Changing output zip image file name

Hi,

I was wondering how to change the file name of the final os zip image (automatically after the build process finishes)? Am planning to upload the zip to some server (using some script), but I need to know the file name ahead.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirackh:
Thank you, I have read that part. But I was wondering if I could change the file name BEFORE the build even starts. I can use the mv command to rename or move after the it finishes.

Simply, I want to set a parameter before the build starts (if any) saying I want the final zip file name to be cm-my-build.zip

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidSlave:
Anything can be done with scripting, but I don't think Jenkins itself could do that. You would have to modify the build script (I.e., the CM build script, not Jenkins) at the point where the zip itself gets created.

Way too much of a haste for way to little benefit.

Is there a reason why you don't want to just use mv afterwards as part of your build script? The '*' variable makes it so it can always find the right file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirackh:
I can do it with the mv command. But am building multiple times a day, so I want to identify these builds individually. Right now if am building all I get is this <cm-11-20150603-UNOFFICIAL-flo.zip> every time. I can't tell if it was generated right now or earlier in the day.

One trick I can use is to delete the zip file once I moved it to my own target directory. So every time there will be a unique zip file in the $OUT directory.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidSlave:
You should add the time parameter to the filename when you use mv to rename it. Then it will have a timestamp too, and you can know what is newest

You could also write a script using an 'if' command
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirackh:
I will. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidSlave:
You can also set it to auto upload to the server via ftp etc, then immediately delete if that operation is successful, or move to another folder that you store the uploaded files in , in case an upload gets borked

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kari458:
Hey.

I've been working recently with my brother's AT&T i777 Samsung Galaxy S2. I couldn't root it at first, then i found the note that i777 does not have the bootloader lock, and then i proceeded with installation of CM stable version, step by stop, according to this page:

Install_CM_for_i777 (cannot post links)

So...i downloaded file, renamed it and placed it in my Galaxy S2 internal memory (the same folder where i put files to my Galaxy Nexus).

Phone does not have stock recovery, so i thought about flashing it via Odin after changing file format in Total Commander.

Anyway, i took out battery, placed it in again and...BANG! Phone only boots while on charger or USB cable. I am able to get it into Download mode. That's why i tried to repair it using almost all firmwares (via Odin 1.85), i used Siyah kernel to get it right, and i even flashed the proper bootloader to make it move. On the way, i also flashed some i777 firmwares that were already rooted. No results.

IT ONLY SHOWS THE EMPTY BATTERY SCREEN, FLASHES, AND BACK AGAIN. LOOP.

I would reallly, Reallllly appriciate help.

Thanks!

You've mentioned a lot in your post, some of which isn't very clear to me, so I'm going to ask a few questions in an effort to fully understand where you are. (I'm less worried about how you got there).

The immediate goal will be to get your pone booting into the stock samsung distribution.

We'll cover rooting and custom firmware later.

You are able to get into boot mode (that's a good sign), but are you flashing the stock UCMD8 firmware via desktop Odin?

If no, then flash the stock UCMD8 firmware (see sig)

If yes, when the flash is complete, does the screen show the result: pass?

-Cyril
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kari458:
Yup

Thank you for your answer and concern Cyril. But i don't know how (i'm still wondering why) i managed to get it right. In rage, i pushed the battery from the model i9100 (GSM Galaxy S2) and....it BOOTED! The rom and kernel was not right so i flashed already rooted version of firmware 2.3.6 and from that step, when i noticed i had superuser, i installed CM 10.2 stable ROM. During the process of installation of CM 10.2 i had to switch batteries (at most 3 times change battery in order to push phone to recovery and escape bootloop during installation of gapps). Now the phone works well with both batteries and is safe and sound. BUT STILL!!! I wonder why it reacted on the battery from i9100 model? Why this was the factor the phone needed to procede with further modifications? Any ideas? Feed my curiousity, lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I've raged on this device a time or three myself, I promise.

The most abnormal part of each of your posts is the battery involvement. You shouldn't have to touch the battery at all for recovery mode, download mode, or flashing, so I would guess that you're up against dirty or failing charge port, a near-dead or failing OEM battery, or similar issue which made your flashing journey more troublesome than it should have been.

There are several posts [like this one] about troubles using i9100 batteries. They fit and function, but exhibit undesirable charging issues, which consequently tend to get blamed on some other aspect of the device.

The symptoms of a dirty or failing charge port also commonly mis-direct users to blame firmware, batteries, and everything-else.

[General Questions and Answers] theslick:
Hi guys.

I've been looking online but can't seem to find a straight-forward answer to this question.

I was just wondering if, e.g. one MT6582 based android device's preloader.bin file can be used on a completely different MT6582 based device, or if their preloaders are tailored specifically for each MT6582 based device (almost like how a fingerprint would be unique to just one person).

tnx.
[General Questions and Answers] ZeroX7C:
If a preloader (say, preloader_deviceA.bin) has the same codename (deviceA) as the device you're using (deviceA), then it's fine.

For instance, the Elephone P2000 and iBerry Auxus Note 5.5 have the exact same specifications (say for a few slight changes here and there), so they should be able to use the same preloader.
[General Questions and Answers] VD171:
So, can I use older preloaders for newer firmwares versions if they are exactly for the specific same device?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Noctis_:
I've been trying to figure this out for the last day, with no success.

I've got a rooted Note 3 N9005 (MJ7) stock. this is a 4.3 Rom. Knox status is0x0 (didn't trip it when I've rooted it ages ago).

I had enough of sammy rom, and I want to play with some of the new 4.4.4 custom roms.

I'm totally and utterly lost regarding what's tripping knox, and what are the needed steps in order to achieve that.

From what I understand, flashing TWRP (or any other custom recovery) will trip knox. I'm fine with that.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to first upgrade my 4.3 to an official 4.4.2, and what / if is all the lock/unlock bootloader which seems to differ between versions (4.3 and 4.4). There also seem to be different versions of TWRP depending on if you're on 4.3 or 4.4?

Can I simply flash TWRP on my rooted 4.3, backup, flash new shinny 4.4.4 rom, and be happy ? Will that keep the root ?

Otherwise, do i need to upgrade to official 4.4.2 version first? will that lose root and I'll have to reroot the new version, and then flash TWRP and then flash 4.4.4 roms?

Any kind of help (or point me to an article that discusses it, even though I didn't find any, and i've searched) will be highly appreciated.

Cheers and thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
If you aren't concerned about KNOX, upgrade to a 4.4 ROM (Official) via ODIN which will upgrade the bootloader, then once that's all done, flash TWRP for 4.4 then download your ROMs and flash via TWRP as normal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Noctis_:
Not concerned any more ...

Out of curiosity, what exactly kills the root? flashing a rom doesn't. upgrading via odin ? I'm assuming it has nothing to do with the system/cache, since each flash usually wipes them, so, where does it live?

Cheers
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Reflashing the ROM back to stock is what kills root. It's easy to re-root again once you've tripped KNOX anyways.

But tbh, once you install a custom recovery after you've upgraded your boot loader, you won't need to root. It isn't required for custom recovery

Sent from my Spectrum ZX +2

EDIT: Have you used ODIN to flash stock images before? If not, have a read around, it's pretty straight forward though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Noctis_:
I see ... so -> flash stock (kills root) -> flash TWRP (trips knox) -> flash custom rom without worrying about root ? (wouldn't i need it for titanium backup ,or do custom roms come with SU preinstalled?)

Yep, used odin. file on comp, download mode, couple of ticks, clicky clicky, happiness ensues ... :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Yeah you're pretty much spot on. Yeah most ROMs are pre-rooted and if they aren't you can just flash superSU via your recovery. But you should be good to go and know what you're doing by the sounds of it.

Enjoy flashing them ROMs and make an efs backup and store off the device too. There's an adb script for it here (forget where but its here, development thread I think) don't use any apps from the play store as they are notorious for bricking Samsung devices.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Noctis_:
lol ...notorious for bricking samsung devices ... i like it ...

i ran one already (zipped a 6MB and a 14.5MB image and tar into a 300kb zip), and been told you can do that from inside TWRP as well ...

I'll take a deep breath, and start downloading the official image and roms ...

I'll update if i'll get to the other side :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Noctis_:
out of curiosity ... does it matter which official 4.4.2 image i'm flashing ? (i'm getting the NZ one ...but i assume they should all be similar, and / or that it doesn't matter since i'll be flashing something else on it anyways, right ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:

Yeah, definitely. It outscores the GeForce ULP in the Tegra 3 by 2x-10x depending on the benchmark, and specifically handles the higher resolution (like the 1080p at which these devices tend to run) much better.

The listing on Amazon says that it supports up to 4 controllers with the 'direct input' mode, however I tried using the direct input mode and it seemed to not want to use the d pad and all of the buttons performed the same action. Using 'xinput' (I think this just emulates the Xbox controller input) everything mapped perfectly and all was well, the bad news is that it can only do 1 controller at a time using this method, so you'd need 1 usb adapter per controller. Also I have only 1 Wii U Pro controller so I don't have any way to test if multiple controllers even work with the direct input mode, it's worked perfectly with 'xinput' so I haven't moved it from there.

Its hard to see there but on the side there's a toggle switch that lets you pick between 'dinput' and 'xinput'.

If the app you want to "sideload" is in the normal Play store, all you have to do is load up the Play store on your computer then click install and select your Nexus Player as the device.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.tv.sideloadlauncher&hl=en

If you have an apk you'd rather install manually, you'll have to use adb and an a cable or use ES File Explorer (or equivalent) to transfer the apk from your computer/etc over wifi. There are already a few topics in these threads that discuss how.

I got the same error with the (non-free) non-lite version of GNES. Tried the (free) lite version and that works fine (version 1.5.4). I'm not too experienced with sideloading, but perhaps the non-free nature of the full version of SuperGNES is the issue? The free version sucks though, since you can't load saved states, so it seems I can't continue my progress even though the ROM in question has save functionality.
