Well you can also use the prebuilt dtb.img from the stock boot.img but this doesn't work with the kernel built from the sources. So I've built the dtb from the sources but didn't have the time to fix the mkdtbhbootimg sources to get the boot.img completly created from the sources. I will do that when I'm back from my vacation ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] :
M, okay cool, :good:

Have a great vacation !

i'll dig in to mkdtbhbootimg and see if i can get it sorted.

Big respect to these guys...

I dont know why you use 28111 TWRP ,this recovery cant be use in TW rom

use 2.8.6.0 recovery for Lollipop suport in Original Development section
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] :
S,

okay try this one out, from your boot.img [cm12]

one packed for odin - SM-G850F-cm12-boot.img.tar

one straight img - SM-G850F-cm12-boot.img -rename to boot.img

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32055

changed in default prop

kernel from source [official] SM-G850F G850FXXU2COD4 SM-G850F_EUR_LL_Opensource.zip

http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=SM-G850F

concatenated dtb's via

cat arch/arm/boot/dts/*.dtb >> build/out/dt_image/boot.img-dtb

i'm not necessarily gunning for a full boot, though that would be great, what i'm hoping for is adb access so we can get

logcat, dmesg, kmsg

i am asking for a SM-G850F owner to post the stock boot and recovery.img 's

thanks

m

EDIT- just to make mention again, i am building blind, so please understand my seemingly "dumb" questions,

is this device using a fips kernel ? I notice in my build i am building out a "standard" zImage AND a fips kernel Image.

thanks again.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bonuzzz:
moonbutt74, and how your work will help us? I dont understand...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] :
b,

hi, i've built blind for devices before, btw are you going to push vendor source [slte] soon,?

That would be helpful, thanks.

m
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bonuzzz:
if you dont have this device, so how are you going to test your work?

Now I see only one goal for you is to publish the rom "as is". Dont you think about why haven't we do it yet?

ps: I dont have plans to publish vendor blobs
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] :
b,

hi,

The extent of my involvement is to help in getting the boot.img working, the added benefit being if i come into ownership of a device

with similar kernel source, I will know more with respect to getting it up to snuff and ready to go. This is a part of what development is.

I don't understand the motive behind your line of questioning, nor why you would establish a repository you have no intention of using.

I think it would better serve this thread to return to the topic/subject which, at the moment, is getting the boot.img sorted. Yes?

To your question about the build, I need to compile the kernel within the build system to not only generate the boot.img but, the accompanying sepolicy as well. I will be following the OP's progress concerning the issue with generating the dt.img correctly. Again and chiefly to further my own learning.

Please reconsider pushing the appropriate vendor sources. Thank you.

m
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bonuzzz:
modpunk thinks the problem is in dtb.

I think the problem is not dtb related.

We have already two variants...

If you have already downloaded sources, you can see it only has general config for exynos, not for current model. If you have this device, you could flash rom and test at least... But now you don't know where is the proble, you don't have any loga, you don't know where is issue and where to find.

Blind development is not suitable for problem solving...

ps: for vendor blobs download stock firmware and extract them from it.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] :
b,

I'm sorry but i have to add you to my ignore list.

m
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] bonuzzz:
Very sad to hear it

Anyway I've already got new kernel booting.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] :
Okay neat, so what was the problem and how did you fix it?

The reason i added you to my ignore list is because I subscribe to threads with email notification,

so for every reply made, I get notified. You were not saying anything about the actual project

and it was becoming distracting.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kyasu:
Hi [MENTION=4297219]modpunk[/MENTION] and [MENTION=242033]bonuzzz[/MENTION], thank you for providing source code.

I slightly modified code and blobs and I can get working cm12.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
I see that you used the source code provided by bonuzzz to work on CM. Did you also modify the device tree to get camera and telephony working? Please contact me via PM. :)

I'm downloading your build ATM.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] Blubberor:
download works super easy (use download now).

any news on changes?

EDIT:

I needed first to install old cm12 of 18.5. then boot and update to your version.

was stuck at the setupwizard when coming from your version either with gapps and without...

phone quality still the same, now reverting back to LL stock. as soon as voice is fixed.... ;)

looking very much forward to devs
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kyasu:
I will check the setupwizard later.

Phone quality is not bad for daily use (I have tested with my family). But there is one restriction. After boot, you must play a media audio (like YouTube) once before phone calling. Without media play kick, voice calling does not work.

Please try.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
You might have noticed that the music player doesn't work, too. Once I start the music playback, my device isn't able to get any system sounds. I reverted the new audio configs (cryptomilk), and audio works again, but AudioFX equalizer has to be disabled then. After going back to old vendor blobs, AudioFX works fine again.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kyasu:
Thank you for your information. I have not noticed.

