[Q] Add device support to dsixda's kitchen - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
First off, mods, if this is in the wrong place sorry, secondly, thanks for the help in advance.
I have dsixda's kitchen set up via cygwin, but do not have the proper files in the edify_defs folder so that the kitchen knows the proper mount points. What I am talking about is in the following bit quoted from the original kitchen thread.
WARNING: If your device is not listed in post #1 of this thread, and it does NOT use a 'YAFFS'-based filesystem (e.g. usually only low-end devices use YAFFS), do not attempt to flash a ROM that you built with this kitchen. Instead, you must do the following if your device is NOT listed:
Create a file under the kitchen's /tools/edify_defs folder, with the name being the same as the value of ro.product.device (found in your device's /system/build.prop file).
If the stock ROM images for your device contain the recovery.img file, extract its files from the kitchen menu: Advanced --> Tools for boot image --> Extract from boot.img/recovery.img in any folder. Then, open up its ramdisk folder, and look for /system/etc/recovery.fstab or /etc/recovery.fstab or similar FSTAB file location. Open this file to find the mount points.
See the template file in the edify_defs folder to see how to set the mount points inside the file you created. Look at the other files in that folder for examples on how to do it.
NOTE: This method does not guarantee your device will work with your custom ROM, however. Some devices may require more steps than just the edify_defs file, but the procedure is outside the scope of this FAQ. Ask around in the XDA sub-forum for your device if you need further help.

The devices I would like to add are both the first gen Nexus 7 (nakasi/grouper) and second gen Nexus 7 (flo). When I follow the instructions from that quoted section I am unable to make sense of the listed mount points and how to create the proper files. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Yes, going to sell the first gen N7, so just would like to add support for the 2nd gen (flo/razor).

Create a file under the kitchen's /tools/edify_defs folder, with the name being the same as the value of ro.product.device (found in your device's /system/build.prop file).
If the stock ROM images for your device contain the recovery.img file, extract its files from the kitchen menu: Advanced --> Tools for boot image --> Extract from boot.img/recovery.img in any folder. Then, open up its ramdisk folder, and look for /system/etc/recovery.fstab or /etc/recovery.fstab or similar FSTAB file location. Open this file to find the mount points.
See the template file in the edify_defs folder to see how to set the mount points inside the file you created. Look at the other files in that folder for examples on how to do it.
So if u got the ro.product.device ID (can be found in build.prop its easy then follow the steps above.....)

[Q] [q] how to write a recovery.fstab for cwm?
I am trying to port cwm 6.0.1.4 for my HTC Desire S via the cwm builder. Its running so far, but not exactly working, because it doesnt mount all partitions correctly. So i assume, there must be something wrong with my recovery.fstab. I used an older recovery.fstab i found on the internet, but maybe it hasnt got the right "options" to mount all partitions correctly. So can anybody explain me, how to make a working one? Which partitions are needed and how they have to be mounted? thanks!

