Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners
-
@rocket2nfinity Thanks, I may not have successfully managed to flash the android image for some reason, so that could be the problem. I'll also make sure that my twrp is 4 core and I'll use the 4 core halium to see if that helps.
just screw it.
-
@user Try 4-core, and if that works, switching to 8-core halium is flashing one file.
-
@user Yes that seems to be wrong vendor partition, please install stock Android 7.1.2 before...
-
@user You only need to use 4-core if you experiencing boot loops. If you have a damaged CPU cluster than the phone wont even boot TWRP with 8 cores. If that works, just use 8 cores always.
-
@Flohack Thanks for that info, I'll keep to 8 core for now in that case and reflash 7.1.2 and try again
-
@user For posterity:
I was using lineageOS prior to this, there was an issue flashing back to android. namely, mke2fs failed because unimplemented ext2 function while setting up superblock
quick google search said I need to go into the flash-all.sh and edit it.
I had to change the last line from fastboot update -w <image.zip> to fastboot update <image.zip>
the -w flag is to wipe userdata and cache.
So far, the image seems to be flashing without issues.
-
@Flohack Ok, I'm having a problem. I thought I'd go back and reflash android and start from scratch, thinking that maybe that might be the hangup with camera. So, I did, successfully, several times. Android runs fine. Then I enable usb debugging and wipe dalvick, data, and cache. But every time I use the halium-install script after that, I get this:
passwd: password updated successfully

I: Cleaning upAny help on what I can do to fix this and re-install UT?
-
@rocket2nfinity Is your PC out of disk space maybe?
-
@Flohack No, this is regarding the file system on the phone. I had libertine on it. could that have changed the file system?
-
@Flohack when I do e2fsck on it, it tells me its not an ext2 file system.
I don't get it. I completely wiped the device and re-installed android and it did the same again.
-
@rocket2nfinity It has nothing to do with the device, the preparation fails on your local PC. halium-install is a bit stupid sometimes. Try to run it as root maybe. Also reboot can help to clean up the mounted images that are still in your temp area ^^
-
@Flohack No, it's definitely something not right with the phone. Just reflashed android and it now says:
extracting vendor.img (190 MB)...
archive does not contain 'vendor.sig'
wiping userdata...
Couldn't parse erase-block-size '0x'.
Couldn't parse logical-block-size '0x'.

error: Cannot generate image for userdataSomehow my file system got messed up...
-
@rocket2nfinity Sorry no idea right now. Though I saw this error from above somewhere I forgot what was the fix ^^
-
Ok guys camera is now clear why it would not work: There are still beta packages that are not in the normal rootfs. So that one is only for people who want to fiddle a bit with the console. But the result is rewarding. Shall I link the description here: https://pad.ubports.com/p/InstallGStreamerCamera
I managed to get back to full working camera with that ^^
-
@Flohack Oh and I forgot it needs a system.img update as well... I will upload a new system.img in a minute....
-
try going into the flash-all.sh script and take out the -w flag on the last command then run it again?
-
Can someone take a look at their phone's file structure and tell me what their drive is formatted to - especially system?
The problem seems to be with Android developer tools not functioning properly. Before I try it again with the updated tools, just want to make sure my drive is roughly the right sizes and formats (ext2 for instance)
-
@rocket2nfinity It is ext4 what I could see. Doesn't the flash_all.sh script create the partition table? If I don't remember it wrong.
-
@Rondarius yeah the stock ROM installer should repartition
-
I am now on 8 coress and 64bit ^^ seems to be fine. Camera though works only for pictures, no video recording so far. But still amazing pictures ^^
I will fix Bluetooth next....
