ObserviingHey, I'm hoping someone could help me get my port to boot. The build looks good as far as i know and  installs correctly but I cant seem to get it to boot. Ive added all the cmdline arguements to boot referencing a similar port. The only thing I have noticed that stands out is that using the recovery built with the build, the recovery didnt mount /data and /cache partitions, i had to mount them manually in an adb shell prior t01:28
ObserviingTWRP does mount the partions automatically, everything installs. but it doesnt boot. I can enter recovery afterwards but cant pull any logs. I can see the system.img in /data and loop mount it, and everything is there.01:30
Observiingwould anyone know what avenue atleast to look into to resolve this please?01:31

Colin__Hello ? um.. I'm Colin. I get a trouble now. I tried "rm -rf /" and erased all files on my Meizu mx4 ubuntu. And I tried "ubuntu-device-flash ...... --bootstrap" to reinstall OS. But I'm failed. What should I do? How can I reinstall Ubuntu touch? Why it printed "recovery can't flash" on fastboot screen when I tried reinstall OS?13:22
mcphailColin__: I don't think you can reflash with the default recovery, which has adb disabled. You may need to install a recovery with adb activated. I had to do this on my bq phone13:26
Mister_QColin__ see https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool . the tool tells you exactly what to do13:26

Mister_Qmakes sense13:35
Colin__um... Excuese me... magic-device-tool is a nice tool.. But I still can't flash recovery in fastboot. (I used to switch uTouch from rc to stable image in ubuntu-device-flash, I think  enviorment must be fine) So.. Meizu device 's recovery not support flash?? ( sry my poor English skill >.<).13:53
Mister_QColin__, what did you do exactly? the tool can flash the downloaded adb recovery and flash ubuntu. I just tried it on my mx413:57
dobeyColin__: you must use the recovery image provided on the wiki page13:57
dobeyif you want to use ubuntu-device-flash with one of the meizu ubuntu phones13:58
Colin__um... "rm -rf /".  But I can't flash recovery before do this.13:58
Mister_Qdobey, I'm using that in my tool.. https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool/blob/master/devices/mx4/ubuntu/stablewipe.sh13:59
Colin__I readed your script. And I tried dowload that recovery.img and "fastboot flash..." but still failed Q.Q14:00
Mister_Qwhat does 'fastboot devices' say?14:01
Colin__" partition 'recovery' not support flash" Q.Q14:02
Mister_Qdid you bought the phone with flymeos?14:03
Colin__no...14:03
Mister_Qhmm14:03
Mister_Qdid you follow the instructions to get into fastboot? I will try it again on my mx4 as soon as it finishes the current flash but I tested everything on my mx4 with the tool and it worked fine :(14:05
dobeywell, to be fair you presumably also didn't rm -rf / first14:05
Mister_Qyeah14:06
Mister_Qin that case its possible that you also removed your imei partitions which would mean you have to send it back to meizu for an imei repair14:06
Mister_Qalthough rm -rf / should not affect fastboot14:07
Colin__Thank you so much XD.14:08
Colin__Does fastboot locked?14:08
Mister_Qoh except when its mounted in ubuntu14:08
Colin__"mounted in ubuntu?" O.O14:09
Mister_Qthe fastboot files are stored somewhere in / its not mounted on most systems to avoid such things but it seems like it is in ubuntu14:10
Mister_QColin__, are you familiar with the sp flash tool?14:10
Colin__sp flash tool?  no  >.<14:13
Mister_QColin__, follow the instructions there http://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-mx/general/meizu-mx4-how-to-flash-ubuntu-touch-t3210039 . and stick to the instructions. otherwise you will brick your phone.14:15
Colin__Thank you so much :D14:16
Mister_Qthats one of the reasons why I wrote that tool. to stop people from using dangerous oem tools.. kinda funny that I'm recommending it now but I also never rm -rf / on a phone :D14:17
Mister_QColin__, good luck. Ill be back in ~1h and will see what is left from your phone14:18
Colin__XD14:18
dobeynot sure why one would do "rm -rf /" anywhere, unless the intent was to break things14:23

dobeyie, you can connect to the device with adb?18:07
yakaaryes the developper mode is enabled, but I cannot connect with adb, it tell me device offline18:12
dobeyok. so technically should be possible to get the data off, but may be quite difficult. it sounds like unity8 keeps crashing for you. have you tried rebooting the phone at all?18:14
yakaaryes I tried many times, but unsuccessfully. And I tried to call BQ support without success...18:17
yakaarI tried to wipe cache partition18:17
dobeyi don't think cache partition is the problem18:18
dobeycan you reboot to bootloader or recovery ok?18:18
yakaaryes I can do it18:33
yakaarfrom bootloader can I connect it with adb18:35
yakaar??18:35
yakaarI'm on recovery mode18:35
Mister_Qdobey yakaar sounds like your using the stock recovery which has no adb18:53
yakaaryes, how to recover datas so ??18:58
yakaaris it possible??18:58
yakaaror in fastboot Mister_Q do you know any solution??19:00
Mister_Qyakaar sure. flash the adb recovery and then install ubuntu on it again https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool19:01
yakaarBut my datas will be deleted ??19:04
Mister_Qyakaar, not if you choose the option switch channel/reinstall in the tool19:04
yakaarok, how can I flash the bootloader??19:05
Mister_Qthats also an option that offers the tool19:06
Mister_Qand it will tell you what you have to do19:06
dobeyyou don't want to flash the OS from the bootloader19:06
dobeydoing so will destroy your data19:06
Mister_Qthats why he should flash the adb recovery first and then boot into it19:07
dobeyyou want to flash the adb-enabled recovery from bootloader, then in recovery you should be able to recover your data, or just re-flash from recovery without losing data19:07
Mister_Qthats the whole point of the tool. to tell the user what to do without having endless conversations on irc. but sure dobey can help you as well19:08
yakaarMister_Q : I'm on your tool and I hav three option : [1] Install Ubuntu19:12
