I just compiled new cwm recovery for i8552.
this is needed if you are going to see cm-10.2 on this device.(some of us working on it...)
also this is faster in flashing roms.
THIS HAS SAME GRAPHIC ISSUES AS THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF CWM.
Instructions
1.Boot in ODIN mode(Vol Down+Menu+Power ...leave Power after phone vibrates)
2.select Vol Up to go in download mode.
3.open odin 3.04 or up.
4.Uncheck auto reboot option.
5.connect phone to the pc.
6.select recovery.tar.md5 in PDA tab.
7.click start.
8.when PASS notification come --> unplug phone from pc-->remove battery and restart the phone in recovery(Vol Up+Menu+Power..leave Power after phone vibrates)

Please do inform whose Device Tree (Shabbypenguin/Ankur/Gilati) is used for this CWM.
Also if this CWM is created without the above Trees then the Master Files (boardconfig.mk, vendor.sh etc) used by you.

this is made with plane mkvendor.sh tree.
nothing special in it.
all the device trees you mention already have those files you want .\i havenot added anything more to it.
i just compiled it to the latest as it is better.

Thanks for clarifying. The bootloop issue can be taken care of by deleting the file inside /system/recovery.
However for the graphics issue you need to put the device frame buffer size.
For any developement purpose you are welcome to join my forum.
Currently I am working over the device tree of Grand Quattro.

Till now no Device Tree is created by me.
However in Github search by delos3geur. You will find three device tree of Galaxy Grand Quattro. Ankur and Shabbypenguin created both indivisually. Chirag forked from Shabbypenguins.
Before you developed CWM others use Shabbypenguins CWM.
I am somewhat astonished as Android.mk; AndroidBoard.mk;AndroidProducts.mk;device_xxxxx.mk and BoardConfig.mk files are not used by you to develop your CWM.Actually according to my concept the Device tree will look like:
arm/
+-- armboard_v7a
| +-- Android.mk
| +-- armboard_v7a.kl
| +-- BoardConfig.mk
| \-- system.prop
+-- armboard_v7a_noneon
| +-- Android.mk
| +-- armboard_v7a_noneon.kl
| +-- BoardConfig.mk
| \-- system.prop
+-- another_product
| +-- Android.mk
| +-- another_product.kl
| +-- BoardConfig.mk
| \-- system.prop
\-- products
+-- AndroidProducts.mk
+-- armboard_v7a.mk
+-- armboard_v7a_noneon.mk
\-- another_product.mk
Also as far as I recall that there is also another important file you should know about. In /system/recovery.img there is a full copy of everything that is loaded on mtd1. This file is automatically flashed onto mtd1 every time you shut down. That means two things: 1. Any changes you make directly to /dev/mtd/mtd1 get blown away on reboot and 2. If you want to change /dev/mtd/mtd1 you're probably better off just sticking the image in /system/recovery.img and rebooting. When creating your own custom update.zip files (especially when adapting the stock images), you can get tripped up if you forget to replace /system/recovery.img and it ends up overwriting /dev/mtd/mtd1.
Please do correct me so that i can update my knowledge.

my friend --->
1.there is no mtd partitions on our device. our recovery partition number is p13.
2. i currently making device tree of my own and also contributing to chirag's repository
3.actually i used Android.mk; AndroidBoard.mk;AndroidProducts.mk;device_xxxxx.mk and BoardConfig.mk to make cwm.
you can't build cwm without working device tree.
4. device tree you listed is not used in cm device tree.
to make a sample device tree just make it with mkvendor.sh, found in build/tools /device
5. our chipset is msm7x27a which some what problematic for flashing recovery and roms.
neverthless we will overcome that in next few days!!
My Dear Friend,
Yes I knew that there is no mtd partition in our device. Previously Samsung use to provide mtd partitions but now they stop that. Also like HTC there is no emmc partition. However /proc/partitions is there and through cat you can get the total partition table and then multiplying it by 1024 and then dec2hex function the partition address can be found. But the problem is that working name will till remain unknown (boot, recovery, cache etc).
Regarding standard device tree I am somewhat confused. Can this be created in a standardized format?
Regarding the graphics issue it seems that a patching is needed. However you are better to judge.
For now help me to update my knowledge how you find the partition table in standard format. Previously I extracted one firmware and then worked with the recovery partition by splitting it into kernel and ramdisk (cpio command). Later on I found the standard table inside ramdisk. It seems to me that this is not the right way to find the partition table. Please do update me.
Regards
Thank you Man.. Nw I can Flash zip file from External Sd card..

1.
ok do this
go to builder.clockworkmod.com
take the stock recovery.img
upload it there (click the option touch at the bottom)
when upload finished
you will get to the page with your build no.
go to build output(it is most likely to fail.)
click on status link in side panel.
this will show you your device tree zip, inputrecovery.img and manifest.xml
download that zip
this zip contains your standard cm device tree.
=========================
2.
cat proc/partitions will give you the partitons with blocks.
now copy that output to any text file.
extract recovery.fstab from recovery.img
now just write names of partitions with numbers with block sizes in text file. that way you get all in one file .
==============================
@zoro_deepak ya this supports external sd.
My Dear Friend,
The second part is known to me but regarding the second part you are simply great. I always use to get the fail status and then i left the page, you have given me a way out.
Many Thanks & Regards
Is restore function not working? i tried to restore but i got error "file not found"....
i found a way to make it work. by default CWM makes a directory on internal sd named O\clockwork.. then i move clockwork folder on root of internal. now it works.

You can also find the working partitions name under the following
ls -l /dev/block/platform/sdhci.1/byname/
The above is for Galaxy Trend S7392. But I think you can get it by probing /dev/block/platform sub directories easily.

My phone has 16mb recovery part but the recovery.img I made is 25 mb so I can't flash it In BoardConfig.mk, I can wrote at least 24.936.448 at the line of BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_SIZE to compile the recovery image. How can I solve this problem? Can I reduce the size of the .img file to 16 mb?

I don't understand how you ended up with such a big recovery... The biggest ramdisk I saw (in TWRP) is not more than 4-5 Mb. Do you have a kernel over 20Mb? It can't be, otherwise the stock recovery will be oversized too. Somewhere you made a mistake probably.
And to answer your question, no you can't reduce the size of recovery that big; if you have a kernel compressed in xz, you may try to compress the ramdisk in xz too, and the size will be smaller, but not enough... you need to downsize it with 9Mb, which is not possible.
So check again, to see if there isn't a mistake somewhere.

