Dear xda-developers members,
I need some help in the right direction:
I have installed Dhollmen's kernel (from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176563) on my GT-P5110
which is rooted and running CM10.1 at the moment and I used cwm to flash the kernel (from the link above).
Now I am trying to compile the kernel from their source code (see link) and flash the compiled kernel.
This has not been a success yet. I either get stuck at bootscreen or in a boot loop.
What I have tried:
Code:
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=~/android/toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
make dhollmen_P51XX_defconfig
make
This resulted in zImage file and I tried to flash with heimdall:
Code:
heimdall flash --KERNEL arch/arm/boot/zImage
This got me stuck on the bootscreen
Try 2:
With the compiled zImage and the working Dhollmen kernel zip (DhollmenCM-P51xx-Kernel_20130706.zip from the link)
I unpacked the working Dhollmen kernel, split boot.img, replace zImage with mine, repack to boot.img, repack to zip and flash zip from cmw
This got me stuck in a boot loop
The frustrating thing is that I have no errors so I am clueless of what is going wrong.
Can someone explain how he is going from his source code (https://github.com/Dhollmen/DhollmenCM_kernel) to a flashable zip file?

You will have more support in the tab 2 forum...this is the tab 10.1 P7500 forum.

Hi there guys,
I am having an issue and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction, maybe to a tutorial or some decent info on this.
Anyways, I have been tinkering around and teaching myself about building kernels, and roms and just a short while ago finished compiling my first kernel. I have the zImage, and i have tried adding the zImage to Koush's AnyKernel updater.zip but when i try and flash it says failed but is not displaying any errors (Using TWRP recovery) Or I am doing this wrong and need to unpack and repack boot.img with the new zImage?
Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!:good:
(edit) I am building on Fedora 17
You answered your own question.
Unpack the boty.img and repack with new zImage
So I was in the right ball park at least.

Will fastboot boot boot.img work on the galaxy note for testing a kernel? In case I have a borked kernel I want to take precautions so I don't brick my device.

No to fastboot.
With a broken kernel you should still be able to button combo into recovery and just flash a working kernel .zip
Or..at the very least be able to boot download mode and use Odin to flash the kernel.
I have gotten the boot.IMG all packed back up and when I flash it, my phone just hangs up at the white Samsung logo screen and does not go any further. Does something in the ramdisk have to be edited?

Hello,
since I don't yet have access for the specific section I post here
I can't find how to flash a kernel built from source (aka zImage). Since fastboot is not available on GS3, I just want an alternative tech to boot my gs3 with my build zImage.
I build the source from stock kernel samsung opensource database (update 8) and receive a zImage file.
I made a backup with cwm and unpack the boot.img with a perl script, then repack a new boot.img with my zImage as kernel and the ramdick from unpack but cannot boot with new package.
Could someone maybe give me a kernel source and the right corresponding package to boot it. Or maybe just a good way to make the whole process.
My final goal is to build a custom module for the GS3, that's my I need building from source and not an already-packed-kernel. Moreover if someone can help me directly about the module, he's very welcome
Hi everyone,
I need some help while I try to compile my first kernel (for experiments) with the Linaro-Toolchain. I followed a youtube instruction and it works well till the point to handle a stock/original boot.img file (with $ abootimg -x boot.img)
INFO: I´m playing with the slimkernel source, Linaro toolchain and mint 17.
Well before bothering you, i tried 1000 different ways to get this boot.img. But:
- extracted stock fimware only contains a boot.bin (and size does not match)
- a boot.img form a custom kernel zip brings me "no Android Magic value. giving up"
- downloadable boot.img are for all other phones excluding i9100...
Do you have any idea how to get this f****g boot.img which is working to get the kernel compiled, or do you know what i did wrong with that??
Thanks in advance

Have you tried to extract a boot.img from a slimrom zip?
Yes I did but gave me the same result. I tried different kernels, roms and everytime while typing abootimg x -boot.img the fail appears.

I don't know really what you are doing atm because you are compiling a kernel from the kernel sourcecode. But I think that you are going to replace the zImage in the boot.img because kernel compiling doesn't include ramdisk right? Did you ever tryed to use dsixda-kitchen, It's usefull and also easy to use with kernel extracting.
Sorry if I got you wrong.
I used that kitchen already, but gave me the same missing android magic issue.
I tried an other thing, cuz im currently using apolo 7.1 kernel:
this kernel has a zimage only. So is it a possible way to get the kernel source, make a change (add an scheduler which is not in kernel) to see if it will work, compile the zimage with linaro and just replace it in the kernel.zip??
Hello,
I tried to flash my Samsung galaxy S5 mini (SM-G800F):
1- I download the Firmware from "sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5-mini/SM-G800F/SWC/ "
2- I decompressed the boot.img with Android-Image-Kitchen
3- I replaced the boot.img-zImage by zImage that I compiled befor from the source code of samsung (SM-G800F_EUR_LL_Opensource)
4- I repacked the boot.img with the new kernel with Android-Image-Kitchen
5- Finally I flashed the phone with heimdall:
Code:
$ heimdall flash --BOOT image-new.img
But after that the phone won't boot.
Did someone know why or how can I get the phone working again?
I do all this steps because I need the file System.map that is generated in the compilation!
Thank you.
Hello everyone.
I'm trying to compile from source the kernel of my phone which is an unlocked motorola g6 play codename aljeter with the stock rom (android pie). I found the kernel repository in this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-r-v5-unofficial-aljeter-bananadroid-for-moto-g6-play.4362405/. I downloaded the toolchain in my case arm-linux-androideabi-4.9 because my phone architecture is arm.
Then i extracted the defconfig from the stock kernel obtained from the extraction of stock boot.img using AIK. After that i successfully compiled the kernel and i obtained the Image, zImage, and zImage-dtb. I unpacked the boot.img using AIK and i changed the boot.img-kernel with my zImage-dtb (and of course i renamed my zImage-dtb with boot.img-kernel). Then i repacked everything and i obtained a image-new.img. I rebooted my phone in fastboot mode and i run "fastboot boot image-new.img" to boot the new boot.img. After that the phone showed the boot logo but it immediately reboot to the stock boot.img (stock kernel). I think that the problem is related to avb but i am not sure.
Does anyone know how can i fix that?
Thanks
P.S
I also tried to compile the kernel for my tablet which is a Lenovo X606F but i obtained the same error
