Missing WLAN Drivers Cancro about xiaomi_kernel_opensource

In Lollipop work fine.
I used this kernel https://github.com/kernel-hut/android_kernel_xiaomi_cancro

[deeplyarnab]

Same here too

Can we just make module on automode in linaro ??

I compile wiht Linaro 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, Sabermod 4.8, AK Linaro 4.9.3 and nothing, no wifi

[AungThiha]

Same here, no wifi. I used linaro 4.9.3. Have you guys overcome it?

[deeplyarnab]

i switched to bitti's repo
https://github.com/bittiscm12/android_kernel_xiaomi_cancro

[AungThiha]

@arnabbiswasalsodeep how's everything with it. Is wi-fi alright?
As for me, I'm trying to add wlan driver from other device which have the same board. The wlan chipset is pronto for sure. I have tested HTC msm8974. It didn't work. Now, I'm going to test from https://github.com/tectas/android_kernel_lge_msm8974ac . still cloning. it's taking too long because of poor internet connection in Myanmar.

I used driver wifi from Bitti, Audahadi and not work.
I renamed the wlan.ko that compiles to pronto_wlan.ko and does not work.
I have also taken prompt wlan.ko official and does not work
Sorry for my bad English

[AungThiha]

Looks like Xiaomi have removed something. Something really hard to fork. How could they do this to us.

They have been removed? I do not see the changes

[AungThiha]

No, what I meant is they must have removed something before they released it to the public and keep the complete one away from being touched.

[deeplyarnab]

i m still trying to compile. i too have a slow connection of 1Mbps and on a pentium (goin to upgrade to i5 soon)

[deeplyarnab]

and no luck. btw are videos playing on the kernel? because on my device it doesnt work

[AungThiha]

Yes, the video works fine. I used this toolchain.
https://www.mediafire.com/?dummbqmkaxai7

Radio, mobile data, vídeos, games and everything in general works but stupid wifi no.
I've got everything in place and have made a flashable zip with my kernel
For if it helps you

[deeplyarnab]

i used the same toolchain. and the vids not playing is also a common bug for some mi3 users, same problem with rom built with source. downloading the flashable zip now. currently i am on ivans 5.1 3/April/15 as all the other roms built from kernel source give me the same video errors

[deeplyarnab]

@alexret From where u got those module files (the system folder)? and the method u used to make the boot image? the methods i use doesnt let the rom boot at all!

I work on Miui 4.4.4, the modules are Miui.
Edit: but wifi not working
Edit: sorry I do not understand. The method was this https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools
mkbootimg boot.img (origina) for decompile
You replace your costume zimage by the original
mkbootimg kernel boot.img (fo compile boot.img)

Hi.Some friends and I, have opened in mi.com to ask drivers http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=101360&extra=page=1&mobile=2
Also we are asking Hugo in Twitter to let go them
Please, help us

[AungThiha]

@alexret What's his e-mail address?

[AungThiha]

Is this him?

[vasishath]

@alexret have you tried using these drivers ? Its here : http://github.com/vasishath/qcom_prima_xiaomi_cancro
I forked it from caf and Its based on the same caf release tag as used by xiaomi. And i can confirm that ivan also uses this driver version ( i used strings to check the version Number from wlan.ko)
Refer to my post on xda here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-3/development/temasek-unofficial-cm12-t3012588/post59884938#post59884938

[emceethemouth]

@vasishath Have you tried it? And does it work? Are you building inline or compiling the kernel by itself?

Yes @AungThiha is Hugo.
I have not tried it, I just see.@vasishath Tomorrow if I have time I'll try it
I read if any try it

[AungThiha]

@vasishath Which toolchain did you use? I used linaro 4.9.3 and I get this error. I have checked wlan_hdd_main.c. There's no error with the label err_vos_close but the compiler is throwing an error.

drivers/staging/prima/CORE/HDD/src/wlan_hdd_main.c: In function ‘hdd_wlan_startup’:
drivers/staging/prima/CORE/HDD/src/wlan_hdd_main.c:8255:7: error: label ‘err_vos_nv_close’ used but not defined
       goto err_vos_nv_close;
       ^

[vasishath]

@AungThiha @emceethemouth actually, i havnt compiled yet the driver or the kernel (i dont have the time right nw).. But i have seen audahadi use it in a recent rom and in that rom, people reported that wifi was working..

[vasishath]

@AungThiha i have another release tag in my repo, it is a more recent release of the same version of the driver.. Maybe u could try that..

[emceethemouth]

Here try this see if it's working: http://hubdroid.com/~Gnome/Stuxnet/Cancro/stuxnet-wlan4.zip

[AungThiha]

Ok, I'll check them out.

[romualdig]

Xiaomi, you will never fool us because we and many other people will never buy a Xiaomi! That's what you get treating this way your customers.

why not you guys use wlan driver from CAF
https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/platform/vendor/qcom-opensource/wlan/prima/

Same error as @AungThiha

[deeplyarnab]

i am using the same source to build kernels. Will be using these fixes https://github.com/arnabbiswasalsodeep/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/commits/cancro-kk-oss

[liuguo09]

Hi all, I've confirmed about this problem. And i'm sure the wifi driver is not developed by us.
I'm confused about it for long time and finally i found this driver is released by Qualcomm and they already opensource it.
I'll give you an instruction about how to get the codes after preparation.

[liuguo09]

Please refer to this FAQ

[emceethemouth]

Wow! @liuguo09 that was somewhat helpful.

[rooque]

@liuguo09 nice! Hope to see you more here

[alone-wolf]

im more than new who can tell me how to deal with the wifi code

[Vdragon]

Since the issue is solved, @alexret could you close this issue?

@MiCode

[emceethemouth]

@Vdragon before we close this, does anyone have successfully built the kernel and wlan source and had it worked on stock MIUI ROM? Coz as far as I know, all custom kernel devs are building for CM Based ROMs, and the kernel should be packed with the required modules that are on the ROM, in a nut shell, you cant flash the kernel by itself without the modules. Now, if anyone can confirm that by building the source code with the wlan source is working fine out of the box without the required modules. Then please, by all means tell us.

Thanks,

[Vdragon]

@emceethemouth I didn't have the device thus I can't test it, I'm fine with verifying the solution though.

[emceethemouth]

Just read the FAQ and it seems downloading the whole source is a pain that's why some people won't try it. Well here's a much easier thing to do:

• git clone git://codeaurora.org/platform/vendor/qcom-opensource/wlan/prima prima
• cd prima
• git checkout LNX.LA.3.5.2.2.1-04310-8x74.0
• cd ../
• then cp prima ~/$CANCRO_SOURCE_CODE/drivers/staging

Then build the kernel, much easier that way.

Jean Francis Dominique S. Mabalot [email protected]

Edit:
For people who wants to try it out, here's a stock source code for the MI kernel with the necessary fixes to build it, including the Opensource WLAN driver.

https://github.com/emceethemouth/kernel_cancro/commits/mi-stock

All you need to do is compile it.

Disclaimer:
I personally haven't tried it yet but since I'm on a different ROM, but this source builds fine and it should boot fine too, so compile, flash and report.

Jean Francis Dominique S. Mabalot [email protected]

Edit:
@Vdragon @liuguo09 WiFi still is not working, I had several people test it on xda, but still no luck. If that worked for you @liuguo09 could you please share the built kernel that has it working that you have tested it on. Thanks

[shellbombs]

i've flashed the boot.img of CM13(android 6.0) with MIUI7(android 6.0), wifi not available.
i've also compiled this kernel, and replaced it with the boot.img of MIUI7(android 6.0) using mktools, boot failed.