I took a screenshot of my CM11-0/out/target/product/msm8226/root folder which is 25 mb. There is a boot.img file. I think the problem is that file. I unpacked a few recovery.img files but none of them included that file. If problem is this, how can I remove that file from my ramdisk?
I removed that file and flashed new recovery.img but now my phone isn't booting in recovery mode.

No, for checking recovery root you need to look here: CM11-0/out/target/product/msm8226/recovery/root . But anyway that folder looks strange (I see a perl script there)....
Check my screenshot below.
And type a
Code:
make clobber
before stating a new build, or
Code:
make clean
between repetitive builds.
im getting this error each time i try to compile:
make: *** No rule to make target `/etc/init.rc'
please any suggestions

You need to be more specific: what recovery you try to build, in what environment (if it's not cm-11), and post a link to your device folder tree. That error means that the compiler can't find an init.rc file to add in ramdisk.
Compiler stops after a few segments
This is shown in my terminal:
Code:
cp: cannot stat ‘/home/paul/cm-10.2/out/target/product/Ultra/root/init.recovery.*.rc’: No such file or directory
make: [/home/paul/cm-10.2/out/target/product/Ultra/recovery/root.ts] Error 1 (ignored)
mkdir -p /home/paul/cm-10.2/out/target/product/Ultra/recovery/root/system/bin
cp -rf device/CherryMobile/Ultra/recovery/root /home/paul/cm-10.2/out/target/product/Ultra/recovery/
cp: omitting directory ‘device/CherryMobile/Ultra’
make: *** [/home/paul/cm-10.2/out/target/product/Ultra/recovery/root.ts] Error 1
[email protected] ~/cm-10.2 $ make clobber
And you wrote about the problem:
During the build process you may encounter some errors or warnings.
*********************
Code:
Code:
cp: cannot stat `/home/carliv/CM11-0/out/target/product/P780/root/init.recovery.*.rc': No such file or directory
make: [/home/carliv/CM11-0/out/target/product/P780/recovery/root.ts] Error 1 (ignored)
This will not stop the build, and it appears if you don't use a init.recovery.{hardware}.rc file. Can be ignored, as the build process does.
Though in my terminal it just stopped at that part so I had to rename mine which was originally init.recovery.qcom.rc to init.recovery.*.rc
--edit--
And yet it still would not continue ... Any ideas on how to fix this?
--edit # 2--
Here's the pastebin link just in case ->biQ7kjV8 add that to pastebin...(I can't post links)
--edit # 3--
I fixed it... Turns out that it was just a BoardConfig.mk parameter that I forgot to complete
Calculate proper BoardConfig.mk partition sizes
I have this log:
Code:
----- Making recovery image ------

Help required for compiling CWM for android 4.4.2 version only?
I am on Ubuntu 14.0.4 and I am trying to build a CWM recovery for Celkon Q 5009android 4.4.2, Broadcom processor). I have set up build environment and currently working on syncing repo. I have heard that it takes too much time and disk space to complete this process. I am interested to know in the following particular scenario : want to build only CWM recovery from source for an android running on version 4.4.2. So do I have to download all repositories or is there any shortcut that would enable me to not download all, but a certain part that is required for android 4.4.2? If yes, how to go about it? please help.
Please help. I do not undertstand why 'repo sync' always fails at a particular stage, though I have 30+ GB of disk space available in my working folder named 'cm12'. Following is the last screen message :
Fetching project platform/external/ant-glob

Now should I run 'repo sync' again or should I use 'repo sync -j1' ?

Hey,
In which size are the values in BoardConfig.mk at BOARD_BOOTIMAGE_PARTITION_ZISE? bit?
And how I can convert blocks to this size because my lge only print out the partition sizes in blocks.

Somewhere around that post you will find your answer.
Hi. Your guide is the most useful I found on the net. Much more than the official cyanogenmod wiki's porting one. Thanks a lot.
I'm trying to use it to build a cm 12.1 (lollipop) cwm on a mediatek device.
1) My stock rom (also Android 5.1) already ships a fstab.mt6795 file into the ramdisk. I moved it inside /recovery/root, and copied its content in /recovery/recovery.fstab
This is its content, should I make any change inside it?
Code:
# Android fstab file.
#<src> <mnt_point> <type> <mnt_flags and options> <fs_mgr_flags>
# 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

2) How can I find out which of the .rc files available in stock ramdisk include in my recovery, besides the renamed init.rc copied from /bootable/recovery/etc ?
3) My stock rom obviously already ships a init.mt6795.rc. Should I merge any of its lines to the one I copied from /bootable/recovery/etc in my /recovery folder?
Thanks in advance for your time and your efforts.

2) How can I find out which of the .rc files available in stock ramdisk include in my recovery, besides the renamed init.rc copied from /bootable/recovery/etc ?
3) My stock rom obviously already ships a init.mt6795.rc. Should I merge any of its lines to the one I copied from /bootable/recovery/etc in my /recovery folder?
Thanks in advance for your time and your efforts.

First let me ask you where did you find a cwm for lollipop to build it? I'm interested to see that.
Second in recovery fstab you may want to add emmc partitions like boot, recovery... Check my github and look at elephone p6000 device folder (it's close enough to understand). If internal sdcard is on data/media you don't have to add it at all in fstab (at least that was the rule for kitkat... again I need to see the source for that lollipop cwm to tell you exactly). In elephone device recovery fstab you can see that usb and external sdcard are defined as auto for type not vfat because it is better to let minivold manage that.
Normaly for cm12.1 ther is no need to copy any rc file in root, only the fstab. {hardware}, which you said you did.
Again I can tell more if I will see the source code for the recovery, and last thing my guide is quite old now but I'm glad you found it useful.
Thanks for your quick reply.
I think I've not been so clear explaining what I'm doing: when I talk about "Lollipo CWM" I just mean that I'm working on 12.1 branch of cyanogenmod source tree, that as you know is based on the same sources of Lollipop, instead of the one the guide was originally aimed to.
1) I feel really dumb at this moment. I don't know exactly how many time I read that fstab file, and I never noticed that it lacks entries for partitions not managed by stock recovery. Sorry if I wasted your time with a stupid question.
2)For sdcards, then it's better to leave untouched the voldmanaged options, but change the filesystem type to auto?
3) I don't need to copy any other .rc file (init.mt6795.usb.rc, init.xlog.rc, etc...), nor to merge anything from init.mt6795.rc of the stock rom. Right?
Thanks again.

