[Q] Can't compile Heimdall - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] Can't compile Heimdall - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I'm trying to follow Cyanogen's wiki to install CWM.
The steps are: 1) download zImage, 2) download heimdall, 3) flash zImage. I'm stuck at number 2.
I tried with the suggested heimdall_v1.4rc1_mac.zip (sorry I can't post outside links), but the kext inside does not load correctly.
So now I'm trying to compile it myself. I git cloned the repo, installed dependencies, successfully made libpit. Going on with Heimdall.
Code:
cd heimdall
./configure
make
[...]
cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-std=c++0x"
I don't know exactly what this means, but I edited Makefile and substituted every g++ (i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-g++-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)) occurrency with clang -v.
Now I'm stuck on:
Code:
[...]
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"std::string::find_first_of(char const*, unsigned long, unsigned long) const", referenced from:
[...]
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/include/c++/4.0.0/backward"
Running on MacBookPro7,1, Lion 10.7.5, Xcode 4.5.1
EDIT: I also tried installing heimdall 1.3.1 dmg, but installation failed (kernel module couldn't be installed).

what compiler are you using? If GCC what version of GCC are you using? c++0x / c++11 support has only been added starting with gcc v4.3

GCC appears only in CCDEPMODE and CXXDEPMODE. For the rest I'm using clang.

No need to compile heimdall.
Download heimdall from here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
The normal heimdall uses a terminal I believe. The frontend one has a gui like Odin and should be easy to use.
Edit: Don't download the latest (1.3.2). Download the previous version, since it is stated that the latest one broke compatibility. Ive never used heimdall though, so I cant guide you further.

I know there are prebuilt heimdall but the kernel module inside does not work.
That's why I'm compiling it. Is there anybody that can help me on that?

Just use another PC. You're going through a lot of hassle. Or simply download Mobile Odin (pro) app to flash. That's easiest and safe to use.

Hi,
you have probably solved it already, but when I got such error messages the solution was to set certain environment variables before calling ./configure
export CC=clang
export CXX=clang++
export CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/ -I/sw/include/"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib -L/sw/lib/"
I used fink to download and compile libusb1 (with version 1.0.8) prior to compile heimdall. In case you use macports, use the correct include and lib dirs instead of /sw/include and /sw/lib. In my case I didn't have to change anything in the original Makefile.
The only frustration with this heimdall was that the --primary-boot option did not work properly, so I had to skip --repartition and rewriting the primary boot partition with boot.bin.

you need a newer GCC to get it use Macports. if you do not have it install it. after that the command for the newer version is
Code:
sudo port install gcc47
if you want gcc 4.7
after you have the new version you need to set it to default and hope that heimdall compiler choose it! to do so you have to do so:
Code:
port select --list gcc
Available versions for gcc:
gcc42
llvm-gcc42
mp-gcc47
none (active)
if you have more than one gcc then you have more then one version of gcc from xcode. the mp-gccxx is the macports version. now we will set itto default:
Code:
sudo port select --set gcc mp-gcc47
Password:
Selecting 'mp-gcc47' for 'gcc' succeeded. 'mp-gcc47' is now active.
now you should had setted as default the gcc47 and compiling heimdall should work!
edit: i tried. i get all the way to
Code:
sudo make install
but then get:
Code:
cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-std=c++0x"
probably benjamin setted the source to always use xcodes version of gcc that do not suport it.

[Q] Need help compiling / building own kernel (zImage)

Hello dev community
I am currently trying to build my own kernel / zImage, but for some reason it doesn't work, when I flash my zImage the SGS2 crashs at the bootscreen with the yellow triangle.
Not even the battery animation when charging while off works anymore *lol*
Here is what I did so far:
extracted a stock initramfs from a samsung stock kernel
got the Samsung kernel sources and extracted on my PC
got the codesourcery toolchain and installed it
edited the path to the toolchain into kernel/Makefile
ran
make c1_rev02_defconfig (as stated in the readme.txt of the src download)
set the path to the extracted iniramfs files in the config
ran
make zImage
It eventually tells me "kernel zImage ready at ...."
padded with 0x00s to the 8MiB size, .tar'ed and flashed via Odin
But it doesn't boot.
When I throw my zImage at the initramfs extractor script, I get the proper initramfs files dumped, so they seem to be fine.
Searched around this forums for two days now, found a few "zImage repacker scripts" but none work or clear up any of my questions.
Any hints on what I missed or did wrong are appreciated
And while we're at it, another question:
At new FW builds, does the actual kernel itself change too, or is it only changes in the initramfs? Because there is only one set of sources from Samsung.... so I assume the actual kernel stays the same and using the initramfs of the targetted FW will suufice?

