=== chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [01:28] Hey, 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 t [01:30] TWRP 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. [01:31] would anyone know what avenue atleast to look into to resolve this please? [01:35] mariogrip is your best bet === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [01:39] Thanks, hopefully he'll drop in [01:40] I think he's in Europe and probably asleep.

[09:03] I don't know exactly if it is the OTA, my mobile was bugging and I searched the way to debug it. I went to the update center and found a main update of the system to do.

[12:01] robinhero no there are no gestures or double tap yet === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [13:14] Mister_Q, sorry for the late reply, but is there a bugWhistlist report for this on Launchpad? [13:15] it would be very useful [13:15] If there's no bugrepot, I'll fill one [13:15] just file a bug on launchpad against canonical system image [13:22] 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? [13:26] Colin__: 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 phone [13:26] Colin__ see https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool . the tool tells you exactly what to do [13:26] ooooh [13:26] the first outing of Mister_Q's magic tool :) [13:27] >.< [13:27] if this was telegram I'd paste https://imgur.com/YsbKHg1h [13:27] thx [13:27] popey, haha I had to :D I wrote it exactly for that usecase ;) [13:28] Mister_Q: neat! [13:28] It also contains a cool tool by popey ;) [13:29] \o/ [13:29] I hoped you believed Marius Quabeck and Mister_Q are different persons because I only messaged you on telegram yet :D [13:29] can you also credit Stuart Langridge for that, we worked on it together, thanks :) [13:29] * popey introduces Mister_Q to /whois [13:29] 14:29 [freenode] -!- ircname : Marius Quabeck [13:29] I know all :) [13:30] even people who come in here with different nicknames each week :) [13:30] * mcphail enjoys pretending to be popey when he goes away on holidays. Much havok to wreak === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [13:32] popey I updated the readme and I know about whois :D I just thought you did not looked it up because you mentioned me always as Mister_Q on the community team q & a :D [13:33] haha, true [13:34] I like reading out peoples irc nicknames :) [13:35] makes sense [13:53] 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 >.<). [13:57] Colin__, what did you do exactly? the tool can flash the downloaded adb recovery and flash ubuntu. I just tried it on my mx4 [13:57] Colin__: you must use the recovery image provided on the wiki page [13:58] if you want to use ubuntu-device-flash with one of the meizu ubuntu phones [13:58] um... "rm -rf /". But I can't flash recovery before do this. [13:59] dobey, I'm using that in my tool.. https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool/blob/master/devices/mx4/ubuntu/stablewipe.sh [14:00] I readed your script. And I tried dowload that recovery.img and "fastboot flash..." but still failed Q.Q [14:01] what does 'fastboot devices' say? [14:02] " partition 'recovery' not support flash" Q.Q [14:03] did you bought the phone with flymeos? [14:03] no... [14:03] hmm [14:05] did 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] well, to be fair you presumably also didn't rm -rf / first [14:06] yeah [14:06] in 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 repair [14:07] although rm -rf / should not affect fastboot [14:08] Thank you so much XD. [14:08] Does fastboot locked? [14:08] oh except when its mounted in ubuntu [14:09] "mounted in ubuntu?" O.O [14:10] the fastboot files are stored somewhere in / its not mounted on most systems to avoid such things but it seems like it is in ubuntu [14:10] Colin__, are you familiar with the sp flash tool? [14:13] sp flash tool? no >.< [14:15] Colin__, 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. [14:16] Thank you so much :D [14:17] thats 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 :D [14:18] Colin__, good luck. Ill be back in ~1h and will see what is left from your phone [14:18] XD [14:23] not sure why one would do "rm -rf /" anywhere, unless the intent was to break things === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk === Celtor is now known as vitimiti === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk [15:00] I'm not sure you can even run "rm -rf /" without extra flags anyway [15:01] the kernel should block that [15:02] they added the "--no-preserve-root" flag to rm [15:02] keeping "--preserve-root" as default behaviour [15:02] erm, yes. rm, not kernel [15:09] hi, how do i install ubuntu on a tablet with eufi and a detachable keyboard (64bit / intel atom processor) [15:16] hi === aaron is now known as Guest69044 === Guest69044 is now known as ahoneybun [15:26] Colin__, I'm back. How's your phone? [15:27] still frozen O.O [15:33] alex___: if you mean standard ubuntu ISO install, that's a question for #ubuntu i guess [15:36] I tried flash a system.img which from ~/.cache/ubuntuimages/pool/xxxxxx.zip. Failed to boot finally O.O Why? [15:37] Colin__, seems like rm -rf / wasn't a great idea.. [15:38] I see Q.Q [15:39] you should send it to meizu [15:40] Okay XD [15:41] sorry that I could not help you [15:44] Um.. It's time to sleep.

[16:51] brunch875: top right next to the search button [16:51] uh oh [16:51] I only have the gear and the lens [16:51] I'm on rc-proposed. Maybe it's temporarily gone? :P [16:52] brunch875: ah can't help you then I'm on stable on this phone [16:53] I should report this anyway, right?

[18:07] ie, you can connect to the device with adb? [18:12] yes the developper mode is enabled, but I cannot connect with adb, it tell me device offline [18:14] ok. 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? [18:17] yes I tried many times, but unsuccessfully. And I tried to call BQ support without success... [18:17] I tried to wipe cache partition [18:18] i don't think cache partition is the problem [18:18] can you reboot to bootloader or recovery ok? [18:33] yes I can do it [18:35] from bootloader can I connect it with adb [18:35] ?? [18:35] I'm on recovery mode [18:53] dobey yakaar sounds like your using the stock recovery which has no adb [18:58] yes, how to recover datas so ?? [18:58] is it possible?? [19:00] or in fastboot Mister_Q do you know any solution?? [19:01] yakaar sure. flash the adb recovery and then install ubuntu on it again https://github.com/MariusQuabeck/magic-device-tool [19:04] But my datas will be deleted ?? [19:04] yakaar, not if you choose the option switch channel/reinstall in the tool [19:05] ok, how can I flash the bootloader?? [19:06] thats also an option that offers the tool [19:06] and it will tell you what you have to do [19:06] you don't want to flash the OS from the bootloader [19:06] doing so will destroy your data [19:07] thats why he should flash the adb recovery first and then boot into it [19:07] you 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 data [19:08] thats 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 well [19:12] Mister_Q : I'm on your tool and I hav three option : [1] Install Ubuntu [19:12] [2] Screencast [19:12] [3] Back to menu [19:12] install ubuntu [19:13] then "[0] Flash ADB recovery (you need to do this first)" === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube === yakaar1 is now known as yakaar [19:39] and now the screen is black [19:40] and the mobile is hot [20:08] yakaar now you can boot into recovery [20:31] it stop at wait for device [20:32] Mister_Q: I'm on fastboot and it doesn't work [20:37] yakaar well I know for a fact that its working if you follow the instructions. I have to sleep now, will be around in ~8h again [20:43] ok thanks a lot for your help, see you later, I will follow the instruction by myself. And I would ask you later if it doesn't work.
