G1 on linux gentoo

Hi,all.
my system:

when my g-phone is connected
I get the message from dmesg
dmesg
[ 4648.550324] usb 2-6: New USB device found, idVendor=0bb4, idProduct=0c02

then on g1 screen i choose "mount sd-card"
but KDE4.2.0 does not detect flash-card.
On windowsXP g1 as flashcard is working normally.
Ubuntu 8.04 \8.10 working norm too.
I think that the case in the kernel.
anyone can help with kernel .config?

You'd probably get better help on this from a Gentoo user forum, especially since you say it works fine under Kubuntu (as it does for me as well.)
I'd imagine it's a matter of hal configuration rather than the kernel. Search (on Google) for tips on enabling hal polling in Gentoo.

Do you have usb_storage loaded or enabled in your kernel? I don't see anything in your dmesg output about assigning your G1 to a device (/dev/sd#). Also - make sure you check the dmesg output AFTER you enable mounting the drive on the G1 - it won't present a USB storage device to gentoo until after this happens, so there might be additional output. If you do get additional output please post it here.
Do other USB drives work?
Try:
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_USB_STORAGE
If that doesn't work, try:
zcat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep CONFIG_USB_STORAGE
Make sure CONFIG_USB_STORAGE is set to "y" or "m". If not you'll need to rebuild your kernel. I'm sure a default kernel is going to include it - if you don't have it on then you most likely already know how to fix that.
I have to confess that I don't really use kde automounting much - I prefer the command line (especially since half the time I have more than one kde session open and I get all kinds of issues with dialog boxes opening up on a session I'm not looking at when I add a new device).

is hald service started?
Code:
/etc/init.d/hald status
if not, start it.
Code:
/etc/init.d/hald start
I have gentoo, and mounts fine (i use gnome).
For more help go to gentoo forums

[SCRIPT] Command Line Bandwidth Test (speedtest)

Since so many fight about whether the application speed tests are correct, I made a simple script that will test your speeds for you with no bs (with just 33 lines of code) and display the average speed for you in MB/s Mb/s and kB/s. It will let you choose 1 of 5 locations within the US and UK to test your speed against. The files are hosted by my vps hosting provider to test their data center speeds so they are pretty fast as well as provide a decent set of locations as well as keep me from paying for the bandwith . These are 100MB files so it'll give your connection some time to average out the speed. To run it just do the following:
NOTE: THIS TAKES AN AVERAGE OF YOUR SPEED, NOT THE PEAK SPEED. If it seems like it's slower than you think, it's because it's taking how long it took to download and the file size.
1) Download the script
2) Move it to a directory you can execute it from, such as /data/local/tmp by a file explorer or by the terminal.
3) gain super user privileges on the terminal (type "su" without quotes)
4) go to the directory you put the file and modify the permissions so you can run it:
Code:
cd /data/local/tmp
chown root speedtest.sh
chmod 755 speedtest.sh
5) run the file, picking a data center as an argument like so
atlanta, georgia:
Code:
./speedtest.sh a
dallas, texas:
Code:
./speedtest.sh d
fremont, california:
Code:
./speedtest.sh f
newark, new jersey:
Code:
./speedtest.sh n
london, england:
Code:
./speedtest.sh l
If you don't enter any letter after the script name, it defaults to dallas, since it's geographically in the center of the US.
Questions/Comments/Feedback, feel free to let me know. It's just a simple script, nothing impressive, but it does the job.
Currently it is only taking the integer values for the data output, because busybox doesn't include bc to do the floating point (decimal) math easily. I can pipe it through awk, but have not gotten to that yet.

Thanks for this! I'm going to give it a run this afternoon.
FYI: in step 5 you wrote speedtweak.sh not speedtest.sh. Just so ya know. Thanks again.

Changing servers can be considered a tweak.

Thanks for pointing out the typos. I shouldn't write out directions when I'm half asleep.
If anyone had any other high performance server locations with static IPs, I will add them to the script.
The current ones are at least likely to be of similar performance, just farther from you, so they could be slower from too many network hops. Busybox includes traceroute, so if you wanted, you could type the IP for the server in with that and find out which is closest to you by network hops (which may not be the same as actual physical distance).

Cant say for sure, but looks like it's missing a ) or something. Check to see if it copy and pasted okay.
Might try this as well so it will display all output:
sh -x speedtest.sh
And give me the output if you can.

