Root [Kernel][OC] rb3 Kernel for Warp LTE

Has anyone fixed the wifi in the cdz kernel yet?

I haven't. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is. It *should* work, for all intents and purposes, but it doesn't. I'm hoping to get individual sources from ZTE, but they're being a bit resilient at the moment. I figure two months is a decent time to wait before demanding kernel source code. The Awe's source code was released the month before the device!

If somebody could PM me a copy of their dmesg output from the 4g while on the stock kernel, that would be helpful. Best time would be after the phone boots up to the home/lockscreen, and attempt to connect to wifi. I need to see what's failing with the wifi.
Here's the code:
Code: 
adb shell
su
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt
FYI: Make sure you don't post it here, dmesg outputs sensitive info. (Which I promise not to use/release :))

I pm'ed you, I guess I did it right. Let me know.
I seen where it kicked it back. Sorry
 
do me a favor people. on the awe go to terminal and insmod the wlan module. then immediately check the dmesg see if it gives you crap. then try the same on the warp or the source doesnt really matter which as its using the oc kernel

How do you find out what the wlan module is named?
Edit: I think I found it: /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
However, dmesg didn't give me crap. Or anything at all, actually.

How I did it (and I'll update here if it turns out I did it wrong :) )

-Make sure you can use 'adb shell' with your phone plugged in.
After you plug your phone in and type adb shell, execute these commands:
You could also type these on the phone via terminal emulator, if you wanted to.
Code: 
su
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg1.txt
insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg2.txt

Zip those two files up, and if you could pm them to me, that would be great!

It would be great if you could do it with both the oc kernel and the normal kernel.

This should help identify the issue with wifi.
 
/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko almost alwaya works even if the file isnt there. like in our case its a symlink to the actual .ko file in the prima folder
 
there are two built i to the source, the one i gave you was pulled from the device itself and is the exact stuff the devices stock kernel uses. so technically you should have 3 warp lte configs
 
basically what im gonna guess is the problem, is that the mach_warplte flag is compiling the wifi with different options than both the awe kernel because its using a different section of code than the mach awe, and the stock kernel because its not the right kernel source, they obviously changed it since then so unless we get the real warplte kernel source or hack the wifi files in the kernel itll probably never work
 
Was the warp 3g kernel from zte. If they released the source for that phone im sure they would give us code if alot of people request it. Im going to email zte and i thing it would be a good idea for us all to.
 
yes we do all need to bother them, and dont just let them trick you either. they like to tell you theyre forwarding it or oie and say its confidential or give whatever excuse shuts you up. if they say theyll get back to you and its been a week email them again
 
it can be built inline but lets wait till we redo it using thebright kernel source and maybe hold off on trying to overclock till it ya kno... boots
 
not bright kernel i often hit b instead of space

zte released the right source, only change will be wifi working
 
Thank you ZTE for giving us a perfect kernel source. It's on my github and I compiled with linaro 4.6.2 using the config.gz from the phone. Not one error, or even a warning. I packed it with the stock ramdisk, and we have performance identical to stock. The source is on my github. Use the w4g_defconfig, and go from there.

Here is a zip if anyone wants to check it out. W4G Test Kernel. You wont gain anything other than piece of mind that development is heading in the right direction with this device.
