[I9001] [SCRIPT] [ODIN] How to create an Odin package from a cwm-zip (or backup)

The script (see below) works as follows:
1. It takes the correct files from the BaseRom folder and copies them to the BuildOdin folder
2. If boot or recovery images exist in NewRom folder (extracted from the cwm zip) it will copy them to the BuildOdin folder too
3. It will create the system.img.ext4 file in the BuildOdin folder
4. It will copy the system folder in the NewRom folder to the system.img.ext4 file
5. It will tar and md5 the files in BuildOdin folder
So make sure you have:
1. The adsp.mbn, amss.mbn, cache.img.ext4 and preload.img.ext4 in the BaseRom folder
2. The boot.img and recovery.img in the NewRom folder (or BaseRom)
3. The system folder in the NewRom folder
And run the script
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo 'Requesting password to allow running as root...'
sudo echo 'Thanks :)!'
# Make folder
if [ ! -d "BuildOdin" ]
then
mkdir BuildOdin
fi
# Copy BaseRom files
cp BaseRom/adsp.mbn BuildOdin/adsp.mbn
cp BaseRom/amss.mbn BuildOdin/amss.mbn
cp BaseRom/cache.img.ext4 BuildOdin/cache.img.ext4
cp BaseRom/preload.img.ext4 BuildOdin/preload.img.ext4
# Copy boot image
if [ -s NewRom/boot.img ]
then
cp NewRom/boot.img BuildOdin/boot.img
else
cp BaseRom/boot.img BuildOdin/boot.img
fi
# Copy recovery image
if [ -s NewRom/recovery.img ]
then
cp NewRom/recovery.img BuildOdin/recovery.img
else
cp BaseRom/recovery.img BuildOdin/recovery.img
fi
# Create system image
mysyssize=`du -s -h NewRom/system | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[M]"} {print $1}'`
mysyssizeincreased=$((mysyssize+50))
echo 'Filesize will be' $mysyssizeincreased 'MB'
echo 'dd empty image...'
dd if=/dev/zero of=BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 bs=1M count=$mysyssizeincreased >&- 2>&-
echo 'make it ext4...'
mke2fs -F -T ext4 BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 >&- 2>&-
echo 'mounting...'
sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 /mnt >&- 2>&-
echo 'copying system...'
cp NewRom/system/* /mnt -rp
sync
echo 'unmounting...'
sudo umount /mnt
# Create Odin and Odin MD5 files
cd BuildOdin
echo 'tarring...'
tar -cf MyOdinpack.tar adsp.mbn amss.mbn boot.img cache.img.ext4 preload.img.ext4 recovery.img system.img.ext4
echo 'copying...'
cp MyOdinpack.tar MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'md5sum...'
md5sum -t MyOdinpack.tar>>MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'done!'
It looks like it works. I do have some stuff I am wondering about:
1. I have added 50 MB to the filesize, with 30 MB additional I still got a not enough diskspace error. Wondering why...
2. Will it work this way? When looking at a cwm-zip it does contain a system folder but they also contain some other stuff... who knows... anyone care to test?
Well, looks like it's not all that easy. The script works, it creates a file with the exact same files as the one created with dd on the device, but for some reason when using it in Odin, it doesn't work...
Creating the Odin package is superfast now, but will still require some more testing. I guess I should do it with a ROM that I have done before... but too lazy atm...
Btw, this way I could create an Odin package from a CWM backup too If ever needed, just let me know

you could try making system.img file, then rename it to system.img.ext4. Sound foolish probably, but sometimes these double extensions are just added as an indicator. in this case for the system to look up what partition type to take. (I could be horribly wrong tho. But there are like 0 tools on internet for an ext4 maker so not many options available)

Maybe create an empty ext4 image on PC, mount loopback in cwm and copy files to it.

