Just want to add something. I booted "FWUL_v2019-09-05_17-42_x86_64_30GB" into persistent mode on my Dell XPS 13 9350 and my WiFi card is not working. I plugged the usb into my Asus G74SX and my WiFi worked fine. Nevertheless, I made sure SALT is latest by using USB Tethering (Galaxy S9+) and proceed to unlock my LG G4 H815 on my Dell XPS 13 9350.

interesting.. the Dell one should work as well as its a broadcom chipset which is included in the kernel firmware..
the Asus one is intel which work almost always..

if you can try out FWUL 2.7 in forgetful mode to see if WiFi works there with the Dell one.
Feel also free to join the TG group if you like..

Hi steadfasterX, tried 2.7 forgetful mode and got the same result. There is no network available on my Dell but on my Asus, it works great. :)

Hi! I've tried your last version from your leech server and I cannot use the persistent mode. It keeps Waiting 30 seconds for something and then it gives an error and nothing else happens.

Announcement | Request for BETA testers

its been a while since the last update right? :)

ok here we go. v4.0 is in the works since a while.. heavily.. and its now in a state where I need brave testers!

v4.0 will come with:

  • project re-design (why and so on will be explained with the release) - this part is a WIP and will take some time to complete - but it has started already.
  • many many bugfixes and new software versions ofc
  • complete new desktop feeling
  • very likely I will drop persistent builds (if not I will go with one size only)
  • and ofc .. last but not least with the option to:
    - flash on disk (standalone or as dual-boot with e.g. Windows)
    - flash on a dedicated USB stick (USB multi-boot will work with the ISO only as it is right now)
    - flash on a VirtualBox hard-disk
  • .... and ofc MORE :)

While I am happy for feedback on the new design and how the new ISO builds work for you the most important feature will be the installer obviously.
I cannot test every hardware out there and not every option so I need users willing to test that feature.
I use a well-tested standard framework for the installation (Calamares) but there is always a risk ofc.
so e.g. when you install in parallel you really should know how to recover if something fails. I am here to help but well ... sometimes free time is soooo rare ;)

I have tested:
  • standalone installation on a new/free disk
  • parallel installation with Windows 10 (BIOS/legacy mode, ie. not UEFI yet)

If you like to help this is your chance: Drop me a note in the Telegram Group CLICK.
Using just the ISO is risk-free as always so even if you do not want to test the installer feel free to join.

Thanks in advance for any support :)

Hello, I downloaded "mAid_v2019-09-21_22-11_x86_64.iso" and these are the results:

1. YUMI add .iso syslinux
Error:
Code: 
Undef symbol FAIL: x86_init_fpu
Failed to load libcom32.c32
Failed to load COM32 file boot/syuslinux/ifcpu64.c32
boot:

2. Boots fine on my Asus G74sx and Dell XPS 13 9350 as a standalone USB stick. Same problems as before on the Dell, it does not detect my network card and hence no WiFi.

Network card is:
Code: 
Broadcom BCM4350
if that helps.

reg. YUMI, no idea . I guess "syuslinux" a typo above? should be "syslinux" ofc and the file is in /arch/boot/syslinux/ifcpu64.c32 .. so I would try using "Archlinux" from the drop-down as the ISO tools I use to build are taken from pure Arch.

reg the NIC, that will be included with the next nightly (https://code.binbash.rocks:8443/mAid/build/commit/a6352bd49a2db542ad456a)

try the latest nightly.
if it does not work: open the failsafe menu (UEFI: black pinguin and tab key, legacy BIOS mode: arrow key down and tab on the failsafe entry)
when you have AMD/ATI graphics choose that one or when NVIDIA that one.
when that does not work try all the other failsafe options and let me know which worked.

also in your working Ubuntu type and share the output of this command from a terminal:
Code: 
lspci

Soft lockup error on boot

I've been using FWUL for ages now and it's super useful. However I've run in to an issue when booting both persistent and forgetful modes.
Error is
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s! [Systemd-udevd:272]

Same issue. Note that booting up by default just sticks me in a bootloop as soon as it launches past the selection screen. Choosing failsafe mode for nvidia does same. The other 3 end in soft lockup.

    mAid_logo.png

    (FWUL has been re-branded to mAid. read here why)​


    About​

    The existence of mAid (abbreviation for [m]anage your [A]ndro[id]) has a simple reason. I wanted to have something where I were able to point users to when they came with issues on Windows because the most problems around were solvable when using Linux (for my personal special use cases) ...