I think it's crapping out on line 24:
MB_FILE_SIZE=$((($FILE_SIZE / 1048576) / $TOTAL_TIME))
see if your lines in it match the following exactly:
FILE_SIZE=`ls -l -a testfile | awk '{ print $5}'`
TOTAL_TIME=$(($AFTER_TIME - $BEFORE_TIME))
MB_FILE_SIZE=$((($FILE_SIZE / 1048576) / $TOTAL_TIME))
kB_FILE_SIZE=$((($FILE_SIZE / 1024) / $TOTAL_TIME))
Mb_FILE_SIZE=$(((($FILE_SIZE / 1048576) * 8) / $TOTAL_TIME))
echo "Average download Speeds:"
echo "$MB_FILE_SIZE MB/s"
echo "$kB_FILE_SIZE kB/s"
echo "$Mb_FILE_SIZE Mb/s"
rm -f testfile
Also, if you downloaded it to a windows pc and then put it on your phone, it might have made something go screwy due to the line endings. Windows does \n\r and linux does \n. I'll attach the download to the top posting if that helps and redownload it. If it's the line endings, you typically cant see those without a text editor that shows them.

I am getting a similar error
Sent from my Thunderbolt

Hmm. What folder are you guys trying it in offhand?
Certain places might need you to mount your /system in rw mode, but /data/local/tmp doesn't. That error just seems like it's not downloading the file and saving it, thus when it tries to use the filesize in the equations after to determine how long it takes, it divides by zero, because the file didnt exist.
Anyways, try mounting your system in rw and see if that works with:
mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
and to unmount:
mount -o remount,ro -t ext3 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
I'll add some debugging statements to the script so you guys can tell me a bit more details as well if things still don't work. It works on my end, but adding some stuff might help us to figure out why it isn't on your end.

got the same error as everyone else.

I'm running it from /data/local/tmp but I went ahead and tried it after running remount but still got the same results. It does go through the whole process of d/ling the file and everything but as soon as the d/l finishes is when it gives the syntax error. Also after its done there is another file in tmp called test file. I am using the pre-made file you put up later. Because I do think the txt editor on my phone I used to make the file was screwing up the line formatting.
Edit: BTW the test file that ends up in tmp is the full 100 MB.

The problem is your awk statement is grabbing the date field instead of the file size. For me it is the forth column instead of the fifth. Not sure why your phone is different then ours, but maybe it is the rom?

very weird. I'm running cyanogen mod 7. Probably the reason though. I wouldnt have evend had to use awk if busybox had a stat -c option. Stupid busybox, lol.
Glad it worked for you though.
What roms are you guys running offhand? That would be useful for me to try to make a workaround for.

Changing the 5 to a 4 worked for me too. Thanks
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt

I think an easier fix would be to check if field 5 has a dash, and if it does, use 4 instead.

[CM9.0.0][Siyah v4.1rc1+] Prolific/FTDI Serial Terminal HowTo

[CM9.0.0][Siyah v4.1rc1+] Prolific/FTDI Serial Terminal HowTo
Hi everybody out there!
I just finally managed to use my Galaxy S2 as a serial terminal for my newly bought cubox (google for solid-run)
and as I found very little information on how to achieve that, I thought about telling the word to other folks like me.
As I am definitely not experienced with compiling kernels and stuff, I used a precompiled kernel and rom:
Siyah Kernel: Siyah-s2-v4.1rc1-CWM.zip
Cyanogenmod: cm-9.0.0-galaxys2.zip
I also installed Busybox from BusyBox Pro by Stephen (Stericson) which contains the tool microcom
Now I use Irssi Connectbot, open a session and enter the following commands:
For becoming root: su
Needed first: insmod /lib/modules/usbserial.ko
If I want the Prolific Adapter: insmod /lib/modules/pl2303.ko
If I want the FTDI Adapter: insmod /lib/modules/ftdi_sio.ko
Now I check, if the modules have been loaded: lsmod
That gives me the following:
dhd 399255 0 - Live 0xbf04e000
ftdi_sio 27902 0 - Live 0xbf044000
pl2303 11895 0 - Live 0xbf03e000
usbserial 24441 2 ftdi_sio,pl2303, Live 0xbf034000
j4fs 68207 1 - Live 0xbf00a000 (P)
Si4709_driver 24227 0 - Live 0xbf000000
ftdi_sio ... Live ... <- FTDI Module loaded
pl2303 ... Live ... <- Prolific Module loaded
Now I plug my Usb2Microusb cable into my device and my OTG Adapter and finally into my Galaxy S2
Because me OTG Adapter was a very cheap one,
I need to check if it is actually connected:
dmesg | grep usb
...
<6>[53402.191025] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Prolific Technology Inc.
<6>[53402.237498] usb 2-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
I now have a ttyUSB0 in /dev , which I can use with microcom:
microcom -s 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
et voilà, im using a serial terminal connection to my device.
When I'm finished, I close microcom with Ctrl-x.
( I actually need to push the onscreen Ctrl in Connectbot and then press x on my touchscreen keyboard)
Now I unplug the OTG Adapter and unload the loaded modules with rmmod:
rmod pl2303
rmmod ftdi_sio
rmmod usbserial
Thats all. No more Bulky Laptops for Serial connections in cramped places!
PS: Thats my 1st post on this site and about my 10th post in forums in my lifetime.
So yeah, Im a "noob" in forumposting and a not so perfect english speaker.
Please feel free to correct and guide me

