I download the recovery.img (4.8 mb) :) But from past experience, I won't try it until I get home to my laptop. Fingers crossed. ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
:( The recovery (given with this ROM) not flashing through hotboot.:eek:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
More builds down the pike. Might wait for the conclusion.

Changes on gerrit builds involve not having a charger in the recovery but in bootimg.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
We seriously need a updated CWM recovery, I tried with CWM v6.0.4.5 by Noe recovery to flash the latest build but still getting same error SET_METADATA_RECURISIVE (status 7).

Can anyone help to get the latest recovery to flash this.:confused:

Build cm_p500-eng-cm-11.0 (Nov 25, 2013 2:04:56 PM)

Will someone try this (started by androidmeda, build 30 minutes ago)?

http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job/android-experimental/368/

ROM:

http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job.../archive/cm-11-20131125-EXPERIMENTAL-p500.zip
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
Failed with TWRP
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] DJNoXD:
Just an idea (which worked on my p990):

Open the zip an replace update-binary and update-script with the files from cm-10.2.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
Flashed successfully. Lets see if it boots. Fingers crossed.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
I had already given that try with 19-11-2013 built, but with that it was successfully flashed but stuck cm logo while rebooting into system. :( But dont know with current one. I think without having correct recovery we can not flash this. :mad:

Just gave a try to flash the recovery given with current rom but still no luck. It flashed through hotboot but afterthat there is blank screen and showing any recovery page. :(
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ajaihs:
Hephappy tried to reduce the recovery size from 5.x to 4.82mb in last build..so that means we must experiment with those recoveries coming with the rom from now...:thumbup:

And yes,he's following our discussions...i jus noticed that long ago..:p

Anyone know whats the size of our recovery partition?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
Yeah stuck at the cm bootlogo. Won't even go upto the boot animation :(
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] alanjolly123:
Try with latest version of cwm....
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
Are you talking about rashed's version? That is much older than the twrp i have.

Anybody tried flashing the boot.img manually through fastboot? Fastboot drivers won't work for me with windows 8(.1)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
yes, I had flashed the boot.img manually through flashtool64 but no luck, still stucked on cm logo.:(

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

We need a latest flashable recovery, hope hehappy reading this thread.:(
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
At this point, is there adb live so one can get back to recovery? Or else, how?

Anyone tried trimming the ROM first? It might just be too big.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Mtdblk2=5mb
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
I didn't try connecting with adb. I can boot back into recovery using the regular key combo. And i think it is about the same size as cm10.2 but i will give it a try when i'm free. Unfortunately i'm busy with exams till friday.

Edit

Flashed without the latinime(11.8mb). Still the same
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Worth the try, o well. Maybe I will try tomorrow myself--I strip these ROMs to bare metal.

adb shell df | grep system?

logcats available at this point?

The animation is when the dalvik business tries to get started after other boot operations done.

Note that to USE the ROM, we need to add some mini-gapps. Rashed's was too large for cm-10.2, contains useless armv7 libs, now also obsolete. I used Rashuld's, also trimmed a bit, have 20+ meg left on system. This is more than enough. But my first attempt with Rashed's gapps that I had always used left me with no space left and all what that means.

Most ROMs will contain or be followed with a flash numerous gapps. Newer gapps look like the work of Microsoft. Creeping featuritus and increasing size. For our devices, anything that can be installed as a user app (i.e. calendar, gallery, etc.) should be so-installed from Play or side-loading and linked away using link2sd or other means. They cannot be system apps on the ROM. Cm-11 is somewhat larger itself but should fit with proper precaution.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Followed your idea. Flashed this ROM:

http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job.../archive/cm-11-20131125-EXPERIMENTAL-p500.zip

using old CWM Touch Recovery (vivekkalady) v.5.0.2.7 successfully :good:

Boot failed, stuck on blue robot :(

Don't know what's wrong. :confused:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ajaihs:
[MENTION=4912093]ibub[/MENTION]

Have you tried using that recovery (4.82mb) from jenkins?

I heard someone saying its not flashing...but still,looking at the commits,if that was not useful,hephappy wouldnt have worked on it..

Tthe previous experimental release had a 5.2mb recovery img which couldnt fit in our 5mb recovery partition and might be the problem i failed to work..

Cant try it myself as ihv reached my datalimits...

:thumbup:Goodluck

---------- Post added at 12:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

Good attempt..but if that was so simple hephappy would have made it atleast boot already..
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
I do not know about "confused," but I tried it with the 5.0.2.7 regular CWM, the 1125 experimental but trimmed like I do it and with the updaters from cm-10.2. Flashed fine. Had 34 meg on system, acceptable. Flashed the smaller trimmed mini-gapps and rebooted.

Stuck on CM Logo othersl have reported. Adb IS live so adb devices shows but adb shell cannot launch. Cannot find /system/bin/sh so most likely system is not mounted (and like nothing else either). This might be a heavy clue?

EDIT: Bash in in /system/xbin. Somewhere, buried in the boot image or some script, this would get symlinked to /system/bin/sh as is normal. So IF system were indeed mounted, then the symlink would be missing!

Adb reboot recovery accomplished, restored backup to cm-10.2.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
Did anyone got success in flashing new recovery (5.04 mb) with the latest rom built 26-11? I tried but still not any success. it is showing same blank screen after flashing this img.:(

Here is the link: http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job/android-experimental/369/
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
Did you try the one from yesterday's eng builds? That was much smaller.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
No I didn't. I took the word of brother who reported failure. Tried to repo init for androidarmv6 last night. One of the tags returned error. Will try again tonight, as it was signature problem. Will also try new recovery images, although I believe that has been covered. IMHO I think that flashing these with old update binary/script will not result in a proper working kitkat. The set metadata type permissions are an integral part of the new OS. If we do not get these to work, we may never be able to run... lollipop? :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
Yes I tried all recovery posted on Jenkins site , but no success. :(
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k2wl:
6.0.37 + recovery is must for cm10.2.

i dont know this has been told or not.

some partions needs secure permissions.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] rishabh22:
The problem is with cm11. cm10.2 works fine.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Nope. I'm using CWM Recovery Touch V5.0.2.7 for CM-10.2 so far it's just fine, even for flashing CM-11 but failed to boot as I posted previously.:)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
Can anyone try this recovery http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job/android-experimental/363/. I tried and its successfully installed and got the main screen but I am not able to go through the menu selection option by pressing Vol+ Vol- buttons, Only power button is working. Can anyone try this and check the problem. :mad: I guess this recovery will work for CM 11.0 :silly:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
By which method did you flash this recovery? From another recovery? If so, which one?

Edit: That one is too large to fit in the partition. Part of the image cannot be written. That would explain why some functions are lost. Hephappy has forked the repo from cyanogenmod to androidarmv6, and has already made changes in graphics to make it smaller. Can you try recovery from later builds using same method of installation?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
I flashed this recovery in hotboot mode through flashtool64 tool. just google to find this tool. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
I will test the smaller recoveries, when I get home, flashing by various methods. Possibly the older recoveries do not handle flashing the newer ones properly.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] k2wl:
i mean for flashing cm11 u need recovery above 6.0.3.7+ ....

because android kitkat 4.4 uses secure permission partition .

that is supported above 6.0.3.7 +
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
So, where can we get one (and one with buttons that work)?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] chalo99:
Hey guys, the last version of cm10.2 seems to be 4.3.1 and the rahulsby gapps doesn't fit because they are for 4.3.0. Can someone give a slim gapps for 4.3.1?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zogu:
Also flashed this recovery with fastboot and with dd, but can't enter recovery, phones reset in fastboot mod. After that tried many others recoveries and neither one can flash cm 11.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] chalo99:
Hey guys, how can I make HALO to work in this cm10.2?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] xu3sno:
Cm-10.2-20131008-Nightly is the last 4.3 iteration, afterward it's 4.3.1.

As I posted a few pages back, I flashed rahulsby's 4.2.2 gapps over cm-10.2 (4.3.1)-20131123-NIGHTLY-p500, and it's just fine. :good:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shinobisoft:
4.3.1 should be backwards compatible in any case, since it's really just an update.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] -DarkKnight-:
You'd have to recompile this room with Halo cherry picks
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Halo is compiled or not in the ROM.

Next best thing: Use Xposed and the XHalo module. If you want bubbles, install Floating Notifications. FN and several launcher-aids will open apps in the Halo mode. XHalo offers even more features.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Excuse my self-reply.

There is a 6.0.4.5 available on NotMyEyes' thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1779252

Reported by poster that it did not flash cm11, had meta-data error.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
recovery.img

Ok, I installed recovery.img from cm-11-20131125-experimental-p500 (last build on that date) via terminal emulator. The shell that I use reboots into recovery. The cm logo appeared for a split second, and then I got blackscreen. But when I plugged in Usb while running Android Flash Recovery, and still in recovery mode, the tool showed message connected to p500 OS 4.4KitKat. So I believe that the recovery is actually working, albeit unusable due to graphics problem (driver?). Getting closer. :D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Sounds good! How does on install recovery.img? Simply copy it?

Android Flash Recover --of what are you speaking?

Logcats possible?

Adb running?
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] shinobisoft:
Android Flash Recovery is a possibility, tho only for Windows at the moment, "dd if= of=" with ADB Shell or terminal emulator, or terminal emulator to call 'flash_image flash recovery recovery.img' where 'recovery.img' is the path to the recovery to flash.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
Hey guys, has anybody tried this latest built of gerrit rom by Hehappy http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job/submission-test/814/. :fingers-crossed:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
Yes, adb running (at least in windows). I think it would be possible for a savvy Linux user to access recovery commands through adb to actually flash these roms. I might even be tempted to try it myself. Although I think I'd need to get some practice first with more traditional recoveries. :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dovidhalevi:
Tried that recovery image with the same result. Thought you were taking about the ROM.

Now had to get out of that. Adb reboot, right back to blank. Removed the battery. Rebooted ... right back to the blank screen.

Adb is completely functional, however, so ...

Extracted the recovery.img from the CWM 6.0.4.5 zip i had downloaded, pushed to sdcard, and flash_image that one.

Rebooted, up in CWM so had my phone back.

How does one select a menu item in this CWM? All other keys work as before but no select (search? power?). This does occasionally happen in CWM but I had to get a normal reboot now!

Took out the battery, rebooted normally. Phewww! Only lost my third homescreen from the Google Experience Launcher. (No big deal but why would that happen?)

Now, hopefully, ROM manager will give me back 5.0.2.7 where I can at least select menu items meanwhile :) Had removed it, had not touched it in ages put reinstalled for this very contingency. I can flash the 6.0.4.5 zip whenever I wish if that one will buy me anything.

A bit scarey.

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Could extract the ROM's boot.img and flash_image that and see what happens. But this is getty a might hairy :)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
That I tried but no luck :mad: Now I am trying to flash through adb command. Lets hope it works :eek:
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
[MENTION=4708203]Dovidhalevi[/MENTION]

Yeah, a bit hairy... scary ;)

That's why I want to practice with older recoveries first. But I'm sure hephappy will get the display to work soon. At least we know it's working. Thanks for the effort brother. :)

Edit: I meant to say that at least we know that adb is working with your debian box. ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] ibub:
I think it might be a good time for me to offer a shell script that I've been using for installing recovery images. It was originally written by ungaze, but would only install one specific recovery.img. So I altered it to enable other recoveries to be installed. Extract the zip to /sdcard/rec. Included instructions file (rec.txt). Simply place chosen recovery.img into rec directory, open terminal (emulator) , type su, enter, type sh /sdcard/rec/rec.sh,enter, Done. Shell reboots phone into new recovery. As usual I claim no responsibility for any unusable recovery image that anyone chooses to flash to their phone. Also included in the zip are several folders containing images. Do not rename the contained images. Just copy to /sdcard/rec.

;)

This is only for p500 family of devices.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] zogu:
Tried to flash from adb shell in recovery (just note, sdcard must be mounted manually), but i'm geting error:

/sdcard # recovery --update_package=/sdcard/cm11.zip

recovery --update_package=/sdcard/cm11.zip

sh: /sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh: not found

And after that nothing happens. When i open new shell can't even reboot recovery, i have to pull battery from phone.

Here are adb commands from recovery, if someone wants to play: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bootable/recovery/+/jb-mr1.1-release/recovery.cpp

all commands are at the beginning of file in comments. I don't have more time, i will try something new tomorrow again...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
I too tried all methods like: terminal command, linux command, adb, fastboot, hotboot, flashtool, all recoveries cwm, twrp, amonra, arm etc., But no success :mad: I guess we need to wait for new recovery and untill then lets try "rhar****" rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2514625. This ROM is awesome with features of Kitkat. And with this ROM I would suggest you to add features of kitkat from this link http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...once-you-get-your-kitkat-update-apk-download/. :cool:

Till then let's hope some one like NOE or Koush could make latest recovery for our P500. :D
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Rashed97:
Hi guys. Just a small note, there is no way 4.4 will ever work on this phone. Doesn't have enough RAM, CPU unsupported, etc..

So for anyone wanting me to try, I've got 1 answer: no.
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] mukulsoni:
Thanks Rashed to let us know this. But we are really sad :(
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] nomancoolboy:
Never expected this kind of post from you ....

Btw kitkat can work properly with 512mb ram ...

And the cpu support was dropped since ics ...but ...we got stable 4.2.2 which works fine ...

And now kitkat is more optimized ..

So we can expect gb or ics like snappy ness in kitkat ..

I will try to make it run on p500 ..untill my p500 die :cool::thumbdown::thumbup::thumbup::thumbdown:

Nothing is impossible dude ...
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Rashed97:
The P500 doesn't have 512 mb of usable RAM. And CPU support is completely and fully gone now
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Dark Passenger:
did you even try...

also when they say 512 its always a module size the actually usage memory I'd never 512 (usually around 300mb).

and fyi hephappy and psyke83 are trying to port cm11 over at androidarmv6 if you would like to lend a hand to them.

also really discouraging :(
[Optimus One, P500 Original Android Development] Rashed97:
I'm not trying to be discouraging, but its not gonna work. Even if it boots it will never be as good as it should.

And I've seen the code, just getting it to boot correctly will be a challenge.

And my time is sucked into school and my 2 other Android projects (CM for the HTC First and unlocking the Moto X bootloader)

I'll always be around for small help, but I'm not gonna develop 4.4 for these phones.

It is pretty good, but if one is already on 4.3, no need to backtrack.

Simply sideload GoogleSearch and the launcher, make use of as home default and voile!

:victory: Hey guys, ITS VICTORY...:victory::victory:

I have successfully flashed and booted the latest kitkat nightly ROM http://jenkins.androidarmv6.org/job/android-experimental/396/.

:highfive: I am attaching two files i.e. binary and script files, just go to META-INF\com\google\android and delete the existing and replace with the attached one. I used TWRP 2.6.3.0 to flash this rom. You need to simple wipe cache data factory reset, flash this rom and reboot after flashing.

It will show new boot logo and may take 5-10 minutes on first boot BUT IF NOT BOOTED SUCCESSFULLY ON FIRST BOOT JUST REMOVE BATTERY AND RESTART AGAIN. It will definetely work but there is so lag and it is not connecting to network and even not mounting Sd card.

I am attaching some screenshot taken by other camera as this rom not showing screenshot option too. My aim to post this thing is just to show those developers who saying that Kitkat will not support our super device p500:cowboy: just give a try and find the other error's solution. :highfive:
