[Miscellaneous Android Development] mowny:
Hello,

I have an Ulefone Power (MTK6753), and ulefone just released Android 6. The archive they link to at ulefone.com/download/power.html generously includes not only boot.img, but also kernel, ramdisk.img and other stuff, but apparently not the tools needed to assemble the components. I already noticed ramdisk.img is just a gzipped cpio archive, and that the stuff I want to change (ro.debuggable=0 to 1) is right at the start.

The content of the ramdisk.img is embedded in the boot.img from 6C3800h/7092224d to 8930FAh/8990970d.

If I just make that one tiny change (edit the un-gzipped cpio archive directly, which is fortunately without checksums, and gzip that), do I need to go through the whole hassle of un- and repacking the boot.img, where I don't know the offsets of anything other than that ramdisk, or can I just use HxD or dd seek=13852 to overwrite the old ramdisk.img with the modified one, keeping the rest intact?

Or are there checksums elsewhere that will cause this to fail?

I just want to make the smallest changes possible so I don't break anything elsewhere.

Besides, the scripts won't repack properly anyway, ramdisk is size zero.

Further examination shows that the mkbootfs in the v1.1 32-bit archive is in fact an ELF 64-bit LSB executable.

BTW: You put "" around the calls to the subscripts in the main script, but not around the calls to the binaries in the subscripts, which should have "$unpackbootimg", "$imageinfo", "$minigzip" etc. so it will work in a path containing blanks.

And in main script line 361, replace scripts with "$scripts" so the Instructions are found :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Thank you very much for this complete report! I would like to receive more like this to be able to fix things since I'm working alone. Thanks to you I discovered that I switched the mkbootfs executables between the two windows versions :)

About pointed flaws you mentioned I'll fix them in short time.

Now let's talk about that boot image you have. I'm not sure if I understood right, you have a boot image and the kernel and ramdisk used to compose that boot img? And you want to make some changes in ramdisk without breacking the checksum. Well if you make any change to that boot image, even if you rename it to boot1.img and then back to boot.img the checksum will breack. But you can use a md5 tool to add initial sha id to the patched image. Anyway that is used only in flashtool not in kernel or phone. And for your actual question, if the boot img you have is what you need and is the one it works in your phone, to change those lines in default.prop you can unpack that boot image change that line repack back and rewrite the md5 hash (if you need this). If you want to edit only the ramdisk archive and then to pack that with the kernel you have you need the repacking arguments because those are checked in uboot and the phone won't start if they don't match. When you unpack the bootimage, the kitchen will save those in separate files (offsets) and repack back with same arguments.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Thanks [MENTION=7477522]mowny[/MENTION]!

I paid more attention and repacked all versions with correct arch executables and corrected few things in the main script.

All links are new and point to the corrected archives.

Thanks a lot [MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION] for this beautiful kitchen...

Your kitchen was the only one that could unpack & repack the latest Samsung firmware for the Samsung S4 :)

(I'm sure I tried all the others)

Thanks for keeping hanging around android [MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION] ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bovirus:
[MENTION=5186178]carliv[/MENTION]

I found that you made a silent update to your tool without change the version and without any info in the first post.

You changed one file: mkbootfs.exe (now is dated 28.05.2016)

I believe could be useful ffor all users

- to have a detailed changelog for any changes

- to change the version with subversion letter (ex. to 1.1a) to check that the version is updated.

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
It's not an update it's a fix, I corrected few errors. The kitchen scripts, the source of binaries are the same. I already mention that few posts back. That doesn't qualify as an update.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] qooqoo:
sorry for this new thread but i have searched all wiki and part of forum and i haven't found any solutions.

Q1 - In LVSW rom, autorun is enabled, but in Black edition, it is disabled. can any one tell me how to modify this, i think it was defined in registry.:D but where? i found some things here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]

"AutoRun"="\\Windows\\autorun.exe"

"AutoRunCFG"="\\Windows\\config.txt"

"AutoRunFlag"=dword:1

"AutoRunType"=dword:1

"TurnRadioFlag"=dword:0

Q2 - how to modify OS vesion which is displayed in Device Information.. for example:

LVSW's os vesion is always 3.22.200.2

Black 1.2 is 3.22.200.4 but Black v2.0 is Pro Black 2.0

thanks in advance.:p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Halldor:
I am not sure on your first question??

