[KERNEL][CWM ONLY][Mar14] Omegamoon's Kernel Compilations for MK808 only

[cacoe]

Hi folks,

I'm convinced there's something wrong with the submitted kernel builds, omegamoon's own kernels work fine on my MK808 (aside from something I'll explain in a moment) but these all freeze on boot, using finless 1.7c.

Now, I can appreciate you made these builds for this version of the kernel because there's some fantastic improvements and people with hdmi would also like to use it.

I've tried older builds from omegamoon's own site (because I can only use HDMI) and they booted fine. Only problem being is, they all output at 1080p, even if I specifically use the 720p versions. They, no matter what, scale 720p up to 1080p. (you can tell because of all the jaggies around everything and I'm using a 720p rom so the initial boot image appears messed up.) They also don't include the new governers so it's kinda pointless.

I understand that you can't answer questions about the kernel it self but do you have any idea what I could do to actually boot your builds corrently? I have tried both flashing with finless rom flash tool (just the kernel img) and by using CWM.

Both methods result in a hang on boot.

Thanks,
Mark.

Yes you shoulnt have problems, not with this one too, but some times there are extrange problems...

Well I managed to flash the kisz kernel which works fine :S

It's a shame because this kernel does so much more!

So I shouldn't have any problems, right?

I want to try the dark4u kernel to see if I have any luck with that but unfortunately, the site it's hosted on is down

If you have rk901 I think it is a mk808.

<sup>The only reason I can imagine this is not working now is that it's not a legit mk808.

I opened it up and it has an rk901 wifi chip but only a single antenna which is odd because I swear all the ones I've seen have two. Either way, the wifi signal is fine (now at least). It also has a black heatsink on there too.

Do you think it's a legit mk808?</sup>

My suggestion is try to install again from cwm or decompress the file and flash kernel.img from Finless flash tool.

OK make a copy of my finless folder, replaced the kernel file with the new one and flashed only the kernel. Still bootloops :/

I guess I'll have to flash the old one back again but I'd love to have this kernel working!

I've checked the size of the file which was on the sdcard, it matches the download which should be 3,653,220 bytes...

It still doesn't work though :/

I test that size is ok, I suggest download it again and try to flash it.

Can I do anything to fix it? As far as I can see, no one else has had this issue...

Bootloop, i have it sometimes if kernel compilation fail, or if size of the kernel.img is bigger than partition size.

Re: [KERNEL][CWM ONLY][Mar14] Omegamoon's Kernel Compilations for MK808 only

Hi, I seem to get a bootloop when applying this kernel. Device seems to load up, restart a couple of times, then freeze on the boot screen.

I've used the 720p variant via CWM. I'm running finless 1.7c and I cleared cache and dalvik after flashing as instructed. As far as I'm aware, I don't have a clone as the original mk808 finless rom seems to work.

Any ideas please?

Hi,

This method works.
But every time I start, I have to repeat the steps.
I have an air mouse fly rc11 and now the keyboard shortcuts do not work. How to solve this?

Kind regards,
Jorge Moreira

I'll do that and then give my feedback.

Thanks for the quick response.

I've addressed the sound issue in my first post. Refer to that. The fix is as omegamoon said.
