I,

first, thanks for your question , it was very informative. :good:

as far as i know no samsung wifi-only device has fastboot.

if you can get into recovery, via adb shell force/manually re write your stock kernel image to the correct partition

and work backwards from there which in this case would seem to be to restore the full backup you absolutely positively without a doubt

made.... right?

this is the device's partition layout via adb shell parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 and then print all [philz/cwm]

~ # parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

the numbers on the left correspond to mmcblk ## so cache is /dev/block/mmcblk0p24

if you haven't hacked out your bootloader, modified your partition layout the above recommend should set you back right[ish]

check your nethunter project's installer/script to see if it modified anything

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l8nit3:
Thank you so much for responding and giving such a concise answer. To be entirely honest though, i believe it may be a little over my head (this is my first android dev project, and i kinda just "jumped in"). From what i understand, your answer is basically a very detailed way to unbrick my device.... should i brick it flashing my kernel? If so then, sadly, Im not quite that far yet lol. At this point My device is a rooted stock 4.4.2 , and i am unable to get my kernel to flash at all (and therefore havent even tried to flash the rom part of nethunter untill kernel is working). Thank you for the information about fastboot however, I didnt realize samsung wifi devices had no such thing. (Spent hours trying to figure out why it would work lol)

Question #1

Since fastboot is not an option, is it possible to temporarily flash my kernel to ram using only adb? (Like you would using fastboot for a "safe" test?)

Question #2

Has any dev, anywhere, ever built a kernel from source for this device and been able to flash it? (as i am unable to flash a "vanilla" kernel from source aswell.)

Question #3

Is there any dev who own this particular tablet (sm-t330nu 4.4.2 KOT49H.T330NUUAU1AND4) who is willing to have a short PM convo with a new aspiring dev.... maybe point me in the right direction with a few things? (im also working on a custom rom in android kitchen http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60227726&postcount=6)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
l8,

hey hey,

from what i am able to decipher, you forgot to account for your kernel modules which are by default as of kitkat and later on in jellybean

located in /system/modules on many/most devices where they used to be packed into the boot image.

You also may have forgotten to account for the device tree binary [dtb] as well, Although there does exist the option during

menuconfig to concatenate the kernel binary and the dtb which resultes in zImage-dtb instead , which might be a route to follow.

The following is my default go-to build script for the kernel which i adjust by source and system/location setup

#!/bin/bash
rm -frv build
make clean && make mrproper
mkdir -pv build/out/modules/pronto build/out/dt_image
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/storage/toolchains/NDK-x86-armeabi-4.6-KK/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-
export STRIP=/storage/toolchains/NDK-x86-armeabi-4.6-KK/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-strip
make msm8226-sec_defconfig VARIANT_DEFCONFIG=msm8226-sec_milletwifiue_defconfig
make menuconfig && wait
clear
make CONFIG_NO_ERROR_ON_MISMATCH=y -j10 && make modules
./tools/dtbTool -o build/out/dt_image/boot.img-dtb -s 2048 -p ./scripts/dtc/ ./arch/arm/boot/
cp arch/arm/boot/*zImage build/out/boot.img-zImage
find -type f -name *.ko -exec cp {} build/out/modules/ \;
ls -al build/out/modules/
cd build/out/modules/
$STRIP --strip-unneeded *.ko
mv wlan.ko pronto/pronto_wlan.ko
cd ../../../
ls -al build/out/modules/ build/out/modules/pronto/ build/out/dt_image/ build/out/
echo Done !

i name this script go , and set it in the top of the kernel source, meaning for example

/kernel-srcs/samsung/sm-t330nu_kk/go

adjust for flavor.

ok adb, the answer is no. if you can get kexec configured properly and working, that might be a better way to go without continually

slaying your system. Additionally you may want to be sure module versioning , forced module load, and forced module unload are set,

As to adb [while in recovery] run adb remount it should be successful, if not jump straight to adb shell

now while in your device remount

mount -o rw,remount /system

provided you have the image on the device already navigate to it's location and dd write the boot kernel image

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

quadruple check this command for correctness before executing.

