Jut get latest i9506 JB kernel and check what's the difference in KOR/EUR configs. I think, the problem is GPIO config + TDMB driver. So, look into JB source where GPIO config defined and port it into KK E330S kernel. It shouldn't be hard - just one/two .h files. And disable TDMB driver (which may fail on i9506 and thus make kernel halt in panic state).
[Galaxy S 4 General] finnince:
Hi!

I've flashed CM11 this thread provides, but I met with some issues: WiFi is not working. Could you please give me some advice on how to solve this?

I will attach logcat & dmesg if needed. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:
KOR/EUR configs difference from JB, few items are missing with KK kernel source. And, dtbs seems smelly(arch/arm/mach-msm/Makefile.boot will not generate ks01 dtbs if KOR is not set)

For now, the question I am hoping you can answer is, is disabling TIMA/LKM enough for running KK kernel on JB bootloader(e330s)?
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
You don't need to change KOR to EUR. Just modify GPIO settings in /arch/arm/mach-msm according to JB I9506 source and disable TDMB related settings in config.

I don't have i9506, so i cannot tell on which stage boot stops.

I only can tell my E330S has very old bootloader from 4.2.2 and it works fine with both 4.3 and 4.4.2 kernels with TIMA/LKM disabled and SELinux set in permissive mode.
[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:
Okay, thanks a million!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] MMLP2:
Arter will you be able to build cm11 on the i9506 with all those information?
[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:
ROM itself is enough; the kernel is the root cause.

I may need a bunch of tests before getting this really working.

If it continously doesn't work, I'll hold off until i9506 gets official KitKat and Samsung releases its sources.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MMLP2:
Sure that's totally understandable
[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:
Have you touched cmdline to boot with older bootloader?

[MENTION=5024661]TonskuDaigle[/MENTION] have posted last_kmsg and something with dtbs and cmdline seems smelly..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2691639&page=9
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
Nope. I didn't tweak cmdline. What suspicious in cmdline you see in that log?

According to that log, kernel go to auto-reboot at some stage. Hard to see the reason. What is suspicious for me is this:

<4>[ 2.423461] exfat_core: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
<4>[ 2.423672] exfat_fs: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout

Probably it's not fatal.

It looks like exception happened not inside the kernel. User need to provide logcat to check. You need to configure ramfs to enable adb mode by default.
[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:
No no, that's a stock kernel part.

The end of the log, there are some parts that says loading dtb has failed; that's my kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
Ah, i see now.

May be it would be good to insert more debug outputs in the place where it failed.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

Btw, just remember that i've assembled kernel image by old mkbootimg tool. When i've started to work with E330S kernel, in time of 4.2.2, Samsung didn't supply neither instruction, nor tools to assemble kernel image with DTB part.

So, i've found some custom made mkbootimg_dtb tool by one chinese guy and use it since that time.

With 4.4.2 source i've found that Samsung start to include their own version of mkbootimg tool with some script, but i've declined it (just because i already have my script which works fine) and continue to use the old one.

Probably, there was change in kernel header about DTB part which is known for new bootloader, while the old bootloader doesn't understand it. There is even new format of DTB when DTB loading is handled by kernel image instead of bootloader.

Probably, new bootloader can handle both old and new DTB image formats.

Thus, probably, you need to assemble the image with old mkbootimg tool and it will work with both old and new bootloaders.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
i'm using this command line to assemble final kernel image:

mkbootimg_dtb --kernel arch/arm/boot/zImage --ramdisk ramfs.cpio.gz -o boot.img --base 0x00000000 --offset 0x02000000 --tags-addr 0x01e00000 --dt dt.img --cmdline "console=null androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 maxcpus=2 msm_rtb.filter=0x3F"
[Galaxy S 4 General] arter97:
I think you're referring to Xiaolu's mkbootimg_tools (https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools). Right?

