[Sony Xperia E1] fzort:
The device tree is located after the ramdisk in boot.img, but you can build it from the kernel sources provided by Sony. The `msm8610-v2-mtp.dtb` make target will build the device tree blob. Then mkqcdtbootimg will build a boot.img containing kernel + ramdisk + device tree blob. The only thing that you need for this which is not provided by Sony (well, other than more detailed build instructions...) is a ramdisk image, I had to extract it from the stock firmware...

If you want to split boot.img into kernel / ramdisk / device tree, you can use this script: github.com/mpersano/bootimg-tools/blob/master/split-bootimage.py

Good luck!
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
I've been trying to get that script work like ages

Does it require Linux, or just Python?

EDIT: nvm, I figured it out
[Sony Xperia E1] Zsenyka:
So is CM for E1 finally possible or just custom kernel?
[Sony Xperia E1] Caio99BR:
[MENTION=7283389]fzort[/MENTION] [MENTION=5903579]Kizoky[/MENTION] i make this booting with the stock dt blob (device tree means the Android Device Tree, and this is totally diff, use "dt blob")

See my changes in https://github.com/Caio99BR/android_kernel_sony_falconss

Ah, only with msm8610-v2-mtp.dtb this works too, i tested after.

("I not reply more earlier because the phone is from my father and yesterday ran out of energy.")

The ramdisks works and dt blobs too.

The screenshot
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
I saw you are doing the device part of E1 too

If you need any help just ask me (or tests)
[Sony Xperia E1] Caio99BR:
Ok man, im trying to do kernel fully working (solved problem of dt blobs. We cant pack qrd dt, so comment build of then), and zip easy flashing, but not working at moment, my father will get crazy when him try to play FM Radio.

After i will merge code to a CAF Linux Kernel, so this is more easy to update.

By last finish the Android Device Tree with a E1 Caf Kernel.

I will try to post the custom kernel.

Im thinking in VeeSSKernel (Since my kernel of L3II is VeeKernel), what do you think?

[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Would be really great

We still don't have a custom kernel (only Stock kernel with PhilZ)

I can't wait to see it :D
[Sony Xperia E1] Caio99BR:
We have a problem, the TV is not working anymore, idk why

I will check it, we need TV Support working, or i need it, since my father use it :)

EDIT: The problem is inside kernel or ramdisk.
[Sony Xperia E1] racer.z:
it's amazing .. Very good work .. Congratulations friends??
[Sony Xperia E1] Caio99BR:
[MENTION=5903579]Kizoky[/MENTION] TV is fixed :cool::cool:

Edit: THANKS, i forget ever :P

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

I will try to release tomorrow, since i want to make a new banner, based on my old VeeKernel banner.

For CM i will need to redownload CAF Kernel MSM (since im stupid and overwrited .git in tests).

I will start building TWRP (V3), merging it to stock ramdisk and update to make cwm and twrp side-by-side.

So i have done this in two weeks for make a custom kernel, thanks [MENTION=7283389]fzort[/MENTION] :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Does anyone know if the S7 will support the ability to use Voice and LTE data at the same time?

I am saving up for an S6 but if the S7 will support this with Sprint, than I will continue to save and purchase the S7. I currently have the S5 and can live with it for awhile longer if the S7 will have LTE and Voice.

PS: Couldn't find a "next gen devices" thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
Regardless I would wait for the S7 if I were you man. Comes out in like 2-3 months.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Well, the thing is I could get an S6 for half the price of the S7. And if it doesn't have the LTE while on voice feature, I would rather pay for the S6 (I'm broke lol) But by the time the S7 comes out I could have enough money. I also would prefer the S6 cause there is much more support and development available for it. Then again I could always compile my own S7 kernel and start the modding myself.

Is the S7 really going to be all that great? I read rumors that its going to have the best camera of all the devices and such. Which I would definitely love. Plus the 4K screen. Meh, I guess I should just save up for the S7. Still would like to know if it will support the data while on voice. I really hope Sprint realizes this is a much missed feature. Albeit, I can live without it but having it would be awesome.

Thanks for the reply!

