Update to DivestOS_20 2024 July 11 failing on H872

[CueHD]

When attempting to update from the System Updater within Settings, the updating fails while in recovery. The screen shows "error" under the Android logo.

I tried to update from within DivestOS recovery. The error shown is

ERROR: recovery: Error exit from the fuse process: 1 [Install completed with status 1. Installation aborted

Also, I was unable to find within the DivestOS recovery an option to update from SD card. Is it not available?

Can you please download the update to a computer and manually apply the update via adb sideload?

[CueHD]

I can't seem to get my computer to recognize the phone at all. I have tried 3 different computers (Windows 10 desktop, Windows 11 laptop, Linux Mint 20 laptop), several USB cables and ports on 2 of the computers (Win11 laptop only has one port).

The settings app on the phone has many of the USB options greyed out. They only one I seem able to change is the "default USB connection" within developer settings. I am able to charge rapidly from an AC/DC adapter but the ports on the computer do not. "ADB devices" does not show a connection.

Is there a setting or restriction that I am missing which may be restricting my options?

[SkewedZeppelin]

it is possible, but unlikely that I broke USB however to sideload the update you need to be in recovery mode, and that'd also rule out other OS aspects

there is also a OS-only USB restriction:

16.0+: Enable USB restrictions via Settings > Privacy > Trust > Restrict USB > Allow USB connections when unlocked.

Yes, I initially tried to connect while in recovery and the phone was not seen. I did not try all of the various cables, ports etc. from recovery, so I can try again. Is it possible that something regarding USB broke in the recovery partition? I wouldn't know if there has been any change since every update has succeeded from the updater.

I could try installing a different recovery from the DivestOS recovery and see if it changes anything, but I'll try connecting USB again first.

Is installing from SD card not enabled in DivestOS recovery?

There's also mAid (https://maid.binbash.rocks) for ruling out OS issues

I believe the SkewedZepplin was referring to DivestOS when he referred to "OS issues". Thank you for the link, but I know that two of the computers I tried have everything they need to connect to that phone as I used them for unlocking the bootloader and initial installation of custom recovery for this specific phone as well as a few others.

I was able to get a connection using a new cable and USB-C to USB-A adapter while DivestOS system was loaded, but then it did not connect while in DivestOS recovery. I wonder if my phone's USB port is having problems. I'll continue to try later today.

Is there something about the broken LineageOS July builds that is causing DivestOS issues too?

I realize the link is about an unofficial LineageOS21 that is not directly related to the official DivestOS20.

[SkewedZeppelin]

LineageOS 20.0 is largely frozen.

You can have a USB port that charges but doesn't allow data, I have quite a few test devices with bad ports like that.

[CueHD]

I hope it's not the USB port. Is there a way to connect ADB through WiFi while in DivestOS recovery? If not, I suppose I'll have to wait until next month's update and hope that one can be installed.

[SkewedZeppelin]

if usb does not work recovery and fastboot can't really be used

you can try deleting the update in the Updater app and downloading it again also make sure you have a few GB of free space available

[CueHD]

I have ≈ 15 GB free on the device and ≈ 28 GB free on the SD card.

I also verified the zip using the sha512 provided on your website, so corruption shouldn't be a problem.

[CueHD]

I am able to access fastboot from bootloader and ADB from system but not ADB from recovery.

I assume that I should try flashing a different recovery and go from there. Would you recommend that as the next step? Did anything in the recovery change from the May to the June version?

[CueHD]

I changed to OrangeFox recovery using Fastboot and was able to update that way. When I updated, the recovery was updated to the latest DivestOS recovery. I will reply to this issue when the October update is attempted.

[CueHD]

The DivestOS updater did not work again. I'll likely stick with OrangeFox once I get it back on my H872. If you make any changes that might fix the issue, let me know, and I will test if things change along with them.

[CueHD]

After getting OrangeFox installed again, I tried to install the October DivestOS update that I exported from the system updater. It failed stating that the file was corrupted. I then downloaded from the DivestOS devices website, and that one worked.

Perhaps the issue is that something goes wrong with the files downloaded via the updater.
