Hi there. First time trying Dot. Despite trying lots of different combinations of flashing, and trying to ensure I followed the instructions above exactly (with the exception that I do not want Gapps or Magisk), rebooting to System always reboots into Recovery instead.

For grins, I tried the latest unofficial lineage (lineage-18.1-20211112-UNOFFICIAL-payton), which installed and booted up just fine.

Suggestions appreciated.

 

[bojnice]

Same problem be my.

Which Verison of twrp you're using?

 

[Randy Power]

Which Verison of twrp you're using?

twrp-3.6.0_9-0-payton

I've also tried installing dot without installing twrp. When I do this, booting to system gives me the booting animation (3 colored circles that look like two planets circling the sun). But it gets stuck there. One time, I waited for several hours, enjoying the planets animation.

There're quite few things which you need to remember.
1st

2nd
If you were stuck on boot logo, you should perform fastboot - w in bootloader.

3rd - as per your comment u want vanilla edition. So i suggest u to stick with two 3.5xxx (latest prior to version 3.6xx) and follow the steps as stated below
a) completely wipe the phone
b) rom + twrp
c) reboot to recovery
d) wipe data in twrp
e) reboot to system.
This should work as I've also installed vanilla Verison with same process.

 

[Randy Power]

Thank you very much, @Aaditya ZeO. I will try again with those steps when I get back to my x4 today.

If i want to install the gapps version, should I use twrp 3.6 instead of 3.5?

I don't think it matters, I've use twrp 3.2 and 3.6 to install gapps and had no issues in either case.

 

[Randy Power]

I appreciate the suggestions. I think I've tried everything, including installing twrp 3.5.xxx, but I still get the same result.

If I clean install dot and fastwipe -w , I still get the spinning planets.

If I clean install dot, install twrp 3.5 or 3.6, and fastwipe -w, a "reboot system" always brings up twrp again.

In case it matters, my device is payton XT1900-1 32GB P4.

Can you try to install gapps version for once?

 

[Randy Power]

I just did this:

1. fastboot boot twrp
2. completely wipe the phone
3. install rom 5.2.1 (dotOS-R-v5.2.1-payton-GAPPS-20211123-1226.zip)
4. install twrp (twrp-installer-3.5.2_9-0-payton.zip)
5. reboot to bootloader
6. fastboot boot twrp (in retrospect, I could have rebooted to twrp without fastboot)
7. wipe data in twrp
8. format data in twrp
9. reboot to bootloader; fastwipe -w
10. reboot to system.

Result: Spinning planets (boot animation).

I'll try again with the above, except step 5-6 reboot directly to twrp.

By the way, is this the expected result of "fastboot -w" on the x4?

>fastboot -w
Erasing 'userdata'                                 OKAY [  0.322s]
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
File system type raw not supported.
Erasing 'metadata'                                 (bootloader) Permission denied
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed

 

[Randy Power]

After the above, I formatted data from twrp. It completed without errors, so I rebooted to system.

Result: Still stuck on spinning planets.

fastboot: error: Command failed

nope this shouldn't be the output after the fastboot -w.

 

[Randy Power]

nope this shouldn't be the output after the fastboot -w.

I appreciate that. I've tried many combinations of formatting data in TWRP, which seems to work. Resizing the partition and fsck on the partition work fine, all in TWRP. I can even copy files from /externalsd to /sdcard, and the fs survives a reboot.

However, fastboot -w always fails (error shown above), and booting the system gives spinning planets animation forever.

I'd be grateful for pointers on fixing the fastboot -w problem, if that is what's needed.

Hello

I installed dotOS 5.2.1 and when it's time to enter the PIN code it says that the sim card is locked. Tried both PIN and PUK, but none works. What should I do?

 

[bowelripper]

OK, so I solved it by basically following these instructions:

However, I now have a new problem. If I power off the phone while the USB charger is connected, it restarts the phone instead. And if it's powered off and I connect the charger, it turns itself on. This didn't happen with Android 9. How can I fix it? I do not want my phone to switch itself on when charging.

Are you flashing to the appropriate slot?

 

[rodrigopitanga]

For those having problems with the phone rebooting after a few seconds after upgrading from an Android 9 rom:

You might need to upgrade the modem firmware. That happened to me while upgrading from Lineage 16.0 to Lineage 18.1. After investigating a bit, I figured out the problem happened when connecting to the mobile network or (sometimes) wifi.

This is (roughly) how I solved the problem:

- flash your choice of recovery/system (not needed if already done - if you do this later your updated firmware might be overwritten)
- download the latest payton stock rom from lolinet's obsolete phones archive
- unzip and cd to unzipped folder
- connect phone and reboot to bootloader
- make sure you have fastboot and run the following commands (adapt to your OS as needed):
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img fastboot reboot-bootloader fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn fastboot erase modemst1 fastboot erase modemst2 fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin fastboot flash logo logo.bin fastboot erase carrier fastboot erase userdata (I did it after backing up my data, but I think it was not necessary) fastboot erase ddr fastboot reboot
- have fun!

Notes:
- you might just flash a subset of the binaries above, I flashed what I thought was needed. The original reddit thread mentioned only NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.bin
- after having tried many things I ended up with dotOS 5.2.1 and will try it for a while

Are you flashing to the appropriate slot?

I think yes. It's been a few weeks now, so my memory on the details is fuzzy. But I'm familiar with the A/B monkey business, copy partitions, etc. And flashing lineage worked out successfully. Thank you for the reply.

Does adoptable storage work?
