idk is it general issue but on my phone if you try this device stuck on fastboot

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:20

already tried but nothing happening after if you kill it

Hello begonia, my old friend.

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:14

however that's tested only with UBPorts recovery ramdisk and may not work for something else due to patched kernel

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:13

however for UT we do have some hacks like embedding recovery ramdisk inside halium-boot ramdisk

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:12

its not what i search i think

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:12

If you return back to original slot no problem but if you reboot after change slot its kill the phone why idk

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:11

fastboot rom flashing also not solving the problem

Hi. What is "halium_no_avoid_android_mode" and if I add this to cmdline can it solve my recovery problem?(I can't enter to Recovery when there is an halium image on boot partition)

Halium

Sweet pain, isn't it?

Halium

If that boot HAL had a name it would be "Not Sophie Sticated" (that was horrible)

Halium

26 Feb 2025 18:28

@halhadus0 you may try to strace the boot HAL process to find out what it actually does when changing slots

Halium

26 Feb 2025 18:26

I am not sure you can easily do this without the boot HAL being around.

hi! I'm in this situation!

Halium

(i learned this 1 min ago)

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:23

if tried to boot recovery image

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:18

well, return to the original slot then?

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:16

This doesn't seem to make much sense to me anymore. The phone is dead and I don't have any patched edl thing. Fastboot doesn't work at all... Pure sadness...

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:12

then no recovery for you basically

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:12

are recovery and boot separate partitions on your device?

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:11

and erasing xbl things+uefi things+misc and reflashing them

Halium

27 Feb 2025 20:10

Its bricked my phone heheh

Halium

26 Feb 2025 20:07

I found an easier way. My device's kernel already has ufs bsg active, but the device file is in a different location. I already have a qbootctl compiled in Debian stretch. I'll put it in initramfs and try to run it. (as a precaution it also copies boot_a onto boot_b heheheh)

Halium

26 Feb 2025 18:34

i felt that one from over the ocean

Halium

26 Feb 2025 18:29

on mtk all boot hal does is ioctl the ufs and then write a raw struct to a partition so shouldn't be too hard

Halium

26 Feb 2025 18:26

Btw, you don't have to cross post

Halium

26 Feb 2025 18:17

Hi. When initramfs goes into halium panic mode how can I change boot slot automatically by modifying the script that puts initramfs into halium panic mode? (USB tethering isnt working on my phone for now) When there is halium boot image in the active slot's boot partition I cant enter recovery. I want to keep testing even when I dont have access to fastboot.

recent GKI devices are notorious for being a pain to debug early boot
