            Alright here are some generic steps to see where we are:

            1. Check that kernel actually boots correctly:
            • On your host, enter dmesg -w and then power up the device
            • connect your USB cable. See if the host sees a new USB device
            • IF there are any messages about RNDIS coming up, try to ping 192.168.2.15 or 10.15.19.82 and eventually try either telnet on 192.168.2.15 or ssh (with user phablet) on 10.15.19.82

              @flohack Unfortunately I'm not getting anything from any of those steps. I'm on Windows 10 currently, and tried with both PowerShell and WSL Ubuntu.

                I'm on arch linux and using the appimage installer. It gets stuck on "preparing system image/mounting partitions'
                tried using an ubuntu vm -same problem

                  HOLY CRAP!
                  I did not see that this devicetree uses 2 kernel configs for each device. I only patched the one for XL. I push now some changes to add also muskie.

                  Can someone in roughly 24hrs from now try again to install Pixel 2? I bet its working then πŸ˜‰

                        @flohack

                        I am unable to get past the recovery step. Everything seems to work, I reboot to recovery and I can interact with the UBports recovery mode interface but it never continues from that point. Any ideas?

                        Update: It seems to hang on the

                        Preparing system image
                        Mounting partitions...
                        

                        section after the reboot to recovery (screenshot attached).

                        It could be that I am not giving it enough time so I am going to leave it throughout the night. Here is the verbose output of my UBPorts session:

                          Pixel 2 does not boot into UI anyways, I would ask you to wait a bit until we can get this sorted out finally. If you like, you can help debugging it maybe, if you are ok with using adb and fastboot directly.

                            Ok guys lets try a different approach. Can you please enter fastboot, flash that image into boot: https://twoot.bin.org.in/nextcloud/index.php/s/mzfmYJscqPyM2Bc with fastboot flash boot boot.img - so far so old.
                            Now: DO NOT reboot, but select Boot to recovery. Does this bring up our UT recovery screen?

                            Thanks!

                              • Booted to fastboot

                              • ran fastboot flash boot boot.img with this img

                              I am not sure what is meant by DO NOT reboot, but select Boot to recovery. After running the fastboot command should I just use volume up/down to make the recovery reboot option be visible? Not sure if it is supposed to do something at that point.

                                @i2097i Yes exactly, select manually the recovery option.

                                  yes, if I press the power button on recovery, it boots to UBPorts Recovery.

                                  I also wanted to mention that I let this run all night and it was still on the verbose: running adb action preparesystemimage when I woke up this morning.

                                    @i2097i Oh yes please dont do that, to not damage your display if its not turned off by recovery πŸ˜‰ - the install will not take longer than a few minutes, otherwise its broken πŸ™‚
                                    Ok but good to hear, we have a working recovery...

                                    So actually the kernel is fine. Can you do the following then:

                                    • Boot into recovery
                                    • Check with adb devices that you can see the device
                                    • use adb shell to gain shell access into the recovery
                                    • Issue a mount data that should get userdata online
                                    • Do a ls -la /data and paste the result here

                                    Thanks!

                                      @Flohack The screen does turn off after a certain amount of time so my display is all good!

                                      Here is the output:

                                      : adb shell

                                      /

                                      /data is empty it seems.

                                        @i2097i Did you mount data? can you check with simply typing mount ? Its unlikely that it is fully empty

                                          My bad - I did not run mount data. Now adb shell is just hanging. Is there some where that I can see logging for this?

                                            @i2097i No, adb is a very quiet protocol - try unplug/replug and reconnect