On question nr.2 this can not be any simpler. I searched the registry for the phrase "Pro Black" and found the key and changed it to whatever and that showed up under device information.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eluth:
Extended ROM autorun is achieved by the following 4 steps:

1. include checkautorun.exe and checkautorun.lnk under \windows in your ROM

2. make sure that checkautorun.lnk is in \Windows\Startup. This is done with a line like

Directory("\Windows\StartUp"):-File("CheckAutoRun.lnk","\Windows\CheckAutoRun.lnk")

in initflashfiles.dat

3. add the following registry keys (or make sure they are there):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]
"AutoRunType"=dword:0
"AutoRunCFG"="\\Extended_ROM\\config.txt"
"AutoRun"="\\Extended_ROM\\autorun.exe"

4.Then of course you will need to have an extended rom with autorun.exe and config.txt + other stuff in it to run.

I hope this helps.

[XDA Assist] :
First off I'm not rooted...no pc to work with. That said, I received an OTA to my device last week. Went from a zv4 to a zv5. ALL my apps then updated by themselves * I wasn't even asked to accept these updates oddly enough. I'm not happy that there's no documents of this with either LG or my carrier since I'm now only able to use LTE or G3..Both operating very poorly at that. Phone keeps freezing, mms messages not coming in for hrs. after being sent, keyboard acting buggy as well. Wasn't too bad with exception of internet untill today. Progressively getting worse and more rapidly by the hr. Anybody know what's up? Any help? LG is saying there was no update. Boost says the same. This is a device upgrade ~ custumer service at LG is lying to me. Have seen two other people on another site ... they seem content~ I'm not. Can send system/partions info....

[Hardware Hacking General] _PR3DATOR_:
hi there

just wanna know if it is possible or not to upgrade smartphone hardware like in desktop computer... etc ?

thx devs
[Hardware Hacking General] Hitorijanae:
With the exception of Project Ara, no. The reason for this is because, as smartphones are designed to be light on space, and extremely efficient, almost all of the components are directly soldered to the motherboard, and are so small that they're almost transparent when you look at them from the side. Therefore, until modular phones are available, this is both impossible and impractical.
[Hardware Hacking General] QwerLoL:
Yes it actually is,but many people say its not.If you have phone like for example galaxy s 3 and yoy whant to have more ram you can find out ram fot galaxy s 4 and change it.It has the same size but im not sure is any phone service doing that.U can upgrade normal memory with SD card,if you still whant more you can buy bigger SD card.I think that noone needs SD bigger than 8gb
[Hardware Hacking General] alray:
So tell me more, I'm a little skeptical about what you said...

Knowing that the RAM is embedded in the same chip as the CPU and GPU (SoC) (Exynos 4412 4 on SGS3 and Exynos 5410 on SGS4). You are saying that the consumer or a repair shop can remove the 4412 from a his SGS3 and replace it with a 5410? Even if both chips aren't the same architecture? Are they soldered to the motherboard?

Would love to see some references...

Yeah obviously, not really an upgrade to the phone memory itself but more like adding on some parallel memory. And not all phones can use sd cards, even some high end phones can't.
[Hardware Hacking General] QwerLoL:
Parallel memory isnt possible to add right now,maby it ll be possible for few years but not now :/ That what i said for RAM cant really help you.I said its possible to change ram but not like in home.There are some companies making phones with material you whant (u tell them how much ram and internal nemory you whant,soo its the same phone with changed ram memory) there are some Chinese companies what are doing that i hope you can understand what i was trying to say...:) Andswer for your first question is No you cant change ram and int mem by your self :) tell me what ever you whant about hardware and ...other rooting,unbricking things...
[Hardware Hacking General] _PR3DATOR_:
so maybe forget about project ara as this phone will not have the design like iPhones... nexus phones with that gorgeous design... etc

[Hardware Hacking General] SysGhost:
Android device are often using SoC solutions. (SoC: System on a Chip)

That means the whole system, CPU, GPU, RAM, wireless networks, bluetooth, Storage, I/O, GPS, Sensors, etc... are all integrated into one single chip. It is that what makes smartphones so efficient in power consumption and size.

There are other support-chips around the main SoC chip, but these usually handle lesser functions such as extra storage space, USB on the Go functionality etc...

