Root CM10 progress Update Thread

I did not realize that these things were specific to a device. Thanks for the info. Any word on anyone having luck with the 4g?

Its not that its device specific. Its numbers. How many avid owners compared to galaxy owners.
 
After flashing the correct prl then a reboot followed by a battery pull I can confirm that 3G Data and SMS were working just fine.

2 things.

1. Make sure you flash the gapps package right after the .zip file. Do not let the OS boot first as I noticed it messed my permissions up on /data and no matter how many times I tried from within clockworkmod recovery it would not unmount /data or allow a proper format of the /data partition

2. If you ever need to go back to stock (which I did after my initial test) to restore your radio settings, etc I recommend flashing the stock recovery then the official update.zip to take you back to 3e recovery and stock ice cream sandwich. Mind you this will unroot your device and you'll need to re-apply root and re-flash clockwork mod recovery.

I'm gonna spend some time looking into the driver files but I think the answer to the wlan problems may lie in a driver issue or kernel module issue...

Does anyone know if totlth is running the stock kernel in his CM build or is it a customized kernel and if so when compiled did you include all of the .ko files in your /system/lib folder? Try compiling the wifi support for our hardware directly into your kernel zimage if your having troubles,.

Confirmed not working: MMS, 4G, Phone Calls

Also (not sure if it was due to a bad gapps flash) I had issues trying to add my gogle account (for play store, etc) to the device because it kept wanting to turn WIFI on instead of using the Data connection or giving me an option to skip that portion.

specifically for our device for wireless to work properly need to make sure the following is happening:

symlink("/system/lib/modules/prima/prima_wlan.ko", "/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko");

Seems we're using the prima hardware for the wlan

Gonna check now but anyone know if the file prima_wlan.ko is present in the CM10 build?

I've been adding the symlink to wlan.ko in the updater.script as well as symlinks for wiper and another lib I think its libwiper_jni.so. yes the prima_lan.ko is in build with the other modules. Don't know how to write the symlinks into the edify_generator or ota_from_target. I have been running the build with kernel inline building all modules besides prima. Then adding prima in thru device.mk file. I've also replaced kernel with stock one with same results for wifi. Been using current config for kernel. I appreciate any tips or/and advice you or anyone has.
 
What about the BoardConfig.mk file... There is a section in there something like:
WPA_SUPPLICANT_VERSION := VER_0_8_X BOARD_WLAN_DEVICE := bcm4329 BOARD_WPA_SUPPLICANT_PRIVATE_LIB := lib_driver_cmd_bcmdhd WIFI_DRIVER_MODULE_PATH := "/system/lib/modules/dhd.ko" WIFI_DRIVER_FW_PATH_STA := "/vendor/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin" WIFI_DRIVER_FW_PATH_AP := "/vendor/firmware/fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin" WIFI_DRIVER_MODULE_NAME := "dhd" WIFI_DRIVER_MODULE_ARG := "firmware_path=/vendor/firmware/fw_bcmdhd.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/nvram.txt"We need to make sure that all of these settings are correct for the prima wifi module....

Can you post the device tree and any git repos your using to make your build? I'd love to try and work out some of these issues with you.

I've been staying silent in the back until I saw you got at least some sort of data working so I can at least use my phone and test at the same time...

But I still think perhaps compiling the kernel with the prima drivers hard-coded rather than as a module might be worth a shot...

The repos are all in this thread several posts back. I will update the op with links when I get on pc. Not too sure how to hardcode prima. I've seen a few examples tho. On cm10 the wpa version build system where its building the binaries isn't quite right for our qcwcn (seems to me anyway) and I've fixed part of it with wlan folder from 10.1. I just not sure how to use the wpa version files from 10.1. I believe wifi will work straight out on 10.1 but I haven't been able get that build to boot. I have kind of been focusing on ril. So if you have ideas for wifi, that'd be awesome. I work at slow pace but its "good learnin".

Stay groovy
 
When Totlth gets quiet, you know he's doing work! Hopefully the next release is fully functional or close to it :D

This is yet another tester but, data and phone service works!!!!!!!
I have 3G and phone service with no phone crash on my end. Still no wifi or LTE but I'm still working on this and learning alot is why I am so slow. As I'm typing this I am testing google apps and have found a slight bug. I'm still gonna upload instead of making yall wait, and I think it's just a build.prop edit to fix. Data and service seems solid so far

Working:
Data : 3G 1x and phone service
MMS
Google now
Google Play
Voice Dialer

Download : cm10tester5.zip

Of to try and fix some more...stay groovy

Downloading it now, I'll confirm your fixes ASAP.

Edit: Data works, making phone calls works. For some reason when I make calls, it starts speakerphone, headset doesn't seem to work, also the radio doesn't seem to have LTE added, I had to go to CDMA/EvDo auto, is this the right radio? I'm not sure. But, it's a big step up from the last release. Anything else I find, I'll edit and add here.
 
I just was testing out the services that work and once google search updated to google now, it worked fine. Voice recognition for search and all.

That's good, means a good progress. The only things I've noticed is Headset not working, speakerphone only and 4G LTE, I'm sure there are other little things I'm still looking.

Known Issues:
Bluetooth
WiFi
GPS
4GLTE
Headset

Not sure about this being an issue, but when I go to download from google play downloads wont start until I restart my device.
 
jerryag said:
I get the 3G speeds, it just seems spotty somewhat. But, the force close issue was a good fix. Does your headset work(ear piece) when making calls?

I haven't tried yet. Been testing the network stuff. Are you able to use Google play?
 
jerryag said:
I flashed Gapps, did you incorporate that into it by default already? I wasn't sure. If so I'll re-flash and give it another try.
Click to expand...

No i didnt. I was just wondering if you could update es file explorer or google search?
 
Actually, after awhile the updates did start. It just took forever for Gplay to start the updates, I let it sit for awhile and now the updates are finished lol idk wth

Gotta get the LTE fixed.

I think it's something radio driver related, when I try to swap from LTE to CDMA auto etc on stock using an app from gplay I can swap back and forth and LTE/CDMA/EvDo is on the list but not in this, I'm not sure why that wouldn't show up. It's just not reading anything LTE related, has to be driver, you think?

Edit: Google Search confirmed working perfectly after the update. Not for closing or anything :)
Also, headphones plugged in don't appear to work.
