Trouble with make mobile-install #1

Closed boxofrabbits closed 3 months ago

boxofrabbits commented 4 months ago

Hey guys Really excited about this project.

I'm having some basic trouble with the adb command "make mobile-install" It doesn't seem to be in anyway recognised as a command with platform-tools. I'm definitely doing something silly, would greatly appreciate a point int he right direction.

master-hax commented 4 months ago

mobile-install is a target in the Makefile.

if you are not using a linux computer or you don't want to install Make, you can manually copy the scripts to the pixel.

Thanks for your reply. I'm so close to getting this to work.

I'm currently getting mnt/my_drive : No such file of directory when trying to mount the ext4 drive.

Do you have any ideas?

Also I don't think I quite undersatdn the difference between show_devices and find_device. I've been using show_devices to find my UUID

master-hax commented 4 months ago

do you mind sharing the command you're running? we're not looking for the UUID, we're looking for the block device. the filesystem UUID just helps us find the block device.

your drive is almost certainly at /dev/block/sdg1, so you would run the following command:

./mount_ext4.sh /dev/block/sdg1

i should look into automating this.

Hello! Sorry for not getting back to you. I got it working and actually made a little menu script to make things easier. menu.txt

Thank you so much for putting this all together. Really cool.
