General informations:
This thread's aim is only to represent a central meeting and discussion point for BCM21553 developers and, in particular, for the open Kernel/ROM sources development for the Samsung Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300 (codenamed Cori).
Information for common users:
As already described in the previous section, if you are not a developer, please restrict your posts to the general discussion thread so that developers can maintain good communication. Every post that is not strictly respecting these rules will be reported to the forum moderators. Thanks for your understanding.
For any other BCM21553 device related question or information, please, use this thread as a reference point, instead:
[DEVS ONLY][BCM21553 series] CyanogenMod 11 for BCM21553 Development Discussion
As someone already might know, I'm streambinder, from MoltenMotherBoard team.
I have already followed some projects for the GT-S5300, but especially kept in contact
with some of the events related to the porting of ROM and Kernel sources for BCM21553 chipset based devices.
In this precise moment, the sources in my possession allow you to be able to compile
a bugfree CWM 5.0.2.8 (based on CyanogenMod 7 code) with a kernel based on the Samsung stock one.
The only - fundamental - problem was due to the fact that unless I hadn't used the prebuilt INIT binary
token in the Samsung stock firmware boot.img, the phone would not work - or, better, boot up.
This means that until the situation - regarding this issue - doesn't change, our access to the porting of custom ROM
would be barred.
Recently, I decided to give Cori another chance and rework my sources, looking at the wonderful work brought
by the BroadcomCM team on CyanogenMod 9 (in particular, thanks to @bieltv.3 and @Alberto96) and @psyke83 on CyanogenMod 11.
They've not only been able to run these two ROMs in a more or less crude way, but this developer has been able to write
the necessary strings to make the INIT binary of some of these BCM21553 devices opensource.
Strong of this informations, I readjusted some of the sources of BroadcomCM's CyangenMod 9, which includes
all the progress carried out by both the team and psyke83, in order to make them work even on Cori,
and am now next to the first test of the CWM 6.X.X.X, based on IceCreamSandwich code.
At the same time, @akhbh is working on the KitKat code based CWM.
I hope I can give more information about any progress as soon as possible.
The General Discussion thread for non-development issues is here:
*.[DISCUSSION] CyanogenMod 11 For Galaxy Pocket GT-S5300 Discussion Thread
Made a first test of CWM based on CyanogenMod 9 code.
It seems it cannot flash it as it weighs so much compared to its partition configuration value: in fact, the maximum boot partition size is set up to 5.0MB, but the compiled boot.img weighs 5.3MB.
Will have to resize its weight in order to make it fill into the partition.
@akhbh, have you had any complication in these terms, with CyanogenMod 11 sources?
@psyke83, what do you suggest to do? Do you think an increasement of boot partition would be a better idea?

No, I didn't faced those complications. My boot.img weighted around 4.5 MB in lzma compression mode. In gzip, it increased to more than 5 mb.

Well, I took the GeTux kernel for cori, had to change the board name though and then compile it. CWM was booting even before changing the board name but there was no reaction from the phone on trying to boot cm9/cm11
And after changing board name, a black screen on trying to boot
Another info: When tried to merge cori source into the bcm21553 common one, it did compile but gave bootloop of GT-S5300 logo on trying to boot as well as when trying to go in CWM.
Bieltv.3 recommended to use cori source instead of the bcm21553 common one so we used cori sources

I suggest to use our Kernel sources for now, too: it will automatically bypass few errors/issues/bootloops that we cannot now fight with.
The most important thing is to make INIT working from sources (hope it will be working
on my CM9 sources, too) and check that every our configuration is correctly working and
making Cori boot into recovery.
Once we'll make it perfectly working without any kind of issue, will be the right time to try
to make Cori supported with the BC21553-common kernel.

Okay, I will use your kernel sources and try if something is changed once I reach home. For now, I neither have this device nor a PC, as I'm in another city.
Will be keenly watching your work. Will start after reaching home around the end of September

No problem, mate.
Here you have every source in my possession:
platform_kernel_samsung_cori
platform_device_samsung_cori
Keep in contact with me, as I will need some informations by you.
Anyway I'm now making another build, keeping some not so much important binaries excluded, so that I can make the compiled boot.img fill into our little Cori's boot partition. I know it's a dirty workaround, but if it works, I'll use it untill @psyke83 will suggest me a better way to do.

