        @agates Wait a second how did you flash recovery? The device should not even have a recovery partition...

          @agates can you boot into recovery (Is it UBports recovery at least?) and then adb shell into it. Can you:

          • mount /system_root
          • ls -la /system_root, it should have a typical Linux appearance
          • ls -la /system_root/var/lib/lxc/android, it should show android-rootfs.img

            @flohack Apologies, I'm likely using the wrong term. I used the first part of the ubports installer to install the bootloader etc then quit.

            However i was able to reproduce the same behavior without having to do that, also.

                Not quite sure what you mean: Did you run the installer at least one time through, with the "Bootstrap" option checked?

                  @flohack Yes. Sometimes rebooting into the ubports recovery during this troubleshooting results in a bootloader error, however. I've yet to reproduce it to get the error message to see if it's relevant.

                  I followed the installation instructions, I promise 🙂

                      @flohack Just went to try and finally got the boot error I mentioned

                      Will reinstall and try again.

                        @agates Well you might get slot unbootable every 3 unsuccessful boots. Please issue fastboot --set-active=(a or b depending on whats active when you installed)
                        Unless UT would boot correctly this will bite you from time to time

                            @agates huh data is empty after installation? I would expect at least a cache.img there. Can you go to cache folder and look for a ubports-updater.log or similar name

                                @agates Ok so that was with bootstrap option? I can see it does not flash vbmeta and dtbo ppartitions, maybe thats the problem? I will investigate.

                                Can you please download this: https://ci.ubports.com/job/UBportsCommunityPortsJenkinsCI/job/ubports%252Fcommunity-ports%252Fjenkins-ci%252Fwalleye-taimen/job/main/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/halium_walleye.tar.xz and extract the files vbmeta.img and dtbo.img from the partitions folder?

                                Then, go to fastboot and do a fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img and a fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification

                                Lets try this!

                                  @flohack Yes, this is with bootstrap.

                                  To be safe, I re-ran the installer with bootstrap enabled. Waited for the bootstrap to finish and ran the commands you provided without issue, then continued with the installer after rebooting to recovery.

                                  I'm not seeing a change, however, except now it's update version 181 instead of 179.

                                    @agates Alright can you also send me the log of the installer? It will be on your host device in the .cache folder maybe

                                        Guys,

                                        unfortunately I had to remove Pixel2 (not XL) from the installer as its not clear how to fix it, and I want to prevent bad experience.

                                        I still need someone with a bit of a hacker gene to help me debugging and maybe find out whats wrong.

                                          I made some progress 🙂

                                          The build did not have the kernel config updated for the Pixel 2, I fixed that now and lets see todays build. As it is removed from the installer you would need to flash the kernel manually:

                                          • Download https://ci.ubports.com/job/UBportsCommunityPortsJenkinsCI/job/ubports%252Fcommunity-ports%252Fjenkins-ci%252Fwalleye-taimen/job/main/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/halium-boot_walleye.img and flash this with fastboot flash boot halium-boot_walleye.img

                                          Good Luck!

                                            @flohack Unfortunately, I'm getting the same behavior (stuck at white google boot logo).

                                            Will try to get logs again to see if there's something new.