Thanks for the post. You can also create a script for faster execution.
Does it necessary to unload the modules after use?

[HOWTO] Add /etc/init.d support and enable OTG on boot [ROOT REQUIRED]

[UPDATE #1] I've added a zip file with the 2 scripts, with UNIX line endings , as suggested below by @aftvNews . Cheers.
[UPDATE #2] I've added a zip file with the 2 extra scripts to go into /etc/init.d, as requested by @Axecaster . These will need the same ownership and permissions as enableotg. They disable SELinux and set the permissions on the recovery directories. Cheers.
Having had a look around the android image on my Fire TV Stick (v1) [ FireOS 5.2.1.1 @rbox ] I found that a script, which doesn't exist, called /system/bin/factoryadb.sh was being run by /init.build.rc on boot.
I was able to create a simple script to run scripts in /etc/init.d on boot.
UPDATE (05/04/19): Now I've got root access on my FireTV Gen 2 [ FireOS 5.2.6.9 ] I can see the see these instructions will also work, although the OTG enabling is not needed
NOTE: I've only tested this on a 1st generation Fire TV Stick but may work on Fire TV boxes if they also call /system/bin/factoryadb.sh from /init.build.rc
Before you do this please make sure factoryadb.sh is NOT on your FireTV and that it is called from /init.build.rc by connecting to your FireTV via adb and running the following commands
Code:
adb shell
su
grep factoryadb /init.build.rc && ls -l /system/bin/factoryadb.sh
Hopefully this will return
Code:
service factoryadb /system/bin/factoryadb.sh
/system/bin/factoryadb.sh: No such file or directory
Now continue ...
My factoryadb.sh script
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Execute all scripts in /etc/init.d
if [ -d /etc/init.d ]
then
for f in `ls /etc/init.d/* 2>/dev/null`
do
if [ -s ${f} ]
then
echo Executing ${f} ... >/dev/kmsg
/system/bin/sh ${f}
fi
done
fi
NOTE: Make sure this file has UNIX line endings only. Notepad++ has an option to specify UNIX line endings.
I also have a simple script to enable OTG which I called enableotg, again MUST have UNIX line endings.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/bcmpmu_otg_xceiv/host
Connect to the Fire TV Stick via adb and run the following commands
Code:
adb push factoryadb.sh /sdcard/
adb push enableotg /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mkdir /etc/init.d
cp /sdcard/factoryadb.sh /system/bin/
cp /sdcard/enableotg /etc/init.d/
chown 0:0 /system/bin/factoryadb.sh /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/enableotg
chmod 755 /system/bin/factoryadb.sh /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/enableotg
mount -o remount,ro /system
reboot
When the FireTV Stick has rebooted then reconnect via adb and run the following commands
Code:
adb shell
su
dmesg | grep -e factoryadb -e Executing -e bcmpmu
You should see something similar to
Code:
<6>[ 3.005279] bcmpmu_otg_xceiv bcmpmu_otg_xceiv: Probing started...
<6>[ 3.007690] bcmpmu_otg_xceiv bcmpmu_otg_xceiv: Probing successful
<3>[ 4.998016] init: Warning! Service factoryadb needs a SELinux domain defined; please fix!
<4>[ 5.573242] Executing /etc/init.d/enableotg ...
<6>[ 5.579040] bcmpmu_otg_xceiv bcmpmu_otg_xceiv: Switching to Host
All is working and OTG should be working about 5 seconds after leaving the TWRP screen and long before Android has finished booting.
If you have an ethernet dongle attached it should have an IP address before the launcher starts
NOTE: The SELinux warning can be safely ignored.
Hope this helps.

