That GitHub repository lacks a defconfig for the TB-8704F (WiFi-only variant), which I have. Will the TB-8704X (LTE variant) kernel work on the TB-8704F out of the box without adjustments or will adjustments be needed for the kernel to boot? Also, how do I extract the defconfig from my device?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Phoenix09:
it might work, I don't know.

to extract the config:

you'll need mkboot

backup boot with TWRP, transfer boot.img to PC

extract boot.img:

./mkbootimg_tools/mkboot boot.img boot

decompress kernel:

cd boot
zcat kernel > kernel.out

extract the config:

/path/to/kernel/source/scripts/extract-ikconfig kernel.out > defconfig.txt
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] GuestD0786:
I backed up boot to a microSD card in TWRP recovery. However, there are three files in the backup folder of the microSD: one called 'boot.emmc.win', one called 'boot.emmc.win.sha2', and one called 'recovery.log'

The first file could possibly contain boot.img, but how do I extract it? The second one contains a SHA2 checksum for the first file. The third one is a more detailed log of what was happening in TWRP.

EDIT: Simply renaming boot.emmc.win to boot.img seems to have done the trick. Just extracted it, will look into it now.

EDIT 2: Managed to extract the defconfig and copied it over to the arch/arm64/configs folder and renamed it to tb8704f_defconfig. I then made defconfig and started compiling. Unfortunately same error. Something about topology.c is either broken on this kernel or my version of gcc is unable to parse something in topology.c. Even on the version off of GitHub. You said it was working for you, just curious, what Linux distro are you using? I'm happy to install it into a VM and compile the kernel from that. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and have tried compiling both on my host and in a systemd container, but same error.

EDIT 3: Yeah, it's an issue with my gcc compiler, because it doesn't error out at topology.c on an Ubuntu 16.04 systemd container with gcc 5 vs the Ubuntu 18.04 host and container I tried building it on with gcc 7 which did error out at topology.c. It's compiling right now in the Ubuntu 16.04 container and I do hope that it doesn't error out at another stage. It seems to be building well so far.

EDIT 4: I'm currently building it with the tb8704f_defconfig file I extracted from the tablet's boot image. Working well so far. I'm gonna build it without any modifications to the .config file and then flash it to the tablet to see if it works before making modifications with menuconfig. If this compilation goes well, I'll start making modifications with menuconfig.

EDIT 5: Kernel built, now I've got a file called 'Image' as well as Image.gz and Image-dtbs.gz Gzip archives. How do I flash these to the tablet?
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Phoenix09:
I'm pretty sure 3.18 won't built with GCC newer than 4.9 (at least without a lot of patches), I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and Google's toolchain

replace kernel in the unpacked boot image with Image-dtbs.gz, repack using:

mkboot boot/ new-boot.img

then you can flash that using the "flash image" option in TWRP
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] GuestD0786:
Got bootlooped when doing this, but thankfully I made a backup of my previous boot partition so I could restore in TWRP.

Unfortunately, I don't think we're getting very close to making custom ROMs for this tablet. Maybe the reason I got bootlooped was because you used files from the Pixel kernel for the missing files on your GitHub repository. I wonder if files from the Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus kernel (which has been compiled in the past because there are custom ROMs available for this tablet) could be used instead.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] Phoenix09:
the files I used from the Pixel kernel were probably generic Qualcomm stuff, I had the exact same issues with the 10 Plus kernel, I can play with it more when I get mine on Thursday.

Edit: I checked properly, they're generic Linux ones, those wouldn't affect booting (all netfilter stuff).

Edit 2: Have opened a ticket about the broken source, let's see if we get anywhere.

Edit 3: There is definitely issues with their source, repacked the stock boot image without modifying it and that boots, repacking it with my compiled kernel does not.
[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] smegatron:
Hi Guys. Great to see people working on this. Will be great to eventually see a ROM for the tab 8 4. Best of luck.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] timj3371:
can I use jflte instead of jfltetmo

Looks like its universal or unified

Not sure

Thanks
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
Typically the jfltexx is what is inclusive with the SGH-M919 jfltetmo device.

There's some developments that use the jflte that also includes the jfltetmo device but, not all of them includes it.

Regarding the jfltexx, that is supposed to include the jfltetmo.

Regarding the jflte, that would require you to look at the OP and, if needed, post a question regarding it being compatible with the jfltetmo as well.

Good Luck! :)

Hello pascua28,

read the OP posted. like the ideas of stability + battery life focus.

"Intelli-kernel is designed for optimum user experience by focusing on speed and battery life without sacrificing stability in anyway. Uses Any Kernel method for maximum compatibility between different ramdisks"

flashed short while ago. phone booting up. eager to test.

Add in kernel

I really really like this kernel, is one of the best kernels for tw roms, so please add 2 more thing in it:

1.KCAL (Screen RGB Control) would be perfect,

2.Fast Charging would be another good thing.

As you probably know Gmail's nimble sibling Inbox is about to be deprecated. Google announced that its defining features would be moved to Gmail but Bundles, its killer streamlining ability, has yet to appear, never mind the actual bundles I have created and customized over years. However, the app "will be going away in 13 days," it says on its splash screen today.

Does anyone know what that'll actually mean? Will the app stop receiving updates, no longer work or even be unilaterally deleted from my devices by Google? Are there any thoughts on keeping it working for a while after Google pulls the plug?

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Ezdilan:
So here is the thing. I want to use the gestures control with navigation bar, and did some dig about it.