Why did you pad it up to 8mb?
also, when setting the initramfs source, did you set these to you uid you are compiling with?
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID=1000
CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID=1000

Hm, padded to 8MB as all kernels are (padded to) 8MB, aren't they?
Tried flashing an unpadded version too, still no go.
And yes, UID and GID are set to the ones my user is running as....
Close to the end of the compiler run, I get a "found 14 module section missmatches" kind of message - could that have something to do with my zImage not working? And how would I fix that?
Oh c'mon, it can't be that hard, so many people are making their own zImages.... what am I missing here.... :-/

First of all, you cant just use a stock initramfs image, shove it into another kernel and expect it to work. There are kernel modules in there which need to be updated first before you do the last "make zImage".
Try this:
0. make sure your config is correct. you should copy c1_rev02_defconfig from inside arm/ to source_root/.config and do a "make oldconfig". Then adjust your configs as necessary ("make menuconfig" etc)
1. "make modules"
2. "INSTALL_MOD_PATH=~ make modules_install"
3. goto your home dir and pick out the modules and put them into the path of your initramfs files (/lib)
4. finally, make zImage.
5. theres no need to pad to 8mb. that is an urban legend

OK, did all that.... still no go.... :-/

Try this script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Set Default Path
TOP_DIR=$PWD
KERNEL_PATH=/home/neophyte-x360/kernel/GALAXYS2/2.6.35.7
# TODO: Set toolchain and root filesystem path
TAR_NAME=zImage.tar
TOOLCHAIN="/home/neophyte-x360/android/system/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-"
# TOOLCHAIN="/home/neophyte-x360/toolchain/bin/arm-none-eabi-"
ROOTFS_PATH="/home/neophyte-x360/kernel/GALAXYS2/initramfs-SGS2"
echo "Cleaning latest build"
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$TOOLCHAIN -j`grep 'processor' /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l` clean
cp -f $KERNEL_PATH/arch/arm/configs/c1_rev02_defconfig $KERNEL_PATH/.config
make -j4 -C $KERNEL_PATH oldconfig || exit -1
make -j4 -C $KERNEL_PATH ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$TOOLCHAIN || exit -1
cp drivers/bluetooth/bthid/bthid.ko $ROOTFS_PATH/lib/modules/
cp drivers/net/wireless/bcm4330/dhd.ko $ROOTFS_PATH/lib/modules/
cp drivers/samsung/j4fs/j4fs.ko $ROOTFS_PATH/lib/modules/
cp drivers/samsung/fm_si4709/Si4709_driver.ko $ROOTFS_PATH/lib/modules/
cp drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko $ROOTFS_PATH/lib/modules/
cp drivers/samsung/vibetonz/vibrator.ko $ROOTFS_PATH/lib/modules/
make -j4 -C $KERNEL_PATH ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$TOOLCHAIN || exit -1
# Copy Kernel Image
cp -f $KERNEL_PATH/arch/arm/boot/zImage .
cd arch/arm/boot
tar cf $KERNEL_PATH/arch/arm/boot/$TAR_NAME zImage && ls -lh $TAR_NAME
And try with other initramfs, maybe could be this.
PD: I forgot that with my script you have to select your initramfs inside .config

Very interesting thread!
Im about to study computer science and software engineering for 3 years in august.
Hoping/wishing/expecting to get into this eventually!

put this in your build script:-
export LOCALVERSION="-I9100XWKE7-CL215725"
this is just an example set its value to the same as the initramfs you used, e.g. the magicver in the modules.

sounds like your initramfs are incomplete...or more likely your toolchain is not quite right. even without recovery, your zimage should be 6-7mb...(no padding, and there is no need to)

OK, done a clean rebuild, taking care of everything you guys said:
made new initramfs dump from a stock zImage
make mrproper
make c1_rev02_defconfig
make menuconfig - set the paths/prefixes for toolchain, localversion and initramfs (also set my users UID and GID for mapping to UID/GUI 0) there, left everything else untouched and at defaults
make
copied the freshly built modules into my initramfs dir (checked with a hexeditor for the proper versionmagic, looks OK)
make zImage
resulting zImake size: ~5.7MB and no go, still doesn't boot.
I'll try now with another toolchain (using the last one available for d/l so far, just got the 2009-something one mentioned in the sources readme and going to try to use that one now) as well as different initramfs dumper....
I have not much hope this will change the outcome, but it's at least worth a try....
// EDIT (a few hours later xD)

