norayrfrom https://github.com/MerlijnWajer/bionic-clown-boot/tree/solana howto is not available.01:03
norayri am wiping data on droid301:05
norayrwill try again01:05
norayrand i don't understand point 4:01:07
norayr4. firmware VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-66_M2-10_1FF_01a.xml installed on the device    - if you have an older version please update to this version first    - if you have a newer version plese follow https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/solana/README.txt instead01:07
norayrhow do i know which version do i have? it says in 'about phone'01:10
norayrsystem version: 5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US01:10
norayrandroid version is 201:10
norayrgood01:10
norayrinstall.sh maybe uses mount command wrongly01:16
norayrUsage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory01:16
norayrcp: /system/etc/kexecboot: Read-only file system01:16

norayrUnable to chmod /system/bin/logwrapper: Read-only file system01:16
norayrUnable to chmod /system/bin/busybox: No such file or directory01:16
norayryes, running adb shell "su -c 'mount -o remount,rw /system'" brings a message that mount is used not properly01:19
norayrmut the mount command looks ok... maybe root234.sh didn't succeed. but i didn't notice anything worrying, everything seemed to be successful.01:24
norayrok i ran root234.sh again01:37
norayrand the only problem i see01:37
norayris01:37
norayrroot234/su: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 111.3 MB/s (22364 bytes in 0.000s)01:37
norayrlink failed File exists01:37
norayrnow doing factory reset from inside the phone. then will try again.01:56
norayrfrom inside the os i mean01:57
norayrrunning root234.sh again02:09
norayrremount succeeded02:09
norayrroot234/su: 1 file pushed, 0 skipped. 135.2 MB/s (22364 bytes in 0.000s)02:09
norayrlink failed File exists02:09
norayrWizzup, uvos, i believe current manual is not working: http://dpaste.com/AYWTL5VRR02:11
norayror i need to use that unexistent link i mentioned before which is in 4th point of your solana github repo readme.02:12
norayri was able to get the su prompt02:34
norayrroot@cdma_solana:/# mount -o remount,rw /system02:35
norayrmount -o remount,rw /system02:35
norayrUsage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory02:35
norayrroot@cdma_solana:/#02:35
norayrbut anyway, mount under android doesn't work like that02:35
norayrok i was able to do mount -o remount,rw,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/system /system02:37
norayrnow it is mounted rw02:37
norayrok i got kexecboot.02:51
norayrthe difference with droid4 is that first it shows 2 penguins02:52
norayrthen the kexecboot screen02:52
norayrother difference is that on droid4 it is in landscape, here in portrait.02:52
norayri am able to navigate with kbd up down keys, but when i press enter it doesn't boot maemo.02:53
norayryes, maemo flashed to sdcard... sync sync sync02:53
norayrit sees the first boot partition of 128mb02:54
norayrso when i press on maemo leste, it stays on white screen of kexecboot. if i press on android, the screen goes black. and nothing happens.03:37
norayrprobably because android stock cannot be booted anymore. that's ok.03:37
norayrchanged sdcard. no success.03:37
norayranyway03:42
norayrhttps://github.com/MerlijnWajer/bionic-clown-boot/pull/203:42
Wizzupnorayr: thanks for the PR, I wonder, I think I had the opposite experience10:48
Wizzupmaybe..10:48
Wizzupnorayr: so you managed to boot it?11:00
norayrhey11:02
norayrno, but i managed to see kexecboot prompt11:03
norayrinstall.sh completes now and i get the boot loader prompt11:03
norayrit is a bit different from droid411:04
norayrit first shows 2 penguins, then the white kexecboot screen11:04
norayrwhich is in portrait, not landscape mode11:05
norayrand it seen the sdcard's 128mb partition11:06
norayrsees11:06
norayrbut doesn't boot11:06
Wizzuphm11:07
norayrI wonder it is because i had to use a bit different manual, to which your repo links in point 411:07
norayrbut the link is broken11:07
Wizzuphmmm, where is that link?11:07
norayr4. firmware VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-66_M2-10_1FF_01a.xml installed on the device    - if you have an older version please update to this version first    - if you have a newer version plese follow https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/solana/README.txt instead11:08
norayrthis link.11:08
