I too love this phone and hope users will grow. Big thanks for developing this. I have the C115L, ("Galaxy Zoom2") straight from Korea. Any idea if this will root, or will there be problems if I try?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
Difficult to know, but if it's similar it should work.

Might be worth a try.

At worse if it doesn't work / boot, you should mostly need to re-flash the original stock kernel made for the C115L.

Heimdall on Mac?

Right now I only have access to a Mac (so no Odin), and I'm trying to flash your kernel using Heimdall, but I can't pick either the zip, or the tar.md5 to do anything with, do you have experience how to flash this kernel using heimdall?

Thanks!

Have you tried "triangle away"?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rikerd4d:
"Triangle away" reset system to official but don't change count [emoji17] and if I try the OTA update, Samsung app reveal an unauthorized change of firmware [emoji19]

[MENTION=3951330]timduru[/MENTION]

First off i'll apologize, it is not my intention to hijack your thread.

I was wondering if there might be anything you could do to help out the development of the AT&T Galaxy S4 ZOOM SM-C105A

it is similar to the C101A but has LTE.

I ask because i've had this device for months now and there is 0/Zero Development for the said device.

We do have root but that is where it ends there is a CWMR image for the C101A but it is not only Japanese/or Chinese but it is also non-compatible withe the LTE version "SM-C105A"

I'm hoping that if not you maybe you atleast know of someone who could/would lend a hand

I've been using your kernels and Roms on my TF for Well a long time and lets just say I'm Blown away at your skillset.

if it will help I do have Full DD dumps of my clean yet rooted C105A JB 4.2.2 Stock Factory Image

Thanks in Advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
Not planned to do dév on that nope.

it's quite a pain to do dév when you don't have the device.

Even with the C115, unless maybe it gets a forum here, it has such a low exposure / popularity that it makes it difficult to really organise/do things for it.

Maybe when I'm really bored I'll make KatKiss for it, but for the moment I'm already too busy making KatKiss for the TF101 and TF300T-TF200. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brockyneo:
Hi guys I'm looking at selling my HTC one m8 and getting a k zoom just wounderi will they be custom Roms available or will it not happen

Also how are you guys finding the zoom am I making the right choice lol only thing worrying me is the display

And does this root and flash latest custom recovery so I can at least remove some bloteware lol

Sorry for all the question
[Miscellaneous Android Development] livio80:
With the root, you can make all changes you need and remove all apps, even system apps...so the answer is "yes".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brockyneo:
Hi well I took the plunge and bought the zoom and so far really impressed just want to ask is they any plan on making the kernel support bln so we can have the keys light up as a notification light

Thanks and keep up the good work
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
New Version V005

Download :

Tim_KZoom_KatKernel-3.4.104_005.zip

ChangeLog :

- upgrade from 3.4.95 to latest kernel.org 3.4.104

Also Added KZoom CWM Recovery in the 2nd post

I've added initial support for BLN in a test kernel,

but not sure if it works fine, it seems to require a specific rom side liblight.so too...

So not sure it would be useful unless we update with a new lib.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brockyneo:
Ok thanks for the update flashing now the bln will be nice as it's a good feature to have with us not having a notification light let's hope things pick up if a proper zoom thread apears

Great work btw
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brockyneo:
Just tested bln obviously it didn't work as you say if you need a tester down the line I'm up for helping ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
Ah the BLN test is not included into the V005 I posted since it didn't work, it was in a test kernel I made on the side ;)

Here is the BLN one if you want to test: http://downloads.timduru.org/android/kzoom/katkernel/test/Tim_KZoom_KatKernel-3.4.104_BLN-t1.zip

BLN App detects kernel support with that one it seems but then complains about liblights that does not include BLN support.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brockyneo:
Ah right thanks I'm not sure what liblights means is it something to do with Sammy kernel not having them or something :silly:

sorry your the master I'd just help test if you didn't have the device lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunglebp:
Trying to flash V5 but I get installation aborted everytime?? also is there a KatKernel app for the k zoom? :)

EDIT: Flashed via ODIN and worked but couldnt flash via CWM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
It's made to be flashed via ODIN yep.

K.A.T app will install on the KZoom but , Audio won't work and will need adjustments. ;)

Looking at it, it shouldn't be that complicated, and wow the KZoom has many options,

just considering the volumes, that's already a bunch ;)

And there's quite some volume increase possible :)

Speaker is only 80 by default but can go up to 127 :)

KZoom's Audio HAL tends to reinit its level on first play with an app though, just like the TF300T , bummer.

So that would mean pushing again the K.A.T app volume slider to set it back after you start an app :)

But besides that once I modify the app to auto-detect the kzoom chip specifics,

that should be nice to have :)

Nice and Nice!! :) Mainly wanted KatKernel app for Audio tweaks and sooo glad to see some development for this under-rated device :D:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Very confused..

Im sorry, but what is the difference between this rooting method and file and the one from this thread:

http://www.samsungsfour.com/tutorials/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-k-zoom-using-cf-auto-root.html

And what about the other rotting method by ddevey using the Chainfire Auto Root for Galaxy Note 3 Neo SM-N7505 that supposedly works perfect for the Galaxy K Zoom?

http://androidforums.com/k-zoom-all-things-root/855274-rooted.html

And is the CWM Recovery from the 1st post confirmed working?

Really confused and unfortunately there is not an organized section or forums added for the K Zoom to keep all things net and in place.. I just got my K Zoom today and dont want kill it by mistake before I even try to use it:p

Thanks again for the input..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
This thread is about a new updated custom kernel with different enhancements and updated to 3.4.104.

(see first post for main stuff)

It also contains the autoroot method.

The method will auto-reroot the system in place everytime if somethiing remove the su binary.

So you could simply flash a new samsung /system update (not flashing the stock kernel of course as to not overwrite this one)

Then just reboot and it'll be rooted automatically.

CF-Autoroot for Galaxy note 3 is using a root method through the note3 recovery/kernel,

while it should work ok to root, you'd better reinstall a KZoom recovery / kernel after doing so I think.

You will also have to reroot manually everytime , and well it doesn't install a new kernel or fixes like this one, it's just for root.

If you want just root I've also made a stock kernel with autoroot and sd card fix.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
timduru, thanks A LOT for all the detailed info!!! One question, accessing the micro SD access any easier after rooting or applying a patch (and which one) or whats the stats on that?.. all my phones I run Cyanogen and of course, no probs.. this is the first time I am forced to use a Samsung ROM.. aaaarghhh:(

Will go ahead and follow with the flashing as you recomend:) Thanks agin:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
Yes, the fix is included if you flash this kernel.

Non system apps with media permission will be able to access the MicroSD.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Thanks much:)

I have flashed CWM Recovery but cant get into it. What is the key press sequence to enter the recovery? Ive tried all sorts of combinations and only get, a black screen, a normal reboot, or nothing at all..:rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
Volume up + Home + power.

You can release power once you see the logo, while still holding volume up and home, otherwise the phone could turn back off again.

Black screen issue can occur as indicated in post #2, especially after flashing.

Just make sure you reboot into the rom, then shutdown, then try again.

Maybe try also to reflash in case something didn't work properly.

But sometime it can take 2-3 tries before it goes through. Not sure why.

But I didn't get the black screen issue for a while if I just shutdown , then boot into the recovery with the key combination.

It goes right into CWM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Got it, thanks much. Takes me endless tries because I always get the black screen.. Maybe my unit is more finicky. But with enough tries and restarts I can eventually get into recovery. Hopefully one day theblack screen issue by can be polished out. Thanks again:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunglebp:
Had a weird thing happen after I upgraded to V5 the camera button / auto focus would not work on Auto Camera setting but would work on other camera settings, back to V4 and all ok
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
Works fine for me on V5.

I don't think it's related to the kernel.

Maybe an app update or something and the reboot to flash V4 cured it ?

I have a C115 XEF, What exact model do you have ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunglebp:
SM-C115, yeah reflash to v4 fixed it..V strange as happens only when v5

thanks for taking the time i really hope this phone pics up as its a great device and my battery life is great its better the my htc one m8 :victory:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Does this Kernel support changing Boot animation via bootanimation.zip inside /System/Media? I know the stock Boot animation file from Samsung is another stupid format..