Create image on your phone using busybox
Edit: I updated the script.
I played a bit with the busybox:
my working dir is /sdcard/external_sd/imgtest!
DD a file of ~300MB
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=myimg.img bs=1M count=300
Create a ext4 filesystem on this img
busybox mke2fs -F -T ext4 -L Image myimg.img
Create a new /dev node, named "loop99", type "block device" (b), and some major and minor number
busybox mknod /dev/block/loop99 b 7 99
Prepare your new loop device with an img file (delete is with losetup -d /dev/block/loop99)
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop99 /sdcard/external_sd/imgtest/myimg.img
Mount it finally
busybox mount /dev/block/loop99 /sdcard/external_sd/imgtest/mymnt
Now you may copy what you want, say /system, to this img.
And unmount it (make sure it's not in use anymore)
busybox umount /dev/block/loop99
Maybe invoke some commands to check the size of /system? A quick one liner would be
busybox df /system -h | grep /system | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[M]"} {print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[.]"} {print $1}'
Could be part of the shell script, saved to a variable and increased by some MB just to make sure^^
A very quick and dirty script:
#!/bin/sh
mysyssize=`busybox df /system -h | grep /system | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[M]"} {print $2}' | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[.]"} {print $1}'`
mysyssizeincreased=$((mysyssize+20))
mkdir /sdcard/external_sd/myimages
mkdir /sdcard/mnt/
mkdir /sdcard/mnt/mymnt
cd /sdcard/external_sd/myimages
echo Filesize is $mysyssizeincreased
echo Now dd a new image for your folder
echo dd in progress...
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=myimgfile.img bs=1M count=$mysyssizeincreased
echo mke2fs with type ext4 on your file...
busybox mke2fs -F -T ext4 -L Imagename myimgfile.img
echo create new dev-node...
busybox mknod /dev/block/loop99 b 7 99
echo apply loopback setup on this node...
busybox losetup /dev/block/loop99 /sdcard/external_sd/myimages/myimgfile.img
echo mounting new image...
busybox mount /dev/block/loop99 /sdcard/mnt/mymnt
echo done!
echo
echo now copy your system files over preserving permissions...
cp /system/* /sdcard/mnt/mymnt -rp
sync
busybox umount /sdcard/mnt/mymnt
losetup -d /dev/block/loop99
rm /dev/block/loop99
echo done!
echo done!
echo done!

Save as a .sh script and execute it. I tried with some ssh server on phone and shell on my PC.
Worked fine, but to be sure a test with a restore would be needed, so treat it as highly experimental.

Very nice, much appreciated!!! Will try (convert) them on ubuntu one of these days as I'd prefer to do the job on a dual-cpu machine

Well then you should skip the steps with mknod and so on. Mount is much more powerful there, so you should be able to do it with these commands:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/image bs=1M count=300
mkfs.ext4 /tmp/image
mount -o loop /tmp/image /mnt

Hmmm... getting a "is not a block special device" message when ext4-ing in linux. Either the command file is incorrect, or I need to suppress that message somehow... more news soon

Okay!! Here's the first version of the script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo 'Requesting password to allow running as root...'
sudo echo 'Thanks :)!'
# Make folder

then
mkdir BuildOdin

echo 'copying...'
cp MyOdinpack.tar MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'md5sum...'
md5sum -t MyOdinpack.tar>>MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'done!'
It looks like it works. I do have some stuff I am wondering about:
1. I have added 50 MB to the filesize, with 30 MB additional I still got a not enough diskspace error. Wondering why...

2. The boot.img and recovery.img in the NewRom folder (or BaseRom)

And run the script

I've been searching the forums for a general way to make Odin-flashable ROMs from CWM backups. I'm particularly interested in doing this for Samsung Galaxy 10.1/8.9/7.7 tabs (Honeycomb). Many tutorials use ADB and datadumps, which is fine but is very device-specific, and I haven't found one for the Honeycomb Galaxy Tabs. Using CWM backups seem cleanest and least-device specific way.
So I *AM* interested in how you would start with a full CWM backup, and (not using any base ROMs) get an Odin-flashable .tar.md5 file.

