<uvos> tmlind: Wizzup: It has honeycomb installed. I was playing around with the preinstalled games and noticed most just force close and dont run, also the device isent clean theres a google account registerd and there are some pictures on it, so i went into recovery to reset it and that seamd to work... but once it rebooted it was still the same. wierd maybe the recovery is broken. So i did the mbm flashing thing and it seamed to
<uvos> work fine, when i was done i restored the mbm it started with (the one from 1.6.0) and that went fine too. Then i decided to upgrade it to VRZ_9.8.2OT (android 4.1) to have the latest kernel for kexecboot. i could not do it from android recovery because it just errors out with "no sdcard inserted" great but whatever. so i whent and flashed everything via fastboot boot system preinstall and so on and fasboot responds with OK
<uvos> every time an it looks like its working.
<uvos> so i reboot aaand.... is honycomb again. wtf? i try again. same thing. i try flashing VZ_7.7.1 (android 4.0), nothing changes. i try flashing just an empty logo.bin. that works but the logo dosent change. So i boot honycomb again and make a terrible discovery, the entire devce is read only, like i can take a picture with the camera and it will do its thing but the picture never appears. i can change device settings only for them
<uvos> to dissapear as soon as i navigate away.
<uvos> i cant say for sure that the mbm thing dident cause this, but the failure to factory suggests it did not. i think the flash chip in the deivce has entered some kind of safe mode due to a high error rate or something. I also think i dident truly test the xoom2 mbm bin since flashing mbm also has no effect its version never changes, sadly i wasent paying attention to this when doing the above.
<uvos> *failure to factory resett
<uvos> this might also explain why all the screws on the back are missing
<uvos> someone wanted to open this one up for repair maybe?
<uvos> im kind of impressed android manages to run perfectly fine with absolutly everything being read only
<uvos> ok i think i never changed mbm
<uvos> its version 0A.6C
<uvos> and mbm.bin vom VRZ_MZ609_1.6.0_279_CFC_1FF (ie honycomb) has this in the header
<uvos> and mbm bin VRZ_9.8.2OT_127_MZ609_CFC_1FF.xml and xoom2 allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin dose not.
<uvos> ok imanaged to get adb shell, i works if you dont navigate away form settings :P
<uvos> dmesg is full of [ 42.663024] mmcblk1: card err 0x80900
<uvos> ok so thats it
<uvos> flash chip on this one is dead :(

<Wizzup> uvos: argh
<uvos> Wizzup: really wierd that it failed like that :| but i have seen sdcards do the same thing.
<Wizzup> uvos: yeah, where they accept all writes but just drop them
<Wizzup> it is emmc thought right?
<uvos> yeah
<Wizzup> well, i have the other two here with me, was planning to give one to parazyd
<uvos> ok
<Wizzup> let me see if I can find another one online somehow
<uvos> do you want me to send it back? so that you have one for spares?
<uvos> battery/display etc
<Wizzup> don't think it's that useful rn, but if you want to get rid of it, then sure
<uvos> ok
<Wizzup> (also I won't be home for a while so don't send it to that addr :-))
<uvos> ok
<uvos> ill keep it around for now
<Wizzup> I guess emmc is typically bga so not easy to replace either
<uvos> yes
<uvos> not worth trying imo
<Wizzup> agreed
<uvos> also you would have to get mbm on there somehow
<Wizzup> there seem to be a bunch available online, but more expensive than what I paid for these
<Wizzup> mhm
<parazyd> Wizzup: Feel free to give the one for me to uvos
<parazyd> Maybe worth testing it before too
<uvos> side note
<uvos> why are we buying xyboards instead of xoom 2?
<uvos> afaik its the same device except no verizon branding
<uvos> and was sold in eu
<Wizzup> uvos: got a model number/link?
<Wizzup> I searched before and didn't really find that much
<uvos> MZ607
belcher_ is now known as belcher
<uvos> and yeah german ebay has none
<uvos> there are some MZ616 but at absurd prices
<uvos> thats the equivalent to the us 10 inch xyboard
<Wizzup> well, let me check the ones I have first, hope that they work
<Wizzup> uvos: I might have some time today to check, do you have some instructions for me? (It will take 2-3 hours before I am in a position to do anything)
<Wizzup> I can also ping you when I'm ready
<uvos> what do you want to try?
<uvos> i mean you can test the particular fault mine has by taking a picture and seeing if it saves it
<uvos> by enabling debug mode (settings->applications->debuging->usb debug) and entering adb shell from pc (with usb connnected to device) and checking dmesg for errors
<Wizzup> uvos: end goal being enabling leste with clownboot or similar
<uvos> no need for clown boot
<uvos> you can either check the mbm i linked some time ago
<uvos> and try and see if it allows flashing to utags
<uvos> if thats to risky for you, you have to upgrade the device to android 4 and then dd over the utags and kexecboot to the respective partitons
<uvos> but this is also risky because if it goes wrong you have no way of clearing utags
<uvos> (you have to root the device first for this to work too)
<uvos> also you have to build utags and kexecboot yourself
<uvos> because rn we have no images
<uvos> but tmlind allread has the needed changes on the repos
<Wizzup> well, sounds like ew need to start with extracting some information
<parazyd> Wiki will be down for a bit
<parazyd> About to start upgrading
<Wizzup> ty
<parazyd> Scary update process tbh
<parazyd> Luckily we use sqlite so a backup is just cp -ra
<parazyd> (I hope)

