Alpha5.1 — battery getter and clean-build fixes

Kernel source: d810c755d21c6345782947c6dc978cc455df8e73.
Helpers and updated investigation notes: c18c9846498862fe38369cf694748dce644df767.
Built locally with the verified Neutron Clang 18 archive. Kernel/module release string remains 4.14.364-NetHunter-VST-Alpha5.

Changes

  • Return ENODATA for two write-only Samsung battery controls instead of exposing uninitialized integers. Setters and charging limits are preserved.
  • Fix clean O= builds: embed firmware generated from tracked .ihex files from the output directory; retain source paths for prebuilt blobs. Track the source firmware Makefile as a wrapper dependency.
  • Pass host linker options only at link time; correct const handling in modpost.
  • Emit the bpfilter link warning only when bpfilter is enabled. No networking capability was disabled by this change.

Checked on this binary

On SM-A515F, EvolutionX Android16 and Magisk30.7: boot, root, charging, matching slcan, automatic statsd startup and battery-recorder restart passed. Both battery-control reads now return ENODATA and uevent omits the arbitrary values. Ramdisk, DTB and boot parameters were preserved. The normal Magisk skip_initramfs replacement was retained.

Raw Image SHA256: da2d33d2c22e5494541f6dbb1b98adbc780adaabcda94b4333454a54a95d644f.
After first unlock on this hotfix, the user confirmed Termux works and TikTok opened on the first attempt in about 20 seconds. Slow startup and previously recorded late native crashes remain open. This is a prerelease, not certification for other phones or ROMs.

A 1200MiB/10-minute TCP Wi-Fi transfer passed checksum with a stable HAL before this hotfix reboot; that is a test of the preceding Alpha5 binary. The vendor LLS ABI remains a workaround.

Included

AnyKernel ZIP, raw Image, effective config, matching slcan/br_netfilter modules, nine Magisk packages, helper/audit/source-patch tools, BUILD_INFO and SHA256SUMS.
Evolution services.jar and TTMod native overlays require matching local inputs and are not bundled. Phone images, app libraries, private logs and SD backups are not published.

Still open

  • TTMod has two recorded late native crashes after the visibility workaround. The updated developer report identifies ART Class::SetStatus; initialization/publication race is a hypothesis. This kernel does not claim to fix that app bug.
  • Background battery use still needs controlled idle comparison; the battery getter fix alone is not a battery-life claim.
  • Powered-off charging/watchdog test was deferred; RAM, long-term radio/Wi-Fi and chroot lifecycle tests continue.
  • The matching ROM NetworkTraffic source patch is prepared, not compiled. The compact runtime indicator remains applied; LiveBoot colors and logging are preserved.

GitHub Actions is manual-only. The attempted hosted run was rejected before any runner started because of the account's billing lock; this release was built and verified locally.

Separate terminal add-on, 2026-10-06

VST-NetHunter-Terminal-Fix-Alpha5.1-r2.zip updates only the SD/terminal Magisk
module (versionCode5012), from source commit579c2e0e1. Its separate .zip.sha256
file verifies the add-on; the original eight release assets are unchanged.
This add-on checks chroot terminfo and retains a controlling PTY for explicitly
selected interactive programs. Kali/ANDRAX/Stryker shell Ctrl+C, quoted arguments,
file fsync/reread and local-network tests passed.

Kali PowerShell7.6.6 was installed separately on the inspected phone from the
official Microsoft ARM64 archive, preserving the old install and user profile.
It is not included in this add-on. Version/profile/file/hash tests passed; its
interactive Ctrl+C still failed the interruption timing check and remains open.

An incoming call also exposed162 fallback com.android.dialer crashes when Koler
held the DIALER role. Koler was retained at the user's request; no call-UI or
permission-bypass fix is claimed. See docs/CHROOT_VALIDATION.md and OPEN_ISSUES.

Recommended terminal add-on: terminal3

Use VST-NetHunter-Terminal-Fix-Alpha5.1-r3.zip (versionCode5013), source
commitdc2942fb9, instead of the earlier terminal2 add-on. It additionally fixes
new PTY allocation inside Kali/ANDRAX/Stryker: the single-file legacy ptmx bind
is replaced by a chroot-local pts/ptmx symlink, with Android permissions intact.
Python openpty/data exchange and nested util-linux script/Bash Ctrl+C passed
in all three roots. The 30-second sleep was interrupted in about0.35seconds
and the next command completed. These fixes were applied to the inspected phone
without reflashing or another reboot. PowerShell-specific Ctrl+C remains open.
The original kernel and other eight assets are unchanged.

VSTHunterKernel v2.0-Alpha5 — A51 fixes

@ValentinStars ValentinStars released this 05 Oct 20:04

VSTHunterKernel v2.0-Alpha5 — A51 fixes

Prerelease tested on a rooted SM-A515F / universal9611, Evolution X Android
16, Magisk 30.7. Other phones/ROMs are not validated by this session.

