      @carlo said in Trying to boot nexus 9:

      gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
      tar: Child returned status 1
      tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
      

      That look a bit like the bunzip2 issue I had with my Jolla Sailfish ROM : The tar -x command counts on the file to be gzipped but it was bzipped so I got Error 7 in TWRP over and over again! 😞

      Can you unpack/repack the file into a regular .tar file and edit the associated scripts to refer to that new file by any chance ?!

      My phones :

      • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
      • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x
      • Xiaomi Mi 9T - Jolla SailFish 3.4.x Community Build

      P.S. : I am NOT a developer! ;)

          @carlo You can connect through telnet right?
          If you can, do dmesg there and drop the output in a pastebin.
          Then drop the link here so we can watch along what happens during boot.

            @nvriezen No, telnet does not work (host closes the session)

              What worked exactly then?
              Did the flashing return without errors?

              If so, maybe something went wrong with making halium-boot.
              Make sure that when running the kernel configuration test there are no red lines popping up.
              If there are, even though the script says no errors were found, you need to fix them.

                @nvriezen I will try again. The script is not returning errors found anymore so I will look for red lines

                  There is a thing I didn't see the first time. When I run breakfast flounder it sayes: Trying dependencies-only mode on a non-existing device tree. What does it mean?

                    I get that same message. As far as I know that doesn't matter and you can just ignore it.
                    If no other errors are popping up then the only thing I can recommend is going to the Telegram group and ask for help there.
                    They already helped me out twice when I really was stuck and didn't have any clue anymore.

                      @Carlo Did you apply the hybris patches btw?
                      You definitely need those and may solve the issue if you haven't applied them yet.

                          @carlo I surrender for now. Probably some dependencies are missing.
