[OFFICIAL/UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 19.1 for Amlogic G12*/SM1 Family Devices

[skippyd]

I just came back from a full brick (Black Screen - No Boot Logo on power up) on the Walmart Onn 4k (dopinder)..... so if you do mess anything up, you are able to bring factory back to the device without opening it. I will create a tool so it will automate the process within the next couple of days. I should be able to make it work with the other devices, but I don't have them to test with.

TOOL IS CREATED waiting on it to upload its big because it has all 4 devices factory images so it will unbrick all 4 devices. Link up soon

Sidenote:
I don't know if it was a Khadas developer or some other Amlogic developer, but they said that if your device was having issues and needed to wipe/erase the EMMC, you could use the Windows tool (if your device will still connect that is) and start installing a firmware, and once it gets to 20-25% when the SYSTEM.IMG is installing you disconnect the cord and the EMMC will be erased. Never tried it personally, haven't need too, but worth a shot if you have a problematic device.

Unlike the khadas devices, certified devices have been factory provisioned with high level drm keys that are unique to each individual device. Erasing the emmc in its entirety would blow away individualized data (based on those keys) contained in the tee and factory partitions and other hidden areas of the emmc. Even just erasing the bootloader can brick a device.

Erasing the data partition is often useful in restoring operation to a certified device, but erasing the entire emmc would not be useful.

Generally it is also a bad idea to use the windows gui usb burning tool on any certified device unless a single file amlogic image designed specifically for that device is used. Generally, when using burn mode with certified devices, only individual partitions should be flashed using the command line burn mode tool 'update'.

Install this driver: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q3Hwrmx-YCrw9U5JGtI2Ocn06zPkjrEG/view?usp=sharing

Download the amlogic `update` tool http://openlinux2.amlogic.com/download/A113/Tool/flash-tool-v4.7/flash-tool/tools/windows/ and run `update.exe bulkcmd fastboot` - then you can flash the factory image as usual.

Sorry about this, AML DTB's are... weird compared to other devices.

does anyone have the flash-tool ??

link is broken

The files that were contained in the broken openlinux2 link are attached to this post in the file amlogic.zip. It just contains the windows version of the command line update utility and the associated dlls.

But the openlinux2 link was posted quite awhile ago. Newer versions are available from khadas and elsewhere.

I have uploaded my unbricking tool to my google drive.... Link is in my signature. It's made to be ran on Windows so you will need to install the ADB drivers for your device. If you have used Windows with your device in the past, then you already have the drivers. This should work with all 4 devices to bring them back to factory. Even if you have 18.1 or 19.1 it should take the device back to factory. Its big (7 parts) due to all the factory images.

I've tried everything i could but obviously it is impossible to unlock bootloader on my device.

It would be helpful if you mentioned what device you are trying to unlock

Everything is a lot of things to try.

Hey is it within the scope for Lineage to bake in cifs filesystem support? Would be great to have on a media center device.

Very happy with wade!

Does anyone know what has happened to wade official support?

If you're looking for the builds, they're still up.

Sure, I'll look into it

Technical issue, but DTB.img isn't making it to the signing server so wifi is broken. I can't yet figure out how to get it transfered correctly basically. Hopefully I figure it out soon as it is just an infrastructure issue. Unofficial work fine.

If you're looking for the builds, they're still up.

Yeah they're broken though :/

So official builds are "unmaintained" just temporarily until the wifi issue is fixed? Great news, thank you for your great work.

"Useless ADB commands" - that's how you install it.

Follow the wiki. It works.

Could you post how far you got in the installation process and what response you saw on your screen ?
Using Linux or Windows to try the install ?

I have followed the standard instructions for LineageOS on Google Pixel, Pixel XL (3 different ones), Walmart Onn4K TV and Dynalink devices, and in all cases the Bootloader Unlock process was NOT the problem. (had other issue later in the sequence of steps, that I am not sure if I am the only one who had the problem).

HELP: 'Free up storage' problem during install.
Running Dopinder with 2GB adopted USB flash stick.
I tried to install Termux from Play store, and it kept jumping to 'Free up storage' page, but it shows 651MB of 4.4GB used, & (now) NO app installed yet. [ I previously transferred (1 at a time) all (4) previously downloaded functional apps to the adopted stick - STILL have the problem ] [ edit: same problem in Play Store app trying to apply updates to 7 apps already on the device.]

Only option allowed is 'cancel'.

What am I doing wrong ?

[BTW: what I really want at the moment is to install Armbian onto Dynalink or Onn 4K box, because I am trying to see how close I can get to usable Linux PC for $20 or $40. I installed Google Chrome via APKM installer on Dopinder & works OK, except I can't get it to print (installed HP print services, but that did not solve it). I have Armbian on old Tronsmart S905 2GB/8GB box - on SD card - and I thought that might run Chrome & work with printer. Problem with that system is no DRM / Widevine, which is why I recently bought the Onn & Dynalink boxes. Other problem is developer (Balbes ?) for Armbian on Tronsmart ended support 2 years ago. I would consider a Radxa Zero, but I am not sure if Widevine runs on that yet, and already own RasPi 4b 4GB (audible fan), where Widevine runs fine. Would have bought more RasPi's, but not available ! ]

Any suggestions ?

Hello everone, you are my last chance

I am currently trying to unlock my Wade device, yet do struggle already getting an ADB (and FASTBOOT) connection to the device.
- Normally, there should be an RSA approval window popping up (see a sample as picture attached) when putting the device in Developer settings into MTP/ PTP mode. Yet, this does NOT happen. USB debugging is naturally activated. Resetting previously granted authorizations does not change anything. Different USB cables and ports do not change the behavior.
- At the same time, I do NOT see any device in the Windows 7/10 Device Manager (not even hidden or with an exclamation mark!).
- If I put the Wade device into recovery mode (long pressing the side button during startup), I also do NOT get any ADB or Fastboot connection.

As a result, I need some community help:
- Are there any particular Wade specific USB drivers (note: Tried universal drivers, drivers from Google, etc.)?
- And how can I (manually) force the RSA authorization popup to occur granting access?

Thanks ahead!
