I have already discussed how to unpack/repack the boot.img file.
Now let's try to recompile the android kernel.
You will need some packages not included in a default Ubuntu 11.04 installation:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git unrar libncurses5-dev qt3-dev-tools
Unrar and git are the only necessary packages.
Install libncurses if you want to modify the kernel configuration with the command line menu.
Otherwise, if you want a graphical interface, go with qt3.
Please refer to the documentation of your linux distro for help on how to install additional packages.
For the purpose of this guide we are going to rebuild the official asus kernel with no modifications.
Download the latest kernel source from the ASUS site (atm 2.6.36.3)
Code:
wget http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/Eee_PAD_TF101_Kernel_Code_8_4_4_11.rar
Now unpack it:
Code:
unrar e Eee_PAD_TF101_Kernel_Code_8_4_4_11.rar
tar xvfz kernel-3eb19ec-fix-lic.tar.gz
We need a config file for the compile process.
The config file essentially sets features ON or OFF from the final kernel (yes, I know that is much more than this...).
If your tablet is upgraded to the latest build (8.4.4.11) you can extract the config file from your running device:
Code:
adb pull /proc/config.gz ./
Or you can find it attached to this post (the forum won't allow to upload a .gz file, so i made a .zip file; use unzip instead of gunzip).
Now uncompress and move it into the kernel dir (renaming it in .config).
Code:
gunzip config.gz
cp config kernel-3eb19ec/.config
Now the not-so-fun part.
We will need a compiler for the arm platform.
The android source comes with the arm compiler. You can download it following this instructions http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html .
The only problem is that the repository is about 2.6GB...
So we are going to download only the prebuilt toolchain (1,8GB):
Code:
git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/prebuilt.git
After git finishes his download, you will have a new directory called "toolchain".
We have to set some environment variables (i assume you have downloaded the toolchain in your home directory):
Code:
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
export PATH=$PATH:~/toolchain/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/
Ok, the compiler is installed and configured.
It's time to come back to the kernel source.
If you want to modify some settings in your config file (!!AT YOUR OWN RISK!!) you can edit the .config file or use a graphical interface.
Code:
cd kernel-3eb19ec
make xconfig (make menuconfig if you prefer a command-line menu)
Now we can compile the android kernel:
Code:
make -j4
Our new kernel is stored in : arch/arm/boot/zImage
We can use it for make a boot image and flash in our TF101 (use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193737)
Let me say this again: I'm not an expert in android kernel/compiler.
If you find something wrong with this guide, please tell me.
I've learned this with google and by trial and error.
If you brick something don't blame on me.
If you want to hit "thanks", you're welcome.
Have Fun!
Pulling out config.gz you will get the current kernel configuration...it could not fit the stock kernel..

Of course the kernel source has to be exactly the same version as the running kernel for this to work.
In this example, the source and running kernel were both 2.6.36.3 (build 8.4.4.11).
For use an older .config (or a newer source tree), we should run:
Code:
make oldconfig
to adapt them (...kinda).
Thanks for point this out.
I was eventually planning on making this guide, good work!

This is a possibility if anything in the config changes from the kernel you're running in the actual source Asus has posted
I've always done the following:
Code:
make tegra_defconfig
make
I haven't actually checked to see if this is up to date with a running kernel, just noticed Asus pops up a few times in there.
Actually this is the default TF101 config: tf101_defconfig
Thanks for the guides. These are really helpful -

I'm getting this set of errors. I've built and modified many linux kernels, so I'm guessing this is in the toolchain area, and am wondering if it needs to know something else for where to look at dynamic load libraries, etc?
I created a shell script to setup / export the shell environment vars. It looks like this:
Code:
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
export PATH=$PATH:~/sandbox/android-sdk-linux_x86/toolchain/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/
I'm using a PC I use for work ARM cross compiles that is 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10.

The toolchain has everything it needs for compile the kernel.
The problem seems to be your 64 bit...
The arm compiler is built against 32bit version of glibc library; I think you already have a multilib environment (you have a /lib32 dir). Maybe the 32bit verion of the glibc is not the correct version.
Try this command:
Code:
ldd ~/sandbox/android-sdk-linux_x86/toolchain/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-gcc
And look what it says for the libc.so.6. In my system it says it is located in /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6. So if I run it:
Code:
$ /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

This is for 2.6.36.3 but seems way older. It says "Fri Mar 25 19:50:17 2011".
Maybe it's from an old build?
The last ASUS config (the one attached to the first post) is "Mon Jul 11 14:47:43 2011".
Brilliant!
I had problems cloning using the git protocol because of a corporate firewall, but the HTTP method worked fine:
Code:
http://android.git.kernel.org/platform/prebuilt.git
I also found the the toolchain with the Android NDK failed to build the kernel but the one linked to in the OP worked perfectly.

