Hey there,
I hope that you don't mind me posting here, but I figure that this is the best place to get some assistance. I'm attempting to port CM11 to the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (SM-P605). This is a very similar device to the Note 3, and as such, I've started by forking the Note 3 device tree. This is the first port that I've attempted, so I am very new to all of this.
I am using the Samsung stock 4.3 kernel sources for my device. When I run "make recoveryimage", everything seems to work fine and I get a recovery.img file. However, despite fiddling with all manner of settings in BoardConfig.mk, I cannot get it to boot. It just gets itself into a bootloop, saying "Recovery boooting..." at the top left, and then rinse-repeat.
I suspect that my problem lies with the ramdisk, and/or the ramdisk offset. The following is taken from the Note 3 BoardConfig.mk.
I presume that those offsets are different per device. After a bit of research, I came across an app called unmkbootimg which can supposedly tell me what I need to know. After feeding it my boot.img, I got the following result.
I've tried 0x00200100 and 0x2000000 for ramdisk offset (purely because I am not sure which one is correct there), but both give the same result (ie. nothing).
I've also tried outputting the log to the LCD with
This made no difference at all either.
I'm not sure what else to try, so I'm looking for any suggestions please.

Thanks in advance.
