modify mkbootimg.c using the above values to build your image.

but now I would like to know how I can possibly change this c file if there is no source code available ?

Or doesn't this have any influence on the process ?

[Android Software Development] jjchico:
Hi!

Those concerned about using closed-source system software (as I am) may try abootimg written by Gilles Grandou:

- Handles packing and unpacking boot images (no need for mkbootimg either).

- Can do kernel/initrd updates on an image.

- Includes convenient initrd packing/unpacking scripts.

- Free (GPL) software, public source repository.

- Already included in Debian/Ubuntu (just one apt-get away)

Debian/Ubuntu install:

$ sudo apt-get install abootimg

Source code repository:

https://gitorious.org/ac100/abootimg
[Android Software Development] cloooned:
Thanks alot, thats what I was looking for. Works way better than mkbootimg, especially for stock boot images.
[Android Software Development] :
Screw asking for the resource. I'll just hack away at it and provide the source myself :)

Technology is awesome like that lol.
[Android Software Development] :
Got something a little more proficient. See my signature. Both, unmkbootimg and mkbootimg, utilities can be performed on an android without the need of a computer. :)

I made a script that will decompress the boot.img but I cannot compress it again so that it boots :/ any idea if this is possible with unmkbootimg?
[Android Software Development] :
Yes it is if you compile the source as needed however, this guy hasn't logged in for some time now and prior to that he made it clear that he didn't want to release the source. However, there are other utilities which are open source that do the job just as efficiently.
[Android Software Development] niabi:
Thanks! I since found out how to pack my boot.img to work on my device, turns out I needed a special mkimage version.

but I am curoius as to what other utilities work for this kind of boot.img, care to share names?

Thanks for the reply!
[Android Software Development] fivefour:
I guess they are talking about abootimg
[Android Software Development] niabi:
Thanks I had already tried that, this was my result:

abootimg -i boot.img
boot.img: no Android Magic Value
boot.img: not a valid Android Boot Image.

unless I am missing something?

these are not standard boot.img, amlogic decided to use a weird one I guess.
[Android Software Development] fivefour:
If you can find the source to your ROM maybe you can get the correct entry point to rebuild mkbootimg.
[Android Software Development] niabi:
Thanks that seems out of my league at the moment, but I will start searching on how to do this :)

Removed by me :)

I consider this thread and it's closed source expired now lol.

Enjoy.

[Android Software Development] geoeducativa:
I have a doubt, if someone who really knows can clear it.

when unpack boot.img

these files are obtained:

boot.img-base

boot.img-cmdline

boot.img-pagesize

boot.img-ramdisk.gz ----> ramdisk

boot.img-zImage ----------> kernel

since I want to export this model to work in a rom like: ubports or LineageOS

How do I need the kernel source code?

it should be extracted from this file: boot.img-zImage

or is it the one that is obtained when unzipping this: boot.img-ramdisk.gz

someone who has experience could guide me.
[Android Software Development] newslettermakeman:
zImage is the kernel

you just use that + the ramdisk too

second this, as long as its not a bulky otterbox. TPU silicone and hard cases should work fine. They also supply little pieces of foam so if your phone is at an angle, you can straighten it out. You'll see what i mean if you get one.

holds any phone, so it came in handy for me. also they have excellent customer support. mine broke when my daughter knocked it off the counter with my phone in it and they sent me a replacement for free
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
I think the one that Sprint sells is the closest you'll get to OEM from HTC. Unfortunately, I've ONLY been able to find it in stores and on Sprint's website. Finding it on any other website or eBay is pretty much impossible to find a better price. I like keeping everything OEM, so I'll probably get it when I'm really going to need it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] syaoran68:
the one sold by sprint is made from a company called ibolt. They make a generic car dock for the oneX that fits the LTE and the oneX.

http://www.amazon.com/iBolt-Vehicle...?ie=UTF8&qid=1347487055&sr=8-3&keywords=ibolt

that is the one that i'm using right now. works great and its the same price at sprint. i just bought it off of amazon because i had a $50 Amazon gift card so i basically got it for free. :)

They have window suction and other ones of you don't want the dash version. Best of all, they're mostly under $20.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamfreak:
I ordered an iBolt from Amazon and you can (optional) use it with or without case. All you have to do is remove a piece of plastic from the mount and it fits with case. Its a very sturdy and flexible mount and I recommended it. I think I paid around $25-30. There are cheaper ones out there but you get what you paid for...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scott_0:
I took a trip to the local Sprint store this morning and picked up their car dock and I must say, Im damn impressed at the quality! kind of whack that it doesnt include a charge cable but it is a nice piece for sure. I hightly recommend it :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leo662:
I just got the iBolt version from thecellguru.com & love it so far. $27 after shipping (no tax for those in states that care). Cheapest I was able to find anywhere online (even eBay). They only have it under the OneX compatibility section (probably because that's what it says on the box), but I can attest that it works fine with the EvoLTE. Oh, and no I do not work for them...just dropping a tip to save everyone some $ on a decent accessory.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
I've been looking at the ibolt. Has anyone used it with an otterbox commuter case? The reviews and description say it can be used with a case, but otterbox has a flap covering the usb port so I don't know how it would work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
I wish they would make one like I had for the og evo. With the cone shaped base and the thin chrome post with ball on each end, and thin minimal plastic clip holding the phone. All so neat and trim. I hate the big boat shape tray on the sprint/ibolt one, especially since my phone has no case, that boat shape is way bigger than the phone and looks ugly. Also the big fat hold-down clip on the top. Ugh.. it all blocks so much more window view than necessary. And of course the blue charging light, yet another unnecessary light on my dash at night.

