@Flohack I realize this might not be the most useful "successful test" but I left my device plugged in and forgot about it behind a couch, and the uptime is >16 days.
If you'd like me to test anything on a device that's been on that long I'd be happy to give it a shot. One thing worth noting is that whenever I do check it, it seems to be disconnected from WiFi and needs me to re-enter the password
@ftnirp correction: still photos are working. video causes the app to hang, easy to restart it though
@ftnirp camera is working for me on edge FWIW
@potet said in Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners:
As there's now two whole observations of the edge channel working, I should at that the developing image (and probably all the others as well) boot just fine when you change the release channel after the install.
I'd also recommend doing this, as things are a bit broken in the edge release.
I just tried switching to stable from within UT and it sent me back to the Google boot screen. It's possible that I was impatient, but it seemed like it was stuck on it for far longer than it should've been.
I re-flashed to edge and it's working again. @Flohack Next time I'll try updating to devel instead from within UT.
@potet @Flohack Ok I can confirm that the edge channel is indeed working for me. The stable channel ends up stuck on the Google screen for me. But I'm up and running now and totally stoked. @Flohack you rock. I'm happy to help out with testing now
Sorry to be a bother again -- I have made progress but still having a bit of trouble getting UT operational. I have successfully gotten the Android revert going, though!
In TWRP, I've wiped and formatted the partitions as ext4, but after using the UBPorts installer, my phone reboots twice, and then just stays at the "Google" screen. I left it plugged in overnight and woke up to the same thing. I'm pretty sure that I've been doing what the instructions say, but either I'm missing something or maybe there's something off with my device. Any thoughts?
@Flohack
Hah too new?? Oh boy ok I'll try using an older version.
I started out using the flash-all.sh script included with the image but started running into these errors. That's when I ended up digging into it and trying to do it manually. I'll see if I can get it working with an older version of fastboot then.
@ftnirp Thanks so much for your response.
I tried running it as you described, but ran into the same error I'd previously encountered.
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
still results in
fastboot: error: Couldn't parse partition size '0x'.
I've tried searching for solutions to this -- many people have success by flashing to boot_a or boot_b but neither of those modifications have helped me.
Hey all,
I've been lurking for a while trying to replicate what you're doing on my 6P. I realize this is a super basic prereq, but I've been failing to revert to 7.1.2 and it's to the point that I'm not sure where else to turn. After getting the most recent platform tools from Google and downloading the exact image you linked above, I keep getting stuck here:
./fastboot -w update image-angler-n2g48c.zip
and getting
fastboot: error: Couldn't parse partition size '0x'.
I've tried directly unzipping and doing
./fastboot flash boot boot.img
and getting the same result. I'd really love to help you guys test things out and just need to get past this stupid hurdle.
Thanks in advance.
