I flashed https://github.com/droidian-images/rootfs-api28gsi-all/releases/tag/droidian%2Fbullseye%2F23 droidian-rootfs-api28gsi-amd64_20211127.zip and it fucking booted!!!
twrp > zip | halium | boot | works!
the touch works is old, but works. much faster than pinephone!
Let's try the latest api28 zip from droidian. this is not GSI, but I do not know how that affects.
fastboot boot ~/Downloads/enchilada/twrp/twrp-3.3.1-2-enchilada.img
copy zip droidian-OFFICIAL-phosh-phone-rootfs-api28-arm64-101.20250906_20250907.zip wipe Dalvik & system flash zip reboot bootloader fastboot flash boot_a ~/enchilada/halium-9/out/target/product/enchilada/halium-boot.img fastboot flash boot_b ~/enchilada/halium-9/out/target/product/enchilada/halium-boot.img
the zip does not work
let's try to flash the rootfs.img file to system. can not flash to system because system is tiny (500MB or so). had to flash OOS to fix it, did not want to boot twrp.
fastboot boot ~/Downloads/enchilada/twrp/twrp-3.3.1-2-enchilada.img
wipe Dalvik & system
reboot fastboot unzip droidian-OFFICIAL-phosh-phone-rootfs-api28-arm64-101.20250906_20250907.zip fastboot flash userspace ~/Downloads/enchilada/droidian/droidian-OFFICIAL-phosh-phone-rootfs-api28-arm64-101.20250906_20250907/data/rootfs.img fastboot flash boot_a ~/enchilada/halium-9/out/target/product/enchilada/halium-boot.img fastboot flash boot_b ~/enchilada/halium-9/out/target/product/enchilada/halium-boot.img
the official zip does not flash, there is a problem in the script.
how to make a zip
unzip droidian-OFFICIAL-phosh-phone-rootfs-api28-arm64-101.20250906_20250907.zip -d extracted-files
zip -u -r droidian-custom.zip extracted-files
adb sideload droidian-custom.zip
Invalid zip format...
rm droidian-custom.zip
cd extracted-files
zip -r9 ../droidian-custom.zip ./*
zip -r9u ../droidian-custom.zip ./*
adb sideload ../droidian-custom.zip
can i make the zip faster??
7z a -tzip -mx=1 -mmt=on ../droidian-custom-faster.zip ./*
adb sideload ../droidian-custom-faster.zip
you can get a shell!!!
maybe is because there is not enough space??
adb shell
for part in /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/*; do
printf "%-20s %12s\n" "$(basename $part)" "$(blockdev --getsize64 $part 2>/dev/null | awk "{print \$1/1024/1024 \" MB\"}")"
done
---
cat /proc/partitions | tail -n +3 | while read major minor blocks name; do
size_mb=$((blocks/1024))
printf "%-20s %12s\n" "$name" "${size_mb} MB"
done
---
df -h
...
while manually extracting the zip I get this
4GB max file size.......
is it in FAT??
doesn't matter, will flash manually.
wait, lets try ext4
fastboot format:ext4 userdata
fastboot boot ~/Downloads/enchilada/twrp/twrp-3.3.1-2-enchilada.img
adb sideload ~/Downloads/enchilada/droidian/droidian-api28/droidian-OFFICIAL-phosh-phone-rootfs-api28-arm64-101.20250906_20250907.zip
has to be my zip...
7z a -tzip -mx=1 -mmt=on ../droidian-custom-faster.zip ./*
adb sideload ../droidian-custom-faster.zip
nope, error. file too big maybe...
other builds separate the files in multiple img files like https://github.com/droidian-images/droidian/releases/download/droidian%2F101.20250906/droidian-OFFICIAL-phosh-phone-volla_yggdrasil-api28-arm64-101.20250906_20250907.zip
