[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
I've been waiting for agrabren to drop his cm code for several months now. Guess that kid really did swallow him whole. Well, I got tired of waiting and decided to see if I could get cm to build myself. Heh, not so much. I can't even get cwm to build and boot correctly. So, I'm here to see if someone can point out what I'm doing wrong.

Here's what I did to build. Pulled CM 11.0 and set up the build directories. Copied device/nvidia and vendor/nvidia from the most recent shield tree. Copied the kernel from the shield tree into device/nvidia/roth and modified the configs to build from there. I modified some of the configs and made cm.mk based off the tf701t port which also uses a tegra 4. A lunch and a couple makes later, I got a recovery.img, but it's too big. 8.2MB won't fit in a 8 MB partition. The kernel came out at 5.9 MB and the ramdisk-recovery.img is 2.3 MB. In an official shield build, the ramdisk-recovery.img is 777KB. I know cwm has a lot more in it, but I seem to be missing something to shave 200KB off it. BoardConfig.mk has the recovery partition size set to 8MB, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Is there something somewhere that can be used to strip less useful stuff out the recovery image?

Thanks for any help,

Steel01
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
I was previously working on cm but failed as I don't have the device. I suggest building the aosp 4.3 for the shield then work your way up to cm

http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?...;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=rel-roth-r3-partner

My idea was to see what's needed and not needed as a lot won't be used in cm.
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
I've got the device and some development knowledge, but a complete lack of android build system knowledge.

I've got the nvidia 4.3 recovery to build (on a VM since it's less tolerant of JDKs than cm), the rest should compile easily enough. So if I was to build up from there, what kind of process would I be looking at? I would presume start with replacing the recovery with cwm. If so, where am I looking to replace stuff at?

Do you still have any of the work you had started?

Steel01
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
Yes, getting the recovery booting is the first thing.I can't really help right now but in a few hours or so I will pm you here's the github i'm going to be working at (removed) as you see there's not really anything there. I'm working on making the device tree work in a cm tree. It will probably be a while before my aosp build finishes. If you wish to chat on hangouts pm your email address .
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
Thanks, pm sent. Guess I'll fire off a full aosp build so we'll have the same trees available at that time.

Steel01

Edit: Today's just not my day. None of my builds from nvidia's aosp 4.3 r3 tree boot. A normal boot hangs at the shield logo. The recovery gives me the red triangle (not terribly surprised since nvidia's official gives me that too, only agrabren's cwm recovery works for me). I didn't think too much of it when I built off of openjdk 1.6, but now that I pulled sun's 1.6-41 and it still doesn't boot, I'm a bit miffed. Shouldn't be a reason why I can't build off CentOS. Maybe I'll load up a Debian or Mint VM and try building off that. I really don't want to touch Ubuntu which all the android docs are written for...
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
Okay, so I don't feel so bad anymore. The kernel boots fine. But the system image generated from the official shield tree doesn't. It starts the boot animation and hangs. But I have adb and complete shell access. Wipes don't help. Which if I was to guess means I have a java problem on the build VM. The C only kernel is fine, but nothing else works right. Big surprise there. That or something like the graphics blob didn't get packaged in. I'll play with it some more and might be able to build a working system by the time Unjustified Dev pushes some code up...

Steel01

Edit: And according to a logcat, I'm missing some so's. Don't know if I missed a build failure or if the official tree is broken.
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
Did you get the closed source binaries extracted?
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
Yeah I did. I'm running another build and capturing the output this time to see if there's a build failure. The files the log was complaining about are in a vendor prebuilt folder, but didn't get copied to out like most of the other files in that directory did. If this build does the same, I'll hand copy the files into the out directory and hope the command to build the system image just globs that directory.

Steel01
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
I suggest creating a better call to vendor blobs you can clearly find which ones are needed create an extract-files.sh script as so. I've began partially haven't had time to work on it. I chose a nvidia device because some of the blobs are the same naming less time.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_asus_tf700t/blob/cm-11.0/extract-files.sh

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_asus_tf700t/blob/cm-11.0/proprietary-files.txt

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_asus_tf700t/blob/cm-11.0/setup-makefiles.sh
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
Ah, okay. It would be better to base off the tf701t, though. It's a tegra 4 device whereas the tf700t is a tegra 3. I'll see what I come up with after I flash stock back.

