Getting Mali Graphics Debugger to work - "unable to read stream"

Hello,

this is my first post here, I'm trying to get the Mali Graphics Degubber to work. I've manager to copy the mgddaemon and libGLES_mgd.so to the correct location but when I try to run mgddaemon on the shell it says:

[1]   Illegal instruction     mgddaemon

And when I hit the connect button at the MGD an error pops up saying:

Unable to read stream: No data received from the target. Check the connection.

I would love if anyone could help me, thank you very much.

  • Hi draquod,

    This seems to be a Snapdragon 800, containing an Adreno 330, so not Mali powered. You can try the renaming strategy I talk about above but as I say, this is not supported by MGD so your mileage will vary. As for rooting it, I've always been able to root devices just by getting a recovery rom such as clockworkmod on there, and root it from there. The nexus devices are all well supported in this area so you shouldn't have too much trouble, and you wouldn't *need* to back up anything although it's advisable if there's something you're not willing to risk losing

    Thanks,

    Chris

  • Ok, I will try it then and post results, so then we will also know if MGD works on the Nexus 5.

    And again, thank you for your time and effort.
