Hammerhead: camera and hotspot do not work.

[AvverbioPronome]

Phone boots fine, tho. Bootloader relocking works as well. I haven't tried calling, incoming SMS do work.

I'd like to use this phone again, but I can't without camera and hotspot.

I did run a logcat (which I did not save, silly me) and the problem seems to be with some hardware driver.

15.1 or 16.0?

[AvverbioPronome]

15.1 or 16.0?

divested-16.0-20220715-dos-hammerhead

should I go for 15.1?

[SkewedZeppelin]

Yes, give 15.1 a try. 16.0 for hammerhead is a bit broken.

I'm flashing the system. I find that fastboot flash recovery recovery.img doesn't do anything, I still get the stock recovery.

I am using adb sideload after having done fastboot boot recovery.img

[AvverbioPronome]

Flashing the recovery, and OTA updates, work. I just had to install the recovery after the system.

Camera looks like it works. Hotspot claims to be working (the interface switches on and off, which 16.0 didn't do) but doesn't emit any wifi network:

@SkewedZeppelin I tried a lot of stuff, both DivestOS releases, and the last stock image from Google, and I settled on a dev image of /e/OS, which works fine but it's at least one year old. I'd like to give DivestOS another try, if you can guide me to making the rom work or point me to an hammerhead DivestOS user community.

[SkewedZeppelin]

I'll reopen this as it is still an issue.

I don't have this device and it is somehow still holding a high price used.

More logs would help, camera should work on 15.1. Hotspot may be broken by one of the kernel patches? But I haven't seen issues like that on any other 3.4 devices.

[AvverbioPronome]

I haven't forgotten about this issue but I cannot reflash my phone right now. I'll get you your logs eventually.

[SkewedZeppelin]

No worry, I've since acquired a hammerhead. 16.0 fixes are on my TODO list. 15.1 seems stable however.

[AvverbioPronome]

I had to try. I flashed 15.1.

Camera works, hotspot doesn't. logcat.txt

(USB tethering works, but that's not very comfortable -- BT tethering I'm not sure)

[iraklis10]

Camera not working 16.0 if it helps > logcat.txt

[keomabrun]

Thanks for the work ! I have a Nexus 5 hammerhead with 15.1, works like a charm except:

• Wi-Fi hotspot (I can activate the hotspot be the other devices don't see it)
• Bluetooth calls start well, but the sound quality is too low and not usable

Let me know if I can help :) I can run test builds and provide feedback.

[SkewedZeppelin]

an 18.1 based hammerhead is up thanks to @z3DD3r
