eOSWiki HOWTOs
100

Really? Well the branch that I have fork does not have lineage 16, and I cannot create a device tree with lineage because i dont know to do it… I am noob. I will have to learn how to do it this week

101

Ok, have a look on xiaomi firmware updater website for android 9 firmware.

If available flash it and than try this way [UNOFFICIAL BUILD] Pi/e/ GSI for Mi MaX3 (nitrogen)

102

Android 9 firmware does not exist for redmi note 9s. i will wain until e rom support Lineage 17. Thanks you very much

103

AH, OK, that’s bad. But if you want swap from MIUI there is a LOS17 GSI available

104

i want try e Rom because i dont want use google services. I would like to be a redmi note 9s E Rom maintainer if i build for this device. I’ve been looking for a long time for a rom like this

105

@andrelam am I right, the script isn’t working anymore because of changed docker command / image?
If yes, could you please update the post?

106

No, script from github works, only OTA is not working. I have a fix for that, but did not push to github.

107

Where can I find the script on github?

108

here I’m planning do push an update today to fix OTA url, if you don’t have custom OTA server you can use the script as-is.

109

Thanks. I’ve pulled the latest version. When I build I get the error reported in this post

Any idea how to fix?

110

I’ve just seen this commit
I’m running the previous version - is it likely to fail because it doesn’t have the changes? It didn’t seem to mind having export DEVICE... rather than export DEVICE_LIST...

111

No, they both work. If you don’t use OTA you can use the master branch as well.

112

as far as I know the ‘latest’ isn’t working anymore. Best using ‘community’

113

How calls to /e/ OTA server infrastructure should be removed for custom/unofficial builds ?
Is export OTA_URL=’’ in the build script doing it ?

114

I don’t know what happens when you pass an empty string, i never checked because i use a custom OTA.

115

@andrelam are you able to show how to set up an ota URL. I have searched without success

116

You install this on your server (you can skip the docker stuff if you want). Then you set the URL: https://yoururlxyz.org/api. I got trouble using php 7.4, so I guess it’s better to use older version, 5.6.

117

Thanks for that @andrelam

118

Hey Nikoleos. Nice that you own the pretty xiaomi davinci.

Do you have any progress?

119

Which branch of the builde.sh script should I use: master or community? Thanks