Thanks much for the info:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
it depends on the rom, not the kernel.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] VeEuzUKY:
Oh I was totally under the impression the Kernel makes the changing of bootanimation possible or not. Thanks for the information. I guess cant change it on the stock TouchWiz ROM. I dont think there will be other ROMs for the K Zoom.. this is proving to be a really unpopular device with few adapters.. In fact the more I use it the more I like it.. its really fast, great size, the screen is amazing. The downside is that Samsung put a crappy lens on it that is not sharp and doesn't make justice of the sensor.. Rarely do I take a photo that is sharp, unless in very idea lighting situations and mid-range zoom.. both ends, wide and tele are extremely soft.. anyway, thanks for this Kernel and getting it rooted and with an available recovery. Its a great phone:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] flex0r:
Okay so it's not possible yet to flash new firmware using CWM, then why have CWM in the first place? Always nice to have of course...! Looking forward to the future

Works like charm!

I am trying to add some drivers for Samsungs USB to ethernet adapter (0). So I downloaded your sources from github (1) and try to build it following this (2). But that is not working so well right now.

Can you give me a hint what commands you use to build this?

Thanks a lot!

(0) www (dot) samsung (dot) com/de/consumer/mobile-device/accessories/accessories-mobile-phones/ET-UP900UBEGWW

(1) github (dot) com/timduru/kzoom-katkernel

(2) xda-university (dot) com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-a-kernel-from-source
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
On the K.A.T app side, currently I can control the headphones and speaker volumes,

so you gain from 86 to 127.

Other things are still not working, so will need more work ;)

No progress on BLN lib.

Should build fine like a regular kernel.

You mostly need to setup the toolchain to compile for arm,

The first time just copy the katkernel config: cp arch/arm/configs/katkernel .config

then config / build like a regular kernel:

make menuconfig

make bzImage

make modules
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pi_dev:
Thanks!

make bzImage is throwing me an error:

arch/arm/include/asm/cacheflush.h:20:22: fatal error: mach/smc.h: No such file or directory

Looks like the file is missing in git.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
Just tried it from a fresh git clone here, and it works fine for me.

Did you change something in the config , or is that with the katkernel config file ?

Also just to make sure: did you notice the "dot" in front of the filename when copying it ? (.config )

You need to copy it into the root directory of where you downloaded the sources.

Basically do exactly that:

git clone git@github.com:timduru/kzoom-katkernel.git
cd kzoom-katkernel
cp arch/arm/configs/katkernel .config
make menuconfig (only if you need to change something in the conf)
make bzImage
make modules
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pi_dev:
You made my day!

I must had something messed up before. After I cleaned up

git checkout; git clean -f

it worked as you said.

What I did before to make it work if someone else needs it. I started from a clean vagrant:

vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
vagrant up
vagrant ssh

# download NDK into /home/vagrant/android/ndk
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential kernel-package libncurses5-dev bzip2
# update gcc see askubuntu (dot) com/questions/113291/how-do-i-install-gcc-4-7

export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/vagrant/android/ndk/android-ndk-r10b/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-
export ARCH=arm

followed by your stuff:

Now i collected the build into an /output folder

mkdir output
cp arch/arm/boot/zImage output/
find . -name "*.ko" -exec cp {} output \;
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pi_dev:
Me again. Hope I am not too annoying with my noob questions.

I unpacked your image Tim_KZoom_KatKernel-3.4.104_005.tar.md5 added my kernel and copied the kernel modules into /lib/modules/ repacked it ODIN stucked with "NAND Write Start". Luckily it's not bricked :)

Maybe you can tell me, what you use to unpack/repack the boot.img and add the md5 checksum?

Did you compile with arm-linux-androideabi-4.6 or arm-linux-androideabi-4.4?

Is maybe the boot.img with 11,7MB simply to large?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] timduru:
I'm not sure what are the limits of the blob for samsung.

I used the Linaro 4.10 toolchain to compile.

Also technically you should put your modules into /system/lib/modules but not into the kernel blob.

You might be better to just copy them there manually after just flashing your new kernel blob, as to save space.

You don't really need to bother generating the md5 checksum and all, you can just put the blob in a .tar for yourself, ODIN will work fine with that.

to repack the blob you can just use:

mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisk.cpio.gz -o boot.img

Download odin and download the stock rom. I will provide links below. Then go to recovery mod in your phone by pressing home+power+volume down button. then press volume up button n your phone will go to recovery mood. On your phone screen there will be writen download. Connect phone to PC n Load your downloaded stock rom in Odin and flash. Tada..... you are done.

stock rom. C115 version (http://www.mrcrab.net/stockrom/sm-c115.html) file is big so pls be patient and the download from rapidagator is slow.

odin :- (http://odindownload.com/)