I *finally* managed to get a completely self built kernel to boot \o/
So, what was it that played showstopper the whole time: THE TOOLCHAIN!
I had the latest (2011-something) version of the CodeSourcery toolchain installed - that does not seem to be a good idea.
Did exactely what I did before, but now with the 2009q3 version installed (like the readme of the source states) - and tadaa, it works!
// EDIT 2
Figured out the #9 as well, it's the build number / version; how many times I ran "make" since the last "make mrproper"
LET THE MODDING BEGIN (now the fun starts)

Glad to see someone's happy. I'm also trying to compile a kernel from source. However, mine's an I9100G. Managed to compile, flash and boot up my phone, but battery status and Wifi don't work. After looking through the dmesg log, apparently the battery driver is not being initialised. I wonder if anyone can help me? Maybe someone with knowledge of the OMAP platform?

Before I tried to compile CM I did successfully compile AOSP for my Gnex. I have searched and tried everything I could find. I've tried these values in the common.py file and just about every combo I could think of per recommendations I found online.
Code:
check = (sys.maxsize > 2**32)
if check is True:
cmd = ["java", "Xmx2048m", "-jar",
os.path.join(OPTIONS.search_path, "framework", "signapk.jar")]
else:
cmd = ["java", "-Xmx1024m", "-jar",
os.path.join(OPTIONS.search_path, "framework", "signapk.jar")]
I have also checked my swap and as far as I can tell its there and working but it seams to never be used. I have tried all the commands I could find online to make sure it was enabled but Idk what else to try or check.
Also I am using a quad core AMD with 6GB of RAM if anyone is curious. Any and all advice/ideas would be very much appreciated at this point I am at a complete loss. Thanks for looking and helping guys.
EDIT:I just finished a successful build of AOSP for my galaxy nexus so I am really confused as to why I run out of memory for CM9.

That's what you were looking for correct?

If I were you I would run a mem check on your memory. There shouldn't be any reason that your getting those errors.
I have 8 gigs and I never have an issue.

How would I go about doing that? Sorry for the noobish questions I just have never had to do this before on any of my PC's. Its just so weird because I'm compiling AOSP as we speak. Just wish it was CM lol.

Well my computer passed the memory rest with zero errors. So I'm installing 12.04 on a fresh format so hopefully I have better luck later tonight or tomorrow getting it to build.

I'll definitely keep you posted. I'm syncing tonight, then hopefully I'll set it up to build when I leave for work in the morning and I'll have good news when I get off in the afternoon.

Well all I can say is ***k yeah. I guess reinstalling ubuntu and upgrading to 12.04 in the process cured my computer . I still have no idea as to why I couldnt build before but at least it works now.

change directories in your repo path corresponding to the change. In this example frameworks_base from your repo path.
Code:
cd frameworks/base
paste in that command you just copied. press enter and you have just cherry picked to test a new cm commit.

That sounds very easy. Thanks again for a noob tutorial . Also what would you do to remove the cherry pick if you didnt like the commit? Is that path just added to the local manifest just like device trees and kernels sources?

While inside the same path you applied the cp.
git reset --hard HEAD
That will reset to the last cm commit. You can do specific files as well by appending the file path after the command.

Build Android on Arch Linux rather than on Ubuntu or other Linux!?

Shouldn't we build Android on Arch Linux rather than on other Linux Distros?
Since Arch Linux is a Rolling Release and you'll have all updated packages, so this makes sense to me....
But why did Android recommend Ubuntu? Did Canonical pay them to advertise Ubuntu? LOL

What do I need the latest "updated" packages? Arch is bleeding edge, what if a "update" breaks a tool we are using to build? When working in a professional environment you want stability not bleeding edge.

Yeah but usually the stable packages give me the errors... Not the updated ones... Ironic LOL

I'm using Ubuntu and I compile just fine.

I tried to compile a kernel, my os was Debian. The make always gave me errors of outdated packages, so i tried to build the package that was said to be outdated. One package led to another, with a make error saying foo package is outdated -_-
Eventually I got sick of it and I deleted Debian (VirtualBox) and found Arch Linux
I got Arch Linux to install and boot, but didn't try building android yet... It was a pain to install Arch..

