Failure to flash 0.8.0 to PinePhone #228

Closed KenDickey closed 2 years ago

KenDickey commented 2 years ago

flash.out.txt

I invoke flash-sd.sh from unpacked gd-v0.8.0-pinephone-userdebug.tar.gz Running Raspian Linux on RasPi4. Did sudo apt-get install adb android-libext4-utils fastboot to get aarch64/arm64 versions of fastboot (x86 version did not work well ;^)

After flash-sd.sh script Notes from "flash.out.txt": Invalid sparse file format at header magic ... Warning: userdata type is raw, but ext4 was requested for formatting. /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/mke2fs failed with status 1 fastboot: error: Cannot generate image for userdata

Symptom is that reboot shows green status light on PinePhone but screen remains blank and PinePhone unresponsive.

Any help? Thanks a bunch! -KenD

Hi,

Looks like mke2fs is trying to generate an image and fails to store it. No permissions?

KenDickey commented 2 years ago

Same symptom with sudo

fastboot.bug.txt

Other suggestions?

KenDickey commented 2 years ago

Hmmm.. local dir's mke2fs is also an x86 binary.

Did a sim link

Raspian:RasPi4:~/Downloads/GoDroid >>> sudo ls -lasth /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/mke2fs 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Oct 21 14:55 /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/mke2fs -> /usr/sbin/mke2fs

But error still exists..

Raspian:RasPi4:~/Downloads/GoDroid >>> sudo ./fastboot format:ext4 userdata Warning: userdata type is raw, but ext4 was requested for formatting. mke2fs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021) /tmp/TemporaryFile-CPYZWd: Unimplemented ext2 library function while setting up superblock /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/mke2fs failed with status 1 fastboot: error: Cannot generate image for userdata

Can you try to erase partitions instead of formatting? It worked for older version of Android, where system rebooted into recovery and does the formatting there automatically.

I.e. fastboot erase userdata

Note that FastBoot screen does display on phone.

Try Again Factory Data Reset

Tried the factory data reset as well. Still no joy.

Tried again with 0.8.1. Still no joy. failure.out.txt

Using RapsberryPI as a host isn't supported. Please try x86-based linux.

Wow. It has been quite a while. I did find an old Intel x86 box in the closet. Gigantic heat sinks and multiple fans. Gack!

Also, Ubuntu distro is 3.8 GB. I'll try LUbuntu which at 2.7 GB is still bloatware, IMHO.

Sorry, I am used to Smalltalk, where I can run the same image -- pixel per pixel -- on Intel/ARM/RISCV under whatever OS. I even built the VM on PinePhone using Manjaro and on a RISCV using Debian.

Sorry to hear that one still needs to use an x86 CPU to build/install for ARM. I hope "self hosting" gets into your goal set at some point.

Looks like still an hour download to get the LUbuntu iso. I'll let you know how this works.

Thanks much for the help. Sorry for the rant. It has been quite some time since I have used Intel CPUs. My house is net-zero and I prefer to send the excess electrons to shut down peaker generating plants. The ol' Intel/AMD box does warm the house, however. ;^)

KenDickey commented 2 years ago

OK. x86/64 was overheating, so after vacuuming out fan, replacing thermal paste under heat sinks, and installing a Linux (antiX), redownloading GoDroid et al..

I still get the symptom above.

herbsmn commented 2 years ago

I didn't save my logs but I had a similar issue using flash-sd.sh on x86 when trying to install GloDroid v0.8.1 onto my Pinephone.

flash-emmc.sh ended up working fine, though, and since I wanted GloDroid on my emmc anyways I didn't investigate the issue with flash-sd.sh failing while writing 'super' any further.

KenDickey commented 2 years ago

Thanks for this!
I was able to dd the deploy-sd-for-emmc.img onto the SD and to successfully run the flash-emmc.sh script. A looooo..oong time after the green light, I noted the Android boot screen. Now I have to figure out WTH is Android! :^)

KenDickey commented 2 years ago

Works with Intel Linux connected & emmc script.

herbsmn commented 2 years ago

Happy to help! Now makes me wonder if the flash-emmc.sh script works on arm too.

herbsmn commented 2 years ago

Also, it seems like we have identified some sort of bug with flash-sd.sh for the PinePhone on 0.8.0 and 0.8.1. Maybe we should change the name of the issue to reflect that and open it back up.

Nope. Tried that first. "./fastboot format:ext4 userdata" still fails on arm64 linux.