It seems that fluid NG is my best option here(if there is anything better with rooted system, you are more than welcome to make me a suggestion xD).

So I downloaded it and installed. So far so good except one thing : The original navigation buttons still there ! T-T

like this:

They are not functioning anymore, but just stayed there on top of the bottom apps' icons.

So is there something like adb commands, or other addons to completely remove them as they won't be needed anymore?

P.S. I have tried :

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*

But once you click around the bottom area they comeback for a short duration.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Styler911:
i found this on stackoverflow. maybe it works for you:

There are Two ways (both requiring device root) :

1- First way, open the device in adb window command, and then run the following:

adb shell >

su >

pm disable com.android.systemui >

and to get it back just do the same but change disable to enable.

2- second way, add the following line to the end of your device's build.prop file :

qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1

then to get it back just remove it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] xpt1:
hi! i tryed the app now, and you can disable the navigation Buttons in the fluid app, it works for me at the fist start.

Maybe u should install the app again ?

Hi, I have experience with machine learning and I can handle this. But getting pairs of IMEI/unlock codes from others might not be an easy task due to privacy issues involved. AFAIK IMEI posting on this board is forbidden.

Just look at the honor play thread: https://xdaforums.com/honor-play/how-to/unlock-bootloader-unofficial-free-t3914658

Hi,

I have managed to put the P20 in tespoint mode

[IMG="Testpoint mode for P20 EML-L29"]https://i.ibb.co/8x0SfjP/PBHUP20-2-grande.jpg[/IMG]

and tried to flash the twrp using the method described in that post and I got the successful PASS message. The testpoint mode allows temporary bootloader unlock.

[IMG="Unlocked Bootloader in tespoint mode"]https://i.ibb.co/KVnWTpM/unlocked.png[/IMG]

however, even if I immediately pressed the volume up button and unplugged the usb to prevent the phone to overwrite the recovery with the default eRecovery at reboot, it still brings me to the default eRecovery (no twrp shown).

I tried to set again the tespoint mode and flashed the twrp img with fastboot using this command

flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img

[IMG="Twrp flasshing in fastboot mode"]https://i.ibb.co/Bn6hsYW/twrp.png[/IMG]

tbe flash returned OK on both sending and writing but I couldn't get the twrp shown as it pointed me again to the eRecovery (I rebooted the phone directly in recovery mode)

I tried to flash several images but without success (messages returned are OKAY but I don't think they were really written)

Does the testpoint mode actually allows to write files or just emulates the status messages returned? I think I miss something.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] panjaksli:
Did you edit the XML file in the program's folder ? It has the device code name in it(but for honor play) and also paths to the files to be flashed. Also maybe you need specific bootloader and fastboot(recovery) image for the P20 ? I would try it with patched imgs for p20 which should be somewhere here on this xda forum. And btw. you've got some balls to disassemble your phone just for experimenting with bootloader unlock :D

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

Wait, that screen says your phone is unlocked ??? Then I would try this https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p20/development/root-huawei-p20-pie-emui-9-t3892601 or https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p20/how-to/guide-how-to-finally-root-emui9-t3883295
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] sorinbotirla:
no I haven't changed the xml file. Just kept the files in place (with the right paths to ramdisk image). I will give a try to other images. To dissasemble the phone I have bought an ifixit pro set and heated the cover with a heatgun to melt the glue.

Here is a tutorial to disassemble the P20

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4udqBEK0wQ

After I put my phone in testpoint mode, the fastboot menu shows the Unlocked status for the bootloader (Phone: unlocked). This is just a temporary unlock and it requires putting the phone in testpoint mode again when you need to unlock it.
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] panjaksli:
Waiiit, if it unlocks phone temporary, if you bridge it, what about soldering those leads together ? Does it still boot normally into system, or just straight up into the bootloader ?
[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] sorinbotirla:
LoL that's why I like this board. It comes along with amazing people like you. I haven't yet tried to solder them but the testpoint doesn't automatically boot the phone into fastboot You can boot normally. It is possible that you might just solved one of the biggest issues on the Huawei community.

Yet. I still have to test it to confirm that a temporary bootloader unlock can be simply converted into permanent by just soldering testpoints.

I will keep you updated

[Huawei P20 Guides, News, & Discussion] sorinbotirla:
1. install Python on your pc

2. install fastboot and adb on your pc

3. enable developer options on your phone

4. enable "allow oem unlock" in developer options

5. connect the phone to your pc with usb and allow usb debugging confirmation (also check the "trust this computer" checkbox)

6. create a file called "unlockBootloader.py" and copy paste the code inside it.

7. open cmd/terminal/powershell and navigate to the file.

8. run python unlockBootloader.py and then leave the room and buy other phone. Also don't forget to live your life. You'll need it later in the next steps.

9. ???????

10. return when you are 120 years old and hope your phone is unlocked (which I doubt)

11. enjoy your unlocked Huawei and die happy few seconds later.

12. profit

Did you try even more, and did you have any better success, how about rooting, custom ROM, custom kernel, custom recovery, did you end up getting the recovery replaced with TWRP permanently?

And did you end up getting it to stay permanently without any involvement of soldering the test points? (even if that sounded as it turned out to be a failure.)

And have you been installing a update-able ROM, and how is it going with the updates then? Without further problem or?

I ask since I'm about to do the same thing, otherwise, I'll try to see if someone wants to replace their cellphone with mine, so I can get one that has my future's that I request.