I'm also using it since 4.3 and with this CM project.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E3.14demie:
Hello,

i got a Sony Xperia Z1 C6903,

i bought it 5 Weeks ago, it got the Firmware 290

i Downgraded it to 534 and rooted it with "Root with Restore by Bin4ry"

then i flashed XZ Locked Dual Recovery and had no problems

i wiped everything like i should

and then i tried to install via TWRP the 290 Flashable.zip

after it i shut off my device (i didn't reboot just shut it off)

then i started to flash the striped 290 on the device

after this when i try to start the device all i see is SONY

and nothing else..

when i downgrade the firmware again to 534 and root it there are no problems... only when i try to flash to 290 it get stuck at the sony screen...

is there someone that could help me? :/

EDIT:

after i flash the 290 firmware via TWRP i get the message:

"E:Unable to mount '/data'"
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostman2:
Did you wiped everything AFTER flashing 290??
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E3.14demie:
nope, nothing.

but also i can not really install 290 because it says "can't mount /data"
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostman2:
But can u install some previous firmware?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E3.14demie:
yes i can via flashtool

there is no problem in flashing 534 with flashtool

was is creeping me out is that when i stuck on the sony logo i can't even go into the recovery so i have to flash everytime 534 root it install the recovery agauin and then i can try it another time...

i also tried it with phil recovery and "wipe to install a new rom" but even this didn't helped :/

when i didn't wiped anything after rooting 534 and install 290 over the rooted 534 i was able to go into the recovery and i saw "xperia" and the animation but it always rebooted at this point :/
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostman2:
Have you tried another 290 firmware? Maybe this has beeing corrupted for some reason...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E3.14demie:
Nope i haven't i will try it.

Btw. Is it possible because i have a locked bootloader
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegahanggara:
Sure. Unlock bootloader is needed if you want to flash custom kernel. All ftf on sticky thread on general section are pure stock ROM, with pure stock kernel. So locked bootloader won't be a problem.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemeziz 56th:
I was having the same angry problem.

I was on. 534 with Root and DualRecovery I wipe system,cache,data,internal storage and flash than the .136 first time a Germany Version then the stripped (Germany Version) without reboot the phone .zip then I got a bootloop after 8 times flash again I notice that not I make a mistake it is the faulty .zip that have a error inside( the flash was fine but it stuck on Sony logo)

Then I take the two files from Nut Tut. 136 and it work without problems.

Sent from awesome Z1
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E3.14demie:
nice!

but i just got my problem solved!

after i flashed the 290 firmware i had to install AGAIN the dual recovery... that as the part that i didn\t do...

now everything is working fine... now i can use a good firewall and save my prepaid and can keep on playing ingress without having skype etc. draining the money from my card
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Amplifiction:
Hello,

I've been trying to root my Sony Xperia V (LT25i) for some time now. I'm after nothing fancy - just root access. I don't even need an unlocked bootloader. Therefore, I'm only open to methods that don't wipe data.

So far, I've tried using Doomlord's easy root kit (v17) and Bin4ry's universal root (v30 and v33).

I have tried using different PC's (Two running Win7 64x and one running Win7 86x), using different USB cables and ports. ADB drivers have been installed on my PC's, using Sony PC Companion and/or the universal ADB driver. I never installed Flash Tool.

USB debugging and "accept apps from unknown sources" have been switched on. My phone was unlocked (on wakelock) during every attempt.

I have tried rooting build 9.2.A.0.295 (latest - Android 4.3) and the official build Sony released before that. (Not sure about that build's number.)

No matter what I do, all the root kits I've tried get stuck on "Daemon running successfully".

Can anyone please tell me what I've missed?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nlooooo:
Still no way to root 4.3 update using those tools, it isn't supported currently.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Amplifiction:
Ok, thanks. I suppose it doesn't matter bringing up my attempts at the previous update - I have 4.3 now. I'll wait :)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lambetts:
Hi guys.

Had many an android and really can't wait till my phone gets the 4.4.2 update, so I can root Haha. Although I was going to wait so that the bootloader gets updated nicely in the process. But, still in my DOA period and having this wierd SMS issue where it will fail from time to time and I have to go into air plane mode or restart to fix it. It sometimes happens with data.

See, there's actually a few bugs this stock rom has like crackling in the video recording etc. So, I'm unsure if it's the rom, or the hardware. I will only know if I install a different rom.

I thought, maybe someone can assist in this, I could get the XSA rom from samobile and flash that. Am I right to say that's the "open" Australian rom? Same as you'd get if you bought a note 3 from a Samsung shop? If it is, I can try that and see if issues are still there before my DOA is up. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance guys.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] HalibutMcGaffigan:
Like a lot of new M5000 users, a lot of the posts on here are quite confusing, so I'll list my queries all in one post.

It seems the M5000 is the HTC Universal, but on the inside of the unit it says 'HTC Innovation'. Is this the same model, and if it is then it's presumably safe to follow the HTC Universal topics?