Steel01
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
Actually I was just looking at it. We have an advantage we already have a device tree and I like their layout so I'm going to copy that when I have time and build from it.

Still some unsolved things I will discuss later
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
Yeah, that would make it much simpler. I had that device tree building inside the cm11 repo a couple days ago, but I broke the kernel build somewhere along the way and haven't figured out what I did yet.

I'm currently working on getting the blob list together. Skimming the tf701t down to what exists on the shield, then building up from there. Will probably take a couple days with my schedule though, so you might beat me through it.

Steel01
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
I got latest ota image from nvidia and extracted the system.img will be tomorrow when I finish gathering all blobs and I will send you a pm. once we get cwm working we can move forward wish the guy who compiled it got a change to upload his source so I can see how to do the dtb stuff . I know someone who can help I will contact them tomorrow
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
Okay, great. I Got a hack of cm build together using the attached proprietary-files.txt and a prebuilt kernel from the shield tree. Ended up missing a couple so's, but I'm done for the night. Once you get the device tree to compile, can you push that to the github org and give me access to it?

On the dtb issues, doesn't the normal kernel compile output the dtb?

The official BoardConfig sets:

TARGET_USE_DTB := true

TARGET_KERNEL_DT_NAME := tegra114-roth

BOOTLOADER_SUPPORTS_DTB := true

Then kernel.mk sets:

KERNEL_DTS_PATH := $(KERNEL_PATH)/arch/$(TARGET_ARCH)/boot/dts/$(TARGET_KERNEL_DT_NAME).dts

BUILT_KERNEL_DTB := $(NV_KERNEL_INTERMEDIATES_DIR)/arch/$(TARGET_ARCH)/boot/$(TARGET_KERNEL_DT_NAME).dtb

and further down calls

+$(hide) $(kernel-make) $(TARGET_KERNEL_DT_NAME).dtb

That correctly gives me the dtb file. Though, chances are there are other lines I missed that affect it.

Steel01
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
I read that from the OC kernel thread and it's 1am here so I'm done for the night as well. I am giving you permission to CM-Shield right now. I already cloned tf701 device tree and renamed it. I was working on adding in the files from nvidia tree some are going to go prebuilt might need some patches from nvidia git as well not so sure right now. I really need to get this device. Blindly working isn't much fun. As far as I know you use fastboot flash dtb that dtb is never updated and might not be needed not sure yet I have never had to deal with dtb.
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
Alright. If you haven't got the dtb stuff straightened out by the time I get back to my dev machine tomorrow night, I'll tackle that. I've had some hobbyist experience with that on some embedded dev boards. In general, I wouldn't think the dtb would ever change. Definitely not within a kernel version. Definitely needed, though. But in the spirit of open source and building as much as possible from source, it will be good to make that build. Shouldn't be too difficult. And yes, 1:30 AM does bad things to cognizance. *passes out*

Steel01

Edit: I took a look at the tf701t kernel tree this morning. The dtb part may already be done if we base from there. A dts file already exists for roth (arch/arm/boot/dts) and the make file a dir up appears to glob the dts directory and build dtb's for each. I don't have access to a build tree to verify that atm, though. Bit if that's true, the kernel should be as simple as cloning tf701t, renaming its defconfig and modifying what little differences there are if any, then copying the dtb to the out directory.

Edit 2: A bit of googling turned up http://www.armadeus.com/wiki/index.php?title=Kernel-with-device-tree which says a config flag handles building dtb's. The tf701t config already sets CONFIG_MACH_ROTH=y, so I'm wondering if that kernel won't boot on the shield out of the box. Something I'll try once I get back to my dev machine tonight.
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
Well, I did get the dtb to build using the CM-Shield device tree and the kernel from tf701t. Haven't been able to test yet, though. And it was kind of a hack, but I don't know a better place to plug it than modules. In BoardConfig.mk after the two target kernel lines:

KERNEL_DTB:

*tab* make -C $(KERNEL_OUT) ARCH="arm" CROSS_COMPILE="arm-eabi-" tegra114-roth.dtb

*tab* mv $(KERNEL_OUT)/arch/arm/boot/tegra114-roth.dtb $(OUT)

TARGET_KERNEL_MODULES := KERNEL_DTB

That should probably pull arch and compiler prefix from cm env cars, but I don't know what they are. The dtb name should also be set as a const. Once I see if the kernel boots in a couple hours, I'll push my device branch up. Only kernel change was renaming the defconfig.

