Hey guys i just started to develop for android. I already have a linux (Ubuntu) machine and the kernel source from samsung. I know how to build the kernel too. But now my question is: Can i test the kernel without flashing it to my device? I dont want to damage anything

No options, flash on your device first..

k, Thanks
ppl, correct me if im wrong, but I think its easiest if you flash only the system partition.
but again, i wouldnt do it unless im sure that the bootloader is expected to work with that ROM. best is to recompile the ROM you're using yourself and see if the Kernel name changes under About Phone

I want to test my own KERNEL not a custom ROM. If you flash a corrupted kernel you can hardbrick your device with ease. Imagine you develop ur own kernel, flashed it and youre device just turned into useless piece of electronic. Terrible.

Unless Vibranturk knows how to compile kernels, he is of no use right now. Sorry, I would take a go at it, I just don't have any Linux installed right now and don't wanna DL the source to build the kernel. You have to build a modified kernel for the Phone to boot, you can try flashing Glitch after you the flash the ROM and reboot.

I tried flashing this rom with glitch kernel but still no luck.
Then wait until I get things setup and I might take a go at it....

If all goes well then you could see a kernel soon. I just need to see what the dude from the I9000 Forums did to make it boot

And again - may be porting just some TW apps will be easier.
why cant we flash kernel using CWM or apps like Odin or integrate kernel within the rom? like it is done on other phones... what is it that prevents it to be done on X8

i never seen on any Xperia phone 2010/2011 and generally any phones with 2.6.29.6 kernel to be able to flash through CWM or with apps... I know that a lot of other phones have that option but we are stuck with flashtool. :/
actually the X10 has a KTG kernel that can be flashed through CWM and it's for locked bootloaders. DooMKerneL for locked bootloaders can also be flashed via CWM.
you don't read much do you?
in an interview NAA already mentioned about it.and he is working on this , lets just cross our fingures and wish him all the best
Kernel and recovery have to be seperated to make kernel flashable through recovery. But in our case, recovery is part of kernel so that is making some troubles I guess

Not at all,this is not a problem as long as we can install recovery at the stock kernel.

kernel and recovery can be separated easily. but that won't provide CWM flashable kernels. read my post (in this thread and the off-topic thread) or nAa's post in his interview.

As per my knowledge of uC (of cources with Atmel ones) ( new to ARM )
boot loader/ kernel boot is placed in special area of the non volatile memory and kernel calls the /system to boot.
Here in case of custom kernels , CWM is just embedded into kernel like a system functions which is called when recovery is evocked, allowing the kernel to perform read / write on to permitted partions like /system and others. but it does not provide access to the boot loader area.
Please let me knwo if I understand the things correctly in situation with ARM and andriod.
Cheers!

almost a year ago......you think he is still working on it?... i dont think so
he has work too..he cannot simply put all his time on xda..developing rom, handling his kernels...i dont think we will see cwm flashable kernel from him..although he can make it
he may be working on it. it's pretty hard to working even for nAa.

Similar things we too thought before nAa released MINICM9...
So be patient and wait..
Ok guys i am building a new kernel for you Note users based on the official source that samsung Dropped..i have the source and tools the problem is can someone point me on how to include the recovery as i do not own the device and would like to share some love on this device..else i will just build it without the recovery..
your replies will be much appreciated as this will be step forward for you to have a new kernel..this will be a blind build since i do not own the device i DID own it but never fiddled with it since the device was prone to bricking..
I hope you are aware of the brick bug.

yes i am aware of that and it seems the newer ones are now safe from brick bug..but still its never late just to be cautious..
just finished building 1 kernel image..hope i did it right..
note: Always do a backup before borking your device..
test zimage
also i need a clean ramdisk for STOCK TW roms..as i am just using the Revived Hydracore kernel ramdisk..it might not boot as i what i am seeing it..but nonetheless just try if it boots up..