On kali, you may be better served to run a non-gui chrooted linux off of your external sdcard and curl wget or git clone the source

you need to build, and do it natively on your tab through that chroot. The tab can manage it, bot the sm-t53xx and the sm-t33x, the benefit

being a "native" compile [static is good, dynamic blows bubbles] I am actually wondering if you can do some hackery with the nethunter sources

to be specifically keyed/tied in to that chrooted distro?

Lastly two points, be more specific, and, be more specific. :silly:

I can't really know what you ACTUALLY mean by my image won't write and nothing changes.

Your partitions are still intact?

You need the attached tools in your kernel source tools directory

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l8nit3:
Thank you so much for the help!! I had been confusing two seperate issue (one ive figured out for my seperate custom rom http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60227726&postcount=6, and one youve explained beautifully here for nethunter).

Everything youve explained is completely new to me (and therefor i absolutely missed it lol) Youve given me a whole lot to look into and once again explained it in such a concise way i believe i can follow and hopefully manage to get this working :) Also youve now given me a whole new project lol Ill be attempting the full nethunter rom, and ill be later attempting a chroot environment as you suggested just to see which runs cleaner. Thank you so much for your help (In my side project custom rom ive added thanks to you at the end of the updater-script for all your help :) )

Now off to learn!! lol

[MENTION=5618873]l8nit3[/MENTION]

hey, i just did a plain straight foward flash of nethunter on my sm-t330nu, i am working on getting the boot.img sorted. Until then

i just flashed back my stock boot image. I used the oneplus image as it's a msm8974 device and mostly "compatible"

i haven't found out anything on prima drivers and monitor mode etc. assuming this is more meant for supported dongles, but the neat thing is else the kali chroot seems to function. doing cross compiles of standard gnu bsd stuff to "fix" android where possible.

the kernel need support for the hid and maybe bluetooth stuff, not sure if the rf stuff actually matters without a dongle which i'm just not getting,

but the point of this drive by posting is with a little mod to the issues boot.img and inclusion of modules i don't think a full build of nethunter for these devices [the qcom/msm variety] is really needed.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecko no yaro:
Okay, this is must be my first thread since I join this lovely forum.

So here is the deal, this is my previous phone that I gave to my sister not so long ago, she has this not-so-bright wise *ss who try to fix her G2.

Sadly, he flashed the wrong rom, this is LG F320L and I think he flashed with F320K (based on error message that I got from the LG Flash Tool when I try to fix it)

This is the story so far :

1. the first time i got it on my hand (after get wrong-flashed that is ) :

- the phone is cannot boot, it stucked on black screen with fastboot command, try to go to recovery but not working, keep going to fastboot screen

- but i can still go to download mode (if I press vol UP while connect it to my PC) but somehow my PC will not recognize it

2. So I browse so many tutorial here and I end up erase and then reflash the stock recovery via cmd fastboot command, I'm 100% sure that I flashed the correct stock recovery file

- the process kinda work, the phone is able to go to recovery screen now although still cannot boot to system

- i still can go to download mode but the PC still didn't recognize it

- however, now the phone is being recognize by my PC if i plug the phone (without pressing anything on the phone), but gave me error code on the MTP driver

3. So next step I try to flash it via kdz method, didn't work of course, since my download mode won't be recognize, and then i also try to flash it via TOT method, also fail (again)

Note : on TOT method I try to flash it while NOT on download mode, since it will not recognized, it gave me error message that i try to cross flash or something. It says that I try to flash F320K to F320L (hence I assume that my sister's boyfriend flashed the wrong rom and got bricked)

also please note that while i'm did this i already make sure that i change the port setting to port 41

So now i stucked here, without the working download mode that can be recognized by my PC i think i'm start to running out of option to fix this phone

Please point me to the right direction good people of xda, please, thank you in advance
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Okay, so at this moment does the device try to mount quite a lot of partitions? Also does it give any errors on the screen if you power on without trying to boot to download mode or recovery? Ideally we want to see something along the lines of security error.

thanks for your reply, i really appreciate it

well, you're right, it does give me errors when i power on (without trying to go to download mode or recovery mode)

so when i power it on, it shows LG logo then the image goes like corrupt, at first it kinda like shaking then it went blur and last it disappearing, leave the screen into just blank screen.

but my PC recognize it on this moment, just the MTP driver that wasn't

about your first question i'm afraid i can't catch what that means

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hmmm. okay, so what does the pc recognize it as exactly in device manager? Also if you connect the device do you get several pop ups stating that the mounted device needs to be fixed? It's just that if the partitions are being mounted we can reflash them manually using DD commands with ubuntu.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

Right, you need to follow this guide i think. Ensure your read it fully before you attempt anything. Now, the lollipop update apparently changed some partitions so I would flash the bumped twrp from the development section instead of the 2.6.3.2 version recommended. Then once you can boot into recovery flash the rom recommended in this post
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecko no yaro:
it's just like the pict that i attached

about the pop ups, no.. i don't think i got those, the only pop ups that appear was the small notification on the bottom right panel that the drivers is being installed, and keep failing on the MTP driver, maybe that's why my PC can't recognizes it under the download mode
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
if you open disk management what does it say about the g2? also did you install the universal adb driver at any point? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51265001&postcount=30 here it states that installing the universial driver will show your device as a samsung.

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Additional! this rom flash assumes you are on a d802 so if your not on a d802 the dont flash it!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecko no yaro:
okay, i just checked on disk management and it appear that my PC doesn't recognized the G2, what makes it weird, at the same time it recognizes the G2 on device manager on ports (COM & LPT) on port 41, about the adb yes, i do believe i did that long time ago, though i forgot what was my intention of doing so
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hmmm. im stumped. I think its a bit of a catch 22 here. What i think has happened is that the rom flash that was done has changed some of the partition layout, but the methods of fixing that issue is either with DD commands from a custom recovery (which you dont have and cannot flash) or with DD commands using ubuntu when the device is auto-mounting all of your partitions. Its worth a look if you have an ubuntu disk around, if not download here, burn to disk or mount it to a bootable usb and see if ubuntu has any luck with it. Either that or try installing any drivers you can on the pc to get download mode working.

there is also this as a last resort but i've never had to do this so i cannot vouch for it :-/ Good luck pal.

I installed the drivers to my computer and when I attached the phone I think it moved them there? Is that correct?

I downloaded g900vvru1ancg_full_odin.tar from the link in the thread you gave me and placed it on my computer.

I downloaded towelroot-v3 from the link in the thread you gave me. Do I place this on the removable sd card in my phone? then install to the phone like an app? Also can I install if from the removable sd card?

I downloaded safestrap-g900v-3.75 KitKat from the link in the thread you gave me. Do I place this on the removable sd card in my phone? Also can I install this from the removable sd card?

If I'm understanding this. At this point I will have a rooted phone with an earlier version of kitkat on it? Correct?

Then from safestrap recovery I install g900v_oa8_100%_stock_rooted_ROM which I placed on the removable sd card.

At this point I will be rooted with 5.0 on my phone correct?

Then to get the tether working I place the G900V_OAB_tetheringAddOn.zip on my removable card.

I then flash g900v_NK2_stock_kernel. Do I do this in Odin? or safestrap.

Then I flash G900v_OA8_Stock_kernel. Do I do this in odin or safestrap?

Am I correct in understanding that 5.0 stopped some of exploits used to root and change things on the phone and the work around is to flash completely back to an older version. Change what you need to change then flash back to the new version without overwriting the changes that were needed to be made?