Changes

  • Use the extracted effective Alpha4 configuration as the build baseline.
    Clear the forced fatal-init/recovery and diagnostic-suppression cmdline.
  • Disable SCSC link-layer statistics by default to avoid the observed vendor
    Wi-Fi HAL rate-statistics decoding crash. Statistics telemetry is unavailable.
  • Fix a preemptible per-CPU networking read without suppressing kernel warnings.
  • Restore the earlier SIOP charging limits and remove a defective wakelock-name
    filter. Battery life and offline charging still require measurement.
  • Correct compiler metadata, align module vermagic, include required firmware
    with checksums/licenses, and fail builds when prerequisites/artifacts are absent.
  • Serialize SD image mounting and chroot preparation. Remove duplicate automatic
    fsck hooks and the exFAT checker bypass. Preserve shell arguments and the root
    account's login shell. Allocate a controlling PTY for interactive Magisk sessions.
  • Make Chroot Manager status/export work with the canonical SD-image mount.
    Exports exclude Android mounts and refuse active sessions. Directory restore
    and removal are unsupported for the image-backed rootfs.
  • Correct custom module scripts: no unconditional VPN forwarding, no recursive
    SDR device permission rewrite, validate Wi-Fi operations, report USB OTG
    status instead of writing unrelated charging controls, retain real hardware identity.
  • Set kernel/runtime hostname to VST. Inspected chroot hostname files were
    updated with backups on the phone.

ROM-specific soft-reboot fix

The observed ComputerEngine.canHideApp -> getNameForUid recursion was patched
with a local Magisk overlay. The workaround disables Evolution app hiding.
The phone booted with the overlay and passed on-device DEX verification.

The kernel ZIP and module bundle do not contain this ROM overlay.
tools/alpha5/patch_services.py generates it from the owner's matching local
services.jar. Instructions and the inspected input hash are in
tools/alpha5/README.md. The ROM jar and private boot/SD backups are not published.

Session results and remaining work

Report Result
Random soft reboots Observed framework recursion bypassed; short observation without another crash; long-term check pending
Termux after reboot Orphan Termux X11 shared UID removed with backup; user confirms Termux works
SIM after reboot User confirms network works; repeated outgoing-call validation remains
Battery drain Unsafe power changes removed; unplugged baseline comparison pending
Random watchdog Forced fatal init settings removed; separate watchdog reproduction pending
Offline charging watchdog User deferred physical test
Wi-Fi LAN drops Statistics workaround; 96 MiB short LAN checksum test passed
RAM drops Baseline recorded; no leak fix claimed
TikTok / Exteragram TTMod SDK 36 visibility-hook workaround passed five cold starts; Anti-Spoiler disabled reversibly for Exteragram ANR; long-term app validation remains
Kali SD I/O Full 15 GiB backup, offline metadata repair, clean recheck, 32 MiB fsync/direct-read checksum test passed
Ctrl+C ends terminals PTY tests passed for Kali/ANDRAX/Stryker launchers; app-specific confirmation remains
Logcat errors Concrete framework/Wi-Fi/Termux causes addressed; logcat is not expected to be globally empty
Chroot Manager Canonical status, mount ownership and safe image export fixed; directory install lifecycle not supported for mounted image
nh shell/profile mismatch Same canonical root and configured login shell; no P10K configuration invented
Hostname VST Kernel/runtime and inspected rootfs hostname files updated
Custom modules/programs Scripts corrected and nine module ZIPs rebuilt; application-specific issues remain as above
Alpha5 release Kernel/source/module artifacts published as a prerelease

Install and rollback

For the tested A51 setup, retain a verified original boot backup and use the
AnyKernel kernel ZIP through the existing compatible installation method.
Install selected module ZIPs through Magisk and reboot. The SD helper is
specific to the inspected UUID/image/root paths; review it before use elsewhere.
The included slcan.ko and br_netfilter.ko match Alpha5, not other kernel releases.

The local framework workaround is a separate installation. Disable its module
vst_evolution_pm_fix from recovery/root if rollback is needed. Source scripts
keep inspected original app hooks under /data/adb/vst-alpha5-backup.
Do not restore the old automatic live-fsck or fake exFAT checker hooks.

Phone-specific boot images and user data are excluded. Published SHA256SUMS
covers all release assets except the checksum file itself.

TikTok follow-up

A fresh Alpha5 crash reproduced the ART SetupClass failure with the hook pointer
inside the installed libttmod.so. This matches the optional LSPlant visibility
hook failure reported in LSPlant issue 179.
The local workaround disables two optional symbol lookups for the exact inspected
library only. Five cold app starts survived without new native crashes.
patch_tiktok_lib.py generates a local Magisk overlay; no third-party library or
APK is redistributed. Normal use and long-duration validation are still needed.

Artifact provenance

Kernel source: b2bf926e0; Magisk bundle: 83fdd55a6; helper sources: b258e2828. Follow-up helper fixes are included in the prerelease assets; the original tag is retained. See BUILD_INFO.txt and SHA256SUMS.

After the final reboot, the corrected TTMod library hash was verified and the user confirmed TikTok opened on its first attempt. Longer normal-use observation remains necessary.