Yes, I have tried this also, with the same result.
Someone said that the codesourcery compiler can compile the android kernel.
I have tried, it compiles all, but when i flash on the tablet it stucks on the boot screen.
Initially I wrote the guide using this compiler (it's smaller and has a graphical installer), when i realized that it doesn't work , i switched back to the android official compiler.
If someone want to try with the codesourcery compiler here's the (unsuccessful) process I have used:
!!ATTENTION!!: ATM THIS DOESN'T WORK
An easier (and somewhat faster) way is downloading the Code Sorcery's "Code Bench" compiler (http://www.codesourcery.com/) and install it.
Code:
wget http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/package8741/public/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-2011.03-41-arm-none-linux-gnueabi.bin
This compiler need some extra packages to work in Ubuntu:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev valgrind
For some reason, in Ubuntu 11.04 the /bin/sh link refer to the dash shell and not bash.
The compiler's installer will comply for this, so we do as follows:
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow dash
and when it asks to use dash as the default shell, click on "NO"
Code:
sh arm-2011.03-41-arm-none-linux-gnueabi.bin
Leave all the default options. The installer will copy the files in your home directory.
We should set some environmet variables:
Code:
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
export PATH=$PATH:~/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_G++_Lite/bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then continue with the guide from the "make xconfig".
If someone can make it work with this compiler, could be so gentle to tell us how?

It looks like with 9.10 Ubuntu, (backporting something from 10 or 11.x notwithstanding), I can't easily get to GLIBC 2.11 from GLIBC 2.10.x. Thanks. I'll put together an 11.x VM for this task.
For 64bit machines, you might need to do the following?
apt-get install ia32-libs

Thanks, I managed to download a ARM toolchain from their site that works fine with Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit.
Whether or not it'll run when I try to install a kernel is another question, but it builds without problem and produces ARM code.

Wow can't believe I found this thread. I just want to confirm that I'm also having a horrible time with the code sourcery toolchain trying to compile the android kernel, the moto atrix kernel specifically. The zimage compiles, but flashing to the device it just hangs.
So im currently downloading the official android toolchain.
Also some learned knowledge for everybody, the correct code sourcery toolchain supposedly android equivalent is arm-none-linux-gnueabi-, NOT the arm-none-eabi- or any of the others. This info is very hard to find fyi.
However as this thread seems to prove, even using the correct one doesn't exactly work.
Hi,
I'm trying to build the stock Memo Pad smart(ME301t) stock kernel 10.6.1.29 downloaded directly from asus.
I used 4.3.3 to 4.7 toolchains with similar results(give or take some deprecated compiler arguments).
What I really want to know is why I'm getting a lot of warnings(NOT ERRORS), some of them are minor errors like "unused function" and some of them are major warnings breaking function functionality. Some of the builds don't even boot.
What toolchain should I use with this kernel?
Why a stock kernel(from asus) should produce warnings at the first place?
I'm on linux BTW.
The Sony-Kitakami dev team is glad to announce a guide on how to build CM13 or any CM13 based ROM for the entire Z5- series
Note: If you plan to release a ROM using our sources then credits aren't required, however we would deffinately appriciate it very much!
Before we get started
What you need
Any of our supported devices
A PC that is capable of running linux
An Internet connection
And lots of lots of patience
Getting started
Setting up Linux
To be able to build a ROM fully from source a Linux based operating system is required. This is due to the fact that windows is unable to compile the android source code due to lacking tools/libaries. After all you're compiling Linux on Linux (Because android is Linux). We strongly recommend to have AT LEAST 50 GB of space for Ubuntu!!!
Please be aware that this guide is target audiences with Ubuntu specifically and so may not work on other distros. Because of this we prefer ubuntu for everyone that is coming from windows.
Because this guide isn't about how to install ubuntu, I'll let this guide explain all for you : http://www.linuxtechi.com/ubuntu-15-10-desktop-installation-guide/
Installing the required packages
We will start off by downloading openjdk 7 (Note: Open JDK 8 isn't supported by CM yet).
Please open the terminal and enter or copy paste the following :
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
After entering the password (Note: you won't be able to see any output when typing the password) hit enter and then type "y" and hit enter again.
Once this is completed we will download the required packages. Please copy paste the following into your terminal :
Code:
sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential
zip curl zlib1g-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib libc6-dev-i386
lib32ncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32z-dev ccache
libgl1-mesa-dev libxml2-utils xsltproc unzip maven schedtool
You may have to enter your password again after hitting enter. Once that is done enter "y" again and hit enter again.
Additionally you can set up ccache by entering the following into the terminal :
Code:
echo 'export USE_CCACHE=1' >> ~/.bashrc
after this has been done, restart your PC.
Then we will set up git. Replace "Your name" with your name and "[email protected]" with your email :
Code:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
Now we will need to set up the repo tool. Copy the following into the terminal:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin && PATH=~/bin:$PATH && echo 'PATH=~/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc && curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo && chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Guides
CyanogenMod 13
Getting the CM13 source
Start out by making a directory called cm13 in your home dir by running the following command :
Code:
mkdir ~/cm13/
Now we will initialize the CM13 repository by entering the following in your terminal :
Code:
cd ~/cm13/ && repo init -u https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-13.0
We are now coming to the worst part and that is downloading the entire 20GB big CM13 source code. To sync the source code, run the following command :
Code:
repo sync
And now wait.... and wait..... and wait....... until it's done
Getting the Z5/Z5C/Z5P source
To clone the device specific source code we'll have to introduce you to some of the codenames as those are used for simplifying reasons when building from source
Code:
NAME CODENAME
Sony Xperia Z5 sumire
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact suzuran
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium satsuki
We will start off by cloning the appropriate manifests for your device. Please enter the following and make sure to replace yourdevicecodename with your device codename :
Code:
cd ~/cm13/ && git clone https://github.com/Sony-Kitakami/android_.repo_local_manifests.git -b cm-13.0-yourdevicecodename .repo/local_manifests
Now we will sync our device specific source like this :
Code:
repo sync --force-sync
This could again take some time depending on your connection as the kernel source is quite heavy.
Building the ROM
We will now get to the big part, which is compiling. Note this could take from 1 hour to more than 10 hours depending on how good your PC is. Replace yourdevicecodename with your targeted device codename.
Please copy the following to your terminal line by line
Code:
cd ~/cm13/
cd .repo/local_manifests/ && git pull && cd ../.. && repo sync --force-sync
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch
cm_yourdevicecodename-userdebug
mka clobber
mka bacon
After a long time of waiting you should be done and your CyanogenMod package should be located in home/cm13/out/target/product/yourdevicecodename/
Congratulations! You have now build your very own CM13 ROM from source!
CyanogenMod 13 based ROMs
If you are planning to build a CM13 based or similar ROM (Bliss Pop, RR, Slim etc.), we're expecting you to be a more advanced user. As much as we would like to give a strict guide, we simply can't cover all as there are always differences between each and every ROM.
You will have to start off by downloading the ROM source. Again this should be similar to CM but the git links are different.
Ex:
Code:
RR = repo init -u [url]https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/platform_manifest.git[/url] -b marshmallow
Bliss = repo init -u [url]https://github.com/BlissRoms/platform_manifest.git[/url] -b mm6.0
and much more. Most of them can be found on the ROMs official git team under the platform_manifest repo.
Here is where things get hard. You will have to edit our manifests and adjust them to work with your target ROM. This is nearly impossible to explain as each ROM contains different repos that may overlap with the CM ones or it may lack repos that you're trying to remove. In other words, you will need to learn how to use the local manifests. A nice guide exists here https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_Using_manifests
Once this is done you will have to adjust your device tree to work with your specific ROM. Again this is always different. The best way to learn is to compare a CM tree with a tree from a different ROM
Ex:
Samsung Galaxy S5 mini tree for CyanogenMod : https://github.com/cm-3470/android_device_samsung_kminilte
Samsugn Galaxy S5 mini tree for BlissPop : https://github.com/cm-3470/android_device_samsung_kminilte/tree/bosp-6
The main differences are the cm.mk or device.mk files etc.
Here is a commit that show the transfer from CM to Bliss Pop which usually isn't very hard
https://github.com/cm-3470/android_...mmit/5e902e7dd228c6804b2735af9a96ea02969aa2cf
Once this is completed you can run your build and release it!