<Wizzup> uvos: also the procedure will help me with the droid3 that I brought
<parazyd> Looks ok? Except the logo is gone
<parazyd> dreamer: ^
<parazyd> ok logo was in a different dir. Now there.
<parazyd> Editing works
<uvos> Wizzup: not really the d3 dosent/cant use utagboot so procedure is totaly different
<Wizzup> uvos: ok, my intentions remain the same, but understood
<Wizzup> I general I hardly know much about android
<uvos> d3 has kinda a problem
<uvos> in that for clown boot you need a mainline kernel that works
<uvos> but to make/debug a mainline kernel you need clown boot
<Wizzup> oh like a chicken-egg problem
<Wizzup> mhm
<uvos> the bonic avoided this by booting the d4 kernel and mostly working like that (minus sensors and buttons)
<uvos> so you have to boot mainline via safestrap at first
<uvos> like leste did way back

<uvos> what is mmcblk0?
<uvos> emmc? sdcard?
<uvos> thats a kernel bug btw
<uvos> since its spamming false hotplug messages
<uvos> mighty17[m]: ^^^
Twiggy has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
<mighty17[m]> <uvos "what is mmcblk0?"> sdcard, the only thing for d4 was .img.xz
<mighty17[m]> i followed getting started of maemo
<uvos> right but that dosent mean that mmcblk0 is sdcard on your device
<uvos> if it is
<uvos> thats fine
<mighty17[m]> it is but it still shows pmOS initramfs somehow
<mighty17[m]> how do u build kernel for maemi
<mighty17[m]> maemo*
<uvos> for d4? just like a pc
<uvos> you get the kernel from kernel.org and build it
<uvos> yeah the initramfs needs to be gone
<uvos> wo dont use a initramfs
<uvos> just root=/dev/whatever in cmdline for root
<mighty17[m]> <uvos "just root=/dev/whatever in cmdli"> ohkay
<mighty17[m]> <uvos "you get the kernel from kernel.o"> just make right?
<mighty17[m]> and to put it in boot.img?
<buZz> mighty17[m]: those reply methods arent really useful ;)
<buZz> and quite spammy
<buZz> beside the advertizing you do for matrix.org at every line ;)
<mighty17[m]> oh damn :(
<mighty17[m]> sorry
<buZz> np, just saying
<uvos> i think the reply feature its fine
<uvos> but use it a bit less
<uvos> anyhow
<buZz> right, it just feels like 'i'm using it cause its a option' and not really motivated for aiding conversation
<uvos> yeah just use it when its needed to differentiate what you are replying to
<uvos> anyhow again
<mighty17[m]> oh well im more used to matrix, i'll try to use it less
<mighty17[m]> anyways back to boot.img
<uvos> mighty17[m]: you need a arm-linux-gnueabihf- toolchain
<uvos> your distro very likely provides this
<mighty17[m]> yup
<uvos> and then its "make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- omap2plus_defconfig modules omap4-droid4-xt894.dtb zImage -j16"
<mighty17[m]> export ARCH=arm and CROSS_COMPILE
<uvos> replace the dtb with yours ofc
<mighty17[m]> oh so just the zImage nice
<uvos> no
<uvos> so then you have the linux image
<uvos> you need to package this into boot.img
<uvos> this you do with mkbootimg
<uvos> which is something that is part of asop
<mighty17[m]> yup correct, even pmOS does it like this
<uvos> right
<uvos> but dont supply a initramfs
<mighty17[m]> but pmOS has its own downstream boot.img, here what am i supposed to use
<uvos> your own
<uvos> build your own
<mighty17[m]> i dont understand
inky has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
<uvos> with no initramfs and CONFIG_FORCE_CMDLINE (or so sorry dont know the exact name)
<uvos> set to something like this CMDLINE=console=tty0 debug earlycon ro rootwait rootfstype=ext4 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
<uvos> ofc replace the partition with where you have the rootfs
<uvos> and add the modules to the rootfs with "make ARCH=arm modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH="
<uvos> by mounting it on pc
<uvos> and idk how your bootloader supplies the dts
<uvos> that varies wildly
<mighty17[m]> yes cmdline is fine for now, using my defconfig
<uvos> some android phones have a seperate partion that you just dd the dtb to
<uvos> others have it appended to boot
<mighty17[m]> nope this is a normal device which appends to boot
<uvos> yeah so if you did all that
<uvos> then it should work
<uvos> maybe also go into the rootfs and rm /etc/fstab
<uvos> but it should work with it too if your sdcard is mmcblk0
<mighty17[m]> i still dont get, this wont generate a boot.img
<uvos> ?
<uvos> compile the kernel from the tree
<uvos> use mkbootimg to generate the image from the files that makes
<uvos> and then append the dts
<uvos> idk what the hangup is
<mighty17[m]> oh right yes yes
<uvos> after appening the dts install the modules to rootfs
<uvos> and then it should work
<mighty17[m]> ohk, thanks a lot!!