Only Rumors For Now

There are a number of articles with rumors and speculation, but none that I have seen address your question about simultaneous LTE and voice.

Here is my round-up based only on sites that I like:

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...samsung-galaxy-s7-what-we-want-to-see-1293401

http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/samsung-galaxy-s7-news/

Maybe bigger, maybe better screen, faster processor and better audio. Liquid cooling seems far fetched, but okay.

They use the same sources and, as I said, don't answer your question.

If voice and data at the same time is the key feature for you, I'd look at alternative devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Well apparently from my extensive research, the voice and LTE on Sprint is not a Samsung/HTC/LG issue, its a Sprint issue. The new Spark they rolled out broke the feature, and would require more hardware tweaking my Sprint to Samsung for it to work. So another device I don't think would help. The last phone to support this feature was the S3 but doesn't use Sprint Spark.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
You know, right after I wrote this I recalled reading that it was Sprint.

The issue seems to be Sprint's delayed roll out of VoLTE (Voice over LTE)

See if you can learn when it is due to hit your area.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
So the VoLTE is more so tower dependent than it is device dependent? Does the S6 support VoLTE if the tower supports it? I'm reading things that say in 2016 VoLTE will be a thing for sprint is most areas. I would prefer to get the S6 cause I just can't fathom paying ~700 bucks for a cell phone. I usually get mine on eBay/Swappa for like 350 to 400 depending on condition. The S6 would surely suffice for me. My brother has it and I really like it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Contradictory Information All Over

I found lots of contradictory information. Either we'll have this capability...or we won't. Two years ago they were going to start the roll out or maybe it won't happen.

This was the latest that i found that could be considered official: https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/216897

"If at such time we enable Voice over LTE on our devices, you will be able to do it simultaneously without Wi-Fi." (That addresses your specific question about the S6 and seemed hopeful.)

"We do not have any information pertaining that at this time. Sprint Spark devices are not Simultaneous Voice and Data capable unless connected via Wi-Fi. " (And that answer right below that is not so hopeful.)

Sorry, man, don't know what to tell you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Thanks man. I think I may talk to my local store manager about it. He's a nerd like us and knows a lot about whats going on and tells me. If I get any info, i'll be sure to post back.

Also, would the Snapdragon processor rumored to be in the S7 better than an Exynos? I always thought Exynos processors were better performance wise. I also read that having a Snapdragon processor would mean more/better development here on XDA.

This is truly a tough choice haha.

On a side: What is up with everyone complaining about the lack of SD card in the S6 and S7? Yeah it sucks, but that is what OTG is for. I have the S5 and hardly use my SD card. Its mainly used for storing backups on. So I just plug in my USB flash drive and store them on there instead if I didn't have an SD slot.

Also, whats up with a "Pressure sensitive display"? I have one question, why? Lol. I guess instead of "Long pressing" something, its quicker/easier to press harder? I just feel like myself and others are going to get annoyed by it due to accidental hard presses when in a hurry/not paying attention. I really don't see it being "that cool" that is makes me want to buy it.

For his use i dont think there is any other better rom than android revolution hd11 or catalyst rom both based on stock 4.3 .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virgilio999:
I think that the best ROM for this device is che Cyanogenmod 4.4.4 official.

It working well on my son's Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davispuh:
I really recommend CyanogenMod Nightlies, they're just best.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasonmerc:
I have an ATT S3 which had 4.1.1 firmware before I rooted, flashed a ROM, etc. I'm having a GPS issue, but this doesn't seem to be the usual GPS issue S3 users encounter. From my research, I've seen S3 users stating that GPS works for them, they flash a certain ROM, and all of a sudden it doesn't work at all on any ROM (until they either tighten the screws in the phone, or reflash stock firmware in ODIN, or something like that). GPS works fine for me--I get a satellite signal fairly quickly, and the signal is strong enough to be accurate... but only on Jellybean ROMs. If I flash any sort of Kitkat ROM or newer, GPS can never get a signal. However, once I flash back to any ROM that is Android 4.3.1 or below, it starts working fine again.

