ClockWorkMod Experimental Build #2

If it loads feel free to flash the ROM, with the recovery.fstab extracted from the stock recovery everything should go where it's supposed to. Plus if it works that means it's go time for CM10.2!

Once I get this sorted out I got a request to make a ROM like JB-SlatePlusRom for the original Slate 7. Expect slowed development for like half a day. :p

(off topic) Do any of you know by any chance where I can get an IDE hard drive? I discovered that my uncle put a second 80gb IDE drive in my computer years ago. Once I found out about it I formatted it to NTFS... and it crapped out on me. I needed that space... That would be a whopping total of 160GB. The fully functional one is a Seagate Barracuda (too lazy to look up the model number in the BIOS) and the failed one is a Western Digital (again too lazy)

Is it still possible to get an IDE Seagate drive?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
checking the recovery when home, eta:1hr
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
sorry to say, screen is blinking again...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
That's it. I give up. Enjoy 4.2.

JK

The problem might be BoardConfig.mk. According to the CyanogenMod wiki a single error can brick the recovery. At least I don't have to worry about it when I do CM10.2 or CM11.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
i asked RJ to step in, maybe he has some kungfu to add...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
I hope so. Meanwhile I am going to connect to the server via my tablet at school on a VPN. This could take a while...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zarto:
About the IDE hard drive : unfortunately the last IDE drive builder just stopped production. Maybe you can find one on an internet hardware store. The brand is not important (Maxtor disks are made by Seagate). Maybe your motherboard has Sata controllers. If not you can also buy an USB external hard drive.

No SATA controllers unfortunately. That's why I'm asking about IDE.

This is perfect... I'll check this out.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rjwil1086:
I'm busy this weekend but if I can muster up some time... or have insomnia, I'll work on recovery for you guys. I'm always busy during the week, so at the worst case, I'll be able to work on it next weekend.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Do you mind sending me your birch folder when you get a working recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rjwil1086:
Not a problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
I'm going to try completely rebuilding the repo and see if that works. I've been getting errors in the latest builds, saying it's got no directions to make /usr needed by events.o.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
i can test for ya folks the whole weekend, no problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Just so you guys know I deleted the CM 10.2 build directory and have completely started from scratch with the CM11 source code. It's been building the recovery for a while now, I guess that might be a good sign :)

I also changed my java version from OpenJDK to the official JDK, and the compiler had always complained it doesn't like OpenJDK, so that may have been the missing link. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Here we go again...

Here's another experimental CWM build image. This one is CWM 6.0.4.5.

Like the previous image this one has RJ's recovery.fstab so if it works feel free to flash and test the ROM build.

If the ROM does not work I will try creating zip files based off of other Slate 7 Plus versions.

If CWM works I will not be working on this ROM very much, my priority will be CyanogenMod 11, but I'll take requests after I get a semi stable build of that.

EDIT: Even better... Making CM11 perfectly solid on this device, sending it in to Cyanogen Inc., and them using the port as an official ROM :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
this one stops at the bootlogo HP
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
How long did you try waiting?

I have insomnia right now either way, I will keep working.

EDIT: Just changed one thing in cm.mk, I forgot to specify that this is a tablet :p

There are only a few possible reasons for the recovery not booting up at this point:

An error on my part. I could have overlooked something obvious in BoardConfig.mk

This device passes boot parameters. If it does I would need to find out what they are to get the recovery to boot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
is there any way to log what is happening at the boot? maybe if i am connected through adb or something?! i would like to see where the bootsequence fails...

i will not be able to test in the next 9hrs, worktime here ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Uploading another build when it's done, hopefully this one works. :fingers-crossed:

NOTE TO SELF: Do not blindly agree to port ClockWorkMod and CM11.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
i am ready to test
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
As am I. I have uploaded the recovery.img in the previous post.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
did test, same as bevore, stops at HP logo
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
I've got one more thing up my sleeve before I call in the special ops (RJ)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Here is another build that has a few lines in BoardConfig.mk changed to hopefully help CWM boot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
nope, stops at hp logo
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
It's time to call in the special ops (if he wasn't busy weekdays... I'll keep trying)

CWM Recovery: lowering self esteem since 2014.

EDIT: How are you getting into Recovery Mode? If you're doing a recovery mode boot from a powered off state download Quick Boot and try that (or vice versa)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
tried both ways, power down, power up and hold volume-->recovery kernel, and used "boot into recovery" from the flashyfy menue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zarto:
Thank you for all the time spent for us :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
You're the only reason (besides RJ and Tommele) I've gotten this far, you built me the server. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
i am ready to test through the weekend, keep’em coming
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
RJ said worst case scenario he can make a recovery for us this weekend, and he is sending me his birch folder when he is done. When I get it I will try to compile from it to see if it's me being a noob (most likely :p) or something wrong with my configuration (not nearly as likely)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
OK, [MENTION=3483826]rjwil1086[/MENTION] has just PM'ed me a link to his experimental CWM build. I also have another method of flashing if Flashify doesn't do the trick (and if that was the issue I will be mad...)

You all can find the experimental CWM build here and if it works he's sending me the device tree so I can port CWM 6.0.4.7 to this device (hopefully without errors), but according to RJ the issue had to do with SELinux- I would need a custom kernel to get CM11 on this device. I could try CM10.1 though, then work my way up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
Bääääääm!

looks like we have CWM running!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
testing...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
seens to work....i only get this 'Warning: No file_contexts" at the beginning...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
...and this 'ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?'

which i answere with NO
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pille1:
Wow!! That's fantastic!!

can confirm, backup and restore works!

btw: flashyfy works perfect to flash the cwm and with the app 'quickboot' you can jump directly into recovery....or you jump from flashyfy, which works also...

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

maybe someone should spread the word towards flashyfy that they host cwm for the 'download' option they have?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Brilliant! I am adding RJ's build to the third post soon. Next he is sending me his device tree and I will be doing another compile to see if it was me, the build server, or the fact that I was using CM11.

Thanks [MENTION=3483826]rjwil1086[/MENTION]!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rjwil1086:
You probably want to disable recovery flash. That means the factory recovery will be flashed upon reboot.

If hp didn't put a backup of the recovery on your system partition it won't make a difference. On the 2800s they did and you have to disable it or the next time you boot to recovery your back at the factory recovery.

-RJ

---------- Post added at 07:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------

From what I'm reading that is a fairly common bug among several devices and doesn't mean anything is broke. But please test and let me know otherwise.

-RJ
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
I am building a recovery fakeflash based on CyanogenMod 10.1 right now. If it works I can start porting CM (Here we go...)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Just so you guys know I am working on an overclockable kernel right now.

You've got JB-SlatePlusROM while you wait for the big players like CyanogenMod and OmniROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Working on a semi-decent boot animation. The original I was working on was literally just a flashing circle :p

This one sort of looks like the CyanogenMod one but a little better.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
seems you are on fire now ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Yep. I've exited the noob stage and have entered the nub stage :laugh:

EDIT: Added a preview.

Photoshop CC FTW.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Done with the boot animation! I don't have time to turn the individual layers into a boot animation right now but I should have it included in version 2.0 of the ROM which will be a port of DoPa v2.0 for the Hisense Sero 7 Pro (If you didn't know, this ROM's goal is to be a port of the DoPa ROM).

The next version of the ROM will have:

Overclocking

A new boot animation :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
OK, last piece of the puzzle. If I am to build the kernel I need someone to do the following in ADB:

adb pull /proc/config.gz
gunzip config.gz

If the second command doesn't work for you it's fine to just send me the config.gz and I will open it myself.

What these commands do is pull a configuration file needed to build the kernel. When I get a successful build I will add a GitHub kernel link (in compilation with the GPL) in the OP as well as a full v2.0 release and a modular v2.0 "upgrade" so that those of you who installed v1.0 don't have to reflash a whole ROM.

Also, the kernel is clocked at 1.5 GHz (the maximum supported by this kernel) by default so you should use SetCPU to set the frequency lower if you wish.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rjwil1086:
I'll check and see if it can be extracted from the kernel using ikconfig. If HP was as nice for your hardware as they were for the 2800, there should be a working kernel configuration in the source code they shared. Although it took a couple tries before I found out which configuration was for the 2800 hardware (they had 3 configs listed for this board).

I'll try to get the device trees I used for the pine and birch hardware on github this weekend and share ;). I was able to boot cyanogenmod on the 2800 series using a modified vendor tree from a yuandau n70 - a different rockchip tablet - but I have yet to get the screen to work. I did get adb and logcat working though. Just have to find the configuration issue. Hope your having good luck on the slate 7 plus hardware too.

Do you want me to create a separate post for clockworkmod for your device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
nah, keep everything here, i do follow too many threads ;)

i will pull the config as you read this
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
config.gz

config.gz from slate7plus 4200eg
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Yeah, we should just keep everything here. I am going to make a seperate thread when I start working on CM though.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zarto:
4200ef :)

Edit : I compared it to TommeleTBone's config.gz with fc : it seems they are the same :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
It seems that HP was nice. I searched "birch" in the kernel source directory and they've already gotten a working defconfig in there.

