Thanks a lot, that means that it most probably worked. With the
Replicant 11 kernel I don't see any networks yet.

That tool didn't work well. I could manage to get the IMEI under
Replicant 6 but it had crashes for instance.

I wrote that tool to have tests that didn't depend on having a SIM card
that could register to a network, but at the end, I got a new SIM card
and modified ipc-modem to be a little more configurable (to call a
number of your choosing in the same country) as it was order of
magnitude faster to do.

I also tried to make it easier to write simple test applications along
the way so I'll eventually get back to it.

That's interesting for doing tests.

As I understand the combination of forkbomb's modem branch (using
forkbomb's repository) and forkbomb's libsamsung-ipc wasn't tested
up to making a call. So while the modem is supposed to bootstrap we
don't know if the code fully works.

The issue is that older kernels doesn't seem to build anymore on my
system so I'll try to import the patches that fixes that and if it
takes too much time I'll build it on a VM.

On my branches I at least manage to send and receive some messages and
I get into LPM mode, but the modem doesn't go in full power.

I may have trigger somehow the modem registration while shutting down
the phone once but I didn't manage to reproduce it.

So there might be something in the kernel side that is missing, and
I've also modified it extensively and left out 1 GPIO due to some
conflicts with some other kernel versions.

I've also tried manually toggling the suspend-req GPIOs but when I read
it in /sys/kernel/debug/gpio it stays high after the modem boot whereas
in the smdk4412 kernel it is low.

I've also a GNU/Linux setup with Parabola but unfortunately it can't
run older kernels like 3.0 for comparison / test purposes.

I should probably try with 3.18 too.

That doesn't look good. 

I had that often and each time I fixed by restoring the backup of the
RADIO partition. Sometimes the restored image would not stick after
rebooting.

I've no idea why it is corrupted as it's not supposed to open it
read/write and open_android_modem_partition_by_name uses O_RDONLY.

Maybe it's some issue with reboot as I tend to reboot before each test
to make sure there is no interference with the tests.

I've also to do some Replicant 6 work to release the next RC image and
I'll get back to the modem work right after that or even in my free
time in between.

Denis.