I'm thinking this is related to the 4.1.1 firmware I had on here before flashing ROMs. I had a very similar issue with radios and getting cellular signal. With the 4.1.1 radios, I was able to get signal just fine on 4.3.1 ROMs and below, but Kitkat or anything above would not be able to find a signal. I flashed a newer radio in TWRP and signal-finding now works fine on all ROMs. [Side note that potentially is related, my i747 is unlocked and I'm using it with a T-Mobile SIM] Would flashing 4.3 stock firmware, which would perhaps give my phone "newer GPS radios" for lack of a better term, fix this issue? I don't want to leave 4.1.1 firmware if I don't have to, since apparently 4.1.1 firmware is more desirable, and once you go to 4.3 you can't come back down.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I think you have summarized it well. I have seen others comment about running newer ROMs on older firmware and modems with issues related to bluetooth, gps, and wifi. Firmware and modem upgrades fixed there problems.

You have already taken care of the greatest reason I have seen regarding having the 4.1.1 firmware, sim/carrier unlocking the device. From all I have read, that unlock is permanent no matter what rom changes and wipes you may do in the future. I guess a jtag or mobo swap would remove the unlock.

The drawbacks with the official 4.3 release (MJB) are Knox and the inability to downgrade. Knox seems to be in the official ROM and not in the firmware. I say this because the custom TW roms, 4.3 or 4.4.2, come without Knox. enewman17 has even removed Knox from some of his stock rom images. The same holds true for the three official Kitkat releases, NE4, NJ1, and NJ2: Knox and no downgrade. There is an extra kicker with the 4.4.2 releases, the modems will brick the phone if their version does not match the firmware version.

There is one thing you could do if you did not want to commit to MJB. Prior to MJB being released there was a leaked 4.3 stock rom with firmware and modem. Several custom TW roms were developed from it and you can still get the firmware and modem files in some of the threads. The short code for that release was MJ2. The great thing about the firmware with this release is that you can still downgrade it. You can also run the MJ2 firmware, (firmware = bootloader in the way I use the terms) with the MJB modem (modem = baseband = radio). The MJ2/MJB combination is downgradeable. This bootloader/modem combination file can be found in the OP of some of the ROM threads by loserskater and others. Even better, there are several custom TouchWiz based KitKat ROMs that will run on this MJ2/MJB combination, as long as you use one of two custom kernels; one is by ibuddler and the other is by ktoonsez. Ktoonsez has his own thread, just be certain to grab the correct kernel. He has downloads for TW and CM/AOSP kernels for several android versions. Links to ibuddler's kernel can be found in the Likewise ROM thread, IIRC. I know these kernels worked with NE4 TW ROMS and the MJ2/MJB combo. I haven't seen mention of if they will work with NJ1 or NJ2 based ROMS.

It could be that Ktoonsez' CM/AOSP 4.3 kernels will provide the same functionality with current CM/AOSP roms. At one point CM/AOSP roms based on Kitkat stopped working with the 4.3 bootloader, it was either November of 2014 or 2013. I have never seen mention of LP or MM roms working with the 4.3 bootloader, regardless of the kernel.

A reason to consider running a newer ROM is the Stagefright fixes to be found in them, incomplete as that may be. I haven't seen the fixes mentioned as incorporated into any of the TW based ROMs other than enewman's stock image. CM11 does have the fixes but seems to require a 4.4.2 bootloader and modem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Something else that can be used to fix gps problems is an app called GPS Test. After an update or flash, many people have encountered gps issues, and often all you have to do is open the app and let it find all the satellites it can. Then open maps and it should get a quick location fix. (You may or may not have to clear data on maps or other gps related apps first). You can Uninstall the app afterwards as it only needs to be done once.

This doesn't always work, but it has enough to be a worthwhile alternative to try before flashing.

Also, I've noticed on more recent builds, gps/maps just can't seem to get a location fix. If you're in a bind, just leave it running for a bit and sometimes it'll start working after a while. Again, this isn't always the case, but it's worth knowing/trying if you find yourself lost or in a bind and cant do any real work/troubleshooting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasonmerc:
Thanks for the help from both of you! I tried the GPS fix app and unfortunately it didn't work. I'll give MJ2 firmware a go.

