How it works:
1. Each boot.img packs zImage (real kernel) and ramdisk (special files for kernel use)
2. This one has all modifications from LGGW rootboot by Justin Case:
a. Adds su binary, superuser.sh install script, modified install-recovery.sh and additional step into init.rc file to invoke superuser.sh install script. Also modifications to mount system as rw and some disabled security.
3. So basically it mount system as rw and does following (cut from superuser.sh install script):
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/mount -o remount,rw /system
/system/bin/sleep 2
/system/bin/cat /sbin/su > /system/xbin/su
/system/bin/cat /sbin/su > /system/xbin/daemonsu
/system/bin/cat /sbin/install-recovery.sh > /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/bin/chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
/system/bin/chown 0.0 /system/xbin/daemonsu
/system/bin/chown 0.0 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/bin/chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
/system/bin/chmod 06755 /system/xbin/daemonsu
/system/bin/chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/bin/sync
/system/bin/sleep 3
/system/bin/reboot
I have dumped the rom from my debug/test version and was wondering if you were able to give me a guide on how i could try and flash it with a retail version? I presume this root guide probably won't work for me
Well, if hardware and partitions are the same - I do not see why it will not work. However, it will not help to flash.
I might try to compile twrp, but will have to carefully read its docs first.
thanks @XorZone confirmed as working and a nice easy process too (I was already unlocked).
Out of curiosity, modded LGGW rootboot or just renamed?

Thanks for letting me know!
I reverse engineered changes in LGGW by unpacking and comparing ramdisks from both rootboot and original lg kernel and then applied the same changes to our kernel extracted from PC Companion files.
great thinking and good job ?
btw, that pic confirmed su access to watch over bluetooth debug connection ?
really great tutorial. I am planning to buy this watch, but I think currently there is NO app that requires Root. so I wonder how can we get benefit of this ?

There is at least Wear Control app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=octathorp.wearcontrol
I plan to code density changer that will require access to adb, so either from rooted phone or rooted wear.

that's awesome man! will purchase mine next week, can't wait to root it. thanks for the answer.
Thanks for the root, XorZone. For anyone wondering, here's the dmesg of the watch
A few small observations from digging:
The main chipset seems to be the BCM23550
The CPU has 4 cores, 2 are disabled in software. Should be easy enough to reenable if you please
It definitely has WiFi hardware, but the firmware is currently missing from the image. If you mange to get a hold of compatible firmware and nvram, it should be simple enough to get WiFi up and running
The WiFi firmware message mentions a "43341". Which is odd because apparently the main chipset does have WiFi support built in. Searching for a Broadcom 43341 gives you this, but this might just be a red herring.

Yeah, I noticed the same about WiFi chip, it might be that they packed bcm43341 as part of the BCM23550 soc, like Invensense MPU9250 chip packs mpu6500 inside.
For the 43341 I'm finding it in the configs here: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/tegra/+/bdde9f16131a5ac2039062d5ce22e3e153acbe68^!/
Looks like BCM43341 is BCM4334 + NFC chip, so we could try S3 I9300 files as per http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/GalaxyS3I9300Firmwares

As usual, check if adb enabled in settings-about-developer options, if there are no developer options - it is as usual 7 times click on build number in about screen.

Current issuesApps can't request root because of limit of project astoria. I'm working on it.
ProcedurePerform an Hard reset first.
After settings up, deploy Root Tool.
Go to Lumia Registry Editor, click on navbar > templates and then select all.
Close the app and go to settings > Update and security > For developers.
Enable developer mode and click on Discovery. It should show to you the pin.
Download Astoria Tools.rar
Extract it.
Open that extracted folder.
You should see wconnect and so on.
On the "void" area, make SHIFT + Right click, and then click to "Open Command prompts here".
Write wconnect usb and write the pin.
After this, download AOW shortcut.7z in the attachment, extract it, copy that in your phone, example "Phone\Documents"
Now, go to your phone and open File Explorer. Open Documents and click on Aow shortcut
Go to RootFS directory and delete the file init.
Warning, there are 2 files, you need to delete "init.rc", it has about 20-19 KB.
Restart now your phone.
Keep it plugged on computer and wait about 5 minutes. it should you show "Windows Phone" device connection.
Open it and go to: Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow\RootFS
Download from Astoria folder link, the latest Rootkit & Gapps version.
Extract it.
Copy ALL Files to the phone (Data\Users\DefApps\APPDATA\Local\Aow\RootFS).
It ask you if you want to replace/merge files. Say Yes.
Press yes if it show this to you:
After you finished you need to set MTP to the standard path.
Download CustomPFD and deploy it.
Open that app.
Navigate to TWEAKS PAGE and click to General tweaks.
Navigate to UTILITIES: check FULL FS ACCESS and uncheck again.
Restart your phone.
Download Superuser.rar and extract it on Astoria tools folder.
After boot, connect to your pc and install superuser.apk (adb install superuser.apk)
After installation, you can launch the command "adb shell" and as you can see you are a root user
I'm really destroyed but at the same time happy

