Well, I am trying to figure it out why the kernel is crashing (aka: my phone is bootlooping before entering the recovery menu).

With some help of the AI agent, it figure it out that his attempt on jumping the kernel version from 4.14.170 to 4.14.336 wasn’t actually the best one. So right now where are creating midpoints to figure it out when it stops working.

Currently we are at 4.14.282 with the problem in between 4.14.283–4.14.286.

I have been using the agent to do it but there is only so much a AI Plan can give you in limits, so I might need to start figuring out how to do the whole merge process by myself. (I hate git cli…)

My working theory is that some of the basis I gave it to work such as sm7150-mainline, and the abandoned sm6150 kernel in the lineageos org, is actually starting to backfire because its really old and incomplete work. Also the problem might not be in a single version but in multiple of them.

Next dev-log will have more info.