[Hardware Hacking General] Cusciolino:
HI,

so, maybe is it possible to install a more powerfull camera module on a device like Htc One S?

For exapmle a front camera (from HTC One Mini) of 2Mpx instead of 0,3mpx camera of Htc One S.

Must I port libraries and Api to make it work? Or is it impossible?
[Hardware Hacking General] SysGhost:
Technically it is possible. But practically "doable" I'm not so sure of.

Most android-devices happen to use a common "camera interface" for the camera hardware-module.

But the layout, form factor, connector placement etc can be very different between the various Android models out there.

One cannot simply take a camera module from one model, and fit it inside another. Just the connector itself alone can vary heavily between models, not to mention the "flat flex cable" arrangement.

These reasons alone make it very hard to fit one camera module inside another device.

But let's pretend that one can find a camera module that does fit perfectly inside the phone in question, or that one is skilled enough to perform the modifications needed:

The Linux Kernel module.

Yep. The linux kernel need something too. It's not all plug'n'play with embedded situations such as smartphones. These devices aren't built for plug'n'play in mind. They are statically built. Once compiled, it's snug as a glove. Nothing more, nothing less.

But it's not all darkness around. Luckily the linux kernel is open source. Even when it comes to Android devices.

One can simply download the linux kernel source from the manufacturers web site, and import it to the Android Development Environment that one has prepared for this.

Next thing to fetch is the source code for the new camera module. This can be quite tricky, and is a show-stopper in many cases. Manufacturers often refuse to release these sources, and Android open source world end up with a "crippled state" for the module in question. Blame the hardware manufacturers for this.

But let's pretend that one have a camera module that happen to have its kernel driver "open source". Then one only need to download these sources, and patch them in.

Once the linux kernel has been patched, and the new camera module is available in the linux kernel configuration, one only need to enable it as a "module", and compile it.

Once compiled, one will end up with a "camera_module.ko".

This particular ko-file is what one need to transfer to the Android device in question, and tell Android init to load it.

Now... it should work... but it rarely does in real life. As you mention, there might be some special API and other stuff needed for the software in order to access the camera.

Once again: read the documentation for the camera module in question, and hope that the manufacturer of the camera module have used a commonly used API, and not a proprietary one.

That is enough of me babbling on about this. This is not supposed to be "absolute facts". These lines written are more meant as a general pointer of "what to expect if one tries".

Maybe someone else, more experienced in these matters, can shed some more light on this. I could be wrong.

I'd think if it worked we would have heard about it by now. The Moto X is not on the list of supported devices. Though reading up on it, the website says if it doesn't work on your device it won't cause any issues, just reboot and carry on. You could take one for the team and give it a shot...

Plsssss, tell me where I'm wrong.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] wards5150:
Did you rename the update.app file to zip? If you are updating by dload method all you need to do is put update.app folder on your SD card in the dlaod folder. Make sure you have unzipped through winrar first. Other people have reported that updating can only be done through internal memory. Same process as above.

Thanks. I didn't know that i should rename update.app to .zip but now appears: Finding update package... Opening update package..... Verifying update package...... E:signature verification failed Installation aborted. cust copying files... copy cust files successed Formating /cache :(:(

I had to tell you im with rooted p6 should I unroot it first ???

Is there any other way to upgrade it i first tried with online update and it doesn't work for that I ask here cuz I didn't know other ways to upgrade it.

Thanks in advance.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] SiperX:
Hello Everybody,

I have flashed the ROM of my HTC P3300 (which was in Dutch language and it is now in English) and all works just fine, I have only noticed that most of the time I am not reachable to people who are calling me by phone.

I have moved the SIM card which was inside the HTC to my old (great) Nokia mobile and the problem is gone!

Can it be possible that the new ROM has some bugs which affect the functions of my phone signal?

If someone out there knows about this matter and has a solution for my problem I would be very glad to hear it.

Thanx :)

Same problem for me

Exactly the same problem for me.

I set the voicemail on/off but still some people cant reach me.

The moment I make calls/SMS then somehow phone is registered with network operator and then I can receive the call. Looks like the phone goes to some mode and lost his registration with the nearest cell of the network provider.

I will be happy if someone can provide solution to this.

Thank you..
