[GUIDE] Revert to stock kernel + wifi mac fix

The wifi/mac bug gave some problems for me. I couln't connect to couple of AP due to mac restrictions. Futhermore htcsence.com didn't work anymore for me. I could no longer locate my phone with the site and my data didn't synced. I asume they have some kind of mac address check.
Since there isn't any method yet to fix the OC kernel wifi/mac bug i decided to change my kernel back to the stock one. Simply flashing the kernel did not fixed my wifi.
After a bit of searching i found the right files to fix this problem.
Download the attached file in this post. It contains the kernel from Gtrab and wifi driver from Evil-Z Z-Kernel.
Please use the attached file at your own risk!
Then simply follow the instructions based on Coolbho3000:
Boot into fastboot. Using the fastboot utility, run:
fastboot flash zimage kernel-DZ-1.34.405.5
reboot
adb push bcm4329.ko /sdcard/bcm4329.ko
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
cat /sdcard/bcm4329.ko > /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

Good luck with it

clever idea, congrats,
thanks for sharing
many users are stuck with that

Lol, this happened to me yesterday. Glad I had the n1 first, and was used to this sort of testing prior to posting up on the forums. I looked around a bit and didn't find anything, so I figured it out. Had I known I wasn't the only one, I definitely would have put something up.
Great info though man! I'm sure this will help a LOT of people.

How do you know if your MAC address is messed up? I can't connect to htcsense.com either other use HTC likes app saying it could not connect to server , I checked WiFi info and it seems my MAC address is not 11:22:33:44:55:66, I'm using visionary 0.6.1 ROM
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Your Wifi mac is messed up when it shows 00:11:22:33:44:55. I believe that the visionary rom doesn't has a OC kernel, but only a OC module. The module doesn't do anything with your mac address.

Ok thank you, any idea why I still can't use htcsense.com ? Or HTC likes ?

SGH-T989 System Dump (Odexed)

I have also mirrored this on my website, here.
I will have it deodexed here later tonight.

So, the dump would be useful if one needed to put the phone back to just the way it was out of the box, correct? One could use it with Odin to fix, say... a soft brick?

Ty for this!! this means what exactly? easier to root and set up for odin?????curious

once it deodexed... the real def fun begins as far as modding or cooking up personalized roms.
but we really need to get a modded kernel somehow and get root. that must be our main priority cuz nothing else matters without it. maybe someone has a trick up their sleeve... i hope.

Awesome........ now the ball gets rolling

Ty sir Please remove all the ridiculous t-mobile bloat.

Was this dump made using "adb pull"? If so, it's next to worthless for the purposes of building a prerooted system image - no permissions, no symlinks.
Someone needs to dump system using tar. I have attached a binary of busybox (which includes tar) compiled using the instructions given at http://arighi.blogspot.com/2011/08/install-busybox-from-source-on-samsung.html
Extract it from the zip and install it as follows, I am assuming that whoever does the dump is comfortable with ADB:
Code:
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
Then start an adb shell or an Android Terminal Emulator session, and within it:
Code:
cd /system
/data/local/tmp/busybox tar czvf /sdcard/system_dump_t989.tar.gz *
Then grab /sdcard/system_dump_t989.tar.gz and upload it here.
To avoid having 308403434 different people do this, I suggest you guys name a volunteer
IMPORTANT: If the attempt to tar up /system above gives any errors about access denial or permissions, post the name of every file that was a problem.

Would love to but at work atm.

"/data/local/tmp/busybox tar czvf /sdcard/system_dump_t989.tar.gz *" gives permission denied error

/system itself? That's VERY odd.
zaventh is working this now, talking with him on IRC
Edit: Looks like adb push didn't make busybox executable, as I mentioned in IRC:
Code:
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox

Finally the ball gets rolling

Awesome Hash, you are the man. I don't suppose terminal emulator would work in place of ADB would it, I don't have a pc on hand.

First!
Thanks Hash ! This is were dual-boot takes its interest .
EDIT: Not the first .

Seems possible except you need wifi to download terminal emulator from the play store unless you have the apk for terminal emulator saved on your kindle fire already.
Anyways thanks hashcode, I'm really looking forward to flashing this in the morning!

I'm using "su" binary from AOSP.. which doesn't seem to want to work with Superuser from the market. Oddly, that puts many people who can't seem to get adb to work in a bind. Hrm. Probably the best way to fix it would be to use a "su" binary from another build and load it up in recovery by mounting system (use the recovery gui to do that), then:
adb push su /system/bin
adb shell
cd /system/bin
chmod 6755 su
chown root.root su
exit
Of course you can always wait and just play with it a bit, an I'll have all of this worked out for the next build w/ working HD codecs.
It's late and I need some sleep

Thank you hashcode and if anybody tells you how to fix the UMS bug can you say it to me i also have a bug with the nexus sense 4 rom i also need to enable it

Using terminal emulator I'm getting
"uid 10039 not allowed to su"
"1|[email protected]:/"
I can use ADB, but wondering if there's a quick way without hooking it up. (Ive got root explorer, another binary I can use, yada...)

BTW GApps don't work well, at least I don't have any setup at first boot and Play Store crashes.
And my ADB is a mess, Windows keeps thinking the device is in a pluged in/unpluged loop... On Ubuntu it works . And I have no USB storage notification when my device is connected .
EDIT: And pictures are rotated in multitasking panel .

Did y'all notice that the superuser binary is in system/xbin and not system/bin in the ROM?
I guess that's why my root explorer isnt working, because the command for it looking in the superuser app IS sys/bin.
So, you'll have to use adb to move it.
(You don't have to grab one from another build, in other words.)
Pull it from system/xbin and push to system/bin.

what i have done
1) flash base rom
2) flash gapps 29/4
3) flash superuser the latest from this website
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
and i have just a smooth rom

how to root 4.1?

go to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and flash the newest arm zip as QuBe2 said

Is the interface the tablet interface or phone interface? Because i have installed and it seens a big phone

That's the default UI for tablets since the Nexus 7 uses it, but it can be switched to TabletUI.

nice for a beta it is pretty quick and I used the adb trick and I got wifi

Cant get adb to work, only get no device on adb

vbdss I can help maybe
what OS are you using

[Port]Ubuntu Touch [WIP] No data yet

I just got it booting on my M919 without adb using twrp recovery, but in no way did I make the breakthroughs. This is the link to JustSueMe's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545627&page=1
And also his original thread posted in the 9505 forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564187

instructions:
reboot to recovery
wipe all partitions
flash phablet in above link
flash trusty-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip [u can find on cdimages.ubuntu.com]
reboot phone to system
--
at this point youll have a black screen and no activity
plug phone into pc
grab this file : (70-jfltexx.rules) http://www.datafilehost.com/d/17d6dd77
now open terminal
$ su
$ adb push 70-jfltexx.rules /usr/lib/lxc-android-config/
$ reboot
phone will look like its doing nothing for a bit, but wait.
now it will boot back up like normal but you will have a ubuntu touch gui
BUGS:
no conectivity
no sound
edge swipe is small but works without case
camera
frame jumps to the right for some apps occasionally (unsure if thats on purpose of buggy... i vote buggy)
app crashing (maybe reason for camera crash?)
doesnt show imei
no sdcard mounted
terminal app doesnt even work so need to use adb to run commands
enjoy lol ... note alpha in title if anyone wants to complain ... also note only you are responsible for what happens to your device.
No computer? Download http://www.datafilehost.com/d/17d6dd77
Install Twrp recovery, follow directions as instructed above. When screen goes black, reboot into recovery, use the file manager in twrp and copy 70-jfltexx.rules to /data/ubuntu/usr/lib/lxc-android-config/ then chroot755 the file and reboot.
Fixes:
now have connectivity via reverse tether:
adb root
adb shell setprop sys.usb.config rndis,adb
ubuntu network manager will show that samsung android is connecting.
open network settings edit that connection and change auto DHCP to shared
run this command (logged into phone)
dhclient usb0 -v
now on phone open webbrowser or ping 8.8.8.8 to test connection
just got WIFI !
adb shell
insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcmdhd_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt
now wifi will turn on
make it auto load at boot
touch userinit.sh
nano userinit.sh
add to the file :
-
#!/bin/bash
insmod /system/lib/modules/dhd.ko firmware_path=/system/etc/wifi/bcmdhd_sta.bin nvram_path=/system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt
-
adb push userinit.sh /data/local/userinit.sh
adb shell
chmod +x /data/local/userinit.sh

i9505 roms on m919 really arent ports. Only Because you really dont have to do anything.
Pretty cool tho. When its more stable/working I'd love to play around on it to check it out.

Moved to general as this does not qualify as development, please understand posting rules before posting in Development sections...Thanks!

You can mount it as loop and explore it, I suppose.

You may need to just give it some time, it took a good 10 minutes or so for it to finish anything for me over bluetooth. It just sat at the prompt without giving me status information or anything.

abd won't let you put anything in /data or /system, as it's not running in root mode.
You have to push it to /storage/sdcard0/ then enter an adb shell, get root with su, remount /system and copy the zip from /storage/sdcard0/ to /system/media/

So what can we do with this