@ADeltaX, have you tried Insecure root or insecure su binary? The su binary that doesn't rely on a root management app like SuperSU? Because we can get direct root access on an app instantly if it requests for root with that...

Nope, Sincerely I never heard about insecure SU binary.
The SU version is a modded one, because if I use the SuperSU version, on invoking SU it say "segmentation fault" --> mean something doesn't work like shared object (library aka .so).
Someone can compile strace binary for armeabi/armeabi-v7a?
At this time Virtual Box doesn't want to start (I have Linux Mint in VM with AOSP source).

It has LINUX/UNIX and MAC support!
Because there is another tool for Android called Android Multi Tools, I renamed this one to Lx Multi Tool, future releases will go under this name.
Features:
Fastboot- Unlock/Lock Bootloader- Flash Recovery Menu (you can choose and add recoveries) - TWRP 2.8.7.2 Included- Flash any partition (Flashing submenu)- Flash full Stock images (you can choose and add images)- Erase partitions (you can choose which of the partitions)- Reboot (you can choose again...)Adb- Sideload .zip files (you can choose and add .zip files) - SuperSU v2.56 (Systemless!) included- Backup (you can choose the name and place for your backup)- Restore (you can choose your backup)- Version (it just shows the version of your adb binaries) - platform-tools 23.0.1 included- Logs (DMESG and Logcat)- Screenshots (you can directly take screenshots to your PC with no Root)- Reboot (lots of choices)Others- Refresh and delete files/folders from menus (Right-click or key F5 and Del)- Open tool folders from the menus (to add your own kernel/stock image/recovery/sideload zip files)- Tab key support for easier keyboard navigation- Tool-tips for all buttons- Check for updates- Link to xda-thread (here) Download links:
Windows x86|x64 - Linux x64 - MAC x64All released versions can be found here.
(The latest versions are always on the bottom.)[ROOT] Use SuperSU 2.62 or higher from here systemless for 6.0.1 and above.
Known bugs/limitations:
- For partition Flashing, it is recommended(mandatory?) to do a reboot-bootloader if you want to flash multiple partitions one after the other. (according to the Google flashing scripts) (Implemented in 1.2.1)- For the return to stock, the tool will be stuck after your phone successfully boots, you need to reboot to fastboot again in order to flash the Radio and finish the full return to stock. (Fixed in 1.2.0)
Changelog:
Check the changelog for each release here. Tutorials/FAQ:
Q: How do I get in bootloader/fastboot mode?Turn off the phone and turn it on by using Volume down + Power key.Q: How do I check for updates on your tool?Follow the instructions on the screen below.
Q: Where can I find the device driver to install it for windows?Click here, download the driver, and run the setup.Q: How do I root my stock phone?- Unlock bootloader.- Flash recovery.- Use SuperSU 2.62 systemless or higher from here.(Usually the latest version upon tool release is included in the Sideload folder of the tool, you can either sideload it or copy it to recovery and flash it manually)Q: I get an error "Cannot open file" on MAC, what should I do?Open the terminal, go to your application path and paste this command:
Code:
chmod +x LxMultiTool.app/contents/macos/*
Q: What do I need to do in order to be in Fastboot or in ADB mode.Fastboot mode will be detected only while being in bootloader.ADB mode will be detected from Recovery (custom) and actual ROM with USB debugging active.Refresh button needs to be used in order to check for what mode you are in.Q: Are there any other software that I need to install in order to run this tool?On Windows and MAC everything is bundled, so nothing needs to be installed, just run.On Linux you need to install from your package manager libQt5Core, libQt5Widgets, libQt5Gui, libQt5Network.If it's not enough, use ldd LxMultiTool in the terminal to find out what you're missing from your environment.Q: I have a yellow/orange/red text screen during boot, what's that?When you unlock you usually get the Orange screen and it's normal, but if you really want to know what's this about, give a reading to this.Q: Hey, my device is not detected, why?On windows, you need to manually install the USB drivers, they are not included and probably they won't be included in this tool.Also, make sure you click the connection Refresh button after connecting the device to your PC.Q: What do I need to do in order to install a custom ROM?1. Unlock Bootloader.2. Flash a custom recovery of your choice.3. Flash an insecure kernel (boot).4. Flash custom ROM with no problems via recovery.All those things are found and can be done via this tool.Q: Hi, I just downloaded this tool, how do i use it?First, extract the folder somewhere.After that, run LxMultiTool.exe on windows by double-clicking it, LxMultiTool on Linux, and the same on mac.Q: Do I need android-sdk installed or something else?No! This tool uses its own supplied binaries for adb and fastboot, if you have android-sdk installed it will be ignored anyway.This tool is fully portable and stand-alone.Q: I get an error while trying to unlock the bootloader -> FAILED(remote: oem unlock is not allowed), what now?Starting with Android 5.0, you need to enable Bootloader Unlocking from the developer settings, in order to do that, follow these steps:- Enable Developer options- Enable USB Debugging- Look for the ‘OEM Unlock’ Option and toggle it.Q: How do I use the return to stock feature?First, download the latest package from here, then extract the contents (there is an archive in the archive) until you get to a folder like angler-mda89dthat contains the images, that folder needs to be copied in the /Data/StockPackages folder in order to be visible.Easier steps -> Get your device in bootloader -> Start the tool -> Hit refresh -> go to Stock -> hit open folder -> copy the extracted folder with the name angler-xxxxxx in there, hit F5 or Right-click + Refresh -> you should see the folder in there like in the following screenshot. Thanks @ursa08 for the screenie.
Q: How do I enable Developer options?- Launch the Settings- Scroll Down and Tap on About Phone(or About Device)- Locate the Build Number Section- Tap on the Build Number Option 7 Times- Go Back to the Main Settings Page- Scroll Down and Tap on Developer OptionsQ: Hi, I just bought a phone what should I do now?Well, you firstly need to unlock your bootloader...Q: What is logcat?Well, you can pretty much use google for that answer, but to put it short, is that thingy that tells you what is happening behind the scenes of your phone.It is usually used for debugging and entertainment(?).When you report an error/bug to somebody, it will be a blessing to provide a logcat (log file)!Q: What is a Custom Recovery and why do I need one?A custom recovery is that thingy that lets you flash .zip files, use your logic, and you will get it why you need one.Q: There are other guides/tutorials out there. Should I check them instead of this?If you manage to get things done using this one, no, otherwise yes, note that some could be outdated...Q: What is sideload and how do I use it?Sideload is a function from adb that let's you flash a zip file while in recovery directly from your PC.Please note that you need to be in sideload mode on your recovery before doing this.To enter sideload mode, in TWRP go to Advanced -> ADB Sideload -> Swipe to sideload

