There you go, sorry: http://goo.im/devs/Androguide/Ubuntu-Touch/find5/saucy-preinstalled-find5-armhf-2.zip

You'll also need to flash the Ubuntu base after flashing this build: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-t...ed/current/saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip

Thanks a lot :good: I can't really do anything until I got some feedback & logs for what works & doesn't.
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
No problem buddy but hey guess what... I flashed "saucy-preinstalled-find5-armhf-2.zip" now I cant get into recovery I was using TWRP and i know you said "need to flash the Ubuntu base after flashing this build" but since i cant get into recovery I can only get into fastboot mode Do I flash this one via adb? Sorry for the noobish question
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
It shouldn't touch your recovery partition at all, do you mean you can't go to recovery because it doesn't boot?

What does adb reboot recovery do?

Otherwise just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img a TWRP image, but this is pretty weird.

Oh, and when I say flash the Ubuntu base after, you don't need to reboot in between, just flash both zips one after the other, the build first and the ubuntu base afterwards. (Also remember to do a factory reset, wipe dalvik-cache and, optionally, /system
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
fuqqqq :( well right now it WONT boot up just stays in the green oppo logo splash screen but....

This is what ive done so far so i can flash the TWRP image back on....I do fastboot flash recovery "here i put the recovery .img" but it doesnt want to flash it.

Then I thought why dont i just flash the other file you told me to flash So I try to do that..

I run fastboot flash recovery saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf and i get the following error

I get error cannot load ' saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf''

I even tried it on the recovery .img file but i get

error cannot load 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-find5'

What i should of done was what you said, flash one right after the other but I didnt...... I by 2nd nature just wiped dalvik cache and i tapped reboot system. So im kinda stuck right now. Does it help that when I do fastboot devices I can see the random numbers generated by my device? I read on a blog for the oppo find 5 that After entering this command ( fastboot devices ), you’ll see the random numbers appeared in the command prompt. This is to ensure that your device is properly connected.)

ANY help you give me is valued. Thank you sir.
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
From your error message, you simply didn't add the .img extension to the twrp image

Also, you can't fastboot a zip, don't try.

But, did you try to simply do the following?

adb reboot recovery

There's absolutely no reason why it would have overwritten your recovery, my guess is you can't reboot to recovery using the button combination.

Anyway, if the above doesn't work, follow these steps to reflash your recovery:

Open a terminal on your pc

Make sure you cd to the directory where your twrp image is

issue the following command:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-find5[COLOR="DarkRed"].img[/COLOR]

Reboot to recovery using:

adb reboot recovery

Are you on windows or linux?
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
Okay so I did that I flashed the recovery.img then I rebooted using fastboot reboot

Now i proceed to doing adb reboot recovery but i get

error: device not found

Please excuse me as i am not an elite developer im not a noob nor an expert but It could be that I couldnt get the drivers for the phone installed. I know adam outler on G+ said as quoted

May that be the resolution ?

im on windows 8 (Yes i know... Windows 8 Sucks)
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
I don't think it's an usb driver issue since you have fastboot working. It's true that we don't have adb access when in fastboot mode.

Follow this guide, it's exactly about your issue and assumes you're on windows: Unbrick the Find 5(Software unbrick via fastboot)
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
Okayy sorry im taking forever to reply im trying it out and its not working...

no matter what img i flash to it it wont go into recovery when i hold down power + vol down

dunno what to do from this point. I will keep trying
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Try this:

Download a CM build

Open it with winrar and extract the boot.img from it

hold shift and do a right-click in the folder where you extracted the boot.img, and select "open a terminal here" (or whatever the header is)

Issue this command

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Now try again to reboot to recovery using the buttons combination
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
hurray so i managed to get the phone working by using a script found in that one thread you linked me too.. never the less i managed to get into TWRP and from there i had already made a backup (THANK GOD) and i restored and the phone is up and running perfectly. Now what Im going to do is what you instructed to do first.

1. the build first

2. then the ubuntu base afterwards

with

factory reset, wipe dalvik-cache

i will post back my results wish me luck :D
[Oppo Find 5] mhall119:
I've noticed that the Find 5 is kind of hit-or-miss when trying to get into recovery using the power+volume-down combo. It seems that maybe you need to have it disconnected from USB, and start pressing volume-down very soon after, but not at the same instant, as the power button. Also, it takes a while of looking at the OPPO splash before it gets into recovery.
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
Yes mhall you are correct. I found a little trick to get it into recovery...well im not sure if its a trick or not but its what helped me get back into recovery after it not booting up. I might make a video about it later. But heres an update:

So i flashed both the build and the preinstalled package and then did factory reset which wipes out cache and dalvik

then i rebooted.

RESUTLS: it stays on the bootscreen aka OPPO GREEN LOGO.

what do you think is the problem now Androguide.fr ?

I did EVERYTHING you told me too
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Yeah, Michael Hall reported to me that the build doesn't boot either.

I'm working on a new build using a different toolchain, as with the stock Google TC I had to hack my around -Werror flags and this might be the problem.

I'll post the progress here.
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
Yes sir, Last night i spend hours trying to make it boot to no avail.

I even tried the way this guy did it. > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44667990#post44667990

On that thread the links he posted are dead but i managed to backtrace them online BUT still didnt boot up.

Im ready when you are so let me know what you come up with and ill be here ready to flash. :good:
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
I don't think I changed much... basically followed the tutorial, able to boot up with minimal effort

will have to take a look when I get home at my other computer
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
That would be greatly appreciate it. paperWastage I managed to find the files you posted a link too but for some reason

I was stuck on the booting screen. How did you get it too boot? -please disregard my noobness
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
i'm pretty sure you don't have the right version of CM10.1 base to boot (i've only uploaded to d-h.st, not to my files.ngvincent.com server or anywhere else)
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
probably not..but here is where I got the cm base http://get.cm/?device=find5
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
nope, you need a specific cm base + kernel, built for ubuntu touch
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
Well i guess im out of luck as im limited to my current knowledge..

if you guys need someone to flash the image too im here (IM NOT TRYING TO TAKE ANYONES CREDIT ILL JUST BE A GUINEA PIG)
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Were the saucy builds already out when you ported Touch, or was it still raring at that time?
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Alright, here's an observation.

I am maintaining Ubuntu Touch for the international Galaxy S3, and today I made a new build, flashed it using the current ubuntu base, and it didn't boot.

So I tested my last build (30/07/2013) with the current ubuntu base (16/08/2013) and it didn't boot either.

Now I re-tested my 30/07 build with the 30/07 ubuntu base and it booted properly, like it used to.

So the ubuntu base also plays a role in whether our builds will boot or not, which I wasn't really aware of.

I am about to test the build I made today with the 30/07 ubuntu base and see what happens.

EDIT: As expected, today's build boots properly with the 30/07 ubuntu base.

[MENTION=4126531]SystemErrorOne[/MENTION] would you mind trying the following?

Download this ubuntu base: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to.../current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

Boot to recovery

Make a full nandroid backup

Do a factory reset and wipe dalvik-cache and /system

Flash my build (http://goo.im/devs/Androguide/Ubuntu-Touch/find5/saucy-preinstalled-find5-armhf-2.zip)

Flash the ubuntu base you downloaded in step 1 (without rebooting in between^^)

Reboot
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
Sweet! Yessir Im downloading the images right now.. will report back with results!

Update: Still hangs on oppo screen and no boot after waiting for like 5 minutes after I followed the steps correctly like you mentioned above.
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Alright, thanks a lot for testing it.

I've just found how to build it without the hackish stuff I had to do for last build (i.e: grep-ing/sed-ing all -Werror gcc flags from the kernel and harware/qcom, as CFLAGS=-Wno-error make didn't seem to work).

So I'll soon get another build for you to test if you're still OK with it.
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
Yeah im fine with that just try to send me the new build soon as i am selling this phone soon I have one day left on the bid. I kinda wanna keep the phone but i get more $ from it than I do from using it. Plus i have more than one phone so its alright.

Let me know when you get the new build ready.

[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Here you go: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490000394

Please follow the same instructions as in my previous post (minus the backup).

And if it doesn't bother you, if one ubuntu base doesn't work, re-follow the instructions again but with the other one (the one you downloaded yesterday & the one I linked in my previous post).
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
well im kinda fcked up now... i did what you mentioned last and it didnt boot properly so I go to download the file you put above and when I try to use that one script to get me into recovery it doesnt wanna work...So i did what you said fastboot flash boot boot.img (That I extracted from a nightly for the find 5) and it does the boot animation but just stays on the boot animations and doesnt do ANYTHING. I cant even get into recovery the way I used to using that one script. Damn it.
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
If it goes to the bootanimation, then adb should work. Try to adb reboot recovery.
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
ehh fml I got it working again I think its just the button combo that im doing wrong. But alas im back in recovery..What I could do is factory reset and just not flash anything else but since you ve worked hard making those builds i will try one more time before my big is over i have 3 hours left wish me luck!

UPDATE: Still nothing...

I know you mentioned to flash the different builds but too be honest im a bit lost now. I did what you told me last post and it still didnt work i tried flashing 2 different builds and still nothing.

If you could tell me what to do now then I would appreciate it. As it seems at the moment there is no success so far and if you could point to which files to flash correclty maybe that will solve the issue...or get on skype and we can talk over the cam better
[Oppo Find 5] paperWastage:
think you're mixing up how the images/fastboot/adb work together

here's a primer:

how to revert back to android using your nandroid backup

(Hard) power off your device (press and hold power button until nothing shows

Boot to recovery(press and hold power button + volume down key -> hard part here

-- the timing matters... as someone mentioned above, you need to press power first then vol-down almost immediately after... the OPPO green logo will show for a long time (>30s), before your recovery shows up

fastboot:

Used to flash boot.img (new kernel), recovery.img (new recovery), update.zip(new ROM)

He told you to fastboot boot boot.img, in case it was the kernel preventing you from entering recovery

I think something else is delaying the boot-to-recovery step... .Tried flashing Androguide.fr's ubuntu cm10.1, same problems

-> first boot, oppo green screen, then the display-caf update screen(chinese words), then blank screen

-> had to hard reboot, stuck at oppo green screen

-> spent next 30 minutes trying to get the right timing and wait >30s to see if recovery shows up... couldn't boot to recovery through fastboot :(

think the boot-to-recovery step prevents me from getting a good last_kmsg :(
[Oppo Find 5] SystemErrorOne:
Been there done that & I appreciate the very detailed response. What helped me get back to recovery was

Fastboot flash recovery (recovery name) .img then

Fastboot reboot > & you should be able to get back into twrp or cwm worked for me & yes I agree button combo is tricky.

Update: as of right now I'm done flashing ubuntu to this phone it was fun while it lasted. Good luck cheers
[Oppo Find 5] mhall119:
Thanks for trying, I was doing the same and always had the same results as you, but I'm happy to keep trying new images/instructions until we find one that works.

Not a problem just keep on trying im sure you guys can do it.

Good luck! See ya on G+

[MENTION=4752917]Androguide.fr[/MENTION] if you're still looking for someone to test your builds i've got a Find 5 and wouldnt mind helping out.
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Thanks a lot :good:

I'm kinda out of ideas right now given that no logs could be retrieved from the previous builds.

Although I seem to remember that SystemErrorOne said that one of the builds was sitting on a black-screen, which most likely means adb would be available. I'll go through the thread again.

I'm not giving-up, but blind-development is tough.

EDIT: Got an idea, will be posting a build in a few.

The current default architecture is "flipped-containers", meaning Android runs on top of Ubuntu, instead of the contrary, like it used to be the default for quantal, raring & early saucy builds.

I'll try to "un-flip" the build, and it could work if flashed with an early ubuntu 13.10 base.
[Oppo Find 5] axelyates:
lol well that was quick. alright ill be looking for it.

---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 AM ----------

Would there be any benefit to Ubuntu flipping it like that? I.e. faster boot times?
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Well, both have their benefits and their inconvenience. It was easier to port using the un-flipped version, as it would boot on Android and then chroot to the ubuntu container, but with the flipped containers we get ubuntu running natively on the device, with Android on top of it, both communicating through libhybris.

As far as performance goes I don't know if it changes much, but either way Ubuntu Touch is way faster to boot than Android due to the absence of the Dalvik VM.

EDIT: Here's a quote from the flipped porting guide about this:

Anyways, here's an attempt.

Please download these 2 files:

Device part: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490000654

Ubuntu Part: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490000655

Then reboot to recovery, make a backup of your current Rom if needed, then do a factory reset, wipe dalvik-cache and /system.

After which, flash the device part first, followed by the Ubuntu part, and reboot.

If the boot process goes past the Oppo boot logo and sits on a black screen but doesn't boot after a few minutes, please try to grab a logcat.
[Oppo Find 5] axelyates:
alright. im downloading now, ill let you know what i get when i have them tested.

EDIT: so d/l the files you had..put them on the F5....booted into TWRP..flashed them device then ubuntu...rebooted...it rebooted itself...got stuck on the black screen you were talking about and rebooted it myself just to double check and it booted the logo then black screen again. im letting it hold for a minute or so but im assuming it'll just hang.
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Please take a logcat of the device booting and hanging, connect it to your pc and use adb:

adb logcat > logcat-ubuntu.txt

If you don't have adb installed please tell me which OS you're running on your pc and I'll point you to the right instructions.
[Oppo Find 5] axelyates:
no i've got adb installed and put in the logcat info but it keeps giving me "waiting for device"
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Ok, well I guess something stops the boot process before the adb shell is available then :(

Well, please reboot to recovery and use adb to get the last kmsg (but the console will probably be flushed as you'll have to use the button combo):

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/kmsg-ubuntu.txt && adb pull /sdcard/kmsg-ubuntu.txt
[Oppo Find 5] axelyates:
that's what i was thinking as well..however could you walk me through it just in case i'm missing a step?
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Sure, what do you want me to walk you through?
[Oppo Find 5] axelyates:
well really the only thing im hung up on is making the logcat. i've flashed both zips and i get the end logcat file it's just empty.
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Oh, that's most likely not your fault, the build just doesn't boot to the point where adb is functionnal.

You can maybe get the kmsg however, by booting into recovery and using the following adb command:

adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/kmsg-ubuntu.txt && adb pull /sdcard/kmsg-ubuntu.txt
[Oppo Find 5] mhall119:
There's going to be a porting clinic this thursday if you want to attend and try and get a Find 5 image working: https://daniel.holba.ch/blog/2013/08/ubuntu-touch-porting-clinic-next-thursday/

Or you can join #ubuntu-touch on Freenode IRC any time to ask questions or get help.

[MENTION=3123968]axelyates[/MENTION] here is a new build if you don't mind giving it a try.

find5 part: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490001889

ubuntu part: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-t...ed/current/saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip

If the build doesn't boot and/or adb isn't accessible, please try to fastboot this alternative kernel (well, only the ramdisk is different to be accurate) : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490001890
[Oppo Find 5] axelyates:
[MENTION=4752917]Androguide.fr[/MENTION] im downloading now. I'll let you know what ends up happening

EDIT: so i'm getting the same errors as before and when i try and run the "adb shell cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/kmsg-ubuntu.txt && adb pull /sdcard/kmsg-ubuntu.txt" command its telling me that the system cannot find the path specified. the logcat is still outputting a blank text as well
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Thanks for the feedback.

If you're still on the build, can you please try to do the following and post the results :

adb shell
ls -n
[Oppo Find 5] axelyates:
i sent you a pm of what i got when i did "adb shell ls -n" let me know if you need me to do it the other way.
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Thanks, don't bother reflashing it just to grab this, no worries.
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Alright, I installed a flipped build of Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus 7, and so I figured out why the logcat is empty and why you can't grab the kmsg.

I'm writing a little script to work around this and grab the logcat & kmsg anyway, will you mind re-flashing yesterday's build and running the script when I'm done, [MENTION=3123968]axelyates[/MENTION] ?

Getting those logs is really one of my last hopes of making some progress.

EDIT: Are you running Windows, Mac or Linux on your PC?
[Oppo Find 5] axelyates:
[MENTION=4752917]Androguide.fr[/MENTION] brilliant, just let me know. and i'm running windows 8.
[Oppo Find 5] Androguide.fr:
Alright, thanks a lot:good:

Then here's how to use the scripts I'm attaching to this post:

Unzip the package to the folder you want

Open a command prompt in this folder (I believe it's shift+right click on windows), or anywhere and just cd to it

run the following commands to push the scripts to the device

adb push timeout.sh timeout.sh
adb push getlogs_ondevice.sh getlogs.sh

run these commands to execute the main script (it will ask you how much time to grab from the logs, input something like 15 at minimum):

adb shell sudo chmod +x timeout.sh
adb shell sudo chmod +x getlogs.sh
adb shell
./getlogs.sh

Finally, to pull the zip package containing the logs:

adb pull Ubuntu-Logs.zip
adb shell rm -f Ubuntu-Logs.zip

This will get you a zip containing the kmsg and all the logs (main/system/radio/events), please post it back here.

PS: Don't worry about the additional getlogs.sh script that's in the package I attached, it was to avoid you all these steps but it won't work on windows
