Database Develop

Unusal issue

morning folks, just looking for a bit of help, just got a nexus 7 week or two ago and am looking to work on my owmn personal mods to kernel etc (probably wont release any as yet) but every boot image i try to flash wont boot at all - even fastboot boot refuses to do anything, any ideas what my issue is

Does not boot...any sign of life after the flash, or does the flash itself fail? I believe you have unlocked the bootloader but it's still worth a check.

bootloader is unlocked yes, if i do fastboot boot boot.img it just sits at bootng downloaded image, if i flash the img it sits at google logo permanently

This is the dev section, threads not related to development does not belong here, questions goes to the Q&A section..
And it seems that you device is done for..
Beamed from my Maguro.

Not really as it is dev related as its related to my own development on the device, its not device as I'm using it now after reflashin 4.3

Okay the only kernels that will work on 4.3 properly are faux's kernel, vorcer's kernel and Tasssadar's kexec kernel. Others won't work.

Problem is no kernel will boot including on 4.2 it seems like I may not be building boot right or something

Try the zImage separately. If it works and you still need help creating a boot.img, lemme know.

I'm no expert, so I can't help, but it seems like you are being very vague. You do not have any clue as to steps you took that are possibly incorrect? It just seems like you won't get much help if you don't share some details. I could be wrong.

I can share details as needed, not being intentionally vague and have been building kernels for android for some time hence I am pretty experianced but suspect n7 has some slightly different ways of building a working boot IMG than I'm used to

Try what I said. If the zImage works for you then you are aren't packing the boot.img correctly.

Hello DJ_Steve,
Familiar with you from your work on the Dell Streak 7. If you don't find a solution, try the developer only discussion thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2071
Looking forward to any work that you may do for the N7.

Try erasing boot then flash the stock boot image again?

I agree.
Flash a stock boot.img for the ROM version you are on then use koush's any kernel method to flash the zImage.

Boot image

Is there any way I can get the android boot image installed on 2.0 so I can install it on 1.5? I tried to find where the boot image is stored on my 1.5 phone, but have not yet found it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I want the little green android to put in place of the skull. I will also need instructions on how to switch the files. I tried to find an explanation, but couldn't. Thanks!

That is in the kernel...
You must change it in the kernel source, and then compile the kernel. Cam posted a tool a while back somewhere on the AOIP thread. You need a linux distro though

Damn. That sounds beyond my level of ability. I read about the tool, but couldn't find it. Thanks, anyway. Guess I'll just have to wait.

If you want it so bad then why don't you try to make it happen?
Since there is root, it shouldn't be impossible to start by dumping partitions and share them to make it available for whoever want's to take a look at it.

i posted the partitions in my root thread.. and there is download mode get quick boot pro and you can get to it..
also i was going to work on a recovery but the website that builds them has been down. and I dont really want to configure a whole fedora box and start from there.

this is really strange! i try the 3 button combo when I get this phone and didn't work but I try again today and yes it has the (download mode) and the (3e recovery) :what:

I have a G730A and I want CyanogenMod 10.2. I am willing to help develop and test. I have very basic programming skills, and some Linux skills (currently do not have Linux installed though). If I am told what to do I can research how to do it and get it done. I just need instructions.
And if having linux is going to make it way easier, I can install it. I prefer Ubuntu but I can work with Fedora.

there isnt, using the same ones we been using.

Thanks for the link playful. Got a question though. I did the three wipe method (dalvik, cache, and system) like you said and flashed the cm11 both downloads I download numerous times ,I thought maybe I got a bad download. And both downloads every time I flash comes up "failed" I'm on 4.2.2 rooted with twrp installed. I reran your freedom apk to make sure the f340 aboot was installed. And still nothing. About 10 sec after the "updating partitions" line comes up it pops up in twrp "failed". Any suggestions? Hints?

Your instructions I see don't actually say to wipe system does that make a difference? And also your instructions describe the cwm recovery options. Should I be using cwm instead?

Twrp doesn't like 4.3 and higher. Don't have a clue why. Cwm Will do the trick. Which is a bummer for me because I really prefer twrp.

[REQUEST] Custom kernel for our device

Hi everyone!
As many of you know, the stock kernel on our device is really bad. Only 4 cores are working even when you are performing heavy tasks like gaming and even in benchmarks, 4 cores are always sleeping. Only time i saw them working was when i used a CPU stresser app.
If someone was able to make a custom kernel which would utilize all 8 cores it would make our devices so much faster!

for me us faster enough, what I miss on kernel are Otg drivers

In order to compile a custom kernel, first We need the kernel sources from Huawei, and (at least for Marshmallow) they haven't released a fully working one yet.

Well, I'd switch back to lolipop if there was a custom kernel for it. Only thing i really like about marshmallow is the smaller navigation bar and permissions and I could live without those features.