By just reverting audio_effects.conf, audio and AudioFX works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
After reverting /system/etc/audio_effects.conf and /system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf via CM File Manager, the problem still persists. A restart of my phone didn't solve this issue.

Edit: I was able to get audio working again.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kyasu:
cm-12.1-20150614-UNOFFICIAL-slte.zip

New build is up, better than previous, daily usable, still has minor camera/audio issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
I tested your build - there are still huge audio errors left, because I'm unable to play a song in music app. After starting the playback, I don't get any system sounds, telephony doesn't work etc. until the next reboot. Something seems to be wrong in your config files, please have a look at my logcat attached in this post.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kyasu:
I can play music in cm default music player, I can get system sounds, and I can get voice sound in telephony, respectively. But I play music and system sounds (or something like YouTube) simultaneously, then audio stops working until the next reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] sunsettrack4:
That should be the same problem as described in my post. By taking a picture in camera app, I can get system sounds working again (without a reboot). Nevertheless, the CM default music player doesn't work in a reliable way as long as this bug persists...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kyasu:
Yes. the CM default music player may cause a race condition of audio track. Winamp is no problem in simultaneous play.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] saxmydix:
Tried using NetEase player also cause the bug. Can't have simultaneous sound play even screen lock sound. Other than that working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
The default player and everything else works just fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ke_be:
You use [MENTION=4861355]kyasu[/MENTION] last build?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
Why should I?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] gabrielking9:
Are you back from your vacations?
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ke_be:
Dunno, I ask because you say everything working (in your last was minor issue phone/camera). If you have new build we all wait for it ;) I know, never ask for ETA :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I've never provided a ROM because it was not ready for daily use yet and it still isn't. I'm still trying to fix several issues. The audio HAL I wrote based on i9500 and maguro is working just fine.

If people prefer to fork my work and not contribute back, it isn't my fault that their ROMs are broken ...
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] ke_be:
Thanks for information, didnt know that. Good luck with develop & fixes ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] kyasu:
Thank you for your great work. My tree is forked from bonuzzz and slight differ from your tree. (I tried your tree first, but I cannot build cm-12.1 as is, and the build with modified tree didn't boot. maybe it's my mistake.)

The attached file is the audio HAL built from your tree and the default player works just fine !

I will merge your tree and contribute back.
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] modpunk:
I've pushed a lot of fixes to my repo.

The capacitive buttons did still vibrate when the screen was of. This is fixed in the power module now.

I've added a lot of SELinux rules, but they are still not complete

USB storage with a OTG cable works now

The sound quality should be much better now

Thanks for asking that question! I also picked up a red one off swappa this week to play with., and wanted to know the same. Off to find the downgrade instructions, I'm on 12B.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
Curious that you guys would buy a phone that's been out for a while, then look into root and roms.

Would have sucked if there was no way past a certain build.

Just a thought for the future.
[Verizon LG G3] theistus:
All versions can be rooted ATM, iirc. Stump root only works on 10b. There is a different method using adb for other versions. You can downgrade backwards to 10b from all.

Latest ota is 12b. The 23a and 23b ROMs u may see are leaked builds and not official OTA.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haznix:
Hi Guys,

I recently purchased a Lumia 1520 RM-937 to use on my TMobile account. I was disappointed to find out that I cannot get 4g LTE speeds with this variant. I have learned that the AT&T variant RM-938 supports the bands that would allow me to get the full LTE bandwidth. I was wondering, if I flash the RM-938 ROM Firmware should it work or is the RF hardware actually different? I have already flashed 059V3... NAM version, which turned out to be the Canadian version of the RM-938 Firmware. I am stuck on Lumia BLACK version of the WP8 but that's not my biggest concern. I really want the full bandwidth. Also, the Field Test Menu ##3282# doesn't work on RM-937 with either Firmware.

Should I just sell this and buy RM-938? I wonder if I can put Anroid on Lumia 1520.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magilla77:
Lumia 1520 RM-937 International

Were you ever able to figure this out?

I also bought a Lumia 1520 RM-937 International version. For some reason it's stuck in airplane mode. I thought maybe after upgrading to W10M it would fix the problem with airplane mode - it didn't. I have T-Mobile so I already knew no LTE. I read about a few hardware fixes and tried booting the phone while plugged into my Surface Pro. It fixed the airplane problem temporarily. The airplane mode problem returned after a reboot. It didn't really matter since I was only getting an H connection which really was terrible.

So, did you successfully flash your Lumia 1520 to a different RM with success?

If so, did you get LTE?

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magilla77:
