          @Flohack so I flashed the special TWRP and disabled the screen dimming so that the battery would just drain until it died. The percentage dropped to 0% and stayed there a while before the percentage just disappeared altogether. O had to leave for work but the phone still hadn't turned off by that point.

                I am nearly done with preparations and uploading. But I found we can only use 32bit rootfs for the moment, so I am finishing this now. Should be ready in 20mins...

                      @kodaxx Oh I have to ask, but I see those dependencies:

                      qemu-user-static
                      qemu-system-arm
                      e2fsprogs
                      simg2img

                      I am not sure you will be able to have commands from those packages avaiable in OSX.

                        @kodaxx The problem is that the images must be mounted (ext4 file system), converted from sparse to full image for the system.img etc. Those things might be specific. On the other hand, if you can build Android on Mac, maybe, then this tools could be available. Otherwise maybe you can try a virtual machine with Ubuntu?

                          @Flohack I'm able to get the install to happen but the device doesn't boot. It gets stuck at the Google splash screen indefinitely. I put some more details in the pad. Any ideas where to go from here?

                            @wbrawner Do you get an RNDIS connection to be able to ssh in? Anything in your hosts dmesg ? If not, let it sit for a while, then boot into recovery with VOl-UP and holding power, and then do cat /sys/fs/pstore/console_ramoops and see if thats says smth

                              @Flohack Here's some info I posted in the pad: https://pastebin.com/fycE5rG4 https://pastebin.com/gtUsAUhg

                              Here's the output of /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops: https://pastebin.com/1Htmi5iN

                              I tried to SSH in with phablet@10.15.19.82 but I get connection refused.

                                @Flohack I did a reinstall of LineageOS, did a factory reset from TWRP, and reinstalled UT. Now I've been able to SSH in but I'm still stuck at the Google boot logo

                                      @wbrawner SSH is a good sign. Can you please verify you got the /system/vendor folder with some content? Also check if /etc/init/rsyslog.override exists. Finally, is rsyslogd daemon running?

                                          Hmm sorry to say, it worked for me with the first flash. Strange.

                                            @Flohack /system/vendor is populated and /etc/init/rsyslog.override exists. rsyslogd wasn't running though

                                              @Flohack so I'm doing a bit of digging around. Lightdm is exiting for some reason: https://paste.centos.org/view/2dae5581

                                              The logs mention this /var/log/lightdm/unity-system-compositor.log file, so I took a look there: https://paste.centos.org/view/ead8190e

                                              This line stands out to me:

                                              Dynamic exception type: boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<std::runtime_error> >
                                              std::exception::what: Failed to find platform for current system
                                              

                                              I'm still investigating but no leads as of now.