    The only issue with Linux (even with Ubuntu, Mint and such) is that they do not include everything an Android user needs (out-of-the-box). You still have to issue commands to install and you have to make other adjustments like udev rules etc. Nothing a "normal" Windows user can/want do without guide-lining.

    That was the main reason why I started mAid.

    For those not familiar with the above: do you have ever thought:
    ... Windows is not detecting my Android phone?!
    ... adb, fastboot?? what are you talking about?"
    ... or do you just wanna support someone who is using Windows and having issues?

    and of course:
    ... you have re-installed the drivers of your phone's vendor.
    ... you have re-downloaded the newest one from the the vendor's homepage as well
    ... you checked other drivers and uninstalled and rebooted hundreds of times
    ........ it still does not work! :eek:

    This is where this Live ISO should help you out. The main purpose of this project is:

    ... give you a quick and just working start to use the standard Android tools like adb and fastboot with ease
    ... No driver hassle
    ... No complicated installation of android tools
    ... if still nothing works: activating a remote support tool (teamviewer or tmate) so a friend can help you out
    ... just download, flash and enjoy

    mAid: a maid which helps to [m]anage your [A]ndro[id]​

    that's all about it :)

    Features​


    Download​

    mAid is available as stable and nightly release.
    Obviously the stable release is preferred as it is tested and everything should work.
    A nightly is a snapshot of the current development and so might fix an issue you currently have. So if the stable release does not work for you give a nightly a try :)

    Main & Fast Download Server (stable releases):​

    Slow Mirror Download Server (stable releases):​

    Nightlies:​

    • Note: These builds are completely untested and unsupported but the most current you can get: leech.binbash.rocks

    Installation​

    1. Decide how to use mAid:
    2. Boot mAid
    3. Set your language at the top right
    4. Login with username/password: android / linux
    5. Enjoy

    LEGACY - FWUL Changelog

    All new mAid releases will release their changelog here .
    The following contains the changes for all pre v4.0 releases for historical reasons.


    FWUL_v3.2_x86-64 (forgetful/ISO only)
    Released: 2020-09-13
    Reason: Maintenance release
    Download: Go to the Download section in the OP
    All closed issues for this release: see the Milestone tracking
    Full Changelog (this version VS. previous): git commits
    Summary Changelog:
    • Fresh Manjaro Arch Linux base from the day of release (means all OS packages are top current)
    • new look & feel by a new icon and desktop theme
    • backported from v4.0: new installer dialogs (goodbye ugly terminal outputs)
    • backported from v4.0: SALT's new requirements are pre-installed now
    • backported from v4.0: AMD graphic support for newer models
    • backported from v4.0: fully pre-pkg all installers. this one is incredible important to keep the installers working without doing a full system upgrade. Previously once times passes by and you wanted to use the installers the package (e.g. spflashtools, teamviewer) got downloaded by the normal way. As everything depends on each other that could result in hundreds of Megabytes if not a full system upgrade at the end. Useless and annoying for a live ISO. The new approach will fully pre-package all dependencies directly within the build process so they will always fit exactly to the release. That way even if you start v3.2 in 3 years it will just download the pre-packaged file which contains all you need.
    • Versions of the main FWUL components:
      Kernel -> version: 4.19.144-1
      ADB and fastboot: android-tools -> version: 30.0.3-1

      heimdall-git -> version: 1.4.2.r7.ga2cfdaa-1

    • fix: since v3.0 the default language was not set to EN (issue)
    • fix: since v3.0 changing the language in persistent mode required a reboot (issue)
    • fix: LivePatcher repo URL (issue)
    • fix: since v3.0 shared folders stopped working when using VirtualBox (issue)
    • there are more fixes/changes: follow the above full changelog/milestone link!

    FWUL_v3.0.2_x86-64 - PERSISTENT ONLY
    Released: 2019-01-15
    Reason: Maintenance release, ONLY for persistent builds
    A patch has been released for FWUL persistent builds.
    Patching a persistent build is handled by the FWUL LivePatcher which can be found on the desktop.
    Due to many under-the-hood changes (mainly the repo URL path changed and that required adjusting several files) the following procedure is needed to upgrade correctly to the latest release:
    1. double-click "FWUL LivePatcher"
    2. click "Check & Download Patches" button!
    3. once finished click "Start LivePatcher" and wait until it finishes
    4. you will be prompted to re-open the LivePatcher as there was an update for the LivePatcher itself
    5. you should be informed that your FWUL version is now 3.0.1
    6. close the LivePatcher and re-open it
    7. click again on "Check & Download Patches" button!
    8. once finished click "Start LivePatcher" and wait until it finishes
    9. you should be informed that your FWUL version is now 3.0.2
    if something goes wrong do this in a terminal:
    Code: 
    tar cvzf flu.tgz /var/log/fwul
    and attach the resulting flu.tgz file in your post.

    Summary Changelog:
    • changed repository patch for FWUL LivePatcher to gitlab
    • workaround for issue #88

    • new: added MiFlash for Xiaomi devices - read the short summary in FWUL included tools & installers
    • new: finally pre-configured hexchat
    • new: added two android boot image manipulating tools
    • new: added an even more clear Virtualization warning in the welcome screen
    • new: added [ROM][E] an extract tool for ROMs - read the short summary in FWUL included tools & installers
    • new: polished up wallpaper
    • fix: from now on FWUL supports (partly) system upgrades (see issue #63)! This means:
      - you CAN update FWUL (using the desktop icon for adding/removing software or within a terminal: trizen -Syu --noconfirm)
      - you will NOT be able to update the kernel, virtualbox guest utils or any other kernel related module(s) (they are excluded automatically so just for info)
      - you will NOT be able to update to newer FWUL releases. This will ALWAYS require a re-install as changing that would require an incredible amount of work and resources, update servers etc.

    FWUL_BETA-3_x86-64.iso
    Released: 2017-01-17
    Download: Go to the Download section in the OP
    Changes:
    • Initial release based on Arch Linux
    • github changelog
    • The following known issue and workaround exists for this particular release:
      I cannot connect password protected wireless network...only free to air connects. When I click on password connected wireless network., it simply don't open.
      Click to expand...
      Click to collapse

      There is a package missing which will be included in the next build.
      You can still use Beta-3 when you do this after booting (The procedure has to be repeated on every boot):

      1. click on the WiFi you want to connect to. nothing will happen but it is needed for the next step.
      2. right-click on the network symbol in the panel and select "edit connections"
      3. you should see the WiFi you tried to connect to --> click on it and then on edit
      4. open tab "WiFi security" and type in the WiFi key
      5. Save it and it should connect

      If you can connect once by cable you can follow this instead:

      1. Connect the network cable
      2. Open a terminal (look at the panel at the bottom - black window with c:\ in it)
      3. type in that terminal:
        sudo pacman -S gnome-keyring
      4. you will be asked for your password (linux) and then press Enter when asked to install it
      5. Disconnect the network cable
      6. Afterwards it will work. No reboot. Just try again

    Announcement
    --------------------------------

    I have some great news :)

    It was a long journey but I'm in the end phase of my v2.0 testing and fixed all opened issues for the v2.0 milestone.

    I really like the new version :D not just because of the awesome persistent mode but also because of so many changes under the hood for more stability, performance and usability and the preparation for the upcoming installer (v3 likely).

    I planned to release yesterday but I encountered some minor build issues for the new persistent mode but those are not serious. I changed the process here and need to adjust some stuff..

    If all goes well I will release v2.0 tomorrow! :victory:

    Stay tuned.. :highfive:
