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!

someone managed to boot xiaomi-lisa to UI at least, so it would be best to pick up from that

Thank you for your assistance and thanks to everyone that worked on this project. First time I hear about attempts at this was years ago (with libhybris) and it's amazing to see that the concept of reusing android HALs is not dead. Mainline would be superior of course, but that's a pipedream for many devices. Good luck and have a nice your-time-of-day everyone!

since 9/treble devices you can use a generic systemimage so there's no need to build something device-specific. just need to build kernel which each target distro does differently

I thought so, but just wanted to make sure I am not making some stupid mistakes along the way. I am actually trying to port Droidian to my Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (xiaomi-lisa) (though Ubuntu Touch would be cool too). Sources available to me are lineage-19.1 and up so it would either be halium-12 or halium-13 (tried both, but obviously failed haha). I just wanted to tinker around with Linux on a phone as not only is that a fun concept, but it seems like a great learning opportunity.

Sorry, I'm looking for information on how to install Ubuntu Touch, my English is a bit bad.

Hi, could someone guide me on how to install it on a Note 20 Ultra and where do I download it from?

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

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

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

Halium

19 Feb 2025 10:23

I recommend you also check UBPorts Porting group history

Sorry for my mistake then. I went through a lot of different docs, posts, etc. and eventually ended up on the Halium docs page thinking that's what I need to do first (and since I failed multiple times I ended here). Guess the wording on the Droidian github docs confused me. Though it would be a good idea to update the docs in my opinion. There is a bit of conflicting and outdated information there and replying to messages like mine with the same thing over and over seems counterproductive.

/channel/DroidianLinux in that case, you shouldn't be touching the Halium android-tree at all

Halium

06 Feb 2025 23:04

/channel/ubports_porting then since it's a device new enough to use a generic system image for the Halium part, you only need to build the device kernel with tweaks etc without getting involved in android build process at all

Halium

06 Feb 2025 22:59

install what exactly? Halium is just the common container piece for running the Android vendor services on any OS utilizing it

Successfully build the halium boot but now i am getting error while build systemimage about expanding policy