AFAIK, locking bootloader has nothing to do with the recovery, but then again, I never locked a bootloader...
Pretty sure you'd need to flash stock recovery. It won't hurt anything to try it without stock recovery, but if it doesn't work then you'll know for sure why.
I'm not planning to mess around with it too much until a stock system file is available. I need a Plan B. Lol

From what I can see at a first look is that this simple_curses.sh is some leftover from when I experimented with some UI tricks for bash to try to simulate the looks of the batch version..

When it comes to sound, yes. But then, Lurker always cooks a fw fix for iBasso to optimize OS and to add Google Play store, and that is pure xda
Please I need help.
I have installed lurkers firmware, installed magisk, got root access , installed solid explorer, installed busy box, installed selinux permissive then i have installed audio modification library plus audio compatibility patch and after all that viper4android and James dsp. I think I did everything right. My problem is that when I activate the sound mods sound comes out distorted, noise, scratchy.
The drivers are installed properly and processes properly. I think I basso has modified system audio path for bit perfect and thats why all this problem.
Or I don't know why. Can someone help me or knows anyone how can I fix it. Thx
Can someone please help me flash magisk and obtain root so that i could use some magisk modules.
Is it safe to flash the magisk zip file using recovery?
Thanks in advance.
Yes of course. Download lurkers firmware
https://github.com/Lurker00/DX160-Firmware-Add-on , and magisk is already pre installed, after installing lurkers firmware you need only to download magisk manager apk and that's it.