try this recovery what i did, i used the recovery.fstab from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484753 i would like to try the recovery from the 4ext and see what mount points and how the filesystem is managed. if you have one share`it with me. the attached files is the cwm that i cooked, using the stock recovery and adding the fstab from the 5.8 cwm you can flash it and see what results you have (if you get anny errors) but don`t use the recovery to flash something till you don`t get the mount results to see if the mounting points are like this, if the mounting points are like this you should be ok to try and flash a rom. # mount point fstype device /recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 /cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 fstype2=ext3 /data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 fstype2=ext3 /sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 fstype2=ext3 to find out the mounting points adb shell mount and you should have a long output like this (This are not from a htc desire s ! ) C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell uid=0 [email protected]:/ # mount mount rootfs on / type rootfs (ro,relatime) tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600) proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime) none on /acct type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpuacct) tmpfs on /mnt/asec type tmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000) tmpfs on /mnt/obb type tmpfs (rw,relatime,mode=755,gid=1000) none on /dev/cpuctl type cgroup (rw,relatime,cpu) /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 on /system type ext4 (ro,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,dat a=ordered) /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 on /data type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr,ba rrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc) /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 on /persist type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr ,barrier=1,data=ordered) /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 on /cache type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr,b arrier=1,data=ordered) /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 on /content type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_xattr ,barrier=1,data=ordered) /dev/block/vold/179:97 on /mnt/external_sd type vfat (rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,no exec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage= cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro) /dev/block/vold/179:20 on /mnt/sdcard type vfat (rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec, relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437 ,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro) /dev/block/vold/179:20 on /mnt/secure/asec type vfat (rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,no exec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage= cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro) tmpfs on /mnt/sdcard/.android_secure type tmpfs (ro,relatime,size=0k,mode=000) uid=0 [email protected]:/ #
Thanks for your effort, but i can't test the recovery properly because there is a key missing to run an option. I can browse through the menu with volume +/- though, but can't enable the selected option. I found an 4ext Recovery (version 1005.5.0), i attached it with the fstab i extracted from it
well, i could use the maping key from the cwm 5.8 there are some cwm`s that need enabling for example on a tablet i need to press 27 times the volume key -, or a combination of + - + (volume keys) to enable the selection. i can not test the recovery, i will rebuild later on a version based on the 5.8 key maping. on the screen did you got any errors ?
No, it didnt show any errors yet. Is it possible to make it touch too? I tried to cook up a cwm with the fstab of 4ext but it completly failed to load any partition. 4ext itself is working though
here is the touch one, check also if the key`s are working the recovery that you made, the keys where working ?
Havent tried the keys on my Build, but with yours they are working. In the cwm i got this errors: I:Skipping execution of extended command, file not found I:Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 I:Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd I:Can't format unknown volume: /emmc Now trying to make a Backup, that seems to work, but i am not completly sure, havent tried to restore it yet. Will do that tomorrow
this is the first cwm that i made for you, but with the key maping from the stock recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?kc8dk9gl2c9660o ---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ---------- you can check the recovery files on the sd card, if you see there the boot.img recovery, and system/data mds5 it should be ok to restore.
Is this different from the built you attached last? This works fine with the keys. btw. can you maybe give me some tips how you built it? Later i want to make a new cwm for my tablet, but i dont want to bother you with that too
yes it is different, it is like the first build but i used the key mapping from the htc desire s stock recovery, the one from the ruu well the tips are, keep trying till you get something working. for example on my tablet i am using a htc sensation xl recovery (not all the stuff only the recovery which is in the sbin directory if you unpack the recovery) unpack the stock recovery, and analyse the recovery.fstab by comparing it to the mount points, if they are ok is very good, you will have bigger chance to get something working. try and use the clockwork builder and see if you get any results, but select the stock recovery.fstab (you have the option when you cook the recovery, is the second option) if you don`t get any results like this try to find a similar device from a spec point of view and steal the /sbin/recovery from the device cwm recovery, put it on your recovery, repack and test. it depends on what tablet you have also If you need help in the future, send me a pm, because i check only once per week this section of the forum.
Ok, found boot.img but no system/data and system.ext3.dup is only about 100kb of size. Is that correct? in the logfile there are three errors: W:Unable to get recovery.fstab info for /datadata during fstab generation W:Unable to get recovery.fstab info for /emmc during fstab generation W:Unable to get recovery.fstab info for /sd-ext during fstab generation
no, is not corect, that means that the recovery made by the clockworok server has some flaws i will try to make a new one, based on 4ext recovery ---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ---------- K, i remade the fstab it looks like this now # mount point fstype device /recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 /cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 fstype2=ext3 /data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 fstype2=ext3 /sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1 /system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 fstype2=ext3 /sd-ext ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 fstype2=ext4 /system_lib ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p28 fstype2=ext4 You could try and find a similar device that has the version 6 recovery and try the recovery from that device (am talking about getting the recovery, unpack it, take the recovery file which is in boot.img-ramdisk\sbin\recovery In the end, it`s all about testing I did all my stuff alone, nobody helped me. http://www.mediafire.com/?69a74qq9idko02v this is the recovery based on the recovery.fstab from the 4ext recovery which looks more complete.
Thanks very, very much, i really appreciate your efforts. So now, i'll start trying and trying until i get a working one
Help me plz..

