Eureka Kernel #71 — 2026-10-07 · Samsung A30s (SM-A307F / SM_A307FN)

Charger-boot fix series with the diagnostic instrumentation removed, and all
merged worktree branches folded into rom-crdroid16.

Kernel Linux version 4.4.302-p6-Eureka_rom-crdroid16 … #71 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 7 17:44:40 MSK 2026
Source 2df925e23af4289f27fd140759ae0f1f0769056c on rom-crdroid16
Toolchain Neutron clang 24.0.0git
Target a30s, exynos7885/7904, Android 16 (crDroid 12.12)
Boot image hdr v3, 33,282,048 B, partition by-name/boot = mmcblk0p15 (37,748,736 B)

What's in this build

Kept — behavioural fixes:

  • 32018b584c0c s2mpu08 PMIC CP rail programming
  • f0ed4a9cab22 ACPM boot-CPU probe
  • 9d7b78a561f1 NFC pvdd_en driven unconditionally (the charger-mode NFC fix)
  • 4 × schedtune fixes

Reverted — diagnostic only, no behaviour:

  • dae6e547ecd0 cal/seq index logging
  • 2d907e286829 CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT restored 22 → 19 (512 KB log buffer)
  • 2df925e23af4 sec_nfc lpcharge/gpio instrumentation

Net effect: same behaviour as the previously verified #63, minus the log noise,
with the log buffer back to the shipped size.

dtb.img and dtbo.img are unchanged by this build (dtb.img is
byte-identical to the previous build, dtbo.img is the AVB-keyed prebuilt).
They are published so the set is complete — flash them only if you have a
reason to.

Install

A. AnyKernel3 (recommended) — from OrangeFox/TWRP:

sha256sum -c Eureka-Kernel-a30s-20261007.zip.sha256
# then Flash the zip. It patches only the boot partition; /data is untouched.

The bundled anykernel.sh targets BLOCK=/dev/block/platform/13500000.dwmmc0/by-name/boot
(resolves to /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 — verified on hardware), IS_SLOT_DEVICE=0,
do.devicecheck=0, device.name1=a30s.

B. Raw dd (root shell):

BLK=/dev/block/by-name/boot            # -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
grep -c mmcblk0p15 /proc/mounts        # MUST print 0

dd if=boot.img of=$BLK bs=4096
head -c 33282048 $BLK | md5sum         # must be 627c181146974aca6291090b35634d87

# zero the remainder. NOTE: 33282048 is NOT 4096-aligned (33282048/4096 = 8125.5),
# so seek=ceil(33282048/4096)=8126 would start at 33284096 and leave 2048 stale
# bytes. Use bs=2048, which divides the image size exactly:
#   33282048 = 2048 * 16251   and   37748736 = 2048 * 18432
dd if=/dev/zero of=$BLK bs=2048 seek=16251 count=2181

Always keep a copy of your current boot.img before flashing — the partition
is the only thing that matters for recovery, and OrangeFox can restore it.

Verification (this exact build, flashed and booted)

  • Build gates: boot.img kernel md5 == built Image (c9ee4971…), all content
    gates pass, zero-byte .o = 0, kernel tree clean (0 dirty).
  • Flash: head readback byte-exact, tail all-zero, rollback image intact.
  • On device after reboot:
    • sys.boot_completed=1, kernel reports #71 / rom-crdroid16
    • system_server alive, CPU time advancing across a 10 s sample
    • SystemUI present, WiFi enabled, SIM LOADED, battery 100 % readable
    • no system_server_watchdog entry in the 20 min after boot
    • camera provider stable (pid unchanged across 8 s — no construction crash-loop)

Not part of this verification: the AGC camera application is still WIP and was
not exercised.