I was hoping for a way without lurker's add-on... can flashing the magisk zip from the recovery of the DX160 work?
Yes and no. via adb fastboot or adb sideload it doesn't let's you Flash magisk or any other costume recovery. You need to disable verity, remount system, unlock the device and then yes I believe you can flash everything you want. Or use the RKdevtool or android tool to flash or patch system. I'm not sure. Lurkers firmware is the easiest way to root the device. If after installing lurkers firmware and installing magisk manager apk does not lets you install modules then you need to Download exactly the same stock firmware you already have installed in your device , extract stock firmware on Pc then select boot.img and copy boot.img into device internal storage.
After that you need to open magisk, type update, select and patch file , then choose the stock boot.img you saved in your device type and then reboot your device. After this process you will be able to install all magisk modules without issues and it will work perfectly.
Do not update and flash magisk_patched.img. It will cause problems - bootloop, etc.
If want to try some commands and try to flash
Then turn on the player anable usb debugging, OEM unlocking then will pop a window on the top and must select transfer files or transfer photos.
After that don't turn your player off. Open command window and type or try some commands
Examples :
adb devices
adb root
adb remount
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
adb shell mount -o rw,remount rootfs /
adb push your path/your file.img /data
adb install -r your path/your file.apk
adb shell 0<supersu.cmds for example
adb reboot.
Etc.
Trying unlocking device
I tried this commands but without positive results
adb devices
fastboot devices
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock_accept
fastboot getvar unlocked
Fastboot reboot
If you want to try more commands and experiment
then visit
http://opensource.rock-chips.com/wiki_Fastboot
This was one way to remount system, push and install
But the player must be on and select transfer files on top of player.
Other solution is to use RKdevtool or android tool.
If you need the disable verity folder and make it easier for you then go and download it Form fidelizer ibasso dx160 website.
I will not be able to try and make viper4android or James dsp work because I will sell this player. I don't like anymore ibasso players.
I will work on the fiio m11.
Best player ever!

Did you made viper4android works for dx160? Is equalizer working? I want to try but dont know how to start, manual rooting or with lurkes firmwire. Any one have viper4android on dx160?
ViPER4Android, JamesDSP and Dolby Digital Plus.
I see a few of you mentioning these types of DSPs. I myself have just gotten this device, and because im using it as a streaming bluetooth device (DSP is important) i was about to send it back as these werent apparently going to be simple to implement. Though... after some persistence i have a result that works well with Lurkers fiirmware mod.
Flashing the following Magisk module will indeed give you working V4a/JamesDSP/DolbyDDP , though afterward the Mango player (from within android) will not work, so i debloated it within the module. Though access to Mango player can obviously be achieved by booting into Mango OS. So i dont see this as an issue. Or.. disable my module and reboot.

Hello Guys/Girls/Non-Binary this should just be some Tutorial because I didn't find a lot about this on xda.
I have Twrp installed check out this thread on how to do it: TWRP FOR S20 FE EXYNOS
TWRP KEY COMBO: Power + VolUP
I will give you the download-link of the right version of the Twrp if you have the SM-G780G because i feel no one has it and searching comments is kinda bothering.
Twrp for SM-G780G (dunno if it works on others but should) is in attached Files on This Post.
This Version of Twrp has a small "bug" or a kinda non see able feature because it doesn't give you a GUI thing for enable Write-Rights in "/system_root" if you are a n00b don't worry explain later.
First of all you need adb and linux is kinda good because i don't know on how to do some zip things in Windows (and it kinda sucks anyway but don't cry )
So the real tutorial starts here (you HAVE TWRP and a boootable system right now) if not check the link i gave you.
First of all you root the phone (You can skip this step if you don't want root rights):
Download Magisk-Zip : Magisk Zip
Connect the Phone and your PC and put the magisk.zip on your phone. -> In Twrp go to install -> Click Magisk.zip.
Wait and some mad voodo magic from your Lord and Savior topjohnwu: https://forum.xda-developers.com/m/topjohnwu.4470081/
appears and you're rooted.
So this is the more complicated part of the tutorial (because we only have android 11 on this phone we need to kinda manually deodex you're services.jar I did a tutorial on that here:
Sig Spoofing on Android 11
You can use the exact same steps!!
short description: download haystack11-attempt, dexpatcher, the zip you need to rename, - pull and deodex your services.jar - flash the zip in Magisk!!
After that boot in system install fdroid (put the apk from your PC to the phone install via Samsung-files or some other app) download signature-spoof checker from fdroid and give the permission if that works youre good to go.
Go in Magisk -> Reboot to Recovery (Or Reboot in Twrp with Key-Combo)
Now we are debloating (the de-bloat in /system_root is necessary the pm uninstall commands and i will add them later forgot to write down and I'am always high(so i forgot them) also they are optional) for real you could de-bloat a lot more here but I doesn't wanna ruin camera app and things real Samsung boys will know what i talk about. but if you have better de-bloating options go and comment!
System_root de-bloat necessary:
adb shell

rm /system_root/system/priv-app/Velvet/Velvet.apk
In Twrp -> Mount System
Now open Terminal on Your PC (in use of ADB) and try to do one of the delete commands in /system_root if you're getting a rights error don't worry I explain how you get it working.
The command is:
mount -o rw,remount /system_root
Go try a delete command in /system_root again. everything should be fine now.
Go through all the de-bloat commands after that download the microG flash-able zip of your linking here: (Or use Nanolux)
https://github.com/FriendlyNeighborhoodShane/MinMicroG_releases/releases/tag/2021.04.28
Put it on your phone and flash it throuh twrp.
Boot and Boom OneUI 3.1 with MicroG and low bloat this Exynos now runs like a beast.
Sorry this my second post on this thread so don't kill me for my bad English or some dumb mistakes!
Credits to all the beautiful guys on xda! This stuff would never happen without those Legends!!
Exynos is SM-G780F any owners of the G i.e. the snapdragon 4G version following your link will have a bad time.

You can't pass safetnet with microg installed, it has been an issue for a while
SafetyNet API · Issue #181 · microg/GmsCore
As of version 0.37 Pokemon Go uses GMS's safetynet feature and I for one can't get past login. What is the implementation status on safetynet, is this out of scope for microg?
github.com
If you want to pass safetynet you'll have to remove microg and reinstall google play services to able to pass it.
Hello, does this microG degoogle work with the S 20 FE Snapdragon
(G781B/DS) ?

Droidian is a GNU/Linux distribution based on top of Mobian, a Debian-based distribution for mobile devices. The goal of Droidian is to be able to run Mobian on Android phones.
This is accomplished by using well-known technologies such as libhybris and Halium.Carefully read the whole post before jumping to installation.They are important to give you the best idea of the current state of the OS.
What is working:- Alarm Clock (bullseye/stable only. Doesn't work on bookworm/nightly)
- Manual brightness
- Vibration
- Carrier info, signal strength
- Data connection (read bugs section)
- Incoming, outgoing calls
- SMS in, out
- Change audio routing
- Voice in calls
- Volume control in calls
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- Proximity
- Rotation
- Touchscreen
- Earphones
- Headphones
- Loudspeaker
- Microphone
- Volume control
- Pin unlock
- Waydroid
- Wireguard
What doesn't work:- Most of the things not mentioned above.
Bugs:- RIL gets broken after switching airplane mode or modem off/on. Fixed after a reboot.
- Mobile data stops working after making or receiving calls. Toggle mobile data on and off from the settings app.
- Mobile data doesn't work in the first 2-3 minutes after reboots. Toggle mobile data on and off from the settings app after waiting a while to get it working.
- Droidian has no power management yet so you're left with only the 5020mAh battery which can last up to 6 hours without heavy usage.
Installation:
Make a backup now, as your device will be wiped.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download the needed files and tools
Droidian rootfs (specific build required)
Android 10 (Q) stock firmware
Latest TWRP recovery
Adaptation (unofficial)
Device preparation
A USB 2.0 port/hub with an actual USB 2.0 controller is recommended (Using fastboot on a USB 3.0 port may cause errors with some Xiaomi devices)
Save your APN (Android)
The Access Point Name or APN can be found in the Settings menu of Android
Take a piece of paper or a text editor, and write down everything that you see on that screen
These are likely to include a URL (e. g., internet.carrier.net), a username, and possibly a password
Unlock the bootloader (Computer)
Refer to the instructions provided by the device manufacturer
Other useful sources include the LineageOS wiki and xda-developers
Boot into recovery (Computer)
Boot TWRP by running fastboot boot twrp-VERSION-miatoll.img
Wipe the device (TWRP)
Go to the Wipe menu
Select Advanced wipe
Tick the boxes called Dalvik / ART cache, Cache, System, Vendor, Data
Swipe to Wipe
Go back to the previous menu
Choose Format data and type yes
Go back to the main menu and select Reboot
Choose Bootloader
Boot TWRP again by running fastboot boot twrp-VERSION-miatoll.img
Copy the files to the device (Computer)
When TWRP is booted, open the device’s Internal storage from your computer
Copy all of the files you downloaded to this folder
Droidian installation (TWRP)
Install recovery
Install the file called twrp-VERSION-miatoll.img as an Image to the Recovery partition
Install Droidian rootfs
Install the file called droidian-rootfs-arm64_YYYYMMDD.zip as a Zip file
Alternatively, you can enter ADB sideload mode and run adb sideload droidian-rootfs-arm64_YYYYMMDD.zip
Installation is optional for stable releases, but it is recommended, because it helps with debugging
Finalizing the installation
Install adaptation package as a flashable zip (TWRP)
Install the file called adaptation-droidian-miatoll.zip as a Zip file
Alternatively, you can enter ADB sideload mode and run adb sideload adaptation-droidian-miatoll.zip
Boot your device
Go to the Reboot menu and choose System
TWRP might complain that there is no OS installed, but that’s fine
The first boot may take longer, and at least one spontaneous reboot is expected during the process
You should be greeted with the lock screen, the default password is 1234
Congratulations, if everything went well, now you should be running Droidian.
Notes:
Recovery
Use the recovery linked at the start of this page. The installation might fail with other recoveries that the one mentioned above.
Default password
The default password is 1234.
Apn
Mobile data needs an APN to be set up from Settings -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Names.
Broken mobile data after calls
Data connection might break after receiving and making calls. Switch it off and on from Settings -> Mobile Network to fix it. Be careful to not turn off the mobile modem or a device restart might be required.
Broken calls
Switching airplane mode on and off or switching the mobile modem off and on from the Quick Settings or the Settings App will break calls. If that’s the case reboot the phone to fix it.
Out of storage
By default when flashing Droidian it allocates 8GB of memory to the system. This might not be enough and luckily you can allocate more storage with ADB by running (while in recovery): adb shell e2fsck -fy /data/rootfs.img and adb shell resize2fs -f /data/rootfs.img xG where x is the amount of GB to allocate (eg: 50G for 50 GB).
Status
Droidian GSIs are experimental! Bugs and missing features are expected.
SSH access
Connect your phone to your computer and type ssh [email protected], the password is 1234 (on Windows, you may need PuTTY)
Applications
You can find a list of mobile-friendly Linux applications at LinuxPhoneApps

