[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-BOX2022:
Tell me what to do. Whenever I flash the system, be it Lineage OS 18, CAOSP 11 or AOSP 11, the original archos wallpaper always shows to me and crashes the ui system after some time

I have already typed fastboot erase system , fastboot erase userdata, cache but it did not result
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawnowl444:
Do "fastboot flash userdata userdata.img" and same for cache

But you should definitly flash stock recovery, go to recovery and do a factory reset there, that's the most convenient thing to do
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-BOX2022:
that's what i did and the same thing
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawnowl444:
Flash stock recovery and do a factory reset this should settle it

Otherwise i don't know what's wrong, you may have the wrong rom flashed or something
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-BOX2022:
I have Android 11. If I use FORMAT DATA through recovery, it will normally turn on to the welcome screen, while going through the configuration, the screen flashes every now and then. After going through the configuration screen, the interface crashes all the time and I can't even enter the settings. I even have a problem with switching off
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawnowl444:
You may have a bad combo of vendor and system since you flashed some stuff, try flashing vendor and system from same rom

Or maybe you have hardware issues since you disassembled it but it would be a very odd thing

Wait you're using gsi in the end? Stay on android 10 for the moment that's the most stable and less complex treble config
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-BOX2022:
OK. I wanted 11 because, I wanted the most up-to-date system possible. In your opinion, the best 10 is Resurection Remix? Do you know of any Android 10 that has an update in 2022?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawnowl444:
Well android 10 treble is the most stable because there is no vndklite, more support for a-only, for a-only magisk i think it the last to be supported but i could be wrong. Well as far as I know and from what I tested

But it was last updated some time ago but for testing purpose stay on it for now.

For now only use lineageOS or aosp gsi those are the rom with the less buggy **** (RR has so much parameters that crash all the time)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-BOX2022:
Why, as always, GSI is flashing, I always have some Archos applications and his wallpapers after installation. I have it on every gsi.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawnowl444:
You sure you did flash correctly the img ?

Sounds like nothing was flash or is it userdata left over or really weird vendor.img ?

Or maybe you did not erase system correctly before flashing but still this shouldn't do such weird things

In any how I've never had that from what I remember tweaking with mine

Go try looking the build string in settings to confirm that your're on gsi

You sure you have an unlock bootloader ?

What does it say when you flash or erase stuff ? Does it error out or you have progress bar ?

What do you have when you go look into settings and build string ?

Your method does not work with hard brick

I just retried right now with what was indicated but i can't boot to fastboot

My devices has a lock preloader (green state I guess) and I can't display archos logo because it crashes when trying to do that
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtom666:
Just tried it on a Hello 10 completely stock, so locked bootloader.

I turned it off by pressing the power button for 20 seconds.

The used Api unnticked.. after clicking on reboot fastboot I pluged it in, en within 4 seconds it was in fastboot.

The hello did not start the logo yet.

I also tried your twrp recovery, it works on the hello 7, but it can not mount the partitions.

How did you make it?

Did you use the havoc tool, or android kitchen..

Wen I use the tool non of the partitions mount, using kitchen got me in trouble so I dont realy want to use that again :)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawnowl444:
Well, so it works with lock bootloader that's good to know, but still with my hello 7 it crashs somewhere trying rebooting to fastboot because it returns to preloader after a while.

I did the TWRP by tweaking thanks to that https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-porting-twrp-without-source.3843473/ but some version of kitchen make unbootable img from what I remember

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtom666:
I will try, the last one I made worked but I had problems mounting partitions.

To fix that you have to change the partition from ext4 to ext2 and back again, I think..

But this includes a format.. so not much left to backup.

Any luck getting in fastboot yet??

Maybe because you're on windows or maybe it's the kitchen, some do not work

If you want to hot mount you need to get familliar with the mount cli

Yeah rebooting fastboot can't help me my device is hard brick, I need to unlock the bootloader without fastboot (can be done but gives DA error so back to square one) because otherwise it crashes (with hardware method or @K-BOX2022 method's or even with mtkclient, which is less sketchy to be honest than what @K-BOX2022 found)

It worked for you because you had stock device or soft brick (which means that you could have access fastboot with hardware button normally)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-BOX2022:
I have a working hardware with fastboot unlocked. Can you please advise me how I could create my own DA???

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtom666:
Shame its not working for you..

For now I will just go back to stock recovery.. an will try to get GSI working.

On my 7 all I did was factory reset in stock recovery.. then erase system then flash system ..

On my 10 .. I do it the same way but after flashing it goes in to bootloop..

If I get one working .. then I think about trying twrp again.

Thanx for your help so far ..

In twrp there is only one fstab used and it's twrp.fstab the other recovery.fstab is a fall back in case the twrp one is missing (it's stock fstab btw)

Not much troubles with mountpoint, but I don't have the knowledge to make twrp's decryption utility work so data won't mount if android has userdata encryption enable

I must say, I have been trying to get one working in both..

If one would work then I would know what I did to get it to work.

Right now I am on lineage 17 I think.. android 10 and twrp 3.2.01.

Been flashing all kinds of possible Fstab files, and wiping and formatting data without luck until just now.

It looks promising.. ....

:(

After I format data I can see and mount /Data.

Then I reboot in OS and reboot in twrp and It is Back to 0 mb.

Btw did you make a system_image in your fstab for gsi and other img flash?

What do you mean by this?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawnowl444:
Focus on twrp.fstab leave recovery.fstab with stock recovery, you shouldn't be touching the recovery.fstab it's only there if twrp.fstab is wrong

That's normal your Android encrypt the data partition when it boots, to disable that you need to modify the fstab to remove forceencrypt and you may need magisk I don't remember

Yup if you take a look https://github.com/Dawnowl444/andro...67660ce65d97/recovery/root/etc/twrp.fstab#L20

this line is for flashing gsi and such from twrp
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomtom666:
All the info I found on the encryption is that you have to wipe it or format it and reboot in recovery.

But I would love to make a backup in recovery, and after a wipe there is nothing to backup ..

I got it working even a bit more, it can backup partitions that are mounted..and I can install a rom.

Wen I get past the encryption problem I wil post it.

It is my first time porting twrp, Its taking me way to much time :) but it wil be forfilling wen I get it done :)

@Dawnowl444 Merci de votre aide. Thats all my French for you..
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawnowl444:
Yeah encryption in recent android is kinda obscur I haven't found much info on it. If you want to permanently disable encryption try tweaking magisk if I recall there is an option to disable forceencryption (and of course make encryptable in twrp.fstab)

Well that's good you're working your way into that, once you get how it work it's not that complicated, it's a lot of trial and error

If you grind your skills far enough to find out how to make twrp decrypt work please warn me and share the knowledge

Yes it's kinda fun to see a device working with custom trickery from your own making (well in part, credit is of course due to twrp and so on)

T'inquiète, de rien, c'est normal d'aider et de partager ses connaissance, (translation into your welcome "grosso modo") I do wonder what's your nationnality? Because Archos is a french compagny so I'm bit surprised to have seen polish around here