Nicely done. Clever using the missing factoryadb.sh to roll your own init.d.
Might be easier for some if you just upload/attach your factoryadb.sh and enableotg files that others can download, so there's no need to worry about proper UNIX line endings.

Worked nicely on one of my gen 1 sticks running 5.2.4.1_r2.

OTG works for USB pendrive?

Doh! Completely missed the section to "Attach Files" when I was writing the post
I've now added a zip file with the 2 scripts with UNIX line endings to the post.
Cheers

Awesome job figuring out this was possible! I can confirm the init.d part works just fine on the FireTV-v1 on Rbox v5.2.4.1_r2 (didn't test OTG scripts as I already have a full USB port).
I am going to be adding in your init.d support to my Playing with Fire MOD for the next release.
Now just got to get PS3 / Xbox One controller kernel plugins compiled and working for the Gen1 devices now that init.d works. :good:

I tried this on fire tv stick 1, usb storage does not work.
dmesg shows my Kingston USB pendrive being recognized by kernel,
but registered driver debus_usbdev ?
So I guess kernel doesn't have USB storage driver?

Does this enable the use of USB storage ? as ive had this setup for over 6 months now to enable usb pheripal support on boot (with a script booter). If not i guess its still good to do away with the extra apk i had installed to enable my script at boot.

What does this actually do? My FireTV already can read from usb drives.

Seems mainly for gen 1 sticks to enable usb peripherals. Each boot requires a command to be re-run to recognize usb keyboards, mice, wired networking port, etc. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this configuration could in-theory assign multiple scripts to run on boot without extra apps installed.

Yes Gen2 sticks and the main FireTV's seem to have OTG already enabled but Gen1 sticks don't.
However even though I've only specified enabling OTG in my initial post, as Axecaster mentioned I do in fact have a number of scripts in /etc/init.d that run on boot.
e.g. Set SELinux to Permissive, set full R/W access on the recovery directories, cleanup some temp files on boot etc
I'm currently checking to see if I can set a static IP on the USB Ethernet adapter I use with my Gen1 stick which will most likely result in a new script in /etc/init.d
I also need to investigate the USB storage options more though. Might be the same issue as I'm having with NFS mounts. I can mount an NFS share but currently only root can see it!
Hope this helps.

Have you checked or modified your "persist-usb-config" file yet? If your's has different values than this (from a FireTV-Box) edit it to match mine and see if that helps.
Code:
[email protected]:/ # cat /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config
diag,serial_smd,serial_tty,rmnet_bam,mass_storage,adb
As for your NFS shares issue you are going to need to do a Bind Mount to get non-root users able to access the directory. Im using the same bind-mount method to get a bunch of additional GApps installed on the FireTV by binding folders in /data/local/ --> /system/priv-app and using your /etc/init.d/ discovery to launch it automatically on boot.
[email protected]: # mkdir /data/local/nfs && chmod 0755 /data/local/nfs && chown 0:0 /data/local/nfs
init.d startup script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
NFSPATH=/path/to/nfs
NFSDATA=/data/local/nfs
(mount -o bind $NFSPATH $NFSDATA) ; (mount -o remount nosuid,nodev,noexec,reltime,async $NFSPATH)

Result:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # cat /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config
[B]adb[/B][email protected]:/ #
I pulled the file, replaced "adb" with "iag,serial_smd,serial_tty,rmnet_bam,mass_storage,adb", pushed it back and rebooted the device.
Result: ADB is disabled and otg doesn't seem to work (usb flash drive)
Enabling ADB sets the file back to "adb" and after a reboot otg is working again.

after installing xposed framework on the fire tv stick this method for otg on boot not longer works.
any solutions?

Hmm. I installed this method after xposed framework. As far as I'm aware, everything seems to be working.

