Doesn't generate hidg files, kernel 4.9

[Time1apse]

Device: beryllium(poco f1), soc: snapdragon 845, maybe another devices on 4.9 kernel.

I am patching the kernel, then i am modifing the kernel and enable some features, enable hid (in diffirent tries i'm enable hiddev and hidraw)

But when kernel is compiled and i install it in my phone, kernel doesn't make an hidg0 and hidg1 files, what i do wrong?

EDIT: On my phone it not work too(vince), i asking some people and the say, that this files doesn't generate because there is no .rc files, that can generate it, if anybody know how to generate it, pls help

[Thiviyan]

You should try changing usb mode or enabling adb. Else try to host an image in drivedroid. Trust me I am enabling hidg by this method sometimes.

I agree that the files are not being generated.

If you use nethunter, enable hid in usb arsenal, it will generate files, but idk is there needed for patched kernel bcs offensive security say, that kernel > 4.x already have hid support

I have the same issue in my Android 9.0 + Kernel 4.9. I suppose there is a switch to enable the HID feature just like mtp... but i have no idea how to do it now.

Man, download New build of nethunter app, from "usb arsenal" in menu you can enable hid if you use kernel >4.x

OK, so " kali chroot" is also in nethunter-app package?

You can install chroot from app, that app works on any rooted phone

dont waste your time trying on nethunter for hid on a kernel version 4.9.. it still dont work on nethunter usb arsenal. already tested and confirmed with this patch and the configs mentioned in nethunter official tutorial..

Lol, do it without patch man, i'm already say'd that 4.x didnt need this patch

[Thiviyan]

we tried with and without patch both never worked... have you ever tried it on Kernel Version 4.9???

[Time1apse]

If you use poco you need modifed rom, on my redmi 5 plus all works fine(with kernel, that i build on my phone) (and yes, kernel 4.9)

[Thiviyan]

Just future reference and other people stumbling upon this: One can extract the kernel configuration using this script. I've extracted the kernel options from the working kernel and attached the kconfig.