I did understand it's cm12.1, but that was my question since there is no cwm for cm12.1 only cyanogenmod recovery which is different. At the moment I only recommend twrp for cm12.1+ and for that you have to use a different fstab, easy to find on github or here on xda in twrp threads.
Then, if I'm not too much confused:
- since CM12, Clockworkmod isn't anymore included in its source tree
- if I don't set any RECOVERY_VARIANT it defaults to CyanogenMod Recovery, not CWM anymore
- the recovery.img I built is, at its best, a Cyanogenmod recovery
- the recovery.fstab I used (the one i posted before, but now with /boot, /recovery and /nvram entries added) is in version 2 format, that twrp doesn't understand. So I have to find out how to convert in the old fstab format.
Am I right?
Another question: I used the last version of your CarlivKitchen. That doesn't offer anymore the choice to re/pack for standard android or for mtk images, because it automatically detect the format. But when it repacks, it adds the mtk header if the original image had it? Or am I forced to use a custom boot image maker?

Yes for all and for twrp fstab I think you can study device folders from twrp github (few are mediatek).
My kitchen now detects if image has mtk header and will repack it the same way (it stores a variable in unpacked folder which will tell that it must add a mtk header).
I decided to follow this guide to integrate the changes needed to build twrp instead of cwm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943625
It doesn't cover all the preparation steps like yours do. Do you think there are changes to be made to make your guide suitable for cm12 and twrp, or I can follow it until the " Build a CWM-based Recovery " paragraph?
Mainly to challenge myself, is it possible through chroot Linux or by some other method through a rooted AOSP based arm64 Android environment, to create a build environment suitable to build a Linux kernel, boot image, etc... And if so what are the caveats? Would a cross-compiling toolchain be necessary at this point? I would be building for other devices just like it... arm64. Also I would be interested in building halium for the K20
Ok so to start off I've used Linux deploy to create an Ubuntu chroot environment. I wrote init.d script to mount bind my external SD card which is formatted in ext4 for my cloned repositories to my chroot home folder. I also have my downloads folder or my internal SD card mounted to the home folder in the chroot environment. I've installed a bunch of recommended compilers and development packages in Ubuntu and I'm about to clone the halium source.
I'm basically here either waiting for some advice or suggestions or for someone to tell me I'm **ssing in the wind
Little info on what this all is.
If you are expecting a working kernel or rom after reading this all. That is not what this thread is.
What this all is intended for is material to help with getting you to the next step, if you are at a road block.
What will you gain from all this?
A fair bit of knowledge on working with msm-4.14 kernel and maybe others.
Make sure to have your search bar ready with a piece of the issue (key word of the error will do) and go through the hidden tabs until you pick up your error, with the browser search function (ctrl+f on most browsers)
Spoiler: OLD info
Method I used for building the kernel
1. Dowload AOSP common-kernel-4.14 through git
OR
ANDROID 10 Specific
refs/heads/q-common-android-4.14 - kernel/manifest - Git at Google
2. Download Xiaomi TUCANA-Q-SOURCE for android 10 source code from MiCode git.

3. extract if you did not use git to download sources.
You will need AOSP 10 R29 downloaded. R29 Matches Stock MIUI 12.0.4
4. mkdir kernelbuild (can be what ever) then extract both AOSP KERNEL (git) ,build, common, kernel, prebuilts, master-prebuilts folders to the kernelbuild folder.
5. just use TUCANA source and don't merge with AOSP common source. Don't delete common either
4. copy AOSP kernel folder (contains 4.14) to TUCANA source and merge (Still not sure if you need to do this)
5. make sure you have AOSP-10 from git already. If not, repo it.
6. Go to AOSP-10 REPO>prebuilts>gcc>linux-x86>aarch64 location and get (aarch64-linux-android-4.9) folder and copy it to root Tucana source files folder make a directory call toolchain TUCANA source. in prebuilts>gcc>linux-x86>aarch64 folder replace and merge all
7. Not sure if this is outdated but got the export info from MSM section at https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/wiki/How-to-compile-kernel-standalone
e.g.
export CROSS_COMPILE=/<toolchain-location/prebuilts>GCC>/bin/aarch64-linux-android-
mkdir out
cd out
Taken from mi code section for MSM 4.14
export ARCH=arm64
export SUBARCH=arm64
export DTC_EXT=dtc
Set CONFIG_BUILD_ARM64_DT_OVERLAY=y
(does not work from what i can tell. Have to enable using menuconfig)
if not inside the "out" folder use O=out on next command, will also have to type cd ../ to go back in source if using this command.
(-jN (N is for a number))
make -jN tucana_user_defconfig
make menuconfig (configure config to your liking)
use save button (highlight save and press enter, can use arrow key right and left as well)
make -jN
Or it could be
make -jN ARCH=arm64
After doing all this, for me the build fails. Its driving me insane!
I think I also was using the wrong AOSP kernel, was using common-4.14 and now using this one

guessing the Q is for Android 10
MY DEMON!!!!!
1615228944041.png
i think it is not working because i am using Android 10 R41 and should be using Android 10 R29. Testing it now.
Alright, went from ubuntu version 20 to 18 (Bionic is more reliable and easier to set up).
Had 20, due to bionic auto updated (my own fault).
Version 20 does work with some modding and adding bionic to the repo's of ubuntu.
I tried using AOSP toolchain and also Qualcomm's (QQ-LLV) LLV toolchain 8.0 for clang.
The part from MiCode wiki on github is saying to use CLANG_Triple with aarch64-linux-gnu which I can not find this file anywhere.
Not in QQ-LLV, AOSP-10-R29 aarch64 that is located in prebuilts > gcc
so the main problem I am getting is the cpu timer failing, during the build process. I try to modify the config by typing "make menuconfig" and then change the cpu govern type from performance to ondemand and saving it as .config (not sure if it is supposed to be the same name as the tucana-user-defconfig, let me know if this is the problem)
the AOSP android version I am using is R29. The AOSP kernel I am using is common-4.14
none of these files have aarch64-linux-gnu.
I am starting to slowly give up on this whole thing. spent 7 days just to get a cpu timer problem during build.
Oh and the source i am using is from Micode github under tucana for android 10 (Q)
Just sprung up an idea. I think i am supposed to first use Qualcomms LLVM toolchain 8.0 with the Mi source code package to make up the files needed in order to use anything from AOSP. please let me know if this is correct.
No matter what guide i find for it, it shows CLANG_TRIPLE=aarch64-linux-gnu- and every time. it just can not find it. no idea how to get this.
it work in clang triple for -gnu

