Problem installing with Pixel_3a_XL_API_25 and android 7

[flazouh]

I'm trying to execute $ ./rootAVD.sh system-images/android-34/google_apis_playstore/arm64-v8a/ramdisk.img FAKEBOOTIMG

But I get

$ ./rootAVD.sh system-images/android-34/google_apis_playstore/arm64-v8a/ramdisk.img FAKEBOOTIMG

It seems that it can't write the fakebook.img to the device, even though I'm launching it with :

/Users/alex/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator @Pixel_3a_XL_API_25 -memory 4096 -writable-system

[flazouh]

I tried :

adb root adb shell avbctl disable-verification adb reboot adb root adb remount

But I get

$ adb shell avbctl disable-verification
/system/bin/sh: avbctl: not found

But I don't get any popups such as "Requires additionnal setup" ...

[newbit1]

I tried :

adb root adb shell avbctl disable-verification adb reboot adb root adb remount

But I get

$ adb shell avbctl disable-verification
/system/bin/sh: avbctl: not found

But I don't get any popups such as "Requires additionnal setup" ...

You don't need these commands.

android-34 is not Android 7. Use the same ramdisk from the running avd.

It seems you didn't patched the fake boot.img. Didn`t the Magisk App pop up after

[*] Install/Patch /sdcard/Download/fakeboot.img and hit Enter when done(max. 60s)

[flazouh]

where do I find this boot.img? I don't see the instructions about that in the README.MD

[newbit1]

/sdcard/Download/fakeboot.img

There is a video/gif and a passage about the fakeboot.img in the readme. Also some hints appear in the script, when it waits for you to patch it in Magisk. The script even openes Magisk for you, very simple, i thought.

[realyukii]

Hi @newbit1 I tried your script again, but this time I couldn't find fakeboot.img. is there something that must be done so that fakeboot.img appears? I have tried the fakeboot argument: .\rootAVD.bat system-images\android-31\google_apis\x86_64\ramdisk.img FAKEBOOTIMG

and while [*] Install/Patch /sdcard/Download/fakeboot.img and hit Enter when done(max. 60s) I try to emulator64_x86_64_arm64:/ $ ls /sdcard/Download/ but the directory is still empty

I use the canary version of magisk

[newbit1]

no nothing special is needed. If the script says it is under /sdcard/Download/fakeboot.img

it should be there.

Can you post the full log? Perhaps there is a different issue before.

[newbit1]

hm, it seems they are two but unrelated issues. First PS indicates you run the script with powershell, use cmd instead.

second, there is an wget issue, which doesn't break the script. Seems weird this way.

But you have put your canary version already as local, so no issue there.

[realyukii]

Okay, I will give it a shoot on cmd:

as i said, unrelated issues.

this needs more investigation...