hmmmm bht ho gya hia yaar

Hi kblam,
Well... it's still a work in progress. Not sure why it doesn't work at the moment, but here's my current script:

sudo echo 'Thanks :)!'

echo 'copying...'
cp MyOdinpack.tar MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'md5sum...'
md5sum -t MyOdinpack.tar>>MyOdinpack.tar.md5
echo 'done!'
Taking out all unnessesary comments and commands, what it's supposed to do is the following:
1. First copy the files from the BaseRom (the ones you usually do not extract either):
Code:
cp BaseRom/adsp.mbn BuildOdin/adsp.mbn
cp BaseRom/amss.mbn BuildOdin/amss.mbn
cp BaseRom/cache.img.ext4 BuildOdin/cache.img.ext4
cp BaseRom/preload.img.ext4 BuildOdin/preload.img.ext4
2. Then take the boot and recovery from another folder as they usually need to be based on another kernel (f/e Skyhigh kernel ) and/or recovery (f/e CWM/Faemod):
Code:
cp NewRom/boot.img BuildOdin/boot.img
cp NewRom/recovery.img BuildOdin/recovery.img
3. Take the size of the new image (based on the system folder size + 50):
Code:
mysyssize=`du -s -h NewRom/system | awk 'BEGIN{FS="[M]"} {print $1}'`
mysyssizeincreased=$((mysyssize+50))
4. Create an empty system image
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 bs=1M count=$mysyssizeincreased >&- 2>&-
5. Convert it to ext4
Code:
mke2fs -F -T ext4 BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 >&- 2>&-
6. Mount it and copy the new system files (can be unzipped from the cwm-zip) and unmount
Code:
sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop BuildOdin/system.img.ext4 /mnt >&- 2>&-
cp NewRom/system/* /mnt -rp
sync
sudo umount /mnt
7. The rest is same to building other md5 odin files. Combine them with tar and calculate and add the md5 sum
Code:
tar -cf MyOdinpack.tar adsp.mbn amss.mbn boot.img cache.img.ext4 preload.img.ext4 recovery.img system.img.ext4
cp MyOdinpack.tar MyOdinpack.tar.md5
md5sum -t MyOdinpack.tar>>MyOdinpack.tar.md5
As mentioned - I am not sure why the system image created this way does not work yet (I only tested it once) - maybe someone else is willing to test?

[MOD][P31XX] How to patch stock kernel to install CWM

After installing stock versions of 4.0.4, 4.1.1, or 4.1.2, the kernel will mount the recovery partition as read only so that ClockWorkMod (or any other recovery) will not install properly. Here are the commands to fix the kernel so that it mounts the recovery partition as writable and turns off secure mode:
The following commands below assume that you have already downloaded your desired firmware from sammobile.com and have extracted the boot.img (kernel) file from it using the tar utility. This tutorial is for Linux only and tested on Ubuntu 12.04.
Code:
unmkbootimg boot.img
mkdir ramdisk
cd ramdisk
gunzip -c ../initramfs.cpio.gz | cpio -i
patch -p1 < ../ro.secure.diff
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../initramfs-new.cpio.gz
cd ..
mkbootimg --kernel kernel.gz --ramdisk initramfs-new.cpio.gz --base 0x80000000 --cmdline 'console=ttyO2,115200n8 mem=1024M androidboot.console=ttyO2 vram=20M omapfb.vram=0:16M androidboot.carrier=wifi' -o new_boot.img

I have attached also below an example of the flash-able zip file used for installing the new boot.img through ClockworkMod. Just replace the boot.img inside the kernel.zip file with the new boot.img that you just created from the directions above and sign the zip (signing is optional).

[HELP][Q] How to properly repack ramdisk in order to avoid boot stuck?

Hello mates!
I've been playing with XT1097's boot.img and need some help as my boot.img fails to boot if I repack ramdisk.
Using abootimg
Extracting boot.img contents:
Code:
abootimg -x boot.img ==> produces bootimg.cfg, initrd.img and zImage files in the current directory
Updating boot.img contents without touching ramdisk (using the one extracted in the previous step):
Code:
abootimg -u boot.img -r initrd.img
If I extract initrd.img and try to repack it, then system fails at boot:
Extracting ramdisk (initrd.img) contents:
Code:
abootimg-unpack-initrd ==> produces a ramdisk subdir
Repacking without modyfing ramdisk folder contents:
Code:
abootimg-pack-initrd newramdisk.img
Updating boot.img with newramdisk.img
Code:
abootimg -u boot.img -r newramdisk.img
Even though the generated boot.img's size matches the original one - 10444800 bytes - system gets stuck at boot logo.
The same issue happens if I use these tools combined:
mkbootimg, unmkbootimg, gzip and cpio
Any ideas are welcome

[KERNEL] {WIP} Port Lollipop 5.1 Source -> AOSP Marshmallow 6.0 [Device_a32e]

Currently Building Bootable Android 5.1 Kernel From HTC DEV Source.
(THIS IS THE STOCK 5.0.1 / RUU Version = 1.23.1550.3 CL637541 RELEASE-KEYS)
Linux version 3.10.49-perf-g26c2269 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 31 02:35:36 CST 2015
This has been compiled and will boot on the device.
NOTE: WI-FI IS NOW WORKING
NOTE: DT Blobs broken:Fixed by using Blobs pulled from the device.}
WORK IN PROGRESS !!
Currently HTC has not released the Kernel Source for Marshmallow 6.0.1.
Solution: Port the 5.0.1 HTC Source by merging with AOSP device/lge/bullhead-kernel
Current Status:
WORKING KERNEL NO CHANGES FROM STOCK
Will Build for other Devices upon request.
Anyone who wishes to contribute to this project would be appreciated.
I'm in the process of setting up the GIT and the project on XDA.

Setting Up To Test 3.10.49-perf-g26c2269 Kernel Build
First I would like to mention that a full LINUX Development Environment is required to perform most of these tasks. If you don't have the development environment set up then please do the necessary research.
To test YOUR development environment and the HTC-DEV Kernel Source it is necessary to perform the following steps.
1 ) If you are currently running Marshmallow 6.0.1 you will need to downgrade the device to Lollipop 5.0.1 using the RUU. Please note that the Lollipop RUU is no longer available on the HTC-DEV site. Don't worry we will be going back to Marshmallow but need to test in lollipop first.
Please see the following thread for instructions on downgrading the HTC Desire 626s.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/development/metropcs-htc-626s-to-lollipop-t3460391
:good:
2) Download the Kernel Source Code from the HTC-DEV Site.
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
If you use the filter for device and select desire 626s you will see only the 626s kernel sources.
The device I have = HTC Desire 626s (a32eul) " Carrier Metro-PCS"
The Kernel Source I am using.
Device= Desire626s Carrier=HTC Region= Gen Unlock Type=CRC
Kernel Version=3.10.49 Android Version=v5.1 Size=548 MB Description=1.06.617.6

Backup the device boot.img & Unpack / Split the kernel + ramdisk + dt.img.
Now we are all on the same page. " Same Setup Fresh Install "
Lets get down to business.
I'm going to go through the steps that I use. If you plan to work along with this project I recommend that you keep the same directory structure that I have. This way all the commands I give you will work. You may wish to change the directory structure but if you do.... remember you will need to adjust the commands accordingly.
So from a brand new fresh install.
#1 install twrp recovery
#2 install supersu
#3 Open supersu on phone
#4 Make sure usb debugging is turned on ect. ect. ect.
#5 Lets get the boot.img from the device.
Connect the device to the computer
From this point forward all commands are executed in the Linux terminal shell.
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Copy boot partition to the external sd card.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=sdcard2/Boot.img
Pull the boot.img to the computer.
If still in adb shell exit out.
Code:
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard2/Boot.img
#6 Setup some directories and move the boot.img into our project.
Code:
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/
mv Boot.img ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/
cp ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/Boot.img ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/
#7 We need AIK-Linux boot tools. Download them from the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775
Please do use these bootimg tools. You might have others but AIK-Linux unpacks and repacks the image files as "ROOT".
Using other tools or not unpacking / repacking as ROOT will cause a bootloop specifically in Marshmallow even if the boot.img is good.
Code:
mv ~/Downloads/AIK-Linux-v2.4-ALL.tar.gz ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux
tar -xvzf ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/AIK-Linux-v2.4-ALL.tar.gz
rm -f ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/AIK-Linux-v2.4-ALL.tar.gz
mv -v ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/AIK-Linux/* ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/
rm -d ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/AIK-Linux
Ok I know ????????
You want to know what we need the boot image for anyway !!
The a32e_defconfig file that comes with the HTC-DEV source code is not the exact configuration that HTC used when they built the kernel.
We want to start out with the same configuration RIGHT!!
Yes we do...... and after we have a verified working Kernel.......then we can start making changes.
In a nutshell /proc/config.gz will not work to pull the existing configuration. HTC did not enable that option. Lucky for us there is another way to generate the configuration file & that's reason #1 that we need the boot.img. There is another reason but we will get to that later. ( Other than having a Backup of the boot.img LOL. )
#8 Unpack the boot.img
Code:
sudo ./unpackimg.sh Boot.img
Make sure you use "sudo" it is nessessary.
The output should be
~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux$ sudo ./unpackimg.sh Boot.img

Getting Running Kernel Configuration
#1 Lets get the current running Kernel Version
Code:
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/
Code:
dd if=kernel bs=1 skip=$(LC_ALL=C grep -a -b -o $'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' kernel | cut -d ':' -f 1) | zgrep -a 'Linux version'
My output is as follows.
Linux version 3.10.49-perf-g26c2269 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.7 (GCC) ) #2 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 31 02:35:36 CST 2015

Hopefully you see or know why this is important to us.
In order for our new kernel to load and not reject existing modules the version of the new kernel must match.
Linux version 3.10.49-perf-g26c2269
And also the 26c2269 is the number we need,
to match the exact commit of the source code that this specific kernel was built upon.
In theory when we checkout a branch and that would be used as part of the tag.
Right now the most important thing to us is the "-perf"
And the ".-g26c2269"
We will need those soon.
Now lets get that .config / a32e_defconfig file.
Wayy back in step number 2 of the 1st post you were supposed to get the HTC-DEV Kernel source.
If you didn't it's time we need it now.
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
When you get to the HTC-DEV download page just filter by device and select desire 626s.
#1 Set Up Basic HTC-DEV Source Directory Structure
Code:
cd
mkdir ~/android
mkdir ~/android/device
mkdir ~/android/device/a32e
mkdir ~/android/device/a32e/platform
#2 Setup the Kernel Source
Code:
mv ~/Downloads/a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.zip ~/android/device/a32e/a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.zip
unzip ~/android/device/a32e/a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.zip -d ~/android/device/a32e/
rm -f ~/android/device/a32e/a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.zip
cd ~/android/device/a32e/
tar -xvzf ~/android/device/a32e/248_kernel_a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.tar.gz
rm ~/android/device/a32e/248_kernel_a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327.tar.gz
mv -v ~/android/device/a32e/248_kernel_a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327/* ~/android/device/a32e/
rm -rf ~/android/device/a32e/248_kernel_a32eul-3.10.49-perf-ga4d7327
mv ~/android/device/a32e/platform.tar.gz ~/android/device/a32e/platform/
#3 Pull the config from the kernel
Code:
cd ~/android/device/a32e/scripts/
./extract-ikconfig ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/Boot.img-zImage > Big-Country_defconfig
mv -f Big-Country_defconfig ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs/ORIGINAL/
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs/Big-Country_defconfig ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs/ORIGINAL/
Open up the Big-Country_defconfig
It is in the folder ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs
Open it with G-Edit or whatever text editor you use.
Search for CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=
and change it to CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-g26c2269"
Open up the main makefile. in the folder ~/android/device/a32e/Makefile
VERSION = 3
PATCHLEVEL = 10
SUBLEVEL = 49
EXTRAVERSION =
NAME = TOSSUG Baby Fish
At the top of the file change EXTRAVERSION =
EXTRAVERSION = -perf
Now lets backup the edited Big-Country_defconfig.
Code:
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs/Big-Country_defconfig ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/
Now were cooking.

Preparing and Building the Kernel
#1 Get the GCC Toolchain
First if you have a dev environment set up you should have a repo set up.
If not go to aosp site to see how yo set up a repo.
https://source.android.com/source/downloading.html
Then get the toolchain
Code:
cd
mkdir ~/android/Toolchains
mkdir ~/android/Toolchains/prebuilts
cd ~/android/Toolchains/prebuilts
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8
Were gonna use the 4.8 toolchain.
[email protected]:~/android/Toolchains/prebuilts$ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8

#2 Initialize the Kernel Build
Go to the home path of the kernel
Code:
cd
cd ~/android/device/a32e/
Export the required variables.
Code:
export TOP=~/android/Toolchains/
export PATH=$TOP/prebuilts/arm-eabi-4.8/bin:$PATH
export ARCH=arm
export SUBARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=~/android/Toolchains/prebuilts/arm-eabi-4.8/bin/arm-eabi-
Clean out any old left over stuff from previous builds.
Code:
make clean
make mrproper
Dont worry about this warning it's not a problem.
/home/bigcountry/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile:228: warning: overriding recipe for target `dtbs'
/home/bigcountry/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile:228: warning: ignoring old recipe for target `dtbs'
Initialize the configuration for our device.
Code:
make Big-Country_defconfig
This warning is also ok.

If your curious and want to see how many settings there are.
Just don't change anything for the first run.
Code:
make menuconfig
Were ready to compile
set -j to the number of cores your computer has.
Code:
make prepare
make all -j8
In about 5 min or less you will have a compiled kernel.
after you see the zimage output message
The last 2 lines output from the build.
OBJCOPY arch/arm/boot/zImage
Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready
Code:
make modules -j8
Then you should see:
[email protected]:~/android/device/a32e$ make modules -j8
CHK include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h
CC scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.s
GEN scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.h
HOSTCC scripts/mod/file2alias.o
HOSTLD scripts/mod/modpost
CHK include/generated/utsrelease.h
make[1]: `include/generated/mach-types.h' is up to date.
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 24 modules
During the build:
You will see 1 warning message for an uninitialized jump.
And 4 warning messages about relying on default adress.
Thats the broken dtb issue.
No worry for now. We will repack the boot.img with the new kernel zImage and use the original dt.img.
Good enough for this test.
Also as i mentioned we have to build the wifi module out of the tree.
We will get to that. So in this state the kernel will boot and the device functions with exception to wifi.
Remember this run is just to test the baseline system and source code.

Packing The Kernel Into Boot.img
First lets backup our kernel config files.
Code:
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/.config ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/.config.old ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs/Big-Country_defconfig ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Configs
Now lets copy all the modules and kernel z-image we built.
Code:
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/zimage
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/modules
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/boot/zImage ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/zimage/kernel
cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/boot/zImage-dtb ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/
shopt -s globstar
cp **/*.ko ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/modules/
Compare the new kernel version to the original version.
Code:
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/zimage
dd if=kernel bs=1 skip=$(LC_ALL=C grep -a -b -o $'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' kernel | cut -d ':' -f 1) | zgrep -a 'Linux version'
Code:
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/
dd if=kernel bs=1 skip=$(LC_ALL=C grep -a -b -o $'\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' kernel | cut -d ':' -f 1) | zgrep -a 'Linux version'

