        @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
          root@walleye:/ # ^C                                                                                                                                                                          
          130|root@walleye:/ # pwd
          /
          root@walleye:/ # ls -la /data
          total 0
          drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 0 1970-01-01 00:00 .
          drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 0 1973-04-20 00:54 ..
          root@walleye:/ # 
          

          /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

                  @i2097i Or do you mean the mount command does not finish?

                    this is the general gist of what I am doing:

                    adb reboot recovery && adb wait-for-recovery && adb shell "mount data" && adb shell "ls -la /data"
                    

                    I haven't been able to get any adb commands to run on the device itself (adb devices works)

                        @Flohack same issue - I'm going to factory restore this device and try again. I'll post my findings asap.

                          @i2097i a simple adb shell should never get stuck, yes do that plz. And use an Android 9 image maybe to flash a few system partitions with the right version πŸ˜‰

                            @Flohack Yeah, the hanging of adb shell is likely on my end somehow. I am going to try a different cable along with rebuilding.

                            Yeah, I'll have to get these partitions cleaned up πŸ‘ . I've been using the last Pie update PQ3A.190801.002 (5670241) to refresh.

                                  @flohack Ok perfect so data is empty currently. Can you please just boot into normal boot, and then try to do telnet 192.168.2.15 after lets say 20 secs on the Google logo? Thanks!

                                        Oh and please see again in recovery if you can also mount system partition (mount /system_root could do it). And whats inside there...

                                              @agates Okay so you got already some potential UT data in your system partition. Please wipe that too, so that data nd system are clean, then the boot should drop into a telnet session on 192.168.2.15 πŸ™‚
