@rocket2nfinity You right click the script under Properties you are able to make it executable.

Rondarius · 23 Apr 2020, 18:53

I am half GUI half terminal user.

rocket2nfinity · 23 Apr 2020, 18:57

@Rondarius I guess I have some old habits. I always right click scripts to make them executable but then I start them with ./ anyway. I never just click the file. Guess I should take the easy path from time to time.

Were you able to get the new build running on your device?

Rondarius · 23 Apr 2020, 19:00

Sorry, I haven't tried it yet. It feels like it is something else that is not working maybe @Flohack could help you out here.

rocket2nfinity · 23 Apr 2020, 19:04

@Rondarius That's what I was thinking. Re-installed Android worked, bootloader is 3.68 and is working and able to reboot to bootloader or recovery, radio is 3.81. No errors installing anything after re-installing android, it all said ok. But then, no boot.....

@rocket2nfinity did it work with 4 cores before?

rocket2nfinity · 23 Apr 2020, 21:31

@Flohack Never tried it. Always had it running on 8

rocket2nfinity · 23 Apr 2020, 21:34

@Flohack 8-core TWRP still works just fine. Android works with all 8 cores enabled

@rocket2nfinity Please try to verify whats in the pst:

Phone reset to stock Android 7.1.2 by Google
Bootloader unlocked
Please paste output of halium-install

I am about to preparing a custom script for the UBports installer, that will make things much easier to handle

rocket2nfinity · 25 Apr 2020, 01:42

@Flohack Android stock 7.1.2 - check
bootloader unlocked - check

output of hallium -install script:

Yes the data cant be pushed to the device. Maybe you have multiple adb´s on your computer and they are fighting with each other? I had this once.

rocket2nfinity · 25 Apr 2020, 18:26

@Flohack Tried on two computers, one I am sure only has one copy of adb. Same result

flohack · 25 Apr 2020, 18:28

@rocket2nfinity Its just strange that it worked for many people but you

rocket2nfinity · 25 Apr 2020, 18:33

@Flohack It worked for me before too using your rootfs from your server. But with the new rootfs it hangs

rocket2nfinity · 25 Apr 2020, 18:39

@Flohack what does the "ut" after -p do in the hallium-install script?

rocket2nfinity · 25 Apr 2020, 18:53

@Flohack Oops! I do have two adb installed on both machines. Forgot that I used both and needed su adb to flash a ROM to a Mediatek device.

Thanks for the tip!

flohack · 25 Apr 2020, 19:44

@rocket2nfinity -p sets the postprocessing to Ubuntu Touch type. Without that the rootfs is not prepared in the right way, for example ssh wont work etc.

rocket2nfinity · 26 Apr 2020, 00:06

@Flohack So, what's changed in the build? Calls and camera still appear to be not functional, although it seems smoother somehow. Rotation is not working. GPS is working. Accelerometer and compass are not - not sure if they ever were. Just discovered this handy sensor status app in the open store.

It does not appear to be syncing up with the main UBPorts daily builds. Is it supposed to? - no menu option under updates to specify channel. I flashed the rootfs from the cli site and halium and system from your site as instructed.

Running on 8-cores by the way. Smooth as butter.

@Flohack I do see one thing is running - VoLTE!

I got no audio, but it just made a call using VoLTE