Just to confirm before I flash...MJ2 provides all MJB 4.3 radios and such, while retaining the ability to downgrade to 4.1.1 if I wish? I just want to be 100% sure before I flash this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Yes, I did this myself. No bad side effects observed.

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

Well, actually, I used the flashable zip that contained the MJ2 bootloader and the MJB modem. I downgraded both back to 4.1.1 to do the free unlock. I downgraded, confirmed downgrade, performed the unlock, and then went back up to MJ2 bootloader and MJB modem. I have since upgraded to NE4 for bootloader and modem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasonmerc:
I'm confused once again, and I know I shouldn't be...

I did the free unlock in 4.1.1, so will going to this MJ2 un-do the unlock with the new radio?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Sorry about creating confusion.

Your Unlock, free or otherwise, is permanent - or so I have read. Going to MJ2 or any of the newer bootloader and modems should not change your unlock status.

I meant that I was already on MG2 (4.1.2) before learning of the free unlock. From MG2 I was able to downgrade to 4.1.1, do the unlock and then upgrade to the MJ2 bootloader and MJB modem. Months after that I again downgraded to 4.1.1 with no issues. I upgraded that same day to MJB and then to NE4 in order to install CM11.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasonmerc:
No problem at all. It's not you, its me XD

I'll flash MJ2 when I get home later tonight. I appreciate the help given by you (and others). This S3 forum is definitely one of the more friendly forums I've come across--much more patient with noobs like myself. Thanks for the help!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasonmerc:
I found a page on galaxys3root.com with links to 3 files... Stock 4.3 MJ2 with root (and I think no KNOX as well), MJ2 modem, and Insecure 4.3 kernel. Since these are all separate files I have to reboot to recovery and flash each one individually. I'm assuming this is what I'm looking for. If it isn't, then feel free to chime in and tell me to stop, since the downloads are probably going to take a very long time to complete (on my Windows XP netbook from 2011).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
I recall seeing that page before I first rooted my S3, but I didn't use it.

Since you have TWRP you could flash the MJ2/MJ2 bootloader and modem or the MJ2/MJB bootloader and modem and not lose the ability to downgrade. There are download links in several ROM thread OPs, the ROMs I recall offhand in S3RX by loserskater and TMS3 (don't recall the dev). You could root by flashing the SuperSu.zip from TWRP. The link is in the OP of the stable thread.

I think this is what I did: custom recovery and then SuperSu.zip while still on stock. Later I went to the TMS3 4.3 rom while on MJ2/MJB. I regained root with the same method after the downgrade and subsequent upgrades I mentioned above.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasonmerc:
Problem solved. Can now acquire GPS signal through Waze on 4.4.4 Quantum 5 ROM. I appreciate the help.

EDIT: Also working in CM12.1
[Shift General] jakfish:
I made a huge mistake: my external battery (24v a/c adapter) has the same plug size as the Shift a/c adapter (12v). In a tangle of wires, I plugged the 24v adapter into the Shift.

On battery, the machine still works. But the machine won't recognize when it's on a/c.

My amateur guess is that the Shift has some kind of trip (if I'm lucky) or I fried something at the a/c entry (if I'm unlucky).

I've looked at the various disassembles, but I haven't found one that addresses the a/c specifically.

(I took it to a computer shop and they won't touch it)

Any advice, or even a computer shop that can do the work, would be much appreciated.

Jake
[Shift General] Mr_stickz:
Hey man

Im sorry to hear that...:(

I did some searching for you and came to sorta the same thing : http://www.doityourself.com/forum/e...-24v-power-adapter-into-12v-device-kaput.html

They didnt have a good ending.

But dont you have some kind of electrical shop in your area?

Like here in my area we have a electronics store. I goto them alot of times for small repairs. They do PCB's and such. And solder as well. and sell like disco lighting and that kinda stuff.
[Shift General] jakfish:
Hi, and thanks for the link. When I brought the Shift to the local computer store, the owner said, "It can't be fixed without the parts and other places will just charge a diagnostic fee, then tell you the same thing."

On the other hand, he doesn't know the Shift's innards. He kept referring to the motherboard, which to my novice eye, appears intact. I'm thinking about buying a broken Shift and seeing if there's some possible swapping out.

That was my back-up Shift; I do have another one, but I can't stand to see it languishing in a drawer :)

Jake
[Shift General] Mr_stickz:
Yes thats a possibillity. i hope u'll find one.

What kind of things do you do on the shift ?

Just interested :P

I also made a topic here with various problems but the community for this device is all passed away.

I got almost everything working except wifi.

Also the battery on mine only lasts like an hour or so.

How do you experience that? And do you know any address wich sells a battery?

I just need to liberate the wm part but didnt have time todo that yet.
[Shift General] jakfish:
Yeah, I was the guy that was suggesting Hardy 8.04 on the other thread, to get wifi and an increased performance (albeit with a obsolete OS).

This is a really good browser for Linux and Windows since the Shift CPU is so antiquated:

http://links.twibright.com/

As for batteries:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003CI3JQ4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

This one served me well. I also use a Tekkeon external battery, one of the older ones (non-usb) that gives me 12V (mistakenly using its adapter in the Shift jack is how I fried the power on my second Shift). They kick up on ebay, cheap, maybe $20usd.

I also liberated the Shift and use a SIM card that allows 3G for both WinMo and Hardy/Vista.

A new battery, and a lot of power saving measures, should give you around 3 hours. But in WinMo, I was able to install TextMaker and that battery life is about 15+ hours even using the 3G. The browsing stinks on WinMo, but Egress RSS install and so that's how I keep current without IE Explorer.
[Shift General] Mr_stickz:
Yeah i saw that from the other topic :P

i think i will liberate it first. And then i'm gonna tinker with ubuntu. But first christmas :P

I saw this battery on amazon

unfortunatly amazon wono't ship to Holland. and the other site from mugen power is asking 229$ for a big battery pack wich also fattens up the device...

Never found one anywhere else

and not on ebay
[Shift General] jakfish:
The Muggen is not only expensive, but it's also pretty old at this point. So I don't know what charge it would hold; certainly not the fullest.

If you've got a SIM card for the Shift, then a liberated WinMo would be the way to go--long battery life, even with your deprecated battery, email, RSS, modest browsing, and if you want to drop the 40USD, you could get TextMaker, a full-fledged word processor (though a liberated WinMo would include WinMo Word; I for one need more out of a WP).

To install TextMaker, you need to install it on another WinMo device, then copy over that Softmaker directory through WMDC or the Linix equivalent. There's just not enough space in the Shift to run the cab installation.

But your WP needs may not call for such a powerful program.

Jake
[Shift General] Mr_stickz:
I only liberate it for some games i guess on winmo

not for anything serious.

I do want a new battery but thats difficult. Maybe i can find some company that refills old Li-Po batteries.

Btw. On the amazon link you send me. it says it is a Li-Ion battery wich isnt the case. if you check the picture it is a li-po.

SHame because li-ion can be replaced with new cells when tired. lipo can't
[Shift General] jakfish:
I did not know there was a difference in cell replacement; thanks for the info.

Unless it's playing Leisure Suit Larry, it's hard to imagine the Shift as a gaming machine :)

If you have a SIM card in your phone, try using "sadapter," which is the best-built, safest SIM adapter and see if you can get on-line in WinMo. I read a lot about different SIM adapters and most are bad.

I'm using a sadapter when I went from a Galaxy S5 back down to a Nokia E7. So far, it's been a safe choice.

Jake
[Shift General] Mr_stickz:
I ran quite a few games on the win7 side.

Gta3 even runs playable.

Retro city rampage

Most of the n64 games.

Older need for speed up until part 5 the porsche edition.

Still tinkering with other games.

Yes with the batteries theres a common mis conception

Li-po is some sort of paste or gel. i dont know how to describe it. Li-ion are cells they look like little AAA batteries you put in your remote. They come in a variety of sizes and mostly in laptop batteries.