Spoiler: UPDATE 2022 WORKING BUILD WITH ISSUES
Alright I decided to give it another shot in 2022 because of getting replies.
1. Get your source from device brand. (https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource)
2. Use Mi code wiki to learn how to build (https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/wiki)
3. Go right hand side for standalone kernel. Because the how to section just waste hours on end with nothing built and Soong and clang errors.
4. Follow msm-4.14 for a guide. (https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/wiki/How-to-compile-kernel-standalone)
5. Make sure to have dtc binary file from aosp source (https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/misc/) choose your android version. Check device for android version. Can use CPU ID in playstore under System, section API LEVEL.
6. Get llvm Snapdragon from Qualcomm. (https://developer.qualcomm.com/software/snapdragon-llvm-compiler-android) I used both but you should be able to use 8.0. both have off same results during the build process.
7. Get Aosp gcc
(https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/aarch64/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/)
8. Put LLVM Snapdragon toolchain and AOSP gcc into a folder in root of kernel folder called toolchain.
9. Run the script mi provided. Change the 6.0 on the last 2 make commands to 8.0 unless you are already using 6.0, then you can leave it at 6.0.
10. Build.
11. Get a boot.img extractor from github or on these forums. I can't recommend one yet, due to not having full success. Can search boot.img extractor or boot.img unpacked as seperate search terms.

Hey mate, thanks for the reply. Could you put a link to your thread so I can check it out.
Found it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/building-lineageos-17-1-from-source.4245417/
I also have posted on Qualcomm forums.
LINK: https://developer.qualcomm.com/forum/qdn-forums/software/snapdragon-llvm-compiler-android/68403
I found out qcomm has its own builder for msm devices. It's known as QAEP. I have been trying to build the sm6150 with Tucana defconfig. The thread above is the issue I have in trying to build it. No idea how to get "SDClang" so as soon as I work that out. It should build with QAEP instead of using AOSP.
There's a commit where I add SDCLANG support (but I don't think that's needed, is backed out atm) https://github.com/alibei/android_d...mmit/efbb3c66aa0d385e58052675402489c13392576e )There's a similar commit in the kernel.
You need to register to Qualcomm to download it, and unzip it in kernel/toolchains, just as https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/wiki/How-to-compile-kernel-standalone says under "You must get llvm clang from qcom". You just have to get the 8.x version.

Yeah I am not trying to use Lineage sources. so far steps I have taken are as follows.
1. Mi source code download of Tucana android 10, data source, wifi source, audio source.
2. Extracted Mi tucana source in a directory (also tried the git way to update CAF tags).
3. using AOSP as the source for build. I tried using Clang with cross compile with gcc (GNU)
4. with using all AOSP toolchains so clang and gcc from AOSP and then using LLVM clang as reall cc, due to it does not contain clang itself.
all that for kernel and it builds but I feel its missing drivers. due to the warnings that Qcom gives. also got wifi modules installed but not audio. Audio source is a little different then the wifi source.
For the proprietary binaries. I used lineage Extract script with the lineage 17.1 tucana proprietary-files.txt list.
extraction worked on miui_TUCANAGlobal_V12.0.4.0.QFDMIXM_be49be8fa0_10.0.zip.
but of course the device tree is missing, found the platform sm6150 device tree on QAEP. so now trying to use QAEP to build not only the kernel but the rom as well using QAEP instead of AOSP. think we need to use QAEP, then using the files built. can then move over to aosp for upgrading, etc.
Could you explain this error considering you managed to get SDClang working. it may solve my problem. error provided below.

I have a SDCLANG_PATH set in BoardConfig.mk in the commit I pointed to earlier.

I think I just solved it, so i noticed you talk about Boardconfig.mk and when i checked out your git code, it had in the same config the target. well QAEP is a little different it not only has a Boardconfig file but also a AndroidBoard config file. so i think i am supposed to be adding it in there instead of Boardconfig. testing it now.

Something else i also noticed that is not working.

And can confirm above configuration changes are not working, not sure where it is located to tell it the path.
I cannot speak for QAEP (I barely began reading about lineage but in my case I don't have out/target/product/sm6150 at all, only out/target/product/tucana, which seems to be the name of the kernel (or device or vendor). Do you also have other repos pulled in that contain kernel named sm6150? Like https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_xiaomi_sm6150 Maybe you should not have both

So where yours is out/target/product/tucana, the one for QAEP is SM6150 which is in the same location. so I think maybe on the right track here. also thanks for the help for llvm dragon, had to set bin path, for it to work. but i have not gone a built the rom yet, doing the kernel build first now.
Instead of relying on QAEP builder. I went and got kernel/build from code-aurora for android 10 r40 and ended up getting misc linux folder in kernel also gcc and build tools from the device tag release repo on codeaurora.
Usually i was using AOSP but now switched over to all QAEP tools and sources.
I am testing the Micode Audio and wifi source. got wifi working during kernel build by adding this below.
EXT_MODULES="
mods/wlan/qcacld-3.0
"
IN_KERNEL_MODULES=1
I believe that installs the wifi drivers for the device as a module. but building with clang, gcc and gnu as clang tripple this is all related to only kernel building.
Spoiler: Update
Done an overhaul on everything for the kernel. decided to switch from QAEP to AOSP.
Reason for the switch, I noticed with AOSP I am able to not only download the kernel/msm4.14 common folder but it also downloads build, prebuilts, prebuilts-master folders with everything included.
Differences aside from what I mentioned above.
AOSP common-4.14 comes with up to date builder, gcc, clang, etc. But when I download the release tag for example, LA.UM.9.1.r1-06700-SMxxx0.0 at codeaurora on the otherhand, it only downloads the common folder and no extra folders for it.
So then in turn. you have to go on codeaurora and download by using git clone, the build folder for what ever android version it is. for example, I had android version 29 (r29) though it does not exist in the branch list on codeaurora so i went with 28.
I should also note that making the change from QAEP to AOSP I started again with the kernel source.
With making the change, I have noticed improvements right away, but also I noticed that having CC=clang, the build would not work untill I also put in HOSTCC=gcc. guessing its to do with the AOSP version being a little different. still using QualComms LLVM clang compiler for everything clang related.

