[DIS][DEV]Android Kernel and Rom Modding for GT-P52xx - Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 Android Development

For the last 2 weeks, a few of us has been working on a project of modding p52XX kernel here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=59379382#post59379382
However, as we are getting off topic and involving more other project including modding custom rom with kernel, unbricking etc, so suggested by our senior member @r2d23cpo , I've created a new thread that only discussing about the project that we are going on.

@r2d23cpo @Daniel-TAz00 , @Max4000 here we go, lets continue our discussion here...
I know I Mention CM10.1. Please be aware there in no Official Working Cianogenmod for our device, the most we have is Angel_666 work. I had taken a lot of work to get where hi is at.
For know I suggest you not to get involved in CM10.1. I have bad Internet, It took me 1 moth just to downlond ripos and patches just to see it compile boot and recovery images. It does not produce a working system.img.
Now what I try to say before is that a 4.2.2 CM10.1 boot & recovery images had make my life more easier. At least that is my impression. Just give me some time I will post the images I use. Then you can place your Kernel on it.

@r2d23cpo yeap, i can see that there is very limited resources for CM 1x going on. so i think i will try to do R&D on it, hopefully i can get to finish it before may (my university intake). I think before i can get a working CM, I will try to use stock boot.img and hopefully it works. I downloaded all version of source code that i can get on opensourcesamsung and hopefully i can get something working out if it.
some time ago I wrote a thread called, SGT3 10.1 Rom Developing by learning developers => http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2643970. This is a suggestion, just to keep on good xda standing. Wait for you answer

Your thread contain a tones of useful information hopefully it can benefits those who need it. I have seen people complaining ( Including my self) that p52xx series have limited developers, so i thought of being one my self, start up some active project and keep this device running.

Nice!
Ok guys @r2d23cpo @Daniel-TAz00 , @Max4000 lets have fun here.
First I know I mention twice 4.2.2 - CM10.1 and there is a reason, No Selinux Files in boot nor recovery images! That makes me happy.
But lets be clear, Cianogenmod for Tab3 10.1 is like a Dog witching to received a fillet.! The only prove of concepts has been made by Angel_666 in his thread [Development][Source]CyanogenMod 11 for SGT-3 10.1 by Angel_666 => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633554. Thanks Angel and all that help him for those long days of work.
Now there are many thread in AOSP or Cianogenmod for TAB3 10.1. with time all got forgotten. So, Do not waist your time for now on that road to hell.
I my self burn out 1 moth some time ago on 4.2.2 CM10.1 , and I only got to compile a none working firmware. But It produce boot.img and recovery.img. Now This files are in fact worthless by them self. boot.img will not boot to a system and the recovery has issues with lag response. So Why then did I mention it. Because there is NO SELinux on them. That makes those files the perfect TEST Sandbox to try new things. So without more explanation I am attaching the files I build. I am attaching them here in update.zip form for easily installation. Be aware they are build for GT_P5210. But guess what, if you used them for testing, it do not matters because they in fact incomplete.
Code:
CM10.1_boot.zip 12.6 MB
h__ps://mega.co.nz/#!HkJVCDxK!wzKnciQx50QkIbe65-3l-DtfCy0lavoKRw4tUY2wGDA
CM10.1_boot.zip 12.6 MB
h__ps://mega.co.nz/#!HkJVCDxK!wzKnciQx50QkIbe65-3l-DtfCy0lavoKRw4tUY2wGDA
So forget to dedicate time in CM R&D. It is useless for now. Well that is not true. It may be possible to take Angels CM11 tree and modified it to meet CM10.1. Who knows it may work!. But believe me it takes a lot of time to paste all patches and correct all compilation error just to get a final CM compilation for x86!!! I had warned you.
Now I do not know if you have realized, I know all this not because I am Senior. I am not, I am just a newbee like you. But I was playing with kernel/initramfs in
[DEVELOPMENT]TAB310.1-Run a Linux distro natively ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/general/development-tab310-1-run-linux-distro-t3008521
But I got sick and now I will continue my work. It is just clearly related to what you are trying to do.

