Root [ROM] DroidSmith_Force - Beta

[rbheromax]

I tore down the recovery.img
It is by far the ugliest thing I have ever seen. The default.prop is just the build.prop renamed (anyone who knows, knows you just don't do that), there are a lot of temp files still lingering around in the .img, and usb is broken worse than Kevin Ware's leg
I fixed most of these problems and I'm going to setup a thread with links to the DL.

We need a clean dump of the system. Any one care to provide one. I can give instuctuon if needed

 

[rbheromax]

Well that'll come one day, what we have now is about as close as we can get

 

[jimsmith80]

If someone can run tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar and then dropboxme a link it should help us move forward

 

[rbheromax]

the cwm backup image posted in the forums is just that, that what cwm does to get their images, so its exactly the same
unless you built your rom from another source

I just want to compare the two. Until it boots you never know

 

[donjuro]

I told you guys our cwm was messed up

 

[rbheromax]

Not only that, u might also have a locked boot loader /:

Here you go: System.tar

 

[jimsmith80]

Awesome. You guys are great. I'm going to take a look at this as soon as I can.

 

[rbheromax]

Let's get this working

 

[jimsmith80]

I hope to get this booting soon. That's when the real fun begins. The stock image is so bloated with crap it is seriously going to take days to clean this thing up

 

[rbheromax]

Did u Take out the verify.zip in /etc/ yet? Cause you should...

 

[jimsmith80]

It will be gone in A6

 

[jimsmith80]

If someone wouldn't mind running this and uploading the boot.img to dropbox

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 of=/sdcard/boot.img

 

[Golono]

Here it is: boot.img

 

[jimsmith80]

Thanks again. I'm going play around with this for a bit and should have something new for.testing tonight

 

[jimsmith80]

Here is something new to test. It's just a zip of the boot.img with a few minor mods, so we can tell if it worked or not. Boot Test

 

[rbheromax]

Did you do:
"mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk initramfs.cpio.gz --base x80200000 --cmdline 'androidboot.hardware=qcom user_debug=31 loglevel=7 kgsl.mmutype=gpummu' -o new_boot.img" or something like that?

Yep 5.4 MB

 

[rbheromax]

Okay, I'm recompile my OC from src and see what I can come up with...

 

[jimsmith80]

If my boot test works, then we our on our way to a functional rom.

 

[rbheromax]

I saw this in your script:

ui_print("Flashing Kernel");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print("");
ui_print("");

shouldn't it be:

ui_print("Flashing Kernel");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img");
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print("");
ui_print("");

 

[jimsmith80]

I saw this in your script:

ui_print("Flashing Kernel"
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15"
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print(""
ui_print(""

shouldn't it be:

ui_print("Flashing Kernel"
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/tmp/boot.img"
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15"
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print(""
ui_print(""

I'll give it a shot if the boot test fails. The updater scrip I am using in modified from my warp rom

 

[rbheromax]

Well alright, and yeah I saw what u did with the warp. That was some good work. Hopefully we can have the same reaction from the community as u had there.
