[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmartestKen:
To the best of my knowledge, recovery mode and normal os are disjoint directions in the booting process. Does that mean I can flash garbage or zeros into recovery partition without bricking the functioning of normal android os?

(In case device matters, let's say pixel.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
Recovery is a slimmed-down form of Boot, and both have nothing at all to do with Android OS.

Difference between Recovery and Boot is that Recovery doesn't start Android OS whereas Boot does.

My guess is you can zero-out content of Recovery , but this doesn't make any sense in my eyes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmartestKen:
Now I am staring at /system/bin/recovery and /init.recovery.${ro.hardware}.rc in the ramdisk

You mentioned "Recovery doesn't start Android OS whereas Boot does.". Where is the beginning of this railroad switch? I feel it is not /system/etc/init/hw/init.rc?

A closely related question: how to achieve "zero-out content of Recovery" with minimal effort?

Thank you so much for the clarification.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
If phone is rooted then you may use dd command what requires you get blocksize of phone's recovery partition, for example 4096

adb devices
adb shell "if=/dev/zero of=/recovery.img bs=4096"

If phone's bootloader is unlocked then you may flash a zeroed file of matching blocksize ( AFAIK it exist blank 4K vbmeta.img files on the WEB you may use for this purpose ) what requires phone gets booted into fastboot mode before

fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery <ZEROED-FILE.img>
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmartestKen:
Do we have control over kernel parameters or it is completely hardcoded in bootloader?

[Android Software Development] TheFixItMan:
When building Android 11 on a device with low ram (typically under 16gb of ram), when you get to metalava compilation it will fail with the error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space"

I found the below patch which fixes this and should allow you to build the rom on a machine with as little as 8gb of ram.

Lowram fix for R. Run this command in your rom root directory:
cd build/soong
git fetch https://github.com/masemoel/build_soong_legion-r 11

# Specify heap size for metalava for R
# Reduce initial heap size for java from 2048mb to 1024mb
git cherry-pick b45c5ae22f74f1bdbb9bfbdd06ecf7a25033c78b

# Tune java compiler flags for low ram systems
# This is needed on systems with 8GB physical ram.
# sets the max heap size for java to 3112mb
git cherry-pick e020f2130224fbdbec1f83e3adfd06a9764cca87

# soong will be rebuilt the next time you build anything in aosp

Thanks to masemoel for the patch
[Android Software Development] TheFixItMan:
Project Sakura have merged this into their repo so if building that rom there should be no need to alter anything
[Android Software Development] Harry@007:
any guide to build with 8gb??

and compiling A10 requirement of ram?
[Android Software Development] TheFixItMan:
Building is the same regardless of ram

This patch is to solve the issue of metalava running out of memory if your source rom doesn't already include this patch in soong on android 11

Android 10 uses a different build system which you can find the patch for here

https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_build_soong/+/266411/3/java/droiddoc.go#77
[Android Software Development] himanish25:
Will this only work for compiling lineageos or any other rom?

I'm trying to build pixel experience.
[Android Software Development] TheFixItMan:
It will work with any rom that is android 11 based (assuming the patch hasn't already been applied)

It just adds the java value to soong. You can look in build/soong/java/droiddoc.go to see if the values are already there or not manually.
[Android Software Development] V T Vishwanath:
Does this still work? I have not applied the mentioned patch.

I have 14G of RAM in my Ubuntu 20.04 in virtual box. Still Android 11 compiling failing when it tries to build the kernel image. Building snoog works fine.

Does this fix my issue by applying the patch?

Also is there a similar patch for Android 12 compiling?
[Android Software Development] TheFixItMan:
This is specifically for soong metalava failing due to

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

It will not fix any other compiling error

I do not know what changes were made to soong in android 12

[Android Software Development] jolebaltringue:
It doesn't work on Android 12 but there's still a way, I have compiled Android 12 with 8gb RAM and 12gb swap.

- In build/soong/java/droidstubs.go find :

cmd.BuiltTool("metalava").ImplicitTool(ctx.Config().HostJavaToolPath(ctx, "metalava.jar")).

