Hi all I'm trying to build a Lineageos 14.1 from source, as i'm trying to add support for a USB Wifi card.

I'm using the "UNOFFICIAL Lineage OS for Samsung Galaxy S5+ / G901F / kccat6xx" source originally worked on by sktjdgns1189 then forked to 14.1 by ionkiwi and github-cygwin on git hub. I've had some degree of success compiling the source code to an installable file. However. As soon as i start messing with the kernel config, even if i open the menuconfig making no changes but save and recompile using the following process...

Step1

and open the config page using...

Step2

Make no changes but save and quit then copy the file back.

Step3

and recompile with

Step4

All the above works without any problems and the kernel compile completes successfully. However. when I try and create the new LineageOS image, fully recompiling the whole ROM with the new kernel config, i get the following errors.

This is really messing with my head. The LineageOS build all compiles fine, up until try and save a config (without changes). What am i doing wrong? The kernel compiles without errors on it's own, but not as part of the LineageOS brunch build.

I can fix the types.h error by creating a symbolic link for generic-asm to asm. but then i hit more errors later in other modules. The weired thing is it all compiles out of the straight from the repo I only run into problems when I've recompiled the kernel. Even without the changes to the config files it imports in step 1 above. When i get the kernel to successfully recompile with LineageOS, I want to add the following.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] DiamondJay20:
the charging port is loose, and I know all my USB C cables are good. Can I replace the bottom with ANY model bottom chin, or it needs to be an H820 like mine is? I want an OEM part, not a knockoff part.
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] DiamondJay20:
can someone please answer so I know whether to spend 60 bucks on ebay? thanks!!
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] lilhaiti:
The chin is a "generic" part of the​ G5, so yes you can use chins from other G5 models.

I tried the international version chin, and it did not work; it said on the screen "plug in a compatible module." FYI

If you look closely there are yellow markings that said

"NA" American Versions

"GL" Global

"SKT" "KR" Korean

"NA"*front *AT&T_XX"from the back of the module: At&t, XX is some random numbers

Also : GET THE RIGHT VERSION IF YOU WANT YOUR CELLPHONE SIGNAL TO REMAIN GOOD. Probably different variants have different antenna frames in the module soo be careful

Well actually, have u tried searching on how to replace Android os with bodhi?, u could also say the same for the 13.04 Ubuntu desktop as well.... That is of u know how to change the repos, update and fix errors. Arch Linux is another option... Been trying to get that one to work but nothing happens correctly smh

i understand there is a difference between arm and x86 architecture but is there anyway to install for example lubuntu or lxle on grouper.

Also there is support for installing all ubuntus befor 13.04 so if i download lubuntu 12.04 is it going to work since it is based on ubuntu?!?

Hi,

I finally found the real method to boot our Amazfit watch into fastboot. It is difficult to success at any time, but you should be able to boot fastboot directly after some try.

Here is the procedure : (I've made a video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlXoeq30vM0 )

When you try, I advice to put the watch in its charging base, the usb Cable connected to the base, but not on the PC.

Here are the steps to go in fastboot mode :

1) press the power button 2 seconds

2) release the button et repress it again without releasing it

3) when the screen of the watch switch off, plug the usb cable.

4) when the screen turn on, count from 1 to 4. At 4 release the power button. You are now in fastboot.

If it fails, try again. It is a little difficult. :D

Hope this helps.

[Other SmartWatches] Neuer_User:
Guys, that is so great! And [MENTION=4490808]kiralex1995[/MENTION] deserves highest thanks for his finding! We need to get a stickied post for this!!

[MENTION=576939]1immortal[/MENTION]: I'll prepare instructions for you. You will need a modified boot image and then boot this. Then you can flash system from there!
[Other SmartWatches] MyriaBoa:
Accidentally opened fastboot with a different method.

My device didn't show up under Windows 7, after I installed adb and fastboot drivers.

So with device connected to usb I typed adb kill-server, then adb start-server and adb wait-for-device then I switched it on and off... tadaa fastboot. See picture with command lines.
[Other SmartWatches] Neuer_User:
Interesting. See if you can make it reproducable. That would be great!

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

I wrote some unbricking instructions and a flash script to recover bricked watches with [MENTION=4490808]kiralex1995[/MENTION] method of entering fastboot.

Hope, it helps recover the small number of watches known to be bricked through flashing.

[MENTION=4490808]kiralex1995[/MENTION] , Thanks a Gazillion !!!

[Other SmartWatches] MyriaBoa:
My fastboot method was reproducable on a different machine on Windows 10 . Needed 2 attempts. Seems a question of timing. Right before it happens, the computer makes the notification sound for 'new usb device detected'.
[Other SmartWatches] alexinc:
maybe you need to explain a little bit more detailed? is the watch running and completely booted when you connect to usb and type those adb commands or is it switched off? when you turn it on, how fast do you turn it off? i didn't get it yet. please explain a bit more. :)
[Other SmartWatches] Neuer_User:
It is interesting. Does it work with out th.e adb kill-server and adb start-server commands? I do not see, how they could be involved... :confused:

The adb wait-for-server might be the key. So, when the watch is started, there is some USB communication on-going. I'd love to do some testing on that. Will do that for sure, when I get the development watch :)
[Other SmartWatches] MyriaBoa:
I' m not near my computer, so I can't do more tests now.

As I wrote in my first post, it wasn't my intention to open fastboot, when it accindentally happened for the first time.

The kill and start commands were given, because my Windows 7 machine pretended not to see the watch in adb (only as usb), and I thought, maybe it's detected, when I turn it on while adb is waiting for device and the usb notification 'kicks in'.

But nothing happened, so I pushed the button, to turn the watch off again.

To my surprise the result was fastboot.

I repeated the same steps today on my Windows 10 computer that always detects the watch in adb and it opened fastboot again.

[Other SmartWatches] ParotZ:
Thanks. :D
[Other SmartWatches] endrancer:
can confirm that this method (sort of) works for stratos as well.

i guess the important part is the 4 seconds after the light goes on. i have done it in like the 8th try.

i guess pulling the usb cable and reattaching it is not really required...

Hi all together,

yes I can confirm that plugging the cable is not neccessary. Went back to stock yesterday. Got into fastboot on first try. :o
[Other SmartWatches] E-lian:
I'm trying that on an actual Stratos watch way longer than 40 minutes - maybe you could help me: I have an "A1619"-model with firmware 2.3.5.0. Same for other Stratos users?

Unlike in the linked video, when I'm at step #4, the "A."-logo appears after about 2 seconds again, so if I release the power button after 4, it's already visible and bootup goes on as normal. Did you notice the same behavior with the "A."-logo before accessing fastboot?
[Other SmartWatches] MorpheusPL:
Hello

I've bricked my Pace and cannot enter fastboot.

When I try to enter fastboot I have the same behaviour on my Amazfit Pace. Have You managed some how to enter the fastboot without connection to the PC?
[Other SmartWatches] E-lian:
[MENTION=1748846]MorpheusPL[/MENTION]: sorry, didn't get it working and meanwhile returned the Stratos back to the dealer. Several different con's, one of them the non-working of entering fastboot mode.
[Other SmartWatches] Doudouche:
I had also some problems to boot in fastboot on my Stratos using the given method.

My method had been :

1) plug the watch to PC

2) start it

3) sometimes you here that the watch is detected, once it is, type "adb reboot fastboot"

4) The watch reboot, then the screen switch off and then on => At that time press the power button for 4 sec.

5) you are in fastboot ... normally :)

Hope that helps
[Other SmartWatches] rmm02:
Hi all,

Is there any chance that one of those two methods can be done without power button? My button is not working after my Pace sank in my son's bathtub, so it's being impossible to get in fastboot mode, as both methods you have to use the power button. And, factory reset has a very odd behaviour, it reboots instead of resetting.

The watch was fine... with double-tap all tasks could be done OK. But after I changed my phone, my sync has gone with it.

To re-pair I need to enter QR code. As factory reset not working, tried many other things, nothing worked.

* Settings -> Device -> Factory reset NOK (reboot normally)

* adb reboot fastboot NOK (reboot normally)

* adb wait-for-device NOK (reboot normally) => if the watch is off, when I plug it in usb, it power on by itself (seems to be a backup mechanism of the button).

* adb wipe NOK (needs root)

Really appreciate any help on that.

Thank you.
[Other SmartWatches] ncarneiro:
Exact same situation here. Watch is suposedly working, but no button and no way so far to get in qr-code screen. Have you found a solution?
[Other SmartWatches] BRB2HH:
step 5: choose fastboot or erase (deep flash) mode

It's important that you are not direktly in fastboot mode after the 4 steps. You have to choose 1. fastboot mode or 2. deep flash mode by pushing the power button 1 or 2 times.

thanks for this tutorial. maybe this help anyone.

Trying to enter FastBoot mode in Amazfit Pace

I'm having a hard time accessing Fastboot from my Amazfit Pace ... :( I've tried the @ kiraless1995 method more than 70 times and

i can't get the clock into fastboot mode.

One question [MENTION=8007019]MyriaBoa[/MENTION]: When you gave the command: kill-server, you remember if your watch was USB-recognized or was unrecognized yet ?? Because mine recognizes quickly and then exits, then the "No Command" screen appears on the Amazfit.

In one of the attempts with the commands, when I typed "adb wait-for-device" the screen was turned on without the logo A. Then I hung up and turned on, but didn't access FastBoot.

I am very nervous with this problem. If anyone can help me with some other solution.

I also tried the "adb shell reboot bootloader" command and Amazfit returns with the message:

- exec '/ system / bin / sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -

using port = 5555 ":crying:

Tks a lot!

Is there also any way to get into fastboot with an Amazfit Bip?

I think I bricked my Bip today, I updated the firmware through N&F app, then it restarted somehow, went black with some strange tearing/stripes and then didn't do anything anymore :confused:

It doesn't respond to the On/Off button anymore, doesn't do anything when in charger, it's just black... :crying:
[Other SmartWatches] -MrMM-:
Hi,

i have problems getting to fastboot mode with my Amezefit GTS.

I made a mistake at firmware update with N&F an now it stuck at a update screen in another language. The Amezefit App on my Phone didn't connect with the watch to finish the update. I think, although I'm normally very careful at such things, I may flash the wrong file. So because the watch didn't connect with my phone I need do flash it over Fastboot.

The Booting Routine seams different from the one in post 1.

If I turn the watch off and on again there's no A logo. It's the word Amazefit, it appears for a few seconds, then the screen went black for about 5 seconds, then there's the update screen (if the watch doesn't connected to wire, if the watch is connected to wire there's the time and the battery circle). There's no display on bevor the update screen appears. The Display shows "Amazfit", the Display goes off, and boom, there's the Update screen.

I also tryed to start adb server and waiting for device and restart the watch while it's connected. It doesn't work either.

Any Tipps for help?

Would you know how I can open the fastboot on Amazfit Stratos 3? thank you urgently

I have exactly the same problem on Stratos 3, the adb fastboot installation does not recognize my watch. I am on this screen after I can get fastboot and blocked I can do nothing else

I don't know how to make my watch OUT ??? help me PLEASE
[Other SmartWatches] bartnissa:
I have exactly the same problem on everything not recognized in USB and shows on 'no command' by cons possibility of unlocking with:

1 Insert the smartwatch into its charging cradle by connecting the charging cable to the cradle and disconnecting it at the other end: prepare yourself near a PC, as you will need to connect it quickly;

2 Hold down the power button for a few seconds 2;

3 Release and hold down when the screen is on.

4 At the exact moment when the screen turns off the backlight, connect the USB cable to the PC;

5 Once connected, from the moment you turn on the backlight, count up to 4 seconds and immediately release the power button.

arrived at the third image I do not know what to do like you !!!

hey guys. im latest to party. if anybody still needs this i found the easiest way to reboot to fastboot.

just type

adb shell reboot bootloader

it will reboot

then quickly type

adb wait-for-device

this i guess is sending data while unit still tries to reboot.

works everytime like a charm. good luck after 4 years :D

Hi,

since I like to stay at Marshmallow for now (especially because of the lack of Xposed for Nougat) but also like to already make the switch to Lineage, I see no other way then building Lineage based on CM 13.0 for my both devices (Oneplus 3 and kenzo) by myself.

While I'm familiar with building CM, it's not clear to me if it's possible to make a "Experimental" build (for dirty flash migration) and if so, how? Are there any build flags to be set? Any additional steps after building? How are the offical "EXPERIMEMTAL" builds done at download.lineageos.org?

Thank you very much in advance, it's very good to see Lineage OS getting traction after the Cyanogenmod shutdown.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] timkoop:
No solution found?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
I'm not sure if you all know this exactly but, the LineageOS Experimental builds is actually CyanogenMod Migration Builds.

It's intent is for those who use CyanogenMod installed and don't want to just wipe the whole device clean so the Experimental build is to install over the current CyanogenMod without wiping anything to Migrate from the CyanogenMod to the LineageOS. Then when it's done, you install the LineageOS Nightly build (or Snapshot if it's available) over the Experimental without wiping anything to complete the Migration.

With that stated, it would be a real challenging endeavor to create an Experimental build with that type of Migration feature.

I would applaud anyone, outside of the LineageOS Devs, who can accomplish this.

But, I'm not one to gossip... So you ain't heard that from me... LMAO!!!

Peace and Love!

If you take a look at the Console Output of Jenkins, then there are build-scripts... I think they can build migration builds/they "know" how toll build these...

Do you now how to get these script(s)?

To observations:

- In https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70944088&postcount=26 and https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70959718&postcount=27 it is described how to compile the current version of the cm-13.0 branch of lineageos for the Moto G (osprey). This build can be flashed on top of a Cyanogenmod 13.0 build without any problems. After reflashing Xposed it is also working.

- These are the changes between a "normal" and and "experimental" build of cm-13.0 on Jenkins for a certain phone (manta) on Jenkins:

builds: https://jenkins.lineageos.org/job/android/617/parameters/ and https://jenkins.lineageos.org/job/android/618/parameters/

changes on gerrit: https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/160268/ https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/160269/ https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/160272/

I totally unsure, what these patches really do, but I would guess its about checking signatures during the process of an OTA update.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] timkoop:
160269 only adds the watermark... I think 160272 does the "real" migration, but I don't know, what the other change does...

I'll try to flash a normal nightly, but if it works, why do they make data migration builds?

But if I would build a migration build I only had to apply the changes to my repo and that's it?

EDIT: I just installed LineageOS over my CynaogenMod installation (14.1) on my HTC One A9 and it worked
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
The watermarks are there for a reason.

Once the migration has completed, and your on the main screen with the watermarks, it is an indication that you have migrated successfully and ready for you to flash the latest Nightly build (or Snapshot build if one has been released).

Reboot back to recovery, and without wiping a thing, you'll then flash the Nightly and GApps. Wipe Dalvik and then reboot.

Peace and Love!
