Im trying to do some tests to try and find out why the phone crashes with a modified boot img

Im a noob in the android environment so my reasons can seem naive.

Since we are getting ramdumps at crash i thought the problem was the ramdisk in the boot.img
So i've created a boot img with 1.5.3.fix kernel and boot and 1.5.2 ramdisk, but the device still crashes

If it's not a corrupted boot.img problem, maybe it's the system checking if everything's fine and noticing a modified environment throws a crash.
So it's the system's fault.

Does anyone know a way to check what background services there are and if one of them is the culprit? How can we check what makes the phone crash?

Also what if the problem is magisk itself? if factory resets seems to fix the issue for many, maybe updating from .2 to .3 brings magisk to keep some old keys and values that when used/accessed crash the phone

I do not know if anyone tested this, but totally uninstalling magisk and deleting all data of it and installing it brand new could fix the issue...?

I don't have a Nothing phone but I have some suggestions:
Did anyone try using latest bleeding-edge build of Magisk from: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/actions ?
If it still has issues I suggest opening an issue on the repo to notify topjohnwu.
Downloading artifacts and installing the apk should be the right way to go, right? Because after installing apks from actions magisk manager app crashes.

In the afternoon i'll also try to logcat the device

EDIT: Magisk implements a signature check to block malicious clones, to move from official to action you should first install the debug apk found on magisk's main page, do direct install and then install the actions apks...

15:26, im trying
Force ramdisk format to lz4_legacy for v4 #2878
Action, i'll let you know if i get any crash or what

UPDATE
15:42 the device crashed with the latest action build

Thank you for trying out the latest build. Can you open an issue on the repo reporting this crash problem?

Edit: someone already did so https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/6780

What does HFchange/add?
The update is 16.61 MB in size. In essence, this update resolved a problem that prevented the NFC toggle from working as intended, and that led to alerts showing up when the Quick option was enabled.

Guys, I may have found the fix to 1.5.3 with root. (Will update if freeze comes back. however its been an hr with no freeze so that's better than before where it freezes seconds after boot)

Many are not going to like this(including me) but, you will lose internal storage data so make sure to get a usb c flash drive or backup to pc.

What I have done is:
  1. Factory Data Reset.
  2. Wait for first reboot to reach erasing data screen. (Watch carefully this screen basically just flashes by. Pic is attached)
  3. Immediately after screen goes black from erasing data screen hold only volume down button until fastboot shows.
  4. Flash Magisk patched boot for 1.5.3 or 1.5.3 hotfix, depending on which you are on.
    • For Pwrshell: "./fastboot flash boot Magisk Patched 1.5.3.fix.img"
    • For cmd: "fastboot flash boot Magisk Patched 1.5.3.fix.img"
  5. System should boot, then proceed through setup.
  6. Open Magisk and click ok to reboot.
  7. Then system should boot without any freezes.
So this only worked for a day or two and then froze again... I have no idea if an app triggers this and I don't really understand the log. But this is what is logged directly before the freeze each time:

Yup. Phone freezing entirely on my device too with 1.5.3. Super annoying.

I flashed the stock boot image for now with no root until this problem is fixed.

I got some problems while doing the updates manually. I've just installed the EEA 1.1.7 manually, then I wanted to patch it manually up to (step by step) until 1.5.2.

By patching the 1.1.7hotFix it already gets :45 (kUnsupportedMinorPayloadVersion)

It makes no difference if sideloaded or via *#*#862#*#*

Any ideas why it happens? The buid target is correct.

    Hello, i would need a hand from someone who can share their boot and magisk patched boot images for 2.5.3

    I can share the script one can use to do it, it needs root

    Update:
    Added 2.5.3 incremental, changelog, boot and magisk patched boot imgs
    2
    I've finished to rebuild the thread, check the first messages, let me know if you find it better or not from before.

    2.5.2(.HOTFIX) FULL OTA ADDED TO THE FIRST PAGE, GUIDES UPDATED
    1
    Lahaina is the code name for Qualcomm SoC.
    Code name of the ROM is Spacewar (Global),Spacewar_EEA (Europe).
    It will be updated.

    I didn't understand it when i first got the thread but after searching a little i saw that in the first versions of NOS, in bootloader mode Global devices had Lahaina as PRODUCT NAME, while European Phone 1s spacewar.
    I think that line is referring to this period.
    After 1.5.x which unified fws, both global and eea device have spacewar as Product name and can no longer be differentiate while in bootloader mode.

    I decided to kept this but tbh could be modified to be more precise since now it's older information
    1
    Sure I want to try but 2.0.2 fastboot rom from reindex contains 2 boot files only one stock i believe and one patched with Magisk.

    I read the script If I were to run that exe file it will give me an error that files are missing. You want me to take out all the other img files in that exe file and give it a go? I'm on linux unfortunately but I can just do it manually.
    This is a script i just made with what i already had.

    this will flash stock boot.

    After it finishes, please launch with fastboot boot magisk patched boot so you will boot into a rooted environment but with stock boot already applied.

    if it's possible i would ask you two things that will help others in the future in this step (after rebooting into 2.0.2)

    01. NOTHING OS OTA ZIP
    REGIONAL DIFFERENCES

    NOTHING offers two distinct regional versions of Nothing OS.
    • One intended for European countries, as it meets the requirements of the European Privacy Directive and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
    • One Global Version for everyone else.
    You can easily check which version is your PHONE(1) by OPENING SETTINGS, scroll down and press ABOUT PHONE.
    Press SOFTWARE INFO or the rectangle with NOTHING OS and the backside of PHONE(1).
    Read BUILD NUMBER if it ends with EEA you are running an European Firmware.
    If not, you have an international model.

    If you are still not sure but good with technicalities:
    • Open your Shell terminal or Android terminal emulator (e.g. Fuss, Termux)
    • Execute the command:
      Code:
      getprop ro.build.description
    This command returns a string.
    It starts with "SpacewarEEA" if the device is delivered with the European firmware, International models will have "Spacewar" only.

    There is no way to recognise the model from fastboot.

    @Phon3nX
    Reading through this thread (and other threads in this forum), I see a lot of users facing issues updating their devices, especially with root. Even I have faced issues with updating and I try different methods to fix it, but there is still no single method that works 100% of the time. Sometimes local update method works, sometimes sideloading with ADB, etc.

    It would be great if you could create a guide for updating their devices with root, possibly with all the different methods and troubleshooting methods. I do not mean unlocking or rooting, but updating NP1 by keeping root access. Sure, there are a lot of individual posts on this topic spread across this forum, as threads and as comments in threads like these, but I think it would be better to have it in one of the reserved sections in the original guide thread.

    Thank you and kudos for the great job you do here. :)
