Root Help needed.

[jianC]

I'm trying to collect data for existing panel types for all the variants of our phones so I can rewrite the panel for an upcoming 3.0 kernel. So far, the panel init code identifies 3 different types but chances are, not all of them are actually used.

Could someone do me a favor and boot into recovery and, with your phone connected to adb on the computer, input "dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt" and then send the results to me with ge.tt? Please tell me which carrier your merge is on (Verizon Wireless, USC, Cspire, etc)

Thanks in advance!

with ge.tt? i may need a lil explanation on that one.

i can do this for you at some point today,but im off to work atm,and i dont think my merge is currently running a custom recovery.

does it matter what rom is installed?

ge.tt, or whatever file hosting service you use. If you don't want to upload the file, just copy the contents of dmesg.txt to pastebin.com.

It doesn't matter what kernel/rom/recovery you use because they all print the hardware info we need on boot.

didnt look thru the dump,and wasnt sure if it contained any personal info,so pm sent to pastebin

Alright, thanks! There shouldn't be any personal info in dmesg since it only prints hardware/kernel information.

If a few more people with USC/Cspire or even 610d's could give me their dmesg, that would be awesome..

for those willing to help,but arent quite sure what to do,heres a bit more detail:
-open a cmd window
-change to adb/fastboot directory
-boot to recovery
-enter following command:

adb shell dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt

-this will(should) dump a text file called dmesg onto your sd card. mount sd card as usb storage,open the text file,highlight everything, and paste it at www.http://pastebin.com/. post or send jianc the link.

for some reason i couldnt get it to work that way(got cannot find the specified path errors)

what i did was:

adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt

wich dumps the text file to your adb/fastboot folder.

hopefully we can get jianc what hes looking for so new better,faster,cooler roms can be built.

holler if you have questions

Thanks felipeferras! Both the VZW and USC merges, based on the dmesg's sent (it may be too early) appear to only use the sharp panel. I am currently working with another dev, elginsk8r, on the 3.0 kernel and hopefully we can get it booting and unleash some jellybean/sense 4 goodness

 

[scotty85]

awsome! when you get to that point i can help test

count me in , i have 3 HTC Merge's

I overlooked a simpler method of identifying panel types. Just boot into bootloader, then go down into "SYSTEM INFO", and post the 2nd line (Should be in pink)

For example, mine is: LCD-SH-Cut2