Spoiler: Config commands
This right here may have just solved all my problems. can confirm in all my config tries. Never once thought to put aarch64-linux-android before all variable values.

export AR=$target_host-ar
export AS=$target_host-clang
export CC=$target_host-clang
export CXX=$target_host-clang++
export LD=$target_host-ld
export STRIP=$target_host-strip
Also discovered that LD=ld.lld is for clang compiler. could be why the above Problem is happening.
This is using the toolschains without NDK, may have to put qualcomm and gcc in NDK and path them.
So after trying to downgrade to android 10 from 11, had no luck in doing so.
So now sticking with android 11 and I can safely say that I have reached a mile stone.
I ended up downloading android 11 R30 and using all the tool chains from AOSP while still using Qualcomm's LLVM compiler 8.0.6 as REAL_CC. But the clang pre-built path is clang from AOSP. Just trying to work out how to include the Xiaomi audio source. Unable to work out where to put it. Still testing, have not given up.
Hi @Squida, where is `mods/wlan/qcacld-3.0` from, the qcom talos referenced above in BoardConfig.mk?
Do you have an exact link to the repo?
In the meantime I can confirm I am missing something form the kernel. If I build everything myself and replace _just_ the kernel (with my dtb appended etc) it has sound/wireless, so knowing what wifi / audio module to link in seems the way to go.

Thanks, I think I get now what you're saying with 'talos', I poked at those repos now.
It seems to me the modules are built out of tree, as they don't appear in the extracted kernel config. (See https://github.com/b100dian/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/commit/0f4b062ef806aaad6ad02e2efd87809e8b7250c6).
Also, having dlkm from https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/device/qcom/common/tree/?h=LA.UM.8.9.r1-03800-sm6150.0 does not seem to help automate the build, I get all sorts of errors when AndroidKernelModule.mk is included and it includes back the AndroidKernel.mk..
Getting these into drivers/staging seems easier at first but..for now, I've only managed to build wlan.ko but that still errors out with `wlan: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout` :-S

It seems you are having a similar issue.
When doing everything I have done so far, The biggest wall for me is getting <LD=LD.lld> to work properly, I either get clang error with a file having a linking problem with using clang from QQ llvm compiler. And when I switch over to using AOSP's 4.14 stable kernel prebuilts-master clang. It works but then another error to do with CPU timer pops up. Which was originally because of using gcc instead of clang in the CC=clang environment variable, or removing it out of the build.config file.
i myself did a major overhaul of Ubuntu and have upgraded to LTS 20.04 from 18 bionic.
Noticed some things right away.
When you install gcc-multilib and g++-multilib. You get version 9 instead of you being on Ubuntu bionic and getting version 7. Also faster in general with general use of the operating system using Oracle vmbox. On windows 10.
Apart from linking errors, kernel is buding but only with not having LD=LD.lld in the build.config file.
Spoiler: wifi-info
And for the wifi qcom. Mods folder I added manually. Inside the devices source folder. Then copied WLAN sources inside and renamed the folder to just WLAN.
Spoiler: where I am at now
I have got both android 11 and android 10 kernel and ROMs. Also went and downloaded the kernel for coral. That's how I found out about the wifi and how I got a lot of the settings for the build.config.
I am gonna have a break on this whole thing, gotten to a point where with android 11 Xiaomi Phoenix. I get one error with a file in kbuild, using the same config settings for android 10. I get none. Apart from the qcom space which is either DTC not working or failing at some point. Not sure if we need to use LD=LD.lld I have been reading it is not needed due to the builder choosing the correct one for you.
Overall though it builds. Just the spam for qcom warnings I just can not get rid of and it's to do with the sensors.
If anyone has information on what causes the qcom spam. Please let me know, thank you.
Plus this all started with vmlinux not working right. Something to do with channel scratch. Can not fix it.

stackoverflow.com
Key part taken from above link.
**Its hard to build pure AOSP than other ROMs. While building a custom ROM a lot of components wont work**
I think for our devices we have no choice but to use QAEP instead of AOSP, it explains why it fails to build properly. we first need a full working rom and then I think we can move over to AOSP and modify lets say, coral device and match it for our device. Though I think it is just easier using QAEP and why QAEP exists in the first place.
When I used QAEP, I got the SDCLANG problem, the build process according to the Micode git wiki, section "How to use" explains on how to configure and by the looks of the guide. It seems simple as cooking a boiled egg with only a couple of modifications to a device tree and adding your kernel to the kernel folder. It is supposed to build. I myself get SDClang path problems when using QAEP though.
I will go back to QAEP but i will be using all android 11 sources. due to unable to downgrade my phone from android 11 to 10. Having issues at the moment with TWRP installing. Shows my folder structure folder and file names. all random characters.
I will update as i get further in building the kernel and rom
Spoiler: Thoughts2
So I am now merging the built kernel into the kernel directory of AOSP 10. Made a folder called common and moved the built kernel into it. Also made a folder called prebuilts and put in all the .gz into it under a folder called 4.14. discovered that the AOSP 10 picked up the common folder with the built kernel but is having errors with Android.bp, will update as I find out more. Right now, just tinkering.
This is the issue when you have the build tools outside the source folder.
Could be a path I have not set properly. once I removed the command from POST_DEFCONFIG_CMDS="" it is now building.
Couple of things to note.
REAL_CC= I believe has now changed to HOSTCC=. Command is not found in any files in the build directory of the AOSP 4.14 STABLE Kernel.
QualComms LLVM 8.0.6 Compiler does not contain clang files. you still need to either download it, or just use the one in AOSP 4.14 Stable kernel, plus the clang version in AOSP stable kernel is a later version and also contains clang version for android 10+ instead of android 9.
New error I get after changes mentioned above are made.
Not sure where to put -fPIC to make the command function.
Fixed it, was a pathing issue with folders.
But now I am stuck now on finding out the directory for LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
Code:
DTC arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/apq8016-sbc.dtb
dtc: error while loading shared libraries: /home/avm/dev/source/kernel/prebuilts-master/ndk/toolchains/llvm-Snapdragon_LLVM_for_Android_8.0/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/lib/libc++.so: file too short

