@agates said in No luck installing on my Pixel 2 (walleye):

e 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?

agates · 12 Jun 2021, 12:44

@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 · 12 Jun 2021, 16:21

Okay caon you please mount /data and see whats the output? Thanks!

agates · 12 Jun 2021, 19:55

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

Will reinstall and try again.

ERROR: Slot Unbootable: Load Error

flohack · 12 Jun 2021, 20:03

@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 · 12 Jun 2021, 20:07

@flohack Roger that.

Here's what /data looks like.

flohack · 12 Jun 2021, 20:11

@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 · 12 Jun 2021, 20:13

@flohack

/cache/ubuntu_updater.log

flohack · 13 Jun 2021, 07:36

@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!

BR Florian

agates · 13 Jun 2021, 19:21

@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.

/cache/ubuntu_updater.log

flohack · 13 Jun 2021, 19:55

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

agates · 13 Jun 2021, 20:07

@flohack Here you go

~/.cache/ubports/ubports-installer.log

flohack · 26 Jul 2021, 07:01

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.

BR Florian

flohack · 19 Aug 2021, 06:55

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!

agates · 20 Aug 2021, 00:57

@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.

flohack · 20 Aug 2021, 11:24

@agates Can you try to connect with either telnet 192.168.2.15 or ssh phablet@10.15.19.82 when its stuck?

agates · 21 Aug 2021, 19:39

@flohack Both fail with network unreachable

flohack · 21 Aug 2021, 19:51

@agates damnit its getting personal. So lets try this:

Can you flash TWRP recovery to boot
Then, run fastboot boot halium-boot_walleye.img and let it get stuck for lets say 5mins
Then, Long-press power to reboot into recovery
finally, when TWRP has booted can you enter adb shell and then try to see if that file exists: /sys/fs/pstore/console_ramoops ?

Thanks!

agates · 21 Aug 2021, 21:19

@flohack Okay so to be clear, I:

Flashed TWRP to the boot partition:
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.0-0-walleye.img
Booted into the halium boot image directly:
fastboot boot halium-boot_walleye.img
Waited 10 minutes
Force-rebooted the device, it booted into TWRP
Opened adb shell checking for /sys/fs/pstore/console_ramoops.

Unfortunately that file isn't there... the pstore directory is empty.

Here are the images used with sha256sum:
twrp-3.3.0-0-walleye.img: e7edcfb553b5c9b7ed717b3439c465075ee17b0eb938bafdce511bbea1cc3cd6