Announcement/Update ~ Droidian
Support for Droidian Bullseye has been discontinued. Droidian Bookworm has become more stable while the old Bullseye version hasn't received any updates from the devs since December 2021.
Users that are still on Bullseye are recommended to backup their data and install the Bookworm version for Droidian by following the new instructions located at https://devices.droidian.org/devices/miatoll/
For already Bookworm users:
Until now we've used the same ramdisk Ubuntu Touch uses because Droidian had no dynamic partition support. That has been changed on the previous days and a new adaptation package has been created to update the old ramdisk we used.
I've disabled the old miatoll ppa repository so the kernel won't get updated since it will "wipe" all the data and modifications.
To continue to receive kernel updates add the new miatoll ppa repository:
Your data and system changes will be cleared but will remain in /userdata/rootfs-overlay which will no longer be used after updating to the latest kernel as all the changes are now written into the Droidian rootfs.
Bash:
sudo curl -# --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -Sf https://miatoll-linux.github.io/repo/miatoll.gpg --output /usr/share/keyrings/miatoll.gpg && \
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/miatoll.gpg] https://miatoll-linux.github.io/repo/ bookworm main" > ~/miatoll.list && \
sudo mv ~/miatoll.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/miatoll.list && \
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Thanks for the new Rom!
Can you reduce installation step. Currently it's too lengthy to follow.
Amazing work man! But I would be surprised if anyone would be even able to flash it. Recently I uploaded a ROM with a fully automated installer and even that was too complicated for many people so I already feel sorry for this thread and You the Dev.
Other than that. Thank You soooo much for this <3. I can't wait to flash it!

Not to go off topic but that's one of the reasons I stopped making Roms on XDA and instead keep them for myself lol.
Anyways OP, Amazing to see people working on Debian based Roms for our device. Will definitely be checking this out sometime this week!

Unfortunately I can't. The recoveries we have available for our phones are not able to mount the raw img file (rootfs.img) so sideloading the devtools and the adaptation package is not possible so we have to manually fix the mount via losetup and make the extraction of the packages above ourselves.
Probably everything will be fixed when we're going to get a fully working and stable recovery.