CC lib/rhashtable.o
Spoiler: Extra Discovered Info
${ROOT_DIR} is used. With it and you don't need to export it. Builder already knows what it is. so you use it like this for example
************************************
CC=${ROOT_DIR}/path-to-QQ_LLVM_COMPILER clang binary file, located in bin folder.
Also do this for ld.lld
LD=${ROOT_DIR}/path-to-ld.lld
************************************
Found another odd thing that happens
Having CC=PATH-TO-QQ-llvm-compiler/clang with CC_PREBUILT_BIN as aosp's location and HOSTCC=clang
It builds.
But with LD=
It fails.
I try using QQ-LLVM-Compiler as CC_Prebuilt_bin=
Fails.
So far I have managed to get to this point.
And can safely say that using QualComs LLVM 8.0.6 compiler does not work with android 10 so stick with AOSP's prebuilt clang either in Kernel stable git or AOSP android-Number-Revision
Again, REAL_CC does not work, nor show up in the enviroment as a used command.
These below all do.
<CC=>, <HOSTCC=>, <HOSTLDFLAGS=-fuse-ld=lld>, <NM=llvm-nm>, <OBJCOPY=llvm-objcopy>, <HOSTLD=>, <LD=>,
HOSTCC= will use what is put in CLANG_PREBUILT_BIN=
CC= you are able to add QQ-LLVM-COMPILER's clang and it will run.
Proof of QQ-LLVM-COMPILER failing, when using it for <CLANG_PREBUILT_BIN=>
Instead of using AOSP's clang.
So far that is all I have seen pop up.
All these changes were done with the Kernel AOSP-COMMON-4.14-STABLE build, kernel, prebuilts, prebuilts-master folders and then with the devices source in a folder with a build.config file in the same location as the AOSP-kernel build folders. this all seems to work, Only thing I lose out on, is using POST_DEFCONFIG_CMDS="" to use make menuconfig.
Reason that make does not work is because according to AOSP coral's kernel you have another build.config file which is with the build folder, prebuilts, master-prebuilts folders which connects to the main build.config.common and clang config that has the extra commands. So in turn I do not think we use LD=ld.lld
We let the builder choose it for us.
95% sure that the DTC is what is causing qcom to have that warning spam.
Device tree compiler (DTC) linking seems to be the full cause of all the issues.
Okay to prevent fixdep.c:105:10: error all you need to do is have HOSTCC=gcc and it works. so then in turn. You can now use QQ LLVM Clang compiler in CLANG_PREBUILT_BIN= instead of AOSP.

Spoiler: Still going
Still going at it, manage to find out a couple of things.
If your build is failing due to files missing, check your build directory and make sure the files in the path folder and in Linux-x86>bin folders are indeed "symlinked" something I was unaware of with Linux due to me being a windows user. none of the icons can have an X on it. it means its broken. this solved a ton of my issues during Rom building.
the build folder itself is a symlink folder. (Not all files)
Just locate and put files in correct places. so instead of having a folder called toolchains, like we are told on the Micode wiki, etc. If you use the AOSP-kernel build, prebuilts, prebuilts-master. which contains all kernel and build tools. and are already linked. so then you just add QQ-LLVM-Compiler to either prebuilts or pre-builts master and link it in the config.
If you do all this correctly and having all files in the proper location, you should not have any more build errors in regards to missing files.
Summed up
Build directory contains symlinks to binary files which are located in prebuilts and prebuilts-master. you need all 3 folders in the device source root directory.
Inside the build directory you will find a file called build.config, its not a config. its a symlink for one. Rename it to the build.config.Aarch64 for example, or what ever your config is called located in your root devices source directory. this solved a **** load of my problems.
The problem I have now is actually got to do with Repo, AOSP, QAEP. found out using the manual install method of repo makes it so you can download off google when you have the pgp key installed. but having it installed this way, stuffs up gpg for QAEP. I am looking for a way to merge all PGP keys in one location.
and to get QAEP downloading without showing this error.
All you have to do is remove the manual repo you installed and then also deleting the .repoconfig folder and .gnupg folder.
Then install repo with <sudo snap install git-repo>
it will work, you will get a public key under john doe and it will use CAF as well. problem is. You lose out on public key to AOSP and also the repo that is inside the AOSP folder needs to be replaced. trying it just causes errors though.
What happens when you do above by removing the manual repo and adding the snap git-repo
So why does it matter that I need both public keys to work?
Because I am using AOSP and also QAEP for testing.
I'll be sticking with the snap instal git-repo for now. i'll have to work out how to add the key from AOSP.
**Error when going back to AOSP**
**what happens when you delete the repo folder inside .repo of AOSP**
Only way I got it to work is by removing the snap install version of repo and install the manual way.
But then I lose out on CAF.
Think i may have worked out what is happening with the keys. 2 folders are being made. .repoconfig and .gnupg.
.gnupg only gets created when using AOSP pgp key.
and there is a gnupg folder in .repoconfig, might be a command to merge the files.
this command below makes it so you can change the name.
--config-name
put it at the end of the repo init command.
from what I understand for the tucana_user_defconfig.
#CONFIG_BUILD_ARM64_DT_OVERLAY does not need to be set. for mi 9, yes. not for mi note 10. Just pulled the defconfig from my device using the command below.
**EXTRACT DEFCONFIG FROM DEVICE**
MSM devices
CMD> adb pull /proc/config.gz
files appears as config.gz in same directory
I should also note that I ran 2 builds one with DT_OVERLAY=Y and then one =N
the outcome was with the change of CONFIG_BUILD_ARM64_DT_OVERLAY=n
That is not how it is setup, the proper way to disable it is as follows.
#CONFIG_BUILD_ARM64_DT_OVERLAY is not set
I got a bigger file size for Image.gz-dtb. instead of under 20MB
Have it on so you can extract DTBO and dtb files. having it off stops it from extracting.
THIS error or what ever the hell it is, is driving me insane.
My understanding is that DTBO (overlay), when enabled, ends up in dtbo.img, and when disabled, probably ends up in dtb which is appened to the kernel Image.gz.
The gsi_write_channel_scratch error is... maybe this helps? https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/931#issuecomment-599681910

Btw, thank you @Squida for pointing me out the correct repos for wifi and audio, I managed to compile both into my build and the audio one inline (the wifi needs to be insmod'ed).

