Pixel 2 XL (Taimen) Testing Results
-
@maurice Its really strange but it could be your USB cable, or try different port on your host. Definitely this is an error related to the ADB protocol. So it looses connection to your device from time to time.
You can try yourself, push a bigger file into /data (few hundred megs) like:
adb push xy.tgz /data
and see if that goes through.Note that this has nothing to do with clearing partitions. You can also try an older TWRP version. We might also be able to use the UBports recovery, let me try to build that tonight.

@Flohack
can i use google factory image9.0(lineageOS16)'s vendor? all pixel phone not supported China Telecom 4g. so I need root the phone in android 9 and copy some mcfg_sw.mbn files into /vendor/rfs.... for 4g. thanks! -
@atomos You can use GoogleΒ΄s vendor partition but I found some things wont work with it. Might have problems with sensors, GPS, Camera. But give it a try.
-
@flohack can I copy files to /vendor/rfs/msm/mpss/readonly/mbn/mcfg/configs/mcfg_sw/generic/
afer install ubuntu.
i usesudo mount -o remount,rw /
then do copy command, its says read only filesystem.
-
@atomos No you probably need to do this in recovery. The partition is mounted as bind-mount, not easy to set readable....
-
@flohack just tried adb push using TWRP 3.2.3.0, seems that the push is failing around 100mb.

Did some more tests. Was looking at the wrong string, it looks like adb push does work.

I also tried to use the install script without the password and user parameters which allows the system image to push, but it fails pushing the rootfs :

@maurice said in Pixel 2 XL (Taimen) Testing Results:
sudo ./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img
have you try no sudo?
./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img

@atomos Yes, same issue. Also tried a different port and several USB C cables.

After trying multiple times using the Macbook air ports. I tried a different setup. Used an external USB/USB C dock (Dell Universal Dock D6000) with a USB C to USB C cable connected to the phone.
So Macbook Air (2013) -> Dell Universal Dock -> Pixel 2 XL.
And when trying the script it finally worked!

Now on to testing capabilities. Thanks for all your help and input. @Flohack recommendation to try different host ports helped!
-
@maurice congratulations!!!
bty Cellular working?
pixel phone not supported CHM-CT 4GοΌalways need mod vendor.img. I'll try later in ut. -
@maurice
Congratulations bro... Can you please make a short youtube Tutorial of Installing Ubuntu Touch on Pixel 2XL and its a short Review.. -
@atomos Cellular currently should work but no call audio in fact, no audio at all on the whole device... .Working on it
-
@atomos Is the modification adding files or replacing them? Because with a replace I will have a hard time. Ofc I can add files if they are needed, or merge configs etc
-
@flohack I can confirm no audio on whole device.
-
@flohack thanks!
no replacing, just add ".mbn" files and lines of configs.
not working yet, in android OS, need do factory rest.l'll format my phone reinstall ut, do more test.
-
@atomos Ok if you link me to a zip file and instructions I might be able to include that in the vendor partition
-
@flohack
carrier option is aways set to None. even I had selected my SIM card's carrier(CHN-CT), no lucky with your vendor.img.
so I back to Android 9, lineageOS17.1, all of them works fine.in android OS(8.0-11.0), its supported CHN-CT(with 3g), mod vendor.img can supported 3g, LTE, VoLTE. just need copy files from other android phone with Snapdragon 835.
-
@atomos Well modem doesnt work at all on the device, not specific to your country. I will try to work on it, gimme some time ^^
