[UNOFFICIAL BUILDS] Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Egde for /e/OS S and /e/OS r

make-nz · September 17, 2023, 9:54pm

Flashing yes, but no boot again

make-nz · September 18, 2023, 8:01pm

In there is this part:

zum Booten des Builds, da 3.18-Kernel keine ebpf-Unterstützung haben und diese noch nicht auf einen 3.18-Kernel portiert wurde.

I think anything below kernel 4.4 was considered too difficult to back port and it was kind of the end of many older devices.

What kernels are in your builds, which won’t boot?
Are there just some cherry picks missing, or so maybe?

ronnz98 · September 18, 2023, 8:39pm

you’re right. I did not apply the patches. Will try this week to build with patches (R&S version)

ronnz98 · September 19, 2023, 10:25am

For /e/OS-S I could apply the patch and build new. Possibly now it boots?
Samsung Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge for /e/OS S-1.15

I’ve made a fresh installation with e-1.15-s-20230914-UNOFFICIAL-herolte (N°2). Once via TWRP > Install, once via adb sideload and multiple reboots. Each restart ends with the Samung Galaxy S7 Logo. The Sam-Logo remains motionless for minutes. No further reactions. The only way to turn the S7 off is via TWRP > Power off.

ronnz98 · September 19, 2023, 12:25pm

Arw sure you took e-1.15-s-20230919-UNOFFICIAL-herolte.zip and not the old one?

anon29344687 · September 19, 2023, 1:06pm

Hey, no! I’ve of course installed your latest version e-1.15-s-20230919-UNOFFICIAL-herolte. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Logo stands like a rock in the surf. Nothing moves!

ronnz98 · September 19, 2023, 1:15pm

ok just wanted to ensure as above you stated -1.15-s-20230914-UNOFFICIAL-herolte (N°2)…
and new build is e-1.15-s-20230919-UNOFFICIAL-herolte

anon29344687 · September 19, 2023, 2:15pm

Hey, yeah - I hear you. It’s good if you think about all eventualities. Nothing is impossible!

Nevertheless - the end result so far is unfortunately as described above.

By the way: I’ve also rooted my S7 in the meantime. For example, when I install a Generic System Image (GSI), it sometimes helps. But with the S7 it did nothing.

ronnz98 · September 19, 2023, 3:56pm

hm ok, then I think these build needs more attention for the /e/OS team to run under R or S. I have troubles with T but might try too

make-nz · September 20, 2023, 4:54am

Could you share you build script’s and the log? I’m mostly away from any computers for three weeks now but have a tablet in the evening sometimes

make-nz · September 20, 2023, 5:14am

Sorry, confirming this for your 2nd build, plus turning off only from TWRP didn’t even work, It had booted back into TWRP and was still in recovery mode, when I grabed it just now.

Now I could turn it off, by long pressing VOLdown & OnOff – it just shows the loading annimation now

ronnz98 · September 20, 2023, 8:02am

just refer to
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lineageos-19-1-android-12l-signature-spoofing-ota-updates-for-s7-exynos.4368995/
and the sources are here
https://github.com/orgs/8890q/repositories?type=all
I’d put the device, kernel and vendor data in the respective folders. Then did apply the patch
https://github.com/8890q/patches
which was successful.
After this is run breakfast / brunch and build went fine. Sorry I don’t have the logs any more

ronnz98 · September 20, 2023, 8:03am

I’d tried now also a T build but got this error which I cannot address. Maybe someone can help?

The error suggests these things have not been pulled into your environment for some reason. As a first step you might look at lineage_herolte.mk. On my “samsung_device.mk”, this is mostly about these tasks:

# Inherit from those products. Most specific first.
# Inherit common Lineage phone.
# Set those variables here to overwrite the inherited values.

So you might look further into

$(call inherit-product, $(What you find here)

Secondly you get clues, by looking where the libs come from – for instance I recognise libOMX.Exynos.AVC.Decoder from a Samsung__proprietary-files.txt so this one might be some wrong / missing vendor source.

Thanks. Got it! Was one of samsung slsi linearo packages… so lets see how this proceed

ronnz98 · September 20, 2023, 1:02pm

Alright. Build was successful. I applied the patch and let see if it works. I assume the chances are low since R and S did not work but let’s see:

You’ve really made the grade

So does it work?
