Root [Boost Mobile] For Discussion of Development for CM7 Only

[JBrd400]

on which installer script? that is important

Used the "cm7 based rom installer" script.

Edit: Maybe I misunderstood. I just tried with the default installer and just appended the entries you mentioned. "ls" works fine now.

Holy crap, I got telephone to work, problem is I made so many changes I don't know what did it. It also doesn't work the first minute after boot. Anyways I copied the /lib folder from my /system dump into the prebuilt. Also copied files to the /etc, but only the files that were a different size. And then I used the system.prop from quietstorm's cwm sources. I was able to make calls and "Boost Mobile" showed up as the carrier in the notifications pull down. I'll clean out my source and find exact reason it started working

Edit:
I still can't find the specific reason, it can't find the baseband, some reason su keeps force closing. Anyways there is alot of work here

can you make an nandroid of that ROM

 

[Deleted User]

Yep
i'll just post it.
Warning! This is for development only. Do not download.

Sorry, had to put that in there since i can't pm you
anyways here's the link, Ril starts up atleast a min after booting all the way up, no 3g, and it doesn't show any signal, but i was able to make calls. *nandroid form as requested*
PM me if you want the build zip

I have tried to compile it from hroark's source (fork'd it), didn't work. I removed liboemcamera, made that one line = true in boardconfig.mk, recompiled it, didn't work. I then downloaded arthur-3-30-13.zip and overrode the files from the device folder with the ones in that zip, recompiled it, and it didn't work.. I'm not sure what to do at this point. The output is generally like this, with more or less /build/core/* warnings at the beginning

Delete libaudio folder also, or delete the whole directory and unzip the arthur source

:c

edit: I'll just try your second suggestion.. by arthur source you mean download hroark's repo in zip format or arthur-3-30-13.zip?

 

[JBrd400]

I was getting the same thing. Hroark zipped up my current arthur folder and copied the folder containing his 3-30 source in there and renamed it arthur. That got me past all the shared library errors I was getting.

 

[Snake X]

so which one is it now.. im confused

u mentioned 3-30 sources but also said renamed to arthur :s

 

[JBrd400]

Copy the 3-30 version of his source to ./device/zte/arthur.

But remove the existing arthur folder first. Either zip it up or delete it as downthemachine suggested.

 

[Deleted User]

Arthur-3-30

 

[Snake X]

make: *** No rule to make target `vendor/cyanogen/proprietary/RomManager.apk', needed by `out/target/product/arthur/system/app/RomManager.apk'. Stop.

..Only if the app worked too..

So yeah, I needs teh rom manager

edit: I may have found it.. the one I need.. sec

edit 2: Yeah I got it.. thanks every1

 

[Snake X]

Well this is new.. when I tried to install via cwm I get"

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "
ro.build.product") == "arthur" || getprop("ro.pr
thur"
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-nightly-signed.zip

(I broke the lines up according to what it looked like on the screen)

 

[Deleted User]

Just remove the first two lines of the updated script, I think the system.prop is where you actually fix the issue, but I don't remember

 

[JBrd400]

Are you still using Quietstorm's version of CWM?

 

[Snake X]

first 2 lines of system.prop:

rild.libpath=/system/lib/libril-qc-1.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/smd0

Those?

 

[Deleted User]

No the update script, the one in the outputted zip from the build. I changed the system.prop to match the warp's build.prop. Those are two different things

 

[Snake X]

Ok I'll ahve to check it out later.. thanks though, Ill let you know if it worked or not

so as far as the radio goes, is it possible that cm7 is not mounting the radio partition correctly, or not copying the drivers correctly, now i managed to get the telephony to work, no data though, and it doesn't correctly see the baseband, which makes me think either the radio partition is not getting called at the correct point. i have printouts of all the init files and the files they call for partitions and scripts. i'll have to boot into the last build i made and make the same printouts and compare the files, maybe there is something getting missed? on the other hand, i thought that the files in /prebuilt , were just getting copied to the build. can anyone else confirm?

 

[JBrd400]

I can't really help much as far as the radio stuff goes. I've been doing my own builds and even tried yours and can't see much difference as far as the logs go. (though the phone at least works with yours) So I'm really at a loss as far as troubleshooting this stuff goes. Anyway, I believe that files in prebuilt are not copied to the ROM unless you specify to do so in device_arthur.mk.

 

[bads3ctor]

If you are compiling CM7 from source, you have to have a .mk file that tells the cyanogenmod build environment what files you want and the paths to where you want them to go.

An example from my ICS Intercept build .mk file:

PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
device/samsung/intercept/prebuilt/intercept/hw/copybit.SPH-M910.so:system/lib/hw/copybit.SPH-M910.so \
device/samsung/intercept/prebuilt/intercept/hw/gralloc.SPH-M910.so:system/lib/hw/gralloc.SPH-M910.so \
device/samsung/intercept/prebuilt/intercept/hw/lights.SPH-M910.so:system/lib/hw/lights.SPH-M910.so \
device/samsung/intercept/prebuilt/intercept/hw/sensors.SPH-M910.so:system/lib/hw/sensors.SPH-M910.so

It's not mounting the radio stuff in ueventd.rc well in winmerge there is alot that's not done, also init.qcom.sh is completely missing which makes calls to ril(radio layer interface)

 

[JBrd400]

I did add the missing init scripts, but never considered ueventd.rc. Depending on what's not loading, that could potentially cause a lot of problems. I'll look around and see what I can find.

Also, just a suggestion as far as editing device_arthur.mk if you didn't think of it already. It would be a good idea to create a new section in the file to do all your local file copies. That way it'll be easy to differentiate between hroark's source and any changes you make.

 

[Deleted User]

Ueventd.rc is the first thing called in the init.rc
I'll add that to the mk file tomorrow. Got to work in the morning

 

[JBrd400]

The ueventd files are part of the ramdisk so they shouldn't really need to be copied manually. I looked in /dev on my build and see the vast majority of the stuff specified in ueventd.rc so I'm not sure what to think. Anyway, it'll be there for you tomorrow.
