Besides this code change... in your update script, do you unmount the system partition before you try to format it?

No unmount at the begining of my script ^^

For the moment my script is like that :

Code:

show_progress(0.1, 0);
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/System", "0", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
symlink("toolbox", "/system/bin/printenv");

blablabla

unmount("/system");

Now if I follow your instructions :

Code:

show_progress(0.1, 0);
unmount("/system");
run_program("/sbin/make_ext4fs", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/System");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/System", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
symlink("toolbox", "/system/bin/printenv");

blablabla

unmount("/system");

Right ?

That should be correct, yes :good:

Let me know what happens! :fingers-crossed:

Not good ^^
The format run good, but the problem is the reboot of the phone during package_extract_dir("system", "/system")

(using TWRP)
Bye bye system, hello Flashtool

I reinstall 4.1.2, root and CWM.
And after i install my 4.3 with "your" script using CWM from peetr_

EDIT : no problem of flash using your script with peetr_'s cwm

[NUT] · Apr 7, 2014 at 2:04 PM

Hmmz... That's odd. If you do adb shell during install and 'tail /tmp/recovery.log' there while running your installation, maybe you will find an error at some point which might help find the cause...

I believe I found the reason...

Can you try using version 105?

Darn, I'll try to fix that tonight, can you test install it using the flashable version?

installation works with flashable version.
so i tried to flash the rom, and..... bam reboot during flash of /system !

:crying:

Okay, back to square one:

When you are trying to execute your rom installer, open adb shell and run this command BEFORE you start the flashing operation.

Code:

/sbin/busybox tail /tmp/recovery.log

Lets see what fails during the flash operation...

Also, please give TWRP a try too, I want to know if the same thing happens with that...

Can you send me a copy (send me a link in PM if you don't want to share it yet) of your ROM?

[NUT] · Apr 7, 2014 at 5:12 PM

@BreckZeBoulay also, try removing the format bit and see if it will extract the system partition without issues then...

Just a hunch, I can do that testing on my Xperia T when you send me that link...

-edit-

106 should fix the installer version...

BreckZeBoulay · Apr 7, 2014 at 5:16 PM

I make my phone in order to work (sometimes i use it for real

) and after i upload my rom (it's for a personnal use)

[NUT] · Apr 7, 2014 at 5:17 PM

@BreckZeBoulay

First before you attempt ANYTHING

Can you open up philz and leave it idle for 2 minutes to see what happens?

Also just a hunch...

BreckZeBoulay · Apr 7, 2014

reboot !!!!!!
EDIT : same test with TWRP, same result -> reboot !

for information, all flashing tests done before were done with TWRP
EDIT2 : I continue the upload of my rom ?

Yes please...

I'll check if the reboot is happening on my Xperia T as well...

That will happen later tonight...

I'll download it once I get home, about 4 hours from now. :good:

[NUT] · Apr 8, 2014 at 12:05 AM

@BreckZeBoulay and anyone who's trying to keep up.

2.7.107 now online. It fixes the reboot behavior in TWRP and CWM, but PhilZ still gives me a headache...

Misc other issues also solved, check dev thread to read the changelog (once I post it).

BreckZeBoulay · Apr 8, 2014 at 6:49 AM

v107 installer works for the installation.
but always reboot for TWRP and CWM after a minute.

You DL my rom ? Something wrong ? I can delete it from my GDrive ?

Hmmph, wtf?

darn

My Xperia T does not reboot anymore with that version

You can remove the rom, I have downloaded it...

BreckZeBoulay · Apr 8, 2014 at 8:02 AM

May be TX needs it own version, it's a special phone :silly:
