          @flohack i am referencing https://pad.ubports.com/p/HaliumHowToTestInstall which mentions a system.img, however i don't see a system.img in Jenkins. am i missing something? i'd love to try this out on my sailfish device.

            @khimaros the problem is that on Jenkins there is only an integrated .tar.gz which cannot be used for the Halium install method. I will create an updated one an post here again where to get it.

                for those seeing a bunch of garbage in the instructions, this link seems to show @Flohack's original version of the document https://pad.ubports.com/p/HaliumHowToTestInstall/timeslider#419

                  @flohack thank you! it boots, touchscreen good, WiFi working, front and back camera are functional w/ reasonable white balance, screen off/on fine, loudspeaker playing youtube with no stutter, volume rockers working. overall really solid experience! let me know if there's anything specific you would like feedback on.

                    @flohack does the halium-boot.img have debugging enabled? i'm trying to use the same boot image to test out droidian and need to troubleshoot some early stage init issues. not seeing any iSerial results with lsusb.

                      @khimaros you mean to have access via RNDIS or telnet?

                        @flohack whatever would let me instrument very early stage boot. do you have the instructions you are using to build halium-boot for sailfish handy? anything beyond the standard halium-9.0 build process?

                          @khimaros if you only want to test halium-boot first the instructions are actually quite okayish for Halium 9. You basically sync the tree, add the device manifest and then just let it build πŸ˜› - if you flash it without rootfs.img and system.img you can boot it, and it will drop into emergency telnet mode
                          If you add rootfs but no system.img it will normally boot into rootfs and you should get RNDIS ssh

                            @flohack -- thank you. are the device manifests you merged in https://github.com/Halium/halium-devices/pull/282 sufficient? i ran into some build errors and wondered if there were some additional steps/patches i was missing.

                              @khimaros yes should be enough, you need to:

                              • repo sync the Halium 9 tree
                              • run halium/devices/setup sailfish (or marlin)
                              • run hybris-patches/apply-patches --mb
                              • then run breakfast sailfish (or marlin) and mka all parts

                                @flohack -- thank you. i was able to build successfully. however, i'm noticing that the documented hybris-recovery target does not exist, which is making it a bit tricky to troubleshoot init issues. was this renamed or is there another way to force an existing boot image into recovery mode?

                                  @khimaros this target is new to me, we only have:

                                  halium-boot for non a/b devices, and bootimage for a/b
                                  recovery
                                  system
                                  vendor

                                  mostly what you need πŸ˜‰

                                    @flohack -- i'm referring to the documentation at https://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/debug-build/early-init.html#forcing-debug-mode:

                                    If the device simply reboots when trying to boot and does not bring up telnet, you may build and use the hybris-recovery.img file to attempt to force a shell to come up.

                                    this is the circumstance I'm bumping up against. maybe there is a new way to troubleshoot this?

                                      @khimaros Well here is the problem: While we claim to be a Halium distro, we are only sharing some of the codebase, and you need to know when to break off from the Halium docs and return to UBports πŸ˜‰

                                      If you have reboot issues best bet is to wipe data, then flash halium-boot and see if it still crashing. If yes, your kernel is screwed, if not it should give you telnet. Also adding break=bottom to kernel cmdline will stop before the real init to inspect the device and mounts etc.

                                          I suggest you start a new thread for your problem as right now I have no idea what you're trying to achieve there.
                                          And please give some context about what you're trying to do what you did before the error, specify the versions, etc.

                                            @flohack Hi. I found my old Google Pixel phone (sailfish) and I would like to try your port. Where can I find some instructions how to remove android and install ubports on it?

                                            Thnx.