Steel01
[Shield Q&A] Unjustified Dev:
So far going to push unmodified kernel now https://github.com/CM-Shield/android_device_nvidia_roth
[Shield Q&A] Steel01:
Progress finally. Got a cwm recovery that boots and looks like it works plus fits in the partition. Most of the buttons aren't mapped yet and the screen is rotated, but that should be the east part to fix.

Hi, I can't get my computer, Lenovo y410p running Windows 8.1 to recognize my Nexus 4 in the file explorer. The Nexus Root Toolkit also will say "no fastboot device connected" when it is plugged in via USB port. However,

Stock Nexus 4

4.4.2

Kernel 3.4

Build number kot49h

Computer won’t recognize phone in file explorer.

Enabling USB debugging has no effect.

Enabling and disabling MTP has no effect either.

However, when I am connected in MTP mode my comp recognizes the phone in the “safely remove hardware and eject media” in the notification area of the taskbar.

I can connect in Camera (PTP) mode – my computer will show my phone in the file explorer.

I’m using a Lenovo y410p running windows 8.1

I’ve used the Nexus root toolkit to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and this hasn’t fixed the problem.

I’ve also used the device manager to uninstall all drivers and this hasn’t fixed the problem.

I’ve tried 3 different USB cables – this hasn’t fixed the problem.

I don’t have a fast charge app installed.

I want to root the phone so that I can use Button Remapper to assign one of my volume buttons to be my power button. My power button is currently broken, forcing me to use Awesome On to turn my phone’s screen on and off. I’d also like to be able to load music on to my phone.

If anybody has any idea wtf is wrong with my phone I’d love for some help. Thanks.

Sounds like you are missing the CORRECT USB drivers, (note the windows ones don't always work) try PDAnet for an easy installation of them, then check ADB drivers, as said above the command "fastboit devices" is a good guide to your connection.

I want to upgrade my MDA Pro with a Qtek ROM as can be found on the XDA Developers FTP site. As far as I know I followed every step in the tutorials on this forum. The flashing of the ROM works.

On startup - as the PIN code screen appears - I get a Device Lock message stating that this is an illegal ROM that is not intended for the device. The device than hard resets and the Windows Mobile 2005 initialization begins...again.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastnButter:
So listen you cherry pies, I'm a flashoholic, just got my Moto G a few days ago, thought I'll never have to root but am already thinking about reflashing this mother****er.

For now, as CM11 seems to be miserably unstable, I'm leaning towards going GPE on my Tesco UK Moto G.

But, I like some of the motorola services: one so in particular - the remote wipe/lock/etc. in case of phone being stolen.

So the questions are:

If I flash the GPE rom to my non-gpe Moto G, will I be able to receive OTA updates?

Let's say I've flashed CM11. Now I want to go back to stock firmware. If I do so, will I be able to use Motorola apps such as Assist, and more importantly, use the remote wipe/lock feature?

Is it possible to re-lock bootloader, like restoring the whole device's software to its OOB state?

Thanks!

Oh and just to clarify:

can I use this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 guide to flash KOT49H (GPE) firmware on my Tesco UK Moto G?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastnButter:
Please, anyone?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forgotter:
1. If you flash gpe rom, your system files would be modified. You will further not receive any updates from Motorola moto G but will be eligible for updates from Google GPE.

2.Definitely yes, flashing a rom modifies only software not hardware so as soon as you will be back to stock moto OS, the moto apps will start supporting your device and most probably your rom.

3. You may be able to relock your boot loader but your warranty will be void. Whenever anyone unlock its boot loader it communicates with moto site to get unlock key and at very time loses its warranty.

You can try that method but maintain all precautions and do have a backup.
