Lol - it worked second time with build 0.0.1.

 

After it boots, I'll try with new build.

Damn that's impressive.  A version 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 actually worked.  I gotta be happy about that.  What did you think of this new process?  :D

So, interesting tidbit with my funky cable issues.

 

In BL mode, without a cable attached, it usually has written at the very bottom "Attach USB Cable".

 

In the middle of the output, in green, is written Battery level, and it says OK.

 

If I attach a cable, sometimes it will register at the bottom as USB cable attached.  Sometimes not.

 

However, as long as it shows Battery level OK (charging) in the green line, then the utility (and all fastboot commands and adb commands) will work.

 

I was looking at the bottom and jiggling the cable left and right trying to get that USB Cable attached message to come up - turns out I don't need to see it (meaning the system doesn't actually need to be fully aware that a data cable has been attached, as long as it is charging and (of course) connected to my USB port and not the charger!).

 

Food for thought.

Pretty cool.  Just waiting for the phone to actually boot lol.

 

Of course, it *is* Shamu - so it is notorious for slow boot times after a flash.

 

Oh, and don't hate me - but I connected it to my USB 3 (well, actually, to a USB 3 hub that is connected to one of my USB 3 ports).

The main thing - the automation.  It's 10X easier than doing it yourself, and yet it is doing exactly everything you normally should do with flashing a Factory image, including the things that most people skip doing:  Hash check.

 

I suppose it will not be too hard to hard code a n IMAGES folder for the images to reside in, since you extract to the device folder name anyway, right?

 

Also, wonder if it will work with symbolic links / junctions - because if it does, I always keep the latest Factory images, OTA images, and binaries for all my devices (both of them, really) lcoally, but in separate folders based upon device name.

 

If I just link / make a junction to them in a folder, thing it will work fine?   :lol :ph34r :blink

powered USB 3 hub - and it's because my USB 2 connections are all wonky, except 1 from the front panel (KB) and the one from the onboard header (connected to my 75-1 Card reader).

 

Besides, other than the cable itself being wonky, I've had 0 issues with using USB 3 for the Shamu - unlike ever before on Windows 10....

Ugh.  Still booting.....

 

I love my Shamu, don't get me wrong.

 

But the first time I booted my Taimen, I found a million things (almost literally) wrong with the Shamu that they got right with Taimen.

 

The bootup process is by far one of the top three.

Yea should work fine doing that.  And yes I like the automation, as well.  I gotta write the OTA side of things now. I'll be able to test that on my own.  There's a few other things that need to be added.  Options to wipe data, select the slot, etc.  We'll get there. The fact that it's flashing is AMAZING.

Loved the whale but I do like my Pixel XL.  Works very well.

Oh, $#!+, this is gonna be fun....

 

I use Link Shell Extension to easily create SLs, junctions, etc - gonna try multiple ways to do it and see which works best (I suppose junction the parent folder for each type of image will work just fine, just have to be able to tell it manually where to find the file, after you code that function in lol).

 

TBH, I sort of assumed you'd have it create a dir structure like you did with the prev gen Houses, inside the extracted HoG folder.  Is that still the plan, or you gonna make us users actually do some of the work?

Hmmm.  The Shamu image I have saved is hte T-Mo one, n8i11f, but the one that I DLd through HoG is the generic n6f27m.

 

I suspect something didn't get wiped correctly.

 

Time to boot TWRP, wipe *everything*, then load the BL and try again with ver 0.0.0.0.1

Undetermined.  We're at the design stage still.  This thing's getting an actual installer at some point, too.  And for my own sanity an official build process, git repo, and all that.  LOTS of work to be done. This was mostly just a proof of concept that the idea could work....that being a program that can drive everything including flashing.  It'll take care of its own platform tools when I'm done and all that fun stuff.  But the basics are good!

Funny you mention that  I was talking with a buddy at lunch, and it got me wondering if you were gonna maintain a repository at github or somewhere else for this.

 

Now I know.

 

And as for platform tools - lol - if you can DL the actual image, for that many dif devices, you can surely dl the latest PTs, as well as anything else that the user might need to get this all done, I already knew that.  I already believed that that was gonna be in the works, no questions asked.

 

I DO NOT wipe data so that might explain it.  I haven't added that option yet.

 

Oh, yeah, that might be it then.  Time to play.

 

I saved both versions thus far release - want me to try with the original aught version again, or go ahead and use the new one?

lol - uh, with symbolic links, it created the Nexus folder where the originals are stored.

 

Let me try hardlinks.