norayri found similar numbers in 'about phone' and i guess my android version is older11:08
Wizzuphmm11:09
Wizzupunrelated https://medium.com/@camden.o.b/maemo-leste-might-be-right-for-your-pinephone-f0345485e8b1?source=social.tw11:09
norayrsystem version: 5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US11:09
norayris that it?11:09
Wizzupso what link does not work, the README.txt ?11:10
norayrthe mount command definitely doesn't work as in script11:10
norayrmaybe u had android 411:10
Wizzupright but this could be due to different android version11:10
norayrthis mount command wanted what to mount to11:10
Wizzuphttps://maedevu.maemo.org/images/droid3/11:10
Wizzupdid you see that image + script ?11:10
WizzupVRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-66_M2-10_1FF_01a.xml.zip11:11
norayrOmg no11:11
norayrWait11:11
norayrno i did not flash it and i don't even know now how11:14
norayrit's not in the scripts right?11:14
norayrwait, u said image and script11:15
Wizzupnorayr: ok, yeah, let's do that first11:15
norayrnoooo i didn't do it11:15
norayrdo i do it in fashboot prompt?11:15
Wizzupit's not super well documented I guess :(11:16
Wizzupjust a moment, let me finish something11:16
Wizzuphumpelstilzchen[: ping11:18
Wizzupnorayr: so the flashing process is -very- similar to the droid 411:20
norayrI will try mount command after flashing this frimware too. But i guess i did that last time (with other device) and still had same mount script problem. I'll see11:20
Wizzuphttps://maedevu.maemo.org/images/droid3/ the flash-droid-3-hw script should help11:20
norayrOk i will check in droid4 manual11:20
Wizzupnorayr: the first thing to do is to just flash the specific android version11:20
norayrwhat i nood to do11:20
norayrthank u, i'll do that now11:21
WizzupIt should be as simple as downloading the zip file, extracting it, and running the flash-droid-3-fw.sh from there, but yeah, better check the droid 3 guide11:21
Wizzupand indeed, this link seems broken: https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/solana/README.txt11:21
Wizzupprobably the link would point to https://maedevu.maemo.org/images/bionic/README.txt or so, and I just changed it to solana, not sure11:22
Wizzupbut I would ignore that one11:22
* norayr flashing right firmware11:36
norayrwith this firmware mount command again fails12:05
norayrtrying my version12:05
norayrmy version works12:06
Wizzupnorayr: ok, maybe I need to fix the doc then12:07
WizzupI will try it this weekend on my droid 3 again, since I need to flash it with Android in any case to test out android12:07
Wizzupuvos__ wanted some regs (I think EMIF)12:08
norayrit looks stuck again on kexecboot... doesn't boot to leste. but i have kexecboot12:15
norayrmay it be i need to flash other kexecboot image?12:15
norayri took one from12:15
norayrhttps://github.com/tmlind/droid4-kexecboot12:16
Wizzupdo you have a serial at hand?12:17
norayri don't think so.12:17
Wizzupok12:17
Wizzupplease document what droid3 image you flashed12:17
Wizzupand some other things, so I can reproduce later today or tomorrow12:17
norayryes, btw... i flashed not the latest12:17
norayrbut 061212:18
norayrthere is 061912:18
norayrbecause wiki took me to https://phoenix.maemo.org/view/Images/job/leste-image-bionic/12:18
norayrand it has not the latest image12:18
norayrthe link you posted has12:18
Wizzupright, so please tell me the date12:19
norayrhttps://maedevu.maemo.org/images/droid3/12:19
Wizzupre: droid4-kexecboot, tmlind's should be fine, iirc12:19
norayrmaemo-leste-1.0-armhf-bionic-20220612.img12:19
norayrshould i try 0619? the latest build?12:20
humpelstilzchen[Wizzup?12:20
Wizzuphumpelstilzchen[: yo, are you on beowulf-devel or stable?12:21
humpelstilzchen[beowulf-devel12:21
Wizzupcool, could you try sphone from -devel and confirm if it works for you?12:21
Wizzupalso on my pinephone, pulling devel kernel (from 1 month ago or so) consistently seems to break wifi12:21
Wizzupbut perhaps I have an older/weirder PP12:21
Wizzup(model)12:21
Wizzuphumpelstilzchen[: in particular calls should work ok with speaker and with earpiece, I believe.12:22
humpelstilzchen[Wizzup: no sim, so no phone testing from me, sorry12:22
norayrwill try new image too, no other choice apparently12:23
Wizzuphumpelstilzchen[: aight12:24
Wizzupnorayr: I am not sure if the images are the problem, but like I said, I can verify/test for you later today or tomorrow12:24
Wizzupbrb12:25
Wizzuphumpelstilzchen[: but wifi works for you still, yeah?12:25
