I've been trying various methods on getting some kind of debugging log from one of these three phones as they boot up.
I've read that the "init" process produces a boot log, and some kernel messages are produced and can be found via "strace" and such. However, does this mean that you can only access these phone logs (from boot mode onward) if the phone makes it to a stable state? What if the phone crashes during the "Google" splash-screen? Is there any way to get some kind of boot log or error log or messages from the phone to the terminal or to an output file as it boots up? How far does the phone need to get in the boot process before any kind of log could be accessed? When the kernel is loaded into memory after the main bootloader stage, does it produce logs that can be accessed? That is, it does not just simply produce log messages that are only found in the phone's file system but somewhere perhaps on the computer the phone is plugged into via USB. Is there any way to configure this if it doesn't do so anyway? Thank you. -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
