hi,

im having trouble building a kernel that actually boots liquidsmooth (https://github.com/LiquidSmooth)

I tried using https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_sony_msm8974/tree/cm-12.0 and https://github.com/Tommy-Geenexus/android_kernel_sony_msm8974.

Kernel compiles fine but when i flash the kernel the device is stuck at sony bootlogo. also i cant enter recovery. if i press volume up when the led is pink it turns yellow.

its no difference if i use cwm or twrp recovery

Also applied ramdisk size fix for twrp with no difference.

If i flash http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/anykernel2-zombie-t2926584 my rom (liquidsmooth lp self compiled) boots witout problem. but if i compile the same kernel its about 3mb bigger.

Im using google arm-eabi toolchain 4.8

also tried linaro and sabermod with no difference.

Anyone had the same problem?

How do i get logs at this stage?

Any suggestions?

Didnt have any problems with kitkat.

edit:

fixed, problem was using sabermod androideabi toolchain instead of googles.

According to Alx31TLse you cant use sabermod toolchain for xperia z line.

It seems its messing up the busybox or cpio executable for the target. I would guess the problem is with cpio because the leds for entering recovery where working which are controlled by busybox.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MusterMaxMueller:
If i change https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_msm8974-common/blob/cm-12.0/boot/custombootimg.mk line 36 to

$(hide) $(MKBOOTIMG) --kernel $(PRODUCT_OUT)/kernel --ramdisk $(PRODUCT_OUT)/ramdisk.img --cmdline "$(BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE)" --base $(BOARD_KERNEL_BASE) --pagesize $(BOARD_KERNEL_PAGESIZE) --dt $(INSTALLED_DTIMAGE_TARGET) $(BOARD_MKBOOTIMG_ARGS) -o $(INSTALLED_BOOTIMAGE_TARGET)

kernel finally boots but no recovery of course.

if i look at the combinedroot folder everything looks ok.

i dont get whats going wrong. im guessing it fails at extracting the ramdisk when using the init script from combinedroot. i also tried to compress the kernel with gzip and also tried using a compressed ramdisk but that didnt change a thing.

any ideas?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
1st of all at least specify u wanna make it with twrp wich needs change to your rhine-common

u can take omni's or slim rhine-common as its already twrp-ified. or else if u take cm one, u need twrp's fstab, tagets in board config and and indeed twrp flags. to make it easier take omni's u will save time and headaches.

and main question is...why are u taking msm8974 kernel from tommy wich is for stock rom, u really like things complicated bro. if u take mine from team validus repos or Omar's one it will surely works, and on top of that, kexec patched for multi rom...

If u absolutely wanna keep working with Tommy's one, good luck but imo if u wanna make a good custom kernel change ur base and cherry-pick his stuff for gamma control and everything if its the reason why u looking for his kernel source.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MusterMaxMueller:
thanks for reply,

im sorry i thought i made it clear that i tried usind cwm and twrp.

already made all the changes to rhine, ramdisk and stuff... set all the flags and made changes to recovery rhine-common/rootdir/init.recovery.qcom.rc like described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943625

was never a problem with kitkat.

https://github.com/Tommy-Geenexus/android_kernel_sony_msm8974 which im using is lollipop cm kernel forked from cm. which is booting if altering "combinedroot.fs" to ramdisk.img like written in post #2 but of course without recovery!

if i dont alter "costumbootimg.mk" device is stuck at sony logo.

no difference if i change to cwm recovery either. its also the same if use cm kernel instead of tommys. i could try validus but as it is a forked cm kernel im guessing i will have the same result.

there is no kernel at github from omareinea which would be compatible with lollipop.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Alx31:
Cuz his kernel is not in his account, its in greatdevs organisation.

Well sorry but me, i don't know then...it works on my roms and cuz fota kernel is less complicated...im no more crushing my head on recoveries xD
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MusterMaxMueller:
update

i made a clean/fresh linux install ubuntu (14.10)

i reseted the device with flashtool to sony stockfirmware .108 and installed from fresh.

used different sources (cm, validus, greatdevs).

problem still persists. :crying:

if i check the uncompress combinedroot.cpio with cpio -tv combinedroot.cpio everything looks good.

and as stated if i use ramdisk.img instead of combinedroot.fs kernel/rom boots but no recovery... FOTAKernel is installed with twrp. If i flash a kernel i didnt build there is no problem booting recovery or rom.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MusterMaxMueller:
problem was the android-eabi toolchain.

changed to default google toolchain and now its working.

i feel stupid now :)

before i only tried different arm-eabi toolchains.

now it all make sense.

i guess it must be problem in compiled cpio.

don't feel stupid, cuz i did same error and took me a month to find out.:D

[XDA Assist] chesslover:
Hello, I have a Jiayu G4S phone (1GB RAM/4GB ROM version). It has android 4.2.2 and by default it uses only external SD micro card for saving files (photos, music, ebboks, downloads from internet,...). Internal memory is used for installing apps, but that can be changed to external memory. I used to have SD micro card inserted and everthing worked ok. But then my SD card reader stopped recognizing SD card. I sent phone back for repair, but they did not repair it (although they say they did). I tried different cards in phone, but they don't work. Some are not recognized at all, some are recognized with message, that SD card is corrupted and I should try formatting. When I try formatting, nothing happens. I tried MTK Eingineer Mode - SD card test...but it says there is no card in phone. Is there anything else I could do to fix that myself?

Because if I send it back again I will have to be without phone for another month or two and I can't do that...

I was also thinking - is there a possibility I could make my phone save files to internal memory instead of external SD card?

Hey there,

I press volume up + insert the USB, when the LG screen appears I let go of the volume button and leave it. After roughly 1 minute it says Download Mode however it only stays in this mode for roughly 20 seconds and then it goes into Fastboot mode saying "reset" and "changed port". I got the correct ROM for my IMEI and LGFlashTool however I think the main problem could be the LG USB drivers. When I try install the official drivers the installer says success however windows says not successful.

Image 1 - i.imgur.com/hPkZbLx.png

Image 2 - i.imgur.com/nxdYm39.png

I have tried uninstalling all LG drivers/software, restarting etc.

I am fairly sure I can flash if I can just figure out how to successfully install the drivers or connect the phone to the PC. Anybody have any ideas? I can use linux or try any suggestions/alternative software.

Kind regards,

Desperate G3 owner
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtothem:
Just an update that I was able to manually apply the LGE PORT/COM driver in device manager however the PC only recognises the device when it is in Fastboot Mode. When it starts in Download Mode as stated above, nothing happens, but after ~20 seconds it will automatically switch to Fastboot Mode and then the PC will detect the phone and says Fastboot Commands.

I have tried using adb.exe devices and fastboot.exe devices in cmd but nothing shows up, any ideas?

Hey everybody,

I've flashed Pac rom on my D5322 dualsim model. Its reading my sim card, but it's not able to connect to a network.

After a while I tried CM11, and got the same error.

I've flashed it on android 4.4.2 firmware.

But the thing is I've flashed CM11 on the same firmware before, and I've never faced this problem.

This is what I get when I try to connect to a network

Any help would be appreciated :)

I finally got my Incredible 4G LTE to S_off. I flashed recovery to TWRP then tried to flash CM 11 Nightly for Fireball. The flash failed with the message "error updating updater binary in zip file". Fixes suggested included installing a dffferent recovery. I didn't want to do that so installed CM 10.2.1. That worked and it is running but the radio signal indicator was showing a low to no signal. I found this thread that indicates that is cosmetic and that the signal is as strong as before. I haven't noticed any issues with the phone.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] crokett:
Not yet. CM on this phone isn't yet 24 hrs old. I probably will live with it at least for the next few days since I am on call this weekend. The phone seems to work just fine otherwise.

Do you have any recommendations for a new ROM ? I am fairly new to Android, and very new to rooting in general. I see the team viper ROMs are discontinued. I also see this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933539

which is a mod of the stock ROM and of course I could in theory restore the stock ROM that I backed up.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
While the ViperLTE ROM isn't supported anymore, it still works great. I have been using 2.2.0 (with the Infernal4.1 Kernel) as my daily driver for well over a year. The customizations over stock are great, and the Infernal Kernal adds Swipe2Wake. But, I like HTC Sense. CM is a better choice if you don't particularly care for Sense.

Unfortunately, this phone was the bastard, left-handed, red-headed step-child, thrice removed Verzion castoff that received very little support from Verizon and HTC. The launch was jacked-up, Verizon nixed the HTC Dev unlock for this phone, and root took a long while. As a result, there are not a lot of ROMs or support for it. I am very thankful to the small community that was able to achieve the unlock, s-off and the few ROMs, Kernels and recoveries that we do have.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] crokett:
Yeah, I am learning that as I go. However the phone was free, and I was in a slightly better spot than most cause if I bricked it I could always fall back to my iPhone if I had to. Besides, I learned a lot in the last 10 days. for now at least I will stick with CM and see what happens. It works here around my house, and I am not planning to far this weekend. Next week if I decide to I can try something else.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Good price :) I bought mine on day of release, and I am still quite happy with it. I have not seen anything out there yet that has a nice small form factor that would be worth changing to. Plus, I still have an unlimited data plan and I'm not inclined to give that up anytime soon. I would be more likely to pick up another "new" Dinc4 at this point if something were to happen to this one.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Beeko:
Well I have built PacRom and LiquidSmooth for this so feel free to give them a go. They both have working data so if you're looking for a stock Google then you should try it if you're S-OFF

Hey guys.

Before my Note Edge I had a Galaxy Note (N7000) and connected it via MHL to my Pioneer AppRadio to fully mirror my phone and it worked perfectly.

The Pioneer Android kit looks like this and comes with MHL...

So today I tried to connect my Edge to the AppRadio and it does not work :crying:

I have checked the power and when I connect the MHL power cable to my phone my phone charges so that is fine.

I have tried connecting my Sony Bravia TV to my Edge via MHL using a 'fresh HDMI cable' and it doesn't do anything.

Is the Pioneer MHL incompatible with the Edge (is it a 1st generation MHL) and the Edge can only use the current 3.0 generation?

I really appreciate your help.
[Note Edge Accessories] le0.br4zuc4:
I don't think AppRadio is compatible with our phones yet...
[Note Edge Accessories] jUsT2eXy:
Really? I thought in terms of compatibility as long as you have MHL support on your device it will work. Its literally just an Android App and MHL connection.

Regardless of the above, my MHL adapter does not work with the AppRadio on my Sony Bravia (2014 model) in the MHL port. So is this a broken MHL adapter or do I need the new MHL 3.0 for the Edge to work via MHL?

I have a note 4, and the appRadio 3 also.

You will require to use the Samsung MHL adapter as the phone requires 11 pin connector for the video output.

Just connects this adapter to the HDMI cable and the USB powered cable and you are good to go.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] johnboy693:
This is the one I use and works great. I had a Samsung one, but the way the micro USB for charging plugs into the same side as the MHL connection to the phone is awkward. Also, the USB on the back of the head unit doesn't put out enough juice to charge the phone while running GPS/streaming and the like. So with this you have a little extra length to plug into a fast charger if you want, and run the MHL cable to a convenient spot since its a LOT thinner than an HDMI cable from the back.