Thanks for posting the guide
I followed the steps, but got stuck at the command: "cd ~/cm13/ && git clone [email protected]:Sony-Kitakami/android_.repo_local_manifests.git -b cm-13.0-sumire"
It returned this to me:

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
EDIT: Never mind, I investigated, and found out that I had to generate an SSH key and link that to my GitHub account. If anyone needs help with this, I used this guide: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-an-ssh-key/

Hey, sorry for that. I had git set to ssh like and forgot that they require a keygen. I've changed it to https://github.com/Sony-Kitakami/android_.repo_local_manifests.git -b cm-13.0-yourdevicecodename so it no longer needs a key
Actually, is you are building CM13 and using Ubuntu 14.04 or up, you just need to type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils make zlib1g-dev:i386 zip
Okay, I hit another bump. When I type: "cd .repo/local_manifests/ && git pull && cd ../.. && repo sync --force-sync"
It returns:
bash: cd: .repo/local_manifests/: No such file or directory

Yay, that worked! However, I got to the "cm_yourdevicecodename-userdebug" line, so I entered "cm_sumire-userdebug", but that returned: "cm_sumire-userdebug: command not found"

It doesn't work for me with v4, or v5a
Using the guide posted here, nothing changed only updated to v5a manually.
I haven't bothered to look through the log yet, bur it says camera hardware inaccessible or something like that I forget the exact wording. With v4 and v5a, I even downloaded the source again to make sure it wasn't a problem on my end.
I'll try and have a proper look tomorrow

Yeah, we kinda apologize for that. My linux environment has broken hard after upgrading to ubloatu, i mean Ubuntu 16.04... I'm busy updating to debian now, and will most likely stick with debian jessie as sid and stretch ended in an huge catastrophy. Thanks to @moonbutt74 for not warning me. (<- Only a joke, he actually predictied that sid will be a catastrophy but I didn't listen cuz that's me). I'll also most likely need to update the guide too as we no longer prefer/recommend ubuntu 16.04

@celderic
did you do any modifications to the repos ?
If not did the kernel built with the ROM work for you ?
Thanks
edit:
v04 and v05a binary blobs are the same for us (Kitakami)
Changes in v05a was for kanuti, rhine, shinano and yukon

Sorry been on holiday not had time to reply on here, oh I didn't realise they where the same for our device.
I didn't modify the repos, and yes the stock cm kernel booted fine.
openjdk-7 isnt available under ubuntu 16.04. Is 8 or 9 supported yet or do I have to manually install v7?
Gerrit 2.12.2 Setup with Github Sign in
NOTE: Would be good if you follow the guide in a root environment.
Code:
sudo -i
So What is Gerrit?
If you want to know anything else about gerrit then head over to http://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/
So lets jump right into setting up gerrit.
1. Getting together everything you need.
2. Getting system ready for installation.
3. Putting together everything and installing gerrit
Section 1: Getting together everything needed
First of you need to make sure have JDK 7 installed on the system.
If you do not have it installed, then:
Code:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
When you do
Code:
java -version
You should see something like OpenJDK 1.7
If not, do this:
Code:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
And select 1.7
Next download the Gerrit and Github oauth files
Tip: Use
Code:
wget <url>
Gerrit: Latest Releases
Gerrit (What i am using for the tutorial) : 2.12.2
Github oauth library (for 2.12.): github-oauth-2.12-SNAPSHOT.jar
Gerrit Github Plugin: github-plugin-2.12-SNAPSHOT.jar
Note: Visit here for the github plugin and lib if you have a newer gerrit version
Last BUT MOST IMPORTANT
Make sure that you have registered a website domain (like with godaddy.com). Make sure the your dns zone file points your URL to the IP of the machine or server you will be using for gerrit. Or if not, you may use an ip of the vps or something.
Section 2: Getting system ready for installation.
Add Gerrit user and group to the system
Code:
sudo useradd gerrit && groupadd gerrit
cd /home
mkdir gerrit
chown -R gerrit:gerrit gerrit
Once you add the user go to the gerrit directory /home/gerrit and create a folder plugins and a folder lib
Code:
mkdir lib && mkdir plugins
Setup the database and mysql user
Hope you have mysql server installed and secured. If not, go here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-14-04
Code:
mysql -p
CREATE USER 'gerrit'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
CREATE DATABASE reviewdb;
GRANT ALL ON reviewdb.* TO 'gerrit'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Note: Replace yourpassword with a suitable password everywhere in the guide lol
Copying files (downloaded above) to the proper location
Code:
cp /root/gerrit-2.12.2.war /home/gerrit
cp /root/github-oauth-2.12-SNAPSHOT.jar /home/gerrit/lib
cp /root/github-plugin-2.12-SNAPSHOT.jar /home/gerrit/plugins
Install to git programs onto the system
Code:
sudo apt-get install gitweb
sudo apt-get install git-review
Getting Github ready for gerrit
Setup a new github account for example xosgerrit as a github account
Once you are signed into gerrit under your new Github account go into settings.
If your setting up for team use be sure to add new github account to the team organization!!!!
Next click on the applications...If your doing team click on the organization then on application.
Put in your url to your new gerrit site that you setup in the begining.
If you need visual support for this step @pjgraber03 have a couple pictures
Picture 1
Picuture 2
Section 3: Putting together everything and installing Gerrit
Now you should have everything together that you need to get gerrit up and running.
Initiating Gerrit for this first time
you will need to change into the gerrit directory that you created earlier.
once in the gerrit directory you will need to run the following command
Code:
sudo java -jar gerrit*.war init
That will open up into the Gerrit initialisation screen which will look something like this....
The following are just my options....You may wish to change at some point
Code:
[email protected]:~$ sudo java -jar gerrit*.war init

After that gerrit should only need one last thing
cd in /home and run
Code:
sudo chown -R gerrit:gerrit gerrit
this will make all the files in the gerrit folder become owned by the gerrit user/group
Starting gerrit
Once back inside /home/gerrit
run....
Code:
sudo bin/gerrit.sh start
That will start gerrit.....
NOTE: STOP apache2 if running on same port: sudo service apache2 stop
To stop gerrit or restart gerrit the commands are...
Code:
sudo bin/gerrit.sh stop
or
sudo bin/gerrit.sh restart
All run from /home/gerrit folder
If you run into a FAILED when starting up gerrit you can run
Code:
nano logs/error_log
to read the log file and find out what the error is.
One you get a OK when starting gerrit
go ahead and open you browser and type in your URL.
Setting up Gerrit WebUI
First thing is you need to sign in via github to your gerrit using the gerrit github user that you made in the beginning.
once you do that you need to go to your system and go to the /home/gerrit directory and run this
Code:
sudo su gerrit
ssh-keygen ( just click enter till its done)
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub

Huge credits to @pjgraber03 for putting this all up!
Thanks. I just amended stuff for the newest version.
Are there any differences for 2.12.4 or can we pretty much flow this to the T for the newer version?

Status: Alpha

Just another utility for repacking kernel images.
Based on utilities from Magisk.
Root is needed.
It can be used as a basis for updater.zip patches.
It does not have an interface.
Using:
-- If an image has been transferred for processing, it will be unpacked into a directory located at the same level as the image. Directory name will be
Code:
<image_name>-unpacked
Now you can make the necessary changes to the files. To repack the image, you must pass the same line to the utility as for unpacking. The new image will be on a par with the original and have a name
Code:
new-<image_name>
Usage example:
Code:
/data/local/kpack ./boot.img
/data/local/kpack /data/local/recovery.img
-- If a logical partition is passed for processing, it will be unpacked into a directory
Code:
/dev/kpacktmp/<partition_name>-unpacked
Now you can make the necessary changes to the files. To repackage the image, you must pass the same line to the utility as for unpacking. The new image will be in the directory
Code:
/dev/kpacktmp
and have a name
Code:
new-<partition_name>
Usage example:
Code:
/data/local/kpack /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot
/data/local/kpack /dev/bl*/boo*/by*/recovery
-- If a cpio file is transferred for processing, it will be unpacked into a directory
Code:
<file_name>-unpacked
Now you can make the necessary changes to the files. For repacking in cpio, you must pass the same line to the utility as for unpacking. The new file will be on the same level as the original and have the name
Code:
new-<file_name>
Usage example:
Code:
/data/local/kpack ./ramdisk.cpio
/data/local/kpack /data/local/my-archive.cpio
-- Starting without arguments will display a message that once again reminds you of the ease of use of the utility.
