[Q][ROM] My custom rom fails Samsung GTi9100

Hi,
I am a new beginner of android. I am trying to rebuild the kernel with profiling support for Samsung galaxy s2 (GT-i9100). After flashing my custom rom to my phone, my phone does not work.
This is how I do it:
1.Downloaded the image I9100XXLP6_I9100OXXLP3_OXX and flashed my galaxy s2 mobile using odin software. now my Galaxy s2 works fine with ICS build (kernel version - [email protected] #3, Ardroid version - 4.0.3).
2. Downloaded the samsung galaxy s2 source code GT-I9100_ICS_Opensource_Update8.zip from opensoure.samsung.com and cross compiler arm-eabi-4.4.3.
3. Use the initramfs from github (Since I am a new user of this forum, I can not post outside link here; I google with "arighi/initramfs-gt-i9100.git" and use the first link)
4. Through "make menuconfig" to enable the profiling support and configure the initramfs source path as specified at step 3.
5. After compiling, I can get the custom zImage of size about 8 MB
6. Then I use "tar -cvf mykernel.tar zImage" to generate my custom rom; and then flash it to my phone through odin.
7. Now my phone boots with a kernel panic upload mode screen and my phone doesn't work.
My question:
1. Does the initramfs cause the problem? If it is, where can I get the matched initramfs for the kernel source code?
2. Is there anything wrong in my above steps?
I would be very appreciated if someone could help me.
Thanks.

Wont connect to USB

Hey,
I connected external WiFI adapter to my Xperia Z3, and it doesn't work. Any idea how to make device recognise/connect to the adapter?....

By my understanding of that Android is technicaly based on Linux kernel, you would need a kernel module for taht WiFi dongle or kernel that Supports it (Driver compiled in kernel)...

Why external WiFi?

I want to use reaver, Z3's WiFi doesn't support monitor mode.....
And is this even possible with rooted phone, while keeping locked bootloader?...

In theory yes. You would need kernel module driver compiled for that kernel you are running. Drivers in Linux can be compiled in the kernel or provided as module. So grab source code compile as module and insert module (insmod) from terminal...

Helo Friends
I have the latest KaliLinux + Nethunter installed on Sony Xperia Z3 RooT / Boot unlocked MM 6.0.1 - 23.5.A.1.291 ((Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-gc14c2d5)) according to this instruction:
http://www.hackcave.net/2017/05/install-kali-nethunter-on-any-android-device.html
everything works terminal, SSH, VNC, etc., but the network card
TP-LINK TL-WN722N does not want to wake up: (((
in the Kali Terminal, the "lsusb" command shows the adapter connected to the OTG cable with power supply:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0cf3: 9271 Atheros Comuni ..... AR9271
, but the green light on the usb wi-fi card does not shine
Here I have a question: does my kernel support the modules needed to support external wifi ???
what's the kernel under my system ???
My English is Google Translator I wrote matter-of-fact .............
Thank you very much for any advice

[Q] Installing USB Ethernet Adapter drivers

I recently got an ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet adapter for my Android device running CyanogenMod based on Android 5.1.1 and the 3.4.* kernel.
The drivers for the device are provided as source code and are available:
http://www.asix.com.tw/FrootAttach/driver/AX88179_178A_LINUX_DRIVER_v1.14.2_SOURCE.tar.gz
ASIX represents that the drivers are "For Android 1.x/2.x/3.x/4.x/5.x, Linux kernel 2.6.25 and later".
I attempted to compile the drivers using the CyanogenMod-included Terminal emulator App, but could not get anything to compile. It seemed that the "make" command or tool is not recognized.
I found a note in the drivers source readme file:
Code:
Prepare to build the driver, you need the Linux kernel sources installed on the
build machine, and make sure that the version of the running kernel must match
the installed kernel sources.
I found kernel sources on https://www.kernel.org/ . How do I make use of the kernel sources?
The version 3.4.* kernel is frequently updated. Should I be recompiling the driver with new, updated kernel sources every time a new kernel version is installed?
Must the drivers be compiled on the system they are to be used on?
Is there a better way to handle driver preparations or acquisitions?

[ROM] [ 6.0 ] NetHunter - Jiayu S3 [MT6752]

