Root [recovery] ClockWorkMod 6.0.3.7

codeaurora.org has the entire msm platform source including a kernel source and device specific architecture. I am going to try and clone this git and pull it into my codebase.
 
that works, yea same basic error... not sure wtf is going on with the display but i will see what i can figure out
 
it looks like the chip is a Adreno 305, but they are using kernel drivers for an Adreno 200. I wonder if that has to do with all the issues being reported on the new driver. Looks like the source is currently broken on it. Also, the LCD is not capable of the specs of the 305. It's a 3D graphics chip. Maybe they used the 200 drivers to under run the chip to work easier with the hardware. Ideally, we build a 3.1 Kernel for a 3.1 OS and get that driver updated and working on the kernel. That could add capability to our device. Also I am working toward a kit kat openmaster. Once I have a kernel booting, you may need to work backward to get your CM kernel working. We can add a branch for that so you can commit to github. I'm downloading source now. It's going to take all day. They I will work on device specific files (device/zte/N9510 and /vendor/zte) and getting this thing to compile a kernel.
 
no internet on anything but my phone and im throttled at 30kb/s sp github and all that is not gonna happen anytime soon sadly. i gotta work with what i have

if ya get a working kernel built though i can work with that, ot would be preferable actually kuz zte kernels suck
 
from what i can tell, the only thing that is broken is the recovery binary... ive searched it but come up with nothing so far, huawei phones with this chipset exhibited similar issues
 
yeah my main concern with the huawei kernel is that its a 3G device and would have to be overhauled majorly and painfully to add the LTE bullshit in there. It may be an option to build a recovery though.
 
I worked extensively on the mazerati and I will say with certainty that dhacker and hashcode worked like dogs for 3 months to get LTE up on Verizon. Anyone notice that this phone like never switches to 4G. It seems broken and I believe it's a Boost Mobile thing with their roming policy. It seems to cripple the 4G LTE... Anyone else notice this?
 
I'm on 4G almost all of the time except when I'm in the admin building at work, and no one gets reception in there. I'm in Houston, Texas.
 
I think I got it figured out. you have to have the connection optimizer on for the phone to switch from EVDO to LTE. I figured this out yesterday. I dont like the auto switching to wifi so I had it off. Thats why I had no 4G. Oh well, maybe this will be helpful to someone if they are having issues.
 
on a less than happy note, if we built a custom rom for this device, it will require us to build a monitoring service or port over the connection optimizer from Boost to get all the networks working, unless we just bypass it all together and let the android OS do the work like it should be. Just noting this for informational purposes.
 
connection optimizer shouldnt have anythong to do with it... it never has before. i dunno tho, we shall see. kuz there is no way in hell im putting the connection un-optimizer in any rom i work on. that thing does nothing but kill your connection randomly
 
Yeah I also had to do another profile and PRL update. This thing has given me hell on the 4G. I have decided to start this kernel project with the MAKO kernel. I have a source. My tree is up to date. I am gonna get started on it tonight.
 
the mako? is that even a krait chip? i would think starting with an 8630 would be better but not sure what devices have that
 
i dunno why i always mix the 8630 and 8930 up. start with an 8930, my bad

and dont worry i havent given up, im still researching and comparing, just waiting on the test unit from mobclan to get here kuz that will make it alot easier to work on

one thing i will need tho is a full stock rom, doesnt have.to be flashable or anything, that wont help. ill have to manually force it back on there to get the phone working, wont be able to test without it because if i make a build that kills adb id never be able to flash anything on it again. anyway so yea if someone could upload a full stock system pull i would greatly appreciate it
 
Yeah its a quad core Krait. It will need work. I have been out of the loop for a week. Sorry about that... anyway I will get a sys pull for you tonight.
 
8930 the warp 4g has is dual core krait 400 actually, and the 8630 is the single core version. same basic thing, scaled down power consumption, cheaper components, at the cost of a little clock speed of course. just different core count
 
as far as my work goes though i dunno what happened. sent a monry order to cover shipping, never got there from what mobclan told me, so i still dont have the device and im not sure if ill ever get it. might be stuck without a cwm for quite some time unless i can get my hands on one

Click to expand...


I am thinking. If I send mine to you without you paying me anything, and see what you can do with it and send it back if you fix it and make a cwm? Maybe I could pay you for doing so? I am still thinking on this though. If you sent out a money order and it did not get received? Did you save the money order receipt and have it looked at to make sure?
 
working on checking it. its a postal one not a moneygram... but yea as far as a short term repair and loan for testing thats not really the best option. not sure how long cwm will take, cant guarantee it can be fixed, and once cwm is done if it even gets finished, could have issues that are impossible to figure out, then id need a test unit for cm which i have been working on the sequents version for a year now... still not finished
 
if you wanna take the chance ill do what i can as quickly as i can, i do have another device im supposed to be working on come next week but i will set aside time, i wanna at least get cwm working though and i have no idea how long that will take. may not even be able to fix the phone in the first place so keep that in mind, gotta pray zte didnt change ftm mode again and i can still get in
 
Hey what kernel source are you currently using to build the CWM recoveries we tested? I am having hell with the one i have been fooling with. Secondly just for you and the community to know. The test 2, 3, and 4 recoveries you built do work minus graphics. Using the adb shell, I was able to make backups of all my data and partitions. So we do have a working recovery at the lower level. This is impotant cause if someone has it installed and they brick, you can fix it through a terminal window. I intend to try the kernel when I am done and I can flash a bootloader through recovery in a terminal window so for the guys that are comfortable working in the low level realm, we have a working recovery. Just wanted to put that out there. Happy Thanksgiving to all! :)
 
Also, I am going to try and backup my system partition and get it uploaded and drop a link here so we have a stock rooted image if anyone ends up needing one who has the recovery you made installed. I might start a thread for that with instructions on how to use that image to restore their system if the need arises. Gobble Gobble. Happy Thanksgiving!
 
Is recovery working yet?? I'm considering buying this phone, but wasn't sure if anyone got recovery to work yet. (Root and recovery will make the decision that much easier)

Many Thanks!!
