[SOLVED] Oneplus 6T - installation /e/ KO

[martoni]

Bonjour,
Après avoir suivi le tuto suivant :
https://doc.e.foundation/devices/fajita/install

Après avoir unlock le bootloader et passer en mode recovery, je suis passé sur l’étape suivante avec l’image officielle twrp :

fastboot devices

 fastboot flash boot twrp.img

J’ai le message que c’est OK mais avec l’info de boot_a et là, je me dis, galère, il y a 2 partitions de boot.
J’avais galéré sur un Xiaomi et je n’aime pas du tout ça …Au final, j’ai surtout pas compris le process de déploiement avec 2 partitions de boot
Ensuite, je reboot manuellement en mode recovery mais je ne peux être connecté qu’avec fastboot, pas de commande adb, device no connect… Et un reboot classique, m’amène sur l’écran qui me montre que le bootloader est unlock mais je ne peux pas avoir TWRP ou rebooter sur l’OS installé…
J’ai réussi à changer le persist slot sur b et j’ai pu le flasher à l’os d’origine…

Quelqu’un pourrait-il m’apporter des détails pour réussir l’installation de /e/ ?

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

The command is ‘fastboot flash recovery twrp.img’ for flashing twrp
or
fastboot boot twrp.img for using twrp temporary

Hello @harvey186,
Thx to support my issue.
If i choose to using always twrp, i have to do this : fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Then, the twrp.img will install on boot_a or boot_b ?

It will be flashed on active partition. Sorry, I have no experience with a/b devices.

[HOW-TO] Flash /e/-OS on Fairphone 3 using Debian based GNU/Linux

Testing. Updating Nougat to Pie Without Firmware

Note: This is not a tutorial, how-to, or guide. Merely a journey trying to figure out how to easily and simply upgrade the Essential PH-1 from an existing /e/ Nougat ROM to Pi/e/ without losing data, going back to stock, or what have you. Okay, for testing purposes I went all the way back down to stock Nougat firmware. Using last Nougat build from Essential (some of the Nougat back-to-stock builds are no longer available). I edited the flashall.bat a bit. With ‘fastboot -w’ in the first line,…

Updating to /e/OS Pie using fastboot, adb, and TWRP on Essential PH-1

Glad to say, after a long and painful day, /e/ Pie is now on my PH1 and seems ok. How? See https://doc.e.foundation/devices/mata/ I install back to store using instructions on: https://www.essential.com/developer/current-builds Then update Android to Pie (9) from the device with Android.

I followed the official installation guide with success. I only changed one command: I replaced fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-1-fajita.img by fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-1-fajita.img

FYI, I did the installation on a fresh unboxed ONEPLUS A6013 model.

[martoni]

 martoni@home10  ~/adb-fastboot/platform-tools  fastboot devices

Found here: https://doc.e.foundation/devices/fajita/install

Temporarily flash a recovery on your device by typing:

 fastboot flash boot <recovery_filename>.img

[martoni]

Hello @zero,

When you did this : sudo fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-1-fajita.img

After, what kind of screen did you have on your phone and what did you do ?

thx

First, it’s strange that you don’t see your device when you type adb devices. I think this is the root cause of your issue…

I don’t remember well but I think that my phone was in fastboot mode. I typed the flashboot boot command and then the phone restarted automaticly recovery mode (with TWRP).

[martoni]

I found !!!

Well done!

What did you change? Only the TWRP image?
If I’m not wrong, you installed TWRP from Android 10 whereas I did from Android 9. This may be the explanation…

[martoni]

Hello,
Yes, with a new twrp.img from another source, and next :

sudo fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-32-fajita-Q-mauronofrio.img

And, the device (oneplus A6013) reboot with TWRP