humpelstilzchen[Wizzup: Have not noticed anything with 5.15.50-1+2m712:26
norayrWizzup! 0619 booted!12:56
norayrbut the mount line in the script needs to be fixed i believe12:57
norayrbut it looks like it reboots more often than droid413:12
Wizzupnorayr: hm, so the newer image worked?13:12
Wizzupnorayr: yes it reboots often, it's not stable13:12
Wizzupwe're still trying to figure this out13:12
Wizzupcan you still boot to your android from kexecboot btw?13:12
Wizzuphumpelstilzchen[: ok, ty13:13
norayrWizzup, will try!13:13
norayrNow i'd like to updatu kernel and see if it helps13:14
norayrNot sure why, if this is caused by reboots or not, but hildon shows minimized window with web page after first tap to the leftmost upper corner, but then doesn't show the menu after second tap.13:17
Wizzupnorayr: I can tell you the resets will not go away13:17
norayrbackspace button on kbd brings minimized window again13:17
WizzupI don't understand what you're seeing, but it's likely not related13:18
norayrI thought i got used to resets with droid4,sometimes3 or 5 times per day13:18
Wizzupmy droid4 doesn't reset basically ever13:18
Wizzupthe droid3 has known stability problems13:18
norayrAnd it doesn't find any wifi13:19
norayrAps13:19
norayrlet me try to explain again13:19
norayrCannot start terminal13:19
norayrBecause the metu is shown as blank screen13:20
Wizzupsounds like I need to try the image you're trying, but nothing changed there really13:20
Wizzupmaybe it's related to the resets13:20
Wizzupif it resets while writng the list of the desktop file sor so13:20
norayrI think i'll try to disable bt module13:20
Wizzupi.e. filesystem corruption13:20
Wizzupnorayr: should be disabled by default, no?13:20
norayrNo idea13:20
Wizzupit is13:20
Wizzupit sounds like the image you're using has a corrupted fs or the apt-get stuff was interrupted13:21
norayrOk will try to flash the image again, may be fs got badly corrupted13:21
Wizzupin any case, just to set your expectations: the droid3 is _not_ ready for any kind of daily usage13:21
Wizzupit resets randomly and the modem gpio's are configured correctly even13:21
norayrCannot reach apt yet13:21
Wizzupthat said, that is most of the problems summarised.13:21
Wizzupare not configured correctly*13:21
norayrCannot start terminal or connect via ssh bcs no wifi13:21
norayrBut that's ok13:21
norayrI am happy it boots now13:22
Wizzuptried usbnet?13:22
norayrWhat we can tell for sure now is that please check the mount line, i believe it must be changed13:22
norayrnooo13:22
norayrWill activate ip by default? Great13:23
norayrWill try now13:23
Wizzupit has a static ip13:23
Wizzupso you just need to set your static part of it13:23
norayrGood13:23
Wizzuphttps://leste.maemo.org/Status/USB_Peripheral13:23
norayrthe update: android doesn't seem to boot from emmc. i have blank screen and not blinking cursor on it.13:30
norayrpower + vol down should bring device down, right? i guess it's the same with droid413:31
norayrok need to unplug the battery. good it's much easier than with d413:34
Wizzupyeah, so I don't know if you can even still boot android after this action.13:41
Wizzuphumpelstilzchen[: one more q if you don't mind, does usb c work, do you get usbnet?13:42
humpelstilzchen[Wizzup: I have not tested that yet. I can try to do that later. I just need to remove the keyboard for that.13:43
norayrI don't need android anyway13:45
Wizzuphumpelstilzchen[: ah, right.13:46
Wizzupnorayr: I do, to fix the hangs/resets :)13:46
lelMerlijnWajer closed an issue: https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/623 (Image creation failed...)13:52
norayrokay, i see.13:53
humpelstilzchen[Wizzup: how do I test that? I don't get an usbX network device when I connect the PP to my Linux Desktop. However when attaching an USB-Dock I can output to its HDMI14:44
Wizzupright, ok14:44
Wizzupyeah you should just get a usb0 or so when you do14:44
Wizzupmaybe rafael just changed the config somehow14:45
buZzhumpelstilzchen[: the pinephone does USB-C video? i thought the A64 didnt support that17:11
buZzor do you mean a displaylink GPU in the usb dock?17:11
humpelstilzchen[buZz: no idea, when attaching the dock Linux did gave me a second xrandr output. I assumed it was hdmi over usb.18:32
buZzthere is no hdmi over usb, but DP over tb/usbC is possible18:38
buZzi just didnt think A64 supports that18:38
buZzif you could post the xrandr output of the PP when you connect it18:39
