| rinigus | For waydroid users: there looks to be major memory leak if you open / close sessions. waydroid sensors daemon keeps running and expands in ram. Hopefully, will be fixed soon | 15:47 |

| hnj | does it make sense (or better: is it even possible) to install TWRP "TeamWin Recovery Project" on a gs290 when wanting to install the sailfish port onto it? | 18:40 |
| hnj | uuuh, ok, when I go into fastboot (vol-down + power) I get a very small menu with asian characters in the upper left corner o_O is that normal? it’s a german device and I thought I knew germany is not in asia … | 19:58 |
| hnj | hm, no, vol-down+power is not fastboot mode, it seems … I just booted to fastboot from recovery and it just sits there saying "FASTBOOT mode..." in the bottom left … so WTH is that other asian menu? | 20:08 |
| poetaster | hnj: are you using the uports installer? what is 'on' the device? you need an android 10 base to work with | 20:39 |
| poetaster | hnj: if it sits in fastboot mode, start ubports installer and you should be able to go straight to SFOS. I believe it will install the android base image. BUT | 20:40 |
| poetaster | hnj: I'd do a Volla OS install (and upgrade if it's still 9 to 10) first. It's a bit laborious, but works (tm) | 20:41 |
| poetaster | piggz: I'm a bit, well, not so interested, but if I can be of assistance, I can try waydroid. | 20:42 |
| poetaster | piggz: I honestly don't get why anyone wants android :) But then, I'm debugging. dumm, di, dumm, dumm | 20:43 |
| piggz | poetaster: im pretty happy it works ok .. the sensor support uses a -lot- of ram an needs fixed | 20:43 |
| poetaster | piggz: cool. then I'll just sit it out and wait. are you using 4.2 daily now? | 20:44 |
| piggz | yes | 20:44 |
| piggz | on X | 20:44 |
| poetaster | Not volla? | 20:44 |
| hnj | poetaster: no, I’m following https://www.piggz.co.uk/sites/pgz/blog/volla-manual-install | 20:44 |
| poetaster | hnj: oh, I'm not sure following piggz advice is such a .... :) | 20:45 |
| piggz | i really dont get ubports installer ... manual flash is so much easier | 20:46 |
| poetaster | piggz, hnj: yes, my last install were all manual, but I'm responding to the irritation with the 'modes'. | 20:47 |
| poetaster | piggz: I had a couple of installs where I couldn't recover manually and the 'stupid' installer actually worked. | 20:47 |
| hnj | it was fresh out of the box, I just started android (I guess 9? don’t really remember) to get into "developer mode" to unlock the bootloader. then I followed https://www.piggz.co.uk/sites/pgz/blog/volla-manual-install. now it’s just sitting there with a black screen and not responding to buttons … | 20:48 |
| piggz | hnj: maybe you should have updated to 10 first | 20:49 |
| piggz | you can use ubports installed to flash 9 again | 20:49 |
| piggz | then update ota to 10 | 20:49 |
| hnj | piggz: oh … | 20:50 |
| piggz | i guess i need to update instructions to say volla OS 10 | 20:50 |
| piggz | that was my intention | 20:50 |
| poetaster | hnj: so, I'm the guinea pig, so if I say, a, b, c it's probably AFTER I've failed with other means ;) | 20:51 |
| hnj | hm, ok, any idea how to get it to do anything? | 20:51 |
| poetaster | hnj: hold the power button down 10 seconds and release, what happens? | 20:52 |
| hnj | poetaster: nothing. no vibration, nothing on the display. | 20:52 |
| piggz | im sure hold power and vol up will got back to recovery | 20:54 |
| hnj | piggz: also no reaction … | 20:55 |
| hnj | it seems bricked o_O | 20:55 |
| piggz | hnj: on PC, dmesg -w | 20:56 |
| poetaster | hnj: not likely. I had a bunch of 'do it again, do it again' episodes with my gs290 and my volla, but they always came around | 20:56 |
| piggz | any activty from USB or boot? | 20:56 |
| piggz | worst case, you would have to use the meditek flash tool to recover | 20:57 |
| poetaster | hnj: you do have power/usb to the device? | 20:58 |
| hnj | piggz: http://ix.io/3CZp when I plug it in | 20:58 |
| poetaster | piggz: usb 3 issue? | 20:59 |
| piggz | hnj: so, you atleast have the pre-loader ... the mtk tool will recover it | 20:59 |
| hnj | poetaster: oh, that’s reassuring! (might sound sarcastic, isn’t) | 20:59 |
| hnj | poetaster: it’s plugged in on a usb2 port. let me try usb3 … | 20:59 |
| poetaster | hnj: I'm sorry. I did give you my take on how to do this. usb2 is safer, but the paste bin you sent says usb3 | 21:00 |
| hnj | poetaster: oh, right! that port is usb3 … wasn’t aware of that | 21:01 |
| piggz | i never had a usb3 issue on volla ... only on pro1 | 21:01 |
| poetaster | piggz: ah, cool to know. I'm using an ancient (x220) thinkpad, so I wouldn't know but by word of mouth. | 21:02 |
| poetaster | hnj: although it's not how the cool guys do it, run the ubports install, press power + volume up, follow the instructions. | 21:03 |
| hnj | piggz: ok, cool, found the tool, will look into that, thanks | 21:03 |
| hnj | poetaster: heh, I’m on an x230 here (: | 21:04 |
| poetaster | hnj: works for me ;) for building, I must admit I'm very happy that piggz and rinigus have put the effort into chum. | 21:04 |
| poetaster | hnj: some of my projects 3 or 4 build targets build in the time it takes for my laptop to do one build | 21:05 |
| hnj | uuuh, is mtktool only for windows? | 21:06 |
| piggz | hnj: no .. i had a linux version, one moment | 21:07 |
| hnj | hm, wait, I found https://mtkflashtool.com/ and https://mtktool.com/ | 21:07 |
| poetaster | I'm off, happy hunting. It'll all work in the end. | 21:08 |
| hnj | poetaster: good night and thanks | 21:08 |
| hnj | damn | 21:08 |
| hnj | the latter has some tools for linux, it seems … | 21:09 |
| piggz | hnj: https://spflashtool.com/ | 21:09 |
| hnj | ah, thanks | 21:15 |
| hnj | ok, got it running | 21:18 |
| hnj | piggz: just not sure how to proceed now. do you have some more advice for me? (: | 21:20 |
| hnj | oh, I need to go to bed ): | 21:22 |
| hnj | piggz: thank you very much for your help! if you can point me to any good guide for recovering the phone or have any other advice what my next steps need to be, I’d appreciate that (: in any case I’ll likely continue my attempts in about 21 hours or so :D good night | 21:24 |
| piggz[m] | Hnj: i think i have the image to flash here | 21:28 |
