porting B2G to SGS2 GT-I9100G device #215
Comments
Definitely interested in this. Related bug: My Recent blog post on this: |
Hi Arky, I am glad to know that you are interested in this issue. The first step is to flash kernel image built from AOSP source code. |
Last time I used that script for extract to kernel, it spewed loads of errors. Will try to run this tonight. AOSP builds takes me about 3+ nights on my ubuntu computer, if they are not library errors. :( Will keep you posted on this. |
I did more or less the same and ended up with a failing kernel (boot screen with a yellow triangle error icon) There can be many many errors. Is there a way to see some bootlog or anything that would tell me what's wrong ? PS: https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs fails on debian as "grep -P" doesn't work there because they disable perl regexp :( (It might be failing for the same reason on some ubuntu versions) |

The thing is that my device is stuck in this booglog screen with the yellow triangle. The kernel doesn't seem to work at all, so that adb can't connect on my device :( |
@ochameau |
Thanks! I'll give a try to AOSP kernel. Otherwise, do you know any way to get some log messages? Like:
|
Any update on this? Were you able to flash the ASOP kernel? |
You can checkout the source code from my repo located in git@github.com:changyihsin/B2G.git I have tried it on my I9100G with China version firmware I9100GZCKI1. |
@changyihsin Battling build errors :) Switched to your branch, attempting fresh build |
Notice file: external/libpng/NOTICE -- out/host/linux-x86/obj/NOTICE_FILES/src//lib/libpng.a.txt |
Possible workaround for now: Move cts directory from the android source and continued the android sdk build. |
Quick question about clockwork mod. It doesn't work on this device. Can you suggestion alternative kernel or method to back up the stock kernel. |
It worked perfectly on GT-I9100G, consider merging into main samsung builds tree. PS:Used GT-I9100G_ClockworkMod-Recovery-5.0.2.8.tar built by Teamhacksung codeworkx. |

How is the status of this issue? Is it now possible to run B2G on a i1900G? If so, can someone post instructions on how to do it? Maybe we should change the link that points here from Mozilla MDN. |
@niclashoyer Build procedure, |
@changyihsin Have you updated your repo to match the changes in the upstream https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/B2G source tree? |
@changyihsin @arky any update about this? |
@arky @ochameau |
@changyihsin Thank you for doing this. Much appreciated. Please post an comment when you want me to do the build testing. |
SGS2 has several models and uses different hardware platforms. It needs some porting efforts to support B2G on these models.
I have studied some materials from Internet, below are current status about this issue,
The device can be Rooted by flashing the kernel built from below URL.

I also create a rooted initramfs when building the kernel. Following effort will be modifying device related files.
