exton chromium os with kernel 4.14

I used extron releases for several Intel x86_64 Android flavours, he builds good stuff, & if just interested in Android, his is a good place to use...

I found out he made a build of Chromiums OS with kernel 4.14.

Just downloaded it, & will flash it to usb to see how it fares, will it boot Acer CB C720P, can it be chromefied, etc.

I do not hold my breath on this, as he said it is for "normal" PCs - whatever that means, & directed to arnoldthebat for peculiar PCs - LOL!

Just flashed it, etc.

It's Chromium OS v73

Linux Kernel 4.14.87

Linux localhost 4.14.87-08231-g4c8278b7d1d0 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 16 17:26:57 CET 2018 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2557M CPU @ 1.70GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

On MacBook Air - no WiFi - but crostini menu is on - camera works...

no Android as expected...

maybe it can be chromefied...

Will test it on Acer Iconia W700...

Highly doubt it will boot Acer Chromebook C720P...

I might try my built kernel 4.14.96 just for the heck of it, & see if I can get WiFi working on Macbook Air.

Acer Iconia W700 - all works OTB - so this is a "normal" PC for exton ;) :)

to rebuild kernel -

chronos password is exton

$ sudo modprobe configs; zless /proc/config.gz

$ cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip > ~/Downloads/exton.base.config

again same problems as before - added modules do not load when using updated kernel....

Using .config/base.config of FydeOS 5.3.1 yields better results -

I just added

CONFIG_TCG_VTPM_PROXY=m # so I can chromefy with swtpm.tar

CONFIG_SECURITY_CHROMIUMOS=n

with it, WiFi now works, but camera & crostini gone...

so what gives, what is missing to get these two back after upgrading the kernel?

It looks like building kernel separately from the full Chromium OS is wasted energy, or time wasting -

I might try to build Chromium OS full in one go at some stage, or might not :) exton & ATB did it, why not give it a go?

actually camera is back after removing it then re-installing it...

adding broadcom drivers did not bring back WiFi in Macbook Air - but WiFi still works on Acer Iconia W700

real cooking, not coding... LOL!

Also no booting to graphics GUI in Acer Chromebook C720P - obvious Google fascistic crippleware...

which means building Chromium OS above v72 from scratch is useless for Acer Chromebook C720P...
[Chromebooks] lfom:
Hello. Very interesting Wiki article about how to build and deploy ChromiumOS and well as the actual ChromeOS for Chromebook devices (the guy explicitly cites peppy/C720):

https://github.com/ds-hwang/wiki/wiki/Build-Chromium-for-Chromium-OS-and-Deploy-to-real-device

It shows how to deploy a new kernel using ssh, maybe it is useful to you. Regards.
[Chromebooks] nabil2000:
Thanks - I will soon learn how to build Chromium OS from scratch - when I can, symptoms allowing (physical & mental issues)
[Chromebooks] lfom:
And here the commands to change the kernel used in the final build:

# run this to work on the build
cros_workon --board=${BOARD} start sys-kernel/chromeos-kernel-4_19

# remove old kernel from build
emerge-${BOARD} -C sys-kernel/chromeos-kernel-4_4

# build different kernel from local source
cros_workon --board=${BOARD} start sys-kernel/chromeos-kernel-4_19
cd ~/trunk/src/third_party/kernel/v4.19
###<modify kernel config or source if you want>###
emerge-${BOARD} sys-kernel/chromeos-kernel-4_19

# build image
./build_packages --board=${BOARD} chromeos-kernel-4_19
./build_packages --board=${BOARD}
./build_image --board=${BOARD} --noenable_rootfs_verification test

FydeOS v5.3.1 is best

I think for Acer Chromebook C720P, I will settle with chromefied Cyan Caroline on top of FydeOS v5.3.1 -

it is stable, everything works, has Android, crostini, camera - Linux kernel 4.14.67 is enough -

better is the enemy of good - I have no need for Android Pie or Google Assistant.
[Chromebooks] zerbey:
Thank you for your efforts on this, I see you've put a lot of hours into this project! Do you need someone to test on an Acer 710? My report is similar to yours on ATB's builds.

ChromeOS Firmware Utility Script

I am tired of playing cat & mouse with Google - so will replace the Acer Chromebook Firmware to make it into a normal PC -

thread of experience here:

https://xdaforums.com/hardware-hacking/chromebooks/using-chromeos-firmware-utility-script-t3917229

ATB v72 booting problem solved after flashing the firmware with MrChromebox.tech firmware utility using option 3 -

3. Install/Update Custom coreboot Firmware (Full ROM)

after that it becomes a normal PC with a UEFI bootloader.

Cherry on the cake - I do not have to deal with Chrome OS pesky kernel blob, flashing firmware makes it irrelevant.

Hi!

My sister sent me her old Galaxy S7 G935A.

She wanted to root this phone, so She took it to GSM Store/service. Unfortunately, they fail rooting process and couldn't repair it :(

At the moment I see "unlocked padlock" icon next to samsung logo. Then AT&A logo appears and it won't move any further. Also, the phone is signalizing something with vibrations...

So I already tried to use various ODIN (i.e from this page: https://xdaforums.com/att-s7-edge/how-to/odin-n-7-0-g935uoym4bqd2-4-11-17-g935u-t3616834)

But I keep getting: <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Dear Developers for Moto G5S,,

We probably don`t have one bugless custom rom!

Please unite your efforts to build one fully working rom (Android 7,8 or 9) before you

start presenting every day a new rom, based on a buggy one!!

Thanks for your efforts,

Sincerly,

dau999
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] JarlPenguin:
Be satisfied with what you have. ROM developing isn't easy AT ALL. The devs are working hard on fixing issues.
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] dau999:
I know, sir. My post was not to attack any developer!! Your opinion is not equal to mine, and i did not ask for it!
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] zahidm:
Same thoughts, instead of giving a new ROM every weekend first remove bugs from most beloved ROM by people.

ROM development is not an easy task and the efforts of developers are appreciable, i admire that, it is just a Kind tiny suggestion.
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] JarlPenguin:
I don't get the point of complaining at all. Would you rather have Pie ROMs with a few bugs (that aren't important) or would you rather just be stuck with Oreo?

If you're going to complain at all at least provide logcats or something that will actually help the developers find bugs.

[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] JarlPenguin:
Then what is the point of this post? If you don't like how many bugs there are, just go back to stock. Nobody is stopping you. You're not forced to use a custom ROM. Nobody else seems to mind the issues that much.

Meanwhile Stock is the best bet for now.

When the navigation bar is enabled, the physical home/fingerprint reader works as a home button. Normally this wouldn't be a problem except when you accidentally hit it or when you're trying to unlock an app with your fingerprint and it sends you home instead.

I know that using gestures instead of the navbar would disable that button from functioning as a home button but emui 9 gestures just feel half baked.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DECloyd:
I have read that unbricking is always possible, just not always an easy action. I'm OK with "not easy" and am hoping...

I have a Motorola XT912 (Droid Razr Maxx) running (was running ) JB 4.1.2. I rooted it and just updated Safestrap to 3.75 in order to prepare for LineageOS 14.1. Safestrap was running well and I made a good NANDroid.

Here's where I went sideways and what has happened since:

I did the required wipes (paused for a while to do some additional reading) and decided to exit Safestrap in order to reboot and check an app setting. When I started the reboot, TWRP stated that there was no OS installed. I continued to reboot (I momentarily forgot about the wipes) and was shown a message that SU was not installed and was prompted to install SU (I thought that this was odd, but did that action without error) and selected Reboot when it finished.

The Motorola power-up logo displayed for the usual amount of time, but the Safestrap splash screen never appeared. After a 2-3 minutes wait, I pressed/held the Power button and the same sequence happened, again. I did this a couple of more times. After the first two times, I saw a short bar of white flash across the bottom or top of the screen before or after the Motorola logo.

