865 device kernel flasher fails

Open mrslezak opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Worked fine in the past but now doesn't seem to have the proper rights to flash a kernel completely. FK kernel manager and EX both can still flash kernels. I don't know how many people use this feature I'm a kernel dev so I always tell people to use SmartPack over the others just this one issue I don't know what causes it.

Looks like because 865 devices use a super partition and system vendor odb etc are read only it fails.

I think it's because it relies on traditional BusyBox but the 865 with a read only super partition uses the systemless Magisk Module for BusyBox NDK since it can not install to /system/ or related partitions.

I'm not sure, but the screenshot says the flashing process is completed (doesn't necessarily succeeded). It is very likely that the issue is related with some busybox binaries. I always found (of-course on older cpu's) that the flashing from our apps (this one and Smart Flasher) occasionally failed when using with BusyBox Magisk Module won't. Have you tried installing a standalone busybox (here is an app by our team). Also, updating AnyKernel to the latest will also help.
