[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Yeah that's what I've seen. Though here's a beginning for what you can do [MENTION=5050467]Androthan[/MENTION]

1. Make a cleaner vold.fstab (yours look like stock samsung crap, even vold can't read it as per your logcat says :P), you can base yourself here: https://github.com/dhiru1602/android_device_samsung_galaxysl/blob/gingerbread/etc/vold.fstab

Also you can remove that sdcard mounting in your init.rc as it is already supposed to be mounted with vold.

2. Looks like from the log that your device can't access dalvik cache needed for the apps. Here's a commit I've found that will replace the path location from /cache to /dbdata. Though perhaps it would be better if it could be /cache. For this I would need to check dmesg as well to see if something haven't broke during the process. Here's the commit for the path change in case you need it:

https://github.com/dhiru1602/android_device_samsung_galaxysl/commit/5c2a2a54541448565a8d2418cfd75a1a4882342d

My guess would be that maybe cache doesn't get mounted right but it's not only logcat that can tell me this.

Hope it helps! :P

EDIT: Looks like it's better to use /data for dalvik-cache instead of /cache then make a symlink to it as per the commit says...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
This commit shows how mounting was done in for the 5.0 in CM7 : https://github.com/ambrice/android_...mmit/891c1f59058d4d7e082d44ca40f9fcf3addd6188 . Not exactly sure how far [MENTION=4371290]ambrice[/MENTION] got with CM7 though...

I know that the partition table is different for 3.6 but I thought it might give you an idea of how it's should be.

EDIT: I should mention that in the 5.0, we try to mount ext4 first but we fail back to rfs if we can't mount ext4....

Another thing I noticed is that you are trying to mount mmcblk0p1. I don't know how it is on the 3.6 but on the 5.0 that partition represents the entire extended partition and I don't think it can actually be mounted....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The mmcblk0p1 is the efs partition which is why it is needed to be mounted as reperesented here:

https://github.com/zaclimon/initramfs-ypgs1/blob/master/init.aalto.rc#L68

However he looks like he doesn't put the mounting flags to his partition so that to be done as well. Also those devices mounts as ext4 by default as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
Thank you both for answering my thread :)

I used the init.rc from <cmsource>/system/core/rootdir and added the things from the stock init.rc. I also cleaned up init.aalto.rc and modified it to work with CM.

I already tried to symlink /cache/dalvik-cache and /data/dalvik-cache

but this doesn't fixed my issue that it can't create the DEX caches.

I think I'll have to fix...

... the vold.fstab (like you said)

... Add some folders to ramdisk

... libaudio.so (libaudio doesn't get located but its needed to start the system server

... Figure why it doesn't mount cache

... Figurebwhy dbus can't find etc/dbus.conf (even when /system/etc is symlinked to /etc)

BTW, zaclimon you said you need a 'dmesg'. What is it and how can I get it?

Thanks, Androthan
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Thing is the approach for the dalvik cache is different from the one you maybe made. This one implies that you make a dalvik-cache folder inside /dbdata which is in /data, then symlink it to make it /cache/dalvik-cache as well. For the moment these are the most important. Also as for cache, I didn't say that it won't mount it, I said that maybe it won't mount it because of some issues unless the dalvik-cache isn't made here.

Also the dmesg is the kernel log (it's basically a logcat but from a kernel side instead, here you can see how the kernel make it's initialization. You can have it either with this:

adb shell dmesg > dmesg.log

A proc/last_ksmg is a dmesg too but from the previous boot.

It's better to do one at a time then fix the other things after ;) (this way you could get other problems than the one you have already)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Here is the dmesg man:

http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?dmesg+8

Normally you could get a dmesg by being root and typing dmesg > nameoffile.log but you'd need to be in a directory that you can write to for that. You can type dmesg as root in the shell and it will output to the screen...

I normally just

adb root

adb shell

dmesg

EDIT: Sorry [MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION], I didn't think you were going to answer ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Haha ya well perhaps it wouldn't have worked if he didn't made adb root so I guess this is a team work after all. :p

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
Thanks for the tip and the explanation of dmsg.

I'm now testing a new build with the following changes :

- added lines to init.rc "export ANDROID_CACHE /cache and export DOWNLOD_CACHE /cache/download"

- Added mounting flags (for example: nodev,noexec,wait...)

- symlinked /dbdata/dalvik-cache /cache/dalvik-cache

Another question... Do I have to use the libaudio.so library (and libasound.so) from the device (proprietary way) or can I use the libaudio which gets compiled with CM7 (ALSA sound) ?

Greetings, Androthan :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
I honestly don't know but If I were you, I'd do which ever one worked and if they both worked, then I'd do which ever one worked better...:cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
As meticulus said, I'd probably test which one sound better but it would be better to use the open source variant. Though it would be better as I said earlier to make the thing booting first.

As for the dalvik cache, be sure to make a directory in dbdata before symlink it to /cache.

Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 7 avec Tapatalk 4
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
So, I reworked some things and fixed...

... vold.fstab (rewrote it)

... dbus.conf (deleted etc in the ramdisk)

... dalvik-cache (the rootfilesystem '/' system was mounted as 'read only' so we hadn't the right permissions // symlinked /cache/dalvik-cache and /dbdata/dalvik-cache )

My/Our problem is now the libaudio.so:

It is needed to load the SystemServer.

I'm actually using the stock libaudio files (libaudiopolicy.so, libaudioflinger.so, libasound.so, libsoundpool.so,...) but theres an error in libaudio.so , something doesn't get located.

Some websites are saying that libaudio.so contains the proprietary code (HAL implementation) for the audio device (like libcamera.so for the camera).

How to fix that? Did I missed a proprietary file?

Greetings, Androthan
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Logs?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Well as a temporary solution you could use the one found in the stock rom and then copy it to your vendor files so it can be copied into your lib folder. This way it'll work no problem. Also as [MENTION=4400604]Meticulus[/MENTION] said, a bunch of logs is always appreciated. :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maladore:
I have HTC One Developer's Edition.

A couple of months ago I decided I could not wait for HTC to release 4.3. and install Android Revolution.

I made a recovery on Sept 11 (should have known ...), installed the thing and got myself a smoothly functioning custom ROM.

After hearing HTC has released KitKat for the Developer's Edition, I decided to go back to 4.3 so I can install the KitKat update.

I was being stupid and did not read instructions or anything else. Instead I simply went to the bootloader -> recovery -> restore

Then I restored the System and Boot image which went just fine.

Right after that SuperUser said that my phone is not rooted and asked whether I want to root it, I swiped the screen to confirm.

Unfortunately at the first boot the phone hung at the start screen, the one with white background, htc logo, the big "one" word and beats audio in the bottom.

I tried turning off the phone and it wouldnt do it.

So right now I am writing this in a depressed mood, waiting for the battery in the phone to run out all the hwile hoping real bad that I haven't just bricked this freakin 650 dollar thing.

What should I do to get things back to normal ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
Press and hold the power button. Your phone WILL turn off. Then bootloader > recovery > factory reset. Should be good.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maladore:
Thanks for your suggestion.

The power button did -not- work I did repeatedly try holding it down for 15-20 seconds but it wouldnt turn off. Which is why I posed my problem here.

However the factory wipe did indeed work. It'd take a lot of time and effort to recover all the contents with my 150 kbyte/s internet but at least I know my baby (*strokes the back of the phone*) will be just fine.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycoffman45:
for future use if it wont reboot with holding the power button next time try it while holding the phone under a bright light. i know it sounds stupid but it works

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I hope I'm posting this in the right section of the forum, apologize if not.

I'm just a super-noob at this overall cell-phone terminology for Rooting, ROMs and etc.

I want to root my phone and input the new Android Jelly Bean on it (I hope that's possible)

I have no idea where to start. When I search online I found some older threads on how to but I'm not sure if it's still viable.

I'll post my phone info and see where this will go.

HTC Sensation z710e

When I press "power" + "vol down" I see

Any help, hopefully step by step help will be most appreciated. Thank you for your patience and if you require more info let me know
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
firstly your device is already on S-OFF which makes things a lot easier

flash 3.33 universal from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

follow the instuctions to the letter

and before flashing check md5 sums(important)

after that flash the new rom from recovery

done:good:
[HTC Sensation] megamonkey:
Great to know my phone's already S-OFF'd

Does that mean I'm rooted or not yet?

How do I check md5 sums?

I'm really bad at this stuff and I just want as much help as possible so i don't screw up

Thanks for your help and patience
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
probably you aren't rooted

but consider this

every custom rom comes prerooted

so there is no point to root your current one

about md5 sums:

put the zip in your sdcard

navigate with any file manager you have to that zip

tap and hold on it until it pops up a menu

go to properties

somewhere it will say show checksum or calculate checksum

it will show you a row of letters and numbers

then compare it with the one from the download link and see if it matches

note: once you flash the 3.33 universal(ics firmware) your current rom won't boot because it is a gb one

so you have to flash the new rom after upgrading your firmware

and don't forget to backup your current rom just in case

by the way do you have sdk tools installed in your pc?(adb and fastboot files)
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
Google md5 generator for Windows. Use the first link that you find.

If you have 4ext recovery, you can check md5 there itself.

Happy to help.
[HTC Sensation] megamonkey:
Okay, I checked with an MD5 program suggested, and it codes match. Great!

How do I backup my current ROM? I've heard of Clockwork and 4Ext but doesn't it require a Root?

I plan to use to ROM. How do I flash a new ROM?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2115520
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
first you have to flash 3.33 universal

also tell me do you have sdk tools installed in your pc?
[HTC Sensation] megamonkey:
Okay I'll flash the 3.33 universal

No I don't have SDK tools installed, I have no idea what that is.

Also how do I backup my current ROM?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
wait then!

edit: from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661631

use only the one click root tool to root your current rom

then use the 4ext updater app to download and install 4ext recovery

link in my signature

then follow with the 3.33

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

from recovery see my last post

since you don't have sdk tools installed start with the one click root tool
[HTC Sensation] megamonkey:
Okay so I downloaded the one click tool. I followed the steps, but when I double-click the "root" bat file. the command program pops up but it says repeatedly " 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

any idea?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i gave an answer in the other thread

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
try this one

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
since you are rooted install 4ext updater app

from that app download and install 4ext recovery touch

then boot to the recovery

go to backup/restore->backup

then you can backup your current rom

after that format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext

flash the new rom

As you may know people I have a How To on how to Flash Roms and Fix various errors on your phones.

I currently have an S4 Mini thats why i havent been in this Forum for a while sorry for the people that have been following me..

But, I am at a loss with this one...

My friend has an i9000 which he found and has an iPhone (dont ask he's a traitor)..

Anyway...

USB is not recognised on PC what I mean is I think the USB Charge Port is Dead :(

Can Boot to recovery And Download mode (which is a bit of a bonus I think)

In Recovery there is multiple errors such as....

E :.. unknown volume for path cache/recovery/log

cant mount...

cant open .....

So I think the Internal memory is corrupted or damaged... so any ideas guys :confused:

As I used to have a link on my How to Guide.. but cant find the person that posted there fix for this..

I do know its just a matter of fixing the re-partition but have no access through USB port

Help, if you can guys and remember the USB doesnt work and battery is getting charged by an external battery charger (mains)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
For USB problem use this guide to solve

For unknown path would normally be a CWM problem, so flash back to stock with PIT repartition or and use correct version of CWM and try or try switch CWM and correct version of ROM ( also check IMEI)

As when you plug the cable into thats attached to the PC it lights up that its charging then goes off again every few seconds so could be the port or the Board itself
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
you can flash using Mobile Odin a JVU or JVZ stock ROM, without PIT, to see if it boots follow this for Mobile Odin if phone can boot.

if not you can use a recovery tool to flash from PC , look in My Android Collections link below.

as for your USB question, had the answer in the back of my mind for that issue, but cannot recall it ay the moment , will see, if I can remember that :D but you should try the cleaning procedure in the mean time

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2hudson:
Wanted to know if anyone had there note 3 on ting, an mvno under sprint and if there were any differences than the sprint version. I wanted to bring my sprint note 3 over but they said i wouldn't be able to do that yet so im thinking about ordering theirs.

also how do you like ting?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrinceMike:
Note 3 on ting troubles

I pre-ordered the Note 3 on ting the day it went up on their website and recieved it on 11/6. I love the phone, but unfortunately 4G service has not worked once since I've had it. At first I assumed it was a bad phone so I called for an exchange. The tech support wanted to ensure I was in a 4G area so they asked me to do a side by side with another ting/Sprint phone to verify that it was indeed a bad phone. I knew for sure that I had been in a 4G coverage area with no luck, but I went along with it because overall, given some people's level of tech knowledge, I thought it was a reasonable request. I did the test, and just like I suspected, my wife's ting S4 had 4G just fine, while my Note 3 was stuck on 3G. So I called again a few days later seeking my exchange. This time, I was told that the problem was actually a known issue on Sprint's end. Apparently, because it was a new tri-band phone, Sprint was experiencing some problems on the new frequencies, so all newer phones were having the same problem. That would seem like a reasonable explanation; problem is the Note 3

is not

a tri-band device. I kindly explained that to the tech, who then put me on hold. He came back with a new explanation: the problem was on ting's end, a software glitch that was mis-identifying Note 3's to the Sprint Network as 3G only devices. He assured me that they were working on the problem and would contact me when it was fixed. Sure enough, I got an email about a week later asking me to do a factory reset on my phone, and all would be good. I did, and all is not good, still no 4G. The tech than said he would elevate the issue with Sprint technical support. I'm still waiting to here the results. Frankly I'm getting tired of waiting. I'm going to call again tomorrow [12/3] and ask to return the phone.

Up until this issue I've loved ting. I switched over in March and have saved lots of money on service, $50 to $70 per month! I've recommended them to several friends. As far as I can tell the service quality and coverage is identical to Sprint. There is no data roaming, but I reviewed my Sprint bills prior to switching, and less than 1% of my data was roaming anyway so I could live without that in exchange for the savings.

When you call, a person answers the phone as well, which is nice.

I'm a ting fan, but they need to make me happy fast to me to remain one.