I then tried every button combination (Power/Vol-down, Power/Vol-up, Power/vol-up+down), each time for 10 and, then, 30 seconds. All got either no result or the above Moto logo followed by a blank screen.

I plugged the XT912 into the PC's USB port and got nothing on the screen, but the USB connect sound happened each time that a button press resulted in the Moto logo, both when it appeared and when it disappeared.

I went to bed. The next day, pressing the Power button got nothing, as did any other button combination.

I plugged the phone in to charge (using the PC's USB port) and the power-LED lit. After an hour, I used the Power button and got nothing. I plugged it back into the USB port, saw the charging-LED light and used the Power button (10 7 30 second presses): I got nothing.

Today's status: I get no noticable response from any button combination, but I do see the charging-LED when I connect it to the PC.

The one thing that I haven't done is disconnect/reconnect the battery.

I have seen references to tools that can flash a stock image to a "dead" phone (RSD Lite).

My question is simple:

Is there any way that I can recover/unbrick my XT912, based on the above data?

If additional data will help, let me know.

My best!

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Barkuti:
Months ago installed Jaguar Oreo 8.1 on a friend's 3/32GB Zuk Z2 Plus, along with the usual bootloader unlock, TWRP 3.2.2.0 and Magisk.

Today my friend went home and we just downloaded CarbonROM 8.1.0 for a change, but upon booting to TWRP something went wrong, the screen got filled with some sort of super zoomed in error message which I couldn't decipher as a handful of letters were already enough to fill the entire width of the screen and :confused: more. We managed to reboot to system and upgraded TWRP to latest 3.2.3.0 via TWRP application. We rebooted again to recovery but same error, this time with Tux in the middle of the screen. :eek:

I asked my friend if he had installed something suspicious in his operating system, he said some pixel launcher whateverstuff via Play Store but, other than that... :rolleyes:

He went home but just sent me a screenshot of his About phone screen: his baseband version is 9-00026-M8996FAAAANAZM-1.63821.1

Could it be that his baseband version is too old? This was not a problem before, though I do not know when did his recovery stopped working.

Could this be a bootloader code problem? Any bootloader upgrading tips? :D

If some of you could discern what went wrong here, please say so.

Thanks and regards :)

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] DD3Boh:
It already happened to me thousands of times to get that big error, but as long as you don't skip the 5sec of the bootloader there is no error. Never seen the Tux thing but to fix the error itself you just need to flash a splash (custom or stock) from recovery.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] Barkuti:
Interesting…

Interesting, will have to wait a little for confirmation (once my comrade ;) tries it out).

Just checked [GUIDE] How to Create Custom Splash Screen (Boot Logo) for Zuk Z2/Z2 Pro.

Flashing a new splash.img just removes the error, doesn't it? I mean, the “bootloader unlocked” 5 second wait was non-existent in former times, my old rooted Moto G XT1032 has not such annoyance. :confused:

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] sanjay.2704:
The baseband is outdated.. The latest baseband is 1.76 or 1.70 .. Bootloader needs to be updated as well.. The best way ahead would be qpst to latest zui..

Qpst zui 1.9 and then ota update to latest zui 4.0 and then follow unlock and install latest twrp.. Be aware it does not support treble roms. Also all data on phone would be lost so back the stuff up.

Why do you say QPST ZUI 1.9 first? 0K, found related stuff here: [ROM] [OFFICIAL] [OREO] ZUI 3.5.261 ST for Z2 Plus/Z2

I had a hard time finding out how to restore DRM-keys (TA-partition) that were backed up with TA Backup v2 If you have no backup of your keys, this won't work.

I'm not allowed to post in the Backup_TA2-Thread so I just wanted post a little howto here for the search engine to find, in case anyone else may find it useful:

Boot your device into TWRP recovery

adb push [I]TA-Backup.img[/I] /sdcard

adb shell

dd if=/sdcard/[I]TA-Backup.img[/I] of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/TA

exit

Afterwards power off your device and flash a stock firmware using FlashTool. This will also re-lock the bootloader. Done.