Arch Linux:
You need to downgrade some packages.
Install Java and Necessary packages.

[ROM][CM11][dev only] cm-11-UNOFFICIAL-d620 Alpha

CyanogenMod 11 for the LG G2 mini D620r
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
All Credits so far go to Quarx and his project CM11 for LG L90
What i have done so far:
Setup Ubuntu on my Laptop
Installed CM dev environment like described here!
Made a new device folder following THIS guide and build some recoveries.
Took the sources from CM11 for LG L90 and integrated them to my build environment.
CM11 for LG L90 builds fine but i can not test it.
Took the files i thought we need from L90 and put them to my d620 tree.
Trial and error till it compiled for d620.
For the kernel i use original LG sources extracted to kernel/lge/msm8226.
Switched to kernel source from Quarx and tweaked it for d620.
Find sources i use here.
Unfortunately the kernel i have build leads to boot loops. (Yes i have wiped everything)
If i only install the system with the original LG stock kernel i get an security error.
How can i find out why the kernel boot loops?
(had to use the dt.img from stock kernel because mine didn't work, phone gets stuck in fastboot)
Kernel now boots with recovery.
Touch only works if i copy the FW to system folder.
CM11 now works quit well.
Known issues:
- NFC not working at all
- Vibration not working at all
- Back/Main camara has overexposure on bright scenes
- LTE can only be activated by adding quick setting for LTE
Testers welcome.

Port rom!!
Good job! I think You can port rom l90 for g2 mini. Read it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545618 (my English is bad, sorry!!)

I think we need a "extract-files.sh" to extract device proprietary files with connected and enabled usb debbuging. I do some research but didnt luck. My English is weak and i don't know how to do this script. I know its necesary for boot and compile with success.
Maybe Quarx can help us.
Probably kernel boot loops because you compile with CM source and that its not compatible with stock rom.
Regards.

this is great progress

Ok i found it.

w7ds is an LG L90 dual sim.
Go to your kernel folder /arch/arm/configs and look for a g2m... ...defconfig where the name fits your device.
Try to compile with the g2m defconfig should work.
You might be missing touch and other hardware if you didn't get all property blobs needed for our device.
This is the point where I got struck at the moment.

Zaaap can you share your device tree?
Ok. I fixed the errors. Now I have "zImage" how flash that?

What did you do to fix the errors? And wich toolchain did you use?
The zimage comes with some .ko files? You have to make a .zip file of those and flash it through custom recovery or a flash app from market! Like rashr

I fixed the errors that occurred when compiling. Compile the source cm and lg according to instructions in the readme.txt from lg. Thanks Zaaap changed command from w7ds_open_cis_defconfig on g2m_global_com_defconfig. After compiling I received two files zImage and Image.

Don't flash the zImage as it is only a part of the needed boot.img.
There is a command like 'make boot.img'. I'll have to look for it.

Make boot.img
Here you can find the official doc about making boot.img: HERE
I took the device tree from Quarx found here made a copy in a new folder 'd620' but i think 'g2m' would have been correct for phone.
Find my device folder here.
Find my vendor folder here.
The kernel source is located under kernel/lge/msm8226
I normaly compile a recovery and see if the kernel works with it.
Thus i don't risk a semi brick because if the kernel is bad, then recovery may not start but system will start and i can flash an other recovery with a new kernel.
If recovery boots, i can use adb to get dmesg.log and see what works and what not.
On my last try, touch didn't initialize complete.

Thanks Zaaap.
I broke something in the source of CM. I have to download again. Can someone check zImage which I compiled.

It boot, but takes long to do so and there is no touch.
This is the same problem i have.
We need to get the correct touch firmware + patch.
Find log attached.

Kernel boots with touch
Got touch working.
The firmware doesn't get copied to /system/lib/firmware.
When i copy the firmware in via AIK kernel boots fast and with touch.
Now i will investigate how to include the FW in compile process.

