Hi,

Thanks for support.

I have a bootloop After install. e/os/ recovery installed. But After a longtime (2mn) on e/os splashscreen, device reboot

Cyril.

Can you try TWRP and LOS first and then dirty flash the eOS version

Ok. I’ll try it. Classic Wipe before install e/os version ?

Thanks a lot,

Cyril.

Clean LOS install, then dirty eOS install

Tested and same result

Any better with this version:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/eosbuildsronnz98/files/OtherSmartphones/e-2.6-s-20241220-UNOFFICIAL-shamu.zip/download

Nope. Freeze at Google splashscreen…

Last try, this time using LOS-UL sources:

e-2.7-s-20250119-UNOFFICIAL-shamu.zip

Holla,

i would try this, but I could not find the latest official e.OS build (R-2.3?) for the shamu to return in case the build fails. Any idea why the official backups have still not been restored on the servers or were I could find the latest official build 4 the shamu?

Yes, thx for the R e.OS build… I installed it yesterday dirty over R 1.18. All was fine including the Cam…

After that I managed to install the latest 2.7 S build also dirty over R 2.3. It booted successfully and most things were up and running besides the cam…

There is the the bad ID:0 ā€˜in use’ Error. Also the flashlight can’t power on. Errormessage: Cam is in use…

If one have an idea about that. Any info would be appreciated… :slight_smile:

Hi piero,

I deep tested your latest provided legacy e.OS build v2.3 for shamu today, because I decided to deinstall the v2.7 S build because of the camera ID:0 bug…

So far I found 2 problems… The App Lounge App and the Browser App does not start. Browser stops with an error message…

I think the App Version are to new for the older build 2.3 Build. App Lounge is v.2.12 and browser is v.131…

I managed to deinstall both apps and tried to install older versions of lounge and browser apps, but I received the following error belonging to some kind of signature problem.

adb: failed to install I:\Tools\Browser (foundation.e.browser) [v.123.0.6312.122].apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package foundation.e.browser signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!]

Also a reinstall of the browser v.131 fails with the following error:

adb: failed to install I:\Tools\Browser (foundation.e.browser) [v.131.0.6778.140].apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY: Reconciliation failed…: Reconcile failed: Package foundation.e.browser requires differently signed static shared library; failing!]

Do you have an idea what this means? Can you provide an none signature checking lounge and browser version for downgrading? I think app lounge v2.11 and browser v.123 will do the job on e.OS v.2.2 - v2.3…

Or do you want rebuild the Rom with older versions of these two apps?

Thx and greats
Pete

Did you flash e-2.3-r starting from Scratch GogolOS ? (format /data)

Did you clean flash from other version ? (wipe /data)

Did you dirty flash over other version ?

Yes, I installed it from the very scratch including format/wipe Data/System/Caches and clean flashed it right after. No dirty flashes this time here… :slight_smile:

No, I don’t started from the original GoogleOS but from e.OS R v1.18 community build, as I wrote some days ago. I decided to go back from the e.OS S v2.7 Version Ronnz had build because of the cam ID:0 bug…

If you can rebuild with older working versions of e.browser and e.app.lounge it would be nice… If not, its ok for me. Because I managed to deinstall these to Systemapps and use the aurora store and the older bromite or vivaldi browser instead…

PS: I think, that not so many people will use an alternate System like e.OS on this old Google device, because they don’t know that such possibility exist. So it’s not necessary to invest more time into this…

only this version works:
e-2.7-s-20250119-UNOFFICIAL-shamu.zip

I also get the same results with e-2.7-s-20250119-UNOFFICIAL-shamu.zip
TWRP recover, clean flash LOS 19.1 then dirty e-2.7-s-20250119-UNOFFICIAL-shamu
I get the same camera ID error

Then if I reload TWRP (since e-2.7 loads the companion /e/ OS recover),
then clean e-2.3-r-20250122-LEGACY-shamu
I get the same App Lounge error.

Is there any /e/ OS build at all for shamu that fully functions
(with a working App Lounge and Browser)?

Thank you.

Android 11 based e-2.3-r seems to work :