Of course, mate. I'm working on it, right now.
It doesn't seem to boot, strange if the same INIT binary sources are working for @akhbh.
#UPDATE
In order to troubleshoot, I'll give you some info.
For his build I used these sources:
platform_kernel_samsung_cori
platform_device_samsung_cori
android_device_samsung_bcm21553-common
Applied some lines on our bcm21553-bootimg.mk, too, in order to exclude parted and mke2fs and make the compiled boot.img weigh less.
@cleverior.ipul, can you link me your kernel sources, as akhbh said he used your ones for CM11.
@akhbh, which modifies have you applied in order to compile CWM based on CM11 code? Which device tree?
#UPDATE 2
Attached my compiled boot.img.
If anyone of you would extract it (you can easily use this tool: bootimgtools - read how to use it in the README) and make a diff with the CM11 one (just extract the ramdisk of both boot.imgs and - in the terminal - use this command: diff -urN /path/to/cm9/ramdisk /path/to/cm11/ramdisk > diff.patch), would make to me a huge favour.
Let me know.

I think we didn't had significant changes. Perhaps the same as totoro. But, that resulted in the internal_sd not mounting error in cwm.
Sadly, as said before, I am away from my home city and can't provide the files to you and can't do the boot.img diffs as well
Try to ask psyke83, he might have a solution for that

here the link source https://github.com/cleverior/android_kernel_samsung_cori
i've changed the board name. If your device can not boot after using the zImage from this source, then rename init.bcm21553.rc to init.gt-s5300.rc.
@streambinder, what is grom? As bieltv.3 said that init built grom for cori is required to fix adb over cwm recovery. If adb gets working, then possibly the black screen while booting cm11 might get fixed

Sincerely don't what are you talking about.
Anyway, have to try to understand where's the problem with the not-booting CWM.
Will try with your sources and let you know.

Kernel source for the Xperia E1 is available as a tarball on the "Xperia open source archives" site. I'm running a custom-built kernel on my Xperia E1 (D2114). I documented what I did here:

This is for KK or JB4.3?
Since im starting development for this device, idk much and i not read actual progress. @Kizoky you can resume progress for me?

This is for KK kernel, but I couldn't not build kernel because I'm still a rookie
Camera drivers exists for MSM8610(Xperia E1's chipset) on sonyxperiadev Github
Recovery exists (you can find PhilZ recovery in this forum)
what is still missing is a working Device tree, and vendor libs (and of course a cm compatible kernel)

Ok, i changed boot.img, now i have CWM from boot, and bootsrap.
I tried to boot it, but this get bootloop, the bootanimation is loaded but bootloop, maybe dt.img.
I cant access dmesg command. @Kizoky any tip?

Hi! I'm the owner of the github repo mentioned at the top of this thread.
Getting a working ramdisk took me a while. I think that what finally worked was downloading an official firmware image with XperiFirm (you don't even need to wait for it to finish downloading the full image - one of the first files downloaded is the kernel one, containing boot.img), then I extracted boot.img with the unofficial XPERIA flash tool, then extracted the ramdisk. (The kernel command line I used is the same one in the official boot.img, by the way.) As for the device tree image, you can build it from the kernel sources.
Note that boot.img on this phone has a device tree blob appended to the end. I wrote a small script to unpack the official boot.img and compare it to the one that I built and check if I was doing everything right (can't post links as I'm a new user, but it's linked in the README.md file linked above).
I'll try to add more details to those instructions when I have some time (I didn't think anyone else would be interested in building a kernel for this cheap phone ). By the way, I use the E1 with a custom kernel as my main personal phone and it works fine (for a 512M phone), kudos to Sony for not compromising the quality of even their lowest end model.
I think everyone is interested in making this phone better
Since July 2014 we tried porting Cyanogenmod without success, now last year we modified a Moto E ROM and made it work with E1, only the ril is not working
So sad that Sony didn't made this phone even better
So the device tree is located in the ramdisk?

The device tree is located after the ramdisk in boot.img, but you can build it from the kernel sources provided by Sony. The `msm8610-v2-mtp.dtb` make target will build the device tree blob. Then mkqcdtbootimg will build a boot.img containing kernel + ramdisk + device tree blob. The only thing that you need for this which is not provided by Sony (well, other than more detailed build instructions...) is a ramdisk image, I had to extract it from the stock firmware...
If you want to split boot.img into kernel / ramdisk / device tree, you can use this script: github.com/mpersano/bootimg-tools/blob/master/split-bootimage.py
Good luck!

I've been trying to get that script work like ages
Does it require Linux, or just Python?
EDIT: nvm, I figured it out
So is CM for E1 finally possible or just custom kernel?
@fzort @Kizoky i make this booting with the stock dt blob (device tree means the Android Device Tree, and this is totally diff, use "dt blob")
See my changes in https://github.com/Caio99BR/android_kernel_sony_falconss
Ah, only with msm8610-v2-mtp.dtb this works too, i tested after.
("I not reply more earlier because the phone is from my father and yesterday ran out of energy.")
The ramdisks works and dt blobs too.

Ok man, im trying to do kernel fully working (solved problem of dt blobs. We cant pack qrd dt, so comment build of then), and zip easy flashing, but not working at moment, my father will get crazy when him try to play FM Radio.
After i will merge code to a CAF Linux Kernel, so this is more easy to update.
By last finish the Android Device Tree with a E1 Caf Kernel.
I will try to post the custom kernel.
Im thinking in VeeSSKernel (Since my kernel of L3II is VeeKernel), what do you think?

For CM i will need to redownload CAF Kernel MSM (since im stupid and overwrited .git in tests).
I will start building TWRP (V3), merging it to stock ramdisk and update to make cwm and twrp side-by-side.
So i have done this in two weeks for make a custom kernel, thanks @fzort

Before i posting anything i need to say this recovery is exclusive from our greatest developer kumajaya. I'm just add theme to default one you just need to reflash nothing more. I'm not responsible for bricked devices. This is working well if you have any problem just leave comment on thread
It's enough, don't hide TWRP inside a ROM thread!
Built from source inside cm-13.0 source tree, always sync to upstream TWRP
Trusted, completely open (recovery changes, device tree, kernel, etc)
Currently use the new default TWRP theme
Qualcomm encryption support (untested, have no plan to encrypt my device)
Properly run AROMA Filemanager 2.00b7
Compatible to both old KitKat and new Lollipop bootloader (since 20160201 build, use updated kernel source but CM known not boot with the new bootloader)

/wiki/Motorola_Moto_G5s(motorola-montana)
The kernel used is from motorola's repository, since working usb networking is a must have, I'm not so sure if I can rely on lineageos kernel(I'm not sure if it is a matter of a kernel or of the vendor/device tree I decided to play it safe) , so I decided to start from scratch.
Right now on the roadmap:
1. Clean up the messy commits and start from a new branch.
2. Get merged into postmarketos official repository. (I can do so right now, but I rather go back and re-do the commits, remove the unnecessary changes).
3. Fix DPI settings, default ones are optimized for Desktop.
4. Find out the right pixelformat to use with osk-sdl those will translate into charging/battery-sdl and Filesystem Encryption.
5. Get wifi, gps ,accelerometer, bluetooth audio working. (Wifi and accelerometer doesn't work for 100%, )
test gps/get it working, get accelerometer working ,fix DPI.
6. Lastly mainlining kernel, which is required to get the WIP postmarketos modem driver and 3D Acceleration working.
Optional:
1. Porting MultiROM and patching a kernel to support kexec-hardboot patch on our device.
Once I will get my internet back I will work on @up things and provide:
1. Instructions on getting this linux distribution compiled.
2. Fastboot bootable kernel and sdcard image. I would prefer for you to boot a kernel and using sdcard over a flashable zip image for now, disappointment guaranteed.
WIFI networking most likely doesn't work since I haven't created device/firmware-montorola-montana package with wifi firmware.
If you want to contribute hit me up, I have a very slow connection and possibly have it for couple of days, so I might not be able to do any work for some time.
I don't have enough posts to make a DEVDB nor a development thread, so take it as [Q&A] thread that will hopefully get me to the minimal number of posts I require.
I also can't post outside links apparently the repositories I here present are relative to postmarketos wiki, github, gitlab or codeaurora git.
Repositories:
Kernel:
/kubast2/kernel-msm
Wlan kernel module and firmware:
/MotorolaMobilityLLC/vendor-qcom-opensource-wlan-prima
/quic/la/platform/vendor/qcom-opensource/wlan/prima/tree/
For configs I use a twrp image of stock oreo, I will need to use some config files from that backup image in place of the wlan driver provided configs.
Device and proprietary repositories by the montana development team will be useful for reference of existing blobs and configuration files, while other device ports from postmarketos repository will be useful for reference on when they need to be placed within the rootfs of postmarketos:
/montanadevelopment
/postmarketOS/pmaports
Stock kernel is 32-bit, which is why USB tethering works on LOS14.1, which is 32-bit. Take a look at their trees:

Alright thanks, I don't have notifications for xda-developers, I will build on the basis of your kernel and push the change.
I see your kernel is already on a mainlining effort front.

If the device trees exist, you will need to add a local_manifests folder & roomservice.xml into your repo folder with the relevant details included, mine is attached as an example.
