have tried krescue with VIM1 and ran into problems after successfully preparing the sd-card and booting into krescue. the first installation over Android did NOT work for me, but dumping USBburned Ubuntu and restoring it over Android in another VIM1 was successful.
this is how i tried the Ubuntu image (from Khadas fw resourcs) installation over Android:
on win10 pc, copied several versions of img files into /tmp/mounts/dumps/downloads directory
started krescue on VIM1 and tried to write eMMC
the uncompressed img was not recognized at all (not listed dor image WRITE).
the 7z file from the firmware page (VIM1_Ubuntu-xfce-bionic_Linux-4.9_arm64_EMMC_V20190830.7z) was also not recognized (not listed for image WRITE).
gz from img (created with gzip -c in krescue!) produced ‘broken gzip’ message when selected for write
.zstd from eMMC img was accepted for writing, but the result was NOT as expected - no boot after power break, no video
.zstd from SD_USB img was accepted for writing, but the result was NOT as expected - black screen in a few seconds after reset, video existed
why did I fail in restoring the files from Khadas fw resources? is there some special img.zstd somewhere for krescue?
only today i have done this ubuntu image for every device (universal image) and sure i have tested it for all devices VIM1 VIM2 VIM3 VIM3L ! its must works !)
Hey guys, was anyone able to flash this way? Android OS unable to log in to your google account. Even if you turn off the sound at all, the sound will always be at its maximum. Why recommend such an image for use?!?
if u have some problem with android plz ask you questions about android in android thread (its not Krescue - krescue just installation system for other OS )
Why recommend such an image for use?!?
who make recommendation for u to use this android image ?
PS: some krescue images just for test some possible use as stable some not !!!
Who has already installed the android OS, first you need to install ColeElec, and then only install Android TV (otherwise an endless splash screen at startup). By the way, switching on with the remote control does not work (I use 3 remote controls alternately). Voice search does not work, which makes it useless to use it as a TV box. Some minor problems with logging at the first start (for a long time it was not possible to log in, I saw the same problem on a pure android OS).
Another bug, it is impossible to enter letters in the native keyboard. Pressing the OK button does not select a letter, but selects a transition to another menu (everywhere except YouTube as there is its own virtual keyboard).
the air mouse does not allow you to select letters when typing (therefore, it turns out I did not manage to log in for a long time). If you insert a USB flash drive into the connector, after a while the wifi falls off. I only tested a couple of hours :(. Will have to come back to CoreElec again… disgusting software support (numerous bugs, without testing). I have another five-year-old android box for $ 20 and it works better (at least there is voice control), I don’t understand why here people write that everything works fine?!?
tnx for respond ! i will check what happend ( but for me startup about 1 min )
UPDATE: i have checked it ! not have any problem - android first bootup every time slow (because make some setup and initialization for OS - sometimes is several mins ) - but its only first time! next bootup is fast!!
Krescue system just make installation for other OS
if u have some problem with installed OS for example with android GOTO other thread ----> [ROM] SC VIM3L Pie ATV Debug v4 20211122
PS: i never use Android and i cant say anything about android problems!
PSS: if u have problem or question about any linux OS wellcome (openwrt lakka coreelec ubuntu emuelec volumio) wellcome!
great job man!