@r2d23cpo actually everyone make their own ways to become a good developer or a senior. I my self did the same thing, asked a lot of questions, brick my device unlimited times. And now I can pick up easily.

Actually you are right, after i summit this thread, i have googled for resources a while now and i gave up on it because there is too much problems going on. So now i just wanna try to mod my boot.img that i got from sammobile.com and try to flash it to enable wifi dongle support.
@Daniel-TAz00 , Can you try to compile a kernel that based on stock rom? I noticed there is a lot people who prefer stock rom on this device.

can anyone help me out here?

The boot.img I made should work for stock roms aswell.
Anyway, back last year when I built my kernel, I took a bunch of notes with the idea of writing a detailed android kernel tutorial. It's not at all done, but contain a bunch of specific GT-P52xx info.
Here are my notes on compiling the GT-P5210 kernel: http://drebsdorf.net/content/samsung_gt3/KernelHowTo.html
*Crossposting*
Getting the proper monitor mode broadcom drivers should be possible, which broadcom chip do we have tho?
https://code.google.com/p/bcmon/source/browse/trunk/#trunk/bcm4329/driver/src/bcm4329
Anyone know which is the latest kernel source file? (i could surely compile for the P5200 aswell)
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=GT-P5210
I suspect its: GT-P5210_EUR_KK_Opensource.zip (I will get the sources for the other versions of the tablet aswell)

I used the SEA KK version instead of EUR since I got my device from singapore. I got stuck in broadcom.* error while compiling the kernel, and its alright after i disabled it in menuconfig.

Ello, what are you up to? You compiled .... something
You might want to remove -Werror flags from the makefile, otherwise default option is to exit on compile warnings

oh ~ for that make ARCH=i386 android_santos10_open_r00_user_defconfig i thought was a process of generating config. because i saw somewhere that i have to run it first, but i lost the link though.
Never mind, I was in confused and i figured it out...
Code:
#Create Boot.img
Now I copied the boot.img to /home/android/WRKDIR_BOOT/ from the P5210UEUAMI8.zip rom we found on XDA (by Mod57)
cd /home/android/WRKDIR_BOOT/
unmkbootimg -i boot.img
This will extract the boot.img into its parts.
It also will spit out the command you need to rebuild the image, save that for later.
Copy /home/android/WRKDIR_KRLSRC/arch/x86/bzImage to /home/android/WRKDIR_BOOT/bzImage
Change the parameters of the rebuild command you saved and change
--kernel bzImage
--ramdisk ramdisk.cpio.gz
-o boot-MI8.img
ex. (PLESE DO NOT USE, this is an example cmd, your offsets may vary, unless you need bricks for a house , I cant recommend it.)
To rebuild this boot image, you can use the command:
mkbootimg --base 0 --pagesize 2048 --kernel_offset 0x10008000 --ramdisk_offset 0x11000000 --second_offset 0x10f00000 --tags_offset 0x10000100 --cmdline 'init=/init pci=noearly console=ttyS0 console=logk0 earlyprintk=nologger loglevel=4 hsu_dma=7 kmemleak=off androidboot.bootmedia=sdcard androidboot.hardware=santos10wifi androidboot.spid=xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx androidboot.serialno=01234567890123456789012345678901 ip=50.0.0.2:50.0.0.1::255.255.255.0::usb0:on vmalloc=172M' --kernel bzImage --ramdisk ramdisk.cpio.gz -o boot-MI8.img
@Daniel-TAz00 one question, can i just use other tool to pack like this one in the attachment? I like to use it as it has a gui.

Looks like it might be able to. I don't for sure though

I had little time, and the little time I had I used answering post.
One thing regards building kernel I will start posting only here for now on.
I did answer to Daniel-TAz00 on what I think is wifi driver ,type bcmdhd or dhd.ko. see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59404794&postcount=37
I saw the issue with fastboot and answered by @moonbutt74. Yes no fastboot for MOSTSamsung devices.
I like moonbutt74
Code:
#!/bin/bash
/<$NDK-TOP>/build/tools/./make-standalone-toolchain.sh --ndk-dir=/<$NDK-TOP> --system=linux-x86 --toolchain=[COLOR="Red"]x86-4.8[/COLOR] --platform=android-17 --install-dir=/opt//toolchains/NDK-x86-4.8-JB
but never tested. I just point to where I have my NDK toolchain. But that previous option should be better. Now I have always tell moonbutt74 that I disagree in using gcc4.8. If you Open README_Kernel.txt you will see that their instructions point to gcc4.6
Code:
ex) CROSS_COMPILE ?= {your google aosp}/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/x86/[COLOR="Red"]i686-linux-android-4.6[/COLOR]/bin/i686-linux-android-
In fact I already said that to Jacker31 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59310924&postcount=2 where I explained you should in fact install ggc 4.6 in your Linux distribution so that the "MAKE" get maximun compatibility witch will end up in minimun errors!!!!!
In ubuntu this is done
Code:
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6 g++-4.6 gcc-4.6-multilib g++-4.6-multilib
sudo update-alternatives --remove-all gcc
sudo update-alternatives --remove-all g++
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 20
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.6 20
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cc cc /usr/bin/gcc 30
sudo update-alternatives --set cc /usr/bin/gcc
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/c++ c++ /usr/bin/g++ 30
sudo update-alternatives --set c++ /usr/bin/g++
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
sudo update-alternatives --config g++
Yes you Linux distribution will end up with a native 4.6 gcc witch is no the same as the NDK tool-chain you are suggested to use. I also suggested you install a Linix distribution with 32bit even if you have a 64bit!!! This is my personal opinion.
For example I can compile Kernel-GT-P5210_EUR_KK_Opensource without a single error just by adding
Edit Makefile
Code:
CROSS_COMPILE ?= /media/<user>/Ldata/bin/androidndk/toolchains/x86-4.6/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/i686-linux-android-
"/media/<user>/Ldata" this is just my DiskDrive
and execute
Code:
make ARCH=i386 android_santos10_open_r00_user_defconfig
make ARCH=i386 -j6
"-j6" is use to accelerate the process. Yes my devices is a Intel Core i7 witch in fact has 4 Physical Core but has 4 Virtual Cores thats a Total of 8 Cores, So by using "-j6" I dedicate 6 of my total 8 cores to the compilation. Taking about a 1/4 of the required time!.
This bring me to recall, are we going to use 4.2.2 instead of 4.4.2?

Please be ware that while working in Win7 you can lose the Permission and ownership!! Making the pack image to failed!!! when in fact if you had packed it in Android or Linux it will be ok. The same goes if you are working in Linux but the files are store in Fat32 or NTFS. So be aware of that.

Remember my thread with that some error occur during compiling kernel? the one you answered? that occur and prevent me from compiling even i flagged it to ignore warnings but it end up error. That's happen because i used the wrong gcc build. I have to use the exact build returned in readme_kernel to build it successfully.
One thing regards building kernel I will start posting only here for now on.

Hm...In my opinion, we should just forget about broadcom drivers as the wifi adapters is not as powerful as TL-w772n or that ALFA adapters. In fact most people who wish to use aircrack have either tplink or ALFA, unless they have something else.

Thanks for that, I have totally forgotten about AIK .
"-j6" is use to accelerate the process. Yes my devices is a Intel Core i7 witch in fact has 4 Physical Core but has 4 Virtual Cores thats a Total of 8 Cores, So by using "-j6" I dedicate 6 of my total 8 cores to the compilation. Taking about a 1/4 of the required time!.

I am going to get a new i7 MSI laptop soon cant wait for it XD I cant really stand with my current 6yo hp laptop as it will overheat while using MSVs2012 or eclipse . Arrrh sometimes even in vmware. I only have 2 cores on my processors so i cannot actually put up 8 XD.

Hm...In my opinion, we should just forget about broadcom drivers as the wifi adapters is not as powerful with TL-w772n or that ALFA adapters. In fact most people who wish to use aircrack have either tplink or ALFA, unless they have something else.