My M500 had the option to hard-reset, then soft-reset immediately, to save the programs in the extended rom from loading, is there a similar facility for the M5000, and if so, is there a list of the extended rom programs anywhere (like the M500 cab list, that tells you what cab is what program, and what you need to install)?

Again, there seems to be a few roms floating about, but they refer to iMate, etc. Is there a decent upgraded rom for the M5000, or is it safe to flash an Orange M5000 with, say, the iMate rom, for better performance?

Sorry for the questions, but I've trolled the forum a lot in the past 2 days, and things can get a little confusing, without actually giving a definate answer to new M5000 users (trolled it enough to know not the ask about M5000 unlocking ;))

Thanks in advance.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
Geez I had written a lengthy reply but it was eaten by one of those many 'database error' server crash... anyway, I'm a newbie too but i"ll give it a shot:

- Yes your m5000 is a universal.

- Yes hard then soft reset is a valid option to stop all the extra stuff from installing, but you might miss on some performance tweaks and other bits from your operator. Also don't forget to write down your connection settings before you hard reset.

- Using another operator rom on your phone is theoretically possible but AFAIK it has many drawbacks and requires an unlocked phone. See the Modaco forums or buzz's site for more info.

Good luck, and don't forget to share your findings!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aironfaar:
Heya guys,

yesterday, I found that I was in dire need of some more free space on my GT-I9505's internal storage and found that only the contents of /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails were taking up space. After a while of trying to get rid of those files that kept creating themselves again, I followed some advice I read on an Android forum: I deleted the contents of the .thumbnail folder, went to Settings -> Apps and cleared the data of the Gallery and Media Storage apps, respectively, before rebooting the phone.

The contents did disappear for good, but neither Total Commander nor the list of installed apps in the settings nor the Storage summary in the settings showed any different amount of free space than before. To make matters worse, the number didn't even change after I found and deleted about 1 GB of files left by an already uninstalled app, i.e. it seems to be stuck on that value. At the same time, SD Maid tells me that I should have a good 5 GB of free space more than the system is showing. Neither restarting nor wiping the cache and dalvik cache helped.

My rooted GT-I9505 is running this unofficial port of AOKP 4.3, Milestone 1, and version 6.15.6 of PhilZ/CWM Advanced. I'm not sure whether there's more information I might need to provide, other than that the size of the thumbnails files apparently exploded (about 4 GB) when I moved quite a lot of data and obb folders to my external storage using FolderMount.

I didn't find any information about this kind of problem anywhere and am afraid I messed up so badly that I might need to reflash...or worse. Do you have an idea how I can try to fix it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidcore:
This will always be in the sdcard and sdcard/DCIM :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aironfaar:
Thank you for your reply. However, the .thumbnails folder is empty since I deleted its content, cleared the data of the Gallery and Media Storage apps and rebooted as I described in my original post...so apparently, it will not always be there but still take up the space if you mess something up as I did.

Since then, the amount of free space seems to be stuck at the value from before the deletion of the .thumbnails contents, even though I deleted other, considerably large amounts of files since then as well, which should have freed up some more space. That can't be healthy for any kind of storage.

Some error in the file system, perhaps? Maybe some part of the OS keeps the space allocated but forgot what it was allocated for because I cleared the Gallery and Media Storage apps' information about it along with the data? I do not know, neither do I know how to fix it, and I'm getting increasingly worried.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidcore:
no, it's from the rom, every rom will appear .thumbnail

Cache images on the gallery

All will be stored in .thumbnail

I do not know how to fix this :/
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aironfaar:
So you're saying it's controlled by the rom and Media Storage and Gallery merely use system functions or the like to create and manage those thumbnail files? I see, thanks for that information.

I assume that means I'm humped. After all, I made those two apps forget that they told the rom to allocate the space, which the rom apparently still is doing...

I guess I'll try if reflashing the rom will help, but I most probably won't have the time for that for a week or two. Until then, I'd be more than happy and thankful to hear more ideas.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MinChains:
you need a patched kernel as well as modem, this is because the upgrade to 4.3 means that the EFS upgrades to EFS v2, you are going to have to patch it every time you install a new kernel or modem( usually every rom). If you have corrupted the IMEI files, I could be able to send you a "recreated" EFS but unfortunately as this is not strictly legal in some countries, I would require also the country you are from as well as a photo with the battery removed of the IMEI number, Phone serial Number, as well as the Mac address and bluetooth address of the phone, do not post it straight on the forums.

Mods:

Please check if this allowed, as IMEI tempering is a grey area