But it holds the phone securely, charges, and provides a good landscape gps and media player.

I'll have to dig up a pic of my old og evo setup to show what I mean. I think the dock was actually for the hero but it worked on the og evo with a tiny hack just trimming away a small bit of plastic. Looked a hundred times better than the sprint/ibolt. This was definitely one downgrade from upgrading from og evo to evo lte.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
Oh yeah plus you could turn it portrait or landscape any time and it looked good both ways.

I wish they would make THIS for the evo lte.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cmonsterf50:

Mountek nGroove Universal CD Slot Mount (Black)

Installed on my car:

The cellphone mount can tilt up and down.

You can also tighten how stiff the up and down movement so that it doesnt easily move up or down.

You can also move the phone to either vertical or horizontal position without removing the phone or adjusting anything.

It does not damage the cd player in any way shape or form.

The actual mount which is inside the cd player is very stiff and strong.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
I pretty much need any car mount to charge since I'm in the car a lot and worse than that I'm using the phone a lot the whole time, for bluetooth, audiobooks, music, and of course gps which is a huge power suck.

And since it's possible, I don't see why I should have to look at cables either.

I routed the charge cable inside the dash as much as possible so no wires show anywhere. Nothing hanging out of the lighter socket either. Used an add-a-circuit to tap a fuse in the fuse panel. It's not always feasible of course but at least on your own car if you now you're going to have it a while.

Standards man!

Now if only the sprint/ibolt dock itself were a little smaller and less ugly...

My gf can't drive stick and can't reach the pedals anyways on my Sky so I don't have to worry about anyone else's evil apple device fitting. Haha. I ran an iphone cord into the glove box from behind so she's covered and still no visible cables anywhere.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] redwings23:
I had one of these for a couple years. It worked, but eventually the plastic cracked apart in my hand (probably from sun/heat/ temp change).

Any way, Im amazed how much people are willing to pay for some standard car mounts. If you want to go all the way and itegrate the evo into the dash I get it, but why not a simple vent mount if you want the basics? My vent mount is $5.00 on newegg and it holds the phone right in line with the cold air from the A/C so I know im not over heating my gear (s. Florida). I use Torque and Waze religiously and I find this solution perfect for what I want. You can change the angle by clipping the phone in on an angle or moving the vent. It doesn't open wide enough for landscape, so portrait only, but you can still easily plug in the charge cable and headphones. I use a thick case; it is not a problem.

I can't stand driving a car without something like this in it!

THIS ---> http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=955&ProductType=321

Best car phone holder i've ever used. I've used the vent clip ones, they feel cheap to me. I can't stand the ones that suction cup to the winshield, unless you drive a tiny car it's quite a reach to get to the phone. This one will even suction cup to textured surfaces. My car (Chrysler 300) has a textrued dash and this will stick to it. It comes "undone" maybe once every couple of months. Just rinse the sticky part w/ water (like gecko grip) and re-apply.

Best part is the spring loaded grips. There is a button on the flat part that activates the gripper arms when you put the phone in the holster automatically. Love it...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
You do have a point there. I have a pile, a PILE, of car docks and desktop cradles for old phones because they only fit that one specific phone. I have two hand made rosewood desktop cradles that I paid something like $75 each for, that actually managed to fit two consecutive models of Palm Treo 6xx/7xx. Butchered Seideo with custom rs232 serial port and usb wiring to make external gps receiver work while still charging and connecting audio to the head unit, That Hero car doc that I hacked a little to work on the OG EVO I posted pics of was something like $99 ? And I only got a little under 2 years out of it. Rinse, repeat a few years... -> pile of expensive custom perfectly clean and good working useless stuff.

But man my car is so nice with no wires and yet still charging and audio connected by bluetooth... All in all it's worth it at least for the "good" car that I drive the most. I don't bother for the '96 pathfinder say.

That Hero one I posted the pics of before, when it was in the same car in the same place it was mounted to the dash (super convenient glossy flat surface to use, lucky!) instead of the window like I have the sprint one here. That was even slicker. The sprint one just stuck up too far when I tried to do it that way because the solid plastic post is not adjustable the way the other one with double ball-end post was. So it's on the glass. blech.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
Me too about the glass even though that's what I had to do for the sprint doc and even though the distance is ok in my car. I had to put my sprint doc in my girlfriends Prius for a weekend trip and holy cow that windshield is huge and reaches like 3 feet away from you at the bottom. I had to stick it up just under the rear view mirror smack in the middle of the field of view just to be able to reach it, and then of course that meant TWO cables dangling from there down across the view, over the front of the dash, into the center console, where the power and audio jacks are. No bluetooth.

There was room to mount on the dash but only textured plastic surfaces so this thing would have been great that weekend! I think I'll grab one for next time. I have to say I would hate to have to look at that thing every day but it sure is functional and functional trumps especially for temporary abnormal needs liker rental car or girlfriends car. It would be good in the truck too. Plus if I let a buddy borrow my truck, it works for their phone as well as mine or any other, and it won't go obsolete in 6 months, heck, _every_ 6 months or year.