- Now after :

Flag(config.JavacVmFlags).

- Add ::

Flag("-J-Xmx6114m").

Or whatever value you want.

Then it works.

In my case I didn't need to change the values in makevars.go and config.go but you may have to depending on your computer.

Good luck guys!!!:-)

Hello

Does it work for A12 builds also ?
[Android Software Development] turboTermite:
I compiled Android x86_64 r-x86 and LinageOS nougat-x86 (cm 14.1) version with a Dell inspiron 3847 (quad core i5 -4460 , with 12 gb of ram... and 12.5gb of swap space lol) on Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS. minimal install option.

I installed zram-config first.

I'm kinda dumb and i set up my partition with 250 gb 239 available to me.... so I ran out of space a couple of times and failed building the iso to another drive :(

i ended up doing --depth=1 on my repo init and repo sync - c to get the folder size down to 80 gb!!!! and finished up the build on one dive.

I did the nougat first and it took me a few days figuring out the right packages and env variables because i was following a couple of diffent guides lol . so i didn't really see how long it took me to compile the whole thing when i got it working... maybe 6.5 hours....

I did the export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx4g" thing but i don't think it stuck because I restarted my machine once and i didn't add it to a start up script and i don't think i put it in again on my finishing attempt.

Doing Android r-x86 was easy once i had the packages in place and switched my python back to v3. Compile time was like 9.25 hours...

oh i did m -j3 or m -j2 when building , so I didn't really go full tilt....

If I had give some one advice is prob start out with 300 gb or more... prob more on your partition.

And read the official google guide to setting up ur system first.. I kinda ignored warnings and just skimmed Android x86 site guide plus alot of googling of errors.

Oh maybe it would be worth trying a free trial of cloud computing.... sigh..

[Sony Xperia ZL] C_zerone:
I have a brick Sony ZL and then I want to fix it by flash a official rom by Flashtool.

Firstly, I am sure my PC (OS : WIN 10) detect my phone correctly. (fig_1)

Then, I open the Flashtool to connect my ZL, but it show a ERROR code, "cannot identify your devices ".

However, ZL really connected to the PC by the USB debugging.

After a few seconds, FlashtooI ask me to select a device model. (fig_2)

Then, a ZL is recognize by Flashtool But kernel version unkown. (fig_3)

I choose the flashmode(fig_4) and select ZL rom (10.3.A.0.423_TW.ftf file) to flash. (fig_5)

Then, Flashtool show a window message to unplug the ZL and press volume DOWN button before reconnect ZL to PC. (Fig_6)

However, when I reconnect the ZL to PC, Flashtool ask me to select device type again. (fig_7)

Finally, Flashtool show a window message to unplug the ZL again. (fig_8)

After that, Flashtool loop the step of unplug the ZL and select device type again and again.

Could someone help me solve this problem?

To answer OP's question, TWRP for Pixel 5 isn't fully functioning yet. Instead, we patch the boot.img to install magisk and kernels in them. You're already rooted with magisk so to install Elemental X kernel, install EX Kernal Manager and there will be an option to flash the kernel.

i got my phone working again today..

well mine doesn't really hard bricked.. its stuck in bootloop..with both fastboot and recovery accessible..

tried fixing it for the last 10 days but never had a workaround.

tried mi flash, with fastboot at recovery flashing countless times and it failed.

finally, I'm convinced that i couldn't fix it, so i talked to some technicians via social media and all of them said that the only thing that could save my phone was EDL flash.

I've read in some articles that some poco f1's with 2-3 year old battery have tendency to have unexplainable bootloop..

with this idea, i bought a new battery and replaced the old one..

i was about to short the test points, but suddenly got the wierd idea to turn on the phone to check the new battery if was working..then out of the blue, the phone got past the poco logo and showed MIUI..with fingers I've waited 2 minutes and the phone finally booted!😃

so to those fellow poco f1 users, try replacing the battery..

phone status before bootloop

a. unlocked bootloader

b. stock miui12

c. never been rooted

d. has 2 years and 10 moths battery
