I've learned a lot of programming stuff in the last year so I'll see what crazy stuff I can do to it this week.

All good - The best part is that I can really live up to my reputation - and try to break $#!+, without actually breaking anything important.

 

Although, I've replaced my older laptops that were running Sabayon Linux with a newer laptop also running WinX.  So I can now only test WinX.  But I can still test on my ancient platform as well as on the newer lappy (i5 6xxx CPU, 16 GB RAM, M.2 + SATA II SSDs).  And all without fscking my Pixel 4 XL.

[johnlgalt]

OK, so I obviously should not have attempted this so late last night.

 

The file I downloaded from the Android dev page was the full system image, not the OTA.  I subsequently found the links to both full system images and OTAs on XDA (after sideloading would not work - gee, ya think?), and it was the actual correctly named file (with the correct SHA-256 hash) as what HoG attempted to DL, so I'm not sure why HoG got a different hash for the file.  The Hash that HoG produced didn't seem to match anything there, but I did not DL all of the files, I can do so this weekend to see if it was simply pulling the wrong file (though that is probably not the case (at least from HoG's PoV, as it has the absolute correct name of the file needed).

 

Meanwhile, I sideloaded the Dev preview onto the Taimen and all is well.

 

No rush on anything for HoG for right now, but since I do have the Taimen available (and have successfully re-locked the BL, and since it is not a daily use device anymore, I'm here for when you do need testing again.

I had a long day but I do intend to take a look in a bit and see what's going on.  I saw some crazy s*** the last time I ran it for myself where it enumerated the entire world into one list.  I was like WTF is this?  LMAO  But I've not gotten around to playing with it.  I've learned a LOT more about web technologies in the past year in my current job so I plan on taking a look at how I'm doing all of the parsing.  I think it was fairly decent and solid when I wrote it but if Google makes significant changes to the web page layout, then it'll break.  So I may see if I can make it more robust.

Hi Sam .. I am having a new problem with the march update with H.O.G.It opens , Says Platform tools found then under found device Pixel 2XL(Taimen) on the bottom. Its seeing device fine. As soon as i click  Image Type Factory or OTA  I get Unhandled Exception  has occured in your application.  Length cannot be less than zero. Parametername:length click and app will ignore this error and attempt to continue,  but HOG will go no further. No drop down or version numbers  etc.   I just did the OTA on my backup 2XL that is unlocked and unrooted. But My main 2 XL I  use HOG on is unlocked rooted with Viper working etc and I can do  the factory Image save everything and put on recovery and re root in about 10 min.  and set up as I like so I love being able to save everything  Hoping if you have the time you could help me  if you get a chance.. Sorry for the long winded post. Below is the Exception text.    Thanks Sam.  Hope all is well with you.

I'll have to look at it when I get a chance. It's not likely to be until this weekend at the earliest. I'm hoping to make some changes to how it loads the device info.

I'm not ignoring this.  I've just been really really busy with family stuff the past couple weeks.  But I'm hoping this weekend I can finally get to this.

[johnlgalt]

Out of curiosity - I wonder how the new Android Flash tool compares with this....

 

Basic versus super-God level I would assume

[SamuriHL]

Not sure.  Haven't had time to screw with anything lately.  I really do want to spend some time working on this soon.

[johnlgalt]

Android Flash tool - making use of WebUSB protocol:

 

https://source.andro...ontribute/flash

 

I haven't tried it yet, but I *do* have the Android 11 DevPrev2 (started with 1) on my Taimen.  Keeping the Coral free and clear of pre-ßeta products, for now.  I may change, though, some really interesting features there.

[SamuriHL]

To quote Luke in A New Hope....what a piece of junk!

 

Enable OEM Unlocking in the Developer options menu. If your bootloader is already unlocked, this option is grayed out with Bootloader is already unlocked.

 

Pfffffftttttt.  I never understood the concept here on this one.  If you're flashing signed images, why the F*** do I need to unlock?  This is why the HoG with OTA images is better.

[johnlgalt]

I have 2 theories.

 

1. The Dev Preview are not actually signed.  As of yet.  Doesn't make a lot of sense, but that could be the case.
    
2. The dev images that are provided on the page are the full system images only.  Although XDA links to the OTAs as well as the FSIs, if you actually go to the Google page, only the FSIs are listed - and the links to the Flash Tool images to be used are probably also to the FSIs as well, which, as we know, can 'only be flashed on unlocked devices'. 

IOW - stupidity.  Just like you said.

[SamuriHL]

Morons.  That's just carelessness.

Android R  install on Pixel 4 XL.

 

Device recognized, but then I get this in a popup:

My system is waiting to restart from a .NET update that I just noticed - maybe that is causing the issue.  I'll reboot and try again.
 

[SamuriHL]

Could be. I need to find time to get this working again. Just been busy with a ton of stuff.

[johnlgalt]

No rush - I've already got R installed on both devices.  But no, it wasn't the .NET update.  Did the same thing after reboot.

[SamuriHL]

F*** Google right in the HTML they rode in on.  Yea they've killed my ability to parse the image pages now.  It would take a SIGNIFICANT amount of effort to be able to code something to get around what they've done.  I'm not amused at all.  So, this project can be considered dead until further notice.

[SamuriHL]

I have a solution of sorts.  It's incredibly nasty but it may get around the issue.  But they've also changed the format of the web page so it'll be more work.  Nonetheless, I worked around their stupid wall.

[SamuriHL]

RELEASE 0.9.9

 

-Removed beta support for now

-Removed Essential support, like, forever LOL

-Added hack-like work around for the walled garden on Factory and OTA image pages...this is GOING to break if they even sneeze on those pages

-Fixed idiotic reformatting of the Factory image page yet again (dumbasses....knock it off!)

-Oh how nice, Google stuck a Flash button right in the middle of the goddamn information I need to parse.  Awesome...

[johnlgalt]

Uh, they sneezed.
