Help with 1 upstream

[D1stRU3T0R]

Hi guys.
With one guy, who doesn't have Huawei phone, we try to debug why 3.10.90 isn't booting, but logcat seems that everything is okkey, and cat /proc/kmsg and other adb shell commands gives errors. So I try go get a help, could someone upstream the following kernel (3.10.89) to 3.10.90 and make it bootable too ? I tried it for 4 days, modifying ramdisk, etcetc... nothing worked... couldn't debug cuz adb shell wasn't working(i mean it was working, but next commands weren't, i even installed adb insecure ap, usb debugg on etc).
@XTutorials @surdu_petru @haky 86 @XePeleato(if you know somehow ) @DingDongPow or others. Thanks!
https://ufile.io/rvlmk (why no github ? 1. ffs can't even upload it there 2. only when i finish the upstreams)

You must learn to crawl before you can walk.

In the first place you are debugging userspace when the change you made was in the kernel, obviously you aren't catching the error, whatever it is.

Brian Kernighan said:

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

In this case if you don't understand the code, you are obviously not going to be able to debug it.

Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the kernel, it's the only way to learn.

Here I am, days pass noone help... A guy with totally different phone helped me more than actual p8 lite devs, ty... (i understand that some can't help, but the rest?.. Shame)

We just don't have the time to spoonfeed you. We are no tech support nor we have to provide you with support, the shame is that you refuse to actually learn something and just want to compile that damn kernel no matter the cost. It takes like five minutes to someone with enough skill to compile a kernel (it's just running a command).

The sooner you understand that this is out of your league and start with the basics, the better.

It's your choice to take this as advice or as a rant.

We continue here, okey xd

First, i already learned the basics. I know the command to build, but bcs we don't have a source kernel, I'm running from problems to problems.i can solve easy problems, but when not even google heard about it nor other phone devs, it's something interesting.... I know that you aren't a scam tech supp...i mean tech support, but damn, it's soo hard to answer to at least 1 message out of 5? I'm having more help from a stranger, who is pshichologist, and work alot, but still help more than from actuall "friends".. I understand you, no phone no help, XTutorials did everything he could, haky too (somehow). I'm here being ignored bcs I didn't borned with Linux under my as...house. I don't think that it's sooooooooooo hard to answer a question, even a harder one, you won't lose your job or school free time with that "ruined" 2-10 min. This start to be off topic anyways. I already passed these problems. Now i try to work with hakys kernel

 

[XePeleato]

Can you post it here? Any picture or log of that error?

tried to delete that file, more errors...

Which file? There's no need to remove any file, it complains because the toolchain (aarch64-...) isn't in your PATH, so get the toolchain and edit PATH so that the build system can find it

Hmm.. I was watching that... Little chance that there is something wrong, as i know for sure that i modified it to the right path. Will check, maybe gcc is named linux_x86-x64 not only linux_x86 idk, thanks for the hint. (build.sh file)

 

[XePeleato]

Try to run in a Terminal 'aarch64-linux-android-gcc' if it can't find it, then it isn't set properly. It also complains because where you are trying to build it is not clean, Are you building in a different directory? (out/)

K I'll try. Out of directory? Downloaded/extracted to downloads, renamed, (modified), changed build.sh and that's it xd.

 

[XePeleato]

Well, it says it isn't clean so you've tried to compile it without specifying an out directory (make whatever) instead of (make O=out/ whatever)

Actually, I'm using your(i mean hakys kernel, but you fixed his wifi problems) kernel. Will that work on stock?

Oooohhh and i had a problem with config.. It said something config not found for merge_hi6250(p9 right?)... So i copied Alice defconfig and renamed that, and than it was working *insert black guy meme pointing at his head*

 

[XePeleato]

There's where I can't help, I don't know if it will work. That wifi thing was made for non EMUI systems, but that doesn't mean that it can't work on EMUI.

Builded, after some mins it booted, 3 sec later system crashed, automatically rebooted :/ ... second boot isnt happening anymore. Fail.

What do You need? Maybe i can help you!

Nothing right now... No kernel is working how much i would like. I'm using esal right now, but sadly can't be upstreamed to 3.10.90 due to errors at boot. Hakys new kernel has system problems, etcetc
