Root CM10 progress Update Thread

An to think all this started because I asked for theme chooser to be on your first Rom as a feature :) been away from the forums for awhile but glad to see I came back to see good progress being made.
 
Got adb ironed out. Working on wifi. Don't believe I have it set properly on BoardConfig.mk. Looking in to that now. Just fyi, when I troubleshoot things or make builds, I not only look for solution, but I look for the "why it is" as well. That was just so y'all know why I work as slow as I do.
Will crank out another tester as soon as I get the wifi figured out.

Stay groovy y'all

With ADB you can now logcat, have you given logcat a shot to see what libs the system may be bitching about?

That's what I'm doing now. Just not too experienced with it.

Release a booting version with maybe USB Mounting and ADB fixed and we can help you logcat this better so you're not in the blind all alone looking for what's missing, maybe a few of us can throw you a bone through logging and comparing.

I agree, just haven't uploaded it yet. Will upload it shortly
 
As for the wifi, its a lil confusing looking through existing files like the ones in etc, its looking for wcnss module when the symlink in phone from kernel wifi module is named wlan. Not sure if we can just rename the symlink or not. Also the modem files exist on phone but are not being called. I don't know why the modem links init isn't bring ran. Just a lil background of what I've found so far. Also fixed the codec issue. Ringtonrs and audio effects work now just haven't tried any video yet.

I think you would have to recompile kernel with the module that it's looking for, that may work out. Renaming might not work but, you can attempt it and let us know how that goes.

The actual module is prima_wlan.ko. there is a symlink to wlan.ko whick is not actually a file. That's what I was talking bout renaming. Still not sure tho, just brainstorming. The kernel doesn't compile the wifi module inline with build so I've added it to make file. I have device tree setup to compile kernel inline.
 
Download cm10tester3.zip

adb working, audio working, haven't tried video.

Any help or comments are appreciated. I'm not very experienced with logcat so I'm sure someone will find some things that I did not. I do know that the wifi isn't being recognized it says file not found or something along those lines. I've been using the adt-bundle to get and read the logcats'

Stay groovy
 
So just to make sure I understand correctly with your latest tester update, the only thing that's not working is data through the cell network and wifi, and video is unknown?

I'm not very familar with logcat myself. But, I was asking Shabby for some advice and he summed it up to being, it could be Kernel is missing stuff, build.prop or just some missing system libs that logcat and dmesg would help log and could tell you what the system is complaining about not being found to guide you in the right direction.

Moot point. I checked on the node its looking for in the init.qcom.wifi.sh and it is present and named correctly
 
Confirmed video not working. Plays audio from vid but has black screen. I believe I have it debugged tho. Will know when new build spits out.
 
From the way it seems, totlth is having a nice time debugging. It started out without even touch screen. He's quickly fixed the touch and some other things. By the time he's finished he'll be able to build a CM port in just a few days with how much he's had to learn. I hope he gets cellular data soon though !

I have identified the wifi problem, still working on solution. Still looking for reason the modem firmware isn't loading, logcat doesn't help me with that one, unless its my lack of experience with logcat. Not a lot to reference from online. Solutions that worked for similar devices don't work for ours. I have synced the caf repo for msm8960 to see if it will help me track some things down. Basically, I'm doing a lot of trial and error stuff for remaining issues.
 
What other issues are there? And is there anything that an inexperienced user might be able to do to help? I'm pro level on microsoft products but I'm n00b on Linux.