Very good news. I asked for help a member of XDA @ moonbutt74. I hope he will have the time and inclination to help us.

okay so root is good
look in /proc for
/proc/config.gz
it might be there it might not. i need the stock boot.img please. looking through source right now and unsure of which defconfig.
your modules also depend on libraries in system/vendor - you need that entire directory for your device tree. you may also need
manufacturer/device specific/proprietary libraries from system/lib
starting in /system/vendor type in terminal
strings [nameoflib].so | grep "\.so"
these will bring up a list of additional libraires needed. the ones you already have in vendor don't worry about. the ones you
will find in system/lib are the additional ones you need to get for your device tree. go to the thread i'm working in with restl3ss and read through the whole thing but please do not post any questions there. post here use the mention function @moonbutt74
or pm me or click reply button below any of my posts in this thread and i will know by email.

on defconfig readme suggests w7ds_open_cis_defconfig but will try g2m_global_com_defconfig

CHECK usr/include/linux/wimax/ (1 files)
CHECK usr/include/linux/ (411 files)
./usr/include/linux/if_pppox.h:26: included file 'linux/if_pppolac.h' is not exported
./usr/include/linux/if_pppox.h:27: included file 'linux/if_pppopns.h' is not exported
scripts/Makefile.headersinst:120: recipe for target 'usr/include/linux/.check' failed
make[4]: *** [usr/include/linux/.check] Error 123
scripts/Makefile.headersinst:127: recipe for target 'linux' failed
make[3]: *** [linux] Error 2
Makefile:1080: recipe for target 'headers_check' failed
make[2]: *** [headers_check] Error 2
any ideas?
I'm using the command "make -j 3 deb-pkg" to build.

No but i will go down to to same road so i can enable my wifi, maybe i find something!

Why are you using make -j 3 deb-pkg, should it not be ¨make arch=x86_64¨ ?
just copy the default config first to somewhere else, like cp arch/x86/android-x86_64_defconfig /work/config/,config
Then make -o /work/config/.config xconfig
make -j4 -o work/config/.config

Kernel compiled fine here, however I forgot https://github.com/jide-opensource/remixos-kernel/tree/jide_x86_lollipop/android/configs;)

I must be doing somethign wrong, I did that, using the config file arch/x86/configs/android-x86_64_defconfig
Code:
CC [M] drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/hal/odm_RTL8723B.o
LD [M] drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/r8723bs.o
LD [M] drivers/staging/xgifb/xgifb.o
LD drivers/staging/built-in.o
Makefile:947: recipe for target 'drivers' failed
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

Yes, it's because I want to build the wifi myself from this repo:

They write;
For older kernel than 4.3, you might also need this patch applied: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/k.../?id=d31911b9374a76560d2c8ea4aa6ce5781621e81d
Maybe this ?,
My module rtl8188EU was already in the /stage i just enabled it.

I thought I would start by trying to build the kernel exactly as published, and then start patching it. thanks for the suggestion.

p.s. I build the kernel as a debian package on my debian dev box, which is a VM on qemu/kvm, and then boot the kernel on that dev box to check it works.

I've managed to build a kernel. It doesn't boot on my VM, but I will now "dismantle" the RemixOS usb image, and try copying in the extra kernel modules from my build.
I also need to load in a terminal app and root the remixos image so's I can do useful things when its booted.

Let me know how you got the modules, i'm to be hon-nest i have no clue how to get those modules. How did you found out how they build-ed the USB kernel?
I wan't to have the exact same kernel options as there USB image... and then start to change some things

so when I got it to build, I did "make modules_install" and then looked in /lib/modules and found it.
meanwhile, I unzipped RemixOS usb stick image (EFI) and mounted the nested file systems like this
Code:
unzip release_Remix_OS_for_PC_64_B2016020201_Alpha_EFI.zip Remix_OS_for_PC_64_B2016020201_Alpha_EFI.img
mount -o loop,offset=1048576 Remix_OS_for_PC_64_B2016020201_Alpha_EFI.img /mnt/remix
cd /mnt/remix
mkdir /mnt/remix-sfs
mount -o loop system.sfs /mnt/remix-sfs
cd /mnt/remix-sfs
mkdir /mnt/remix-sfs-system
mount -o loop system.img /mnt/remix-sfs-system

Okay i managed the same, but also not booting. at least i can see that here is full gui support now, but again i only get a shell.

Do you know if there is any way to capture the current kernel config from the running android machine?, i tried to see if there was a config in /proc but no..
The thing is to nail this down you can do two things, either dmesg and see whats going wrong or capture a working config and build on top of that one.

Like you, I tried the same... there's nothing in /boot, and the kernel doesn't provide a /proc/config.gz
I tried the "contact us" on the jide website to ask about building the kernel and didn't get a response. I've not seen any jide people respond to discussions on google groups.
It does seem Jide want to act in good faith:
