Did you clean flash and do you have the latest TWRP installed?

Wipe system, data, cache and reinstall, shouldn't get that error msg unless your recovery is MultiROM. and you are trying to flash the ROM on the secondary partitions.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Pitreq:
I have a problem with ADB on Validus ROM, build 18.02. It's not working both on Windows and Linux environment, I can't detect my device with adb devices command (List of devices attached returns nothing), Android Studio can't detect it too. :( Is this ROM related or is it problem on my side?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Robexuk:
Try change USB to charging in dev. options
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Pitreq:
Unfortunately, a problem still exists. It's strange because I've recently tried ADB over Wi-Fi and it works.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Robexuk:
On some Oreo ROMs when connected you need to change the USB to charging in the notification and also (again) check it in dev. option and re-enable ADB while you still connected and then you may need to reconnect USB.

I have multiple N5's and all has this ADB/MTP issue since Oreo but I can make it work this way. Anyway in my case I suspecting drivers on my PC.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] losl1946:
You are right!

I flashed this rom on the secondary partition using mutirom as my secondary OS for test. So I dont have to wide anything, the rom upates the partitions from the scratch. How could i do it without the error message "System UI has stopped" after boot up?

Thank you!!

[Motorola Droid 4] tmlind:
We can now boot distros with droid4-kexecboot without being locked to the stock initramfs or rootfs :

droid4-kexecboot images

droid4-kexecboot buildroot source

It works by using utagboot generated mmcblk1p8 utags partition to boot the stock kernel to a 4MB buildroot image that can be flashed to the unused mmcblk1p13 bpsw partition. Then it starts kexecboot to use kexec for booting to the selected distro.

Currently supported are recent mainline kernels with the pending LCD patches added. SafeStrap is not necessary but can be booted to. And v3.0.8 legacy kernels installed into SafeStrap rom slots are supported (but need to be manually updated if slot kernels are updated) .

UPDATED: Booting to the stock Android and SafeStrap is now supported out of the box with for pivot_root.

Changes are needed to v3.0.8 kernel config and initramfs to not use CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE=y and safestrap/active_slot file and instead just use kernel cmdline to mount the desired rootfs. Distros using the mainline kernel do not have these limitations, and can use the 608MB mmcblk1p22 preinstall, 1.3GB mmcblk1p23 webtop partitions. And the 8GB mmcblk1p25 can also be reformatted to ext4 and used as rootfs if you don't need it for Android. I have not dared to try to reformat mmcblk1p20 system partition, but that too might be usable unless the Motorola bootloader does some checks on it on boot.

There are some experimental patches for initramfs modifications for postmarketos:

https://github.com/postmarketOS/pmbootstrap/pull/1039

But we need also similar Android changes if somebody has time to work on patching and rebuilding LineageOS :)
[Motorola Droid 4] IM_back!:
Nice, this works with lineage os on slot 1 now. Im currently building postmarketos and a mainline kernel to test
[Motorola Droid 4] IM_back!:
The bootloader refuses to boot with mmcblk1p20 erased. But a empty ext3 partiton is apperently enough to make it happy
[Motorola Droid 4] tmlind:
Oh interesting I don't think I've seen that. Do you mean the Motorola bootloader refuses to start or kexecboot? Sounds like we should document this and how to fix it if it happens if you can write up something on it for droid4-kexecboot README file.
[Motorola Droid 4] IM_back!:
The Motorola booloader goes directly to fastboot if i:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p20

but

mkfs.ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p20

keeps the Motorola bootloader happy. im not shure if it needs to be ext3 i just whent with that because thats what the stock rom uses. It is extreamly annoying that we can not flash modified system.img's via fastboot. I will experiment a bit more with it and submit a patch to the README file.

I got The mainline kernel to boot, but without a rootfs it dosent do anything usefull of course.

that aside i can't seam to get postmarketos to work. I installed pmos rootfs to the webtop partiton and supplyed kernel command line with PMOS_NO_SAFESTRAP and correct root= but it just boots to a black screen , no uart output either :(

Do you have something that works that i could take a look at?
[Motorola Droid 4] tmlind:
Interesting so it seems that the cdt.bin mmcblk1p6 partition tells mbmloader to check some partitions for content and some partitions just for the fs. I wonder if also for example cdrom mmcblk1p16 partition can be modified too that way.

As a test I only verified that NotKit's kernel mentioned in his postmarketos pull request boots with uart with kexecboot after I noticed he has a patch for gcc6 support and APKBUILD prepare -Werror search and replacement :)

I enabled CONFIG_EMU_UART_DEBUG=y, disabled CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE and configured kexecboot boot.cfg to use CMDLINE=console=ttyO2,115200 mem=1023M@0x80000000 vram=10300K omapfb.vram=0:8256K,1:4K,2:2040K ro rootwait root=/dev/mmcblk1p13 debug earlyprintk' to boot back to droid4-kexecboot.
[Motorola Droid 4] tmlind:
FYI, the postmarketos pull request mentioned above has been now merged. And I pushed out updated droid4-kexecboot images last night that now also support booting to the stock Android and SafeStrap.

[Motorola Droid 4] dinosaur99:
mmcblk1p16 partition is usable as alternative ISO storage

Actually, after some trial and error I managed to turn the cdrom partition (mmcblk1p16) into something more useful. Now my maserati works as a portable "Linux booting device" :cowboy:

When plugged to a computer it behaves by default as a CD-ROM drive, and it's capable of booting a Linux ISO on the PC. Bear in mind that the partition size is slightly above 200 MB, so we have limited space. Apparently if mmcblk1p16 is formatted as ext3, ext4 or contains a filesystem other than ISO, the phone will NOT boot (I had to reinstall the whole Stock firmware a few times).

I could make a mini tutorial with detailed instructions.

So perhaps this partition could be useful for storing a customised read-only distro for the maserati, similar to a Live environment. Or at least capable of booting a minimum environment with essential files.

I'd like to test your kexec files as soon as I can, but still need to understand the whole process. About to receive a second maserati for tests ;)

Cheers!
[Motorola Droid 4] tmlind:
Hey that's great! FYI, one more thing to consider is that I noticed allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin is more permissive compared to mbm.bin. They seem to parse some permissions table from cdt.bin. I guess it would not be too hard to figure out that format if somebody cares. And I now also wonder if using cdt.bin_patch instead of cdt.bin is even more permissive?

Anyways, do not mess with the mbmloader.bin or allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin partitions though that can brick the device..
[Motorola Droid 4] IM_back!:
Thank you for your excellent work!
[Motorola Droid 4] dinosaur99:
Can't boot to safestrap

This is my first approach to boot something other than Android. Not very usable though, but I got this far.

I first installed droid4-kexecboot following instructions on README, and created the boot/boot.cfg on a fresh EXT4 sdcard by copying the sample rom-slot1 and rom-slot2 entries. After reboot, kexecboot shows a very nice graphical menu, and loads successfully all configurations. Unfortunately the slot entries don't work from kexecboot (phone restarts). However I can load Safestrap and boot stock and both ROM slots.

Then I built latest postmarketOS for Droid 4 using pmbootstrap, and selected Weston (one of the lightweight flavours). The result is three files: kernel, initramfs and a disk image containing two partitions. In order to install pmOS into rom-slot2, I wiped all slot2 partitions and installed CM11 as explained here https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid_4_(motorola-maserati) . The next steps were done locally on my laptop instead of using ADB (i.e. replace file userdata.img in rom-slot2 directory with the pmOS disk image, and also replace /etc/kexec/ramdisk.img and /etc/kexec/kernel located inside system.img with the new initramfs/kernel). Then rebooted, jumped from kexecboot to Safestrap, and it launched postmarketOS.

USB networking connects right away and SSH works.

The wiki states that Framebuffer graphics works, but I get no screen output. LCD backlight is on. Xwayland and weston are running by default.

All LEDs work.

Touchscreen, vol buttons and keyboard seem to work.

Kernel is 3.0.8.

Finally I managed to boot pmOS with kexecboot. Directory "boot" on mmcblk0p1 contains following files:

atags # borrowed from safestrap
boot.cfg
devtree # borrowed from safestrap
initramfs-motorola-maserati
vmlinuz-motorola-maserati

Here's a few facts that I don't really understand :confused:

kexecboot boots pmOS on rom-slot only if safestrap is configured to boot on that slot, otherwise it boots into something else which responds to ping, but no SSH. Why is this happening if kexecboot overrides safestrap?

Excuse my ignorance, but what is in practice the need for a devtree file, and where am I supposed to obtain it?

The kernel cmdline is apparently overriden by atags file required to boot linux 3.0.8. It seems like boot configuration is hardcoded somehow. But why doesn't it boot regular android slots?

Is it actually possible to pass something like root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 or maybe even get screen working by using a recent kernel?

Sorry if I mixed up too many different topics... just trying to sort the whole thing out.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] andeaker:
Is it possible to boot LineageOS with a Linux kernel of 3.20 or higher?
[Motorola Droid 4] tmlind:
Sorry for being slow to respond..

There is an issue with most droid4 images using the 3.0.8 kernel files and init scripts which is the scripts check the SafeStrap config from the mmc for things to mount etc.

This is no longer needed at and the scripts should be just modified to do that only if booted with safestrap. We should now just use standard Linux way meaning

parse the partitions to mount from kernel command line and so on :) NotKit posted some patches to sort out that as linked in the first post in this thread for the

PostmarketOK pull request. But I don't think those are applied and also the Android Images need to be updated too for LineageOS and then you can just boot

Android from whatever partition you like such as mmcblk0p1 or mmcblk1p25 in the standard Android way.

So omebody just please do standard LineageOS images that don't rely on SafeStrap!

The devtree file is only needed for old 3.0.8 kernels and is non-compatible with the current mainline kernel dtb file omap4-droid4-xt894.dtb. Motorola used custom

device tree properties and it's in big-endian format. The devtree file should be the same as what you have on the eMMC devtree partition mmcblk1p11.

Current mainline kernel still has the LCD patches pending, for v4.19-rc series I posted the pending patches I have to:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap.git/log/?h=droid4-pending-v4.19

Those are still being worked on though because of omapdrm changing over to use generic displays.
[Motorola Droid 4] tmlind:
See the previous post about v4.19-rc5 kernel status. No idea how much work it would be to get LineageOS images working with the

mainline kernel.. Probably at least the graphics would be an issue. Using TI's Android tree with droid4 patches backported to it might

be a good starting point if somebody wants to experiment with that, TI might have SGX540 support there for other SoCs.
[Motorola Droid 4] tvall:
how would i go about getting this working n the droid bionic? im wanting to run maemo-leste, but the latest update switched from just safestrap and ddroid, to this. and apparently trying to stupidly flash this as-is didnt work out
[Motorola Droid 4] tmlind:
Hmm you probably need to stick with SafeStrap for bionic, I don't think bionic uses a utags partition that's needed for the kernel cmdline.
[Motorola Droid 4] tmlind:
I finally got around finishing writing some docs for installing LineageOS to raw partitions, please test :)

Make back-ups as needed first though.

[Motorola Droid 4] sicelo.m:
hope this is on-topic - is it possible to use this to boot an OS that's installed on the SD card? I don't have D4 yet, but am waiting to receive one in the next few weeks.
[Motorola Droid 4] tmlind:
Yeah you can boot whatever Linux distro(s) you prefer from the SD card with the current mainline kernel and few pending patches.

That's all work in progress though, certainly usable for tinkering though :)

I doubt that booting Android on the SD card currently works though.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xectis:
I've been using custom ROMs for a while on my A2017G but decided to get back to stock. Before doing all the bootloader unlocking/rooting etc I backed up my original firmware (Nougat, B09). So I reinstalled the original firmware that I had backed up but somehow lost TWRP in the process (the bootloader is still unlocked). I then used Axon 7 Toolkit to re-install TWRP. Unfortunately I cannot get to bootloader mode through Android Recovery as it reboots normally. Axon 7 toolkit gives me the following notice 'If your device rebooted normally then your device has no access to fastboot. Follow the miflash instructions for the bootloader unlock option to restore your device's fastboot mode'. The thing is the phone is bootloader unlocked so I don't need to unlock again.

Basically, I cannot install TWRP through bootloader mode. I also tried adb-fastboot tool from my Pc but same thing happens, phone reboots normally.

What I really wanted is bring back the phone to full stock, including re-locking the bootloader.

I also want to have the bootloader re-locked again before selling the phone.

Any help/ suggestions much appreciated.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Good lord, don't use the Q&A mode for a simple question. XDA Labs opens it on a browser window

Follow Controllerboy's guide, but only the part where he installs TWRP with axon7tool. After that, boot into TWRP and follow raystef66's guide on how to get rid of the 5 seconds screen. That'll give you fastboot. Then flash a full stock system, stock recovery, and you'll probably be safe enough to relock

But I'd ask the next owner if he/sge actually cared on having the bootloader unlocked. Relocking it is risky as $hit you know.
