Week 10 2024: Development and Testing Updates

@Manoj can we give users any further guidance on whether all /e/OS T ROM are fully loaded with necessary vendor parts ?

We read back in August 2023

but now the advice is limited to

In order to verify that an /e/OS T build is “fully loaded” I have referred to that device’s LineageOD device page from https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ → Upgrade page link, to check that no “return to Stock ROM” is mentioned there.

Before attempting such S → T upgrade over cautiously (?) after downloading the e-1.2x-t ROM I would extract as required [Footnote 1] to inspect the ROM.zip for good evidence of vendor parts.

Clearly the advice to

Take a backup first of all your important data.

is required.

Footnote 1

Referring to [Walkthrough] Extract eRecovery and boot images using payload-dumper-go

for this purpose the command can be simplified to

$ ./payload-dumper-go <your e ROM filename.zip>

Example satisfactory output from this advice

$ ./payload-dumper-go e-1.20-t-20240222382228-dev-enchilada.zip
