[G4 Android Development] steadfasterX:
I have added a test in my jenkins build process to ensure that the unified device tree is working as it should.

Unifying our device tree makes it much easier to maintain and to add other not-yet added models - while it comes with the risk something goes wrong when it comes to blobs.

Nevertheless:

This is the second round first of my unified device tree so I would highly recommend doing the following (I have done that in my manual builds but you get it from jenkins - so there is a tiny little chance of bad luck .. ):

Pre-Cautions | Flashing instructions

Recommended: Backup (system, userdata in TWRP, your internal storage which contains your photos etc elsewhere)

Required: Do a "REGULAR CLEAN FLASH" (see bottom of this post)

Flash LOS - DO

NOT

choose to reboot afterwards - stay in TWRP.

TWRP menu: "Mount" --> choose "System"

From a terminal execute:

adb shell md5sum /system/etc/firmware/venus.mbn

Compare the value (last 4 characters is fully enough) with these:

If you flash:

h815, f500, h818, h819 it should be: ebc5d32c651bf061787e82258cf78a3c

h810, h811, h812, ls991, us991, vs986 it should be: 78e5cf520d0de4a413ef1cfa7bbbe713

WARNING: If that checksum is NOT as it should be: DO NOT PANIC! simply FLASH the PREVIOUS LOS version BEFORE booting!

. This will ensure you will not blow a fuse.

While the above test should be considered safe: If you are unsure about this procedure:

WAIT before flashing

until someone (or I) had done the above quick test from the builds jenkins is providing at my leech server.

Whenever an error occurs while flashing in TWRP (e.g "E1001: Failed to update system image.Updater process ended with ERROR: 7")

or if the above checksum does not match:

provide the recovery.log (FAQ #4 A)!!

... then flash the previous LOS version to get back to life.

New builds are cooking...

build errors can happen .. so it might take longer until everything completes (as I can fix build issues tomorrow first if any)

In progress (in that order):

Live - View: https://lets.binbash.it:8800/job/LG-G4/job/LOS-16.0/job/Build all LGE-G4 models/workflow-stage/

H810

Done:

H815

H811

H815 UsU

VS986

H812

Noteworthy Changes:

several selinux policies updated

If you encounter issues try this first:

adb shell
su
(or adb root when enabled)
setenforce permissive

Try again and if the issue is gone when in permissive mode:

provide me a logcat as described

here

wrild optimized (helper if rild crashes)

safetynet passes without root

Google play fixes

and others ... and all the details

IMPORTANT:

Taking a backup before is recommended -

always

As usual a "REGULAR CLEAN FLASH" is

RECOMMENDED

.

See the FAQ #2 of this thread how to do a "regular clean flash": https://xdaforums.com/g4/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3929082/post79502871

Keep in mind that almost all pie ROM's sharing the same common device tree (or main parts of it), same model device trees and for sure the same kernel - so you can enjoy most fixes for any pie ROM available..

The above fixes are brought to you by the Suicide Squirrel Team :victory:

ok enough of words, just

one

more thing:

FLASH and ENJOY that ultra stable, fast, smooth and best pie build for LOS -

ever

:)