Hi guys.
I have been working on a project to port NetHunter to Jiayu S3 (advanced for me , MT6752 platform) , working okay so far.
The rom contains two parts: Patched Kernel & NetHunter Files.
Kernel is modified and patched based on LoliTeam's project on Github.
mac80211 patched with script provided by Offensive-Security , HID manually patched regarding "Kernel-3.10-Nexus9.patch". Not exactly the same yet similar.
Additional Package of NetHunter is built under construction of [email protected]
Tested on
CM13 UNOFFICIAL for JIAYU S3a MT6752 (recommend)
AICP 6.0 UNOFFICIAL for JIAYU S3a MT6752
( Should work on JIAYU S3 basic too I guess. Never tried )
Progress:
OTG: Fix the 5V Power Supply for OTG so we can mount more than a USBdisk , like Mouse/Keyboard/JoyStick/WirelessAdapter , all avaliable now.
DuckHunter HID attack: working. Tho simple HID attack item didnt work , no idea why.
BadUSB MITM: RNDIS enabled. Capable to redirect the traffic of the computer you connected through your phone. (DHCPD on phone required, do it manually)
WiFi MITM: built-in wireless adapter does not support Monitor Mode so built-in Nethunter WiFi MITM does not work either. But we can do it manually , with a external USB via an OTG cable
Kali Chroot: Working
USBkeyboard(as HID device): Working
cSploit: Working
Shodan: Working
OpenVPN for Android: Working
VNC: Working
MSF: Working
RF Analyzer: Working
SDR softwares: Working
Not working:
aircrack-ng toolkit: seldom working. But can be replaced by manually command.
War Driving: not working normally , because aircrack-ng. Not planning a fix.
Router Keygen: Only support built-in adapter. Giving it up.
Problems:
Battery Power is consumed faster.
Easier to heat up.
I think they are bearable.
Installation Instructions:
To manually install , there is a long way to go.
Download ManuallyFlashImage.zip and unzip.
1. get a SP_FlashTool with a stock 5.1.1 RC5 firmware.
I have done most of the job.
Replace recovery.img with a TWRP one.
Modify scatter.txt to enlarge the partition of boot , recovery and system (I enlarged them * 2 , * 2, * 1.5)
You just need to select "download only" to "Format all and Download"
2.Get the roms ready in sdcard. I got [ cm13 , opengapps-mini , supersu , nethunter, xposed-framework ]
Vol-Up + Power
Vol-Up to select recovery and Vol-Down to confirm.
Wipe everything EXCEPT micro sdcard.
Install the roms in order.
CM13 - reboot to system - reboot to recovery - opengapps-mini - supersu - xposed - nethunter .

i like that otg feature where you can plug in more than one. i hope that can be implemented in nougat too.
first time i hear about this nethunter, is that some kinda like linuxdeploy? where you can launch a desktop distros?

OTG might be avaliable on nougat , too.
I havent seen the source code of 7.0 kernel so I cant say for sure but most likely there should be OTG configuration.
Nethunter is a professional security package for android where you can do penetration test.
check NetHunter
Simplely it can be seen as Kali Linux on android.
And yes , local VNC server is avaiable so you can access local chroot kali desktop. Seems like gnome2.

I'm missing something
So you used kernel repo, that is a clone from mad repo, yet where's the credits?
Call me a jackass but this is the exactly reason why there's no much development on this devices.
Ever since M.A.D. released their GPL (and more non-GPL repos like device &vendor trees)
People had been using ( and good) and making kernels & semi-compiled cm builds forgetting the ones that had the heavy work on making those trees & releasing repos to the public ( that was an huge headache )...
Well done
As the project itself , looks cool

I forked the kernel from LoliTeam where the project can be found no link between MAD.
I am not a historian but I checked the commits and decide that MAD should be the origin of the copy of kernel so the credit is added.

Can be used kali linux from framebuffer in this project ?

(Request) help
Using magisk we can install universal full kali net hunter on miui or any other custom android rom
Which works almost perfectly
But
to do advanced stuff like wifi related stuff we need a external adapter i already has a fully supported wifi adapter
But the problem is to use a external adapter through otg we need a kernel which support wireless adapter, adapter driver built in
(Like most of the official device oneplus nexus lg samsung has "Any kernel" its a kernel available for nexus devices fully supports nethunter has wifi adapter driver built in)
Even the net hunter detects the adapter (cheked using "lsusb" command, it shows apater name chipset) but we cant do anything on off nothing because of that kernel compablity
So is there any kernel has this type of functionility available for note 5 pro whyred
If answer is no
Then im requesting Devs to make or port one
Since there is both stock and nethunter kernel source available in internet
So it will be not that difficult to port
(even previous year note 4 note 3 has a ported kernel which fully functional with net hunter)
So why not for our star
So plz its an request
A rom for net hunter will be great but
A kernel which support wireless adapter and other functionality is enough
Thanks in advance

Android kernel is device-specific. You cant flash one kernel to another device.

Unable to load wifi module for ASUS ROG Phone 1

Specifications:
Phone: ASUS ROG 1
Model Number: ASUS_Z01QD
Android version : 8.1.0
Firmware: WW-15.1630.1907.98
Kernel Version: 4.9.65-perf
I have an ASUS ROG 1 Phone. It came with Android 8.1 and firware version WW-15.1630.1907.98. I took the kernel source code from ASUS site. Source code version: <new user on XDA hence unable to post the src code link.>
Was able to build successfully and flash to the phone. Rooted the phone following to that. The problem is that the wifi wasnt working after flashing the new kernel .
1. I checked the modules loaded lsod, from adb and it didnt show the wil6210.ko loaded.
2. I tried insmod /modprobe wil6210.ko and was constantly getting the following errors:
a. disagrees about version of symbol module_layout android kernel
b. required key not available .
c. No such file or directory.
3. I tried building the kernel with the SIG flags disabled in the .config file and flashed to the phone. Yet ended up getting errors like no such file or directory and required key not available.
Any help will be really appreciated.

You need to rebuild the Wi-Fi module against the source that you compiled then flash it. Alternatively, you can try building the Wi-Fi source into the kernel image but that is usually broken or you can force the module to load by whitelisting it in kernel/module.c (there are commits floating around that allow this) but it can open up a security vulnerability.

Thanks for your reply.
The source code I downloaded from the ASUS website, the wifi module code was a part of it. So whille building the kernel the module <wil6210.ko> also got built along with it.
So the wifi module did get built against the same source.
