Installation failed with Easy installer - Error: E: Timout waiting for messages from minadbd

[freegooglephone]

I went through the installation process with easy-installer for Samsung Galaxy S9. Everything worked well except the final step of installation:
Apply update → Apply from ADB: I got this message in the protocol window on the smartphone:

Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"...
E: Timout waiting for messages from minadbd

It might be worth checking the Easy Installer log

@Ingo_FP_Angel

Location of the log file:

• Linux: ~/snap/easy-installer/common
• Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\easy-installer
  • if you don’t know how to open this location, press the Windows key plus the “r” key at the same time and paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\easy-installer into the box that appears, then hit the Enter key)

[piero]

as you already have successully installed the “custom-recovery-manager”,

you can install “adb” on your computeur,
https://doc.e.foundation/pages/install-adb
and go direct to the last step (8) or (8) in the guide :

@piero

Now the easiest part : install /e/ !

.

8) Install the image of /e/OS on the rom of your device from your Computer using the ADB sideload method.

.

using "TWRP"

.

using "recovery-e"

.

9) Install the image of /e/OS on the ROM of your device without computer, from the “custom recovery manager” using the SDcard method

.

using "TWRP"

.

using "recovery-e"

.

[HOWTO] an Unified Install Guide Project for /e/

this post is editable as a Wiki. (1) Download an /e/OS build (2) Download recovery-e or TWRP (3) install the appropriate Flashing Tools (4) allow “Non Vendor OS” to be installed on the device (5) Check the communication between the PC and your smartphone (6) Unlock the Bootloader (7) Flash a custom recovery manager on your device (8) install /e/ from your computer, using the “adb sideload” method or (9) Install /e/ without computer using the “Device-Storage” method (10) post install…

Linux: ~/snap/easy-installer/common

Thank you very much. I am using an Arch Linux system. Could you please tell me the name of the log file?

Based on my further analysis, I believe that the download of the image was not successful, even though I tried to do a complete reinstall several times. On my last attempt today, I even waited 5 hours (!) for the download to complete. But it never really confirmed that the download was complete on the phone.

[aibd]

Did you already open the link ?

@freegooglephone

Could you please tell me the name of the log file?

The installer creates a log file with a randomly generated name … what is the output of

ls ~/snap/easy-installer/common/

[freegooglephone]

@aibd

… what is the output of

ls ~/snap/easy-installer/common/

like I wrote I am not using ubuntu with snap but Archlinux with AUR packages. I have found the path where the .log files are located

/tmp/easy-installer/

Here some part of the logfile:

Maybe you noticed the two errors
error = java.lang.NullPointerException: Input stream must not be null
but actually similar appears in mostly every log.

Otherwise that extract tells us that the script wait-e-recovery-sideload.sh generates only

  (debug)waiting for recovery

then hangs.

@freegooglephone

Based on my further analysis, I believe that the download of the image was not successful

The progress of the download and its checksum verification should be recorded on the log.

@freegooglephone

it never really confirmed that the download was complete on the phone.

No, this is unfortunately the case.

There are some open issues with Easy Installer https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/?label_name[]=Easy-installer.

A full log might show why you are in this situation.

Edit
I believe the script wait-e-recovery-sideload.sh is used shortly after the user is asked to boot the phone into the Custom recovery. There is a bit of a technique to this described here

@aibd

Your first boot into TWRP

Or “Your first boot into the custom recovery”. This was originally written when TWRP was the standard custom recovery in use. Now we find the more simple /e/ Recovery published with most /e/OS builds.

Many users fail at this point; you should avoid allowing the phone to do a standard shutdown cycle.

Where we have just overwritten the Android recovery with the Custom recovery the user needs to know:

The key combination Volume down + Power on it’s own is Soft reset and will cause your phone to reboot and the device will over-write TWRP back to original, preventing the install of /e/, without further warning.

The instruction set to make your first boot into TWRP is often abbreviated for experienced users, but for a first timer would read:

• Please now Force stop the phone – from the current “Download mode”
  • Disregard the (unhelpful) screen message “Downloading … Do not turn off target”
• Use Volume down + Home/Bixby + Power to Force stop.
• Attend carefully, keep holding the buttons - it may take about 7 seconds,
• the instant the screen goes black (black as in off) and before the device starts to restart
• instantly change the finger press to Volume up + Bixby/Home + Power,
• Be prepared for another 7 second hold without relaxing, until Teamwin is seen.

Here, as a video.

Did you see the Custom recovery / TWRP on your device?

[freegooglephone]

@aibd

The key combination Volume down + Power on it’s own is Soft reset and will cause your phone to reboot and the device will over-write TWRP back to original, preventing the install of /e/, without further warning.

I will do a new try for installation. First of all I want to do a Hard reset before starting a new installation routine. Which key combination do I need?

How long should it take maximum with a normal wireless connection to complete the download?

@aibd

A full log might show why you are in this situation.

Here it the complete log which may show if the download was complete at least or not?

How long should it take maximum with a normal wireless connection to complete the download?

If you had equipment which usually managed 3 - 4 GB / hour or better, then a 1+ GB download would be 20 minutes … so this is my expectation … but I believe the downloads are in place already.

• When you run Easy Installer over again, we expect Easy Installer to check all is in place, and will pick up where it left off.

The full log is much more helpful, thank you, the highlights …

Maybe I included too much … but note that every edited section ends with success, until “waiting for recovery”.

I would say that this is all good (probably), except TWRP failed to boot.

@freegooglephone

I will do a new try for installation. First of all I want to do a Hard reset before starting a new installation routine. Which key combination do I need?

I don’t think you can Factory reset from buttons, you could attempt this from Android recovery (perhaps) or from booting to system. I doubt it is actually necessary [1]; perhaps the way to see your options is to ask:

• Did Easy Installer show a screen asking you to “now boot into custom recovery” or so.
• Did you see the Custom recovery / TWRP on your device? – Essential
• or do you see Android recovery … is it working?

If you never saw the Custom recovery / TWRP then just try again taking care with the “button press technique” of "Your first boot into the custom recovery”

[1] Edit, to express the Hard reset idea differently … if the phone boots into Android system as if nothing had happened to it … then Factory reset is fine. If the phone is is some unknown state then it may be a less good idea.

Edit 2 On reflection, my analysis does not account for what looks like a freeze or hang after wait-e-recovery-sideload.sh is run. Note: I do not know the state of the phone – it is possible that the error is coming from the non-compatible Android recovery.

We see (debug)waiting for recovery but I think we usually see that Easy Installer continues to log that it is “on standby” and we continues to see repeated (debug)waiting for recovery as the timestamp moves forward.

Maybe a connection with the OP error seen on device.

E: Timout waiting for messages from minadbd

I never studied minadbd before, maybe is involved.

• https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bootable/recovery/+/refs/tags/android-10.0.0_r11/install/adb_install.cpp

With your solution I could solve the problem. Thank you very much!!

@aibd

• Please now Force stop the phone – from the current “Download mode”
  • Disregard the (unhelpful) screen message “Downloading … Do not turn off target”
• Use Volume down + Home/Bixby + Power to Force stop.
• Attend carefully, keep holding the buttons - it may take about 7 seconds,
• the instant the screen goes black (black as in off) and before the device starts to restart
• instantly change the finger press to Volume up + Bixby/Home + Power,
• Be prepared for another 7 second hold without relaxing, until Teamwin is seen.

Here, as a video.

The next crucial step is for installing the image that has already been downloaded to the smartphone:
Press the buttons together: “On/Power”, “Home/Bixbie” (bottom left button) and “Volume down” until the device is switched off. A black screen appears. Then switch IMMEDIATELY (!!!) from the “Volume down” button to the “Volume up” button. Be sure to keep the “On/Power” and “Home/Bixbie” buttons (bottom left button) pressed(!!!)
