I know I'm not a recognized developer but I would like to learn.
I am trying to make an NC6 base rom from a system dump of a friend of mine that has a Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T which is the triband version.
He got the dump and I have it now.
I mounted it and extracted everything then put it in a flashable zip for the Sprint Galaxy s4.
I haven't removed anything and have only deodexed it.
When my friend flashes it everything seems good except for the fact that it never registers on the sprint network. I'm not sure what is going on
I'm hoping maybe somebody could shed some light on this for me.
All of the network settings are where they need to be.
Any help or idea would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You don't have to a recognized developer to post a question lol. as longs as its about development and not something else.
Since you are actually porting a rom from the SPH-L720T to the SCH-I545 you have to remind that you are actually changing the RIL (radio interface layer) blobs.
the CM11 builds that unified also have seperate blobs in it for all kinds of radios, and will install the right one in CWM.
My advice is to download "jflte" unified cm build, and investigate the /system/blobs folder usage, along with the updater-script
Code:
ifelse(is_substring("I337", getprop("ro.bootloader")), run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "busybox cp -R /system/blobs/gsm/* /system/"));
ifelse(is_substring("I545", getprop("ro.bootloader")), run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "busybox cp -R /system/blobs/cdma/* /system/"));
ifelse(is_substring("I545", getprop("ro.bootloader")), run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "busybox cp -R /system/blobs/vzw/* /system/"));
ifelse(is_substring("L720", getprop("ro.bootloader")), run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "busybox cp -R /system/blobs/cdma/* /system/"));
ifelse(is_substring("M919", getprop("ro.bootloader")), run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "busybox cp -R /system/blobs/gsm/* /system/"));
ifelse(is_substring("R970", getprop("ro.bootloader")), run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "busybox cp -R /system/blobs/cdma/* /system/"));
ifelse(is_substring("I9505", getprop("ro.bootloader")), run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "busybox cp -R /system/blobs/gsm/* /system/"));
ifelse(is_substring("I9507", getprop("ro.bootloader")), run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "busybox cp -R /system/blobs/gsm/* /system/"));
ifelse(is_substring("I9508", getprop("ro.bootloader")), run_program("/sbin/sh", "-c", "busybox cp -R /system/blobs/gsm/* /system/"));
so adding this "blobs" folder to /system + adding the script above in the updater-script would theoretically fix the problem.
Thanks for the info! Will definitely keep that piece of info noted.
But I should have been more clear. Sorry.
I am not porting the rom.
I posted this in the Sprint forums (first time I've actually noticed they cross over from board to board)
The NC6 build is for the SPH-L720T and nobody has made a stock base (surprisingly) for this triband device.
A friend of mine kind of talked me into it.lol
So I am only trying to get a stock deodexed flashable base rom to work properly before I begin making some changes of my own.
Like I said before it should be pretty simple to make a twrp/cwm flashable zip from a system.img dump for the very same device you are creating the rom.zip for.
But for whatever reason it only "prepares for network" and it never completes so no calls,text, or data.
Thanks for your time and response.

Used the deodexer found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52074606
And logcat slipped my mind for some reason.
I will have him an odex rom and get a logcat.
I figure if the odex rom works something is wrong with the deodexer
Thanks.

Thanks. My friend should be testing it tonight I believe.
I will check out archikitchen in the meantime.
Would you recommend a specific version of just the latest will suffice?
Also if I wish to keep symlinks intact I would probably need to do all the work within Linux, correct?
Now that you mention it, there is a high possibility/probability that I missed a symlink or a few.
Thanks for the advice.
Will update when we do more tests.

Yes I suggested that because when making a stock 4.4.2 rom for the Sprint S3, I ran into the same issue with RIL not working
Turned out to be some missing modem firmware symlinks that archikitchen found and all was good after that
dsixda's android kitchen has not been updated for kitkat. I would use archikitchen as suggested.
I would look here as well. Even though this thread is for the S3, much of the info still applies.

If your N6 base is not Sprint firmware, the first thing I would do is add the Sprint APN.

+1 on ArchiKitchen. He does real good work on it.
Only downside tho, it only runs on linux. So either need to install linux or he has a great tut videofor settings up debian in a vm. Some have got it to work with Cygwin but not recommended and not supported
Thanks guys. I actually found archikitchen to be easier to work with than android kitchen.
It did find several symlinks that I didn't notice or got lost in my other tests.
I have my base rom done and is uploading so maybe my friend can test this tomorrow sometime I hope.
Thanks for all the great information guys.
I will definitely let you know how it goes and give each of you the credit that is due once this does get released.

Sounds great. Everytime I believe I'm done I think of something else I need to change.
I already have the read/write extSdCard fixed.
I know the mobile data toggle is missing so I will be adding that in also.
What are the most common mods most people do?
I want to try and keep this a stock rom with the most common mods already baked in.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Don't put common mods in and make like every other custom ROM out there, try and find a unique angle and do something different..
couldn't agree more.
I wholeheartedly agree! I love a variety of roms.
But I do not own the Sprint TriBand S4 only the Verizon S4.
If I did I would absolutely be trying something different and making is standout as much as possible.

Here is a ROM which has a very alpha and proof of concept working camera in CM9 ICS. It crashes a lot too (as expected). The ROM is based on CM9 and is a mini ROM with very basic apps and the required camera stuff. It should work fine with stock HBOOT, as it is pretty small. The ROM is just a vehicle for showcasing this work. It is not meant to be a replacement ROM of any sort.
http://www.mediafire.com/?d71119l3liv9iq3
Here is another zip file which has just the camera related stuff, that people can use in their ROMs (new/existing).
http://www.mediafire.com/?udyqa0aggncqobv
The boot.img has a modified ramdisk to allow the Camera HAL to work properly.
What works:
1) Preview - Trust me this is a big deal
2) Take picture
3) Flash enable/disable.
What does not work:
Everything else like video recording and other fancy stuff.
I have spent a lot of time on the internet and IRC, trying to find the sources for nexus one's libcamera.so used in CM7, but have not been able to. If someone knows the whereabouts, please send me the link. It would be really useful.
With out the proper sources, I had to spend a lot of time reversing the CM7 libcamera.so to match with the sources from code aurora and code for other devices and modify/build stuff to get to this point.
Credits are due to everyone involved in CM and whose code is included.
Enjoy!!
Nice work!
If you add this one with a (nearly) stable build like the texasice one (maybe a parallel build), it will be enough for me as a daily use

I can try to build another ROM. There are many variants with different HBOOTs etc., which is the one you would like to have?
With the other zip file I posted, you can do this very easily yourself. All you need to do is push the files using adb or copy using some file explorer from your sd card after putting it in there. The details of where the files need to go is in the README file as part of the zip.
thanks bro, i try it and using in the rom

To be honest, I don't care, I'm not afraid to use a custom hboot, since they work.
Dont know why this don't work on texasicss rom. Can you look ?
Hi Texasice,
The only changes are these extra lines in the init.rc file, but it is absolutely required for camera to work without additional commands on every boot,
# Add permissions for camera access
chmod 0666 /dev/msm_camera/config0
chmod 0666 /dev/msm_camera/control0
chmod 0666 /dev/msm_camera/frame0
chmod 0666 /dev/graphics/fb0
So, if you add these to your ramdisk, then no need to flash my boot.img.
Thanks.

You will need the ramdisk changes and hence the boot.img
Or, if you are okay with command line, after reboot, before using the camera app, run these
adb shell
su
chmod 0666 /dev/msm_camera/config0
chmod 0666 /dev/msm_camera/control0
chmod 0666 /dev/msm_camera/frame0
chmod 0666 /dev/graphics/fb0
Thanks.
No WiFi now
HI i flashed this camera mod over texasice's ICS rom and the camera works beautifully but now wifi will not turn on. before modded it wifi was fine now nothing. Any thoughts, ideas, or anyone else having this problem?

I am assuming you also flashed the boot.img and so most likely the wifi module is not compatible with the kernel. texasice is building a new boot.img with the ramdisk changes I posted in the previous comments. Until he builds a new one, you can get both camera and wifi, if you are willing to run the chmod commands by hand after every boot. You will have to flash the boot.img from texasices's ROM again or reflash the update.zip if you are using clockwork recovery. Another method is to use the wifi module from the update-ics-cam.zip file I posted.

Be rooted. Have a computer with adb working, or do this from an android terminal emulator. The instructions are for adb.
The applypatch commands are going to have [] around them to show you what to put, but we not used in the actualy script.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
adb shell
su
cd sdcard-ext
applypatch [Original Boot.img] [Desired Name of new Boot.img] [A] [B] [C]:[boot.img.p]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A = Desired Boot.img's Sha-1 sum
B = Size (in bytes) of the desired boot.img
C = Original Boot.img's Sha-1sum
Looking at the updater-script you can see this line of code or something similar for applying the boot.img.p to the phone's boot.img.
You need this as a reference for the SHA-1 sums of the patch and boot.img and desired final boot.img.
//Reference script\\
Code:
assert(apply_patch("MTD:boot:[B]:[C]:[B]:[A]",
"-", [A], [B],
[C], package_extract_file("patch/boot.img.p")));
//Actual script\\
Code:
assert(apply_patch("MTD:boot:8388608:fe086e1f547082c3cf2a5f65dacb81fd232ecd89:8388608:4a7070c32d0312aa48e52e207c7932434bc46cb1",
"-", 4a7070c32d0312aa48e52e207c7932434bc46cb1, 8388608,
fe086e1f547082c3cf2a5f65dacb81fd232ecd89, package_extract_file("patch/boot.img.p")));
Actual commands used to patch D4 .219 fastboot file boot.img with D4 6.16.208 boot.img.p:

Thank you very much mattlgroff. Our Razr Dev section really need more tutorials as this one.
Excellent !
-- Edit --
Do you mind bringing us a Tutorial to port an ICS system app to make it work in another ICS?
Here's an example: SoundRecorder.app from a Motola GSM ICS leak to Retail.BR GSM ICS 4.0.4
This really worth a really cold beer.
BTW. I can provide you all the files you may need or follow a guide to make it work to upcoming Razr's ICS. I've tools to extract .img, DD's even an app compiler. But I get stuck in signing. framework-res.apk etc.
Reason: Some features are built in some ICS versions but not in others. There's more apps, like SIP native support wich are not present in most ICS 4.0.4. I've tried a few Tutorials, but they aren't that much noob Engineering friendly. lol
Thanks man

If no one who knows how can upgrade to that version. Here on the XT912 Verizon front, barely anyone is left on GB who can help us with this. This way I can pull a leak and flash it within minutes with no external help.
What I am doing wrong? It doesnt work. I get always an error:
"bootxxx.img" is already target; no patch needed.
I did everything like described in the OP.
Edit: My fault. Want to update an older boot.img to the newer one using the boot.img.p, but it doesn't work.

Hi guys, is there any way to let the patch install with any SHA for the currently installed boot.img ? Magisk messes it up so OTA updates cannot work
Hey,
So a few months ago, I installed either an older version of Busybox, or the newer version I installed never stuck. Basically, I have two folders that contain the busybox commands: /sbin and /system/xbin. In Terminal Emu., when I enter a Busybox command, it seems to only acknowledge the older folder (/sbin). eg if I type in "busybox ifconfig..." or "busybox ipconfig...." I'm told that there's no such command, in so many words. How do I go about fixing this?
Would it mess anything up if I moved the contents of the newer folder (/system/xbin) into /sbin ?
Also, should there be a busybox file located anywhere (ie a file in root that's executed when "busybox" is typed into Term. Emu?) I can only locate the one in the internal sdcard directory ("busybox-stericon")
Thanks

All files in /sbin are part of the kernel. Changes to this folder will be lost after a reboot. The only busybox you need is the one in sbin. It will be run when you type commands in terminal. Any other busybox should be deleted to avoid conflicts

and I'll assume, then, that copying over the files from /system/xbin to /sbin won't cause any conflicts, since the files in sbin are like a subset of /system/xbin. thanks a bunch!
edit: blerg. apparently, I just learned to read. changes to /sbin will be lost
is there anyway that you're aware of to modify that folder? sbin's is missing a few useful commands eg ifconfig, iplink, etc

figures.
ok- so when you type in a busybox command (eg ifconfig), does it respond? Busybox, when installed, adds commands and links it when you type it in in the terminal, so, I suppose my follow up question is - how do i re-link the commands to the proper path?
on second thought, this problem may have occurred roughly when I flashed paranoid android, reverted (no camera=not a daily driver) and re-flashed Entropy's kernel. additionally, root in terminal emulator, ever since, has shown "sh-3.2$" at the prompt. (PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH)
for some reason, I'm starting to think it wasn't always this way.
Hey guys,
Not sure if this would be helpful to anyone but I created a script for Mac/Linux that installs some of the mods. There is no way to undo the changes, and I have only done limited testing so YMMV.
I am not liable for anything that happens to your device.
With terminal just cd to the folder and do ./note2.script
The mods I have added so far are:
1) Google Wallet (I still haven't had any success)
2) All apps in MultiWindow
3) Wifi Icon in statusbar + black statusbar
4) 4.2 Camera/Gallery
V2. I have added a Windows batch as well as the Linux script
V3. Fixed some bugs, and added the 4.2 Camera/Gallery
http://www.filedropper.com/notescripts1
PS. Thanks to all those that created the mods. I did not create any, only put into a simple script.
This is actually useful, good job! Could probably do something like this to make/restore backups.

No I haven''t written one for Windows yet. I've been thinking about it but just haven't had the time. Was going to see what the feedback was with the Linux one first.
The Windows one should be very easy to write to mimick this one, you just have to change the directory paths and stuff.

-a thread got started about wallet getting up and running here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031127 (I tried this to the letter and ultimately soft bricked my device)
-with help, I was able to odin back to a rooted device
-used this script to setup wallet and it did NOT work, HOWEVER, using this and then going back to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031127 to use the fix, I think, did. I have added all my cards and am ready to make a purchase, which I will do tomorrow.
So to sum up, don't give up and be creative, if someone says they got it working and you didn't explore more and try to mesh multiple approaches where it fits. I'm only posting this to A. give thanks to those that got this working, and B. give others hope :good:

Hey guys,
Not sure if this would be helpful to anyone but I created a script for Mac/Linux that installs some of the mods. There is no way to undo the changes, and I have only done limited testing so YMMV.
I am not liable for anything that happens to your device.
With terminal just cd to the folder and do ./note2.script
The mods I have added so far are:
1) Google Wallet (I still haven't had any success)
2) All apps in MultiWindow
3) Wifi Icon in statusbar + black statusbar
V2. I have added a Windows batch as well as the Linux script
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzXlT5Noap2PdllGYTVxVlp2MUU
PS. Thanks to all those that created the mods. I did not create any, only put into a simple script.

How do I go about using the one for wallet?
Tap'n
I'm not the expert here, but I'll give this a stab, make sure you have ADB setup, download this script and run it. If you get wallet to run, but then close or just keep spinning, trying to run, go to the other wallet thread in this forum and use the fix on page 1. that's what worked for me.

Check like 27 in note2.sh
Code:
adb shell "su -c 'mount -o rw,remount /system'"
if [ "$input" = "1" ]; then
walletzip=NoteII-lib_nfc-fix-r87
walletloc=/sdcard/Note2Scripts/Wallet
copytoloc=/system
adb shell "mkdir -p $walletloc"
adb shell "mkdir -p $copytoloc/app"
adb shell "mkdir -p $copytoloc/lib"
adb shell "mkdir -p $copytoloc/lib/hw"
> adb shell "mkdir -p $copytoloc//etc"
adb push $walletzip $walletloc
You have an extra forward slash.

Thank you for that. I will fix that, also I have added the 4.2 gallery so I will upload that shortly. Also I am going to remove Nfc.apk and NfcTest.apk from the wallet script as I have heard they are not needed.
I uploaded a newer version.
Fixed the //etc bug, and added the 4.2 Camera/Gallery

I fixed the link to a different file hoster. If anyone has some where better let me know.
The windows batch file didn't work, doesn't look like it did anything. I copied systemui manually and set permissions but when I rebooted I lost my UI!

When you ran it did it give you the options of which script to run? Which did you select?

Yes. I ran the option for modifying wifi, I saw it start up ADB but then the window just closed. I then copied systemui.apk over using root explorer and set the permissions but when I rebooted I lost the UI lol.
does this 'add' the 4.2 camera or replace the current one

It adds it. You will have both afterwards.

I have the same problem. The window just closes and doesn't do anything. I know we're doing something wrong. But what?

Can any console-ninja verify?
Anyone who has ever done could mount a video tutorial for the layman like me. thank you
it took me a little time to compile it (since i cannot read everything on the website, perhaps there is a precompiled binary) but after that i think i got temporary root
Code:
[0|08:40|[email protected]|~/android_run_root_shell/libs/armeabi>
$ adb push run_root_shell /data/local/tmp
[0|08:40|[email protected]|~/android_run_root_shell/libs/armeabi>
$ adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ cd /data/local/tmp
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ id
uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ ./run_root_shell
failed to open /dev/diag due to No such file or directory.
Attempt perf_swevent exploit...
writing address is 8e09
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp # id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
so i got temporary root...with that i could remount the system partition, copy busybox and su to /system/xbin and Superuser.apk to /system/app, so i guess i am rooted again, thanks for the nice work!
if anyone wants i can create a zip with all needed files and a linux bash file for installing.

Yes, I want - and I think many other users also.
It would be nice if you would provide the needed files. Maybe you can describe in short words what you exactly did.
Posted the procedure and link to files in english

i posted a zip package below jumper62s post*, which contains all needed files and a little readme file, which explains what to do, since he didn't post any binaries and you have to compile this stuff before you can use it, i guess it's kind of useful for a lot of people out there.....but it could be that i have to delete it, if he wants me to

Thank you so much - it works! :good:
I just rooted my Sony Tablet with Android 4.0.3 R5A
I justed wanted to tell it here also - I think it's better to continue the following discussion in the other (linked) thread.