Sorry, but that's kind of a joke: you want to build a kernel for the Note, but you do not have one. And you do not know how to include recovery. And you want to be cautious.
You really expect that a member with a Note would risk his device testing this?
Maybe you should start to build a kernel for a device you own yourself.

i used the remaining Hydracore remnants for ramdisk and in my inspection i did found a recovery included..nevertheless it seems to be safe as i am reading his deve post before i dived in..
i own an S3 and i built my own kernel for it..based on the Update 7 sources the same goes for my S3 mini(i do not own the device but since sources are available then why not build 1)..also i am not obliging everyone to help..if it boots up then good for you as i can upload the source and for your devs to start spinning things..much more or less its a good start..
you can always ODIN in the stock boot image..if things come worse..also do not blame me since this was the problem with samsung to begin with..
edit1: ok so for those who are interested to help me you can PM me as i want to try the lower exynos platform..this is just weird as the kernel format is in zimage instead of a normal boot.img file..this is just for those who are brave and knows the way around stuff with N7000..

If things come worse you'll make a new "Angelom Kernel". No risk for you - because you can't brick your device.
But in the end each tester has to decide if he wants to test your "blind build".

that is why its just for those who are brave enough..else you stay on stock forever..that is why samsung release these codes..for those who are interested..else just look at those codes..

Please include your kernel in this thread to make it clearer
You have to use this updater-script for flash cm7. If you don't use this one, the phone will get bricked. http://pastebin.com/htJ8NYTs
For use this updater-script you have to put in the first root of the zip two files: bmlunlock and busybox.
Remember to add the boot.img of hells fusion kernel at second post!
P.S. OP I think that you have to give credits to biel!
Soft Brick. Tried with hell lock flashable zip, softbrick with flashlight with 2 seconds. Now tried with the kernel you provided, stuck on the SGAi bootlogo. Any solution? You said it worked on someone else's device... How did he install? From stock or another rom?
EDIT: Now will try with the updater script you said, @Lopicl.00 . What attachment are you talking about?

Well, I don't know which is the point of this thread. You are building my sources. You are making my ROM. Why create another thread? You don't have the device, me neither, but I started that project from 0. Why instead of making your CM7 you don't help us? Why don't you make a pull request? Do we need to talk with testers, which are the same for the both of us, to just test the same ROM!? If we want to have something big, we should focus on one CM and not building various CM7. I don't know which is the point of this, and I don't know what were you thinking. In your github there is 0 changes on my device tree. I committed all my changes during the last month and you used my work to build your own, and then it seems that your ROM is better than mine, because I don't release mid-done ROM's. I want to give the best expierence to all the users.
Also, I committed all the changes to help people understand on what I'm working. Many users asked me if I was really working on it, as I did not commit anything to github, but I was. And what happens if I commit? other users use my work to build their ROM's? I think that's not the way to go.
And what about a simple credit to the real author of this ROM? as your signature says: Send me device tree and I'll build the ROM. Why? To be more famous using other people's work? I don't get the point of anything here...
Oh, btw, where are the permissions to do that?
Thanks, Biel.

Ok I am also starting the device tree from scratch. Is that alright?
I will suspend the current build and post a new one tomorrow which will based on my device trees.
About credits? I didnt even complete writing this thread..
About changes thing? I have made changes at my end which are not committed becuz I dont wanna put untested changes on github.
Sorry If I offended someone but I had no real intentions of doing that..
and btw.. I mean somehting else from my sign.. I want to help other device owners to get new roms to their device. Though it contradicts to this build.
Hi everyone...
Has anyone managed to get root acces or even boot twrp/cwm successfully on the EU 64bit version of the D510??
i have been trying to compile the kernel myslf but i dont have much experiance with kernels and setting up an environment..

apaerently not although i am doing my best i have set up an ubuntu linux environment so i can compile kernels etc so hopefully i will be able to do something with it soon.. if not we will have to wait until htc release kernel source or a stock ruu so we can pull recovery and kernel from that..