Repack the Boot Image.
For now we are just using the original ramdisk and original dt.img.
Later on we will make some changes and then repack.
Were just making sure things boot first.
We have to do this as root.
Code:
sudo
Copy all files needed to AIK Linux for Repacking.
Code:
sudo cp -r ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/ramdisk ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/ramdisk
sudo cp -r ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/Boot/split_img ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/split_img
sudo cp -f ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/boot/zImage ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/split_img/Boot.img-zImage
Repack the Boot.img.
Code:
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux
sudo ./repackimg.sh
Yaaayyyy Now we have a boot.img we can flash. (For Testing / Developing Only)
Copy the boot image to our project.
Code:
mkdir ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/New-Boot
sudo cp -f ~/a32e-kernel-build/Tools/AIK-Linux/image-new.img ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/New-Boot/image-new.img

Flashing the New Boot Image
Flash and test Boot the new Kernel
#1 Boot the phone into download mode
Connect the device to the computer
Boot into download mode using the power and volume down key after turning off the device.
Or boot to download mode using adb.
Code:
adb reboot download
#2 Flash the boot image
Code:
cd ~/a32e-kernel-build/Device-Files/New-Boot/

We will need to get source code from somewhere.
This I believe is a Qualcomm Module for the MSM8909 Board
core_ctl.ko
We will need to figure this one out.
This Is for large sd card support
texfat.ko
We will need to figure this one out.
So far with our extraversion and localversion settings during compile the original modules still work.
Long term we really want to be able to build theese

RE-Boot and run your new kernel and modules with a smile.

Customizing the Kernel
Changing and Customizing The Kernel

SUCCESS !! ( Build the Prima / Pronto Wlan Module)
Fix ADD the DTB Blob to the Source
reserved space

I'm so glad somone is doing this I've been wanting a new kernel for a while and I think this might help make a path to new roms

This looks great. Can't wait to see where this goes. What can I do to help?

@zixxorb
You can run through with all of this and get the kernel running on your device.
Right now im working on getting the missing modules to build.
So you can work on that to.
The modules that are generated during the compile function properly.

Ok, so I'm more of a noob to doing anything with kernels, idk what I need to do exactly. Plus I'm already on 6.0 (this is my main phone)

The Most Valuable Document Ever
This is exactly what we need to answer some questions.
Authored by Qualcomm and one of the hardest things to find.
Make sure to copy this wile you can.
It's practically Top Secret.
https://github.com/dante198406/Qual...0-NR964-4_C_MSM8909_LA_SW_User_Manual_SPD.pdf
Get it wile you can !!

Just a general update.
I have updated the modules install section.
It now includes the instructions for installing the new modules.
The modules have been tested and seem to operate without issues.

Will this work for the sprint variant?
I'm a noob so pls permit me if this question sounds foolish. All through the tutorial, it seems this kernel is for the Metro PCs. Will it work for the sprint variant of 626s?

This tutorial is based off of the Metro-Pcs version.
The HTC-DEV site has separate source code for each device carrier.
You would follow everything exactly except.
1 ) From the HTC-DEV site download the source code for your specific carrier.
For sprint download sprint.
For t-mobile download t-mobile.
Set the device filter on the website to be desire626s
and you will get this.
2 ) in the section #2 Setup the Kernel Source
There are commands for unzipping the source file.
You will need to change the filename in the command to match the filename you downloaded.
After the first untar / unpack you will need to get the kernel filename.
Change that filename in the commands as well.
3) When you edit the version info.
Open up the Big-Country_defconfig
It is in the folder ~/android/device/a32e/arch/arm/configs
Open it with G-Edit or whatever text editor you use.
Search for CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=
and change it to CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-g26c2269"
CHANGE
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-g26c2269"
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-your device version"
You can get the version as i showed you in previous post.
4) The rest is all the same.
AS far as the kernel and modules that have been uploaded here, they are for the Metro Pcs Version. ( And Lollipop NOT Marshmallow)
I will build the others later when i finish more of this project.
ALSO YOU CAN USE THIS TUTORIAL TO BUILD THE KERNEL FOR ANY DEVICE.
Things will change here and there but generally speaking all of the steps you need to follow are the same.