You sir, are a Legend!
Okay So if I am reading that right.
If you mean DT_OVERLAY=y in defconfig, makes it so I can get the dtbo.img file. I tried adding the dtbo.img to the list of files for extraction and with it on, no dtbo image is made nor found, with it off. still the same thing but unable to extract any dtb or dtbo images from the boot directory. have to have it on.
dtbo.img just does not want to extract for me.
Again, using the clang config and not the mi 9 config used on Micode wiki.
the Micode Wiki settings do not work correctly. you lose out on about a GB of stuff and I know its a DTC issue I have been having due to the Qcom spam.
I have reduced the space though so now you can actually scroll through the whole build process, including the spam.
I will definitely be looking into that solution for channel scratch.
Also if you could please show me the config for the SDClang settings you put it to get it to detect. I tried looking over your git page and failed to understand why you have it in boardconfig.mk and if lineage has other files for the device.
Reason being is because on QAEP it talks about SDclang-3.8 and i have no idea where it is.. Supposed to be in QQ-LLVM-compiler and you copy it to the prebuilts folders, it just does not exist to do that.
the major problem I have is building the device tree when building the kernel. from my understanding, Xiaomi have set it up so DTC creates a Device tree for you. well that is the part that is failing and the whole reason why I can not make a rom.
My guess because you are using lineage sources, everything I am talking about. they already did for you. I am trying to do it all manually. learning purposes.
Okay so it turns out, we need LD=ld.lld
Though we must modify files, this is ridiculous just to get your own rom for xiaomi devices.
This thread below may have the solution for me and an easier one then having to modify files manually. Might have to update the Devices Kernel to the stable aosp 4.14 kernel. this is my theory anyway.

Of course, this is the reason. I don't know exactly how the lineage build scripts generate dtbo.img. There's make bootimage, make vendorimage and maybe make dtboimage too. Probably this command helps you generate it, but I don't think I had success with that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nel-dtbo-for-redmi-k20.3973787/#post-80354635
The image size differs and the one created by lineage build scripts is the same size as the original one.
I also have console spam when the device tree is generated, I just didnt sweat on it as being an error.
BoardConfig is probably central to the lineage build, but I assume the variables set here are available to kernel's make commands.
For a lineage-less built I used the first two commands here: https://gist.github.com/b100dian/40c8dbe746ff181aff71ee10a75a5f3c (the rest of the things are my attempts to construct back the boot.img with the kernel).
To actually boot the kernel you can gzip it, and append the dtb file to it (
like
Code:
cat Image.gz dtb > Image.gz-dtb
).
, and _then_ reconstruct a deconstructed original boot.img with that (w/o the --dtb parameter if I remember correctly). But I think kernel output already has -dtb concatenated in out/arch/arm64/boot

Spoiler: Might be the solution to DTC
Code:

Above solution might be the key thing to solving my issues with DTC. i can safely say I never once put the ARCH= and SUBARCH= in DTC_EXT= this may have solved it.
As for the rom building itself, I may have to use AOSP over QAEP, due to the whole SDCLANG issue
Link:
https://developer.qualcomm.com/forum/qdn-forums/software/snapdragon-llvm-compiler-android/68403#comment-18264
Those issues are all related to QAEP, I have less problems with AOSP.
Just don't have a device tree for it. that is why I need DTC working perfectly.
For what it is worth, tried looking for a default device tree that was not based off lineage-os. No luck thus far.
But isn't the device tree what's in arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/ in the kernel sources?
There's even a Makefile there where you can see CONFIG_BUILD_ARM64_DT_OVERLAY in use

Lmao holy ****, I think I know where I stuffed up. I was navigating extract only at boot. Did not go further then boot directory lol. I'll test now with navigating to qcom. Thanks for the tip.
***UPDATE***
Managed to work out why all these problems are occurring.
Okay so from what I understand, there is 2 building methods.
1. Using terminal and using export commands.
2. build.config file
To test the theory to make sure that indeed there is a double up on builds, I decided to put the whole Micode Mi 9 export guide into the build.config that I have (made a backup of it) after executing it did indeed show errors.
so then I investigate how it is failing and it came to my attention that the export method for the make defconfig and then build is seperate for build.config.
for the kbuild, we issue the environment variables for example, these below.
When I say its Kbuild variables, it could be clang or gcc. Not 100% sure though.
Spoiler: Kbuild Environment Variables
# PRE_DEFCONFIG_CMDS
# Command evaluated before `make defconfig`
#
# POST_DEFCONFIG_CMDS
# Command evaluated after `make defconfig` and before `make`.

# POST_KERNEL_BUILD_CMDS
# Command evaluated after `make`.
#
# EXTRA_CMDS
# Command evaluated after building and installing kernel and modules.
#
# DIST_CMDS
# Command evaluated after copying files to DIST_DIR

and it will add in REAL_CC, etc to the defconfig and upon making the build it should inturn do the rest.
Does anyone know the environment variable for kernel build so i can then put in the make command for the build and include REAL_CC=, etc. I managed to get the first make command for the defconfig working.
PRE_DEFCONFIG_CMDS="make O=out/android-4.14 REAL_CC=${PWD}/prebuilts-master/ndk/toolchains/llvm-Snapdragon_LLVM_for_Android_8.0/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang CLANG_TRIPLE=aarch64-linux-gnu- tucana_user_defconfig"
I just now have to get the below command working. not sure what environment variable to put it under.
make -j$(nproc) O=out/android-4.14 REAL_CC=${PWD}/prebuilts-master/ndk/toolchains/llvm-Snapdragon_LLVM_for_Android_8.0/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang CLANG_TRIPLE=aarch64-linux-gnu- 2>&1 | tee kernel.log
Found it!
By searching in build directory then build.sh file.
and *_setup_env.sh* has settings as well that will help.

Better to use CAF for MSM devices.
[REFERENCE] Merge latest CAF Tag in Kernel
Introduction: Hello folks! In this thread I will be guiding you about how you can merge latest CAF tags in your CAF based kernel. Many people who just started compiling the kernels still don't know how to merge a CAF tag because there isn't any...
forum.xda-developers.com
Upon further research on the topic of MAKE_ARGS=$*
from what I now understand and please keep in mind, I am in no way a programmer or good with Linux overall.
I think the $* symbol is a value itself, so from my understanding. If i use lets say $S=Something I have just made an variable that will be used in MAKE_ARGS=$*
If my theory for this is correct, this is how I add in the make variables for the last build command to start the build.
Should be able to do this.
make -j$(nproc) O=out/android-4.14 REAL_CC=${PWD}/prebuilts-master/ndk/toolchains/llvm-Snapdragon_LLVM_for_Android_8.0/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang CLANG_TRIPLE=aarch64-linux-gnu- 2>&1 | tee kernel.log
Oh and the config is make commands, found that out as well. you have MAKE and SOONG commands and configs. I so prefer Make variables over Soong. looks easier to read for me.