Thanks anyways :)

EDIT: Building a test kernel now. And since I'm going to be distributing this one I will need to throw in one of these:

In compilation with the GPL, here is the Github link for my kernel source: https://github.com/jerbear64/android_kernel_Hewlett-Packard_birch

EDIT 2: Git Push why you be so slow? :confused: I need the test zimage to sync with that github sometime today...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zarto:
Sorry I have only 100 KB/s ADSL upload ! I stopped my Bitorrent client ...

If you're under 100 KB/s it's GitHub fault :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
It's OK.

I've got a new boot.img compiled. I will upload it here soon, and I'll need a tester.

Whoever downloads it please save it into your ADB/Fastboot directory, reboot the Slate into bootloader mode, and type the following:

fastboot boot boot-overclockable.img

This command is the equivalent of a recovery fakeflash for kernels. Once you shut down your Slate again it will boot with the stock kernel.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
testing possible in ETR 3,5hrs ...

i have my slate here, but unfortunately no machine with adb&fastboot...using flashyfy might bust me if the kernel fails ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zarto:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.061s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.175s]
finished. total time: 1.240s

Then the tablet is stuck on the flashboot menu with Bootloader, Continue, Reboot-bootloader, Reboot and Poweroff options.

As soon as the fastboot command is launched I can't use hardware buttons to navigate in the menu anymore.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Strange... I'll try again with the config that you provided.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
are we sure the device has been booted into fastboot ? my guess is that this stock bootloader prevents us from doing so...

because the procedure is boot into fastboot bootloader and than the .img get's pushed over, right?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
What happens when you select these options?

EDIT: What about adb reboot fastboot? I assumed that the normal bootloader could pass fastboot commands since the stock bootloader on my Hisense Sero 7 Pro came unlocked and when rebooting into bootloader a green "FASTBOOT" shows up and the tablet stays like that. At that stage it can pass fastboot commands... It's such an amazing dev tablet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zarto:
After the fastboot command I can't select any option because tablet is stuck

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
You should be able to hold down the power button for 10 seconds to force the tablet to shut off. It worked once when my tablet conveniently decided to soft reboot while flashing a ROM and I couldn't touch the screen or use the hardware buttons to navigate CWM Touch Recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zarto:
Sorry I forgot to mention that. That's what I did and the tablet turned off then booted normally.

does fastboot than connect from your pc?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Try doing

adb reboot fastboot

then the other commands.

That might work!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Has anybody attempted to go into fastboot via

adb reboot fastboot

or using the way that [MENTION=4475802]TommeleTBone[/MENTION] described? That should work, then try the test boot.img.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
no chance, i tried that and my method, no chance, even if you select FASTBOOT PROTOCOL, the menue jumps back....than you can push the boot.img but than everything freezes....

adb reboot fastboot does boot the device normaly

maybe fastboot locked ?!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] callidus_ex_de_latebros:
Hi, sorry to interject, but I have a HP Slate 7 - the 4601 model. I have rooted it using the 'Shuane' method, and have permanent root via 'Android Root Toolkit' and I am now using SuperSU with complete success. Everything works fully, ADB, SU shell access via adb/terminal emulator. I've even run a Ubuntu disk image from internal storage, and local VNC'd to it.

I have been mainly following this thread, as the one for the JB-SlateROM seems somewhat sparse. I have got the CWM 6.0.3.3 working using the Linux method in windows command line.

Is there going to be a custom kernel for the Slate 7 (the standard, not the Plus)? And if so, would it be in the JB-SlateROM thread, or shold I just try one from this thread?

Thanks very much.

p.s: CM11 for the Slate 7 - 4601! please, please, please!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
I do have a custom kernel planned for the Slate 7 2800/4600. It will be in the JB-SlateROM thread when it's ready.

CM11 will take some work though... I'm up to the challenge. But I'll have to start with CM10 and work my way up so I'm not jumping from 4.1 to 4.4 :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] callidus_ex_de_latebros:
Ok. Thanks! :D

Just checked, 'adb reboot fastboot' reboots it normally, straight into the OS.

(sorry to ask so many questions) I know it's early days yet, but sometime in the future, could you (or someone else less noobish than I) add USB OTG support to the kernel. The stock Slate kernel doesn't support it, but the hardware is all there, so it would just need some kernel tweaking, and voila!

The ability to overclock beyond the stock maximum (i.e. above 1.6GHz) would be very nice also.

But, I realise that you are busy, and that this all takes time, so no hurry for now. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TommeleTBone:
flashed the image with flashyfy, slate gets stuck on HP bootup screen....

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jerbear294:
Hopefully the only thing I did wrong was pack the kernel into the boot.img incorrectly :fingers-crossed:

I'm in the early stages too. It may not seem like it, but this is the first device I've developed for, which is why everything's going wrong :)