Hi Guys, I have a quick question I am new to this but im learning quickly.... I think! im making up my own recovery and so far my recovery.fstab looks like this: /recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 fstype2=ext3 /data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 fstype2=ext3 /system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 fstype2=ext3 /factory ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 fstype2=ext3 /crypo emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 but when trying to do a backup it throws up an error saying it cant write to SDCARD, which makes sense as its not mounted So, the question is, how do I go about mounting it for recovery? Now, the sdcard is internal, there is no external card, I believe its symlinked to /storage/sdcard within android which is all located in the partition /data/ (mmcblk0p12) sooo, can anyone help, ive been trawling the interweb and I can find lots of ways to do this within the main OS, but how do I go about it for recovery.fstab to be used in a custom clockwork recovery img

Well, I'm also in the progress of trying to figure this out, but try this: get an ADB shell, or use a terminal app from the Play Store, and execute: Code: cat /proc/mtd That should give a list of partitions and their dev codes. Tip: when posting files or code, try to make use of the code tags, text inside them will be displayed with a monospaced font, so things will be more readable. See more info here.
Thanks for the tip and I figured it out by using cat /proc/partitions and cat /proc/mtd Click to expand... Click to collapse those commands gave me the names of the partitions and what block number they are.

[Q] Is contents of Custom Recovery APK useful in obtaining custom recovery for vs985?
So I did some exploring in the posted custom recovery by AnZhi. There was some discussion over which partitions could be accessed. There is an fstab file in there that can be modified which should allow access to other partitions... Recovery.fstab Code: # Android fstab file. # The filesystem that contains the filesystem checker binary (typically /system) cannot # specify MF_CHECK, and must come before any filesystems that do specify MF_CHECK #<src> <mnt_point> <type> <mnt_flags> <fs_mgr_flags> /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system ext4 defaults defaults /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache /cache ext4 defaults defaults /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata /data ext4 defaults defaults /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot /boot emmc defaults defaults /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery /recovery emmc defaults defaults Looking further it seems this works by overwriting the files in /system/recovery. The process can't be that simple... can it? Also there is a keys file with a bunch of cryptic hex codes....not quite sure what they're used for.... useful? I'm a very experienced programmer, but new when it comes to android bootloader/recovery exploit development. Any ideas guys? What can we learn by perusing this apk? PS Newbies.... To see the contents of an apk file just rename *.apk to *.zip and unzip it
I'm also new to bootloaders, we can probably pull a fstab from a rooted g3 and edit the existing one from there I'm Also curious to see what's in the apk, I'll extract it to see if I can gather some more info Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
[Q] Need help with mount points
Hey guys, I was recently given a Galaxy Tab 3 Lite (SM-T110) and have found very little roms considering its an old tablet and none are with my latest stock firmware. That said, I'm trying to implement this tablet into dsixda's kitchen but am having a little bit of trouble. I have set up the kitchen successfully on Windows 10 using cygwin and have even complied a rom successfully but the problem is when I flash it it gives me errors about boot.img mounting points. I pretty much have 3 questions: 1. Cant find my boot mnt point and was wondering if someone can help me find it? (ill attach my recovery.fstab file in the bottom for you to see) 2. Dont really know if I need that "fix_boot2=yes" line? "fix_boot=yes" line? Or none? How can I tell if i need it? 3. Since boot mount point is not inside recovery.fstab file, does that mean it is not need to be mentioned? I made a file called "goyawifi" inside the edify_defs folder with the following info inside it: # Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite SM-T110 change_mnt=yes param1=ext4 param2=EMMC param1_sdcard=vfat param2_sdcard=MTD sys_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p15 cache_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p14 boot_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p15 data_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p16 sdcard_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk1p1 fix_boot2=yes And this is my recovery.fstab info: #mount point fstype device [device2] /mrd emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mrd1 emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /mep2 emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /dtim emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /kernel emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 /radio emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /custom ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /preload ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 /cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /data ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 length=-16384 /sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1 /mnt/sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1 Can anyone please help me to start customizing/flashing my rom? Thanks in advance... FWI: When I say "successfully compiled a rom" I mean that the kitchen makes a rom, but upon flashing it, it gives me an error. Something about boot.img not mounted right
Bump! 45 views and no replies? So many developers here, surely someone knows the answer to my problems
Tried again to build a rom using dsixda's Android Kitchen, would like to find boot mount points... can anybody help?
Sorry, I don't have this device to test, but I think you should check "/kernel emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p10" Here should be the kernel image and maybe not the whole boot.img ! As you already know , boot.img have a kernel image and a ramdisk .... but on your device , ramdisk may be under /system ... I'm not 100% sure ... but from what you've posted so it seems ! So, there is no partition on your device for boot.img ... anyway you can make a custom rom also in this case, but you should know how to flash the new kernel image and also the ramdisk ! Unfortunately Samsung has made this device quite difficult for development, but not impossible . Good luck !