The build config above is indeed for Mi11, we do not need gsi settings or the 3rd command starting with O=$OUT for Mi note 10 pro
By implementing the changes above, outcome below.
Just now have to resolve kernel issues and this should build with no more issues. it has been a massive adventure.
the errors above are due to remnants of old files from merges that were not undone properly. deleted the devices source and recreated it again. problems are now gone will update on outcome.
I still can not seem to get it completely built. Max Image.gz-dtb file size is 28.5MB so far. and the highest I have gotten. still get VMLINUX issues which tells me just maybe Xiaomi themselves have not updated the build scripts to suite the latest CAF changes.
All speculation at the moment.

Turns out, build config for CC9 Pro. does not exist hence why all the problems Using AOSP's.
I believe it needs to be full modified in order to work with Tucana, due to Xiaomi not releasing a build script for it. so another solution would be to modify or try and use another device on the list in the link to be able to build it. not even export using the Mi 9 works so I have to dig deeper on getting a config and build script for it.

The config does not build vmlinux, DTC properly, dtbo.img. Still working on it.
I also did try first doing the standalone export way. Just constantly getting ld error --fix-something and to fix it, by using CC=clang and HOSTCC=gcc
but then you resort to having to use the build.config file. for some reason the standalone export method just does not work with cc and hostcc
and that is using the QQ LLVM/clang 8.0 toolchain with AOSP's GCC while having 2 directories. toolchain(GCC) and toolchains(QQ-LLVM/Clang) with QQ-llvm/clang's build directory inside the devices source root directory as well, according to MiCode Wiki under MSM-4.14.
Tried attaching the last make command to the DTC_EXT= and it fails, still unable to find the build kernel argument to change the command manually. Only have POST_KERNEL_BUILD
No luck at all with the export combo.
As for the build.config.
I get a build using AOSP'S GCC and QQ-LLVM/CLANG 8.0
But it is not complete.
I also use the build, prebuilts, prebuilts-master from AOSP's 4.14 Common kernel repo.
the reason for this, is because Xiaomi have not released kernel build files for the device. from what I have found.
Hey, does anyone know how to get the propietary blobs out of the device? I'm kinda done with MIUI and i wanna try to compile some custom rom and maybe a legit twrp.

Trying to look for the Chinese tool to flash the unofficial TWRP, once I manage to do that will try help on grabbing those needed proprietary blobs. May need guide on how to pull the blobs, am still a noob

Me too... TWRP is tricky, since it can only be done by this OneInject-function of TWRP, but it's possible. I tried the 'current' unofficial release of TWRP for this, but all i got was a reboot to BL.

yshalsager, who created the Firmware-script, told me the same.. here is his answer.

Hi,
Thanks for your words, glad to hear my work helps.
You can use LineageOS extract files script that will generate vendor tree for you. It is available in any device tree but you should use one of your device so it reads from its proprietary-files.txt or something.
"
Maybe LOS is closer than we think.

hey, i'm trying it right now... was able to manage a device tree from the latest weekly of the EU-rom. Repo is syncing right now for the aosp-twrp-11 repository.
U used the same script for the recovery trees?

I'm a total beginner, so i might be wrong. But as far as i can tell, the makefiles of the extracted device tree need to be update or even completely rebuild.
Hi, it seems like I was able to execute the script successfully.
It didn't work on Windows because it got stuck on the execution of unpackimg.bat.
I ran it on Linux and it worked (after chmod 777 of boot.img). This is the command I ran:
python3 -m twrpdtgen -o ./odin ./boot.img
output:
Code:
TWRP device tree generator
Version 1.3.0
[INFO] Cloning AIK...
Done! You can find the device tree in odin/xiaomi/odin
I took boot.img from the latest MIUI 12.5.7.0 China Stable
Now I have what it seems to be the device tree (odin.zip) but I don't know what to do it it or what it is.

This is great, so we know this script works and does what it is supposed to do...
I checked the makefiles to see if there are any differences, but there are none. So it suggests that it doesn't matter, from which version you get the files from. I love, that the users of the Mi Mix 4 are more open so compiling than the community of the MI 11 Ultra is..

I'm trying to replicate your steps but I get the same "Can not locate config makefile for product "twrp_odin"." as you did above. In the other topic I see you managed to get past that step.
I see you get some output after executing envsetup.sh and it seems like this is related to the device tree.
Can you please share what you did with the device tree before attempting to compile twrp? I'd like to try myself but I can't find clear instructions.

Acutally i left it completely unchanged, the only thing i did was to change the repository. I deleted the aosp-repository and took the omni-twrp-repository
(https://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_omni)
mkdir twrp
cd twrp
repo init -u git://github.com/minimal-manifest-twrp/platform_manifest_twrp_omni.git -b twrp-10.0
repo sync
after syncing was complete, i followed these instructions

Thanks! Now I managed to get the same result as you. The error seems to be raised by mkbootimg.py:
Python:
def write_header(args):
BOOT_IMAGE_HEADER_V1_SIZE = 1648
BOOT_IMAGE_HEADER_V2_SIZE = 1660
BOOT_MAGIC = 'ANDROID!'.encode()
if (args.header_version > 2):
raise ValueError('Boot header version %d not supported' % args.header_version)
To me it seems like this Omni repo includes old version of mkbootimg.py, because in the google repos I can see that the current version of this function looks like this:
Python:
def write_header(args):
if args.header_version > 4:
raise ValueError(
f'Boot header version {args.header_version} not supported')
if args.header_version in {3, 4}:
return write_header_v3_and_above(args)
It seems like Boot header version 3 was introduced with Android 11: https://source.android.com/devices/bootloader/boot-image-header
I think we can't do much with the Omnia repos until they get updated with current mkbootimg.

My question is, do the makefiles from the devicetree need to be adjusted or completely rebuild to android 11 parameters? I.e. rhe command "add_lunch_combo" is obsolete and "COMMAND_LUNCH_CHOICES" took its place..
Sorry in advance for this nooby questions...
