[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patroclo7:
I have tried tons of different roms and kernels, and settled (provisionally) to slim bean ROM and franco kernel. However, I have noticed that while slim bean includes several scripts ini init.d, franco kernel does not support init.d scripts by default (I have read that this depends on its default initramfs), so that these scripts are not executed at boot. What should I do? Is perhaps the idea that those scripts are for slim bean stock kernel and that actually they should not be run with franco kernel, leading perhaps to some potential conflict? Or am I loosing some functionality in the rom, so that I should resort to one of those several ways to add init.d support to any kernel (such as uni-init and others: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933849)?

Please note that I do not need to add other personal scripts to init.d, I wonder only if I am facing some kind of conflict between rom and kernel. Note also that I am not observing any practical negative effect ATM, I am only wondering if this general situation (rom with init.d scripts, custom kernel disabling them) is on purpose or something that I should fix.

Now what condition is about your phone , can it boot or can it able only to recovery mode ??? Your boooader is unlocked or not ?
[HTC EVO 3D] faizan950:
i use cmd and flash boot.img

recovery is work for me

boot loader unlock i want s-off help me ?
[HTC EVO 3D] simran420:
Sorry I never know how to solve it but I see a problem when I try to switch-off , the problem is that when they say to perform wire trick then 1 firstly put wire in the pin when when the wire touch the pin phone restart and the and restart connecting then my phone never boot and it is only able to go to joupn. Recovery by fastboot . So I think can not connect wire before the say either in pin or ground .
[HTC EVO 3D] faizan950:

Thks for feel Care about my phone......

Now my phone is switch-off , this thing happen on 13 feb, on that day I am in totally nervousnesd and after continue try 3-4 hour I get success , one thing more I try the tap it is not work from my side and after that I connect the wire both ground and pin at same time and after few seconds remove wire from both pin & grd. Then I get error "66xxx",it is time error I read it in the post, so I try again with different duration of removing and finally I got this ... I tell you whole about because if you solve adb connecting error and afterewards if you face this type of error then try that method...

My phone is in perfect condition with hBoot 1.47.0007 locked and also never think about boot unlocked with HTC dev , I read it make worse If I try..
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
It's a requirement to unlock with htcdev before doing the wire trick. It will not work if you are locked.
[HTC EVO 3D] simran420:
Friends I think you can misread my post that I already get switch-off, see second line..

I think it is not required to unlocked boot loader when you get switch-off already . if I m wrong then plz. Tell.
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
You are correct. Sorry I misunderstood that you were already s-off. You are correct, you do not need to unlock the bootloader. With the stock locked bootloader you will not be able to use fastboot commands. If you want to stay locked in would recommend using the juopunutbear patched hboot as it won't affect your locked status and will enable extra fastboot commands.

I'm confused as to what your current problem is? You are s-off but are you still stuck on the juopunutbear screen?

If so did you see the link in my first post? That offers steps to recover your phone if stuck in juopunutbear mode.
[HTC EVO 3D] simran420:
Haha I will also confuse at that time . for your confusion when I try to performed wire trick firstly I put the one end of wire in pin1 then phone will vibrate and then restart and AdB start reconnecting ...

[General Questions and Answers] tys0n:
My suggestion is that you read up on this. You hardly even know what you're asking for.

Before you root any device you should at least know something about it. Just root it won't make it any better without modding, tweaking etc.

You can end up with a brick.
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
Rooting won't make it faster. Rooting is like unlocking a door to a control room - it doesn't change anything unless you know how to use the controls.

Look in here or Google for how to root your device if you're sure it's the right choice. You can brick it an thereby make it infinitely slower if you're not careful. You will need to do more than just installing some apps that require you to have already rooted for them to work.

Unless you can install CWM (and look into TWRP before doing that) from a usb connects without root, you're not going to be helped by that at all. It won't make your tablet faster, anyway. Look up what it is before trying to install it or anything else.
[General Questions and Answers] DeyosBeats:
Ok guys thanks for waking me up out of this bad dream! lol

Well you know i take ur advice, read something about it and then decide.

Is there even a good solution to make it a bit faster?

Cause when i play real racing 3 some tracks lags a bit , while with others

it wont.

[General Questions and Answers] killbubble:
R: NEED HELP WITH ROOT please read thanks!

Root is a good idea to make your tablet faster. If you want to overclock cpu or gpu or manage services or pretty much do anything to your phone (which can go from normal system cache cleaning to flashing a different, lighter and faster, version of android to your tablet).

So, yes, if you want to make your tablet really faster (a noticeable change) it would be smart to root it...but you gotta search the web understand what you are gonna do how you are gonna do it also if it works most of the times or its a complete fails. Search the web! U will find out all the risks and advantages to modding your android.

If your want to root it look for it on google, youtube, or here (it's surely already been posted somewhere).

Just use these keywords for your search

'Your tablet name/model' 'android version' root.

Before overclokking or whatsoever, know that exceeding your limits (especially if your device is not high end) can lead you to break your tablet completely. too much modding can lead to fast battery drainage, overheating and possibly meltdown of hardware components:D;)

So be careful what you do!

[General Questions and Answers] tys0n:
Do you know how to enter recovery mode on your tab?

If you do you can try to download a generic-root-signed.zip

No name tablets usually don't have a private key for files so it might work to root it that way. Otherwise you can try Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry.

There are many ways to try...

Hi there!

Is anybody working on porting linux to xda now ? Is any info about project's state available ?

I found this idea very interesting, and I'm interested in porting Linux on my cell phone - SONY CMD-J5. Internally xda & j5 is very similar(!) - both have hercrom100 cpu, twl3011 chip, and there is absolutely no docs on hardware, excluding firmware hackers' info (r00t.host.sk, http://hyperion.sp.unipg.it/bodhi3/), but there is still nothing that seems like datasheet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guest:
HI

No help to give I'm afraid but am having a similar linux problem. Mainly connecting to a linux based wireless LAN and using telnet facilities on linux systems.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] W4XY:
No progress

Hi,

As far as I'm aware no-one is working on it. Mostly because everyone is too busy with other stuff and it doesn't have priority. Maybe because people are too busy finding out what can be done with the current software.

One note though: when running Linux on an XDA you have nothing todo (or hardly) with the hercom chipset etc. The ARM that would run Linux is completely separate and would communicate with the GSM modem through a serial AT command interface.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vadiim:
OK, thank you.

And then a new question: if two devices both using hercrom100 & twl3011 chips, they must (?) have similar hardware IO ports. For example, it was concluded that on Sony J5 on-chip com port data register is accessible via 0xFFFF5800 port, and first timer's control registers are accsible via 0xFFFFF800, 0xFFFFF802, 0xFFFFF804 ports. I didn't find any info about this ports on the site's pages. What's the matter ? I know that they are busy people, and cannot spend a lot of time disposing XDAs. More politely, I want to ask - is any sort of similar info is available to anybody ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] W4XY:
In the XDA all or almost all I/O with the end-user is taken care of by the StrongARM chip. This chip communicates through GPIO lines and a serial port with the GSM ARM chip. This part is the custom ARM/DSP combo. I suspect that there will be great similarities between things like hardware ports on the processors themselves. I doubt that the are used in the same way as on the XDA. For the XDA port it is not needed to touch the hercom chipset at all.

Porting linux to something like such a Sony sounds like a very big and uncertain effort. With the XDA at least there is the iPaq, which is similar and has a linux port. Still for that port Compaq used a lot of internal specs that are not available on the XDA. I suspect the Sony to be quite different from the XDA because I don't think it will have and additional strongARM for starters. Do you know if the thing was manufacutered by HTC for Sony? Because if it is a Sony design than even if the chipsets are identical there is no comparison possible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vadiim:
Hmm. I expected that you have a bit info about hercrom chipset. :(

Also I expected that hercrom chip plays a more significant role in the xda, than a gsm modem. But the firmware loaded to hercrom cpu might be useful - possibly it converts AT commands to the output on some ports to drive the gsm hardware; may be it quite plain for reverse-engeneering than Sony firmware, where gsm hardware driving routines mixed up with lot of other stuff. Hmm. May be, it is possibe to find a guy from, for example, HTC software development team, who can help us. Dreams, dreams..

"Porting Linux" is sounds quite good, but now it's no more than brave idea, you right.

There is no additional chip in the Sony that drives LCD, takes care of user input and so on. Also, I don't know who is real manufacturer of the device. It is almost certainly known that hercrom is the one and main cpu in the device. There are 32Mbit flash chip, in which resides the firmware. And this firmware is disassembled by ~10-20 volunteers.

Thank you very much.

And where is my Interactive Disassembler ? :)

Hello all...

Just some quick questions with xda and linux...

- What's the current status of linux support? Like, what works, what doesn't?

- How many people (or maybe also who) are actually working on porting linux onto the xda?

- What has to be done for xda linux support?

Staus of porting Linux to XDA

Status of porting Familiar Linux to the XDA:

a) Lots of people think it would be totally cool

b) Nobody's doing it

We here at XDA-developers would love to help out and share our experience with the device and we can invest quite a bit of time. But we're not diving into this one on our own (just yet).

Given that Familiar Linux runs on an iPaq the job wouldn't be too great. Getting the kernel to run would be doable. Getting it to talk to the screen, modem and buttons may be a little more tricky. And there issues with the flash chips not being supported by Bootblaster (?). Probably the lack of a sleeve-interface and/or CF-card slot would make development a little bit more tricky.

All in all, it would be a Good Thing (tm) if some people that are really familiar with familiar would spend a secluded weekend with some of our gurus, sometime later this summer. Maybe do this as a project at CCC Camp?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pigeon:
Familiar and etc...

I've been using Linux/Familiar on my Ipaq for quite a while (2+ years). I'm also a developer for Familiar and GPE (not actively right now though, "busy" you know ;) I have a fair bit of knowledge how it works as a distro. However I'm not really a Linux kernel/drivers hacker. I'm willing to help porting Linux onto xda for sure, though I don't really own a xda yet, which is even more tricky. Been looking around ebay for xda but haven't started really getting/biding one yet.

Anyway... I'm basically one of those i-am-not-buying-a-device-unless-it-can-run-linux person. ;)

Cheers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MADmanFREE:
Lots of recruits

Looking like there are a lot of us on this site just gagging for Linux on our XDA. Hopefully by the end of the summer this will have emerged in some way then.

Perhaps now would be an appropriate time for somebody here, or elsewhere to take charge? Of course it has to be somebody who has time, and knowledge. Me personally am one of the many people who are eager to test, but don'y have a clue!

Many thanks. And heres to something getting underway very soon.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pigeon:
Maybe we could have a bit more detail list of what steps are needed to be done/discovered in order to have a usable (or full) linux port on the xda?

Something like...

- JTAG

---- locating JTAG pins(?)

- bootloader

- drivers(?)

- etc(?)

Someone who really knows about the xda can come up a comprehensive one and people can slowly work on them?

Pigeon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] W4XY:
Hi

Now that I made some progress, we can look at this.

Currently I finished the JTAG part and a bootloader can be flashed in this way. More details can be found at the following page, but it has not been finished completely yet: http://xda-developers.com/jtag/

To port Linux, I think the following steps are needed:

- reverse engineer the hardware mapping to registers, pins and addresses

- port a bootloader with this information

- port the kernel with this information

Now the first two parts would be an iterative loop, starting with a basic set of hardware features such as screen, touch screen and buttons. For this it is necessary to understand how the bootloader (for example bootldr at http://cvs.handhelds.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/bootldr/) works and how it can be limited to basic functionality.

When the bootloader has been ported with the basic hardware features than this information can be pretty much directly used for porting the kernel.

Question is:

Who has experience with coding in the bootldr or BootBlaster for iPaq?

Who has experience reversing the Wallaby bootloader to figure out how hardware is controlled from software?

Who can create a basic build for running the bootloader in RAM on the XDA from Windows CE?

Any volunteers can mail me, but I don't have much time to instruct. People should have the ability to take a 'Figure out how the LCD is controlled' and proceed from there with something like IDA Pro.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] W4XY:
Ok, I took it upon myself to at least create a basic port and procedure for getting bootldr running on the XDA in RAM (without flashing). When that is working, I'll post more details on where to get it etc.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MADmanFREE:
Good Luck

We appreciatte the effort that you all make on this site. As I have no experience in any of the things that you mentioned I can be of little assistance for the moment. But as one of the few here that are interested in this Linux port, I look forward to testing and giving feedback.

Looking forward to the XDA Special Edition Linuc ROM ! ! ! v0.01