Is this your anwer or somebody else?
Listen I has used this to ,monitor wifi channel used. Some time ago I found hacking to complicated and time consuming. Maybe wrong with todays version.
So to monitor wifi usage I do not need Alpha or any other router.
If you plan to buy a new laptop make yourself sure that the graphic adapter is linux compatible!11 For example,Tab3 is PowerVR witch is not Linux Friendly!1

thats my answer, just noticed i made typo mistake haha, agree, I like ATI graphic on my HP as it works with Kali and Ubuntu. But i am not sure that MSI i gotta buy (with nvidia) compatible with linux or not as i never heard from anyone before.
correction.
"Hm...In my opinion, we should just forget about broadcom drivers as the wifi adapters is not as powerful as TL-w772n or that ALFA adapters. In fact most people who wish to use aircrack have either tplink or ALFA, unless they have something else."
Hacking maybe time consuming and tired, but with correct usage, it can create fireworks. But people seems to take their knowledge of hacking and use it wrongly.

Unless Daniel-TAz00 objects, I will postpone TAB3 wifi's own driver mod for promiscuous. Please remember I have my own Kernel mod project [DEVELOPMENT]TAB310.1-Run a Linux distro natively ==> http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent-tab310-1-run-linux-distro-t3008521/page11 Now If you go there you see is almost a monologue, me , my ideas and some more of my work. From time to time I get a visit witch offer me great Ideas. But at this point is just Kernel development. That is why I am spending time here with you guys. I see interest in learning and developing. More of us more may gets done. My philosophy learn and spread the knowledge to others. And never forget I am just a newbee just like most of us.
So back to Android Kernel Modding for GT-P52xx.
To share with us you only need to setup your Linux building environment and download Samsung Open Source. I suggest we stick with JB 4.2.2, So for testing it will help if you backup your tablet using TWTP to a external SDCARD. I suggest install the original stock JB 4.2.2. And you can download "GT-P5210_SEA_JB_Opensource.zip" witch I think was the original. So you do that until you see that you can Compile your own Kernel. Then you are ready for some modifications. And join the group. If you need help just ask?
Androids Kernel is just an incomplete Linux kernel. So they share many thing. That means we should be able to go into Kernel. org or similar sites and read their info and try to apply it to us.
Linux Kernel Documentation Index ==> h__ps://www.kernel.org/doc/index-old.html
Menuconfig docs for Linux v3.0-rc7 ==> h__ps://www.kernel.org/doc/menuconfig/
arch/x86/Kconfig v3.0-rc7 ==> h__ps://www.kernel.org/doc/menuconfig/x86.html
Do not waist your MAIN time reading it. Just know you can get there to get info.
Now the main problem when we mod the kernel is that we get Samsung Screen and nothing more. So we need a way to debug the kernel and get info. So you can google debugging Kernel and find many resources.
Now Here is the tricky part. When you boot there is "kernel space" then "user space". You need to remember because kernel security will not allow you to get into kernel space from user space. A nice place to start is
Kernel Debugging Tips ==> h__p://elinux.org/Kernel_Debugging_Tips
And here is what I want to do next. Google eclipse debugging linux kernel. For example
h__p://issaris.blogspot.com/2007/12/download-linux-kernel-sourcecode-from.html
h__p://www.yonch.com/tech/84-debugging-the-linux-kernel-with-qemu-and-eclipse
Now clearly this methods are for Linux Distro like Ubuntu. But I think we can run Our Android and run Ubuntu or kali under chroot like you been doing. Install Eclipse on the tab. Then execute all this on my desktop using VNC ty to the linux on the TAB. And finally I hope to debug the kernel without installing it.
I hope this works.

I know working with the Kernel is fun!
But in reality what is what you want to add to it? What is your objective?

em there is a few objective of my point:
1) to spend my time on something useful,
2)for fun
3) tinkering around on my tab3 with kali linux and add in some usb driver.
4) discovering more ideas and maybe i can get started with another project.
