After May 8th build, Samsung S2 will not boot up (Terminated ALSA PLAYBACK device hifi)

[kumar303]

Using the May 8th build from http://83.212.96.171/galaxy-s2/latest/ , my Samsung S2 will not boot up. It seems to be stuck in a loop about the audio driver maybe? This is the loop that logcat shows:

Hard to say how that build was created... They're by no means official builds. I suspect that Gonk-GB broke. We're moving to Gonk-ICS, so I suggest you upgrade to that.

[kumar303]

whoops, not sure why I had the IP in my Makefile. These builds are from http://b2gbuilds.org/ so I'll shoot them an email. Thanks for the clues.

[kumar303]

is there an official nightly build for samsung elsewhere?

[philikon]

Nope. We don't distribute images for devices at all currently.

[peregrinogris]

@kumar303 This happens when you use make flash or ./flash.sh, try flashing gecko and gaia separately. People suspects is related to Heimdall somehow.

I had the same issue with my own Gingerbread-based build from scratch (though slightly different log output http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1640169) but I can confirm that running "make install-gecko-only" fixed it.

Is the fix for this bug to start using ICS builds? If it is, should we remove the gingerbread instructions from the README? If not, I guess this needs fixing.

[peregrinogris]

I'm having the same issue building against ICS. For the record, the guys from b2gbuilds.org where building against GB.

[willyaranda]

I had the same problem. As peregrino said, just flashing with ./flash I cannot start the phone, but just after doing ./flash gecko, everything works (I'm talking about ICS)

[weideng]

I met the same problem

A little more detail. During ./flash.sh gecko, this occurs:

The device actually starts working while it is copying libxul.so, so I assume the problem is with one of the files that gets copied before that.