So only setup your scripts after you are done flashing a PreRooted ROM &/or SuperSU &/or XPosed Framework. So in other words only after your done messing with things that mess with /System in TWRP. Or you will have to reset them again.

Hi SimLynks,
Thanks for your suggestion. The bind mount did make the directory available for the non-root user but unfortunately it's contents were still only visible to the root user
I'll keep on trying
Cheers.

[UPDATE #1] I've added a zip file with the 2 scripts, with UNIX line endings , as suggested below by AFTVNews. Cheers.
[UPDATE #2] I've added a zip file with the 2 extra scripts to go into /etc/init.d, as requested by Axecaster. These will need the same ownership and permissions as enableotg. They disable SELinux and set the permissions on the recovery directories. Cheers.
Having had a look around the android image on my Fire TV Stick (v1) [FireOS 5.2.1.1 rbox] I found that a script, which doesn't exist, called /system/bin/factoryadb.sh was being run by /init.build.rc on boot.
I was able to create a simple script to run scripts in /etc/init.d on boot.
NOTE: I've only tested this on a 1st generation Fire TV Stick but may work on Fire TV boxes if they also call /system/bin/factoryadb.sh from /init.build.rc
Before you do this please make sure factoryadb.sh is NOT on your FireTV and that it is called from /init.build.rc by connecting to your FireTV via adb and running the following commands
Code:
adb shell
su
grep factoryadb /init.build.rc && ls -l /system/bin/factoryadb.sh
Hopefully this will return
Code:
service factoryadb /system/bin/factoryadb.sh
/system/bin/factoryadb.sh: No such file or directory
Now continue ...
My factoryadb.sh script
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Execute all scripts in /etc/init.d
if [ -d /etc/init.d ]
then
for f in `ls /etc/init.d/* 2>/dev/null`
do
if [ -s ${f} ]
then
echo Executing ${f} ... >/dev/kmsg
/system/bin/sh ${f}
fi
done
fi
NOTE: Make sure this file has UNIX line endings only. Notepad++ has an option to specify UNIX line endings.
I also have a simple script to enable OTG which I called enableotg, again MUST have UNIX line endings.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/bcmpmu_otg_xceiv/host
Connect to the Fire TV Stick via adb and run the following commands
Code:
adb push factoryadb.sh /sdcard/
adb push enableotg /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mkdir /etc/init.d
cp /sdcard/factoryadb.sh /system/bin/
cp /sdcard/enableotg /etc/init.d/
chown 0:0 /system/bin/factoryadb.sh /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/enableotg
chmod 755 /system/bin/factoryadb.sh /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/enableotg
mount -o remount,ro /system
reboot
When the FireTV Stick has rebooted then reconnect via adb and run the following commands
Code:
adb shell
su
dmesg | grep -e factoryadb -e Executing -e bcmpmu
You should see something similar to
Code:
<6>[ 3.005279] bcmpmu_otg_xceiv bcmpmu_otg_xceiv: Probing started...
<6>[ 3.007690] bcmpmu_otg_xceiv bcmpmu_otg_xceiv: Probing successful
<3>[ 4.998016] init: Warning! Service factoryadb needs a SELinux domain defined; please fix!
<4>[ 5.573242] Executing /etc/init.d/enableotg ...
<6>[ 5.579040] bcmpmu_otg_xceiv bcmpmu_otg_xceiv: Switching to Host
All is working and OTG should be working about 5 seconds after leaving the TWRP screen and long before Android has finished booting.
If you have an ethernet dongle attached it should have an IP address before the launcher starts
NOTE: The SELinux warning can be safely ignored.
Hope this helps.

Can this be used in some way to enable otg while at the TWRP countdown bar ( as to use keyboard/mouse/airmouse within TWRP), As it's a whole lot easier to use than the ADB mouse, having to plug firestick into laptop/computer if you need to be in recovery, if it is possible it could be easier.
I use the airmouse/keyboard method myself when I go I to recovery but have to use my home made otg cable and swap over usb to computer after running the command to usb dongle for the airmouse (melee F10 pro). After the command has run while plugged into my laptop I unplug the laptop connection and plug in my dongle and I navigate TWRP with my remote.

It is any chance that we can enable OTG on no-rooted devices of firetv gen 1 ?I have firmware 5.2.6.7 so I think there is no way I can root the device. Thanks!

Sorry. Unfortunately you need root access to change the OTG value on the FireTV gen 1
